2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.
Na i muri iho i te matenga o Haora, i te mea kua hoki mai a Rawiri i te patunga i nga Amareki, a kua rua nga ra o Rawiri e noho ana ki Tikiraka:
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
I te toru o nga ra, na ko tetahi tangata e haere mai ana i te puni i a Haora, he mea haehae ona kakahu, he oneone i runga i tona matenga: a, no tona taenga mai ki a Rawiri, ka hinga ia ki te whenua, a ka piko.
3 And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea? Ka mea tera ki a ia, I mawhiti mai ahau i te puni o Iharaira.
4 And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, I pehea te mea ra? tena, korerotia mai ki ahau. Na ka mea ia, Kua whati te iwi i te whawhai, he tokomaha hoki o te iwi i hinga, i mate; kua mate hoki a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana.
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I mohiotia e koe ki te aha kua mate a Haora raua ko tana tama ko Honatana?
6 And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.
Na ka mea taua tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I tupono noa ahau ki runga i Maunga Kiripoa, na, ko Haora e okioki ana ki tana tao; na, e whai tata ana i a ia nga hariata me nga kaieke hoiho.
7 And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.
Na, i tona tahuritanga ki muri, ka kite i ahau, a ka karanga ki ahau. Na ka mea ahau, Tenei ahau.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.
Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, Ko wai koe? Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, He Amareki ahau.
9 And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Tena, e tu ki toku taha, whakamatea hoki ahau, kua mau pu hoki ahau i te pouri; no te mea kei te toitu tonu te ora i roto i ahau.
10 So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.
Heoi tu ana ahau ki tona taha, whakamatea ana ia e ahau; i mohio hoki ahau e kore rawa ia e ora ake i te mea ka hinga nei ia. Na tangohia ana e ahau te karauna i tona matenga, me te poroporo i tona ringa, a kawea mai ana e ahau ki konei ki toku ariki.
11 David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:
Katahi a Rawiri ka mau ki ona kakahu, a haehaea ana e ia; a i pera hoki ona hoa katoa:
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
Na ka uhunga ratou, ka tangi, ka nohopuku a ahiahi noa, mo Haora, mo tana tama, mo Honatana, mo te iwi ano a Ihowa, mo te whare hoki o Iharaira, i hinga nei i te hoari.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, No hea koe? Ano ra ko tera, He tama ahau na tetahi manene, na tetahi Amareki.
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, He aha koe te wehi ai? he aha i totoro ai tou ringa ki te huna i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
Katahi a Rawiri ka karanga ki tetahi o ana taitama, ka mea, Whakatata atu, e rere ki runga ki a ia. Na patua ana ia e ia, mate ake.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.
I mea ano a Rawiri ki a ia, Hei runga i tou matenga ou toto; kua whakaatu mai na hoki tou waha i tou he, kua mea, Naku i whakamate ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
Na ka waiatatia e Rawiri tenei apakura mo Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana:
18 And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.
I mea hoki ia kia whakaakona nga tama a Hura ki te waiata o te kopere: e mau na te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka a Iahera.
19 O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!
Tukitukia ana tou ataahua, e Iharaira, ki ou wahi teitei. Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi!
20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.
Kaua e korerotia ki Kata; kaua e kauwhautia ki nga huarahi o Ahakerono; kei koa nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, kei whakamanamana nga tamahine a te kokotikore.
21 O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.
E nga maunga o Kiripoa, kati rawa he tomairangi mo koutou, he ua, he mara e tukua ai te whakahere; i akiritia kinotia hoki ki reira te pukupuku o te marohirohi, te pukupuku o Haora, me te mea kihai i whakawahia ki te hinu.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.
He toto tena no te hunga i tu, he ngako tena no nga marohirohi, kahore he whakahokinga mai o te kopere a Honatana, kihai ano te hoari a Haora i hoki kau mai.
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.
Ko Haora, ko Honatana, he aroha, he whakaahuareka i to raua oranga; kihai hoki i wehea i to raua matenga; nui atu to raua tere i to nga ekara, to raua kaha i to nga raiona.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
E nga tamahine a Iharaira, tangihia a Haora, nana nei o koutou kakahu ngangana i huatau ai, nana nei i piri ai nga whakapaipai koura ki o koutou weruweru.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.
Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi i waenganui o te tatauranga! E Honatana, i werohia na i runga i ou wahi teitei.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.
Mamae ana ahau, he whakaaro ki a koe, e toku tuakana, e Honatana; nui atu toku whakaahuareka ki a koe: he hanga whakamiharo tou aroha ki ahau, nui atu i to nga wahine aroha.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi: ano te korenga o nga patu o te pakanga!
