1 Hamuera 13
1 E toru tekau nga tau o Haora ka kingi ia; a e rua ona tau e kingi ana mo Iharaira.
When Saul had reigned one year, —and two years he reigned over Israel, —
2 Na ka whiriwhiria e Haora etahi tangata o Iharaira mana, e toru mano. A o aua mano, e rua i a Haora i Mikimaha, i Maunga Peteere, kotahi mano i a Honatana i Kipea o Pineamine; ko te nuinga ia o te iwi i tonoa atu e ia ki tona teneti, ki tona tene ti.
Saul chose for himself three thousand men out of Israel; and there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and on the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gib'ah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent away every man to his tents.
3 Na ka patua e Honatana nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i Kepa, a rongo ana nga Pirihitini. Na ka whakatangihia te tetere e Haora puta noa i te whenua katoa, a ka mea, Kia rongo nga Hiperu.
And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was at Geba', and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the cornet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear it.
4 A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa i te korero kua patua e Haora nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini, a kua whakahouhou hoki a Iharaira ki nga Pirihitini, na ka huihui te iwi ki te whai i a Haora ki Kirikara.
And all Israel heard it, saying, Saul hath smitten the outpost of the Philistines, and the Israelites also have put themselves in ill-favor with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Me nga Pirihitini hoki, i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira, e toru tekau mano nga hariata, e ono mano nga hoia eke hoiho, me nga tangata e rite ana ki te onepu i te taha o te moana te tini. Na ka haere ratou, ka noho ki Mikimaha, whaka te rawhi ti o Peteawene.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
6 I te kitenga o nga tangata o Iharaira kei roto ratou i te raru, kua pawera hoki te iwi, na piri ana te iwi i roto i nga ana, i nga wahi ururua, i runga i nga kamaka, i nga taumaihi, i roto i nga rua.
And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, [for the people were oppressed, ] then did the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in strongholds, and in pits.
7 Na tera etahi o nga Hiperu i whiti atu i Horano ki te whenua o Kara, o Kireara, Ko Haora ia, i Kirikara ano ia; a aru wehi ana te iwi katoa i a ia.
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gil'ad. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him hastily.
8 A e whitu nga ra i tatari ai ia; ko te wa hoki ia i whakaritea e Hamuera; kahore ia a Hamuera i tae ki Kirikara; a marara noa atu tona nuinga.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattering themselves from him.
9 Na ka mea a Haora, Kawea mai te tahunga tinana ki ahau, me nga whakahere mo te pai. Na whakaekea ana e ia te tahunga tinana.
And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
10 A ka oti tana tahunga tinana te whakaeke, na kua puta a Hamuera; a haere ana a Haora ki te whakatau i a ia, ki te oha ki a ia.
And it came to pass, that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 Na ka mea a Hamuera, He mahi aha tau? Ano ra ko Haora, I kite hoki ahau kua marara noa atu toku nuinga, a kahore koe i tae mai i nga ra i whakaritea, heoi e huihui ana nga Pirihitini ki Mikimaha:
And Samuel said, What hast thou done: And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering themselves from me, whereas thou camest not at the appointed day, and the Philistines are gathering themselves together at Michmash;
12 Koia ka mea ahau, Akuanei nga Pirihitini haere mai ai ki ahau ki Kirikara, a kahore ano ahau kia inoi ki a Ihowa. Na pehia ana e ahau toku ngakau, a whakaekea ana te tahunga tinana.
And I said, The Philistines will now come down unto me to Gilgal, and I have not yet made supplication unto the Lord: wherefore I forced myself, and offered the burnt-offering.
13 Na ko te kianga a Hamuera ki a Haora, He mahi kuware tau; kihai nei i pupuri i te whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua i whakahau ai ia ki a koe: penei kua whakapumautia e Ihowa aianei tou kingitanga ki a Iharaira a ake ake.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he had commanded thee; for now would the Lord have established thy government over Israel for ever.
14 Ko tenei, e kore e tu tou kingitanga: kua rapua e Ihowa tetahi tangata mana, ko ta tona ngakau i pai ai, kua oti ano ia te whakahau e Ihowa hei rangatira mo tana iwi; mou kihai i pupuri i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a koe.
But now thy government shall not endure: the Lord hath sought out for himself a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath ordained him to be chief over his people; because thou hast not kept what the Lord had commanded thee.
15 Na whakatika ana a Hamuera, a haere atu ana i Kirikara ki Kipea o Pineamine. A taua ana e Haora nga tangata i piri ki a ia; tata tonu aua tangata ki te ono rau.
And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal unto Gib'ah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were to be found with him, about six hundred men.
16 Na i Kepa o Pineamine a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana, me te hunga hoki i piri ki a raua: i Mikimaha ano nga Pirihitini e noho ana.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were to be found with them, were lying in Geba' of Benjamin; but the Philistines were encamped in Michmash.
17 Na ka puta nga kaipahua i te puni o nga Pirihitini, e toru nga ngohi: kotahi te ngohi i anga na te ara ki Opora, ki te whenua o Huara:
And the troop of freebooters went out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned into the way to 'Ophrah, unto the land of Shu'al;
18 Kotahi te ngohi i anga na te huarahi ki Petehorono: kotahi te ngohi i anga na te ara ki te rohe e aro nui ana ki te raorao o Tepoimi whaka te koraha.
And another company turned into the way to Beth-choron; and the other company turned into the way to the frontier that looketh over the valley of Zebo'im toward the wilderness.
19 Na kahore he parakimete i kitea puta noa i te whenua katoa o Iharaira: i mea hoki nga Pirihitini, Kei hanga he hoari, he tao ranei, e nga Hiperu.
Now there was no smith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, So that the Hebrews shall not make themselves swords or spears.
20 Haere ai a Iharaira katoa ki raro, ki nga Pirihitini ki te whakakoi i te hea, i te maripi o tana parau, i tana toki, i tana ko.
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plough-share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 Otiia he whaiuru ano ta ratou mo nga hea, mo nga maripi o nga parau, mo nga marau, mo nga toki, hei oro ano hoki mo nga wero kau.
And they used a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the three-pronged forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
22 Heoi i te ra o te pakanga kahore i kitea he hoari, he tao i roto i te ringa o tetahi o nga tangata a Haora raua ko Honatana: otiia i kitea ano ki a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana.
So it came to pass on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but they were found with Saul and with Jonathan his son.
23 Na ka haere nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini ki te whakawhitinga atu o Mikimaha.
And the outpost of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
