1 Reis 9

1 When Solomon had finished the building of Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do, 2 Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 Yahweh said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 4 As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances, 5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’ 6 But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?’ 9 and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.’"

10 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, Yahweh’s house and the king’s house 11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn’t please him. 13 He said, "What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" He called them the land of Cabul*9:13 "Cabul" sounds like Hebrew for "good-for-nothing". to this day. 14 Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents*9:14 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces, so 120 talents is about 3.6 metric tons of gold.

15 This is the reason of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted: to build Yahweh’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower, 18 Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness, 19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel— 21 their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy—of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day. 22 But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. 23 These were the five hundred fifty chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.

24 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built Millo.

25 Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh three times per year, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.

26 King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27 Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents,*9:28 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces, so 420 talents is about 12.6 metric tons and brought it to King Solomon.

Ka Puta mai anō a Ihowā ki a Horomona

1 Ā, ka oti i a Horomona te whare o Ihowā, me te whare o te kīngi, me ngā mea katoa i hiahia ai a Horomona, i pai ai kia mahia; 2 nā, ko te rua o ngā putanga o Ihowā ki a Horomona, pērā me tōna putanga ki a ia ki Kipeono. 3 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a ia:

"Kua rongo ahau i tāu īnoi, i tāu karanga i karanga ai koe i tōku aroaro; kua oti i ahau te whakatapu tēnei whare kua hangā nei e koe, hei waihotanga iho mō tōku ingoa ā ake ake; ka tau anō ōku kanohi, me tōku ngākau, ki reira i ngā rā katoa.

4 "Nā, ko koe, ki te rite tāu haere i tōku aroaro ki te haere a tōu pāpā, a Rāwiri, ā, ka tapatahi, ka tika te ngākau ka mahi koe i ngā mea katoa i whakahau ai ahau ki a koe, ka pupuri i āku tikanga, i āku whakaritenga; 5 kātahi ahau ka whakapūmau i te torōna o tōu kīngitanga ki a Īharaira ā ake ake; ka pērā me tāku i kōrero ai ki tōu pāpā, ki a Rāwiri, i ahau i kī rā, ‘E kore e whakakorea he tangata māu mō te torōna o Īharaira.’

6 "Otiia, ki te anga koutou ko ā koutou tama, ki te tahuri kē, ā, kāhore e whai i ahau, e pupuri i āku whakahau, i āku tikanga, i hoatu e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro, ā, ka haere, ka mahi ki ngā atua kē, ka koropiko ki a rātou, 7 kātahi ka hautopea atu e ahau a Īharaira i te mata o te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a rātou; ā, ko tēnei whare i whakatapua nei e ahau mō tōku ingoa, ka ākiritia atu e ahau i tōku aroaro, ā, ka waiho a Īharaira hei whakatauki, hei taunutanga i roto i ngā iwi katoa. 8 Nā, ahakoa te tiketike o te whare nei, ka mīharo ia ngā tāngata katoa e haere ana nā konei, ka whakahī, ka mea, ‘Nā te aha tēnei mahi a Ihowā ki tēnei whenua, ki tēnei whare?’ 9 Nā, ka whakahoki rātou, ‘Mō rātou i whakarere i a Ihowā, i tō rātou Atua, i whakaputa mai nei i ō rātou mātua i te whenua o Īhipa, ā, ka tango ki ngā atua kē, ka koropiko ki a rātou, ka mahi ki a rātou; nō reira, i hōmai ai e Ihowā tēnei kino katoa ki runga ki a rātou.’ "

10 Nā, i te mutunga o ngā tau e rua tekau, i te mea ka oti te hanga e Horomona ngā whare e rua, te whare o Ihowā, me te whare o te kīngi; 11 nā, i hōmai e Hīrama kīngi o Tāira he rākau hīta ki a Horomona, he rākau kauri, he kōura, ko āna katoa i pai ai; nā, hoatu ana e Kīngi Horomona ki a Hīrama e rua tekau ngā pā i te whenua o Karirī.

12 Ā, ka haere ake a Hīrama i Tāira kia kite i ngā pā i hoatu nei e Horomona ki a ia, kīhai i rite ki tāna titiro. 13 Ka mea ia, "He aha ēnei pā i hōmai nei e koe ki ahau, e tōku tuakana?" Nā, huaina iho e ia ko te whenua o Kapuru, koia tēnei ināianei. 14 Nā, tukua atu ana e Hīrama ki te kīngi kotahi rau e rua tekau ngā taranata kōura.

Ētahi atu Tutukitanga a Horomona

15 Nā, ko te pūtake tēnei o te whakataka i whakatakā ai e Horomona; hei hanga i te whare o Ihowā, i tōna ake whare, i Miro, i te taiepa o Hiruhārama, i Hatoro, i Mekiro, i Kētere. 16 (I haere mai hoki a Parao kīngi o Īhipa, ā, horo ana a Kētere i a ia, tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, patua iho hoki ngā Kanaani e noho ana i te pā, ā, hōmai ana hei kaipākūhā ki tāna tamāhine, ki te wahine a Horomona. 17 Nā, hangā ana e Horomona), a Kētere me Petehorono ki raro, 18 me Paarata, me Taramoro i te koraha, i taua whenua, 19 me ngā pā taonga katoa o Horomona, me ngā pā mō ngā hāriata, me ngā pā mō ngā kaieke hōiho, me tā Horomona i hiahia ai kia hangā ki Hiruhārama, ki Repanōna, ki te whenua katoa hoki o tōna kīngitanga.

20 Ko ngā mōrehu katoa o ngā Amori, o ngā Hiti, o ngā Perihi, o ngā Hiwi, o ngā Iepuhi ehara nei i ngā tama a Īharaira – 21 ko ā rātou tamariki i mahue i muri i a rātou i te whenua, kīhai nei i taea e ngā tama a Īharaira te huna rawa – nā, whakatakohatia ana rātou e Horomona, he mahi te takoha, ā tae noa ki tēnei rā. 22 Ko ngā tama ia a Īharaira, kīhai i meinga e Horomona hei kaimahi; ko rātou hoki hei tāngata whawhai, hei tāngata māna, hei rangatira māna, hei kaiwhakahauhau māna, hei rangatira anō mō ana hāriata, mō āna kaieke hōiho.

23 Ko ngā rangatira ēnei o ngā kaitohutohu, o ngā rangatira o te mahi a Horomona, e rima rau e rima tekau, he rangatira, mō ngā kaimahi i te mahi.

24 Nā, kua riro atu te tamāhine a Parao i te pā o Rāwiri ki runga, ki te whare i hangā e ia mōna; kātahi a Miro ka hangā e ia.

25 Nā, i te tau kotahi, e toru ngā tāpaenga a Horomona i ngā tahunga tinana, i ngā whakahere mō te pai ki runga ki te āta i hangā e ia mā Ihowā, i tahuna anō e ia te whakakakara ki tērā i te aroaro o Ihowā. Heoi, kua oti te whare i a ia.

Te Mahi Hoko a Horomona

26 Nā, he maha ngā kaipuke i hangā e Kīngi Horomona ki Ehiono Kēpere, ki tērā i Eroto i te taha o te Moana Whero, i te whenua o Ēroma. 27 Ā, tonoa ana e Hīrama āna tāngata ki runga ki ngā kaipuke, he kaimahi kaipuke, he mōhio ki te moana, hei hoa mō ngā tāngata a Horomona. 28 Nā, ka rere rātou ki Ōpira, ā, utaina ana he kōura i reira, e whā rau e rua tekau taranata, ā, kawea ana ki a Kīngi Horomona.
