1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was — years old when he began to reign; and two years he reigned over Israel.
E toru tekau nga tau o Haora ka kingi ia; a e rua ona tau e kingi ana mo Iharaira.
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmas and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeath-benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Na ka whiriwhiria e Haora etahi tangata o Iharaira mana, e toru mano. A o aua mano, e rua i a Haora i Mikimaha, i Maunga Peteere, kotahi mano i a Honatana i Kipea o Pineamine; ko te nuinga ia o te iwi i tonoa atu e ia ki tona teneti, ki tona tene ti.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the horn throughout all the land, saying: 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
Na ka patua e Honatana nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i Kepa, a rongo ana nga Pirihitini. Na ka whakatangihia te tetere e Haora puta noa i te whenua katoa, a ka mea, Kia rongo nga Hiperu.
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also had made himself odious with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa i te korero kua patua e Haora nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini, a kua whakahouhou hoki a Iharaira ki nga Pirihitini, na ka huihui te iwi ki te whai i a Haora ki Kirikara.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and pitched in Michmas, eastward of Beth-aven.
Me nga Pirihitini hoki, i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira, e toru tekau mano nga hariata, e ono mano nga hoia eke hoiho, me nga tangata e rite ana ki te onepu i te taha o te moana te tini. Na ka haere ratou, ka noho ki Mikimaha, whaka te rawhi ti o Peteawene.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait — for the people were distressed — then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
I te kitenga o nga tangata o Iharaira kei roto ratou i te raru, kua pawera hoki te iwi, na piri ana te iwi i roto i nga ana, i nga wahi ururua, i runga i nga kamaka, i nga taumaihi, i roto i nga rua.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Na tera etahi o nga Hiperu i whiti atu i Horano ki te whenua o Kara, o Kireara, Ko Haora ia, i Kirikara ano ia; a aru wehi ana te iwi katoa i a ia.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
A e whitu nga ra i tatari ai ia; ko te wa hoki ia i whakaritea e Hamuera; kahore ia a Hamuera i tae ki Kirikara; a marara noa atu tona nuinga.
9 And Saul said: 'Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings.' And he offered the burnt-offering.
Na ka mea a Haora, Kawea mai te tahunga tinana ki ahau, me nga whakahere mo te pai. Na whakaekea ana e ia te tahunga tinana.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
A ka oti tana tahunga tinana te whakaeke, na kua puta a Hamuera; a haere ana a Haora ki te whakatau i a ia, ki te oha ki a ia.
11 And Samuel said: 'What hast thou done?' And Saul said: 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together against Michmas;
Na ka mea a Hamuera, He mahi aha tau? Ano ra ko Haora, I kite hoki ahau kua marara noa atu toku nuinga, a kahore koe i tae mai i nga ra i whakaritea, heoi e huihui ana nga Pirihitini ki Mikimaha:
12 therefore said I: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.'
Koia ka mea ahau, Akuanei nga Pirihitini haere mai ai ki ahau ki Kirikara, a kahore ano ahau kia inoi ki a Ihowa. Na pehia ana e ahau toku ngakau, a whakaekea ana te tahunga tinana.
13 And Samuel said to Saul: 'Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which He commanded thee; for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Na ko te kianga a Hamuera ki a Haora, He mahi kuware tau; kihai nei i pupuri i te whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua i whakahau ai ia ki a koe: penei kua whakapumautia e Ihowa aianei tou kingitanga ki a Iharaira a ake ake.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue; the LORD hath sought him a man after His own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over His people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.'
Ko tenei, e kore e tu tou kingitanga: kua rapua e Ihowa tetahi tangata mana, ko ta tona ngakau i pai ai, kua oti ano ia te whakahau e Ihowa hei rangatira mo tana iwi; mou kihai i pupuri i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a koe.
15 And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal unto Gibeath-benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Na whakatika ana a Hamuera, a haere atu ana i Kirikara ki Kipea o Pineamine. A taua ana e Haora nga tangata i piri ki a ia; tata tonu aua tangata ki te ono rau.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeath-benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmas.
Na i Kepa o Pineamine a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana, me te hunga hoki i piri ki a raua: i Mikimaha ano nga Pirihitini e noho ana.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
Na ka puta nga kaipahua i te puni o nga Pirihitini, e toru nga ngohi: kotahi te ngohi i anga na te ara ki Opora, ki te whenua o Huara:
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Kotahi te ngohi i anga na te huarahi ki Petehorono: kotahi te ngohi i anga na te ara ki te rohe e aro nui ana ki te raorao o Tepoimi whaka te koraha.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said: 'Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears';
Na kahore he parakimete i kitea puta noa i te whenua katoa o Iharaira: i mea hoki nga Pirihitini, Kei hanga he hoari, he tao ranei, e nga Hiperu.
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
Haere ai a Iharaira katoa ki raro, ki nga Pirihitini ki te whakakoi i te hea, i te maripi o tana parau, i tana toki, i tana ko.
21 And the price of the filing was a pim for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks with three teeth, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
Otiia he whaiuru ano ta ratou mo nga hea, mo nga maripi o nga parau, mo nga marau, mo nga toki, hei oro ano hoki mo nga wero kau.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Heoi i te ra o te pakanga kahore i kitea he hoari, he tao i roto i te ringa o tetahi o nga tangata a Haora raua ko Honatana: otiia i kitea ano ki a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmas.
Na ka haere nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini ki te whakawhitinga atu o Mikimaha.
