2 Hamuera 8

1 Na, muri iho ka patua nga Pirihitini e Rawiri, a hinga ana ratou i a ia: a tangohia ana e Rawiri a Metekeama i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

2 I patua ano e ia a Moapa, a ruritia ana ratou ki te aho; a meinga ana ratou kia takoto ki te whenua: na e rua nga aho i ruritia e ia mo te whakamate, kotahi tino aho mo te whakaora. Na ka riro nga Moapi hei pononga ma Rawiri, hei kaihomai hakari.

And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

3 I patua ano e Rawiri a Hareretere tama a Rehopo kingi o Topa, i tona haerenga ki te whakahoki mai i tona rohe i te awa, i Uparati.

And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.

4 Na kotahi mano ana hariata i riro mai i a Rawiri, e whitu rau hoki nga hoia eke hoiho, e rua tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro. Na whakangongea ana e Rawiri nga hoiho o nga hariata katoa; i whakatoea ia etahi mo nga hariata kotahi rau.

And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

5 A, no te haerenga mai o nga Hiriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru ki a Hararetere kingi o Topa, patua iho e Rawiri o nga Hiriani e rua tekau ma rua mano tangata.

And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.

6 I whakanohoia ano e Rawiri etahi hoia pupuri ki Hiria o Ramahiku: a ka waiho nga Hiriani hei pononga homai hakari ma Rawiri. Na whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.

And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

7 I tangohia ano e Rawiri nga pukupuku koura a nga tangata a Hararetere, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama.

And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

8 A nui atu te parahi i tangohia e Kingi Rawiri i Petaha, i Perotai, i nga pa o Hararetere.

And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.

9 A, i te rongonga o Toi kingi o Hamata kua patua e Rawiri te ope katoa a Hararetere,

And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

10 Katahi ka tono a Toi i a Iorama, i tana tama ki a Kingi Rawiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia; mona i whawhai ki a Hararetere, i patu hoki i a ia: he hoariri hoki a Hararetere no Toi: i te ringa ano o Iorama etahi mea hiriwa, mea k oura, mea parahi.

He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

11 Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura i whakatapua e ia, a nga iwi katoa i hinga nei i a ia;

These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —

12 A Hiria, a Moapa, a nga tamariki a Amona, a nga Pirihitini, a Amareke, me nga taonga o Hararetere tama a Rehopo, kingi o Topa.

The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 Na ka whai ingoa a Rawiri i tona hokinga mai i te patu i nga Hiriani i te Raorao Tote, ara kotahi tekau ma waru mano tangata.

And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

14 A i whakanohoia e ia etahi hoia pupuri ki Eroma; he mea whakanoho puta noa i Eroma katoa ana hoia pupuri, a ka meinga nga Eromi katoa hei pononga ma Rawiri. A whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.

And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

15 Na ko Rawiri te kingi o Iharaira katoa; a i whakarite ano a Rawiri i te whakawa, i te tika, mo tona iwi katoa.

And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

16 Ko Ioapa tama a Teruia hoki te rangatira ope, ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara.

And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;

17 Ko Haroko tama a Ahitupu, raua ko Ahimereke tama a Apiatara, nga tohunga; ko Heraia hoki te kaituhituhi;

And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

18 Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mo nga Kereti, mo nga Pereti; ko nga tama ia a Rawiri nga tino rangatira.

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
