2 Samuel 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Katahi ka haere nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ki a Rawiri, ki Heperona, a ka korero, ka mea, Tenei matou he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.
2 Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’”
A, i mua ake nei, i te mea ko Haora to matou kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei rangatira mo Iharaira.
3 Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.
Na ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, a ka whakaritea he kawenata e te kingi, e Rawiri, ki a ratou ki Heperona, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira.
4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.
E toru tekau nga tau o Rawiri i tona meatanga hei kingi, a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia.
5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.
E whitu nga tau e ono nga marama i kingi ai ia i roto i a Hura ki Heperona: e toru tekau ma toru nga tau i kingi ai ia i roto i a Iharaira katoa raua ko Hura ki Hiruharama.
6 And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’”
Na ka haere te kingi ratou ko ana tangata ki Hiruharama, ki te tu ki nga Iepuhi e noho ana i taua whenua, nana ra te korero ki a Rawiri, te mea, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei ki te kahore koe e pei i nga matapo, i nga kopa: hua noa e kore e taea a tu a reira e Rawiri.
7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
He ahakoa ra riro ana i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa hoki tera o Rawiri.
8 For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”
I mea hoki a Rawiri i taua ra, Ko te tangata mana e patu nga Iepuhi, kia taea rawatia e ia te rerenga wai, ka patu ai i nga kopa me nga matapo e kinongia nei e te wairua o Rawiri. No reira i mea ai ratou, Tera nga matapo me nga kopa; e kore ia e tomo mai ki te whare.
9 Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.
Na ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa, a huaina ana a reira, ko te pa o Rawiri. I hanga ano e Rawiri a tawhio noa, o Miro mai ano a haere whakaroto.
10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.
Na ka tino nui haere a Rawiri; i a ia ano a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.
11 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.
Na ka unga he karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi rakau, me nga kaimahi o nga kohatu whare; a na ratou i hanga he whare mo Rawiri.
12 And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
Na ka mohio a Rawiri kua whakapumautia ia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira, a kua whakanuia e ia tona kingitanga, he whakaaro hoki ki tana iwi, ki a Iharira.
13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.
Na ka tango ano a Rawiri i etahi wahine iti mana, me etahi wahine tupu i Hiruharama, i muri i tona haerenga mai i Heperona. Na ka whanau ano he tama, he tamahine ma Rawiri.
14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Ko nga ingoa enei o ana i whanau ki Hiruharama; ko Hamua, ko Hopapa, ko Natana, ko Horomona,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,
Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua; ko Nepeke, ko Iapai;
16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.
Ko Erihama, ko Eriara, ko Eriperete.
17 Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.
A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua whakawahia a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri, a ka rongo a Rawiri, na haere ana ia ki te pourewa.
18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Na kua tae mai nga Pirihitini, kua tohatoha i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.
19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki runga ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Ka mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, Haere, ka tino hoatu hoki e ahau nga Pirihitini ki tou ringa.
20 Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri ki Paara Peratimi, patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea ia, Pakaru ana i a Ihowa oku hoariri i toku aroaro, koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, ko Paara Peratimi.
21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.
I mahue ano i a ratou a ratou whakapakoko i reira, a maua atu ana e Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata.
22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Na ka haere ake ano nga Pirihitini, a tohatoha ana i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.
23 Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.
Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, a ka mea mai ia, Kaua e haere ki runga; engari me haere awhio atu ki muri i a ratou, ka whakaputa ai ki a ratou i te ritenga atu o nga rakau maperi.
24 And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”
A ka rangona e koe he haruru haere i nga kouru o nga maperi, ko reira koe korikori ai; no te mea ko te haerenga atu tena o Ihowa i tou aroaro ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.
25 And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.
Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini i Kepa a tae noa koe ki Katere.
