1 Chronicles 20
1 It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
A, i te takanga o te tau, i te wa e haere ai nga kingi ki te whawhai, na, ka arahina atu he taua maia e Ioapa; a huna iho e ratou te whenua o nga tama a Amona; haere ana, kei te whakapae i Rapa. Ko Rawiri ia i noho ki Hiruharama. Na ka patua a Ra pa e Ioapa, ngaro ana i a ia.
2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
Tangohia ana e Rawiri te karauna o to ratou kingi i tona matenga, a ko tona taimaha i kitea e ia, kotahi taranata koura, he kohatu utu nui ano o taua karauna; potaea iho ki te matenga o Rawiri. I whakaputaina ano e ia nga taonga o te pa, tona tin i.
3 He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Na, ko nga tangata i roto, whakaputaina ana e ia ki waho, poroporoa iho e ia ki te kani, ki te rakaraka rino, ki te toki. Ko ta Rawiri tenei i mea ai ki nga pa katoa o nga tama a Amona. Na hoki ana a Rawiri me te iwi katoa ki Hiruharama.
4 Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Rephaim; and they were subdued.
A, i muri iho i tenei ka tupu te whakawhai ki nga Pirihitini ki Ketere: katahi ka patua e Hipekai Huhati a Hipai o nga tama a Rapa; na pehia ana ratou ki raro.
5 There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
A ka ara ano he whawhai ki nga Pirihitini; na ka patua e Erehanana, tama a Iaare, a Rahami teina o Koriata o Kata, ko te kakau o tana taoroa, rite tonu ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu.
6 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was descended from the Raphah.
Na i whawhai ano ki Kata, a i reira tetahi tangata roa, ko nga maihao o ona ringa me ona waewae e rua tekau ma wha, takiono ki ia ringa, a takiono ki ia waewae; a he uri ia no Rapa.
7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah David's brother killed him.
I tana whakataranga i a Iharaira, patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himea tuakana o Rawiri.
8 These were the descendants of the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
I whanau enei a Rapa ki Kata; a hinga ana i te ringa o Rawiri, i te ringa ano o ana tangata.
