2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said: 'It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death 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 said unto them — now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; and Saul sought to slay 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 unto the Gibeonites: 'What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?'
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 unto him: 'It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.' And he said: 'What say ye that I should 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 unto the king: 'The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, so that we have been destroyed from remaining in any of 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 delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.' And the king said: 'I will deliver 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 the LORD'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 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore 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 delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell all seven together; and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at 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 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air 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 broad place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew 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 the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for 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 war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines; and David waxed faint.
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 sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with new armour, thought to have slain 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 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto 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 war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
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 war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose 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 war at Gath, where was a champion, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
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 when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew 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 the giant 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.
