2 Samuel 1

1 After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes in Ziklag,

Na i muri iho i te matenga o Haora, i te mea kua hoki mai a Rawiri i te patunga i nga Amareki, a kua rua nga ra o Rawiri e noho ana ki Tikiraka:

2 Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

I te toru o nga ra, na ko tetahi tangata e haere mai ana i te puni i a Haora, he mea haehae ona kakahu, he oneone i runga i tona matenga: a, no tona taenga mai ki a Rawiri, ka hinga ia ki te whenua, a ka piko.

3 Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea? Ka mea tera ki a ia, I mawhiti mai ahau i te puni o Iharaira.

4 And Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead.

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, I pehea te mea ra? tena, korerotia mai ki ahau. Na ka mea ia, Kua whati te iwi i te whawhai, he tokomaha hoki o te iwi i hinga, i mate; kua mate hoki a Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana.

5 And Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead?

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I mohiotia e koe ki te aha kua mate a Haora raua ko tana tama ko Honatana?

6 Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.

Na ka mea taua tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, I tupono noa ahau ki runga i Maunga Kiripoa, na, ko Haora e okioki ana ki tana tao; na, e whai tata ana i a ia nga hariata me nga kaieke hoiho.

7 And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I.

Na, i tona tahuritanga ki muri, ka kite i ahau, a ka karanga ki ahau. Na ka mea ahau, Tenei ahau.

8 And he said vnto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

Ano ra ko ia ki ahau, Ko wai koe? Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, He Amareki ahau.

9 Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole in me.

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Tena, e tu ki toku taha, whakamatea hoki ahau, kua mau pu hoki ahau i te pouri; no te mea kei te toitu tonu te ora i roto i ahau.

10 So I came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord.

Heoi tu ana ahau ki tona taha, whakamatea ana ia e ahau; i mohio hoki ahau e kore rawa ia e ora ake i te mea ka hinga nei ia. Na tangohia ana e ahau te karauna i tona matenga, me te poroporo i tona ringa, a kawea mai ana e ahau ki konei ki toku ariki.

11 Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al the men that were with him.

Katahi a Rawiri ka mau ki ona kakahu, a haehaea ana e ia; a i pera hoki ona hoa katoa:

12 And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with the sword.

Na ka uhunga ratou, ka tangi, ka nohopuku a ahiahi noa, mo Haora, mo tana tama, mo Honatana, mo te iwi ano a Ihowa, mo te whare hoki o Iharaira, i hinga nei i te hoari.

13 Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te tamaiti nana nei i korero ki a ia, No hea koe? Ano ra ko tera, He tama ahau na tetahi manene, na tetahi Amareki.

14 And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord?

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a ia, He aha koe te wehi ai? he aha i totoro ai tou ringa ki te huna i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?

15 Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed.

Katahi a Rawiri ka karanga ki tetahi o ana taitama, ka mea, Whakatata atu, e rere ki runga ki a ia. Na patua ana ia e ia, mate ake.

16 Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted.

I mea ano a Rawiri ki a ia, Hei runga i tou matenga ou toto; kua whakaatu mai na hoki tou waha i tou he, kua mea, Naku i whakamate ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai.

17 Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne,

Na ka waiatatia e Rawiri tenei apakura mo Haora raua ko tana tama, ko Honatana:

18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher)

I mea hoki ia kia whakaakona nga tama a Hura ki te waiata o te kopere: e mau na te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka a Iahera.

19 O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen!

Tukitukia ana tou ataahua, e Iharaira, ki ou wahi teitei. Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi!

20 Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph.

Kaua e korerotia ki Kata; kaua e kauwhautia ki nga huarahi o Ahakerono; kei koa nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, kei whakamanamana nga tamahine a te kokotikore.

21 Ye mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle.

E nga maunga o Kiripoa, kati rawa he tomairangi mo koutou, he ua, he mara e tukua ai te whakahere; i akiritia kinotia hoki ki reira te pukupuku o te marohirohi, te pukupuku o Haora, me te mea kihai i whakawahia ki te hinu.

22 The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie.

He toto tena no te hunga i tu, he ngako tena no nga marohirohi, kahore he whakahokinga mai o te kopere a Honatana, kihai ano te hoari a Haora i hoki kau mai.

23 Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then lions.

Ko Haora, ko Honatana, he aroha, he whakaahuareka i to raua oranga; kihai hoki i wehea i to raua matenga; nui atu to raua tere i to nga ekara, to raua kaha i to nga raiona.

24 Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel.

E nga tamahine a Iharaira, tangihia a Haora, nana nei o koutou kakahu ngangana i huatau ai, nana nei i piri ai nga whakapaipai koura ki o koutou weruweru.

25 Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places.

Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi i waenganui o te tatauranga! E Honatana, i werohia na i runga i ou wahi teitei.

26 Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women:

Mamae ana ahau, he whakaaro ki a koe, e toku tuakana, e Honatana; nui atu toku whakaahuareka ki a koe: he hanga whakamiharo tou aroha ki ahau, nui atu i to nga wahine aroha.

27 howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!

Ano te hinganga o nga marohirohi: ano te korenga o nga patu o te pakanga!
