1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites come to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?”
Na ka haere nga Tiwhi ki a Haora ki Kipea, ka mea, He teka ianei kei te piri a Rawiri ki Maunga Hakira, ki te wahi e anga ana ki Hehimono?
2 And Saul rises, and goes down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [are] three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Katahi a Haora ka whakatika, a haere ana ki raro, ki te koraha o Tiwhi, e toru hoki mano ana tangata, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira, ki te rapu i a Rawiri i te koraha o Tiwhi.
3 And Saul encamps in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he sees that Saul has come into the wilderness after him;
A i noho a Haora ki Maunga Hakira, ki tera e anga ana ki Hehimono, ki te huarahi: ko Rawiri ia i noho ki te koraha; a ka kite ia kua tae atu a Haora ki te koraha ki te whai i a ia,
4 and David sends spies, and knows that Saul has come to Nachon,
Na tonoa ana etahi tutei e Rawiri, a ka mohio ia he tino tika te haerenga mai o Haora.
5 and David rises, and comes to the place where Saul has encamped, and David sees the place where Saul has lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping around him.
Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a ka haere ki te wahi i puni ai a Haora: na ka titiro a Rawiri ki te takotoranga o Haora raua ko Apanere tama a Nere, ko te rangatira o tana ope; na kei te takoto a Haora i te parepare, i tetahi taha ano hoki ona, i teta hi taha, te puninga o te iwi.
6 And David answers and says to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who goes down with me to Saul, to the camp?” And Abishai says, “I go down with you.”
Na ka oho a Rawiri ki a Ahimereke Hiti raua ko Apihai tama a Teruia, ko te teina o Ioapa, ka mea, Ko wai e haere hei hoa moku ki raro, ki a Haora, ki te puni ra? Ka mea a Apihai, Ko taua e haere.
7 And David comes—and Abishai—by night to the people, and behold, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear is pressed into the earth by his pillow, and Abner and the people are lying around him.
Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri raua ko Apihai ki te iwi i te po: na kei te takoto tera a Haora i te parepare me tana tao pou rawa ki te whenua i te taha o tona urunga: i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha ko Apanere hoki ratou ko te iwi e takoto ana.
8 And Abishai says to David, “God has shut up your enemy into your hand today; and now, please let me strike him with [the] spear, even into the earth, at once—and not repeat [it] to him.”
Katahi a Apihai ka mea ki a Rawiri, Kua tukua putia e te Atua tou hoariri inaianei ki tou ringa: na kia kotahi taku werohanga i a ia aianei ki te tao, titi pu ki te whenua; e kore ano e tuaruatia.
9 And David says to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who has put forth his hand against the anointed of YHWH and been acquitted?”
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Apihai, Kaua ia e whakangaromia: ko wai hoki e harakore ki te totoro tona ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?
10 And David says, “YHWH lives; except YHWH strikes him, or his day comes that he has died, or he goes down into battle and has been consumed—
I mea ano a Rawiri, E ora ana a Ihowa, ma Ihowa ia e patu; tera e tae mai tona ra e mate ai; ka uru ranei ia ki te whawhai a ka ngaro.
11 far be it from me, by YHWH, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH; and now, please take the spear which [is] by his pillow, and the jug of water, and we go away.”
Ma Ihowa e arai kei totoro toku ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai. Engari tangohia te tao i tona urunga, me te ipu wai, a kia haere taua.
12 And David takes the spear, and the jug of water by the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] YHWH has fallen on them.
Heoi tangohia ana e Rawiri te tao me te ipu wai i te urunga o Haora; a haere ana raua; kihai hoki tetahi i kite, kihai i mohio, kihai hoki i oho: i te moe katoa hoki ratou; na Ihowa hoki i mea kia au ta ratou moe.
13 And David passes over to the other side, and stands on the top of the hill far off—great [is] the place between them;
Katahi a Rawiri ka haere ki tera taha, a tu ana i runga i te tihi o tetahi puke i tawhiti; he nui te takiwa atu ki a ratou.
14 and David calls to the people, and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answers and says, “Who [are] you [who] have called to the king?”
Na ka karanga a Rawiri ki te iwi, ki a Apanere hoki tama a Nere, ka mea, E kore ranei koe e o mai e Apanere? Katahi ka whakahokia e Apanere, Ko wai koe e karanga mai na ki te kingi?
15 And David says to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? But why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people had come in to destroy the king, your lord.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apanere, He teka ianei he toa koe, ko wai hoki hei rite mou i roto i a Iharaira? He aha koe te tiaki ai i tou ariki, i te kingi? I haere atu hoki tetahi o te iwi ki te whakangaro i te kingi, i tou ariki.
16 This thing which you have done is not good; YHWH lives, but you [are] sons of death, in that you have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of YHWH; and now, see where the king’s spear [is], and the jug of water which [is] by his pillow.”
Ehara tenei i te mea pai i meatia nei e koe. E ora ana a Ihowa, ka tika te mate mo koutou, kihai hoki i tiaki i to koutou ariki, i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai. Na, tirohia kei hea te tao a te kingi, me te ipu wai i tona urunga?
17 And Saul discerns the voice of David and says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David says, “My voice, my lord, O king!”
Na kua mohio a Haora ki te reo o Rawiri, a ka mea, Nou tena reo, e taku tama, e Rawiri? Ano ra ko Rawiri, Noku te reo, e toku ariki, e te kingi.
18 And he says, “Why [is] this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? For what have I done, and what evil [is] in my hand?
I mea ano ia, Na te aha tenei whai a toku ariki i tana pononga, i aha hoki ahau? he aha hoki te he o toku ringa?
19 And now, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if YHWH has moved you against me, let Him accept a present; but if [merely] the sons of men, they [are] cursed before YHWH, for today they have cast me out from being admitted into the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Tena ra, kia rongo mai toku ariki te kingi ki nga kupu a tana pononga, Ki te mea na Ihowa koe i whakaoho kia tahuri mai ki ahau, kia manako mai ia ki te whakahere: tena ko tenei, na nga tama a te tangata, kia kanga ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa; mo ratou i pei nei i ahau kei tata ki to Ihowa wahi tupu, mo te ki mai, Haere, e mahi ki nga atua ke.
20 And now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH, for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursues the partridge in mountains.”
Tena ra, kaua oku toto e maringi ki te whenua i tawhiti atu i te aroaro o Ihowa: i haere mai hoki te kingi o Iharaira ki te rapu i tetahi puruhi, me te mea ko tetahi e whai ana i te patiri i runga i nga maunga.
21 And Saul says, “I have sinned; return, my son David, for I do evil to you no more, because that my soul has been precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have acted foolishly, and err very greatly.”
Na ka mea a Haora, Kua hara ahau; hoki atu, e taku tama, e Rawiri; e kore hoki ahau e mahi i te kino ki a koe a muri ake nei, no te mea he taonga nui ki tou whakaaro toku wairua inaianei. Nana, he mahi kuware taku, nui atu toku he.
22 And David answers and says, “Behold, the king’s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;
Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri, ka mea, Nana, te tao nei, e te kingi! tukua mai nei tetahi o nga taitamariki kia haere mai ki te tiki.
23 and YHWH turns each back to his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that YHWH has given you into [my] hand today, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH,
A ma Ihowa e hoatu ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata tona tika me tona pono: kua homai nei hoki koe e Ihowa i tenei ra ki toku ringa, a kihai ahau i pai kia totoro toku ringa ki ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai.
24 and behold, as your soul has been great in my eyes this day, so is my soul great in the eyes of YHWH, and He delivers me out of all distress.”
Nana, kua nui nei tou ora ki taku tirohanga atu i tenei ra, kia pera ano hoki te nui o toku ora ki ta Ihowa titiro, a kia whakaorangia ahau e ia i nga mate katoa.
25 And Saul says to David, “Blessed [are] you, my son David, also working you work, and also prevailing you prevail.” And David goes on his way, and Saul has turned back to his place.
Katahi a Haora ka mea ki a Rawiri, Kia manaakitia koe, e taku tama, e Rawiri: ka oti ra i a koe nga mahi nunui, a he pono ka puta tou mana. Heoi haere ana a Rawiri i tona huarahi; a hoki ana a Haora ki tona wahi.
