< 1 Kings 20 >

1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram has gathered all his force, and thirty-two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goes up and lays siege against Samaria, and fights with it,
Na ka huihuia tana ope katoa e Peneharara kingi o Hiria; e toru tekau ma rua nga kingi ona hoa, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata: na haere ana ia, a whakapaea ana a Hamaria, tauria ana e ia.
2 and sends messengers to Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Na ka tonoa etahi karere e ia ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ki te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara,
3 and says to him, “Thus said Ben-Hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your sons—the best—are mine.”
Ko tau hiriwa, ko tau koura, naku ena: me au wahine, me au tamariki, nga mea papai, naku ena.
4 And the king of Israel answers and says, “According to your word, my lord, O king: I [am] yours, and all that I have.”
Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Rite tonu ki tau i mea na, e toku ariki, e te kingi: nau ahau me aku mea katoa.
5 And the messengers turn back and say, “Thus spoke Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent to you, saying, Your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your sons, you give to me;
Na ka hoki nga karere, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara, e ki ana, I tono tangata ano ahau ki a koe hei mea atu, Me homai e koe tau hiriwa, tau koura, au wahine, me au tamariki;
6 for if, at this time tomorrow, I send my servants to you, then they have searched your house, and the houses of your servants, and it has been [that] every desirable thing of your eyes they place in their hand, and have taken [them] away.”
Na kia penei apopo ka tonoa atu e ahau aku tangata ki a koe, ki te rapu i roto i tou whare, i nga whare ano o au tangata; na, ko nga mea katoa e minaminatia ana e ou kanohi, tera e tangohia mai i o ratou ringa, ka maua mai.
7 And the king of Israel calls to all [the] elderly of the land and says, “Please know and see that this [one] is seeking evil, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not withhold from him.”
Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua, a ka mea, Kia ata whakaaro koutou, kia kite kei te rapu tenei tangata i te kino: i tono tangata mai hoki ia ki ahau mo aku wahine, mo aku tamariki, mo taku hiriwa, a mo taku koura; a kihai i kaiponuhia e ahau ki a ia.
8 And all the elderly and all the people say to him, “Do not listen, nor consent.”
Na ka mea nga kaumatua katoa, ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a ia, Kaua e whakarongo, kaua e whakaae.
9 And he says to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, All that you sent to your servant for at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do”; and the messengers go and take him back word.
Katahi ia ka mea ki nga karere a Peneharara, Mea atu ki toku ariki, ki te kingi, Ko nga mea katoa i tono mai ai koe ki tau pononga i te tuatahi, ka meatia e ahau: ko tenei mea ia e kore e taea e ahau te mea. Na haere ana nga karere ki te whakahok i i te kupu.
10 And Ben-Hadad sends to him and says, “Thus the gods do to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.”
Na ka tono tangata ano a Peneharara, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e nga atua ki ahau, me era atu mea, ki te rato i te puehu o Hamaria nga ringa o te hunga katoa e whai ana i ahau.
11 And the king of Israel answers and says, “Speak: Do not let him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armor].”
Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ki atu ki a ia, Kaua te tangata e whitiki ana i tona pukupuku, e whakamanamana, e pera me te tangata e wewete ana.
12 And it comes to pass at the hearing of this word—and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the shelters—that he says to his servants, “Set yourselves”; and they set themselves against the city.
I te rongonga o Peneharara i tenei kupu, i a ia e inu ana, ratou ko nga kingi i roto i nga teneti, ka mea ia ki ana tangata, Whakatikaia a koutou ngohi. Na whakatikaia ana a ratou ngohi hei whawhai ki te pa.
13 And behold, a certain prophet has come near to Ahab king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Na, ka whakatata mai tetahi poropiti ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ka kite koe i tenei ope nui katoa? Nana, ka hoatu ratou e ahau aianei ki tou ringa, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
14 And Ahab says, “By whom?” And he says, “Thus said YHWH: By the young men of the heads of the provinces”; and he says, “Who directs the battle?” And he says, “You.”
A ka mea a Ahapa, Ma wai? Ano ra ko tera, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ma nga taitama o nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga. A ka mea ia, Ma wai e timata te whawhai? A ka mea tera, Mau.
15 And he inspects the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred and thirty-two, and after them he has mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel—seven thousand,
Na ka whakaemia e ia nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga, e rua rau e toru tekau ma rua ratou: i muri i a ratou i whakaemia ano e ia te iwi katoa, ara nga tama katoa a Iharaira, e whitu mano.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking—drunk in the shelters, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings helping him.
Na puta ana ratou i te poutumarotanga. Ko Peneharara ia i te inu i roto i nga teneti, a haurangi iho, a ia me nga kingi, ara ko nga kingi e toru tekau ma rua, ona whakauru.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sends, and they declare to him, saying, “Men have come out of Samaria.”
Na ka puta tuatahi ko nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga: na ka tono tangata a Peneharara; a ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, He tangata enei kua puta mai i Hamaria.
18 And he says, “If they have come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they have come out for battle, catch them alive.”
Ano ra ko tera, Ki te mea he hohou rongo i puta mai ai ratou, hopukia oratia: ki te mea ano he whawhai i puta mai ai, hopukia oratia.
19 And these have gone out of the city—the young men of the heads of the provinces—and the force that [is] after them,
Heoi puta ana enei ki waho o te pa, nga taitamariki o nga kawanatanga, me te ope i muri i a ratou.
20 and each strikes his man, and Aram flees, and Israel pursues them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapes on a horse—and the horsemen;
Na patua ana e ratou tana tangata, tana tangata; a rere ana nga Hiriani, whaia ana e Iharaira; ko Peneharara ia kingi o Hiria, i mawhiti i runga i te hioho, ratou ko nga kaieke hioho.
21 and the king of Israel goes out, and strikes the horses, and the charioteers, and has struck among the Arameans a great striking.
Na ka puta te kingi o Iharaira, a patua iho nga hoiho me nga hariata; heoi patua ana nga Hiriani, nui atu te parekura.
22 And the prophet comes near to the king of Israel and says to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and know and see that which you do, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against you.”
Na ka haere te poropiti ki te kingi o Iharaira, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere ki te whakakaha i a koe; kia mohio hoki, kia mahara ki tau e mea ai; ka taka hoki te tau, ka whakaekea koe e te kingi o Hiria.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods [are] gods of hills, therefore they were stronger than us; and yet, we fight with them in the plain—are we not stronger than they?
Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi o Hiria ki a ia, He atua maunga o ratou atua; koia ratou i kaha ai i a tatou; kia whawhai ia tatou ki a ratou i te mania, ka kaha tatou i a ratou.
24 And this thing you do: turn aside each of the kings out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
Na ko tenei tau e mea ai; whakawateatia atu nga kingi, tenei, tenei i tona wahi; a whakaritea etahi rangatira hei whakakapi mo ratou.
25 and you, number for yourself a force as the force that is fallen from you, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?” And he listens to their voice, and does so.
Na taua tetahi ope, kia rite ki tenei au kua hinga nei, he hoiho, he hoiho, he hariata, he hariata, a ka whawhai tatou ki a ratou ki te mania: tera tatou e kaha i a ratou. Na rongo tonu ia ki to ratou reo, a peratia ana e ia.
26 And it comes to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspects the Arameans, and goes up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
Na, i te takanga o te tau, ka whakaemia e Peneharara nga Hiriani, a haere ana ki Apeke ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Arameans have filled the land.
Na ka taua ano nga tama a Iharaira, a ka whai kai, a ka haere ki te tu i a ratou: a noho ana nga tama a Iharaira i to ratou ritenga atu, koia ano kei nga kahui iti e rua o nga kuao koati; ko nga Hiriani ia, kapi ana te whenua i a ratou.
28 And a man of God comes near, and speaks to the king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Because that the Arameans have said, YHWH [is] God of [the] hills, but He [is] not God of [the] valleys—I have given the whole of this great multitude into your hand, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Na ka haere te tangata a te Atua, a ka korero ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua mea nei nga Hiriani, He atua maunga a Ihowa, ehara ia i te atua raorao, na ka hoatu e ahau tenei ope nui katoa ki tou ringa, a ka mohio k outou ko Ihowa ahau.
29 And they encamp opposite one another [for] seven days, and it comes to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draws near, and the sons of Israel strike one hundred thousand footmen of Aram in one day.
Na noho ana ratou, tetahi, tetahi, anga atu, anga mai, e whitu nga ra. A i te whitu o nga ra ka pipiri ki te whawhai. Na patua iho o nga Hiriani e nga tama a Iharaira kotahi rau mano i taua ra kotahi.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, into the city, and the wall falls on twenty-seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad has fled, and comes into the city, into the innermost part.
Ko nga morehu ia i rere ki Apeke, ki roto ki te pa; a horo iho ana te taiepa ku runga ki nga mano e rua tekau ma whitu o nga morehu; ko Peneharara ia i rere, a haere ana ki roto ki te pa ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa.
31 And his servants say to him, “Now behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel—that they are kind kings; please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and we go out to the king of Israel; it may be he keeps you alive.”
Na ka mea ana tangata ki a ia, Nana, kua rongo matou he kingi tohu tangata nga kingi o te whare o Iharaira: tena, kia maka iho e matou he kakahu taratara ki o matou hope, me etahi taura ki o matou matenga, a kia haere atu ki te kingi o Iharaira: tera pea koe e whakaorangia e ia.
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come to the king of Israel, and say, “Your servant Ben-Hadad has said, Please let me live”; and he says, “Is he still alive? He [is] my brother.”
Heoi whitikiria ana e ratou he kakahu taratara ki o ratou hope, he taura hoki ki o ratou matenga; a ka haere ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, E mea ana tau pononga a Peneharara, Tena ra, kia ora ahau. A ka mea tera, Kei te ora ano ranei ia? ko to ku tuakana ia.
33 And the men observe diligently, and hurry, and catch [the word] from him, and say, “Your brother Ben-Hadad”; and he says, “Go in, bring him”; and Ben-Hadad comes out to him, and he causes him to come up on the chariot.
Na i ata whakarongo aua tangata ki tana, a hohoro tonu te hopu i tona whakaaro, a ka mea, Ko tou tuakana ra, a Peneharara. Ano ra ko ia, Haere koutou, tikina atu ia. Heoi ka puta mai a Peneharara ki a ia, a ka mea tera kia eke ia ki te hariata.
34 And he says to him, “The cities that my father took from your father, I give back, and you make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria; and I, with a covenant, send you away”; and he makes a covenant with him, and sends him away.
Na ka mea a Peneharara ki a ia, Ko nga pa i tangohia e toku papa i tou papa me whakahoki atu e ahau; a mau e hanga etahi huanui mau ki Ramahiku kia rite ki a toku papa i hanga ai ki Hamaria. Ano ra ko Ahapa, Me tuku koe e ahau i runga i tenei ka wenata. Na, whakaritea ana he kawenata e raua, a tukua ana ia.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of YHWH, “Please strike me”; and the man refuses to strike him,
Na ka mea tetahi tangata o nga tama a nga poropiti ki tona hoa, he mea ki na Ihowa, Tena, patua ahau. Heoi kihai taua tangata i pai ki te patu i a ia.
36 and he says to him, “Because that you have not listened to the voice of YHWH, behold, you are going from me, and the lion has struck you”; and he goes from him, and the lion finds him, and strikes him.
Katahi ka mea tera ki a ia, i te mea kihai koe i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, na, mawehe atu ana koe i konei, ka patua koe e te raiona. A, no te haerenga atu i tona taha, ka tutaki tetahi raiona ki a ia, patua iho.
37 And he finds another man and says, “Please strike me”; and the man strikes him, striking and wounding,
Katahi ka tutaki ia ki tetahi atu tangata, a ka mea, Tena, patua ahau. Na ka patu taua tangata i a ia, he patu i motu ai.
38 and the prophet goes and stands for the king on the way, and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes.
Heoi haere ana taua poropiti, a tu ana i te ara, he whanga i te kingi; i whakaahua ke hoki i a ia, ko tona tipare ki tona mata.
39 And it comes to pass—the king is passing by—that he has cried to the king and says, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man has turned aside and brings a man to me, and says, Keep this man; if he is at all missing, then your life has been for his life, or you weigh out a talent of silver;
A, i te kingi e haere ana, ka karanga ia ki te kingi, ka mea, I haere tau pononga ki waenganui o te whawhai: na ko te pekanga mai o tetahi tangata, kawea mai ana e ia tetahi tangata ki ahau, ka mea, Tiakina tenei tangata: ki te mea ka riro ia, k o koe ka mate hei ritenga mo tona matenga: me utu ranei e koe kia kotahi taranata hiriwa.
40 and it comes to pass, your servant is working here and there, and he is not!” And the king of Israel says to him, “Your judgment [is] right; you have determined [it].”
A, i tau pononga e mea noa ana i tenei mea, i tera mea, kua riro tera. Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Me pena te tikanga mou; kua tika mai na i a koe.
41 And he hurries and turns aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerns him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Na hohoro tonu te tango a tera i te tipare i ona kanohi, a ka mohio te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia ko tetahi o nga poropiti.
42 and he says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because you have sent away the man I devoted, out of [your] hand, even your life has been for his life, and your people for his people”;
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua tukua atu nei i roto i tou ringa taku tangata i tukua putia atu nei e ahau ki te mate; na ko tou matenga hei ritenga mo tona matenga, me tou iwi hei utu mo tona iwi.
43 and the king of Israel goes to his house, sulky and angry, and comes to Samaria.
Na pouri ana, riri ana, te kingi o Iharaira, a haere ana ki tona whare; tae tonu atu ki Hamaria.
