¹Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

¹¶ Katahi ka huihuia e Horomona nga kaumatua o Iharaira ratou ko nga upoko katoa o nga iwi, ko nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona, ki Hiruharama, hei mau ake mo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i roto i te p a o Rawiri, ara i Hiona.

²And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

²Na ka huihui nga tangata katoa o Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona i marama Etanimi, i te hakari, ara i te whitu o nga marama.

³And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

³Na ka tae mai nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, a ka mau nga tohunga ki te aaka,

⁴And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

⁴A kawea ana te aaka a Ihowa, me te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga oko tapu katoa i roto i te tapenakara, kawea ana e nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti ki runga.

⁵And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁵Na kei te tapae a Kingi Horomona, ratou ko te huihui katoa o Iharaira, i huihui nei ki a ia ki te ritenga o te aaka, i nga hipi, i nga kau, kahore nei e taea te korero, te tatau ranei, i te tini.

⁶And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

⁶Na kawea ana e nga tohunga te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki tona wahi, ki te ahurewa o te whare, ki te wahi tino tapu, ki raro i nga parirau o nga kerupima.

⁷For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

⁷I roha hoki nga parirau e rua o nga kerupima ki runga ki te wahi i te aaka, a taupokina iho a runga o te aaka me ona amo e nga kerupima.

⁸And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

⁸I te roroa rawa o nga amo, kitea mai ai nga pito o nga amo i te wahi tapu i te ritenga atu o te ahurewa; otiia kihai i kitea ki waho; kei reira na ano aua mea a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.

⁹There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

⁹Kahore he mea i roto i te aaka, ko nga papa kohatu e rua anake i whaowhina nei ki reira e Mohi i Horepa i ta Ihowa whakaritenga kawenata ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i te whenua o Ihipa.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

¹⁰A, no te putanga mai o nga tohunga i roto i te wahi tapu, na kua ki te whare o Ihowa i te kapua,

¹¹so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.

¹¹A kihai i ahei i nga tohunga te tu ki te mahi, na te kapua hoki: i ki tonu ra hoki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa.

¹²Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

¹²¶ Katahi ka korero a Horomona, I mea a Ihowa, ka noho ia ki te pouri nui.

¹³I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.

¹³Kua oti nei i ahau te hanga he whare hei nohoanga mou, he kainga pumau mou mo ake tonu atu.

¹⁴And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

¹⁴Na ka tahuri te aroaro o te kingi, a manaakitia ana e ia te huihui katoa o Iharaira; a tu ana te huihui katoa o Iharaira.

¹⁵And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David thy father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

¹⁵Na ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, na tona mangai nei te kupu ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, a kua rite nei i tona ringa; i mea ia,

¹⁶Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

¹⁶Mai o te ra i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau taku iwi a Iharaira i Ihipa, kihai i whiriwhiria e ahau he pa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira e hanga ai he whare hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa; engari i whiriwhiria e ahau a Rawiri hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

¹⁷Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

¹⁷Na i whai ngakau toku papa, a Rawiri ki te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

¹⁸But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:

¹⁸Otira i mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, I te mea i roto i tou ngakau kia hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, he pai tonu te whakaaro o tou ngakau:

¹⁹nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

¹⁹Otiia e kore koe e hanga i taua whare; engari tau tama e puta mai i tou hope, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.

²⁰And Jehovah hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

²⁰Na kua mana nei i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia, a kua ara tenei ahau i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa, a e noho nei ahau i runga i te torona o Iharaira, e pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai, kua hanga hoki e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

²¹And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

²¹A meinga ana e ahau ki reira he wahi mo te aaka, mo te takotoranga o te kawenata a Ihowa i whakaritea e ia ki o tatou matua i tana whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa.

²²And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

²²¶ Na ka tu a Horomona ki mua i te aata a Ihowa, i te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, whewhera tonu ona ringa whaka te rangi:

²³and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart;

²³A ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kahore he Atua hei rite mou i te rangi i runga, i te whenua ranei i raro, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te aroha ki au pononga, ina whakapaua o ratou ngakau ki te haere i tou aroaro:

²⁴who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.

²⁴Mau tonu hoki i a koe nga mea i korerotia e koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i korerotia nei e tou mangai ki a ia, a kua rite nei i tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei.

²⁵Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

²⁵Na kia mau, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, aianei tau i korero ai ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i a koe i ki ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau i toku aroaro hei noho ki te torona o Iharaira; mehemea raia ka mahara au tama ki to ratou ara, kia haere i toku aroaro.

²⁶Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

²⁶Na kia mana aianei, e te Atua o Iharaira, au kupu i korero ai koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri.

²⁷But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!

²⁷Engari he pono ranei, tera te Atua e noho ki te whenua? nana, kahore e nui hei nohoanga mou te rangi, me te rangi o nga rangi; ka iti rawa iho te whare kua hanga nei e ahau!

²⁸Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

²⁸He ahakoa ra, kia anga mai koe ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki tana karanga, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakarongo ki te karanga, ki te inoi e inoi nei tau pononga ki tou aroaro i tenei ra.

²⁹that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.

²⁹Kia titiro mai ou kanohi ki tenei whare i te po, i te ao, ki te wahi i ki ai koe, Ko reira toku ingoa; whakarongo ki te inoi e inoi ai tau pononga ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi.

³⁰And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

³⁰Kia rongo hoki koe ki te karanga a tau pononga, a tau iwi hoki, a Iharaira, ina inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi; na kia rongo koe i te wahi e noho na koe i te rangi, a ka rongo, murua to ratou hara.

³¹If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before thine altar in this house;

³¹Ki te hara tetahi tangata ki tona hoa, a ka meinga he oati hei oati mana, a ka tae mai ia a ka oati ki mua i tou aata i tenei whare;

³²then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

³²Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, e mahi, e whakarite te whakawa a au pononga, mau e whakahe te tangata he, e mea iho tona ara ki runga ano ki tona mahunga; mau ano e whakatika ta te tika, e hoatu ki a ia nga mea e rite ana ki tona tika.

³³When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication unto thee in this house:

³³Ki te patua tau iwi, a Iharaira e te hoariri, mo ratou i hara ki a koe, a ka hoki ki a koe, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka inoi, ka karanga ki a koe i roto i tenei whare:

³⁴then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

³⁴Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o tau iwi, o Iharaira, e whakahoki mai ratou ki te whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua.

³⁵When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:

³⁵Ki te tutakina te rangi, a kahore he ua, mo ratou i hara ki a koe; a ka inoi ratou ki te ritenga o tenei wahi, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka tahuri i to ratou hara, no ratou ka whakawhiua e koe:

³⁶then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

³⁶Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o au pononga, o tau iwi, o Iharaira, ina whakaako koe i a ratou ki te ara pai e haere ai ratou; a homai e koe he ua ki tou whenua, i homai nei e koe hei kainga pumau mo tau iwi.

³⁷If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting [or] mildew, locust [or] caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

³⁷Ki te mea he matekai to te whenua, he mate uruta, ki te mea he ngingio, he koriri, he mawhitiwhiti ranei, he moka ranei; ki te whakapaea ranei ratou e o ratou hoariri ki te whenua o o ratou pa; ki te pa mai tetahi whiu, tetahi mate turoro ranei;

³⁸what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

³⁸Ki te mea he inoi, he karanga ranei na tetahi tangata, na tau iwi katoa ranei, na Iharaira, ina mohio ratou ki te mate o tona ngakau, o tona ngakau, a ka wherahia ona ringa ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare:

³⁹then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

³⁹Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e muru te he, e mahi, e homai ki nga tangata nga mea e rite ana ki nga huarahi katoa o tenei, o tenei, e mohio ana hoki koe ki tona ngakau; ko koe anake nei hoki te mohio ana ki nga ngakau o nga tama katoa a te tangata;

⁴⁰that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

⁴⁰Kia wehi ai ratou i a koe i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i runga i te mata o te whenua i homai nei e koe ki o matou matua.

⁴¹Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake

⁴¹Na, ko te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i tau iwi, i a Iharaira, a ka tae mai i te whenua mamao, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa;

⁴²(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;

⁴²E rongo hoki ratou ki tou ingoa nui, ki tou ringa kaha, ki tou takakau kua oti te whakamaro; a ka haere, ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare;

⁴³hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by my name.

⁴³Mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e mea nga mea katoa i karanga ai te tangata iwi ke ki a koe: kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki tou ingoa, kia wehi ai i a koe, kia pera ai me tau iwi, me Iharaira; kia mohio ai h oki kua oti tou ingoa te karanga ki runga ki tenei whare ka oti nei i ahau te hanga.

⁴⁴If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Jehovah toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name;

⁴⁴Ki te haere tau iwi ki te whawhai ki tona hoariri, ki nga wahi e tonoa ai ratou e koe, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa ki te ritenga mai o te pa kua whiriwhiria nei e koe, o te whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

⁴⁵then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

⁴⁵Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, e whakatika hoki ta ratou.

⁴⁶If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near;

⁴⁶Ki te hara ratou ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata i hapa i te hara, a ka riri koe ki a ratou, ka tuku i a ratou ki te hoa whawhai, a ka whakaraua atu e ratou hei whakarau ki te whenua o te hoa whawhai, ki te wahi tata, ki te wahi mamao ranei;

⁴⁷yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly;

⁴⁷Na ki te hoki ake to ratou mahara i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka ripeneta ratou, ka inoi ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou kaiherehere, ka mea, Kua hara matou, kua parori ke ta matou mahi, kua mahi matou i te kino;

⁴⁸if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

⁴⁸A ka tahuri o ratou ngakau katoa, o ratou wairua katoa, ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou hoariri i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka inoi ratou ki a koe ki te ritenga mai o to ratou nei whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua, ki te pa i whiriwhiria nei e koe, ki tenei whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

⁴⁹then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause;

⁴⁹Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, mau hoki e whakatika ta ratou,

⁵⁰and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

⁵⁰Mau ano e muru te he o tau iwi i hara nei ki a koe, me a ratou mahi tutu katoa i tutu ai ki a koe; meinga ano kia arohaina ratou e o ratou kaiherehere, kia tohungia hoki e ratou:

⁵¹(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

⁵¹Ko tau iwi hoki ratou, ko tou wahi tupu i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino;

⁵²that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee.

⁵²Kia titiro mai ai ano ou kanohi ki te karanga a tau pononga, ki te karanga ano a tau iwi, a Iharaira, ka whakarongo ki a ratou i a ratou karangatanga katoa ki a koe.

⁵³For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

⁵³Nau hoki ratou i wehe hei taonga tupu mou i roto i nga iwi katoa o te whenua, he kupu hoki nau, na tau pononga, na Mohi i whakapuaki, i tau whakaputanga mai i o matou matua i Ihipa, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.

⁵⁴And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

⁵⁴¶ A, i te mutunga o ta Horomona inoi i tenei inoi katoa, i tenei karanga ki a Ihowa, ka whakatika ake ia i mua i te aata a Ihowa i a ia i tuturi ra i runga i ona turi, me te tuwhera tonu ano ona ringa whaka te rangi.

⁵⁵And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁵A ka tu ia, ka manaaki i te huihui katoa o Iharaira, he nui te reo, a ka mea,

⁵⁶Blessed be Jehovah, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

⁵⁶Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa nana nei i homai te okiokinga ki tana iwi, ki a Iharaira, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia: hore rawa tetahi kupu i taka o ana mea pai katoa i korerotia e ia, ara e tana pononga, e Mohi.

⁵⁷Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

⁵⁷Hei hoa mo tatou a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, kia pera ano me ia i o tatau matua; kaua ia e whakarere i a tatou, kaua hoki e mawehe atu i a tatou:

⁵⁸that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

⁵⁸Mana e whakaanga o tatou ngakau ki a ia, kia haere i ana ara katoa, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, i whakahaua e ia ki o tatou matua.

⁵⁹And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh unto Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

⁵⁹Na kia tata ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, i te ao, i te po, enei kupu aku i karanga nei ahau ki a Ihowa, kia whakatikaia ai e ia ta tana pononga, ta tana iwi hoki, ta Iharaira e tohe ai, i nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra:

⁶⁰that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.

⁶⁰Kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu.

⁶¹Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

⁶¹Na kia tapatahi o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa ki to tatou Atua, kia haere i runga i ana tikanga, kia puritia ana whakahau, kia rite ki to tenei ra.

⁶²And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

⁶²¶ Na patua iho e te kingi ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa he patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

⁶³And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto Jehovah, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

⁶³I patua hoki e Horomona he patunga mo te pai, he mea patu nana ma Ihowa, e rua tekau ma rua mano nga kau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano nga hipi. Na kua taia te kawa o te whare o Ihowa e te kingi ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira.

⁶⁴The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

⁶⁴I whakatapua ano e te kingi i taua ra a waenganui o te marae i mua i te whare o Ihowa; i tukua hoki e ia ki reira nga tahunga tinana, me nga whakahere totokore, me te ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai: he iti hoki no te aata parahi i te aroaro o I howa hei meatanga mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga whakahere totokore, mo nga ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai.

⁶⁵So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

⁶⁵I mahia ano he hakari i taua wa e Horomona ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, he huihuinga nui, no te haerenga atu ki Hamata tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa, e whitu nga ra, e whitu atu ano nga ra, kotahi tekau ma wha aua r a.

⁶⁶On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David his servant, and to Israel his people.

⁶⁶I te waru o nga ra ka tukua e ia te iwi kia haere, na ka manaaki ratou i te kingi a haere koa ana ki o ratou teneti, pai tonu hoki te ngakau i nga mea pai katoa i meinga e Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki tana pononga, ratou ko tana iwi, ko Iharaira.
