2 Chronicles 1
Maori Bible
1 Na kua u a Horomona tama a Rawiri ki tona rangatiratanga; i a ia ano a Ihowa, tona Atua, a whakanuia rawatia ana ia e ia.
2 Katahi a Horomona ka korero ki a Iharaira katoa, ki nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ki nga kaiwhakawa, ki nga kawana katoa o Iharaira katoa, ki nga upoko hoki o nga whare o nga matua.
3 Heoi haere ana a Horomona ratou ko te whakaminenga katoa ki te wahi tiketike i Kipeono; i reira hoki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga a te Atua, i hanga nei e Mohi pononga a te Atua ki te koraha.
4 Ko te aaka ia a te Atua, i mauria mai tera e Rawiri i Kiriata Tearimi, ki te wahi i whakapaia e Rawiri: kua whakaturia hoki e ia he teneti mo taua aaka ki Hiruharama.
5 Ko te aata parahi ano hoki i hanga e Petareere tama a Uri, tama a Huru, i reira tera i mua i te tapenakara o Ihowa: a rapua ana he tikanga i reira e Horomona ratou ko te whakaminenga.
6 Na haere ana a Horomona ki reira ki te aata parahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, ki tera i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a whakaekea ana e ia ki reira kotahi mano nga tahunga tinana.
7 I taua po ka puta te Atua ki a Horomona, a ka mea ki a ia, Inoi mai ki ahau ko te aha kia hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
8 Na ka mea a Horomona ki te Atua, Nui atu te aroha i whakaputaina e koe ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri; a meinga ana ahau e koe hei kingi i muri i a ia.
9 Heoi, e Ihowa, e te Atua, whakamana tau kupu ki toku papa, ki a a Rawiri; kua meinga nei hoki ahau e koe hei kingi mo te iwi e rite ano ki te onepu o te whenua te tini.
10 Na homai ki ahau he ngakau mahara, he mohio, mo toku haere atu, haere mai, i te aroaro o tenei iwi: ko wai hoki hei whakarite mo tenei iwi nui au?
11 Ano ra ko te Atua ki a Horomona, Na, i te mea ko ta tou ngakau tenei, kihai hoki koe i tono ki te taonga mou, ki te rawa, ki te kororia, ki ou hoariri ranei kia mate, kihai hoki koe i tono kia maha ou ra; heoi tau i tono ai, he ngakau mahara, he mohio, kia whakarite ai koe mo taku iwi, kua oti na koe te mea e ahau hei kingi mo ratou:
12 Tenei ka hoatu nei ki a koe he ngakau mahara, he mohio; a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe he taonga, he rawa, he kororia, kahore i rite o nga kingi i mua i a koe, e kore ano e rite i muri i a koe.
13 Heoi ka tae a Horomona i tana haere ki te wahi tiketike i Kipeono, i mua te te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki Hiruharama, a kingi ana ki a Iharaira.
14 Na ka huihuia he hariata e Horomona, he kaieke hoiho; kotahi mano e wha rau ana hariata, kotahi tekau ma rua mano ana kaieke hoiho, waiho iho e ia ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi ano ki Hiruharama.
15 Na ka meinga e te kingi te hiriwa me te koura o Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu, i meinga ano e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao; te tini.
16 Ko nga hoiho i a Horomona he mea mau ake i Ihipa; i riro ropu mai i nga kaihoko a te kingi, he ropu me tona utu.
17 Na e ono rau nga hekere hiriwa i riro mai ai te hariata, i puta mai ai i Ihipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hoiho. Ko ratou ano hei kawe hoiho mo nga kingi katoa o nga Hiti mo nga kingi ano o Hiria.

2 Chronicles 1
New International Version
Solomon Asks for Wisdom(A)(B)
1 Solomon son of David established(C) himself firmly over his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with(D) him and made him exceedingly great.(E)
2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel(F)—to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families— 3 and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon,(G) for God’s tent of meeting(H) was there, which Moses(I) the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness. 4 Now David had brought up the ark(J) of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent(K) for it in Jerusalem. 5 But the bronze altar(L) that Bezalel(M) son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the Lord; so Solomon and the assembly inquired(N) of him there. 6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 That night God appeared(O) to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
8 Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me(P) king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, let your promise(Q) to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.(R) 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead(S) this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth,(T) possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor,(U) such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.(V)”
13 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon accumulated chariots(W) and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses,[a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold(X) as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue[b]—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 17 They imported a chariot(Y) from Egypt for six hundred shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[d] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.
