< 1 Hamuera 17 >
1 Na kua huihui nga Pirihitini i a ratou ope ki te whawhai, a ka whakaminea ki Hokoho o Hura, noho ana i waenganui o Hokoho, o Ateka, i Epeheramime.
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
2 I huihui ano a Haora ratou ko nga tangata o Iharaira, i noho ki te raorao o Eraha; a ka whakatakoto i a ratou ngohi mo te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini.
And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Na i runga nga Pirihitini i te maunga i tenei taha e tu ana, me Iharaira i te maunga i tera taha e tu ana: he wharua hoki i waenganui o ratou.
And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
4 Na ko te putanga o tetahi tangata, he papatu, i roto i te puni o nga Pirihitini, ko tona ingoa, ko Koriata, no Kata, e ono whatianga kotahi hoki whanganga a te ringa tona roa.
And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
5 A he parahi te potae o tona matenga, he pukupuku unahi hoki tona kakahu: ko te taimaha o te pukupuku e rima mano hekere parahi.
And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
6 He whakapuru tao parahi kei ona waewae, a i ona pokohiwi he timata parahi.
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
7 Rite tonu hoki ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu te kakau o tana taora; na, ko te taimaha o te tete o tana taoroa e ono rau hekere rino: i mua ano i a ia e haere ana te kaimau o tana whakangungu rakau.
And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
8 Na ka tu ia, a ka karanga ki nga ngohi a Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou i puta mai ai ki te whakatakoto i a koutou ngohi: ehara ianei ahau i te Pirihitini, ko koutou he pononga na Haora? whiriwhiria he tangata ma koutou, a kia heke ih o ia ki ahau.
And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
9 Ki te kaha ia ki te whawhai ki ahau, ki te patu i ahau, na ko matou hei pononga ma koutou: ki te kaha ia ko ahau i a ia, ki te patu i a ia, na hei pononga koutou ma matou, a me mahi koutou ki a matou.
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall smite me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and smite him, ye shall be our servants, and serve us.
10 I mea ano taua Pirihitini, Tenei taku whakatara inaianei mo nga ngohi a Iharaira; homai he tangata ki ahau kia whawhai maua.
And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
11 A, i te rongonga o Haora ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki enei kupu a te Pirihitini, hopi noa iho ratou, nui atu te wehi.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
12 Na, he tama a Rawiri na taua Eparati o Peterehema Hura, ko Hehe nei tona ingoa, tokowaru hoki ana tama: a i nga ra o Haora kua koroheketia taua tangata i roto i nga tangata.
[And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men in the days of Saul. ]
13 Na, tokotoru nga tama a Hehe, ko nga kaumatua, i haere, i aru i a Haora ki te pakanga: ko nga ingoa enei o ana tama tokotoru i haere nei ki te pakanga, ko Eriapa te matamua, ko to muri iho i a ia ko Apinarapa, a ko Hamaha te tuatoru.
[And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
14 Ko Rawiri hoki to muri rawa: na aru ana nga mea kaumatua tokotoru i a Haora.
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 Na haere ai a Rawiri, a ka hoki atu i a Haora ki te tiaki i nga hipi a tona papa i Peterehema.
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
16 Na i te ata, i te ahiahi, ka whakatata mai taua Pirihitini, ka whakaatu i a ia, e wha tekau nga ra.
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
17 Na ka mea a Hehe ki tana tama, ki a Rawiri, Tena, maua atu tetahi wahi o tenei witi pahuhu, kia kotahi epa, ma ou tuakana, me enei taro kotahi tekau, rere atu ki te puni, ki ou tuakana;
[And Jessae said to David, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to thy brothers. ]
18 Maua atu hoki enei tiihi kotahi tekau ki to ratou rangatira mano, ka tirotiro atu kei te pehea ou tuakana, ka tango mai ai i a ratou tohu.
[And thou shalt carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and thou shalt see how thy brethren fare, and learn what they want. ]
19 Na i te raorao o Eraha a Haora me ratou, me nga tangata katoa hoki o Iharaira e whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini.
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
20 Na ka maranga wawe a Rawiri i te ata, tukua atu ana e ia nga hipi ki te kaitiaki, a mauria ana aua mea e ia, haere ana; pera ana ia me ta Hehe i whakahau ai ki a ia. A, no tona taenga ki te parepare e haere ana te ope ki te whawhai, e hamama ana, mo te whai.
[And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
21 Kua oti hoki i a Iharaira ratou ko nga Pirihitini nga ngohi te whakatakoto, tenei ngohi hei whawhai ki tera ngohi.
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
22 Na tukua ana e Rawiri tana pikaunga ki te ringa o te kaitiaki o nga pikaunga, a rere ana ki te taua, ka tae, ka oha ki ona tuakana.
[And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
23 I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, na ko taua papatu, ko te Pirihitini o Kata, ko Koriata tona ingoa, e haere mai ana i roto i nga ngohi a nga Pirihitini, a ka korero ko aua korero ra ano, a ka rongo a Rawiri.
[And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
24 A, i te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i taua tangata, rere ana ratou i tona aroaro, a nui atu to ratou wehi.
[And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
25 Na ka mea nga tangata o Iharaira, I kite ranei koutou i taua tangata i haere mai nei? He pono he whakatara mo Iharaira i haere mai ai ia: na, ko te tangata e patua ai ia, nui atu nga taonga e homai e te kingi ki a ia, ka homai ano e ia tana tama hine ki a ia, ka whakarangatiratia ano te whare o tona papa i roto i a Iharaira.
[And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall smite him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
26 Na ka korero a Rawiri ki nga tangata e tu ana i tona taha, ka mea, Ka peheatia te tangata e patua ai tenei Pirihitini, e mutu ai te tawai o Iharaira? ko wai hoki tenei Pirihitini kokotikore i whakatara ai ia ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora?
[and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall smite that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
27 Na ka penei te whakahoki a te iwi ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Ka pera ano te hanga ki te tangata, e patua ai ia.
[And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall smite him. ]
28 A, no te rongonga o Eriapa, o tona tuakana matamua, i a ia e korero ana ki aua tangata, ko te tino muranga o te riri o Eriapa ki a Rawiri, ka mea ia He aha koe i haere mai ai? i tukua e koe ki a wai aua hipi torutoru ra i te koraha? e mohio ana ahau ki tou whakapehapeha, ki te kino ano hoki o tou ngakau, he matakitaki hoki i te whawhai i haere mai ai koe ki raro nei.
[And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why hast thou thus come down, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart, for thou art come down to see the battle. ]
29 Na ka mea a Rawiri, I aha koia ahau? Kahore ranei he take?
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
30 Na ka tahuri atu ia i a ia ki tetahi atu, a ka korero atu ko aua kupu ano; a rite tonu ki te kupu tuatahi te kupu i whakahokia mai e te iwi ki a ia.
[And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
31 A, no ka rangona nga kupu i korerotia e Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou ki a Haora; a ka tono ia kia tikina ia.
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
32 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Kei hopi te ngakau o tetahi ki a ia: ma tau pononga e haere ki te whawhai ki tenei Pirihitini.
And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray thee, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: thy servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
33 Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, E kore e taea e koe te haere ki tenei Pirihitini whawhai ai: he tamariki nei hoki koe, he tangata hapai patu ia no tona tamarikitanga ake.
And Saul said to David, Thou wilt not in anywise be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for thou art a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, I te tiaki tau pononga i nga hipi a tona papa; na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi raiona, o tetahi pea, kahakina atu ana he reme i roto i te kahui;
And David said to Saul, Thy servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
35 Na ka puta atu ahau ki te whai i a ia, a patua ana ia e ahau: tangohia mai ana hoki te reme i roto i tona waha; a, no tona whakatikanga mai ki ahau, hopukia ana tona kumikumi e ahau, patua iho kia mate.
then I went forth after him, and smote him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and smote him, and slew him.
36 I patua ruruatia te raiona me te pea e tau pononga; a ka rite tenei Pirihitini kokotikore ki tetahi o raua; mona i whakatara ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora.
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
37 I mea ano a Rawiri, Ma Ihowa nana nei ahau i whakaora i te wae o te raiona, i te wae o te pea, mana ahau e whakaora i te ringa o tenei Pirihitini. Ano ra ko Haora ki a Rawiri, Haere, hei a koe ano a Ihowa.
The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with thee.
38 Na ka whakakakahuria a Rawiri e Haora ki ona kakahu, i potaea ano tona matenga e ia ki te potae parahi: i whakakakahuria ano hoki e ia he pukupuku rino ki a ia.
And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
39 A whitikiria ana e Rawiri tana hoari ki waho ake o ona kakahu; ka anga, ka haere; kihai hoki i whakamatauria e ia. Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, E kore e tika taku haere i enei, kahore hoki i whakamatauria e ahau. Na whakarerea atu ana e Rawiri.
And he girt David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
40 Na ka maua atu e ia ko tana tokotoko i tona ringa; i whiriwhiria ano etahi kohatu maeneene e rima mana i roto i te awa, a whaowhina ana ki roto ki tana peke hepara, ara ki te putea; i tona ringa ano tana kotaha, na ko tona whakatatanga atu ki te Pirihitini.
And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
41 A i haere tonu mai te Pirihitini, i whakatata mai ki a Rawiri; ko te kaimau ano o tana whakangungu rakau i haere i mua i a ia.
And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
42 A, no te tirotirohanga o te Pirihitini, ka kite i a Rawiri, whakahawea ana ki a ia; he taitamariki hoki ia, he kiri puwhero, he ataahua hoki.
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
43 Na ka mea te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, He kuri ahau i haere mai ai koe me nga tokotoko ki ahau? Na, kanga iho a Rawiri e te Pirihitini ki ona atua.
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 I mea ano te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, Haere mai ki ahau, a ka hoatu e ahau ou kikokiko ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te parae.
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
45 Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki te Pirihitini, I haere mai koe ki ahau me te hoari, me te taoroa, me te timata: ko ahau ia ka haere atu nei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, o te Atua o nga taua a Iharaira, o tau i whakatara ake na.
And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied
46 Ko aianei koe tukua mai ai e Ihowa ki toku ringa, a ka patua koe e ahau, ka tangohia tou upoko i a koe, a ka hoatu aianei nga tinana o te ope o nga Pirihitini ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe mohoao o te whenua, a ka mohio te whenua katoa he Atua ano to Iharaira.
this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
47 A ka mohio tenei whakaminenga katoa, ehara te hoari, te taoroa ranei, i ta Ihowa mea hei whakaora: na Ihowa hoki te whawhai, a mana koutou e homai ki o matou ringa.
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
48 Na ka whakatika te Pirihitini, ka haere mai, ka whakatata ki te whakatutaki i a Rawiri, na ka hohoro a Rawiri, a rere ana ki te taua kia tutaki ki te Pirihitini.
And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
49 Na kua totoro iho te ringa o Rawiri ki roto ki te peke, kei te tango i tetahi kohatu i roto, piua atu ana e ia, na kua tu te rae o te Pirihitini, toremi atu te kohatu ki roto ki tona rae. Na hinga tapapa iho ana ia ki te whenua.
And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
50 Heoi he kotaha, he kohatu ta Rawiri, a hinga ana i a ia te Pirihitini, patua ana e ia, mate rawa. Otiia kahore he hoari i te ringa o Rawiri
[So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
51 Katahi ka rere a Rawiri, a tu ana i runga i te Pirihitini, na ka mau ki tana hoari, unuhia ana e ia i roto i te takotoranga, na whakamatea ana ia, a tapahia ana tona upoko ki taua hoari. A, no te kitenga o nga Pirihitini kua mate to ratou toa, w hati ana ratou.
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and slew him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
52 Na ka whakatika nga tangata o Iharaira ratou ko Hura, hamama ana, na whaia ana e ratou nga Pirihitini a tae noa koe ki te raorao, ki nga kuwaha o Ekerono. Na hinga ana nga mea i patua o nga Pirihitini i te ara ki Haaraimi a tae noa ki Kata, ki E kerono.
And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
53 Na ka hoki nga tama a Iharaira i te whai i nga Pirihitini, na kei te pahua i to ratou puni.
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
54 Na ka mau a Rawiri ki te upoko o te Pirihitini, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama: ko ana mea ia mo te patu i waiho e ia i tona teneti.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 Na, i te kitenga o Haora i a Rawiri e haere atu ana ki te tu i te Pirihitini, ka mea ia ki a Apanere, ki te rangatira ope, E Apanere, he tama na wai tena tamaiti? ka mea a Apanere, E ora ana tou wairua, e te kingi, kahore ahau e mohio.
And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As thy sould lives, O King, I know not.
56 Na ka mea te kingi, Ui atu he tama na wai taua tamaiti.
And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is.
57 Na i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka mau a Apanere ki a ia, a kawea ana ki te aroaro o Haora, me te pane ano o te Pirihitini i tona ringa.
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
58 Na ka mea a Haora ki a ia, E tama, na wai koe tamaiti? Ano ra ko Rawiri, He tama ahau na tau pononga, na Hehe o Peterehema.
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said, The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
