1 Kings 20
1 Ben Hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against 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 He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, "Thus says Ben Hadad,
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 'Your silver and your gold is mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.'"
Ko tau hiriwa, ko tau koura, naku ena: me au wahine, me au tamariki, nga mea papai, naku ena.
4 The king of Israel answered, "It is according to your saying, 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 The messengers came again, and said, "Ben Hadad says, 'I sent indeed to you, saying, "You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
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 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in their eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it 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 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny 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 All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen, neither consent."
Na ka mea nga kaumatua katoa, ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a ia, Kaua e whakarongo, kaua e whakaae.
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.'" The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.
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 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."
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 The king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.'"
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 It happened, when Ben Hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, "Prepare to attack." They prepared to attack 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 Look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
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 Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'By the young men of the governors of the districts.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "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 Then he mustered the young men of the governors of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being 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 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped 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 the young men of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out from 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 He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take 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 So these went out of the city, the young men of the governors of the districts, and the army which followed them.
Heoi puta ana enei ki waho o te pa, nga taitamariki o nga kawanatanga, me te ope i muri i a ratou.
20 They each killed his man. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with 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 The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
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 The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come 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 The servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be 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 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
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 Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than them." He listened to their voice, and did 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 It happened at the return of the year, that Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against 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 The children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them. The children of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Arameans filled the country.
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 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Because the Arameans have said, "Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys"; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
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 They camped one over against the other seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Arameans 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 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
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 His servants said to him, "See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life."
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 So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" He said, "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 Now the men were looking for an omen, and they seized upon it from him, and they said, "Ben Hadad is your brother." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben Hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into 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 Ben Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." "I," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
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 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of Jehovah, "Please strike me." The man refused 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 Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, look, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall kill you." As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed 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 Then he found another man, and said, "Please strike me." The man struck him, smiting and wounding him.
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 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over 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 As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, 'Guard this man. If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay 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 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So your judgment shall be; you yourself have decided 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 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was 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 He said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go 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 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
Na pouri ana, riri ana, te kingi o Iharaira, a haere ana ki tona whare; tae tonu atu ki Hamaria.
