2 Samuel 21
1 And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
Na ka pa he matekai i nga ra o Rawiri, e toru nga tau, ko to tetahi tau aki tonu iho ki to tetahi tau; a ka rapua te tikanga e Rawiri i te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ka mea a Ihowa, Mo ta Haora ratou ko tona whare hutoto; mona i whakamate i nga Kipeoni.
2 And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
Katahi te kingi ka karanga ki nga Kipeoni, a ka korero ki a ratou: na ehara nga Kipeoni i nga tama a Iharaira; engari no nga morehu o nga Amori, no era i oati ra nga tama a Iharaira: na whaia ana e Haora kia patua, he hae nona, he whakaaro hoki k i nga tama a Iharaira ratou ko Hura:
3 indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki nga Kipeoni, Ko te aha taku e mea ai ki a koutou? he aha hoki taku whakamarie e manaakitia ai e koutou te kainga tupu o Ihowa?
4 And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
Na ka mea nga Kipeoni ki a ia, Ehara i te koura i te hiriwa ranei te mea kei waenganui i a matou me Haora ratou ko tona whare; kahore hoki a matou mea ki tetahi tangata o Iharaira kia mate. Ano ra ko ia, Ka meatia e ahau ta koutou e ki mai ai.
5 And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel—
Katahi ratou ka mea ki te kingi, Ko te tangata i whakamoti nei i a matou, i whakatakoto whakaaro nei mo matou kia ngaro, kei waiho ki tetahi o nga rohe o Iharaira.
6 let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
Kia tokowhitu nga tangata o ona tama e homai ki a matou, a ma matou ratou e tarona, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki Kipea o Haora, o ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai. Na ka mea te kingi, Ka hoatu e ahau.
7 and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
Otiia i tohungia e te kingi a Mepipohete tama a Honatana tama a Haorohe whakaaro ki te oati a Ihowa i takoto i a raua, i a Rawiri raua ko Honatana tama a Haora.
8 and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
Engari i mau te kingi ki nga tama tokorua a Rihipa tamahine a Aia i whanau nei i a raua ko Haora, ara ki a Aramoni raua ko Mepipohete; ki nga tama tokorima hoki a Merapa tamahine a Haora i whanau i a raua ko Atariere tama a Paratirai Mehorati:
9 and gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
A hoatu ana e ia ki nga ringa o nga Kipeoni, a taronatia ana e ratou ki te maunga, i te aroaro o Ihowa: na hinga ngatahi ana to ratou tokowhitu katoa. No nga ra o te kotinga ratou i whakamatea ai, no nga ra tuatahi, i te timatanga o te kotinga pa rei.
10 And Rizpah daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
Na ka mau a Rihipa tamahine a Aia ki te kakahu taratara, a wharikitia ana hei mea mona ki runga ki te kamaka, i te timatanga o te kotinga, heke noa he wai i te rangi ki runga ki a ratou; kihai hoki i tukua e ia he manu o te rangi kia noho ki run ga i te awatea, he kirehe ranei o te parae i to po.
11 And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has done,
A i korerotia ki a Rawiri taua meatanga a Rihipa tamahine a Aia, wahine iti a Haora.
12 and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
Na ka haere a Rawiri, ka tikina nga whenua o Haora, nga wheua o Honatana, o tana tama, i nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara, na ratou nei hoki aua wheua i tango puku i te waharoa o Petehana i te wahi i whakairihia ai e nga Pirihitini i te ra i patua a i a Haora e nga Pirihitini ki Kiripoa.
13 and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
A kawea ana e ia i reira nga wheua o Haora, me nga wheua o Honatana, o tana tama: i kohia ano e ratou nga wheua o te hunga i whakatarea.
14 and bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
A tanumia ana nga wheua o Haora raua ko Honatana, ko tana tama, ki te whenua o Pineamine ki Heraha ki te urupa o Kihi, o tona papa: a ka oti i a ratou nga mea katoa i whakahaua e te kingi, na muri iho ka marie mai te Atua ki te whenua.
15 And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
Na ka whawhai ano nga Pirihitini ratou ko Iharaira, a haere ana a Rawiri ki raro, ratou ko ana tangata, whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini: na ka ruha haere a Rawiri.
16 and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking David,
Na ko Ihipipenopo, no nga uri o Rapa, ko te taimaha o tana tao, e toru rau hekere parahi te taimaha, he mea hou te hoari, whitiki rawa ki a ia; ka mea ia kia patua a Rawiri.
17 and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
Na pikitia ana ia e Apihai tama a Teruia, a patua iho e ia te Pirihitini, whakamatea iho. Na reira i oati ai nga tangata a Rawiri ki a ia, i mea ai, Kati rawa tou haere tahi tatou ki te whawhai, kei keto i a koe te rama o Iharaira.
18 And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
A muri iho i tenei ka whawhai ano ki nga Pirihitini ki Kopo, a na Hipekai Huhati i patu a Hapa, no nga uri o Rapa.
19 And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
Na ka whawhaitia ano nga Pirihitini ki Kopo, a na Erehanana tama a Iaareorekimi o Peterehema i patu te teina o Koriata Kiti, ko te kakau o tana taoroa rite tonu ki te kurupae a te kaiwhatu.
20 And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
A i whawhai ano ki Kata. Na ko tetahi tangata roa e ono nei nga maihao o tetahi ringa, o tetahi ringa, e ono ano hoki nga maikara o tetahi waewae, o tetahi waewae, e rua tekau ma wha katoa te maha, he uri ano no Rapa.
21 and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
I tana whakataranga i a Iharira, na patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himei tuakana o Rawiri.
22 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
He uri enei tokowha no Rapa i Kata, a hinga ana i te ringa o Rawiri, i te ringa hoki o ana tangata.
