Te Toronga o te Kuīni o Hēpā
(2 Whakapapa 9.1-12)
1 Ā, nō te rongonga o te Kuīni o Hēpā ki te rongo o Horomona, ki tāna i mea ai mō te ingoa o Ihowā, ka haere mai ia ki te whakamātau i a ia ki ngā kupu pakeke. 2 Nā, haere mai ana ia ki Hiruhārama, nui atu hoki te tira, he kāmera e waha ana i ngā mea kakara, i tōna nui o te kōura, i te kōhatu utu nui; nā, i tōna haerenga ki a Horomona, ka kōrerotia e ia ki a ia ngā mea katoa i roto i tōna ngākau. 3 Ā, whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o āna kupu katoa, kāhore he kupu i ngaro i te kīngi, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia. 4 Ā, nō te kitenga o te Kuīni o Hēpā i te mōhio katoa o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hangā e ia, 5 i te kai o tāna tēpu, i te nohoanga o āna tāngata, i te tūranga o āna kaimahi, i ō rātou kākahu, i āna kairiringi wāina, i tōna pikitanga i piki atu ai ki te whare o Ihowā, kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.
6 Ā, ka mea ia ki te kīngi, “Pono tonu ngā mea i rongo ai ahau i tōku whenua mō āu mahi, mō tōu mōhio. 7 Heoi, kīhai ahau i whakapono ki aua kōrero, ā tae noa mai ahau, kite noa ōku kanohi. Nanā, kīhai te hāwhe i kōrerotia ki ahau; nui atu tōu mōhio, tōu pai, i te rongo i rongo ai ahau. 8 Anō te hari o āu tāngata, anō te hari o ēnei pononga āu e tū tonu nei i tōu aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tōu mōhio! 9 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, tōu Atua i whakaahuareka nei ki a koe, i hōmai nei i a koe ki runga ki te torōna o Īharaira. He aroha mau tonu hoki nō Ihowā ki a Īharaira, nā, meinga ana koe e ia hei kīngi, hei mahi i te whakawā, i te tika.”
10 Nā, hōmai ana e ia ki te kīngi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata kōura, tōna tini o ngā mea kakara, me ngā kōhatu utu nui; kāhore he mea kakara i tae mai i muri nei hei rite te nui ki ēnei i hōmai nei e te Kuīni o Hēpā ki a Kīngi Horomona.
11 Ā, nā ngā kaipuke o Hīrama nāna nei i mau mai te kōura i Ōpira, nā reira anō i kawe mai ngā rākau aramuka me ngā kōhatu utu nui i Ōpira, tōna tini. 12 Nā, ka hangā aua rākau aramuka e te kīngi hei pou mō te whare o Ihowā, mō te whare anō o te kīngi, hei hāpa, hei hātere, he mea mā ngā kaiwaiata; kāhore anō i tae noa mai he rākau aramuka hei rite, kāhore hoki i kitea i mua, ā taea noatia tēnei rā.
13 Nā, ka hoatu e Kīngi Horomona ki te Kuīni o Hēpā ngā mea katoa i pai ai ia, āna hoki i tono ai, he tāpiri ki runga ki ngā mea i hoatu e te ringa o Kīngi Horomona ki a ia. Heoi, ka tahuri ia, ā, haere ana rātou ko āna tāngata ki tōna whenua.
Te Rahinga a Kīngi Horomona
(2 Whakapapa 9.13-28)
14 Nā, ko te taimaha o te kōura i tae ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau mā ono taranata kōura; 15 hāunga a ngā kairapu taonga, i mau mai ai me ngā taonga a ngā kaihokohoko, a ngā kīngi katoa o Arāpia, a ngā kāwana o te whenua.
16 Nā, ka hangā e Kīngi Horomona ētahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te kōura; e ono rau ngā hekere kōura ki te pukupuku kotahi. 17 Ā, i hangaia e ia ētahi pukupuku iti iho e toru rau, he mea patu te kōura; e toru pāuna kōura ki te pukupuku kotahi; ā, hoatu ana e te kīngi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanōna.
18 Ā, i hangā e te kīngi tētahi torōna nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te kōura pai rawa. 19 E ono ngā kaupae ki te torōna, he mea porotaka a runga o muri o te torōna; he okiokinga ringa anō kei te wāhi e nohoia ana, i tētahi taha; i tētahi taha, e rua anō ngā raiona e tū ana i te taha o ngā okiokinga. 20 Kotahi tekau mā rua hoki ngā raiona i reira e tū ana i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, i runga i ngā kaupae e ono; kāhore he mea pērā i hangā i tētahi atu rangatiratanga.
21 Nā, ko ngā oko inu katoa a Kīngi Horomona, he kōura kau; me ngā oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanōna, he kōura parakore; kāhore he hiriwa; kīhai tērā i kīia he mea nui ngā rā o Horomona.
22 He maha hoki a te kīngi kaipuke ki Tarahihi i te moana, he mea huihui ki ngā kaipuke a Hīrama. Kotahi te ūnga mai i ngā tau e toru o ngā kaipuke o Tarahihi, hei kawe mai i te kōura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i ngā makimaki, me ngā pīkake.
23 Nā, nui atu a Kīngi Horomona i ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mōhio. 24 I whāia anō a Horomona e ngā whenua katoa, kia rongo ai rātou i tōna mōhio i hōmai nei e te Atua ki tōna ngākau. 25 Me te kawe mai anō rātou i tāna hākari, i tāna hākari, i ngā oko hiriwa, i ngā oko kōura, i ngā kākahu, i ngā mea mō te whawhai, i ngā kakara reka, i ngā hōiho, i ngā muera, he mea tatau ā-tau tonu.
26 Nā, ka āmia e Horomona he hāriata, he kaieke hōiho; kotahi mano e whā rau ana hāriata, tekau mā rua mano ngā kainoho hōiho, he mea wehe nāna ki ngā pā hāriata, ki te kīngi hoki, ki Hiruhārama. 27 Nā, meinga ana te hiriwa e te kīngi ki Hiruhārama kia rite ki te kōhatu; i meinga anō e ia ngā hīta kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao te tini.
28 Ā, ko ngā hōiho o Horomona, he mea mau mai i Īhipa; nā ngā kaihoko a te kīngi i tango kāhui mai, tēnā kāhui me tōna utu. 29 Nā, e ono rau ngā hekere hiriwa i riro ai te hāriata i puta ai i Īhipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hōiho; ko rātou hei kawe mō ngā kīngi katoa o ngā Hiti, mō ngā kīngi o Hīria.
