< 2 Samuel 18 >

1 And he mustered David the people which [was] with him and he appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
Na ka taua e Rawiri tona nuinga, a whakaritea ana e ia he rangatira mano mo ratou, he rangatira rau.
2 And he sent out David the people the third [was] in [the] hand of Joab and the third [was] in [the] hand of Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah [the] brother of Joab and the third [was] in [the] hand of Ittai the Gittite. And he said the king to the people certainly I will go out also I with you.
Na, ka tonoa te iwi e Rawiri; ko tetahi kotahi toru i raro i te ringa o Ioapa, ko tetahi kotahi toru i raro i te ringa o Apihai tama a Teruia, teina o Ioapa, a ko tetahi kotahi toru hoki i raro i te ringa o Itai Kiti. I mea ano te kingi ki te iwi, He pono ka haere tahi atu ano hoki ahau i a koutou.
3 And it said the people not you must go out for if certainly [if] we will flee not they will set to us heart and if they will die half of us not they will set to us heart for now like us ten thousand and therefore [is] good that you will be us from [the] city (to help. *Q(K)*)
Na ka mea te iwi, Kaua koe e puta ki waho: ki te rere hoki matou, e kore ratou e whai whakaaro ki a matou; ahakoa ko te hawhe o matou i mate, e kore ratou e whai whakaaro ki a matou: tena ko koe, e rite ana koe ki nga mano kotahi tekau o matou; n o reira he pai ke ko koe hei awhina ake mo matou i roto i te pa.
4 And he said to them the king [that] which it will be good in view your I will do and he stood the king to [the] side of the gate and all the people they went out to hundreds and to thousands.
Na ka mea te kingi ki a ratou, Me mea e ahau nga mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro. Na tu ana te kingi ki te taha o te kuwaha, me te puta atu te iwi, ona rau, ona mano.
5 And he commanded the king Joab and Abishai and Ittai saying to gentleness for me to the young man to Absalom and all the people they heard when commanded the king all the commanders on [the] matter of Absalom.
A i ako te kingi ki a Ioapa, ki a Apihai, ki a Itai, i mea, Mahara ki ahau, kia ata hanga hoki ki taua taitama, ki a Apoharama. I rongo ano te iwi katoa i te kingi e ako ana i nga rangatira katoa ki te tikanga mo Apoharama.
6 And it went out the people the field to meet Israel and it was the battle in [the] forest of Ephraim.
Na ko te putanga o te iwi ki te parae ki te tu ki a Iharaira: a i te ngahere o Eparaima te whawhai.
7 And they were defeated there [the] people of Israel before [the] servants of David and it was there the slaughter great on the day that twenty thousand.
Na patua iho i reira nga tangata o Iharaira e nga tangata a Rawiri, nui atu te parekura i reira i taua ra, e rua tekau mano tangata.
8 And it was there the battle (scattered *Q(K)*) over [the] face of all the land and it increased the forest to consume among the people more than [those] whom it consumed the sword on the day that.
A tohatoha noa i reira te whawhai ki te mata katoa o te whenua: tokomaha atu o te iwi i pau i te ngahere i nga mea i pau i te hoari i taua ra.
9 And he was met Absalom before [the] servants of David and Absalom [was] riding on the mule and it went the mule under [the] branche[s] of the oak great and it was firm head his in the oak and he was put between the heavens and between the earth and the mule which [was] under him it passed on.
Na ka tupono a Apoharama ki nga tangata a Rawiri. I runga ano i te muera a Apoharama e noho ana. Na ko te haerenga o te muera i raro i nga peka matotoru o tetahi oki nui. Kua mau tona matenga ki te oki, a tarewa ana ia i te takiwa o te rangi, o t e whenua; haere atu ana te muera i raro i a ia.
10 And he saw a man one and he told to Joab and he said there! I saw Absalom hung up in the oak.
Na ka kite tetahi tangata, whakaaturia ana e ia ki a Ioapa; i mea hoki, Nana, i kite ahau i a Apoharama e iri ana i tetahi oki.
11 And he said Joab to the man who had told to him and there! you saw and why? not did you strike down him there [the] ground towards and on me to give to you ten silver and a belt one.
Na ka mea a Ioapa ki taua tangata nana nei i whakaatu ki a ia, Ha, i kite koe, a he aha ia te patua ai e koe i reira ki te whenua? penei tekau nga hekere hiriwa kua hoatu e ahau ki a koe, me tetahi whitiki.
12 And he said the man to Joab (and if *Q(k)*) I [were] weighing on hands my a thousand silver not I will stretch out hand my against [the] son of the king for in ears our he commanded the king you and Abishai and Ittai saying protect whoever the young man Absalom.
Na ka mea taua tangata ki a Ioapa, Ahakoa ka riro mai i toku ringa nga pihi hiriwa kotahi mano, pauna rawa, e kore e totoro toku ringa ki te tama a te kingi; i a tatou hoki e whakarongo ana i ako te kingi i a koe, i a Apihai, i a Itai, i mea, Ki a tupato kei pa tetahi ki te taitama ra, ki a Apoharama.
13 Or I had done (on life my *Q(K)*) falsehood and any thing not it is hidden from the king and you you will stand from in front.
Mehemea hoki i mahi teka ahau, i mea i te mate mona; e kore hoki tetahi mea e ngaro i te kingi: i reira ko koe tonu na e tu ke i ahau.
14 And he said Joab not thus I will wait before you and he took three spears in hand his and he thrust them in [the] heart of Absalom still he [was] alive in [the] heart of the oak.
Katahi a Ioapa ka mea, E kore e pai kia roa ahau nei i a koe. Na ka mau tona ringa ki etahi tao e toru, werohia atu ana e ia ki te ngakau o Apoharama, i a ia ano e ora ana i waenganui o te oki.
15 And they surrounded [him] ten young men [the] bearers of [the] armor of Joab and they struck Absalom and they killed him.
Na karapotia ana ia e nga taitama kotahi tekau, e nga kaimau patu a Ioapa, a patua ana a Apoharama e ratou, whakamatea ana.
16 And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and it turned back the people from pursuing after Israel for he restrained Joab the people.
Na whakatangihia ana e Ioapa te tetere, a hoki ana te iwi i te whai i a Iharaira. Na Ioapa hoki i pehi te iwi.
17 And they took Absalom and they threw him in the forest into the pit great and they set up over him a heap of stones great very and all Israel they fled each (to tents his. *Q(K)*)
Na ka mau ratou ki a Apoharama, ka maka i a ia ki tetahi poka nui i te ngahere, a nui atu te puranga kohatu i haupuria ki runga ki a ia, a whati ana a Iharaira katoa ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
18 And Absalom he had taken and he had set up for himself (in life his *Q(K)*) a pillar which [is] in [the] valley of the king for he said not [belongs] to me a son in order to cause to be remembered name my and he called the pillar on own name his and it has been called to it [the] monument of Absalom until the day this.
Na i tona oranga i tikina e Apoharama, i whakaarahia te pou mona, ko tera i te raorao o te kingi; i mea hoki ia, Kahore aku tama e maharatia ai toku ingoa: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ki taua pou: e huaina nei ano a reira, ko te tohu a Apohara ma a tae noa ki tenei ra.
19 And Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok he said let me run please and let me bear [the] news to the king that he has vindicated him Yahweh from [the] hand of enemies his.
Katahi ka mea a Ahimaata tama a Haroko, Tukua ahau kia rere ki te korero ki te kingi i ta Ihowa whakatikanga i tana whakawa ki ona hoariri.
20 And he said to him Joab not [are] a man of news you day this and you will bear news on a day another and day this not you will bear [the] news for (since *Q(K)*) [the] son of the king he has died.
Na ka mea a Ioapa, Kaua koe e kawe korero i tenei ra; engari me kawe korero koe a tetahi atu ra; i tenei ra ia e kore koe e kawe korero; kua mate hoki te tama a te kingi.
21 And he said Joab to the Cushite go tell to the king [that] which you have seen and he bowed down [the] Cushite to Joab and he ran.
Katahi ka mea a Ioapa ki te Kuhi, Haere, korerotia ki te kingi tau i kite ai. Na ka piko iho te Kuhi ki a Ioapa, a rere ana.
22 And he repeated again Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok and he said to Joab and may it be whatever let me run please also I after the Cushite and he said Joab why? this [are] you running O son my and [will belong] to you not good news finding.
Katahi ka mea ano a Ahimaata tama a Haroko ki a Ioapa, He ahakoa pehea, kia rere ano ahau i muri i te Kuhi. A ka mea a Ioapa, Kia rere koe hei aha, e taku tama? kahore nei hoki he painga ki a koe o nga korero.
23 And may it be whatever I will run and he said to him run and he ran Ahimaaz [the] way of the plain and he passed by the Cushite.
He ahakoa ra, e ai ki tana, me rere ano ahau. Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E rere. Katahi ka rere a Ahimaata i te ara o te mania, a ka mahue te Kuhi.
24 And David [was] sitting between [the] two the gates and he went the watchman to [the] roof of the gate to the wall and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! a man [was] running to only him.
Na e noho ana a Rawiri i waenganui i nga kuwaha e rua; i piki ano te kaititiro ki te tuanui i runga i te kuwaha, ki te taiepa; ko te marangatanga ake o ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko tetahi tangata e rere mai ana, tona kotahi.
25 And he called out the watchman and he told to the king and he said the king if to only him news [is] in mouth his and he came continuously and approaching.
Na ka karanga te kaititiro, ka whakaatu ki te kingi. Ano ra ko te kingi, Ki te mea ko ia anake, he korero kei tona mangai. Na haere tonu mai ana tera, a ka tata.
26 And he saw the watchman a man another running and he called out the watchman to the gatekeeper and he said there! a man [is] running to only him and he said the king also this one [is] bearing news.
I kite ano te kaititiro i tetahi atu tangata e rere mai ana, a ka karanga iho te kaititiro ki te kaitiaki o te kuwaha, ka mea, Tera he tangata e rere mai ra, ko ia anake. A ka mea te kingi, He korero ano ta tera.
27 And he said the watchman I [am] seeing [the] running of the first [one] like [the] running of Ahimaaz [the] son of Zadok and he said the king [is] a man good this and with news good he is coming.
Na ka mea te kaititiro, Ki taku titiro rite tonu te rere a te tuatahi ki te rere a Ahimaata tama a Haroko. A ka mea te kingi, He tangata pai ia, e haere mai ana me nga korero pai.
28 And he called out Ahimaaz and he said to the king peace and he bowed down to the king to face his [the] ground towards. And he said blessed [be] Yahweh God your who he has delivered up the men who they lifted up hand their against lord my the king.
Na ka karanga a Ahimaata, ka mea ki te kingi, Kei te pai katoa. Na ka piko iho tona mata ki te whenua ki te aroaro o te kingi, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua, nana nei i tuku mai nga tangata i totoro nei to ratou ringa ki toku arik i, ki te kingi.
29 And he said the king [does] peace? [belong] to the young man to Absalom and he said Ahimaaz I saw the multitude great to send [the] servant of the king Joab and servant your and not I know whatever.
Na ka mea te kingi, Kei te pai ranei te taitama a Apoharama? Ano ra ko Ahimaata, I te tononga a Ioapa i te tangata a te kingi, i ahau, i tau pononga, i kite ahau i te ngangau nui, heoi kihai i mohio he aha ranei.
30 And he said the king go around stand thus and he went around and he stood.
Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Haere ake, e tu ki konei. Na haere ana ia, a tu ana.
31 And here! the Cushite [was] coming and he said the Cushite let him receive [the] news lord my the king for he has vindicated you Yahweh this day from [the] hand of all those [who] rose up on you.
Na ko te haerenga mai o te Kuhi; a ka mea te Kuhi, He korero, e toku ariki, e te kingi; kua whakatikaia hoki e Ihowa tau whakawa i te hunga i whakatika mai ra ki a koe.
32 And he said the king to the Cushite ¿ [does] peace [belong] to the young man to Absalom and he said the Cushite let them be like the young man [the] enemies of lord my the king and all [those] who they have risen up on you for harm.
Ano ra ko te kingi ki te Kuhi, Kei te pai ranei te taitama, a Apoharama? A ka mea te Kuhi, Kia rite ki taua taitama nga hoariri o toku ariki, o te kingi, me te hunga katoa e whakatika ana ki a koe hei mea i te kino mou.
33 And he was agitated the king and he went up to [the] upper room of the gate and he wept and thus - he said when went he O son my Absalom son my son my Absalom who? will he give died I I in place of you O Absalom son my son my.
Na oho pu te mauri o te kingi, a piki ana ki te ruma i runga i te kuwaha, tangi ana: ko tana korero tenei i a ia e haere ana, E taku tama, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama, e Apoharama! he pai mehemea ko ahau i mate, a kaua koe, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama.
