2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man whom God raised up, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Na ko nga kupu whakamutunga enei a Rawiri. He kupu tenei na Rawiri tama a Hehe, he kupu hoki na te tangata i whakarewaina ki runga, na ta te Atua o Hakopa i whakawahi ai, na te kaihimene ahuareka o Iharira;
2 "The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
He kaiwhakapuaki ahau i te kupu a te wairua o Ihowa: kei toku arero tana korero.
3 The God of Jacob said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
I korero te Atua o Iharaira, i mea te Kamaka o Iharaira ki ahau: Ko ia te kaiwhakatakoto tikanga mo nga tangata, e whakatakoto tikanga ana i runga i te wehi ki a Ihowa,
4 shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.'
Ka rite ia ki te marama o te ata ina whiti te ra, o te ata kahore nei he kapua; ki te tarutaru tupu hou e pihi ake ana i te whenua i te mea ka whiti te ra i te maonga o te ua.
5 Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he doesn't make it grow.
He pono ehara toku whare i te pena i te aroaro o te Atua; heoi kua takoto tana kawenata u tonu ki ahau, rite rawa nga aha katoa, mau rawa: no te mea ko toku whakaoranga katoa tenei, ko taku hoki e whakaahuareka ai, ahakoa kahore e meinga ana e ia kia tupu.
6 But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
Ko te hunga atuakore ia ka rite katoa ki te tataramoa e aia atu ana, e kore nei e hopukia atu e te ringa:
7 But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place."
Engari ko te tangata e whakapa atu, kia kapi ia i te rino, kia mau hoki ki te kakau o te tao; a ka tahuna rawatia ratou ki te ahi i to ratou wahi.
8 These are the names of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.
Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tangata marohirohi a Rawiri, ko Iohepepahapete Takamoni, ko ia te tino rangatira; ko Arino Eteni ano ia, i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e waru, patua iho i te whakaekenga kotahi.
9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors. He was with David in Pas Dammim when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.
I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi, o nga hoa tokotoru o Rawiri i ta ratou whakataranga ki nga Pirihitini i huihui ki reira ki te whawhai, i te mea kua riro nga tangata o Iharaira:
10 He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Jehovah worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
Whakatika ana ia, a patua iho nga Pirihitini a ngenge noa tona ringa, piri noa tona ringa ki te hoari; a nui atu te wikitoria i meinga e Ihowa i taua ra; a hoki ana te iwi i muri i a ia, he hui kau i nga parakete.
11 After him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
A i muri i a ia ko Hamaha tama a Ake Harari. Na, ko te huihuinga o nga Pirihitini ki te taua, ki tetahi wahi oneone e kapi ana i te pi; a rere ana te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.
12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Jehovah worked a great victory.
Heoi tu ana tera i waenganui o taua wahi, na ka mau i a ia, patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.
13 And three of the Thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
Na ka haere e toru o nga rangatira e toru tekau ki raro, a ka tae ki a Rawiri i te kotinga witi ki te ana i Aturama: a i te noho tera te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raorao i Repaima.
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
Na i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa; i Peterehema ano nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i taua wa.
15 And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."
Na ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, te ai he tangata hei kawe wai moku hei inu i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!
16 The Three warriors broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
Na wahi pu ana aua toa tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha, tangohia ana, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai ia i pai ki te inu, na ringihia ana e ia hei mea ki a Ihow a.
17 He said, "Far be it from me, Jehovah, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.
A ka mea, Aue, kia meatia tenei e ahau, e Ihowa: kia inu ahau i te toto o nga tangata i haere whakamomori nei ki te mate? Na kihai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua marohirohi tokotoru.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.
Na ko Apihai teina o Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira o te tokotoru. A i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa hoki ia i roto i te tokotoru.
19 He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However he did not attain to the Three.
He teka ianei nona te kororia nui o te tokotoru? a meinga ana ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.
20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
Na ko Penaia tama a Tehoiara, ko te tama a tetahi tangata marohirohi no Kapateere, he nui ana mahi toa, a i patua e ia nga tama tokorua a Ariare o Moapa: i haere ano hoki ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te wa o te hukarere:
21 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
Nana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata pakari: na he tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana; otiia haere atu ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko tana, kapohia ana e ia te tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana, a patua ana ia e ia ki tana tao ano.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.
Na Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; a i whai ingoa ia i roto i nga marohirohi tokotoru.
23 He was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. David set him over his guard.
Nui ake tona kororia i to te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.
