2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.
Na ka pa he matekai i nga ra o Rawiri, e toru nga tau, ko to tetahi tau aki tonu iho ki to tetahi tau; a ka rapua te tikanga e Rawiri i te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ka mea a Ihowa, Mo ta Haora ratou ko tona whare hutoto; mona i whakamate i nga Kipeoni.
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
Katahi te kingi ka karanga ki nga Kipeoni, a ka korero ki a ratou: na ehara nga Kipeoni i nga tama a Iharaira; engari no nga morehu o nga Amori, no era i oati ra nga tama a Iharaira: na whaia ana e Haora kia patua, he hae nona, he whakaaro hoki k i nga tama a Iharaira ratou ko Hura:
3 And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki nga Kipeoni, Ko te aha taku e mea ai ki a koutou? he aha hoki taku whakamarie e manaakitia ai e koutou te kainga tupu o Ihowa?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.
Na ka mea nga Kipeoni ki a ia, Ehara i te koura i te hiriwa ranei te mea kei waenganui i a matou me Haora ratou ko tona whare; kahore hoki a matou mea ki tetahi tangata o Iharaira kia mate. Ano ra ko ia, Ka meatia e ahau ta koutou e ki mai ai.
5 And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,
Katahi ratou ka mea ki te kingi, Ko te tangata i whakamoti nei i a matou, i whakatakoto whakaaro nei mo matou kia ngaro, kei waiho ki tetahi o nga rohe o Iharaira.
6 let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].
Kia tokowhitu nga tangata o ona tama e homai ki a matou, a ma matou ratou e tarona, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki Kipea o Haora, o ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai. Na ka mea te kingi, Ka hoatu e ahau.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Otiia i tohungia e te kingi a Mepipohete tama a Honatana tama a Haorohe whakaaro ki te oati a Ihowa i takoto i a raua, i a Rawiri raua ko Honatana tama a Haora.
8 And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
Engari i mau te kingi ki nga tama tokorua a Rihipa tamahine a Aia i whanau nei i a raua ko Haora, ara ki a Aramoni raua ko Mepipohete; ki nga tama tokorima hoki a Merapa tamahine a Haora i whanau i a raua ko Atariere tama a Paratirai Mehorati:
9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.
A hoatu ana e ia ki nga ringa o nga Kipeoni, a taronatia ana e ratou ki te maunga, i te aroaro o Ihowa: na hinga ngatahi ana to ratou tokowhitu katoa. No nga ra o te kotinga ratou i whakamatea ai, no nga ra tuatahi, i te timatanga o te kotinga pa rei.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Na ka mau a Rihipa tamahine a Aia ki te kakahu taratara, a wharikitia ana hei mea mona ki runga ki te kamaka, i te timatanga o te kotinga, heke noa he wai i te rangi ki runga ki a ratou; kihai hoki i tukua e ia he manu o te rangi kia noho ki run ga i te awatea, he kirehe ranei o te parae i to po.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
A i korerotia ki a Rawiri taua meatanga a Rihipa tamahine a Aia, wahine iti a Haora.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
Na ka haere a Rawiri, ka tikina nga whenua o Haora, nga wheua o Honatana, o tana tama, i nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara, na ratou nei hoki aua wheua i tango puku i te waharoa o Petehana i te wahi i whakairihia ai e nga Pirihitini i te ra i patua a i a Haora e nga Pirihitini ki Kiripoa.
13 and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
A kawea ana e ia i reira nga wheua o Haora, me nga wheua o Honatana, o tana tama: i kohia ano e ratou nga wheua o te hunga i whakatarea.
14 And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.
A tanumia ana nga wheua o Haora raua ko Honatana, ko tana tama, ki te whenua o Pineamine ki Heraha ki te urupa o Kihi, o tona papa: a ka oti i a ratou nga mea katoa i whakahaua e te kingi, na muri iho ka marie mai te Atua ki te whenua.
15 And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.
Na ka whawhai ano nga Pirihitini ratou ko Iharaira, a haere ana a Rawiri ki raro, ratou ko ana tangata, whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini: na ka ruha haere a Rawiri.
16 And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah — the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] — thought to smite David.
Na ko Ihipipenopo, no nga uri o Rapa, ko te taimaha o tana tao, e toru rau hekere parahi te taimaha, he mea hou te hoari, whitiki rawa ki a ia; ka mea ia kia patua a Rawiri.
17 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
Na pikitia ana ia e Apihai tama a Teruia, a patua iho e ia te Pirihitini, whakamatea iho. Na reira i oati ai nga tangata a Rawiri ki a ia, i mea ai, Kati rawa tou haere tahi tatou ki te whawhai, kei keto i a koe te rama o Iharaira.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.
A muri iho i tenei ka whawhai ano ki nga Pirihitini ki Kopo, a na Hipekai Huhati i patu a Hapa, no nga uri o Rapa.
19 And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
Na ka whawhaitia ano nga Pirihitini ki Kopo, a na Erehanana tama a Iaareorekimi o Peterehema i patu te teina o Koriata Kiti, ko te kakau o tana taoroa rite tonu ki te kurupae a te kaiwhatu.
20 And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.
A i whawhai ano ki Kata. Na ko tetahi tangata roa e ono nei nga maihao o tetahi ringa, o tetahi ringa, e ono ano hoki nga maikara o tetahi waewae, o tetahi waewae, e rua tekau ma wha katoa te maha, he uri ano no Rapa.
21 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
I tana whakataranga i a Iharira, na patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himei tuakana o Rawiri.
22 These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
He uri enei tokowha no Rapa i Kata, a hinga ana i te ringa o Rawiri, i te ringa hoki o ana tangata.
