He Koha hei Hanga i te Temepara

1 I mea anō a Kīngi Rāwiri ki te whakaminenga katoa: “Ko tāku tama, ko Horomona, ko te mea kotahi i whiriwhiria nei e te Atua, he tamariki ia, he mea ngāwari, he nui hoki te mahi; ehara hoki i te whare mō te tangata; engari mō Ihowā, mō te Atua. 2 Nā, kua whakapaua nei e ahau ōku uaua ki te mahi mea mai mō te whare o tōku Atua, te kōura mō ngā mea kōura, te hiriwa mō ngā mea hiriwa, te parāhi mō ngā mea parāhi, te rino mō ngā mea rino, te rākau mō ngā mea rākau, ngā kōhatu onika, ngā kōhatu e whakanohoia ana, ngā kōhatu kanapa, me ngā mea kakano whakauru, ngā kōhatu utu nui katoa, me ngā kōhatu mapere, tōna tini. 3 Tēnei anō ētahi, he pai tonu hoki nōku ki te whare o tōku Atua; nāku ake tēnei, he kōura, he hiriwa ka hoatu nei mō te whare o tōku Atua, hei tāpiri mō ngā mea katoa kua oti nei i ahau te mahi mai mō te whare tapu: 4 arā, e toru mano taranata kōura, nō te kōura o Ōpira, e whitu mano taranata hiriwa, he mea parakore, hei kōpaki mō ngā taha o ngā whare, 5 ko te kōura mō ngā mea kōura, ko te hiriwa mō ngā mea hiriwa, mō ngā mea katoa, e mahia e ngā ringa o ngā kaimahi. Nā, ko wai e hihiko ana ināianei ki te tāpae i a ia mā Ihowā?”

6 Nā, hihiko tonu ngā rangatira o ngā whare o ngā mātua, me ngā rangatira o ngā iwi o Īharaira, ngā rangatira o ngā mano, o ngā rau, rātou ko ngā rangatira o te mahi a te kīngi. 7 Ā, hōmai ana e rātou mō te mahi ki te whare o te Atua he kōura e rima mano taranata, tekau mano tarami, he hiriwa kotahi tekau mano taranata, he parāhi kotahi tekau mā waru mano taranata, he rino kotahi rau mano taranata. 8 Nā, ko te hunga i kitea nei ki a rātou he kōhatu pai, hōmai ana e rātou ki roto ki ngā taonga o te whare o Ihowā, arā ki te ringa o Tehiere Kerehoni. 9 Nā, ka koa te iwi, i a rātou i hihiko nei ki te tāpae noa; he tapatahi hoki te ngākau i hihiko ai rātou ki tā Ihowā mahi; nui atu hoki te koa i koa ai a Kīngi Rāwiri.

Ka Whakapai a Rāwiri i a Ihowā

10 Nā, ka whakapai a Rāwiri i a Ihowā i te tirohanga a te whakaminenga katoa; i mea a Rāwiri,

“Kia whakapaingia koe, e Ihowā,

e te Atua o tō mātou matua, o Īharaira,

he mea nō tua whakarere ā ake tonu atu.

11 Nōu hoki, e Ihowā, te nui, te mana,

te korōria, te wikitōria, te hōnore;

nōu ngā mea katoa i te rangi, i te whenua;

nōu te rangatiratanga, e Ihowā;

he tiketike noa ake hoki koe,

hei upoko mō te katoa.

12 Nāu ngā taonga, me te hōnore, ko koe hoki hei kīngi mō te katoa;

kei tōu ringa te kaha me te mana;

mā tōu ringa anō e hōmai te nui, te kaha, mō te katoa.

13 Nā, tēnei mātou, e tō mātou Atua, te whakawhetai nei ki a koe,

te whakamoemiti nei ki tōu ingoa korōria.

14 “Ko wai oti ahau, ā, he aha tōku iwi, i whai kaha ai mātou, i pēnei ai te hihiko? Nāu hoki te katoa, nōu anō hoki tā mātou ka hoatu nei ki a koe. 15 He manene hoki mātou i tōu aroaro, he noho noa iho, he pērā me ō mātou mātua; rite tonu ki te ātārangi ō mātou rā i runga i te whenua; kāhore hoki he tūturutanga. 16 E Ihowā, e tō mātou Atua, ko tēnei pūranga katoa kua pae nei i a mātou hei hanga i tētahi whare mōu, mō tōu ingoa tapu, nā tōu ringa ēnei, nāu hoki te katoa. 17 E mōhio ana hoki ahau, e tōku Atua, e whakamātauria ana te ngākau e koe, e manako ana hoki koe ki te tika. Ko ahau nei, he tika tōku ngākau i meatia noatia mai ai e ahau ēnei mea katoa; ā, tēnei ahau te koa nei i tōku kitenga i tāu iwi i konei e hihiko ana ki tāu mahi. 18 E Ihowā, e te Atua o Āperahama, o Īhaka, o Īharaira, o ō mātou mātua, kia mau tēnei ake nei, ake nei, i roto i ngā tokonga ake o ngā whakaaro o te ngākau o tāu iwi, whakaangahia hoki ō rātou ngākau ki a koe. 19 Ki tāku tama hoki, ki a Horomona, hōmai he ngākau tapatahi, kia puritia ai e ia āu whakahau, āu whakaaturanga, āu tikanga, kia oti katoa i a ia; kia hangā hoki te whare, mō reira nei ngā mea kua pae nei i ahau.”

20 Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki te whakaminenga katoa, “Tēnā, whakapaingia a Ihowā, tō koutou Atua.” Nā, kei te whakapai te whakaminenga katoa ki a Ihowā, ki te Atua o ō rātou mātua tuohu ana rātou, piko ana ki a Ihowā, ki te kīngi hoki.

21 I patu whakahere anō rātou ki a Ihowā, i whakaeke i ngā tahunga tinana ki a Ihowā i te aonga ake o taua rā; kotahi mano pūru, kotahi mano hipi toa, kotahi mano reme, me ngā ringihanga, me ngā patunga tapu, tōna tini, hei mea mō Īharaira katoa. 22 Nā, kai ana rātou, inu ana i te aroaro o Ihowā i taua rā, he nui te koa.

Ka Whakawahia e Rāwiri hei Kīngi

Ā, ka tuaruatia tā rātou whakakīngi i a Horomona tama a Rāwiri; whakawahia ana ia ki a Ihowā, hei rangatira; ko Hāroko hoki hei tohunga. 23 Kātahi ka noho a Horomona ki te torōna o Ihowā, hei kīngi i muri i tōna pāpā, i a Rāwiri, ā, kake ana; rongo tonu anō ki a ia a Īharaira katoa. 24 Nā, ko ngā rangatira katoa, me ngā mārohirohi, me ngā tama katoa a Kīngi Rāwiri, ngāwari noa iho rātou ki te kīngi, ki a Horomona.

25 Ā, whakanuia rawatia ake a Horomona e Ihowā i te tirohanga a Īharaira katoa, hōmai ana ki a ia he korōria kīngi, kāhore nei he rite i ngā kīngi katoa o Īharaira i mua i a ia.

He Whakarāpototonga o te Kīngitanga a Rāwiri

26 Heoi, ko Rāwiri tama a Hehe te kīngi o Īharaira katoa. 27 Nā, ko ngā rā i kīngi ai ia ki a Īharaira, e whā tekau tau; e whitu ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Heperona, e toru tekau mā toru ngā tau i kīngi ai ki Hiruhārama. 28 Nā, ka mate ia, he pai tōna koroheketanga, hira tonu ōna rā, ōna taonga, tōna korōria; ā, ko tāna tama, ko Horomona te kīngi i muri i a ia.

29 Nā, ko ngā mahi a Kīngi Rāwiri, ō mua, ō muri, nanā, kua oti te tuhituhi ki ngā kupu a Hamuera matakite, ki ngā kupu anō a Nātana poropiti, ki ngā kupu anō hoki a Kara matakite, 30 me tōna kīngitanga katoa, me tōna māia, me ngā wā i a ia, i a Īharaira, i ngā rangatiratanga katoa o ngā whenua.
