< Chronicles I 20 >

1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
A, i te takanga o te tau, i te wa e haere ai nga kingi ki te whawhai, na, ka arahina atu he taua maia e Ioapa; a huna iho e ratou te whenua o nga tama a Amona; haere ana, kei te whakapae i Rapa. Ko Rawiri ia i noho ki Hiruharama. Na ka patua a Ra pa e Ioapa, ngaro ana i a ia.
2 And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
Tangohia ana e Rawiri te karauna o to ratou kingi i tona matenga, a ko tona taimaha i kitea e ia, kotahi taranata koura, he kohatu utu nui ano o taua karauna; potaea iho ki te matenga o Rawiri. I whakaputaina ano e ia nga taonga o te pa, tona tin i.
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
Na, ko nga tangata i roto, whakaputaina ana e ia ki waho, poroporoa iho e ia ki te kani, ki te rakaraka rino, ki te toki. Ko ta Rawiri tenei i mea ai ki nga pa katoa o nga tama a Amona. Na hoki ana a Rawiri me te iwi katoa ki Hiruharama.
4 And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
A, i muri iho i tenei ka tupu te whakawhai ki nga Pirihitini ki Ketere: katahi ka patua e Hipekai Huhati a Hipai o nga tama a Rapa; na pehia ana ratou ki raro.
5 And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
A ka ara ano he whawhai ki nga Pirihitini; na ka patua e Erehanana, tama a Iaare, a Rahami teina o Koriata o Kata, ko te kakau o tana taoroa, rite tonu ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu.
6 And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
Na i whawhai ano ki Kata, a i reira tetahi tangata roa, ko nga maihao o ona ringa me ona waewae e rua tekau ma wha, takiono ki ia ringa, a takiono ki ia waewae; a he uri ia no Rapa.
7 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
I tana whakataranga i a Iharaira, patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himea tuakana o Rawiri.
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
I whanau enei a Rapa ki Kata; a hinga ana i te ringa o Rawiri, i te ringa ano o ana tangata.
