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.

And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your 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.

also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader 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.

And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for 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.

A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] 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.

he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.

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 goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”

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

And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [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.

And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”

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 dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,

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

and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] 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 king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build 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 knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of 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 again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons 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 those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

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

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 Ko Erihama, ko Eriara, ko Eriperete.

and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

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 hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,

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

and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

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 asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your 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 comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.

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

And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.

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

And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,

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 asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,

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 it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp 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 does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
