2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
Na i muri iho i te matenga o Haora, i te mea kua hoki mai a Rawiri i te patunga i nga Amareki, a kua rua nga ra o Rawiri e noho ana ki Tikiraka:
2 On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.
I te toru o nga ra, na ko tetahi tangata e haere mai ana i te puni i a Haora, he mea haehae ona kakahu, he oneone i runga i tona matenga: a, no tona taenga mai ki a Rawiri, ka hinga ia ki te whenua, a ka piko.
3 “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea? Ka mea tera ki a ia, I mawhiti mai ahau i te puni o Iharaira.
4 “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, I pehea te mea ra? tena, korerotia mai ki ahau. Na ka mea ia, Kua whati te iwi i te whawhai, he tokomaha hoki o te iwi i hinga, i mate; kua mate hoki a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana.
5 Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I mohiotia e koe ki te aha kua mate a Haora raua ko tana tama ko Honatana?
6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.
Na ka mea taua tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I tupono noa ahau ki runga i Maunga Kiripoa, na, ko Haora e okioki ana ki tana tao; na, e whai tata ana i a ia nga hariata me nga kaieke hoiho.
7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
Na, i tona tahuritanga ki muri, ka kite i ahau, a ka karanga ki ahau. Na ka mea ahau, Tenei ahau.
8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, Ko wai koe? Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, He Amareki ahau.
9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Tena, e tu ki toku taha, whakamatea hoki ahau, kua mau pu hoki ahau i te pouri; no te mea kei te toitu tonu te ora i roto i ahau.
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
Heoi tu ana ahau ki tona taha, whakamatea ana ia e ahau; i mohio hoki ahau e kore rawa ia e ora ake i te mea ka hinga nei ia. Na tangohia ana e ahau te karauna i tona matenga, me te poroporo i tona ringa, a kawea mai ana e ahau ki konei ki toku ariki.
11 Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.
Katahi a Rawiri ka mau ki ona kakahu, a haehaea ana e ia; a i pera hoki ona hoa katoa:
12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Na ka uhunga ratou, ka tangi, ka nohopuku a ahiahi noa, mo Haora, mo tana tama, mo Honatana, mo te iwi ano a Ihowa, mo te whare hoki o Iharaira, i hinga nei i te hoari.
13 And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am an Amalekite.”
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, No hea koe? Ano ra ko tera, He tama ahau na tetahi manene, na tetahi Amareki.
14 So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, He aha koe te wehi ai? he aha i totoro ai tou ringa ki te huna i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?
15 Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.
Katahi a Rawiri ka karanga ki tetahi o ana taitama, ka mea, Whakatata atu, e rere ki runga ki a ia. Na patua ana ia e ia, mate ake.
16 For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”
I mea ano a Rawiri ki a ia, Hei runga i tou matenga ou toto; kua whakaatu mai na hoki tou waha i tou he, kua mea, Naku i whakamate ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai.
17 Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,
Na ka waiatatia e Rawiri tenei apakura mo Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana:
18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:
I mea hoki ia kia whakaakona nga tama a Hura ki te waiata o te kopere: e mau na te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka a Iahera.
19 “Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
Tukitukia ana tou ataahua, e Iharaira, ki ou wahi teitei. Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi!
20 Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
Kaua e korerotia ki Kata; kaua e kauwhautia ki nga huarahi o Ahakerono; kei koa nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, kei whakamanamana nga tamahine a te kokotikore.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
E nga maunga o Kiripoa, kati rawa he tomairangi mo koutou, he ua, he mara e tukua ai te whakahere; i akiritia kinotia hoki ki reira te pukupuku o te marohirohi, te pukupuku o Haora, me te mea kihai i whakawahia ki te hinu.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
He toto tena no te hunga i tu, he ngako tena no nga marohirohi, kahore he whakahokinga mai o te kopere a Honatana, kihai ano te hoari a Haora i hoki kau mai.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Ko Haora, ko Honatana, he aroha, he whakaahuareka i to raua oranga; kihai hoki i wehea i to raua matenga; nui atu to raua tere i to nga ekara, to raua kaha i to nga raiona.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
E nga tamahine a Iharaira, tangihia a Haora, nana nei o koutou kakahu ngangana i huatau ai, nana nei i piri ai nga whakapaipai koura ki o koutou weruweru.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi i waenganui o te tatauranga! E Honatana, i werohia na i runga i ou wahi teitei.
26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
Mamae ana ahau, he whakaaro ki a koe, e toku tuakana, e Honatana; nui atu toku whakaahuareka ki a koe: he hanga whakamiharo tou aroha ki ahau, nui atu i to nga wahine aroha.
27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”
Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi: ano te korenga o nga patu o te pakanga!
