1 Kingi 20
1 Na ka huihuia tana ope katoa e Peneharara kingi o Hiria; e toru tekau ma rua nga kingi ona hoa, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata: na haere ana ia, a whakapaea ana a Hamaria, tauria ana e ia.
And Ben-Hadad king of Syria assembled all his host; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Na ka tonoa etahi karere e ia ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ki te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara,
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:
3 Ko tau hiriwa, ko tau koura, naku ena: me au wahine, me au tamariki, nga mea papai, naku ena.
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, the goodliest, are mine.
4 Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Rite tonu ki tau i mea na, e toku ariki, e te kingi: nau ahau me aku mea katoa.
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 Na ka hoki nga karere, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara, e ki ana, I tono tangata ano ahau ki a koe hei mea atu, Me homai e koe tau hiriwa, tau koura, au wahine, me au tamariki;
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-Hadad saying: I sent to thee indeed, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6 Na kia penei apopo ka tonoa atu e ahau aku tangata ki a koe, ki te rapu i roto i tou whare, i nga whare ano o au tangata; na, ko nga mea katoa e minaminatia ana e ou kanohi, tera e tangohia mai i o ratou ringa, ka maua mai.
but to-morrow about this time I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy sight, they shall put in their hand and take away.
7 Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua, a ka mea, Kia ata whakaaro koutou, kia kite kei te rapu tenei tangata i te kino: i tono tangata mai hoki ia ki ahau mo aku wahine, mo aku tamariki, mo taku hiriwa, a mo taku koura; a kihai i kaiponuhia e ahau ki a ia.
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8 Na ka mea nga kaumatua katoa, ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a ia, Kaua e whakarongo, kaua e whakaae.
And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, nor consent.
9 Katahi ia ka mea ki nga karere a Peneharara, Mea atu ki toku ariki, ki te kingi, Ko nga mea katoa i tono mai ai koe ki tau pononga i te tuatahi, ka meatia e ahau: ko tenei mea ia e kore e taea e ahau te mea. Na haere ana nga karere ki te whakahok i i te kupu.
And he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 Na ka tono tangata ano a Peneharara, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e nga atua ki ahau, me era atu mea, ki te rato i te puehu o Hamaria nga ringa o te hunga katoa e whai ana i ahau.
And Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me!
11 Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ki atu ki a ia, Kaua te tangata e whitiki ana i tona pukupuku, e whakamanamana, e pera me te tangata e wewete ana.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let not him that girdeth on boast himself as he that putteth off!
12 I te rongonga o Peneharara i tenei kupu, i a ia e inu ana, ratou ko nga kingi i roto i nga teneti, ka mea ia ki ana tangata, Whakatikaia a koutou ngohi. Na whakatikaia ana a ratou ngohi hei whawhai ki te pa.
And it came to pass when he heard this word, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the tents, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves. And they set themselves against the city.
13 Na, ka whakatata mai tetahi poropiti ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ka kite koe i tenei ope nui katoa? Nana, ka hoatu ratou e ahau aianei ki tou ringa, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
And behold, a prophet drew near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
14 A ka mea a Ahapa, Ma wai? Ano ra ko tera, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ma nga taitama o nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga. A ka mea ia, Ma wai e timata te whawhai? A ka mea tera, Mau.
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he said, Thou.
15 Na ka whakaemia e ia nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga, e rua rau e toru tekau ma rua ratou: i muri i a ratou i whakaemia ano e ia te iwi katoa, ara nga tama katoa a Iharaira, e whitu mano.
And he numbered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
16 Na puta ana ratou i te poutumarotanga. Ko Peneharara ia i te inu i roto i nga teneti, a haurangi iho, a ia me nga kingi, ara ko nga kingi e toru tekau ma rua, ona whakauru.
And they went out at noon; and Ben-Hadad drank himself drunk in the tents, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings that helped him.
17 Na ka puta tuatahi ko nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga: na ka tono tangata a Peneharara; a ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, He tangata enei kua puta mai i Hamaria.
And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-Hadad sent out, and they told him saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 Ano ra ko tera, Ki te mea he hohou rongo i puta mai ai ratou, hopukia oratia: ki te mea ano he whawhai i puta mai ai, hopukia oratia.
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19 Heoi puta ana enei ki waho o te pa, nga taitamariki o nga kawanatanga, me te ope i muri i a ratou.
And these servants of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army that followed them.
20 Na patua ana e ratou tana tangata, tana tangata; a rere ana nga Hiriani, whaia ana e Iharaira; ko Peneharara ia kingi o Hiria, i mawhiti i runga i te hioho, ratou ko nga kaieke hioho.
And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
21 Na ka puta te kingi o Iharaira, a patua iho nga hoiho me nga hariata; heoi patua ana nga Hiriani, nui atu te parekura.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Na ka haere te poropiti ki te kingi o Iharaira, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere ki te whakakaha i a koe; kia mohio hoki, kia mahara ki tau e mea ai; ka taka hoki te tau, ka whakaekea koe e te kingi o Hiria.
And the prophet drew near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and understand, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23 Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi o Hiria ki a ia, He atua maunga o ratou atua; koia ratou i kaha ai i a tatou; kia whawhai ia tatou ki a ratou i te mania, ka kaha tatou i a ratou.
And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains; therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them on the plateau, shall we not be stronger than they?
24 Na ko tenei tau e mea ai; whakawateatia atu nga kingi, tenei, tenei i tona wahi; a whakaritea etahi rangatira hei whakakapi mo ratou.
And do this: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
25 Na taua tetahi ope, kia rite ki tenei au kua hinga nei, he hoiho, he hoiho, he hariata, he hariata, a ka whawhai tatou ki a ratou ki te mania: tera tatou e kaha i a ratou. Na rongo tonu ia ki to ratou reo, a peratia ana e ia.
and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them on the plateau: shall we not be stronger than they? And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
26 Na, i te takanga o te tau, ka whakaemia e Peneharara nga Hiriani, a haere ana ki Apeke ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, that Ben-Hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Na ka taua ano nga tama a Iharaira, a ka whai kai, a ka haere ki te tu i a ratou: a noho ana nga tama a Iharaira i to ratou ritenga atu, koia ano kei nga kahui iti e rua o nga kuao koati; ko nga Hiriani ia, kapi ana te whenua i a ratou.
And the children of Israel were numbered and victualled, and they went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the land.
28 Na ka haere te tangata a te Atua, a ka korero ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua mea nei nga Hiriani, He atua maunga a Ihowa, ehara ia i te atua raorao, na ka hoatu e ahau tenei ope nui katoa ki tou ringa, a ka mohio k outou ko Ihowa ahau.
And the man of God drew near, and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will give all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
29 Na noho ana ratou, tetahi, tetahi, anga atu, anga mai, e whitu nga ra. A i te whitu o nga ra ka pipiri ki te whawhai. Na patua iho o nga Hiriani e nga tama a Iharaira kotahi rau mano i taua ra kotahi.
And they encamped one over against the other seven days; and it came to pass that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel smote of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 Ko nga morehu ia i rere ki Apeke, ki roto ki te pa; a horo iho ana te taiepa ku runga ki nga mano e rua tekau ma whitu o nga morehu; ko Peneharara ia i rere, a haere ana ki roto ki te pa ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa.
And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men of them that were left. And Ben-Hadad fled, and came into the city, [from] chamber to chamber.
31 Na ka mea ana tangata ki a ia, Nana, kua rongo matou he kingi tohu tangata nga kingi o te whare o Iharaira: tena, kia maka iho e matou he kakahu taratara ki o matou hope, me etahi taura ki o matou matenga, a kia haere atu ki te kingi o Iharaira: tera pea koe e whakaorangia e ia.
And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save thy life.
32 Heoi whitikiria ana e ratou he kakahu taratara ki o ratou hope, he taura hoki ki o ratou matenga; a ka haere ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, E mea ana tau pononga a Peneharara, Tena ra, kia ora ahau. A ka mea tera, Kei te ora ano ranei ia? ko to ku tuakana ia.
And they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-Hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Na i ata whakarongo aua tangata ki tana, a hohoro tonu te hopu i tona whakaaro, a ka mea, Ko tou tuakana ra, a Peneharara. Ano ra ko ia, Haere koutou, tikina atu ia. Heoi ka puta mai a Peneharara ki a ia, a ka mea tera kia eke ia ki te hariata.
And the men took it as a good omen, and hastened to catch what came from him, and they said, Thy brother Ben-Hadad. ...And he said, Go, bring him. And Ben-Hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Na ka mea a Peneharara ki a ia, Ko nga pa i tangohia e toku papa i tou papa me whakahoki atu e ahau; a mau e hanga etahi huanui mau ki Ramahiku kia rite ki a toku papa i hanga ai ki Hamaria. Ano ra ko Ahapa, Me tuku koe e ahau i runga i tenei ka wenata. Na, whakaritea ana he kawenata e raua, a tukua ana ia.
And [Ben-Hadad] said to him, The cities that my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I [said Ahab] will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35 Na ka mea tetahi tangata o nga tama a nga poropiti ki tona hoa, he mea ki na Ihowa, Tena, patua ahau. Heoi kihai taua tangata i pai ki te patu i a ia.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
36 Katahi ka mea tera ki a ia, i te mea kihai koe i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, na, mawehe atu ana koe i konei, ka patua koe e te raiona. A, no te haerenga atu i tona taha, ka tutaki tetahi raiona ki a ia, patua iho.
Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him.
37 Katahi ka tutaki ia ki tetahi atu tangata, a ka mea, Tena, patua ahau. Na ka patu taua tangata i a ia, he patu i motu ai.
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him violently, and wounded [him].
38 Heoi haere ana taua poropiti, a tu ana i te ara, he whanga i te kingi; i whakaahua ke hoki i a ia, ko tona tipare ki tona mata.
And the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a sash over his eyes.
39 A, i te kingi e haere ana, ka karanga ia ki te kingi, ka mea, I haere tau pononga ki waenganui o te whawhai: na ko te pekanga mai o tetahi tangata, kawea mai ana e ia tetahi tangata ki ahau, ka mea, Tiakina tenei tangata: ki te mea ka riro ia, k o koe ka mate hei ritenga mo tona matenga: me utu ranei e koe kia kotahi taranata hiriwa.
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40 A, i tau pononga e mea noa ana i tenei mea, i tera mea, kua riro tera. Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Me pena te tikanga mou; kua tika mai na i a koe.
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [is] thy judgment: thyself hast decided [it].
41 Na hohoro tonu te tango a tera i te tipare i ona kanohi, a ka mohio te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia ko tetahi o nga poropiti.
Then he hastily took the sash away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him, that he was of the prophets.
42 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua tukua atu nei i roto i tou ringa taku tangata i tukua putia atu nei e ahau ki te mate; na ko tou matenga hei ritenga mo tona matenga, me tou iwi hei utu mo tona iwi.
And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man that I had devoted to destruction, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 Na pouri ana, riri ana, te kingi o Iharaira, a haere ana ki tona whare; tae tonu atu ki Hamaria.
And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.
