1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
Na ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea, Tenei matou, he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.
2 Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
I mua ake nei, i te mea ano ko Haora te kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai, i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei tino tangata mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
Na ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, ka whakarite kawenata a Rawiri ki a ratou ki Heperona ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai, ara ko ta Hamuera.
4 Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
Na ka haere a Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ara ki Iepuhu; i reira ano nga Iepuhi, nga tangata whenua.
5 The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
Na ka mea nga tangata o Iepuhu ki a Rawiri, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei. Heoi kua riro i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa ia o Rawiri.
6 Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.
Na ka mea a Rawiri, Ko te tangata mana te patu tuatahi ki nga Iepuhi, hei tino tangata ia, hei rangatira. Na ko Ioapa tama a Teruia kua tae wawe, a meinga ana ko ia te tino tangata.
7 So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.
Na ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa; koia i huaina ai e ratou a reira ko te pa o Rawiri.
8 He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
A i hanga e ia te pa a tawhio noa, o Miro mai a taka noa; a na Ioapa i whakaora tera atu wahi o te pa.
9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
Na ka tino nui haere a Rawiri, i a ia hoki a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.
10 Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
Na ko nga tino tangata enei a Rawiri, i kaha rawa nei me ia mo tona rangatiratanga, ratou ko Iharaira katoa, hei whakakingi i a ia; hei pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai mo Iharaira.
11 This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
A ko te tokomaha tenei o nga marohirohi a Rawiri: ko Iahopeama, tama a tetahi Hakamoni, te rangatira o te toru tekau; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru a patua iho e ia i te whakaekenga kotahi.
12 Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.
I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi tokotoru.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.
I a Rawiri ia i Paharamime, a i huihui nga Pirihitini ki reira ki te whawhai, a i reira tetahi wahi whenua e kapi ana i te parei; na kua rere te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.
14 But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
Na tu ana raua i waenganui o taua wahi, a ka mau i a raua, patua iho e raua nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.
15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
Na ka haere nga rangatira tokotoru, no te toru tekau, ki raro, ki te kamaka ki a Rawiri, ki te ana o Aturama: a ko te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raroraro i Repaima e noho a puni ana.
16 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
Na i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa, a ko nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i Peterehema i taua wa.
17 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
Na ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, me he tangata hei mea wai mai moku i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!
18 So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
Na tika ana taua tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia mai ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha; tangohia ana e ratou, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te inu, engari ringihia ana e ia h ei mea ki a Ihowa.
19 saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
I mea ia, Aue, ma toku Atua ahau e arai kei mea i tenei! kia inumia koia e ahau nga toto o enei tangata, me i kotahi nei kua mate? me i kotahi hoki ratou kua mate i te tikinga atu. Na reira i kore ai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua to a tokotoru.
20 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
Na ko Apihai teina o Ioapa te rangatira o taua tokotoru; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa ia i roto i te tokotoru.
21 He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
O te tokotoru, nui atu tona kororia i to te tokorua, a meinga ana ko ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.
22 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
Me Penaia tama a Iehoiara, he tama na tetahi tangata toa o Kapateere, he nui ana mahi, nana i patu nga tama tokorua a Ariere o Moapa; i haere ano ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te rua i te wa o te hukarere.
23 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
Nana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata nui, e rima nga whatianga te roa: he tao ano i te ringa o taua Ihipiana koia ano kei te rakau a te kaiwhatu; na haere ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko hoki tana, a kapohia ana e ia te tao i roto i te ringa o te Ihipiana, patua iho ia ki tana tao ano.
24 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
Na Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; i whai ingoa ano ia i nga toa tokotoru.
25 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
Na, nona te kororia nui o te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.
