²Naizvozvo varanda vake va­kati kwaari, Ishe wangu mambo ngaa­tsvakirwe mhandara, iye amire pamberi pamambo, avaonge avate pachipfuva chenyu, kuti ishe wangu mambo vadziyi­rwe.

²No reira ka mea atu ana tangata ki a ia, Me rapu tetahi kotiro, he wahine, ma toku ariki, ma te kingi: a me tu ia i mua i te kingi, mana hoki ia e atawhia; a me takoto ia ki tou uma, kia mahana ai toku ariki, te kingi.

³Ipapo vakatsvaka musikana waka­naka panyika yose yaIsiraeri, vakawana Abhishagi muShunami, vakamuisa kuna mambo.

³Heoi rapua ana e ratou tetahi kotiro ataahua i nga rohe katoa o Iharaira; a kitea ana ko Apihaka Hunami, a kawea ana mai ia ki te kingi.

⁴Na he ataahua rawa taua kotiro; a i atawhai ia i te kingi, i mahi hoki ki a ia: otira kihai te kingi i mohio ki a ia.

⁵¶ Katahi a Aronia tama a Hakiti ka whakanui i a ia, ka mea, Ko ahau hei kingi: a meatia ana e ia etahi hariata mana, me etahi tangata noho hoiho, e rima tekau hoki nga tangata hei rere i tona aroaro.

⁶Asi baba vake vakanga vasina kutongomuraira paupenyu hwake hwose, vachiti, Unoitireiko kudaro? wakange ari murume wakanaka kwazvo pamuviri wake; wakange achitevera Abhusaromu pakuzvarwa kwake.

¹¹Ipapo Natani akataura naBhati­shebha mai vaSoromoni, akati, Hauna kunzwa here kuti Adhonia mwanako­mana waHagiti, wobata ushe, asi Dhavhi­dhi ishe wedu haazvizivi?

¹¹¶ Na ka korero a Natana ki a Patehepa whaea o Horomona, ka mea, Kahore ano koe i rongo ko Aronia tama a Hakiti te kingi, kahore hoki i te mohiotia e to tatou ariki, e Rawiri?

¹⁷Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E toku ariki, i oatitia mai a Ihowa, tou Atua, e koe ki tau pononga, Ko Horomona tonu, ko tau tama hei kingi i muri i ahau, a ko ia hei noho ki toku torona.

¹⁸Asi zvino tarirai, Adhonia wobata ushe; asi imwi ishe wangu mambo, hamuzvizivi.

¹⁹A kua patua e ia he kau, he mea momona, he hipi, tona tini; kua karangatia hoki nga tama katoa a te kingi, me Apiatara tohunga, me Ioapa rangatira ope; ko Horomona ia, ko tau pononga, kihai i karangatia e ia.

³³Mambo akati kwavari, Endai navaranda vashe wenyu, mutasvise Soromoni mwanakomana wangu pahesera rangu, mumuburusire Gihoni;

³³Na ka mea te kingi ki a ratou, Mauria nga pononga a to koutou ariki hei hoa mo koutou, ka whakanoho i a Horomona, i taku tama, ki toku muera, ki toku ake, ka kawe i a ia ki raro, ki Kihona:

³⁴Zadhoki mupristi naNatani muporofita vamuzodze ipapo, ave mambo waIsiraeri; muridze hwamanda, muchiti, Mambo Soromoni ngaararame.

³⁶Ipapo Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha, akapindura mambo, akati, Ameni! Jehovha, Mwari washe wangu mambo, unodarowo.

³⁶Na ka whakahoki a Penaia tama a Iehoiara ki ta te kingi, ka mea, Amine: kia pena mai hoki te ki a Ihowa, a te Atua o toku ariki, o te kingi.

³⁷Jehovha sezvaaiva nashe wangu mambo, saizvozvowo ngaave naSoromoni, akurise chigaro chake choushe, chipfuure chigaro choushe chashe wangu mambo Dhavhidhi.

³⁷I toku ariki nei, i te kingi, a Ihowa, kia pena ano ia ki a Horomona; a kia whakanuia ake tona torona ki runga ake i te torona o toku ariki, o Kingi Rawiri.

³⁸Heoi ka haere a Haroko tohunga, a Natana poropiti, a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, me nga Kereti, me nga Pereti ki raro, a whakanohoia ana e ratou a Horomona ki te muera o Kingi Rawiri, a kawea ana ki Kihona.

³⁹Zvino Zadhoki mupristi akatora gonamombe ramafuta paTende akazodza Soromoni. Vakaridza hwamanda, vanhu vose vakati, Mambo Soromoni ngaararame!

³⁹Na tangohia ana e Haroko tohunga te haona hinu i roto i te tapenakara, a whakawahia ana e ia a Horomona. Na ka whakatangihia e ratou te tetere; a ka mea katoa te iwi, Kia ora a Kingi Horomona.

⁴⁰Zvino vanhu vose vakakwira, vakamutevera; vanhu vakaridza nyere, vakafara nomufaro mukuru; naizvozvo nyika ikaunga nenzwi radzo.

⁴⁰Na piki ake ana te iwi katoa i muri i a ia, me te whakatangi te iwi i nga putorino; nui atu hoki te koa i koa ai ratou, ngatata ana te whenua i to ratou hamama.

⁴¹Zvino Adhonia navose vakanga vakokwa naye, vakazvinzwa, vapedza kudya. Ipapo Joabhu wakati achinzwa inzwi rehwamanda, akati, Mhere-mhere iyi inoitirweiko muguta, zvaranyonganiswa?

⁴¹¶ Na ka rongo a Aronia ratou ko ana manuhiri i a ratou e whakamutu ana i ta ratou kai. A, no te rongonga o Ioapa i te tangi o te tetere, ka mea ake, He aha tenei hamama o te pa e ngangau mai nei?

⁴²Wakati achitaura, Jonatani mwanakomana waAbhiatari mupristi, akasvika; Adhonia akati kwaari, Pinda, nekuti uri munhu wakatendeka, unouya namashoko akanaka.

⁴²I a ia ano e korero ana, na ko Honatana tama a Apiatara tohunga e haere mai ana; a ka mea a Aronia, Haere mai; he tangata maia hoki koe, a he korero pai au.

⁴³Ipapo Jonatani akapindura, akati kuna Adhonia, Zvirokwazvo ishe wedu mambo Dhavhidhi wakagadza Soromoni paushe.

⁴³Na ka whakahoki a Honatana, ka mea atu ki a Aronia, He pono rawa, kua meinga a Horomona e to tatou ariki, e Kingi Rawiri, hei kingi.

⁴⁴Uye mambo wakatuma Zadhoki mupristi, naNatani muporofita, naBhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha, navaKereti navaPereti, vakamutasvisa pahesera ramambo;

⁴⁴A kua unga e te kingi hei hoa mona a Haroko tohunga, a Natana poropiti, a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, ratou ko nga Kereti, ko nga Pereti; a kua whakanohoia ia e ratou ki te muera o te kingi:

⁴⁵uye Zadhoki mupristi, naNatani muporofita vakamuzodza paGihoni kuti ave mambo; vakabva ipapo, vakakwira nomufaro, naizvozvo guta rinowunga. Ndiyo mhere-mhere yamanzwa.

⁴⁵A kua whakawahia ia e Haroko tohunga, e Natana poropiti hei kingi ki Kihona: na kua piki ake ratou i reira me te koa, na ngateri ana te pa. Ko te hamama tenei i rongo na koutou.

⁴⁶Zvino Soromoni wogara pachigaro choushe.

⁴⁶A ko Horomona hoki tenei te noho mai nei i runga i te torona o te kingitanga.

⁴⁷A kua tae mai hoki nga pononga a te kingi ki te manaaki i to tatou ariki, i a Kingi Rawiri, ki te mea, Kia meinga e tou Atua te ingoa o Horomona kia pai atu i tou ingoa, kia whakanuia ake e ia tona torona i tou torona. Na piko ana te kingi i run ga i te moenga.

⁴⁸Uyezve mambo wakataura akati, Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri ngaakudzwe, wakagadza mumwe nhasi kuti agare pachigaro changu choushe, meso angu achizviona.

⁴⁸A i penei hoki te kupu a te kingi, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, mona kua homai nei i tetahi hei noho i toku torona i tenei ra, me te kite atu ano oku kanohi.

⁴⁹Zvino vose vakanga vakakokwa naAdhonia vakatya, vakasimuka, mumwe nomumwe akaenda hake.

⁴⁹Na ka pawera nga manuhiri a Aronia, whakatika ana, a haere ana i tona ara, i tona ara.

⁵⁰Adhonia akatya nokuda kwaSoromoni, akasimuka, akandobata nyanga dzeatari.

⁵⁰A wehi ana a Aronia i a Horomona, a whakatika ana, ka haere, a ka hopu i nga haona o te aata.

⁵¹Zvino Soromoni akaudzwa, zvichinzi, Tarirai, Adhonia unotya mambo Soromoni, nekuti wandobata nyanga dzeatari, akati, Mambo Soromoni ngaandipikire nhasi, kuti haangaurayi muranda wake nomunondo.

⁵¹Na ka korerotia te korero ki a Horomona, Ko Aronia tera e wehi anai a Kingi Horomona; kei te pupuri ano tera i nga haona o te aata; e mea ana, Kia oati a Kingi Horomona ki ahau aianei, e kore a whakamatea e ia tana pononga ki te hoari.

⁵²Ipapo Soromoni akati, Kana akazova murume chaiye, ruvhudzi rwake kunyange rumwe harungawiri pasi; asi kana zvakaipa zvikawanikwa maari, uchafa.

⁵²Na ka mea a Horomona, Ki te mea he tikanga pai tana, e kore e taka tetahi makawe ona ki te whenua; tena ki te kitea he he tona, ka mate.

⁵³Naizvozvo mambo Soromoni akatuma vanhu, vakandomubvisa paatari. Akauya, akanamata kuna mambo Soromoni. Soromoni akati kwaari, Enda kumba kwako.

⁵³Heoi ka tono tangata a Kingi Horomona ki te tiki i a ia, i runga i te aata. A haere mai ana ia, piko ana ki a Kingi Horomona; a ka mea a horomona ki a ia, Haere ki tou whare.
