2 Hamuera 23
1 Na ko nga kupu whakamutunga enei a Rawiri. He kupu tenei na Rawiri tama a Hehe, he kupu hoki na te tangata i whakarewaina ki runga, na ta te Atua o Hakopa i whakawahi ai, na te kaihimene ahuareka o Iharira;
These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,
2 He kaiwhakapuaki ahau i te kupu a te wairua o Ihowa: kei toku arero tana korero.
The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.
3 I korero te Atua o Iharaira, i mea te Kamaka o Iharaira ki ahau: Ko ia te kaiwhakatakoto tikanga mo nga tangata, e whakatakoto tikanga ana i runga i te wehi ki a Ihowa,
The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.
4 Ka rite ia ki te marama o te ata ina whiti te ra, o te ata kahore nei he kapua; ki te tarutaru tupu hou e pihi ake ana i te whenua i te mea ka whiti te ra i te maonga o te ua.
Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.
5 He pono ehara toku whare i te pena i te aroaro o te Atua; heoi kua takoto tana kawenata u tonu ki ahau, rite rawa nga aha katoa, mau rawa: no te mea ko toku whakaoranga katoa tenei, ko taku hoki e whakaahuareka ai, ahakoa kahore e meinga ana e ia kia tupu.
For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.
6 Ko te hunga atuakore ia ka rite katoa ki te tataramoa e aia atu ana, e kore nei e hopukia atu e te ringa:
But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.
7 Engari ko te tangata e whakapa atu, kia kapi ia i te rino, kia mau hoki ki te kakau o te tao; a ka tahuna rawatia ratou ki te ahi i to ratou wahi.
But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.
8 Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tangata marohirohi a Rawiri, ko Iohepepahapete Takamoni, ko ia te tino rangatira; ko Arino Eteni ano ia, i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e waru, patua iho i te whakaekenga kotahi.
These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.
9 I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi, o nga hoa tokotoru o Rawiri i ta ratou whakataranga ki nga Pirihitini i huihui ki reira ki te whawhai, i te mea kua riro nga tangata o Iharaira:
And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.
10 Whakatika ana ia, a patua iho nga Pirihitini a ngenge noa tona ringa, piri noa tona ringa ki te hoari; a nui atu te wikitoria i meinga e Ihowa i taua ra; a hoki ana te iwi i muri i a ia, he hui kau i nga parakete.
He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.
11 A i muri i a ia ko Hamaha tama a Ake Harari. Na, ko te huihuinga o nga Pirihitini ki te taua, ki tetahi wahi oneone e kapi ana i te pi; a rere ana te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.
After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.
12 Heoi tu ana tera i waenganui o taua wahi, na ka mau i a ia, patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.
But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.
13 Na ka haere e toru o nga rangatira e toru tekau ki raro, a ka tae ki a Rawiri i te kotinga witi ki te ana i Aturama: a i te noho tera te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raorao i Repaima.
Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Na i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa; i Peterehema ano nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i taua wa.
And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.
15 Na ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, te ai he tangata hei kawe wai moku hei inu i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!
And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.
16 Na wahi pu ana aua toa tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha, tangohia ana, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai ia i pai ki te inu, na ringihia ana e ia hei mea ki a Ihow a.
The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,
17 A ka mea, Aue, kia meatia tenei e ahau, e Ihowa: kia inu ahau i te toto o nga tangata i haere whakamomori nei ki te mate? Na kihai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua marohirohi tokotoru.
And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.
18 Na ko Apihai teina o Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira o te tokotoru. A i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa hoki ia i roto i te tokotoru.
And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.
19 He teka ianei nona te kororia nui o te tokotoru? a meinga ana ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.
For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.
20 Na ko Penaia tama a Tehoiara, ko te tama a tetahi tangata marohirohi no Kapateere, he nui ana mahi toa, a i patua e ia nga tama tokorua a Ariare o Moapa: i haere ano hoki ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te wa o te hukarere:
And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.
21 Nana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata pakari: na he tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana; otiia haere atu ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko tana, kapohia ana e ia te tao i te ringa o te Ihipiana, a patua ana ia e ia ki tana tao ano.
And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.
22 Na Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; a i whai ingoa ia i roto i nga marohirohi tokotoru.
These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.
23 Nui ake tona kororia i to te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.
He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
