1 Kings 21

1 It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

A, i muri i enei mea, he mara waina ta Napoto Ietereeri i Ietereere, i te taha tonu o te whare o Ahapa kingi o Hamaria.

2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money."

Na ka korero a Ahapa ki a Napoto, ka mea, Homai tau mara waina ki ahau, hei kari otaota maku, e tata ana hoki ki te taha o toku whare, a me hoatu e ahau tetahi mara waina, he pai ke atu i tenei hei utu; ki te pai ranei ki tau titiro, me utu ki te moni.

3 Naboth said to Ahab, "May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you."

Na ka mea a Napoto ki a Ahapa, E! ma Ihowa ahau e arai kei hoatu e ahau te kainga tupu o oku matua ki a koe!

4 Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

Na haere ana a Ahapa ki tona whare; pouri ana, riri ana, mo te kupu i korero ai a Napoto Ietereeri ki a ia; mo tana i mea ra, E kore e hoatu e ahau te kainga tupu o oku matua ki a koe. Na takoto ana ia ki tona moenga, me te ahu ke ano tona mata, kihai hoki i kai taro.

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?"

Katahi tana wahine, a Ietepere, ka haere mai ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tou wairua i pouri ai, te kai taro ai koe?

6 He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' He answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, I korero ahau ki a Napoto Ietereeri, i mea ki a ia, Homai tau mara waina ki ahau, me utu ki te moni: ki te pai ranei koe, me hoatu e ahau tetahi atu mara ki a koe hei utu. Na ka mea mai ia, E kore e hoatu e ahau taku mara waina ki a koe.

7 Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."

Na ka ki atu a Ietepere, tana wahine, ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te kaiwhakahaere o te kingitanga o Iharaira? Whakatika ki te kai taro mau, kia koa tou ngakau. Maku e hoatu te mara waina a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, ki a koe.

8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

Heoi tuhituhia ana etahi pukapuka e ia, no Ahapa te ingoa, hiri rawa ki tana hiri; a tukua ana aua pukapuka ki nga kaumatua, ki nga rangatira i roto i tona pa, a e noho tahi ana me Napoto.

9 She wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

I tuhituhi ia ki te pukapuka, i mea, Karangatia he nohopuku, ka whakanoho i a Napoto ki runga ake i te iwi:

10 Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then carry him out, and stone him to death."

Ka whakanoho ano i etahi tangata, he tama na Periara, kia tokorua, ki tona aroaro, hei whakaatu i tona he, hei ki, Nau i kanga te Atua raua ko te kingi. Katahi ka kawe i a ia ki waho, ka aki ki te kohatu, kia mate.

11 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

Na ka meatia e nga tangata o tona pa, ara e nga kaumatua ratou ko nga rangatira e noho ana i tona pa, te mea i tono tangata ai a Ietepere ki a ratou, te mea i tuhituhia ki nga pukapuka i tukua nei e ia ki a ratou.

12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

I karangatia he nohopuku, a whakanohoia ana a Napoto ki runga ake i te iwi.

13 The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

Na ka haere mai nga tangata tokorua, nga tama a Periara, ka noho i tona aroaro: a ka whakaatu aua tangata a Periara i te he mona, ara mo Napoto i te aroaro o te iwi; i mea raua, I kanga e Napoto te Atua raua ko te kingi. Na kawea ana ia e ratou ki waho o te pa, a akina ana ki te kohatu, a mate noa ia.

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned, and is dead."

Katahi ratou ka tono tangata ki a Ietepere, ka mea, Kua oti a Napoto te aki ki te kohatu, a kua mate.

15 It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."

A, i te rongonga o Ietepere kua oti a Napoto te aki ki te kohatu, a kua mate, na ka mea a Ietepere ki a Ahapa, Whakatika, tangohia te mara a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, kihai na ia i pai kia homai ki a koe hei utu moni; kahore hoki a Napoto i te o ra, kua mate.

16 It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

A ka rongo a Ahapa kua mate a Napoto, na whakatika ana a Ahapa, haere ana ki raro, ki te mara waina a taua Ietereeri, a Napoto, kia tangohia e ia.

17 The word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi; i ki ia,

18 "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Look, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

Whakatika, haere ki raro, ki te whakatau i a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i Hamaria: kei te mara waina ia a Napoto, kua riro hoki ki reira ki te tango.

19 You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "Have you killed and also taken possession?"' You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours."'"

Korero ki a ia, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua patu iana koe? kua riro ano i a koe? Ki atu ano ki a ia, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te wahi i mitikia ai e nga kuri nga toto o Napoto, ka mitikia ano e nga kuri ki reira ou toto, ae ra, ou ano.

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Na ka mea a Ahapa ki a Iraia, Kua mau ahau i a koe, e toku hoariri? Ano ra ko tera, Kua mau ano, no te mea kua hoko koe i a koe ki te mahi i te kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

21 Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone, slave or free in Israel.

Nana, tenei ahau te tari kino atu nei ki runga ki a koe, a ka tahia atu ou uri; ka hautopea atu nga tamariki tane katoa i a Ahapa, me nga mea i tutakina ki roto, me nga mea i mahue i roto i a Iharaira.

22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.'"

Ka meinga ano e ahau tou whare kia rite ki te whare o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, ki te whare o Paaha tama a Ahia, mo te whakapataritari i whakapataritari ai koe i ahau, mou i hara ai a Iharaira.

23 The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.

I korerotia ano a Ietepere e Ihowa, i mea ia, Ka kainga a Ietepere e nga kuri ki te parepare o Ietepere.

24 The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field."

Ko te hunga o Ahapa e mate ki te pa ma nga kuri e kai; ko nga mea hoki e mate ki te parae ma nga manu o te rangi e kai.

25 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

Heoi kahore he rite mo Ahapa, i hoko nei i a ia ki te mahi kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa; he mea akiaki na tana wahine, na Ietepere.

26 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Whakarihariha rawa tana haere ki te whai i nga whakapakoko: rite tonu tana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Amori i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.

27 It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

A, no te rongonga o Ahapa i enei kupu, na haea ana e ia ona kakahu, meatia ana he kakahu taratara ki tona kiri, a nohopuku ana, takoto ana ko taua mea taratara nei te kakahu, a mahaki ana te haere.

28 The word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi, i mea ia,

29 "See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the disaster on his house."

Kua kite koe i ta Ahapa whakangohengohe nei i a ia ki toku aroaro, na e kore e taria e ahau tenei kino i ona ra: engari hei nga ra o tana tama ahau tari ai i te kino ki tona whare.
