1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nachash the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and his son became king in his stead.
Na i muri i tenei ka mate a Nahaha kingi o nga tama a Amona, a ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, because his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon to Chanun, to comfort him.
Na ka mea a Rawiri, Ka puta toku aroha ki a Hanunu tama a Nahaha; i puta hoki te aroha o tona papa ki ahau. Na ka unga e Rawiri etahi tangata ki te whakamarie i a ia mo tona papa. Na kua tae nga tangata a Rawiri ki te whenua o nga tama a Amona ki a Hanunu, ki te whakamarie i a ia.
3 And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee in order to search out, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Otiia ka mea nga rangatira o nga tama a Amona ki a Hanunu, Ki tou whakaaro he whakahonore na Rawiri i tou papa i tonoa mai ai e ia nga kaiwhakamarie ki a koe? he teka ianei he titiro, he whakangaro, he tutei i te whenua te mea i haere mai ai ana tangata ki a koe?
4 Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle as far as the hip-bone, and sent them away.
Heoi ka mau a Hanunu ki nga tangata a Rawiri, heua ana e ia, tapahia ana o ratou kakahu ki waenga, i te ritenga iho o o ratou papa, a tonoa atu ana ratou.
5 And some people went and told David concerning these men. And he sent [persons] to meet them: because the men were greatly ashamed; and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown, and then return.
Katahi ka haere etahi, ka korero ki a Rawiri i te meatanga ki aua tangata. Na ka tono tangata ia ki te whakatau i a ratou; he nui hoki te whakama o aua tangata. A ka mea te kingi, Hei Heriko koutou noho ai, kia tupu ra ano o koutou pahau, ko reir a hoki mai ai.
6 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, Chanun and the children of 'Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves from Mesopotamia, and from Syria-ma'achah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen.
A, no te kitenga o nga tama a Amona e piro ana ratou ki a Rawiri, ka hoatu e Hanunu ratou ko nga tama a Amona etahi taranata hiriwa kotahi mano kia kawea hei utu hariata, kaieke hoiho, i Mehopotamia, i Aramamaaka, i Topa.
7 And they hired for themselves thirty and two thousand [warriors in] chariots, and the king of Ma'achah and his people: and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of 'Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to the battle.
Heoi e toru tekau ma rua mano hariata i utua e ratou, me te kingi ano o Maaka ratou ko ana tangata; a haere mai ana ratou, noho ana ki mua i Merepa. Na ka huihui nga tama a Amona i o ratou pa, haere ana mai ki te whawhai.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army [and] the mighty men.
A, i te rongonga o Rawiri, ka tonoa e ia a Ioapa ratou ko te ope katoa, ara nga marohirohi.
9 And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
Na ka puta nga tama a Amona ki waho, a whakatakotoria ana o ratou ngohi ki te kuwaha o te pa. Na, ko nga kingi i haere nei, he mea motu ke ratou i te parae.
10 When now Joab saw that the front of battle was against him before and behind, he made a selection from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians.
A, no te kitenga o Ioapa e akina ana a mua, a muri ona e te hoariri, ka whiriwhiria e ia etahi i roto i te hunga whiriwhiri katoa o Iharaira, a whakaritea ana e ia hei tu i nga Hiriani:
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abshai his brother, and they arrayed themselves 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 ka whakatikaia ratou e ratou hei tu i nga tama a Amona.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of 'Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I help thee.
I mea ano ia, Ki te kaha nga Hiriani i ahau, me awhina mai ahau e koe; ki te kaha ia nga tama a Amona i a koe, na maku koe e awhina atu.
13 Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God, and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes.
Kia maia, kia whakatane tatou; me whakaaro ki to tatou iwi, ki nga pa o to tatou Atua, a ma Ihowa e mea te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro.
14 And Joab drew nigh and the people that were with him in front of the Syrians unto the battle, and they fled from before him.
Heoi, ko te whakatatanga o Ioapa ratou ko tona nuinga ki te whawhai ki nga Hiriani, na, rere ana ratou i tona aroaro.
15 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abshai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab went back to Jerusalem.
A, no te kitenga o nga tama a Amona kua rere nga Hiriani, na, ka rere ano ratou i te aroaro o tona teina, o Apihai, a haere ana ki roto ki te pa. Katahi ka haere a Ioapa ki Hiruharama.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
A, no te kitenga o nga Hiriani kua patua ratou e Iharaira, ka tono tangata a ka tikina atu nga Hiriani i tawahi o te awa: a ko Topaka rangatira o te ope a Hararetere ki mua i a ratou.
17 And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came up with them, and arrayed himself against them. So when David had arrayed himself against the Syrians [for] battle, they fought with him.
Na ka korerotia ki a Rawiri, a ka huihuia e ia a Iharaira katoa, a whiti ana ki tawahi o Horano, whakaekea ana e ia, whakatikaia ana e ia nga ngohi hei tu i a ratou. Na, ka oti nga ngohi te whakatika e Rawiri hei tu i nga Hiriani, ka whawhai rat ou ki a ia.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand men on foot, and Shophach the captain of the army he put to death.
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 mano, e wha tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro; i patua ano e ia a Topaka te rangatira ope.
19 And when the vassals of Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: and the Syrians would not help the children of 'Ammon any more.
A, i te kitenga o nga tangata a Hararetere kua mate ratou i a Iharaira, ka houhia e ratou te rongo ki a Rawiri, a ka meinga ratou te rongo ki a Rawiri, a ka meinga ratou hei tangata mana: kihai hoki nga Hiriani i pai ki te awhina i nga tama a Am ona i muri atu.
