1 Hamuera 13

1 E toru tekau nga tau o Haora ka kingi ia; a e rua ona tau e kingi ana mo Iharaira.

[was] a son of (Thirty *X*) year[s] Saul when became king he (and forty *X*) 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.

And he chose for himself Saul three thousand from Israel and they were with Saul two thousand at Micmash and in [the] hill country of Beth-el and one thousand they were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin and [the] rest of the people he sent away each man to tents his.

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 he attacked Jonathan [the] garrison of [the] Philistines which [was] at Geba and they heard [the] Philistines and Saul he gave a blast on the trumpet in all the land saying let them hear the Hebrews.

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 they heard saying he has attacked Saul [the] garrison of [the] Philistines and also it has made itself odious Israel with the Philistines and they were summoned the people after Saul 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 they gathered - to fight with Israel thirty thousand chariot[s] and six thousand horsemen and a people like the sand which [is] on [the] shore of the sea for multitude and they came up and they encamped at Micmash [the] east of Beth Aven.

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 everyone of Israel they saw that it was distress to it for it was hard pressed the people and they hid themselves the people in caves and in thickets and in cliffs and in underground chambers and in cisterns.

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 Hebrews they passed over the Jordan [the] land of Gad and Gilead and Saul still he [was] at Gilgal and all the people they trembled after him.

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 waited *Q(K)*) seven days to the appointed time which Samuel and not he had come Samuel Gilgal and it scattered the people from with 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 he said Saul bring near to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he offered up 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 was when finished he to offer up the burnt offering and there! Samuel [was] coming and he went out Saul to meet him to bless 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 he said Samuel what? have you done and he said Saul if I saw that it was scattered the people from with me and you not you had come to [the] appointed time of the days and [the] Philistines [were] gathering Micmash.

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 now they will come down [the] Philistines against me Gilgal and [the] face of Yahweh not I have entreated and I forced myself and I offered up 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 he said Samuel to Saul you have acted foolishly not you have kept [the] commandment of Yahweh God your which he commanded you for now he established Yahweh kingdom your to Israel until perpetuity.

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.

And now kingdom your not it will endure he has sought Yahweh for himself a man according to own heart his and he has appointed him Yahweh to ruler over people his for not you have kept [that] which he commanded you Yahweh.

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 he arose Samuel and he went up from Gilgal (and he went on way his and the rest of the people it went up after Saul to meet [the] people [of] the battle and they went from Gilgal *X*) Gibeah of Benjamin and he mustered Saul the people who were found with him about six hundred man.

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 son his and the people which was found with them [were] remaining in Geba of Benjamin and [the] Philistines they encamped in Micmash.

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 it came out the destroyer from [the] camp of [the] Philistines three companies the company one it turned to [the] direction of Ophrah to [the] land of Shual.

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 the company one it turned [the] direction of Beth Horon and the company one it turned [the] direction the border which looks down over [the] valley of Zeboim the wilderness towards.

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.

And a craftsman not he was found in all [the] land of Israel for (they said *Q(K)*) [the] Philistines lest they should make the Hebrews a sword or a spear.

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.

And they went down all Israel the Philistines to sharpen each man plowshare his and mattock his and axe his and plowshare his.

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 it was the charge two thirds of a shekel for the plowshares and for the mattocks and for three fork and for the axes and to make straight the goad[s].

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.

And it was on a day of battle and not it was found a sword and a spear in [the] hand of any of the people which [was] with Saul and with Jonathan and it was found to Saul and to Jonathan son his.

23 Na ka haere nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini ki te whakawhitinga atu o Mikimaha.

And it came out [the] garrison of [the] Philistines to [the] pass of Micmash.
