1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
A, i te takanga o te tau, i te wa e haere ai nga kingi ki te whawhai, na, ka arahina atu he taua maia e Ioapa; a huna iho e ratou te whenua o nga tama a Amona; haere ana, kei te whakapae i Rapa. Ko Rawiri ia i noho ki Hiruharama. Na ka patua a Ra pa e Ioapa, ngaro ana i a ia.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
Tangohia ana e Rawiri te karauna o to ratou kingi i tona matenga, a ko tona taimaha i kitea e ia, kotahi taranata koura, he kohatu utu nui ano o taua karauna; potaea iho ki te matenga o Rawiri. I whakaputaina ano e ia nga taonga o te pa, tona tin i.
3 And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Na, ko nga tangata i roto, whakaputaina ana e ia ki waho, poroporoa iho e ia ki te kani, ki te rakaraka rino, ki te toki. Ko ta Rawiri tenei i mea ai ki nga pa katoa o nga tama a Amona. Na hoki ana a Rawiri me te iwi katoa ki Hiruharama.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
A, i muri iho i tenei ka tupu te whakawhai ki nga Pirihitini ki Ketere: katahi ka patua e Hipekai Huhati a Hipai o nga tama a Rapa; na pehia ana ratou ki raro.
5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff [was] like a weaver’s beam.
A ka ara ano he whawhai ki nga Pirihitini; na ka patua e Erehanana, tama a Iaare, a Rahami teina o Koriata o Kata, ko te kakau o tana taoroa, rite tonu ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu.
6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot: ] and he also was the son of the giant.
Na i whawhai ano ki Kata, a i reira tetahi tangata roa, ko nga maihao o ona ringa me ona waewae e rua tekau ma wha, takiono ki ia ringa, a takiono ki ia waewae; a he uri ia no Rapa.
7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
I tana whakataranga i a Iharaira, patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himea tuakana o Rawiri.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
I whanau enei a Rapa ki Kata; a hinga ana i te ringa o Rawiri, i te ringa ano o ana tangata.
