2 Samuel 19

1 And it is declared to Joab, 'Lo, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom;'

Na ka korerotia ki a Ioapa, Nana, kei te tangi te kingi, kei te uhunga mo Apoharama.

2 and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, 'The king hath been grieved for his son.'

Na puta ke ana te whakaoranga i taua ra hei tangi ma te iwi katoa; i rongo hoki te iwi i taua ra i te korero, e koingo ana te kingi ki tana tama.

3 And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;

Na haere puku ana te iwi i taua ra ki te pa, ano he hunga e haere puku ana i te whakama, ina rere i te whawhai.

4 and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth — a loud voice — 'My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.'

Ko te kingi ia, taupoki tonu tona mata, nui atu te reo o te kingi ki te tangi, E Apoharama, e taku tama, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama.

5 And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith, 'Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants, those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines,

Na ka haere a Ioapa ki te kingi ki roto ki te whare, a ka mea, Kua whakama i a koe inaianei nga mata o au tangata katoa i ora ai koe i tenei ra, i ora ai hoki au tama, me au tamahine, i ora ai au wahine, i ora ai ano au wahine iti,

6 to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.

I a koe ka aroha nei ki ou hoariri, ka kino nei ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe. Kua whakaatu mai na hoki koe i tenei ra, he kore noa iho ki a koe nga rangatira me nga tangata: e mohio ana hoki ahau i tenei ra, kia ora kau ko Apoharama, a kia ma te ko matou katoa i tenei ra, ka pai rawa ki a koe.

7 'And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that — thou art not going out — there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this [is] worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee from thy youth till now.'

Na whakatika, puta atu ki waho, kia puaki tetahi kupu pai ki au tangata: ta te mea he oati tenei naku i a Ihowa, ki te kahore koe e puta ake, e kore tetahi tangata e noho ki a koe i tenei po: a nui atu tenei kino ki a koe i nga kino katoa i pa ki a koe o tou taitamarikitanga ake a mohoa noa nei.

8 And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all the people they have declared, saying, 'Lo, the king is sitting in the gate;' and all the people come in before the king, and Israel hath fled, each to his tents.

Na ka whakatika te kingi, a noho ana i te kuwaha. Na ka korerotia te korero ki te iwi katoa, Nana, ko te kingi, kei te kuwaha e noho ana. Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te aroaro o te kingi. Kua whati hoki tera a Iharaira ki tona teneti, ki tona te neti.

9 And it cometh to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, 'The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of the land because of Absalom,

Na ka puta ake he tautohetohe i nga tangata katoa o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira. I ki ratou, Na te kingi tatou i whakaora i roto i te ringa o o tatou hoariri, nana hoki tatou i mawhiti ai i te ringa o nga Pirihitini; heoi kua whati atu nei ia i te w henua i te wehi ki a Apoharama.

10 and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are ye silent — to bring back the king?'

A, ko Apoharama i whakawahia nei e tatou hei kingi mo tatou, kua mate i te whawhai. Na, he aha koutou te whai kupu ai kia whakahokia mai te kingi?

11 And king David sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, saying, 'Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house; )

Na ka tono tangata a Kingi Rawiri ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, ki nga tohunga, hei ki atu, Korero atu ki nga kaumatua o Hura, mea atu, He aha koutou i tauhiku ai ki te whakahoki i te kingi ki tona whare? kua tae atu na hoki te korero a Iharaira katoa ki te kingi, ki te whakahoki i a ia ki tona whare.

12 my brethren ye [are], my bone and my flesh ye [are], and why are ye last to bring back the king?

Ko oku teina nei koutou, ko oku whenua, ko oku kikokiko, he aha koutou i tauhikuhiku ai ki te whakahoki i te kingi?

13 And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.'

Ma korua ano e ki atu ki a Amaha, Ehara ianei koe i te whenua noku, i te kikokiko noku? ma te Atua e mea tenei mea ki ahau me tetahi atu mea, ki te kahore koe e meinga hei rangatira ope ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa hei whakakapi mo Ioapa.

14 And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send unto the king, 'Turn back, thou, and all thy servants.'

A meinga ana e ia kia piko te ngakau o nga tangata katoa o Hura ano he tangata kotahi; a ka tono tangata ratou ki te kingi hei mea, Hoki mai, me au tangata katoa.

15 And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan, and Judah hath come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,

Na hoki ana te kingi, a ka tae ki Horano. I haere ano a Hura ki Kirikara, he haere ki te whakatau i te kingi, hei whakawhiti i te kingi i Horano.

16 and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to meet king David,

Na hohoro tonu a Himei Pineamini tama a Kera, tera i Pahurimi ra, a haere tahi ana me nga tangata o Hura ki raro, ki te whakatau i a kingi Rawiri.

17 and a thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.

Na kotahi mano nga tangata o Pineamine i a ia, me Tipa ano, me te tangata o te whare o Haora, ratou ko ana tama tekau ma rima, me ana pononga e rua tekau; a whiti ana ratou i Horano i te aroaro o te kingi.

18 And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into Jordan,

I whiti ano he perepoti hei whakawhiti mo te whare o te kingi, hei mea hoki i nga mea e pai ana ki tona whakaaro. Na ka tapapa a Himei tama a Kera ki te aroaro o te kingi, i a ia ka whiti nei i Horano.

19 and saith unto the king, 'Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, — for the king to set [it] unto his heart;

A ka mea ki te kingi, Kaua toku ariki e whakairi hara ki ahau, kaua ano e maharatia te tutu o tau pononga i te ra i puta mai ai toku ariki, te kingi i Hiruharama; kaua te ngakau o te kingi e mea ki tena.

20 for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.'

E mohio ana hoki tau pononga i hara ahau. Koia ahau i haere mai ai inaianei, ko te tuatahi o te whare katoa o Hohepa; i haere mai hoki ki raro, ki te whakatau i toku ariki, i te kingi.

21 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, 'For this is not Shimei put to death — because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?'

Otiia ka oho a Apihai tama a Teruia, ka mea, E kore ianei a Himei e whakamatea mo tenei, mona i kanga i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?

22 And David saith, 'What — to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I [am] king over Israel?'

Ano ra ko Rawiri, Hei aha maku ta korua, e nga tama a Teruia, i mea ai korua ki te totohe ki ahau i tenei ra? kia mate koia he tangata i roto i a Iharaira i tenei ra? kahore ianei ahau e mohio ko ahau te kingi o Iharaira i tenei ra?

23 And the king saith unto Shimei, 'Thou dost not die;' and the king sweareth to him.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Himei, E kore koe e mate. Na oati ana te kingi ki a ia.

24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the king — and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in peace —

Na ka haere a Mepipohete tama a Haora ki raro, ki te whakatau i te kingi. Kihai ona waewae i whakapaia, kihai tona pahau i whakapaia, kihai ano ona kakahu i horoia, no te ra i haere ai te kingi a taea noatia te ra i hoki marie mai ai ia.

25 and it cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king saith to him, 'Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?'

A, i tona taenga ki Hiruharama ki te whakatau i te kingi, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha koe te haere ai tatou, e Mepipohete?

26 And he saith, 'My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it, and go with the king, for thy servant [is] lame;

Ano ra ko ia, Na taku pononga ahau i tinihanga, e toku ariki, e te kingi; i mea hoki tau pononga, Me whakanoho e ahau tetahi kaihe moku, hei ekenga atu moku, ka haere ai i te kingi; he kopa hoki tau pononga.

27 and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do thou that which is good in thine eyes,

Na kua whakapae teka ia mo tau pononga ki toku ariki, ki te kingi; otiia rite tonu toku ariki, te kingi ki te anahera a te Atua: na mau e mea te mea e pai ana ki tau titiro.

28 for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I any more — even to cry any more unto the king?'

Ko te whare katoa hoki o toku papa me te mea he tupapaku i te aroaro o toku ariki, o te kingi: heoi kua whakanohoia e koe tau pononga ki te hunga i kai ki tau tepu. Na, he aha ake ra taku e tika ai kia karanga atu ai ano ahau ki te kingi?

29 And the king saith to him, 'Why dost thou speak any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba — share ye the field.'

Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Hei aha ake au korero i korerotia tonutia ai? Ko taku kupu tenei, Me wehe e korua ko Tipa te mara.

30 And Mephibosheth saith unto the king, 'Yea, the whole let him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto his house.'

Na ka mea a Mepipohete ki te kingi, Engari me tango katoa e ia, he mea hoki kua tae marie mai toku ariki, te kingi ki tona whare.

31 And Barzillai the Gileadite hath gone down from Rogelim, and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;

I haere mai ano a Paratirai Kireari i Rokerimi; a whiti ana raua ko te kingi i Horano, he kawe i a ia ki tera taha o Horano.

32 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;

Na he koroheke rawa a Paratirai, e waru tekau ona tau: nana i atawhai te kingi i tona nohoanga ki Mahanaima; he tangata nui rawa hoki ia.

33 and the king saith unto Barzillai, 'Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.'

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Paratirai, Me whiti koe, taua, a maku koe e atawhai ki toku taha ki Hiruharama.

34 And Barzillai saith unto the king, 'How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?

Na ka mea a Paratirai ki te kingi, E hia nga ra o nga tau hei oranga moku, e haere tahi ai ahau me te kingi ki runga, ki Hiruharama?

35 A son of eighty years I [am] to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?

Ka waru tekau oku tau i tenei ra: e mohio ranei ahau he pai tenei, he kino tera? e mohiotia ranei e tau pononga te reka o taku e kai ai, o taku ranei e inu ai? e rongo ano ranei ahau i te reo o nga tane waiata, o nga wahine waiata ranei? a kia m einga ano tau pononga hei whakararuraru mo toku ariki, mo te kingi hei aha?

36 As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this recompense?

Ka haere tahi atu ra tau pononga me te kingi ki tawahi iti atu o Horano: a he aha kia whakaarohia tera ki ahau e te kingi ki tenei utu nui?

37 Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother, — and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do thou to him that which [is] good in thine eyes.'

Na, tukua tau pononga kia hoki, kia mate ai ahau ki toku nei pa, ki te taha o te urupa o toku papa, o toku whaea. Engari ia tau pononga, a Kimihama: ko ia e whiti tahi me toku ariki, me te kingi; meatia ki a ia te mea e pai ana ki tau titiro.

38 And the king saith, 'With me doth Chimham go over, and I do to him that which [is] good in thine eyes, yea, all that thou dost fix on me I do to thee.'

Na ka mea te kingi, Me whiti tahi maua ko Kimihama, a maku e mea ki a ia nga mea e pai ana ki tau titiro: a, he aha tau e tono ai ki ahau, ka mahia e ahau mau.

39 And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and blesseth him, and he turneth back to his place.

Na whiti ana te iwi katoa i Horano. I whiti ano te kingi, a kihia ana e te kingi a Paratirai, manaakitia ana; a hoki ana tera ki tona wahi.

40 And the king passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.

Heoi whiti ana te kingi ki Kirikara, a i haere tahi ano a Kimihama i a ia: a na te iwi katoa o Hura, na te hawhe o te iwi o Iharaira te kingi i kawe.

41 And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king, and they say unto the king, 'Wherefore have they stolen thee — our brethren, the men of Judah?' (and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him).

Na haere ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ka mea ki te kingi, He aha o matou teina, nga tangata o Hura i tahae ai i a koe, i whakawhiti mai ai i te kingi, i tona whare katoa, i nga tangata katoa ano a Rawiri, i Horano?

42 And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, 'Because the king [is] near unto us, and why [is] this — ye are displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the king's [substance?] a gift hath he lifted up to us?'

Na ka whakahokia e nga tangata katoa o Hura ki nga tangata o Iharaira, No te mea he whanaunga tata te kingi ki a matou: he aha ra koutou i riri ai mo tenei mea. I kai ranei matou i tetahi mea a te kingi? i homai ranei e ia tetahi mea ki a matou?

43 And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, 'Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word hath not been first to bring back our king?' And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.

Na ka whakahoki nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tangata o Hura, ka mea ratou, Kotahi tekau nga wahi o te kingi kei a matou, a nui atu hoki i to koutou to matou take ki a Rawiri: a he aha matou i whakahaweatia ai e koutou, te waiho ai ma matou te k upu tuatahi mo te whakahoki mai i to matou kingi? Heoi i pakari rawa ake nga kupu a nga tangata o Hura i nga kupu a nga tangata o Iharaira.
