1 Kingi 2

1 Na kua tata nga ra o Rawiri e mate ia; a ka ako ia i tana tama, i a Horomona, ka mea,

Then the dayes of Dauid drewe neere that he should die, and hee charged Salomon his sonne, saying,

2 E haere ana tenei ahau i te ara o te whenua katoa: na kia kaha, whakatane:

I go the way of all the earth: be strong therefore, and shew thy selfe a man,

3 A kia mau ki te whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, kia haere i ana ara, kia mau ki ana tikanga, ki ana whakahau, ki ana whakaritenga, ki ana whakaaturanga, ki nga mea kua oti te tuhituhi ki te ture a Mohi, kia tika ai tau i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe, i nga wahi katoa e tahuri ai koe:

And take heede to the charge of the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and keepe his statutes, and his commandements, and his iudgements, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and in euery thing whereunto thou turnest thee,

4 Kia mana ai i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia moku, i mea ia, Ki te tupato au tamariki ki to ratou ara, ki te whakapaua katoatia o ratou ngakau, o ratou wairua, ki te haere i toku aroaro i runga i te pono, e kore e whakakorea, e ai ki tana, teta hi tangata mau mo te torona o Iharaira.

That the Lord may confirme his worde which hee spake vnto me, saying, If thy sonnes take heede to their way, that they walke before me in trueth, with all their hearts, and with all their soules, thou shalt not (sayd he) want one of thy posteritie vpon the throne of Israel.

5 Na e mohio ana hoki koe ki ta Ioapa tama a Teruia i mea ai ki ahau, ki tana i mea ai ki nga rangatira ope tokorua o Iharaira, ki a Apanere tama a Nere, ki a Amaha tama a Ietere, i patua ra e ia, a whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai i te wa o te rangimarie, whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai ki tona whitiki i tona hope, ki ona hu i ona waewae.

Thou knowest also what Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captaines of the hostes of Israel, vnto Abner the sonne of Ner, and vnto Amasa the sonne of Iether: whome he slewe, and shed blood of battell in peace, and put the blood of warre vpon his girdle that was about his loynes, and in his shooes that were on his feete.

6 Na kia rite tau e mea ai ki tau i matau ai, a kaua e tukua tona upoko hina kia heke atu ki te rua i runga i te rangimarie. (Sheol h7585)

Doe therefore according to thy wisdome, and let thou not his hoare head go downe to the graue in peace. (Sheol h7585)

7 Kia puta ia tou aroha ki nga tama a Paratirai Kireari, kia uru hoki ratou ki te hunga e kai ana ki tau tepu: i pera hoki ratou, i whakatau ki ahau i toku rerenga i tou tuakana, i a Apoharama.

But shew kindnes vnto the sonnes of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among them that eate at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.

8 Na kei a koe na a Himei tama a Kera o Pineamine, o Pahurimi, tera i kanga ra ki ahau, kino atu te kanga, i te ra i haere ai ahau ki Mahanaima: otiia i haere mai ki ahau ki raro, ki Horano ki te whakatau i ahau, a oatitia ana a Ihowa e ahau ki a i a; i mea ahau, E kore ahau e whakamate i a koe ki te hoari.

And beholde, with thee is Shimei the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, of Bahurim, which cursed mee with an horrible curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but hee came downe to meete me at Iorden, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not slay thee with the sword.

9 Na kaua ia e meinga he harakore, he tangata mohio hoki koe, a e matau ana ki tau e mea ai ki a ia; engari kia heke tona upoko hina ki te rua i runga i te toto. (Sheol h7585)

But thou shalt not count him innocent: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to doe vnto him: therefore thou shalt cause his hoare head to goe downe to the graue with blood. (Sheol h7585)

10 Na moe ana a Rawiri ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri.

So Dauid slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid.

11 Ko nga ra i kingi ai a Rawiri ki a Iharaira, e wha tekau tau: e whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Heperona, e toru tekau ma toru ano nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama.

And the dayes which Dauid reigned vpon Israel, were fourtie yeeres: seuen yeeres reigned he in Hebron, and thirtie and three yeeres reigned he in Ierusalem.

12 Na noho ana a Horomona i runga i te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa, a u rawa tona kingitanga.

Then sate Salomon vpon the throne of Dauid his father, and his kingdome was stablished mightily.

13 Na ka haere a Aronia tama a Hakiti ki a Patehepa whaea o Horomona. A ka mea tera, I haere mai ranei koe i runga i te pai? A ka mea ia, I runga ano i te pai.

And Adonijah the sonne of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon: and she saide, Commest thou peaceably? And hee said, Yea.

14 A i mea ano ia, He kupu taku ki a koe. A ka mea tera, Korero.

He said moreouer, I haue a sute vnto thee. And she sayd, Say on.

15 Na ka mea ia, E mohio ana koe, i ahau te kingitanga, i anga mai ano nga kanohi o Iharaira katoa ki ahau hei kingi: heoi kua kauparea ketia nei te kingitanga, a riro ana i toku teina: nona hoki, na Ihowa mai.

Then he said, Thou knowest that the kingdome was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reigne: howbeit the kingdome is turned away, and is my brothers: for it came to him by the Lord.

16 Na kotahi tenei tono aku ki a koe: kaua e whakakahoretia taku. A ka mea tera ki a ia, Korero.

Nowe therefore I aske thee one request, refuse me not. And she said vnto him, Say on.

17 Na ka mea ia, Tena, korero ki a Kingi Horomona, e kore hoki ia e whakakahore ki tau, kia homai e ia a Apihaka Hunami hei wahine maku.

And he sayd, Speake, I pray thee, vnto Salomon ye King, (for he will not say thee nay) that he giue me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

18 Na ka mea a Patehepa, E pai ana, me korero tau e ahau ki te kingi.

And Bath-sheba sayd, Well, I will speake for thee vnto the King.

19 Heoi haere ana a Patehepa ki a Kingi Horomona ki te korero ki a ia i ta Aronia. A whakatika ana te kingi ki te whakatau ki a ia, piko ana ki a ia, a ka noho iho ano ki tona torona; a ka meinga e ia kia whakaturia he torona mo te whaea o te kingi, a noho ana tera ki tona ringa matau.

Bath-sheba therefore went vnto King Salomon, to speake vnto him for Adonijah: and the King rose to meete her, and bowed himselfe vnto her, and sate downe on his throne: and he caused a seate to be set for the Kings mother, and she sate at his right hand.

20 Katahi ka mea ia, Kotahi tenei mea iti hei tononga maku ki a koe: kaua taku e whakakahoretia. A ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Tonoa, e toku whaea; e kore hoki ahau e whakakahore ki tau.

Then she sayd, I desire a small request of thee, say me not nay. Then the King sayde vnto her, Aske on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

21 A ka mea tera, Kia hoatu a Apihaka Hunami hei wahine ma tou tuakana, ma Aronia.

She sayd then, Let Abishag the Shunammite be giuen to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

22 Na ka whakahoki a Kingi Horomona, ka mea ki tona whaea, He aha i tonoa ai e koe a Apihaka Hunami ma Aronia? Tonoa ano hoki te kingitanga mona; ko ia hoki toku tuakana; mona, mo Apiatara tohunga, mo Ioapa tama a Teruia.

But King Salomon answered and sayd vnto his mother, And why doest thou aske Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? aske for him the kingdome also: for he is mine elder brother, and hath for him both Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah.

23 Katahi ka oatitia a Ihowa e Kingi Horomona, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e te Atua ki ahau, me tetahi atu mea ano, mehemea ehara i te kupu whakamate mona ano tenei i korerotia nei e Aronia.

Then King Salomon sware by the Lord, saying, God doe so to me and more also, if Adoniiah hath not spoken this worde against his owne life.

24 Tena ra, e ora ana a Ihowa i whakapumau nei i ahau, i whakanoho nei i ahau ki te torona o Rawiri, o toku papa, i mea nei hoki i tetahi whare moku, i te pera me tana i korero ai, ko aianei pu mate ai a Aronia.

Now therefore as ye Lord liueth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of Dauid my father, who also hath made me an house, as he promised, Adoniiah shall surely die this day.

25 Na ka tonoa e Kingi Horomona a Penaia tama a Iehoiara; a rere ana tera ki runga ki a ia, na kua mate.

And King Salomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and hee smote him that he dyed.

26 Na ka mea te kingi ki te tohunga ki a Apiatara, Haere ki Anatoto, ki au mara; e tika ana hoki te mate mou: otiia e kore ahau e whakamate i a koe i tenei ra, no te mea nau i mau te aaka a te Ariki, a Ihowa, i mua i a Rawiri, i toku papa, i mate a no hoki koe i nga mate katoa o toku papa.

Then the King sayd vnto Abiathar the Priest, Go to Anathoth vnto thine owne fieldes: for thou art worthy of death: but I will not this day kill thee, because thou barest the Arke of the Lord God before Dauid my father, and because thou hast suffered in all, wherein my father hath bene afflicted.

27 Heoi peia ana a Apiatara e Horomona i te mahi tohunga ki a Ihowa; kia tutuki ai te kupu a Ihowa i korero ai ki Hiro mo te whare o Eri.

So Salomon cast out Abiathar from being Priest vnto the Lord, that he might fulfill the wordes of the Lord, which he spake against the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28 Na ka tae te rongo ki a Ioapa: i anga hoki a Ioapa ki te whai i a Aronia, engari kahore i tahuri ki a Apoharama. Na rere ana a Ioapa ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, kei te pupuri i nga haona o te aata.

Then tidings came to Ioab: (for Ioab had turned after Adoniiah, but he turned not after Absalom) and Ioab fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the hornes of the altar.

29 A ka korerotia ki a Kingi Horomona, Kua rere a Ioapa ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, na, kei te taha o te aata. Katahi ka unga a Penaia tama a Iehoiara e Horomona, a ka mea ia, Haere, e rere ki runga i a ia.

And it was tolde king Salomon, that Ioab was fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and beholde, he is by the altar. Then Salomon sent Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, saying, Goe, fall vpon him.

30 Na ka tae a Penaia ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Puta mai ki waho. Ano ra ko tera, Kahore, engari kia mate ahau ki konei. Na ka whakahokia te korero e Penaia ki te kingi; i mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ioap a, ko tana tenei i whakahoki ai ki ahau.

And Benaiah came to the Tabernacle of the Lord, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the King, Come out. And he sayde, Nay, but I will die here. Then Benaiah brought the King worde againe, saying, Thus sayd Ioab, and thus he answered me.

31 Ano ra ko te kingi ki a ia, Meatia tana i korero ai; rere atu ki runga ki a ia, ka tanu i a ia; kia whakakahoretia atu ai e koe i ahau, i te whare hoki o toku papa, nga toto i whakahekea noatia e Ioapa.

And the King sayde vnto him, Doe as he hath sayd, and smite him, and bury him, that thou mayest take away the blood, which Ioab shed causelesse, from me and from the house of my father.

32 A ka whakahokia iho e Ihowa ona toto ki runga ano ki tona matenga, nana hoki i rere ki runga i nga tangata tokorua, ki nga tangata e tika ake ana, e pai ake ana i a ia, a patua iho ki te hoari, kihai ano hoki toku papa, a Rawiri i mohio, ara ki a Apanere tama a Nere, ki te rangatira o te ope o Iharaira, raua ko Amaha tama a Ietere, rangatira o te ope o Hura.

And the Lord shall bring his blood vpon his owne head: for he smote two men more righteous and better then he, and slew them with the sword, and my father Dauid knew not: to wit, Abner the sonne of Ner, captaine of the hoste of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoste of Iudah.

33 Heoi ka hoki iho o raua toto ki runga ki te matenga o Ioapa, ki runga ano ki te matenga o ona uri a ake ake; ki a Rawiri ia, ratou ko ona uri, ko tona whare, ko tona torona, ka mau ta Ihowa rongo a ake ake.

Their blood shall therefore returne vpon the head of Ioab, and on the head of his seede for euer: but vpon Dauid, and vpon his seede, and vpon his house, and vpon his throne shall there be peace for euer from the Lord.

34 Na ko te haerenga o Penaia tama a Iehoiara ki runga, a rere ana ki runga ki a ia, whakamatea iho; a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare, ki te koraha.

So Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada went vp, and smote him, and slewe him, and he was buryed in his owne house in the wildernesse.

35 A meinga ana e te kingi a Penaia tama a Iehoiara hei rangatira ope i muri i a ia; i meinga e te kingi a Haroko tohunga hei whakakapi mo Apiatara.

And the King put Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada in his roume ouer the hoste: and the King set Zadok the Priest in the roume of Abiathar.

36 Na ka tono tangata te kingi ki te karanga i a Himei, a ka mea ki a ia, Hanga he whare mou ki Hiruharama, hei reira noho ai; kaua hoki e haere atu i reira ki hea, ki hea.

Afterwarde the King sent, and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Buylde thee an house in Ierusalem, and dwell there, and depart not thence any whither.

37 Ko a te ra hoki e puta ai koe ki waho, e whiti ai i te awa i Kitirono, kia tino mohio koe, ko te mate kau mou; hei runga ano i tou matenga ou toto.

For that day that thou goest out, and passest ouer the riuer of Kidron, knowe assuredly, that thou shalt dye the death: thy blood shall be vpon thine owne head.

38 Na ka mea a Himei ki te kingi, He pai tena kupu; ka pena tau pononga me ta toku ariki, me ta te kingi i korero mai na. Na he maha nga ra i noho ai a Himeiki Hiruharama.

And Shimei sayd vnto the King, The thing is good: as my lord the King hath sayd, so wil thy seruant doe. So Shimei dwelt in Ierusalem many dayes.

39 A i te mutunga o nga tau e toru ka tahuti nga pononga tokorua a Himei ki a Akihi tama a Maaka kingi o Kata. A ka korerotia ki a Himei, Nana, ko au pononga tera, kei Kata.

And after three yeres two of the seruants of Shimei fled away vnto Achish sonne of Maachah King of Gath: and they tolde Shimei, saying, Behold, thy seruants be in Gath.

40 Na ko te whakatikanga o Himei, whakanohoia ana tana kaihe, a haere ana ki Kata, ki a Akihi, ki te rapu i ana pononga: heoi haere ana a Himei, a kawea ana mai e ia ana pononga i Kata.

And Shimei arose, and sadled his asse, and went to Gath to Achish, to seeke his seruantes: and Shimei went, and brought his seruants from Gath.

41 Na ka korerotia ki a Horomona, i haere atu a Himei i Hiruharama ki Kata, a kua hoki mai ano.

And it was tolde Salomon, that Shimei had gone from Ierusalem to Gath, and was come againe.

42 Na ka tono tangata te kingi ki te karanga i a Himei, a ka mea ki a ia, Kahore ianei koe i whakaoatitia e ahau ki a Ihowa, me taku whakaatu ano ki a koe, me taku ki atu ano, Ko te ra e puta ai koe ki waho, e haere ai ki hea ranei, ki hea ranei, k ia tino mohio koe, ko te mate kau mou? I mea mai ano koe ki ahau, He pai te kupu i rongo ai ahau.

And the King sent and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Did I not make thee to sweare by the Lord, and protested vnto thee, saying, That day that thou goest out, and walkest any whither, knowe assuredly that thou shalt dye the death? And thou saydest vnto mee, The thing is good, that I haue heard.

43 He aha ra koe te pupuri ai i te oati a Ihowa, i te whakahau i whakahaua ai koe e ahau?

Why then hast thou not kept the othe of the Lord, and the commandement wherewith I charged thee?

44 I mea ano te kingi ki a Himei, E mohio ana koe, e mohio ana ano tou ngakau, ki te kino katoa, ki tau i mea ai ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri. Na ka whakahokia nei e Ihowa tou kino ki runga ki tou matenga:

The King sayde also to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickednes whereunto thine heart is priuie, that thou diddest to Dauid my father: the Lord therefore shall bring thy wickednesse vpon thine owne head.

45 Ka manaakitia ia a Kingi Horomona, ka pumau tonu ano te torona o Rawiri i te aroaro o Ihowa a ake ake.

And let King Salomon be blessed, and the throne of Dauid stablished before the Lord for euer.

46 Heoi ka whakahau te kingi ki a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, haere ana tera ki waho, rere ana ki runga ki a ia, na kua mate. Na kua pumau te kingitanga i te ringa o Horomona.

So the King comanded Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada: who went out and smote him that he dyed. And the kingdome was established in the hand of Salomon.
