Ngā Whakatutukitanga a Horomona

1 Nā, i te mutunga o ngā tau e rua tekau i hangā ai e Horomona te whare o Ihowā, me tōna whare ake. 2 Ka hangā e Horomona ngā pā i hōmai e Hūrāma ki a Horomona, ā, whakanohoia ana e ia ngā tama a Īharaira ki reira.

3 Nā, haere ana a Horomona ki Hamatatopa, hinga ana a reira i a ia. 4 I hangā anō e ia a Taramoro i te koraha, me ngā pā taonga katoa i hangā nei e ia ki Hāmata. 5 I hangā anō e ia a Petehorono ki runga, me Petehorono anō ki raro he pā kapi tonu i te taiepa, i te kēti, i te tūtaki, 6 me Paarata, me ngā pā taonga katoa a Horomona, me ngā pā hāriata, me ngā pā hōia eke hōiho, me ngā mea katoa i hiahia ai a Horomona kia hangā ki Hiruhārama, ki Repanōna, ki te whenua katoa o tōna kīngitanga.

7 Ko te hunga katoa i mahue o ngā Hiti, o ngā Amori, o ngā Perihi, o ngā Hiwi, o ngā Iepuhi, ehara nei i a Īharaira; 8 ko ā rātou tama i toe i muri i a rātou ki te whenua, he mea kīhai i ngaro i ngā tama a Īharaira, meinga ana rātou e Horomona hei hōmai takoha ā mohoa noa nei. 9 Ko ngā tama ia a Īharaira, kīhai o rātou i meinga e Horomona hei pononga mō tāna mahi; engari hei tāngata whawhai rātou, hei rangatira mō āna rangatira, hei rangatira anō mō ana hāriata, mō āna hōia eke hōiho. 10 Ā, ko ngā rangatira anō ēnei o ngā kaitohutohu a Kīngi Horomona, e rua rau e rima tekau, hei rangatira mō te iwi.

11 I kawea atu hoki e Horomona te tamāhine a Parao i te pā o Rāwiri ki te whare i hangā e ia mōna, i mea hoki ia, "Kaua tāku wahine e noho ki te whare o Rāwiri kīngi o Īharaira; he tapu hoki ngā wāhi i tae ai te āka a Ihowā."

12 Nā, ka whakaekea e Horomona he tahunga tinana mā Ihowā ki runga ki te āta a Ihowā i hangā nei e ia ki mua i te whakamahau, 13 ko te mea o tēnei rā, o tēnei rā; rite tonu te whakaeke ki tā Mohi i whakahau ai, i ngā hāpati, i ngā kōwhititanga marama, i ngā hākari nunui, e toru ngā meatanga i te tau, arā i te Hākari Taro Rēwenakore, i te Hākari o Ngā Wiki, i te Hākari Whare Tīhokahoka. 14 I whakaritea anō e ia tā tōna pāpā, tā Rāwiri, mō ngā wehenga o ngā tohunga ki tā rātou mahi, mō ngā Rīwaiti ki tā rātou mahi, ki te whakamoemiti, ki te minita ki te aroaro o ngā tohunga, ki ngā meatanga o tēnei rā, o tēnei rā; mō ngā kaitiaki kūwaha anō, mō ō rātou wehenga ki ngā kūwaha; ko te mea hoki tēnā i whakahaua e Rāwiri, e tā te Atua tangata. 15 Kīhai hoki rātou i peka kē i te whakahau a te kīngi ki ngā tohunga, ki ngā Rīwaiti mō ngā mea katoa, mō ngā taonga.

16 Nā, kua rite te mahi katoa a Horomona tae rawa ake te rā i tū ai te whare o Ihowā, taea noatia tōna otinga. Nā, kua tino oti te whare o Ihowā.

17 Kātahi a Horomona ka haere ki Ehiono Kēpere, ki Eroto, ki te taha o te moana i te whenua o Ēroma. 18 Nā, ka ungā mai e Hūrāma āna tāngata ki a ia hei kawe mai i ngā kaipuke me ētahi tāngata e mōhio ana ki te moana. Ā, rere ana rātou ko ngā tāngata a Horomona ki Ōpira, tangohia ana e rātou he kōura e whā rau e rima tekau taranata, kawea ana ki a Kīngi Horomona.

1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house, 2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it. 4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath. 5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 6 and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that were not of Israel; 8 of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day. 9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. 10 And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.

11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of Jehovah hath come.

12 Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch, 13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

14 And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. 15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and until it was finished. So the house of Jehovah was completed.

17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the sea-shore in the land of Edom. 18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
