Kings II 10
1 And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon 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 And David said, I will show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David 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 to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honor your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine 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 And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, 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 And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonored: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you shall 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 the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with 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 David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] 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 went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being 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 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
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 gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to 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 Syria be too strong for me, then shall you help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you.
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 you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
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 and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from 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 the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and 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 the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
A, i te kitenga o nga Hiriani kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka huihui ratou.
16 And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head.
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 it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle 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 Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he 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 all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid 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.
