2 Samuel 14

1 And he perceived Joab [the] son of Zeruiah that [the] heart of the king [was] towards Absalom.

Na ka kite a Ioapa tama a Teruia e anga ana te ngakau o te kingi ki a Apoharama,

2 And he sent Joab Tekoa towards and he took from there a woman wise and he said to her play [the] mourner please and put on please garments of mourning and may not you anoint yourself oil and you will be like a woman this days many [who has been] mourning on a dead [person].

Ka tono tangata a Ioapa ki Tekoa ki te tiki i tetahi wahine mohio i reira, a ka mea ki a ia, Me mea koe i a koe he wahine e tangi tupapaku ana, me kakahu he kakahu taua, kaua ano e whakawahi i a koe ki te hinu; engari kia rite ki te wahine kua ta ngi noa ake ki te tupapaku.

3 And you will go to the king and you will speak to him according to the word this and he put Joab the words in mouth her.

A haere ki te kingi, a ko enei nga kupu mau ki a ia. Heoi hoatu ana e Ioapa nga kupu ki tona mangai.

4 And she said the woman Tekoite to the king and she fell on face her [the] ground towards and she bowed down and she said save! O king.

Na korerotia ana e te wahine o Tekoa ki te kingi, me te tapapa ano ki te whenua, me te piko ano. I mea hoki, Whakaorangia, e te kingi.

5 And he said to her the king what? [is] to you and she said indeed [am] a woman a widow I and he has died husband my.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha tou mate? a ka ki tera, He wahine pouaru nei ahau, kua mate hoki taku tahu.

6 And [belonged] to maidservant your two sons and they struggled together [the] two of them in the field and there not [was] a deliverer between them and he struck him the one the one and he killed him.

Na tokorua nga tama a tau pononga, heoi whawhai ana raua ki a raua i te parae, a kahore he kaiwawao mo raua. Na patua iho tetahi e tetahi, a mate iho.

7 And there! it has risen up all the clan on maidservant your and they have said deliver up - [the] [one who] struck down brother his so we may put to death him for [the] life of brother his whom he killed and let us destroy also the heir and they will extinguish coal my which it is left to not (to establish *Q(K)*) for husband my a name and a remnant on [the] surface of the ground.

Na ka whakatika nga whanaunga katoa ki tau pononga, e mea ana, Homai te kaipatu i tona teina kia whakamatea hei utu mo te matenga o tona teina, i patua nei e ia, a ka huna e matou te tangata mona te kainga. Na ka keto i a ratou taku ngarahu i te toe, a kahore noa iho e mahue he ingoa mo taku tahu, he toenga ranei i te mata o te whenua.

8 And he said the king to the woman go to house your and I I will command on you.

Na ka mea te kingi ki te wahine, Haere ki tou whare, a maku nga tikanga mo tau mea.

9 And she said the woman Tekoite to the king [be] on me O lord my the king the iniquity and on [the] house of father my and the king and throne his [be] innocent.

Na ka mea taua wahine o Tekoa ki te kingi, Hei runga i ahau te kino, e toku ariki, e te kingi, hei runga ano hoki i te whare o toku papa: kia harakore ia te kingi me tona torona.

10 And he said the king the [one who] speaks to you and you will bring him to me and not he will repeat again to touch you.

Na ka mea te kingi, Ki te korero tetahi ki a koe, kawea mai ia ki ahau, a e kore ia e pa ki a koe i muri iho.

11 And she said let him remember please the king Yahweh God your (from increasing *Q(k)*) [the] avenger of blood to destroy and not they will destroy son my and he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh if it will fall one of [the] hair[s] of son your [the] ground towards.

Katahi ia ka mea, Kia mahara ra te kingi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia kaua te kaitakitaki toto e whakangaro a mua ake, kei huna taku tama. Na ka ki ia, E ora ana a Ihowa e kore tetahi makawe o tau tama e taka ki te whenua.

12 And she said the woman let her speak please maidservant your to lord my the king a word and he said speak.

Na ka mea taua wahine, Tena, kia korerotia e tau pononga tetahi kupu ki toku ariki, ki te kingi. Ano ra ko ia, Korero.

13 And she said the woman and why? have you planned like this on [the] people of God and because has spoken the king the word this like a guilty [person] to not to bring back the king banished [son] his.

Na ka mea taua wahine, He aha ra koe i he ai ki te iwi a te Atua, i whakaaro ai i tenei mea? i te kingi hoki e korero ana i tenei mea, e rite ana ia ki te tangata kua he, i te kingi e kore nei e whakahoki mai i tana i peia atu ra.

14 For certainly we will die and [we are] like waters which are spilled [the] ground towards which not they will be gathered and not he takes away God life and he plans plans to not he will be cast out from him a banished [one].

Mo te mate nei hoki tatou, a ka rite ki te wai i maringi ki te whenua, kahore nei e kohikohia ake; na kahore te Atua e tango atu ana i te ora, engari e whakaaro ana i nga whakaaro e kore ai e peia rawatia atu i a ia te mea i peia.

15 And now when I have come to speak to the king lord my the word this that they have made afraid me the people and she said maidservant your let me speak please to the king perhaps he will do the king [the] word of maidservant his.

Koia ahau i haere mai ai ki te korero i tenei mea ki te kingi, ki toku ariki, he wehi noku i ta te iwi; koia tau pononga i mea ai, Me korero ahau ki te kingi; tera pea te kingi e mea i ta tana pononga e korero ai.

16 For he will hear the king to deliver maidservant his from [the] hand of the man to destroy me and son my together from [the] inheritance of God.

Tera hoki te kingi e rongo, e whakaora i tana pononga i te ringa o te tangata e huna ai maua tahi ko taku tama i to te Atua wahi tupu.

17 And she said maidservant your may it become please [the] word of lord my the king rest for - like [the] angel of God [is] so lord my the king to hear good and bad and Yahweh God your may he be with you.

Koia tau pononga i mea ai, Akuanei he whakamarie te kupu a toku ariki, a te kingi; e rite ana hoki toku ariki, te kingi ki te anahera a te Atua, hei whakarongo ki te pai, ki te kino; hei hoa ano mou a Ihowa, te Atua.

18 And he answered the king and he said to the woman may not please you hide from me anything which I [am] asking you and she said the woman let him speak please lord my the king.

Na ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea ki te wahine, Na, kaua e huna ki ahau te kupu e uia e ahau ki a koe. Na ka mea te wahine, Tena, kia korero toku ariki, te kingi.

19 And he said the king ¿ [is] [the] hand of Joab with you in all this and she answered the woman and she said [by] [the] life of self your O lord my the king if there is - to go to [the] right and to go to [the] left from all that he has spoken lord my the king for servant your Joab he he commanded me and he he put in [the] mouth of maidservant your all the words these.

Na ka mea te kingi, Kahore ianei te ringa o Ioapa i a koe i tenei mea katoa? Ano ra ko te wahine, i mea ia, E ora ana tou wairua, e toku ariki, e te kingi, ina, kahore he tahuritanga mo tetahi ki matau, ki maui, i nga kupu katoa i korero ai toku ariki, te kingi: na tau pononga hoki, na Ioapa, nana ahau i whakahau, nana hoki i homai enei kupu katoa ki te mangai o tau pononga.

20 In order to change [the] face of the matter he did servant your Joab the thing this and lord my [is] wise like [the] wisdom of [the] angel of God to know all that [is] in the land.

He whakaahua ke i te tikanga o tenei korero i mea ai tau pononga, a Ioapa i tenei mea: a he mohio toku ariki, he pera me te mohio o te anahera a te Atua, he mohio ki nga mea katoa o te whenua.

21 And he said the king to Joab here! please I do the thing this and go bring back the young man Absalom.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Ioapa, Na kua meatia nei tenei mea e ahau: tikina, whakahokia mai taua tamaiti, a Apoharama.

22 And he fell Joab to face his [the] ground towards and he bowed down and he blessed the king and he said Joab this day he knows servant your that I have found favor in view your O lord my the king that he has done the king [the] word of (servant your. *Q(K)*)

Na ka tapapa a Ioapa ki te whenua, ka piko, ka whakapai i te kingi: i mea ano a Ioapa, No tenei ra tau pononga i mohio ai e manakohia ana ahau e koe, e toku ariki, e te kingi, no te kingi hoki ka whakamana i te kupu a tana pononga.

23 And he arose Joab and he went Geshur towards and he brought Absalom Jerusalem.

Heoi whakatika ana a Ioapa, a haere ana ki Kehuru, a kawea ana e ia a Apoharama ki Hiruharama.

24 And he said the king he will turn to house his and face my not he will see and he turned Absalom to house his and [the] face of the king not he saw.

Na ka mea te kingi, Kia tahuri atu ia ki tona whare, kaua hoki ia e kite i toku kanohi. Na tahuri ana a Apoharama ki tona whare, kihai hoki i kite i te kanohi o te kingi.

25 And like Absalom not he was a man handsome in all Israel to praise exceedingly from [the] sole of foot his and to scalp his not it was in him a blemish.

Na kahore he rite mo Apoharama, te korerotia tona ataahua i roto i a Iharaira katoa: kahore ona koha i te kapu o tona waewae a tae noa ki tona tumuaki.

26 And when shaved he head his and it was from [the] end of days - to the days when he shaved for [it was] heavy on him and he shaved it and he weighed [the] hair of head his two hundred shekels by [the] weight of the king.

A ka kutikutia e ia tona matenga; i kutikutia hoki e ia i te takanga o te tau: he taimaha hoki nona koia i kutikutia ai: na ka paunatia e ia nga makawe o tona matenga, e rua rau nga hekere o ta te kingi pauna.

27 And they were born to Absalom three sons and a daughter one and name her [was] Tamar she she was a woman beautiful of appearance.

A tokotoru nga tama i whanau ma Apoharama, kotahi hoki te kotiro, ko tona ingoa ko Tamara; he wahine kanohi ataahua ano ia.

28 And he dwelt Absalom in Jerusalem two years days and [the] face of the king not he saw.

Na e rua tino tau i noho ai a Apoharama ki Hiruharama, a kihai i i kitea e ia te kanohi o te kingi.

29 And he sent Absalom to Joab to send him to the king and not he was willing to come to him and he sent again a second [time] and not he was willing to come.

Na ka tono tangata a Apoharama ki a Ioapa, he mea kia tonoa ia ki te kingi; heoi kihai tera i pai ki te haere mai ki a ia. Na ka tono ano ia, otiia kihai tera i pai ki te haere mai.

30 And he said to servants his see [the] portion of land of Joab [is] to hand my and [belongs] to him there barley go (and set on fire it *Q(K)*) with fire and they set on fire [the] servants of Absalom the portion of land with fire.

Na reira ka mea ia ki ana pononga, Nana, tata tonu ki toku to Ioapa wahi whenua, he parei ano tana kei reira; tikina tahuna ki te ahi. Na kua tahuna e nga tangata a Apoharama ki te ahi.

31 And he arose Joab and he went to Absalom the house towards and he said to him why? have they set on fire servants your the portion of land which [belongs] to me with fire.

Na ka whakatika a Ioapa, a haere ana ki a Apoharama ki te whare, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha i tahuna ai toku wahi e au tangata ki te ahi?

32 And he said Absalom to Joab here! I sent to you - saying come here so let me send you to the king saying why? have I come from Geshur [was] good for me still I [was] there and therefore let me see [the] face of the king and if there in me [is] iniquity and he will kill me.

Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a Ioapa, Nana, i tono tangata ahau ki a koe, i mea, Haere mai ki konei kia tonoa ai koe e ahau ki te kingi hei mea, Mo te aha ahau i haere mai ai i Kehuru? He pai ke moku me i noho tonu ahau ki reira; ko tenei kia kite a hau i te kanohi o te kingi; a ki te mea he kino toku, me whakamate ahau e ia.

33 And he went Joab to the king and he told to him and he summoned Absalom and he came to the king and he bowed down to him on face his [the] ground towards before the king and he kissed the king Absalom.

Heoi haere ana a Ioapa ki te kingi, ki te korero ki a ia. Na ka karangatia a Apoharama e ia, a Haere ana ia ki te kingi. Na piko ana ia ki a ia, ahu ana tona mata ki te whenua i te aroaro o te kingi: a kihia ana a Apoharama e te kingi.
