2 Samuel 4
1 And the son of Saul heareth that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been troubled.
A, no ka rongo a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora kua mate a Apanere ki Heperona, na ngohe noa iho ona ringi, a raru ana a Iharaira katoa.
2 And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the one [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to Benjamin,
Na tokorua nga tangata a Ihipohete, te tama a Haora, he rangatira ngohi, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Paana, ko te ingoa hoki o tetahi ko Rekapa, he tama na Rimono Peeroti, no nga tama a Pineamine; i kiia hoki a Peeroto no Pineamine.
3 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto this day.
I rere hoki nga Peeroti ki Kitaima, a noho ana i reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
4 And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son — lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumour of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee, that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name [is] Mephibosheth.
Na he tama ta Honatana tama a Haora, he kopa ona waewae. E rima nga tau o tona whanautanga i te taenga mai o te rongo o Haora raua ko Honatana i Ietereere, na ka mau tona kaihiki ki a ia, a rere ana: a, i a ia e taika ana ki te rere, ka hinga ia, kopa tonu iho; ko Mepipohete tona ingoa.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down — the lying down of noon;
Na ka haere nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, a Rekapa raua ko Paana, a haere ana i te mahanatanga o te ra ki te whare o Ihipohete, i a ia e okioki ana i te poutumarotanga.
6 and thither they have come, unto the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth [rib], and Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped;
Na haere ana raua ki reira ki waenganui o te whare, me te mea he tiki witi mai ta raua; na patua iho ia ki te kopu, a rere ana a Rakapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana.
7 yea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,
I to raua haerenga hoki ki te whare, i te takoto tera i tona whare moenga; na patua ana ia e raua, whakamatea iho, na tangohia ana tona upoko, a mauria ana tona upoko. Na pau katoa taua po i a raua e haere ana na te ara o te mania.
8 and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron, and say unto the king, 'Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his seed.'
Na kawea ana e raua te upoko o Ihipohete ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea ki te kingi, Nana, te matenga o Ihipohete tama a Haora, o tou hoariri i whai nei kia whakamatea koe; na kua mea nei a Ihowa i toku ariki, i te kingi kia whai utu i tenei r a i a Haora ratou ko ona uri.
9 And David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki ta Rekapa raua ko tona teina, ko Paana, ki ta nga tama a Rimono Peeroti, ka mea ia ki a raua, E ora ana a Ihowa i whakaora nei i toku wairua i roto i nga he katoa,
10 when one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the tidings.
I te korerotanga mai a tetahi ki ahau, i te meatanga, Nana, kua mate a Haora, tohu noa ia he kaikawe mai ia i nga korero pai, hopukia ana ia e ahau, patua iho ki Tikiraka; ko te utu tera i hoatu e ahau mo tana korero.
11 Also — when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?'
Tena ko tenei ka patu te hunga kino i te tangata tika i roto i tona whare, i runga ano i tona moenga, e kore ianei ahau e rapu i ona toto aianei i o korua ringa, e huna hoki i a korua i runga i te whenua?
12 And David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
Na whakahaua ana nga taitamariki e Rawiri, a patua ana raua e ratou, tapahia ana hoki o raua ringa me o raua waewae, whakairihia ake ki runga i te poka wai i Heperona. Ko te upoko ia o Ihipohete i tangohia, i tanumia ki te tanumanga o Apanere ki Heperona.
