< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
A, no ka rongo a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora kua mate a Apanere ki Heperona, na ngohe noa iho ona ringi, a raru ana a Iharaira katoa.
2 And Sauls sonne had two men that were captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
Na tokorua nga tangata a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora, he rangatira ngohi, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Paana, ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Rekapa, he tama na Rimono Peeroti, no nga tama a Pineamine; i kiia hoki a Peeroto no Pineamine.
3 Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day).
I rere hoki nga Peeroti ki Kitaima, a noho ana i reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
4 And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth.
Na he tama ta Honatana tama a Haora, he kopa ona waewae. E rima nga tau o tona whanautanga i te taenga mai o te rongo o Haora raua ko Honatana i Ietereere, na ka mau tona kaihiki ki a ia, a rere ana: a, i a ia e taika ana ki te rere, ka hinga ia, kopa tonu iho; ko Mepipohete tona ingoa.
5 And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who slept on a bed at noone)
Na ka haere nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, a Rekapa raua ko Paana, a haere ana i te mahanatanga o te ra ki te whare o Ihipohete, i a ia e okioki ana i te poutumarotanga.
6 And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
Na haere ana raua ki reira ki waenganui o te whare, me te mea he tiki witi mai ta raua; na patua iho ia ki te kopu, a rere ana a Rakapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana.
7 For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night.
I to raua haerenga hoki ki te whare, i te takoto tera i tona whare moenga; na patua ana ia e raua, whakamatea iho, na tangohia ana tona upoko, a mauria ana tona upoko. Na pau katoa taua po i a raua e haere ana na te ara o te mania.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King, Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede.
Na kawea ana e raua te upoko o Ihipohete ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea ki te kingi, Nana, te matenga o Ihipohete tama a Haora, o tou hoariri i whai nei kia whakamatea koe; na kua mea nei a Ihowa i toku ariki, i te kingi kia whai utu i tenei r a i a Haora ratou ko ona uri.
9 Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki ta Rekapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana, ki ta nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, ka mea ia ki a raua, E ora ana a Ihowa i whakaora nei i toku wairua i roto i nga he katoa,
10 When one tolde me, and sayde that Saul was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings) I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde for his tidings:
I te korerotanga mai a tetahi ki ahau, i te meatanga, Nana, kua mate a Haora, tohu noa ia he kaikawe mai ia i nga korero pai, hopukia ana ia e ahau, patua iho ki Tikiraka; ko te utu tera i hoatu e ahau mo tana korero.
11 How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
Tena ko tenei ka patu te hunga kino i te tangata tika i roto i tona whare, i runga ano i tona moenga, e kore ianei ahau e rapu i ona toto aianei i o korua ringa, e huna hoki i a korua i runga i te whenua?
12 Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron: but they tooke the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
Na whakahaua ana nga taitamariki e Rawiri, a patua ana raua e ratou, tapahia ana hoki o raua ringa me o raua waewae, whakairihia ake ki runga i te poka wai i Heperona. Ko te upoko ia o Ihipohete i tangohia, i tanumia ki te tanumanga o Apanere ki Heperona.
