2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
Na, muri iho ka patua nga Pirihitini e Rawiri, a hinga ana ratou i a ia: a tangohia ana e Rawiri a Metekeama i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
I patua ano e ia a Moapa, a ruritia ana ratou ki te aho; a meinga ana ratou kia takoto ki te whenua: na e rua nga aho i ruritia e ia mo te whakamate, kotahi tino aho mo te whakaora. Na ka riro nga Moapi hei pononga ma Rawiri, hei kaihomai hakari.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
I patua ano e Rawiri a Hareretere tama a Rehopo kingi o Topa, i tona haerenga ki te whakahoki mai i tona rohe i te awa, i Uparati.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
Na kotahi mano ana hariata i riro mai i a Rawiri, e whitu rau hoki nga hoia eke hoiho, e rua tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro. Na whakangongea ana e Rawiri nga hoiho o nga hariata katoa; i whakatoea ia etahi mo nga hariata kotahi rau.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
A, no te haerenga mai o nga Hiriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru ki a Hararetere kingi o Topa, patua iho e Rawiri o nga Hiriani e rua tekau ma rua mano tangata.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
I whakanohoia ano e Rawiri etahi hoia pupuri ki Hiria o Ramahiku: a ka waiho nga Hiriani hei pononga homai hakari ma Rawiri. Na whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
I tangohia ano e Rawiri nga pukupuku koura a nga tangata a Hararetere, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
A nui atu te parahi i tangohia e Kingi Rawiri i Petaha, i Perotai, i nga pa o Hararetere.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
A, i te rongonga o Toi kingi o Hamata kua patua e Rawiri te ope katoa a Hararetere,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
Katahi ka tono a Toi i a Iorama, i tana tama ki a Kingi Rawiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia; mona i whawhai ki a Hararetere, i patu hoki i a ia: he hoariri hoki a Hararetere no Toi: i te ringa ano o Iorama etahi mea hiriwa, mea k oura, mea parahi.
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura i whakatapua e ia, a nga iwi katoa i hinga nei i a ia;
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
A Hiria, a Moapa, a nga tamariki a Amona, a nga Pirihitini, a Amareke, me nga taonga o Hararetere tama a Rehopo, kingi o Topa.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
Na ka whai ingoa a Rawiri i tona hokinga mai i te patu i nga Hiriani i te Raorao Tote, ara kotahi tekau ma waru mano tangata.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
A i whakanohoia e ia etahi hoia pupuri ki Eroma; he mea whakanoho puta noa i Eroma katoa ana hoia pupuri, a ka meinga nga Eromi katoa hei pononga ma Rawiri. A whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Na ko Rawiri te kingi o Iharaira katoa; a i whakarite ano a Rawiri i te whakawa, i te tika, mo tona iwi katoa.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
Ko Ioapa tama a Teruia hoki te rangatira ope, ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara.
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
Ko Haroko tama a Ahitupu, raua ko Ahimereke tama a Apiatara, nga tohunga; ko Heraia hoki te kaituhituhi;
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mo nga Kereti, mo nga Pereti; ko nga tama ia a Rawiri nga tino rangatira.
