2 Samuel 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Na i muri i tenei ka mate te kingi o nga tamariki a Amona, a ko Hanunu, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Na ka mea a Rawiri, ka puta toku aroha ki a Hanunu tama a Nahaha, ka rite ki te aroha o tona papa i puta ra ki ahau. Na tonoa ana e Rawiri ana tangata hei kawe i tana whakamarie ki a ia mo tona papa. Na ka tae nga tangata a Rawiri ki te whenua o nga tama a Amona.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
Na ka mea nga rangatira o nga tamariki a Amona ki a Hanunu, ki to ratou ariki, Ki tou whakaaro he whakahonore na Rawiri i tou papa i tonoa mai e ia nga kaiwhakamarie ki a koe? he teka ianei he titiro i te pa, he tutei, he whakangaro te mea i tono a mai ai e Rawiri ana tangata ki a koe?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Heoi ka mau a Hanunu ki nga tangata a Rawiri, a heua ana e ia tetahi taha o o ratou pahau, tapahia ana o ratou kakahu ki waenga a tae noa ki o ratou papa, a tonoa atu ana ratou.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
A, no te korerotanga o taua mea ki a Rawiri, ka tono tangata ia ki te whakatau i a ratou; he nui hoki te whakama o aua tangata; i mea ano te kingi, Hei Heriko noho ai, kia tupu ra ano o koutou pahau, ka hoki mai ai.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth–rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish–tob twelve thousand men.
A, no te kitenga o nga tamariki a Amona e whakahouhou ana ratou ki a Rawiri, ka tono tangata nga tamariki a Amona hei utu i nga Hiriani o Peterehopo, i nga Hiriani ano o Topa, e rua tekau mano, he hunga haere i raro, i te kingi ano o Maaka, kotah i mano tangata, i to Ihitopo, kotahi tekau ma rua mano tangata.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
A, no te rongonga o Rawiri, ka tonoa e ia a Ioapa me te ope katoa o nga marohirohi.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish–tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Na ka puta nga tama a Amona ki waho, a whakatakotoria ana a ratou ngohi ki te tomokanga atu o te kuwaha; a ko nga Hiriani o Topa, o Rehopo, me o Ihitopo, o Maaka, ko ratou anake i te parae.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
Na, i te kitenga o Ioapa e akina ana a mua, a muri, ona e te hoariri, ka whiriwhiria e ia etahi o nga tino tangata katoa o Iharaira, a whakaritea ana e ia hei tu ki nga Hiriani:
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
Ko te nuinga atu hoki o te iwi i tukua e ia ki te ringa o Apihai, o tona teina, a whakatikaia ana e tera hei tu ki nga tama a Amona.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
I mea ano ia, Ki te kaha atu nga Hiriani i ahau, na me haere atu ahau ki te awhina i a koe.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: And Yhwh do that which seemeth him good.
Kia maia, kia whakatangata hoki tatou mo to tatou iwi, mo nga pa hoki o to tatou Atua: a ma Ihowa e mea te mea i pai ki a ia.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Na ka whakatata atu a Ioapa ratou ko tona nuinga ki te whawhai ki nga Hiriani, a rere ana ratou i tona aroaro.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
A, no te kitenga o nga tama a Amona kua rere nga Hiriani, ka rere ano ratou i te aroaro o Apihai, a haere ana ki te pa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa i nga tama a Amona, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
A, i te kitenga o nga Hiriani kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka huihui ratou.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadarezer went before them.
A ka tono tangata a Hararetere ki te tiki i nga Hiriani i tawahi o te awa: a haere mai ana ratou ki Herama, ko Kopaka hoki, ko te rangatira o te ope a Hararetere ki mua i a ratou.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
A ka korerotia ki a Rawiri; a ka huihuia e ia a Iharaira katoa, a whiti ana ki tera taha o Horano haere ana ki Herama. Na ka whakatikaia e nga Hiriani o ratou ngohi hei tu i a Rawiri, a ka whawhai ki a ia.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their army, who died there.
Na ka rere nga Hiriani i te aroaro o Iharaira; a patua iho o nga Hiriani e Rawiri nga tangata o nga hariata e whitu rau, e wha tekau mano ano nga hoia eke hoiho; i patua ano e ia a Hopaka, te rangatira o to ratou ope, a mate iho ia ki reira.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
A, no ka kite nga kingi katoa, nga apa o Hararetere, kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka houhia e ratou te rongo ki a Iharaira, a ka meinga hei apa mo ratou. Heoi wehi ana nga Hiriani, a mutu ake ta ratou awhina i nga tama a Amona.
