2 Hamuera 2
1 Na, i muri iho i tenei, ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki runga, ki tetahi o nga pa o Hura? A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere. Ano ra ko Rawiri, Me haere ahau ki hea? A ka mea ia, Ki Heperona.
After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
2 Heoi haere ana a Rawiri ki reira, ratou ko ana wahine tokorua, ko Ahinoama Ietereere, raua ko Apikaira wahine a Napara Karameri.
So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
3 I mauria ano e Rawiri ona hoa, tena tangata me tona whare, tena me tona; a noho ana ratou ki nga pa o Heperona.
And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Na ka haere mai nga tangata o Hura, a whakawahia ana a Rawiri e ratou ki reira hei kingi mo te whare o Hura. A ka korerotia ki a Rawiri te korero mo nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara, na ratou i tanu a Haora.
Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
5 Na ka unga karere a Rawiri ki nga tangata o Iapehe Kirera hei mea ki a ratou, Kia manaakitia koutou e Ihowa mo tenei aroha i whakaputaina e koutou ki to koutou ariki, ara ki a Haora, mo ta koutou tanumanga i a ia.
And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
6 Na kia whakaputaina mai e Ihowa he aroha, he pono, ki a koutou; ka utua ano hoki koutou e ahau mo tenei mahi pai, mo koutou i mea i tenei mea.
Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
7 Tena ra, kia kaha o koutou ringa aianei, kia maia; kua mate hoki to koutou ariki, a Haora, kua oti ano ahau te whakawahi e te whare o Hura hei kingi mo ratou.
Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
8 Na tera kua mau a Apanere tama a Nere, te rangatira o te ope a Haora, ki a Ihipohete tama a Haora, a kua kawea mai e ia ki tawahi nei, ki Mahanaima;
But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
9 A meinga ana e ia hei kingi mo Kireara, mo nga Ahuri, mo Ietereere, mo Eparaima, mo Pineamine, mo Iharaira katoa.
And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
10 E wha tekau nga tau o Ihipohete tama a Haora, i a ia i meinga ai hei kingi mo Iharaira, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai. Ko te whare ia o Hura i whai i a Rawiri.
Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
11 Na, ko te maha o nga ra i noho ai a Rawiri ki Heperona hei kingi mo te whare o Hura, e whitu tau e ono marama.
(And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
12 Na ka haere atu a Apanere tama a Nere, ratou ko nga tangata a Ihipohete tama a Haora, i Mahanaima ki Kipeono.
And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Na ka puta atu a Ioapa tama a Teruia me nga tangata a Rawiri, a tutaki ana ratou ki te poka wai i Kipeono: na noho ana ratou, ko enei i tenei taha o te poka, a ko era i tera taha o te poka.
And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
14 Na ka mea a Apanere ki a Ioapa, Tena, kia whakatika nga tamariki ki te takaro ki to taua aroaro. Ano ra ko Ioapa, Me whakatika ratou.
Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
15 Katahi ratou ka whakatika, ka haere a tatau atu; kotahi tekau ma rua mo Pineamine, mo Ihipohete tama a Haora, a kotahi tekau ma rua o nga tangata a Rawiri.
Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
16 Na hopukia ana e ratou te matenga o tana tangata, o tana tangata, a werohia ana a ratou hoari ki te kaokao o tana tangata, o tana tangata; na, hinga ngatahi ana ratou: koia i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, ko Herekata Haturimi; koia tera i Kipe ono.
And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Na nui atu te whawhai i taua ra, a patua iho a Apanere ratou ko nga tangata o Iharaira e nga tangata a Rawiri.
And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
18 Na tokotoru nga tama a Teruia i reira, ko Ioapa, ko Apihai, ko Atahere; he wae mama hoki a Atahere, koia ano kei tetahi anaterope o te koraha.
And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
19 Na ka whai a Atahere i a Apanere; kihai hoki i peka, kihai i haere ki matau, ki maui, i a ia e whai ana i a Apanere.
And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
20 Katahi a Apanere ka titiro ki muri i a ia, a ka mea, Ko koe tena, e Atahere? A ka mea ia, Ko ahau tenei.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
21 Na ka mea a Apanere ki a ia, Peka atu koe ki tou matau, ki tou maui ranei, ka hopu ai i tetahi o nga tamariki mau, ka tango ai i ona hei kakahu o te riri mou. Otira kihai a Atahere i pai ki te peka ke atu i te whai i a ia.
Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
22 Na ka mea ano a Apanere ki a Atahere, Peka atu i te whai i ahau: he aha ahau i patu iho ai i a koe ki te whenua? me pehea hoki e ara ake ai toku mata ki tou tuakana, ki a Ioapa?
And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
23 Otira kihai ia i pai ki te peka ake: heoi werohia iho ia e Apanere ki te take o te tao ki tona puku, a puta rawa te tao i tetahi taha ona; na hinga iho ia ki taua wahi, a mate tonu iho ki reira: na tu katoa te hunga i tae mai ki te wahi i hinga ai a Atahere, i mate ai.
And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
24 Otiia ka whai a Ioapa raua ko Apihai a Apanere: a kua heke te ra i to raua taenga ki te puke o Amaha, ki tera i te ritenga atu o Kia, i te huarahi ki te koraha i Kipeono.
Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
25 Na ka huihui nga tama a Pineamine ki a Apanere, kotahi tonu to ratou ngohi, a tu ana ratou i runga i te pukepuke kotahi.
And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
26 Katahi ka karanga a Apanere ki a Ioapa, ka mea, Me kai tonu koia te hoari? kahore ano koe kia mohio he kino te tukunga iho? ahea ra koe mea ai ki te iwi ra kia hoki atu i te whai i o ratou teina?
Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
27 Na ka mea a Ioapa, E ora ana te Atua, me i kahore koe te ki mai na, ina ko a te ata ano te iwi hoki ai i te whai i tona teina, i tona teina.
And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
28 Heoi whakatangihia ana e Ioapa te tetere, a tu katoa ana te iwi, kihai ano i mea ki te whai i a Iharaira, na mutu ake ta ratou whawhai.
So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Na haere ana a Apanere ratou ko ana tangata i te mania, a pau katoa taua po, a whiti ana i Horano, haere ana a puta noa i Pitirono, tae tonu atu ki Mahanaima.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
30 Na hoki ana a Ioapa i te whai i a Apanere: a no ka huihuia e ia te iwi katoa, na kotahi tekau ma iwa o nga tangata a Rawiri i kore, me Atahere.
Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
31 E toru rau e ono tekau ia nga tangata o Pineamine, ara o nga tangata a Apanere, i patua e nga tangata a Rawiri, i mate.
But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
32 Na ka mau ratou ki a Atahere, a tanumia iho ki te tanumanga o tona papa ki Peterehema. Na haere ana a Ioapa ratou ko ana tangata a pau katoa taua po, a marama atu i a ratou i Heperona.
And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
