2 Samuel 10
1 Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.
Na i muri i tenei ka mate te kingi o nga tamariki a Amona, a ko Hanunu, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
2 And David said, “I will show mercy to Hanun, the son of Nahash, just as his father showed mercy to me.” Therefore, David sent consolation to him, by his servants, over the passing of his father. But when the servants of David had arrived in the land of the sons of Ammon,
Na ka mea a Rawiri, ka puta toku aroha ki a Hanunu tama a Nahaha, ka rite ki te aroha o tona papa i puta ra ki ahau. Na tonoa ana e Rawiri ana tangata hei kawe i tana whakamarie ki a ia mo tona papa. Na ka tae nga tangata a Rawiri ki te whenua o nga tama a Amona.
3 the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord: “Do you think it was because of the honor of your father that David sent consolers to you? And did not David send his servants to you, so that he might investigate and explore the city, and so that he might overthrow it?”
Na ka mea nga rangatira o nga tamariki a Amona ki a Hanunu, ki to ratou ariki, Ki tou whakaaro he whakahonore na Rawiri i tou papa i tonoa mai e ia nga kaiwhakamarie ki a koe? he teka ianei he titiro i te pa, he tutei, he whakangaro te mea i tono a mai ai e Rawiri ana tangata ki a koe?
4 And so, Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off one half part of their beards, and he cut their garments at the middle, as far as the buttocks, and he sent them away.
Heoi ka mau a Hanunu ki nga tangata a Rawiri, a heua ana e ia tetahi taha o o ratou pahau, tapahia ana o ratou kakahu ki waenga a tae noa ki o ratou papa, a tonoa atu ana ratou.
5 And when this had been reported to David, he sent to meet them. And the men were greatly disturbed by shame. And David commanded them, “Remain in Jericho, until your beards grow, and then return.”
A, no te korerotanga o taua mea ki a Rawiri, ka tono tangata ia ki te whakatau i a ratou; he nui hoki te whakama o aua tangata; i mea ano te kingi, Hei Heriko noho ai, kia tupu ra ano o koutou pahau, ka hoki mai ai.
6 Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.
A, no te kitenga o nga tamariki a Amona e whakahouhou ana ratou ki a Rawiri, ka tono tangata nga tamariki a Amona hei utu i nga Hiriani o Peterehopo, i nga Hiriani ano o Topa, e rua tekau mano, he hunga haere i raro, i te kingi ano o Maaka, kotah i mano tangata, i to Ihitopo, kotahi tekau ma rua mano tangata.
7 And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of warriors.
A, no te rongonga o Rawiri, ka tonoa e ia a Ioapa me te ope katoa o nga marohirohi.
8 Then the sons of Ammon went forth, and they positioned their battle line before the very entrance of the gates. But the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and of Tob, and of Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Na ka puta nga tama a Amona ki waho, a whakatakotoria ana a ratou ngohi ki te tomokanga atu o te kuwaha; a ko nga Hiriani o Topa, o Rehopo, me o Ihitopo, o Maaka, ko ratou anake i te parae.
9 And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.
Na, i te kitenga o Ioapa e akina ana a mua, a muri, ona e te hoariri, ka whiriwhiria e ia etahi o nga tino tangata katoa o Iharaira, a whakaritea ana e ia hei tu ki nga Hiriani:
10 But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.
Ko te nuinga atu hoki o te iwi i tukua e ia ki te ringa o Apihai, o tona teina, a whakatikaia ana e tera hei tu ki nga tama a Amona.
11 And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.
I mea ano ia, Ki te kaha atu nga Hiriani i ahau, na me haere atu ahau ki te awhina i a koe.
12 Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
Kia maia, kia whakatangata hoki tatou mo to tatou iwi, mo nga pa hoki o to tatou Atua: a ma Ihowa e mea te mea i pai ki a ia.
13 And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.
Na ka whakatata atu a Ioapa ratou ko tona nuinga ki te whawhai ki nga Hiriani, a rere ana ratou i tona aroaro.
14 Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.
A, no te kitenga o nga tama a Amona kua rere nga Hiriani, ka rere ano ratou i te aroaro o Apihai, a haere ana ki te pa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa i nga tama a Amona, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.
15 And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
A, i te kitenga o nga Hiriani kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka huihui ratou.
16 And Hadadezer sent and brought the Syrians who were beyond the river, and he led in their army. And Shobach, the ruler of the military of Hadadezer, was their leader.
A ka tono tangata a Hararetere ki te tiki i nga Hiriani i tawahi o te awa: a haere mai ana ratou ki Herama, ko Kopaka hoki, ko te rangatira o te ope a Hararetere ki mua i a ratou.
17 And when this had been reported to David, he drew together all of Israel. And he crossed over the Jordan, and he went to Helam. And the Syrians formed a battle line opposite David, and they fought against him.
A ka korerotia ki a Rawiri; a ka huihuia e ia a Iharaira katoa, a whiti ana ki tera taha o Horano haere ana ki Herama. Na ka whakatikaia e nga Hiriani o ratou ngohi hei tu i a Rawiri, a ka whawhai ki a ia.
18 And the Syrians fled before the face of Israel. And David killed, among the Syrians, the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen. And he struck down Shobach, the leader of the military, who immediately died.
Na ka rere nga Hiriani i te aroaro o Iharaira; a patua iho o nga Hiriani e Rawiri nga tangata o nga hariata e whitu rau, e wha tekau mano ano nga hoia eke hoiho; i patua ano e ia a Hopaka, te rangatira o to ratou ope, a mate iho ia ki reira.
19 Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.
A, no ka kite nga kingi katoa, nga apa o Hararetere, kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka houhia e ratou te rongo ki a Iharaira, a ka meinga hei apa mo ratou. Heoi wehi ana nga Hiriani, a mutu ake ta ratou awhina i nga tama a Amona.
