¹And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;

¹¶ Na ka tonoa e Hirama kingi o Taira ana tangata ki a Horomona; i rongo hoki kua oti ia te whakawahi hei kingi i muri i tona papa: he aroha mau tonu hoki to Hirama ki a Rawiri.

²and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying,

²A ka tono tangata a Horomona ki a Hirama hei ki atu,

³`Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah`s putting them under the soles of his feet.

³E mohio ana koe kihai i taea e toku papa, e Rawiri, te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, i nga whawhai hoki i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a taea noatia te hoatutanga o ratou e Ihowa ki raro i nga kapu o ona waewae.

⁴`And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, there is no adversary nor evil occurrence,

⁴Ko tenei, kua mea nei a Ihowa, toku Atua, kia okioki ahau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kahore he hoari, kahore hoki he kino e pa mai ana.

⁵and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the house for My name.

⁵Na, e mea ana tenei ahau kia hanga he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kia whakaritea te kupu a Ihowa ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, tana i mea ai, Ko tau tama e hoatu e ahau i muri i a koe ki runga ki tou torona, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.

⁶`And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.`

⁶Tena ra, mau e whakahau kia tapahia mai he hita maku i Repanona; a ko aku tangata hei hoa mo au tangata; me hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he utu mo au tangata, kia rite ki nga mea katoa e ki mai ai koe; e mohio ana hoki koe kahore o matou tangata hei rite mo nga Haironi te mohio ki te tapahi rakau.

⁷And it cometh to pass at Hiram`s hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over this numerous people.`

⁷A, i te rongonga o Hirama i nga kupu a Horomona, nui atu tona koa, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tenei ra, nana nei i homai ki a Rawiri he tama mohio hei rangatira mo tenei iwi nui.

⁸And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,

⁸Na ka tono tangata atu a Hirama ki a Horomona, hei mea, kua rongo atu ahau i te kupu i tukua mai nei e koe ki ahau: ka mahia katoatia e ahau tau e hiahia ana, ara nga rakau, te hita me te kauri.

⁹my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.`

⁹Ma aku tangata e tari mai i Repanona ki te moana: a maku e whakatere atu i te moana ki te wahi e whakarite ai koe ki ahau, maku hoki e mea kia rukea ki uta ki reira, ka tiki mai ai e koe: a ka meatia e koe taku e hiahia ai, ki te homai he kai ma toku whare.

¹⁰And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, all his desire,

¹⁰¶ Na ka homai e Hirama he hita, he kauri, ki a Horomona, ana rakau i hiahia ai.

¹¹and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.

¹¹A hoatu ana e Horomona ki a Hirama he mehua witi e rua tekau mano hei kai ma tona whare, he mehua hinu e rua tekau, he mea tuki; ko ta Horomona tenei i hoatu ai ki a Hirama i tenei tau, i tenei tau.

¹²And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.

¹²A homai ana e Ihowa ki a Horomona he mohio, he pera me tana i korero ai ki a ia: a mau tonu te rongo i waenganui o Hirama raua ko Horomona; a i whakarite kawenata raua tokorua.

¹³And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men,

¹³Na ka whakataka e Horomona etahi tangata i roto i a Iharaira katoa; e toru tekau mano tangata taua whakataka.

¹⁴and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.

¹⁴A unga ana ratou e ia ki Repanona, tekau mano i te marama kotahi, he mea whakawhitiwhiti: kotahi to ratou marama i Repanona, e rua nga marama i te kainga: ko Aronirama hoki te rangatira o taua whakataka.

¹⁵And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain,

¹⁵Na e whitu tekau mano nga tangata a Horomona hei mau kawenga, e waru tekau mano hei tarai i runga i nga maunga;

¹⁶apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.

¹⁶Haunga nga rangatira o nga kaitohutohu a Horomona i whakahau nei i te mahi, e toru mano e toru rau aua kaiwhakahau i nga kaimahi i te mahi.

¹⁷And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones;

¹⁷Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka haua e ratou he kohatu nunui, he kohatu utu nui, hei kohatu hahau mo te turanga o te whare.

¹⁸and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.

¹⁸Na taraia ana e nga kaihanga a Horomona, e nga kaihanga a Hirama, e nga Kipiri, whakapaia ana e ratou nga rakau me nga kohatu hei hanga mo te whare.
