2 Samuel 15
1 And it comes to pass afterward that Absalom prepares a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men are running before him;
Na, muri iho i tenei ka mea hariata a Apoharama mona, me etahi hoiho, me nga tangata e rima tekau hei rere i tona aroaro.
2 and Absalom has risen early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate, and it comes to pass, every man who has a pleading to come to the king for judgment, that Absalom calls to him and says, “Of what city [are] you?” And he says, “Your servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.”
Na ka maranga wawe a Apoharama, a ka tu ki te taha o te huarahi, ki te kuwaha, na ki te mea he take ta tetahi tangata e tika ana kia tae ki te kingi kia whakaritea, ka karanga a Apoharama ki a ia, ka mea, No tehea pa koe? A ka pea tera, No tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira tau pononga.
3 And Absalom says to him, “See, your matters [are] good and straightforward—and there is none listening to you from the king.”
Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a ia, Nana, he pai au korero, he tika; heoi kahore he tangata a te kingi hei whakarongo ki a koe.
4 And Absalom says, “Who makes me judge in the land, that every man who has a plea and judgment comes to me? Then I have declared him righteous.”
I mea ano a Apoharama, Aue, me i tu ahau hei kaiwhakarite mo te whenua, a ka tae mai ki ahau nga tangata katoa he take nei ta ratou, he whakawa, ina ka whakarite tika ahau ki a ia!
5 And it has come to pass, in the drawing near of anyone to bow himself to him, that he has put forth his hand, and laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him;
Na ka whakatata mai he tangata ka piko ki a ia, na ka totoro tona ringa ka hopu i a ia, ka kihi i a ia.
6 and Absalom does according to this thing to all Israel who come in for judgment to the king, and Absalom steals the heart of the men of Israel.
Penei tonu te mahi a Apoharama ki a Iharaira katoa, i haere mai ki te kingi kia whakaritea he whakawa; na tahaetia ana e Apoharama nga ngakau o nga tangata o Iharaira.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absalom says to the king, “Please let me go, and I complete my vow that I vowed to YHWH in Hebron,
Na, ka pau nga tau e wha, ka mea a Apoharama ki te kingi, Tukua ahau kia haere ki te whakamana i aku kupu taurangi, ki Heperona, i puaki ra i ahau ki a Ihowa.
8 for your servant has vowed a vow in my dwelling in Geshur, in Aram, saying, If YHWH certainly brings me back to Jerusalem, then I have served YHWH.”
I puaki hoki te kupu taurangi a tau pononga i ahau e noho ana i Kehuru i Hiria; i mea ahau, Ki te whakahokia ahau e Ihowa ki Hiruharama, katahi ahau ka mahi ki a Ihowa.
9 And the king says to him, “Go in peace”; and he rises and goes to Hebron,
Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Haere marie. Na whakatika ana ia, a haere ana ki Heperona.
10 and Absalom sends spies through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “At your hearing the voice of the horn, then you have said, Absalom has reigned in Hebron.”
Otiia ka tono tutei a Apoharama puta noa i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, hei mea, Rongo kau koutou i te tangi o te tetere, ko reira koutou ka mea, Ko Apoharama te kingi kei Heperona.
11 And two hundred men have gone with Absalom out of Jerusalem, invited ones, and they are going in their simplicity, and have not known anything;
E rua rau ano nga tangata i haere tahi i a Apoharama i Hiruharama, he hunga i karangatia: otiia he haere noa ta ratou, kihai hoki i mohio ki tetahi mea.
12 and Absalom sends Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, out of his city, out of Gilo, in his sacrificing sacrifices; and the conspiracy is strong, and the people are going and increasing with Absalom.
I tikina ano e Apoharama a Ahitopere Kironi, te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro a Rawiri i tona pa i Kiroho, i a ia ano e patu ana i nga patunga tapu. Na kua kaha te whakapiko; i tini haere hoki nga tangata a Apoharama.
13 And he who is declaring tidings comes to David, saying, “The heart of the men of Israel has been after Absalom.”
Na ko te taenga o tetahi kaikorero ki a Rawiri, ko tana kupu, Kei te whai i a Apoharama nga ngakau o nga tangata o Iharaira.
14 And David says to all his servants who [are] with him in Jerusalem, “Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the face of Absalom; hurry to go, lest he hurries, and has overtaken us, and forced evil on us, and struck the city by the mouth of the sword.”
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata katoa i tona taha i Hiruharama, Whakatika, ka rere tatou; kei kore hoki he mawhititanga atu mo tetahi o tatou i te aroaro o Apoharama: hohoro te haere, kei hohoro mai ia, a ka mau tatou; na ka akina mai e ia he kino ki a tatou, a ka tukitukia te pa ki te mata o te hoari.
15 And the servants of the king say to the king, “According to all that my lord the king chooses—behold, your servants do.”
Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi ki te kingi, Tenei au pononga hei mea i nga mea katoa e whakarite ai toku ariki, te kingi.
16 And the king goes out, and all his household at his feet, and the king leaves ten women—concubines—to keep the house.
Na haere ana te kingi me tona whare katoa i muri i a ia. Na i mahue i te kingi tekau nga wahine, he wahine iti nana, hei tiaki i te whare.
17 And the king goes out, and all the people at his feet, and they stand still at the farthest off house.
A haere ana te kingi ratou ko te iwi katoa i muri i a ia, a whanga ana i Petemerehaka.
18 And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on at the front of the king.
I haere atu ano ana tangata katoa i tona taha; i haere atu ano hoki i mua i te kingi, nga Kereti katoa, nga Pereti katoa, me nga Kiti katoa; nga rau e ono i whai mai nei i a ia i Kata.
19 And the king says to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you go—you also—with us? Return and abide with the king, for you [are] a stranger, and also an exile, you—to your place.
Na ka mea te kingi ki a Itai Kiti, He aha koe i haere mai ai i a matou? hoki atu, e noho i te kingi: he tangata ke hoki koe, he noho ke i tou whenua.
20 Your coming in [was only] yesterday, and should I move you to go with us today, since I am going over [to] where [I do not know where] I am going? Return, and take your brothers back. Kindness and truth [be] with you.”
Nonanahi noa nei koe i tae mai ai, a kia mea ahau i a koe i tenei ra kia kopikopiko noa iho i a matou, i taku haere noa atu? Hoki atu, whakahokia ano ou teina; kia whai tahi te pono me te aroha i a koe.
21 And Ittai answers the king and says, “YHWH lives, and my lord the king lives, surely in the place where my lord the king is—if for death, if for life, surely your servant is there.”
Na ka whakahoki a Itai ki te kingi, ka mea, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki toku ariki te kingi, na, ko te wahi e noho ai toku ariki, te kingi, ahakoa i te mate, ahakoa i te ora, ko reira ano tau pononga.
22 And David says to Ittai, “Go and pass over”; and Ittai the Gittite passes over, and all his men, and all the infants who [are] with him.
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Itai, Hoatu, whiti atu. Na whiti ana a Itai Kiti, ratou ko ana tangata katoa me nga tamariki katoa i a ia.
23 And all the land is weeping [with] a great voice, and all the people are passing over; and the king is passing over through the Brook of Kidron, and all the people are passing over on the front of the way of the wilderness;
Nui atu hoki te reo i tangi ai te whenua katoa, a ka whiti atu te iwi katoa; i whiti atu hoki te kingi i te awaawa o Kitirono, a i whiti atu ano te iwi katoa i te huarahi e tika ana ki te koraha.
24 and behold, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, are carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God, and they make the Ark of God firm, and Abiathar goes up, until the completion of all the people to pass over out of the city.
Ko Haroko ano tera, me nga Riwaiti katoa e amo ana i te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua: na ka whakatakotoria te aaka a te Atua; na ka piki a Apiatara, a poto noa te iwi katoa te whiti atu i roto i te pa.
25 And the king says to Zadok, “Take back the Ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of YHWH, then He has brought me back, and shown me it and His habitation;
Na ka mea te kingi ki a Haroko, Whakahokia te aaka a te Atua ki te pa: ki te manakohia ahau e Ihowa, ka whakahokia ahau, a ka whakakitea taua aaka me tona nohoanga ki ahau.
26 and if thus He says, I have not delighted in you; here I [am], He does to me as [is] good in His eyes.”
A ki te mea ia ki ahau, Kahore ahau e pai ki a koe; tenei ahau, mana e mea ki ahau te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro.
27 And the king says to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;
I mea ano te kingi ki a Haroko tohunga, Ehara ianei koe i te matakite? hoki marie ki te pa, koutou ko a korua tama tokorua, ara tau tama a Ahimaata, me Honatana tama a Apiatara.
28 see, I am lingering in the plains of the wilderness until the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.”
Nana, me tatari ahau ki nga kauanga i te koraha, kia tae ake ra ano he korero i a korua hei whakaatu tikanga ki ahau.
29 And Zadok takes back—and Abiathar—the Ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.
Na whakahokia ana te aaka a te Atua e Haroko raua ko Apiatara ki Hiruharama, a noho ana raua i reira.
30 And David is going up in the ascent of the [Mount of] Olives, going up and weeping, and he has the head covered, and he is going barefooted, and all the people who [are] with him have each covered his head, and have gone up, going up and weeping;
Na piki atu ana a Rawiri i te pikitanga o Maunga Oriwa, me te tangi, me te piki haere; hipoki rawa tona matenga, kahore hoki ona hu i a ia e haere ana: na, ko nga tangata katoa i a ia, hipoki rawa te matenga o tenei, o tenei; heoi piki ana ratou, me te tangi ano i a ratou e piki ana.
31 and David declared, saying, “Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom”; and David says, “Please make the counsel of Ahithophel foolish, O YHWH.”
Na ka korero tetahi ki a Rawiri, ka mea, Kei roto a Ahitopere i nga kaiwhakatupu i te he, kei a Apoharama. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Tena ra, e Ihowa, whakakuwaretia nga whakaaro o Ahitopere.
32 And it comes to pass, David has come to the top, where he bows himself to God, and behold, Hushai the Archite [is there] to meet him, [with] his coat torn, and earth on his head;
A, no te ekenga o Rawiri ki te tihi, ki te wahi e koropiko ai ki te Atua, na, ko Huhai Araki ka whakatau i a ia, he mea haehae tona kakahu, me te oneone i runga i tona matenga.
33 and David says to him, “If you have passed on with me then you have been for a burden on me,
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, Ki te haere tahi tatou, hei whakaware kau koe ki ahau:
34 and if you return to the city and have said to Absalom, I am your servant, O king; I [am] also servant of your father until now, and presently, I [am] also your servant; then you have made void the counsel of Ahithophel for me;
Engari ki te hoki koe ki te pa, a ka mea ki a Apoharama, Hei pononga ahau mau, e te kingi, he pononga ahau na tou papa i mua, inaianei hei pononga ahau mau: penei mau e whakataka te whakaaro o Ahitopere moku.
35 and are Zadok and Abiathar the priests not with you there? And it has been, the whole of the matter that you hear from the house of the king you declare to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.
Kahore ianei i reira hei hoa mou a Haroko raua ko Apiatara nga tohunga? na, ko nga mea katoa e rongo ai koe ki te whare o te kingi, mau e whakaatu ki nga tohunga, ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara.
36 Behold, their two sons [are] there with them: Ahimaaz to Zadok, and Jonathan to Abiathar, and you have sent to me by their hand anything that you hear.”
Na kei reira, kei a raua tonu a raua tama tokorua, a Ahimaata, ta Haroko, a Honatana, ta Apiatara; me unga hei kawe mai ki ahau i nga mea katoa e rongo ai koutou.
37 And Hushai, David’s friend, comes to the city, and Absalom comes to Jerusalem.
Na haere ana a Huhai, te hoa o Rawiri ki te pa, a ka tae hoki a Apoharama ki Hiruharama.
