2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David: David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith,
Na ko nga kupu whakamutunga enei a Rawiri. He kupu tenei na Rawiri tama a Hehe, he kupu hoki na te tangata i whakarewaina ki runga, na ta te Atua o Hakopa i whakawahi ai, na te kaihimene ahuareka o Iharira;
2 The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And his word was on my tongue.
He kaiwhakapuaki ahau i te kupu a te wairua o Ihowa: kei toku arero tana korero.
3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God;
I korero te Atua o Iharaira, i mea te Kamaka o Iharaira ki ahau: Ko ia te kaiwhakatakoto tikanga mo nga tangata, e whakatakoto tikanga ana i runga i te wehi ki a Ihowa,
4 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [like] the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; [When] from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth from the earth.
Ka rite ia ki te marama o te ata ina whiti te ra, o te ata kahore nei he kapua; ki te tarutaru tupu hou e pihi ake ana i te whenua i te mea ka whiti te ra i te maonga o te ua.
5 Although my house be not so before God, Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in every way and sure; For [this is] all my salvation, and every desire, Although he make [it] not to grow.
He pono ehara toku whare i te pena i te aroaro o te Atua; heoi kua takoto tana kawenata u tonu ki ahau, rite rawa nga aha katoa, mau rawa: no te mea ko toku whakaoranga katoa tenei, ko taku hoki e whakaahuareka ai, ahakoa kahore e meinga ana e ia kia tupu.
6 But [the sons] of Belial [are] all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands;
Ko te hunga atuakore ia ka rite katoa ki te tataramoa e aia atu ana, e kore nei e hopukia atu e te ringa:
7 And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.
Engari ko te tangata e whakapa atu, kia kapi ia i te rino, kia mau hoki ki te kakau o te tao; a ka tahuna rawatia ratou ki te ahi i to ratou wahi.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite the chief of the captains: he was Adino the Eznite; he [fought] against eight hundred, slain [by him] at one time.
Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tangata marohirohi a Rawiri, ko Iohepepahapete Takamoni, ko ia te tino rangatira; ko Arino Eteni ano ia, i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e waru, patua iho i te whakaekenga kotahi.
9 And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite: he was one of the three mighty men with David, when they had defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone up.
I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi, o nga hoa tokotoru o Rawiri i ta ratou whakataranga ki nga Pirihitini i huihui ki reira ki te whawhai, i te mea kua riro nga tangata o Iharaira:
10 He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
Whakatika ana ia, a patua iho nga Pirihitini a ngenge noa tona ringa, piri noa tona ringa ki te hoari; a nui atu te wikitoria i meinga e Ihowa i taua ra; a hoki ana te iwi i muri i a ia, he hui kau i nga parakete.
11 And after him, Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite: the Philistines were gathered into a troop, and there was there a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines;
A i muri i a ia ko Hamaha tama a Ake Harari. Na, ko te huihuinga o nga Pirihitini ki te taua, ki tetahi wahi oneone e kapi ana i te pi; a rere ana te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.
12 and he stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
Heoi tu ana tera i waenganui o taua wahi, na ka mau i a ia, patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.
13 And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, when the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Na ka haere e toru o nga rangatira e toru tekau ki raro, a ka tae ki a Rawiri i te kotinga witi ki te ana i Aturama: a i te noho tera te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raorao i Repaima.
14 And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
Na i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa; i Peterehema ano nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i taua wa.
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
Na ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, te ai he tangata hei kawe wai moku hei inu i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!
16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
Na wahi pu ana aua toa tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha, tangohia ana, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai ia i pai ki te inu, na ringihia ana e ia hei mea ki a Ihow a.
17 And he said, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
A ka mea, Aue, kia meatia tenei e ahau, e Ihowa: kia inu ahau i te toto o nga tangata i haere whakamomori nei ki te mate? Na kihai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua marohirohi tokotoru.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.
Na ko Apihai teina o Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira o te tokotoru. A i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa hoki ia i roto i te tokotoru.
19 Was he not most honourable of three? and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.
He teka ianei nona te kororia nui o te tokotoru? a meinga ana ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Na ko Penaia tama a Tehoiara, ko te tama a tetahi tangata marohirohi no Kapateere, he nui ana mahi toa, a i patua e ia nga tama tokorua a Ariare o Moapa: i haere ano hoki ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te wa o te hukarere:
21 He also smote the Egyptian, an imposing man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Nana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata pakari: na he tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana; otiia haere atu ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko tana, kapohia ana e ia te tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana, a patua ana ia e ia ki tana tao ano.
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
Na Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; a i whai ingoa ia i roto i nga marohirohi tokotoru.
23 He was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.
Nui ake tona kororia i to te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.
