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.
Now, the Philistines, fought against Israel, —and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and the wounded fell in 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.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
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.
And the battle, went sore, against Saul, and the archers discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified because of the archers.
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.
Therefore said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw out thy sword and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly, —so then Saul took the sword, and fell upon 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.
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon the sword, and died.
6 Heoi ka mate a Haora me ana tama tokotoru; mate tahi ana tona whare katoa.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and, all his house, together, died.
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.
And, when all the men of Israel that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in 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.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, —that they found Saul, and his sons, lying prostrate in 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.
So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the 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.
And they put his armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, in the house of Dagon.
11 A, no te rongonga o Iapehe Kireara katoa ki nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Pirihitini ki a Haora,
And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that 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.
then rose up all the men of valour, and took away the corpse of Saul, and the corpses of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, —and buried their bodies under the terebinth, in Jabesh, and fasted 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,
Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, —and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;
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.
and enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
