1 Kings 21
1 Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
A, i muri i enei mea, he mara waina ta Napoto Ietereeri i Ietereere, i te taha tonu o te whare o Ahapa kingi o Hamaria.
2 So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
Na ka korero a Ahapa ki a Napoto, ka mea, Homai tau mara waina ki ahau, hei kari otaota maku, e tata ana hoki ki te taha o toku whare, a me hoatu e ahau tetahi mara waina, he pai ke atu i tenei hei utu; ki te pai ranei ki tau titiro, me utu ki te moni.
3 But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Na ka mea a Napoto ki a Ahapa, E! ma Ihowa ahau e arai kei hoatu e ahau te kainga tupu o oku matua ki a koe!
4 So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
Na haere ana a Ahapa ki tona whare; pouri ana, riri ana, mo te kupu i korero ai a Napoto Ietereeri ki a ia; mo tana i mea ra, E kore e hoatu e ahau te kainga tupu o oku matua ki a koe. Na takoto ana ia ki tona moenga, me te ahu ke ano tona mata, kihai hoki i kai taro.
5 Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
Katahi tana wahine, a Ietepere, ka haere mai ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tou wairua i pouri ai, te kai taro ai koe?
6 Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’”
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, I korero ahau ki a Napoto Ietereeri, i mea ki a ia, Homai tau mara waina ki ahau, me utu ki te moni: ki te pai ranei koe, me hoatu e ahau tetahi atu mara ki a koe hei utu. Na ka mea mai ia, E kore e hoatu e ahau taku mara waina ki a koe.
7 But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
Na ka ki atu a Ietepere, tana wahine, ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te kaiwhakahaere o te kingitanga o Iharaira? Whakatika ki te kai taro mau, kia koa tou ngakau. Maku e hoatu te mara waina a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, ki a koe.
8 Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
Heoi tuhituhia ana etahi pukapuka e ia, no Ahapa te ingoa, hiri rawa ki tana hiri; a tukua ana aua pukapuka ki nga kaumatua, ki nga rangatira i roto i tona pa, a e noho tahi ana me Napoto.
9 In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
I tuhituhi ia ki te pukapuka, i mea, Karangatia he nohopuku, ka whakanoho i a Napoto ki runga ake i te iwi:
10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
Ka whakanoho ano i etahi tangata, he tama na Periara, kia tokorua, ki tona aroaro, hei whakaatu i tona he, hei ki, Nau i kanga te Atua raua ko te kingi. Katahi ka kawe i a ia ki waho, ka aki ki te kohatu, kia mate.
11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written to them.
Na ka meatia e nga tangata o tona pa, ara e nga kaumatua ratou ko nga rangatira e noho ana i tona pa, te mea i tono tangata ai a Ietepere ki a ratou, te mea i tuhituhia ki nga pukapuka i tukua nei e ia ki a ratou.
12 They proclaimed a fast and gave Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
I karangatia he nohopuku, a whakanohoia ana a Napoto ki runga ake i te iwi.
13 And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
Na ka haere mai nga tangata tokorua, nga tama a Periara, ka noho i tona aroaro: a ka whakaatu aua tangata a Periara i te he mona, ara mo Napoto i te aroaro o te iwi; i mea raua, I kanga e Napoto te Atua raua ko te kingi. Na kawea ana ia e ratou ki waho o te pa, a akina ana ki te kohatu, a mate noa ia.
14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
Katahi ratou ka tono tangata ki a Ietepere, ka mea, Kua oti a Napoto te aki ki te kohatu, a kua mate.
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
A, i te rongonga o Ietepere kua oti a Napoto te aki ki te kohatu, a kua mate, na ka mea a Ietepere ki a Ahapa, Whakatika, tangohia te mara a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, kihai na ia i pai kia homai ki a koe hei utu moni; kahore hoki a Napoto i te o ra, kua mate.
16 And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
A ka rongo a Ahapa kua mate a Napoto, na whakatika ana a Ahapa, haere ana ki raro, ki te mara waina a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, kia tangohia e ia.
17 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi; i ki ia,
18 “Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
Whakatika, haere ki raro, ki te whakatau i a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i Hamaria: kei te mara waina ia a Napoto, kua riro hoki ki reira ki te tango.
19 Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
Korero ki a ia, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua patu iana koe? kua riro ano i a koe? Ki atu ano ki a ia, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te wahi i mitikia ai e nga kuri nga toto o Napoto, ka mitikia ano e nga kuri ki reira ou toto, ae ra, ou ano.
20 When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
Na ka mea a Ahapa ki a Iraia, Kua mau ahau i a koe, e toku hoariri? Ano ra ko tera, Kua mau ano, no te mea kua hoko koe i a koe ki te mahi i te kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
21 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
Nana, tenei ahau te tari kino atu nei ki runga ki a koe, a ka tahia atu ou uri; ka hautopea atu nga tamariki tane katoa i a Ahapa, me nga mea i tutakina ki roto, me nga mea i mahue i roto i a Iharaira.
22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
Ka meinga ano e ahau tou whare kia rite ki te whare o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, ki te whare o Paaha tama a Ahia, mo te whakapataritari i whakapataritari ai koe i ahau, mou i hara ai a Iharaira.
23 And the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
I korerotia ano a Ietepere e Ihowa, i mea ia, Ka kainga a Ietepere e nga kuri ki te parepare o Ietepere.
24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
Ko te hunga o Ahapa e mate ki te pa ma nga kuri e kai; ko nga mea hoki e mate ki te parae ma nga manu o te rangi e kai.
25 (Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
Heoi kahore he rite mo Ahapa, i hoko nei i a ia ki te mahi kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa; he mea akiaki na tana wahine, na Ietepere.
26 He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
Whakarihariha rawa tana haere ki te whai i nga whakapakoko: rite tonu tana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Amori i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
A, no te rongonga o Ahapa i enei kupu, na haea ana e ia ona kakahu, meatia ana he kakahu taratara ki tona kiri, a nohopuku ana, takoto ana ko taua mea taratara nei te kakahu, a mahaki ana te haere.
28 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi, i mea ia,
29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
Kua kite koe i ta Ahapa whakangohengohe nei i a ia ki toku aroaro, na e kore e taria e ahau tenei kino i ona ra: engari hei nga ra o tana tama ahau tari ai i te kino ki tona whare.
