He Whakariteritenga hei Hanga i te Temepara
(1 Kīngi 5.1-18)
1 Nā, ka mea a Horomona kia hangā he whare mō te ingoa o Ihowā, he whare hoki mō tōna kīngitanga. 2 Nā, ka taua e Horomona e whitu tekau mano tāngata hei kaipīkau, e waru tekau mano hoki hei tua i runga i te maunga, me ngā kaitirotiro i a rātou e toru mano e ono rau.
3 Nā, ka tuku tāngata a Horomona ki a Hūrāma kīngi o Tāira hei kī atu:
“Kia rite ki tāu i mea ai ki tōku pāpā, ki a Rāwiri; i tukua mai hoki e koe he hīta kia kawea mai māna, hei hanga i tētahi whare mōna hei nohoanga, kia pērā hoki tāu ki ahau. 4 Nanā, ka hangā e ahau he whare mō te ingoa o Ihowā, o tōku Atua, ka whakatapua mōna, hei tahunga mō te whakakakara reka ki tōna aroaro, mō te taro aroaro tūturu, mō ngā tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi, o ngā hāpati, o ngā kōwhititanga marama, o ngā hākari o Ihowā, o tō mātou Atua. He tikanga tēnei ake ake mā Īharaira.
5 “Nā, he nui te whare ka hangā nei e ahau; he nui hoki tō mātou Atua i ngā atua katoa. 6 Otiia ko wai e āhei te hanga whare mōna? Kāhore nei hoki e nui te rangi me te rangi o ngā rangi hei nohoanga mōna. Ko wai koia ahau hei hanga whare mōna, heoi nei hei tahu whakakakara ki tōna aroaro?
7 “Tēnā, ungā mai ki ahau tētahi tangata e mōhio ana ki te mahi i te kōura, i te hiriwa, i te parāhi, i te rino, i te mea pāpura, whero, purū, e mōhio ana ki te mahi i ngā āhua whakairo katoa, hei hoa mō te hunga mōhio i ahau nei, i a Hūrā, i Hiruhārama, mō te hunga i whakatūtūria e tōku pāpā, e Rāwiri.
8 “Tukua mai anō hoki ki ahau he rākau hīta, he kauri, he aramuka i Repanōna; e mātau ana hoki ahau he hunga mōhio āu tāngata ki te tapahi rākau i Repanōna. Nā, ko āku tāngata hei hoa mō āu tāngata, 9 hei whakapai rākau māku, kia maha; nō te mea he nui te whare ka hangā nei e ahau, he mea ka mīharotia. 10 Nanā, ko tāku e hoatu ai ki āu tāngata, ki ngā kaitārai, ki ngā kaitapahi i ngā rākau, he wīti, he mea patu e rua tekau mano mēhua, he pārei e rua tekau mano mēhua, he wāina e rua tekau mano pāti, he hinu e rua tekau mano pāti.”
11 Nā, ka whakautua e Hūrāma kīngi o Tāira, he mea tuhituhi, tukua ai e ia ki a Horomona:
“He aroha nō Ihowā ki tāna iwi i hōmai ai koe e ia hei kīngi mō rātou.”
12 I mea anō a Hūrāma:
“Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, te Atua o Īharaira, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, nāna hoki i hōmai ki a Kīngi Rāwiri he tama ngārahu tika, e hua ana ōna whakaaro, tōna mōhio, hei hanga i te whare mō Ihowā, i te whare anō mō tōna kīngitanga.
13 “Nā, kua ungā atu nei e ahau tētahi tangata whakaaro, e hua ana tōna mōhio, nā tōku pāpā, nā Hūrāma, 14 he tama nā tētahi wahine o ngā tamāhine a Rāna, ko tōna pāpā he tangata nō Tāira, he mōhio ki te mahi kōura, hiriwa, parāhi, rino kōhatu, rākau, pāpura, purū, rīnena pai, whero; ki te whakairo hoki i ngā whakairo katoa, ki te whakatauira i ngā whakaaro katoa e hoatu ki a ia; hei hoa mō āu mea mōhio, mō ngā mea mōhio anō hoki a tōku ariki, a Rāwiri, a tōu pāpā.
15 “Nā, ko te wīti, ko te pārei, ko te hinu, ko te wāina, i kōrerotia mai nā e tōku ariki, māna e hōmai ki āna pononga; 16 ā, mā mātou e tapahi he rākau i Repanōna, kia rite ki āu e mea ai māu; ka whakatere atu ai ki a koe i te moana ki Hopa, ā, māu e taritari ki Hiruhārama.”
Ka Tīmata te Hanga o te Temepara
(1 Kīngi 6.1-38)
17 Nā, ka taua e Horomona ngā tāngata iwi kē i te whenua o Īharaira i muri i te tauanga i taua ai e tōna pāpā e Rāwiri; ā, ka kitea kotahi rau e rima tekau mā toru mano e ono rau. 18 Ā, ka meinga ētahi o rātou, e whitu tekau mano, hei kaipīkau, e waru tekau mano anō hei tārai i runga i te maunga, e toru mano e ono rau hei kaitirotiro, hei whakamahi i te iwi.
