1 Whakapapa 10
1 Na kua whawhai nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira; a ka whati nga tangata o Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana, mate rawa, i Maunga Kiripoa.
The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
2 Na ka whaia e nga Pirihitini a Haora ratou ko ana tama; a patua iho e nga Pirihitini a Honatana ratou ko Apinarapa, ko Marikihua, nga tama a Haora.
The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Na kua taikaha haere te whawhai ki a Haora, a kua mau ia i nga kaikopere; a kua he tona manawa i nga kaikopere.
The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
4 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki tana kaimau patu, Unuhia tau hoari, werohia hoki ahau; kei haere mai tenei hunga kokotikore, kei whakatupu kino i ahau. Otiia kihai i pai tana kaimau patu; he nui hoki no tona hopohopo. Heoi ka mau a Haora ki tana hoari, hinga iho ana ki runga.
Saul told his armor bearer, “Take out your sword and kill me before these heathen come and torment me.” But his armor bearer refused—he was too afraid to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 A, no te kitenga o tana kaimau patu kua mate a Haora, ka hinga hoki ia ki runga ki tana hoari, a ka mate.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6 Heoi ka mate a Haora me ana tama tokotoru; mate tahi ana tona whare katoa.
So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
7 A, no te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i te raorao kua whati ratou, kua mate hoki a Haora ratou ko ana tama, whakarerea ake e ratou o ratou pa, a rere ana; na ka haere mai nga Pirihitini, a nohoia iho e ratou.
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that their army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and they also ran away. The Philistines came and occupied them.
8 A, i te aonga ake, i te haerenga mai o nga Pirihitini ki te muru i te hunga i patua, na ka kitea a Haora ratou ko ana tama e takoto ana i runga i Maunga Kiripoa.
The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
9 Na huia ana ona e ratou, tangohia ana tona upoko me ana patu, tukua ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua o nga Pirihitini a tawhio noa, kia kauwhautia ki a ratou whakapakoko, ki te iwi.
They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor. Then they sent the news throughout the land of Philistia, to their idols and their people.
10 I whakatakotoria hoki e ratou ana patu ki te whare o o ratou atua, a ko tona upoko titia ake e ratou ki te whare o Rakono.
They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
11 A, no te rongonga o Iapehe Kireara katoa ki nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Pirihitini ki a Haora,
However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Ka whakatika nga marohirohi katoa, tangohia iho e ratou te tinana o Haora, me nga tinana o ana tama, kawea ana ki Iapehe, tanumia ana o ratou wheua ki raro i tetahi oki i Iapehe, a e whitu nga ra i nohopuku ai ratou.
all their fighting men went and recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back and buried them under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for seven days.
13 Heoi kua mate a Haora mo tona he i he ai ia ki a Ihowa, mo te kupu a Ihowa kihai nei i puritia e ia; mona hoki i ui ki tetahi, i a ia nei te atua maori, he rapu whakaaro,
Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He did not keep the Lord's commands, and he also went to consult a medium.
14 A kihai i rapu whakaaro i a Ihowa: no reira i whakamatea ai ia e ia, a hurihia ketia ana te kingitanga ki a Rawiri tama a Hehe.
He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
