¹Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

¹¶ Na kua oti katoa te mahi i mahia e Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa. A ka kawea mai e Horomona nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, e Rawiri: te hiriwa, te koura, nga oko katoa, hoatu ana e ia ki roto ki nga taonga o te whare o te Atua.

²Then 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 Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

²Katahi ka huihuia e Horomona nga kaumatua o Iharaira, me nga upoko katoa o nga iwi, nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira, ki Hiruharama, ki te mau ake i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i roto i te pa o Rawiri, ara i Hiona.

³nd all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was [in] the seventh month.

³Na ka huihuia ki te kingi nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, ki te hakari, i te whitu o nga marama.

⁴And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

⁴Na ka haere mai nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, a ka hapainga ake te aaka e nga Riwaiti.

⁵and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up.

⁵Kawea ana e ratou te aaka, me te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga oko tapu katoa i roto i te tapenakara; kawea ana e nga tohunga, e nga Riwaiti.

⁶And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁶Katahi a Kingi Horomona me te huihui katoa o Iharaira i huihui mai nei ki a ia ki mua i te aaka, ka patu i te hipi, i te kau, e kore nei e taea te korero, te tatau ranei, i te tini.

⁷And 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.

⁷Na nga tohunga hoki i mau 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.

⁸For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

⁸I roha tonu hoki nga parirau o nga kerupima ki runga i te wahi i te aaka, a hipokina iho ana a runga o te aaka, me ona amo, e nga kerupima.

⁹And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is unto this day.

⁹Na, i te roroa o nga amo, kitea ai nga pito o nga amo i te aaka, i te ritenga atu o te ahurewa; otiia kihai i kitea ki waho; na kei reira tonu a tae noa ki tenei ra.

¹⁰There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put [there] at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

¹⁰Kahore he mea i roto i te aaka, ko nga papa 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 Ihipa.

¹¹And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;

¹¹¶ A, i te putanga o nga tohunga i te wahi tapu; i whakatapua hoki nga tohunga katoa i kitea ki reira; kihai hoki nga tikanga mo nga wehenga i mau i taua ra;

¹²also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets;)

¹²Ko nga Riwaiti hoki, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko ratou katoa, ara ko Ahapa, ko Hemana, ko Ierutunu, me a ratou tama, me o ratou teina, he rinena ma o ratou kakahu; he himipora ano a ratou, he hatere, he hapa; tu ana ratou ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te aata, me nga tohunga kotahi rau e rua tekau e whakatangi ana i nga tetere:

¹³it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, [saying], For he is good; for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,

¹³Na reira, kia hui nga kaiwhakatangi tetere me nga kaiwaiata, kia kotahi tonu te reo i rangona, hei whakamoemiti; hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; kia whakarewa tahi ratou i o ratou reo me to nga tetere, me to nga himipora, me to nga mea rangi waiata, he whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, me te mea, No te mea he pai ia: mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu ake ake: hei reira kua ki te whare i te kapua, ara te whare o Ihowa,

¹⁴so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.

¹⁴Na kihai nga tohunga i ahei te tu ki te minita, i te kapua hoki; kua ki hoki te whare o te Atua i te kororia o Ihowa.
