1 Hamuera 15
1 Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, I tonoa mai ahau e Ihowa ki te whakawahi i a koe hei kingi mo tana iwi, mo Iharaira: na whakarongo mai ki te reo o nga kupu a Ihowa.
And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the Lord.
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, E whakaaro ana ahau ki ta Amareke i mea ai ki a Iharaira, ki tana whanganga i a ia i te ara i tona haerenga mai i Ihipa.
Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now will I take vengeance for what Amalec did to Israel, when he met him in the way as he came up out of Egypt.
3 Na tikina, patua a Amareke, whakangaromia rawatia a ratou mea katoa, kaua hoki ratou e tohungia; engari whakamatea ngatahitia te tane me te wahine, te potiki me te mea ngote u, te kau me te hipi, te kamera me te kaihe.
And now go, and thou shalt smite Amalec and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and thou shalt not save anything of him alive, but thou shalt utterly destroy him: and thou shalt devote him and all his to [destruction], and thou shalt spare nothing belonging to him; and thou shalt slay both man and woman, and infant and suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass.
4 Na ka huihuia te iwi e Haora, a taua ana e ia ki Teraimi, e rua rau mano, he hunga haere i raro, me nga tangata hoki o Hura, kotahi tekau mano.
And Saul summoned the people, and he numbered them in Galgala, four hundred thousand regular troops, and Juda thirty thousand regular troops.
5 Na ko te haerenga atu o Haora ki te pa o Amareke, a whakatakoto pehipehi ana i roto i te awaawa.
And Saul came to the cities of Amalec, and laid wait in the valley.
6 I mea hoki a Haora ki nga Keni, Whakatika, mawehe atu, haere ki raro i roto i nga Amareki, kei huna tahitia koe e ahau me ratou; i puta hoki ta koutou atawhai ki nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira i to ratou haerenga mai i Ihipa. Heoi ka mawehe nga Ke ni i roto i a Amareki.
And Saul said to the Kinite, Go, and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put thee with them; for thou dealedst mercifully with the children of Israel when they went up out of Egypt. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7 Na tukitukia ana e Haora nga Amareki i Hawira atu a tae noa koe ki Huru, ki te ritenga atu o Ihipa.
And Saul smote Amalec from Evilat to Sur fronting Egypt.
8 Hopukia oratia ana hoki e ia a Akaka kingi o Amareke, ko te iwi katoa hoki i whakangaromia rawatia e ia ki te mata o te hoari.
And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive, and he slew all the people and Hierim with the edge of the sword.
9 Otiia i tohungia e Haora ratou ko te iwi a Akaka, me nga mea papai o nga hipi, o nga kau, o nga mea momona hoki, me nga reme, me nga mea pai katoa, kihai hoki i aro ki te whakangaro i a ratou: engari nga mea e whakaparahakotia ana, e rukea ana, k o ena a ratou i whakangaro ai.
And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed.
10 Katahi ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, ka mea,
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 Kua puta ke oku whakaaro i meinga ai e ahau a Haora hei kingi; kua hoki atu hoki ia i te whai i ahau, a kihai hoki i whakamana i aku kupu. Na ka oho te riri a Hamuera; a pau katoa taua po i a ia e tangi ana ki a Ihowa.
I have repented that I have made Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.
12 Na ka maranga wawe a Hamuera i te ata ki te whakatau i a Haora; a ka korerotia ki a Hamuera, ka meatia, I te mai a Haora ki Karamere, na whakaturia ana e ia he tohu mana, a haere awhio atu ana, kua pahemo atu, kua riro ki raro, ki Kirikara.
And Samuel rose early and went to meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his chariot, and came down to Galgala to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalec.
13 Na ka tae atu a Hamuera ki a Haora, a ka mea a Haora ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa, kua whakamana e ahau te kupu a Ihowa.
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [art] thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said.
14 Na ka mea a Hamuera, He aha koia tenei tangi o nga hipi i roto nei i oku taringa, me te tangi o nga kau e rongo nei ahau?
And Samuel said, What then [is] the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear?
15 Ano ra ko Haora, He mea mau mai e ratou i nga Amareki: i tohungia hoki e te iwi nga mea papai o nga hipi, o nga kau, hei mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; a ko te toenga, whakangaromia iho e matou.
And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.
16 Katahi ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, Kati, kia korerotia e ahau ki a koe ta Ihowa i mea ai ki ahau i tenei po. Ano ra ko tera, Korero.
And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on.
17 A ka mea a Hamuera, I a koe e iti ana ki tou whakaaro, kihai ianei koe i meinga hei upoko mo nga iwi o Iharaira, i whakawahia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira?
And Samuel said to Saul, Art thou not little in his eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? and [yet] the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18 Na ka tono a Ihowa i a koe kia haere, ka mea, Tikina, whakangaromia te hunga hara, nga Amareki, whawhai hoki ki a ratou a poto noa ratou.
And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go, and utterly destroy: thou shalt slay the sinners against me, [even] the Amalekites; and thou shalt war against them until thou have consumed them.
19 He aha koe te whakarongo ai ki te reo o Ihowa, i aurara atu ai ki nga taonga parakete, i mahi ai i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa?
And why didst not thou hearken to the voice of the Lord, but didst haste to fasten upon the spoils, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?
20 Na ka mea a Haora ki a Hamuera, Ina, i whakarongo ano ahau ki te reo o Ihowa, i haere i te ara i tonoa ai ahau e Ihowa, kua kawea mai ano hoki e ahau a Akaka kingi o Amareke; ko nga Amareki ano hoki, whakangaromia iho e ahau.
And Saul said to Samuel, Because I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalec, and I destroyed Amalec.
21 Na te iwi hoki i tango etahi o nga taonga, o nga hipi, o nga kau, nga mea tino papai o nga mea e whakangaromia ana hei mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ki Kirikara.
But the people took of the spoils the best flocks and herds [out] of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Galgal.
22 Ano ra ko Hamuera, Ki ta Ihowa, he pera ranei te ahuareka o nga tahunga tinana, o nga patunga tapu, me te whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa? Nana, pai atu te whakarongo i te patunga tapu, te ngakau mahara i te ngako o nga hipi toa.
And Samuel said, Does the Lord take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? behold, obedience [is] better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams.
23 Rite tonu hoki te tutu ki te hara makutu; te whakatuturi ki te kino, ki te karakia whakapakoko. He whakaparahako nau ki te kupu a Ihowa, ka whakaparahako hoki ia ki a koe hei kingi.
For sin is [as] divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject thee from being king over Israel.
24 Na ka ki a Haora ki a Hamuera, Kua hara ahau, i ahau i takahi nei i te kupu a Ihowa, i au kupu ano hoki: i wehi hoki ahau i te iwi, i whakarongo ki to ratou reo.
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and thy direction; for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
25 Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho toku hara, kia hoki atu taua, kia koropiko ai ahau ki a Ihowa.
And now remove, I pray thee, my sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
26 Ano ra ko Hamuera ki a Haora, E kore ahau e hoki tahi taua; he mea hoki kua whakaparahako koe ki te kupu a Ihowa, a kua whakaparahako a Ihowa ki a koe hei kingi mo Iharaira.
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn back with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel.
27 A, i te tahuritanga o Hamuera ki te haere, ka mau tera ki te pito o tona kakahu, a kua pakaru.
And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it.
28 Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a ia, Kua haea mai e Ihowa inaianei tou kingitanga i roto i a Iharaira, kua hoatu ki tou hoa e pai atu ana i a koe.
And Samuel said to him, The Lord has rent thy kingdom from Israel out of thy hand this day, and will give it to thy neighbour who is better than thou.
29 E kore ano hoki te Kaha o Iharaira e teka; e kore ano hoki e puta ke ona whakaaro; no te mea ehara ia i te tangata e puta ke ai ona whakaaro.
And Israel shall be divided to two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent.
30 Ano ra ko tera, Kua hara ahau: otiia whakahonoretia ahau aianei i te aroaro o nga kaumatua o toku iwi, i te aroaro o Iharaira, kia hoki tahi taua, kia koropiko ai ahau ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.
And Saul said, I have sinned; yet honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of Israel, and before my people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
31 Heoi hoki ana a Hamuera i muri i a Haora, a karakia ana a Haora ki a Ihowa.
So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord.
32 Katahi a Hamuera ka mea, Kawea mai ki ahau a Akaka kingi o Amareke. Na ka ata hikoi a Akaka ki a ia. A ka mea a Akaka, He pono kua pahemo ke te ngau kino a te mate.
And Samuel said, Bring me Agag the king of Amalec: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is death thus bitter?
33 Ano ra ko Hamuera, Na tau hoari i kore ai nga uri o nga wahine, ka pena ano tou whaea te urikore i roto i nga wahine. Na haua iho a Akaka e Hamuera i te aroaro o Ihowa i Kirikara.
And Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall thy mother be made childless among women: and Samuel slew Agag before the Lord in Galgal.
34 Katahi ka haere a Hamuera ki Rama; ko Haora ia i haere ki runga ki tona whare, ki Kipea o Haora.
And Samuel departed to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house at Gabaa.
35 Kihai hoki a Haora i tirotirohia e Hamuera i muri iho a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia: heoi tangihia ana a Haora e Hamuera: i puta ke ano hoki nga whakaaro o Ihowa i meinga ai e ia a Haora hei kingi mo Iharaira.
And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
