2 Hamuera 5

1 Katahi ka haere nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ki a Rawiri, ki Heperona, a ka korero, ka mea, Tenei matou he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 A, i mua ake nei, i te mea ko Haora to matou kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei rangatira mo Iharaira.

Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

3 Na ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, a ka whakaritea he kawenata e te kingi, e Rawiri, ki a ratou ki Heperona, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira.

The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel.

4 E toru tekau nga tau o Rawiri i tona meatanga hei kingi, a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 E whitu nga tau e ono nga marama i kingi ai ia i roto i a Hura ki Heperona: e toru tekau ma toru nga tau i kingi ai ia i roto i a Iharaira katoa raua ko Hura ki Hiruharama.

In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.

6 Na ka haere te kingi ratou ko ana tangata ki Hiruharama, ki te tu ki nga Iepuhi e noho ana i taua whenua, nana ra te korero ki a Rawiri, te mea, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei ki te kahore koe e pei i nga matapo, i nga kopa: hua noa e kore e taea a tu a reira e Rawiri.

And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.

7 He ahakoa ra riro ana i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa hoki tera o Rawiri.

But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.

8 I mea hoki a Rawiri i taua ra, Ko te tangata mana e patu nga Iepuhi, kia taea rawatia e ia te rerenga wai, ka patu ai i nga kopa me nga matapo e kinongia nei e te wairua o Rawiri. No reira i mea ai ratou, Tera nga matapo me nga kopa; e kore ia e tomo mai ki te whare.

For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.

9 Na ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa, a huaina ana a reira, ko te pa o Rawiri. I hanga ano e Rawiri a tawhio noa, o Miro mai ano a haere whakaroto.

And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.

10 Na ka tino nui haere a Rawiri; i a ia ano a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.

And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.

11 Na ka unga he karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi rakau, me nga kaimahi o nga kohatu whare; a na ratou i hanga he whare mo Rawiri.

And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.

12 Na ka mohio a Rawiri kua whakapumautia ia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira, a kua whakanuia e ia tona kingitanga, he whakaaro hoki ki tana iwi, ki a Iharira.

And David knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.

13 Na ka tango ano a Rawiri i etahi wahine iti mana, me etahi wahine tupu i Hiruharama, i muri i tona haerenga mai i Heperona. Na ka whanau ano he tama, he tamahine ma Rawiri.

And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:

14 Ko nga ingoa enei o ana i whanau ki Hiruharama; ko Hamua, ko Hopapa, ko Natana, ko Horomona,

And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua; ko Nepeke, ko Iapai;

And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,

16 Ko Erihama, ko Eriara, ko Eriperete.

And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.

17 A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua whakawahia a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri, a ka rongo a Rawiri, na haere ana ia ki te pourewa.

And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.

18 Na kua tae mai nga Pirihitini, kua tohatoha i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.

And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.

19 Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki runga ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Ka mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, Haere, ka tino hoatu hoki e ahau nga Pirihitini ki tou ringa.

And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

20 Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri ki Paara Peratimi, patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea ia, Pakaru ana i a Ihowa oku hoariri i toku aroaro, koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, ko Paara Peratimi.

And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.

21 I mahue ano i a ratou a ratou whakapakoko i reira, a maua atu ana e Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata.

And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.

22 Na ka haere ake ano nga Pirihitini, a tohatoha ana i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.

And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.

23 Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, a ka mea mai ia, Kaua e haere ki runga; engari me haere awhio atu ki muri i a ratou, ka whakaputa ai ki a ratou i te ritenga atu o nga rakau maperi.

And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees.

24 A ka rangona e koe he haruru haere i nga kouru o nga maperi, ko reira koe korikori ai; no te mea ko te haerenga atu tena o Ihowa i tou aroaro ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.

And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines.

25 Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini i Kepa a tae noa koe ki Katere.

And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
