1 Kings 2
1 And when the days of David drew near that he should die, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
Na kua tata nga ra o Rawiri e mate ia; a ka ako ia i tana tama, i a Horomona, ka mea,
2 I am going the way of all the earth; but be thou strong, and become a man;
E haere ana tenei ahau i te ara o te whenua katoa: na kia kaha, whakatane:
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses; in order that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
A kia mau ki te whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, kia haere i ana ara, kia mau ki ana tikanga, ki ana whakahau, ki ana whakaritenga, ki ana whakaaturanga, ki nga mea kua oti te tuhituhi ki te ture a Mohi, kia tika ai tau i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe, i nga wahi katoa e tahuri ai koe:
4 In order that the Lord may fulfill his word which he hath spoken concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall never fail thee, said he, a man on the throne of Israel.
Kia mana ai i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia moku, i mea ia, Ki te tupato au tamariki ki to ratou ara, ki te whakapaua katoatia o ratou ngakau, o ratou wairua, ki te haere i toku aroaro i runga i te pono, e kore e whakakorea, e ai ki tana, teta hi tangata mau mo te torona o Iharaira.
5 And thou also knowest well what Joab the son of Zeruyah hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto 'Amassa the son of Yether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and on his shoes that were on his feet.
Na e mohio ana hoki koe ki ta Ioapa tama a Teruia i mea ai ki ahau, ki tana i mea ai ki nga rangatira ope tokorua o Iharaira, ki a Apanere tama a Nere, ki a Amaha tama a Ietere, i patua ra e ia, a whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai i te wa o te rangimarie, whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai ki tona whitiki i tona hope, ki ona hu i ona waewae.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Na kia rite tau e mea ai ki tau i matau ai, a kaua e tukua tona upoko hina kia heke atu ki te rua i runga i te rangimarie. (Sheol h7585)
7 But unto the sons of Barzillai the Gil'adite show thou kindness, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came near to me when I fled from before Abshalom thy brother.
Kia puta ia tou aroha ki nga tama a Paratirai Kireari, kia uru hoki ratou ki te hunga e kai ana ki tau tepu: i pera hoki ratou, i whakatau ki ahau i toku rerenga i tou tuakana, i a Apoharama.
8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bachurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day when I went to Machanayim; but who came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
Na kei a koe na a Himei tama a Kera o Pineamine, o Pahurimi, tera i kanga ra ki ahau, kino atu te kanga, i te ra i haere ai ahau ki Mahanaima: otiia i haere mai ki ahau ki raro, ki Horano ki te whakatau i ahau, a oatitia ana a Ihowa e ahau ki a i a; i mea ahau, E kore ahau e whakamate i a koe ki te hoari.
9 But now leave him not unpunished; for thou art a wise man; know then what thou oughtest to do unto him, and bring thou down his hoary head with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Na kaua ia e meinga he harakore, he tangata mohio hoki koe, a e matau ana ki tau e mea ai ki a ia; engari kia heke tona upoko hina ki te rua i runga i te toto. (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Na moe ana a Rawiri ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
Ko nga ra i kingi ai a Rawiri ki a Iharaira, e wha tekau tau: e whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Heperona, e toru tekau ma toru ano nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama.
12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
Na noho ana a Horomona i runga i te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa, a u rawa tona kingitanga.
13 And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith came to Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon: and she said, Is thy coming for peace? And he said, For peace.
Na ka haere a Aronia tama a Hakiti ki a Patehepa whaea o Horomona. A ka mea tera, I haere mai ranei koe i runga i te pai? A ka mea ia, I runga ano i te pai.
14 He said moreover, I have a word for thee. And she said, Speak.
A i mea ano ia, He kupu taku ki a koe. A ka mea tera, Korero.
15 And he said, Thou well knowest that mine was the kingdom, and that on me all Israel had set their faces, that I should reign: nevertheless the kingdom was turned about, and became my brother's; for from the Lord was it [made] his.
Na ka mea ia, E mohio ana koe, i ahau te kingitanga, i anga mai ano nga kanohi o Iharaira katoa ki ahau hei kingi: heoi kua kauparea ketia nei te kingitanga, a riro ana i toku teina: nona hoki, na Ihowa mai.
16 And now there is one petition I am going to ask of thee, do not turn me away. And she said unto him, Speak.
Na kotahi tenei tono aku ki a koe: kaua e whakakahoretia taku. A ka mea tera ki a ia, Korero.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, [for he will not turn thee away, ] that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite for wife.
Na ka mea ia, Tena, korero ki a Kingi Horomona, e kore hoki ia e whakakahore ki tau, kia homai e ia a Apihaka Hunami hei wahine maku.
18 And Bath-sheba' said, Well: I will speak for thee unto the king.
Na ka mea a Patehepa, E pai ana, me korero tau e ahau ki te kingi.
19 Bath-sheba' thereupon went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adoniyah; and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and then sat down on his throne, and placed a chair for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
Heoi haere ana a Patehepa ki a Kingi Horomona ki te korero ki a ia i ta Aronia. A whakatika ana te kingi ki te whakatau ki a ia, piko ana ki a ia, a ka noho iho ano ki tona torona; a ka meinga e ia kia whakaturia he torona mo te whaea o te kingi, a noho ana tera ki tona ringa matau.
20 Then said she, There is one small petition I am going to ask of thee; do not turn me away. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not turn thee away.
Katahi ka mea ia, Kotahi tenei mea iti hei tononga maku ki a koe: kaua taku e whakakahoretia. A ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Tonoa, e toku whaea; e kore hoki ahau e whakakahore ki tau.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adoniyah thy brother for wife.
A ka mea tera, Kia hoatu a Apihaka Hunami hei wahine ma tou tuakana, ma Aronia.
22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adoniyah? rather ask for him the kingdom; for he is my elder brother; — even for him, and for Ebyathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruyah.
Na ka whakahoki a Kingi Horomona, ka mea ki tona whaea, He aha i tonoa ai e koe a Apihaka Hunami ma Aronia? Tonoa ano hoki te kingitanga mona; ko ia hoki toku tuakana; mona, mo Apiatara tohunga, mo Ioapa tama a Teruia.
23 Then swore king Solomon by the Lord, saying, May God do so to me, and may he thus continue, if Adoniyah have not spoken this word against his own life.
Katahi ka oatitia a Ihowa e Kingi Horomona, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e te Atua ki ahau, me tetahi atu mea ano, mehemea ehara i te kupu whakamate mona ano tenei i korerotia nei e Aronia.
24 And now, as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and seated me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he hath spoken, this very day shall Adoniyah be put to death.
Tena ra, e ora ana a Ihowa i whakapumau nei i ahau, i whakanoho nei i ahau ki te torona o Rawiri, o toku papa, i mea nei hoki i tetahi whare moku, i te pera me tana i korero ai, ko aianei pu mate ai a Aronia.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'; and he fell upon him so that he died.
Na ka tonoa e Kingi Horomona a Penaia tama a Iehoiara; a rere ana tera ki runga ki a ia, na kua mate.
26 And unto Ebyathar the priest said the king, Go to 'Anathoth, unto thy own fields; for thou art a man worthy of death; but on this day will I not put thee to death; because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Eternal before David my father, and because thou was afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Na ka mea te kingi ki te tohunga ki a Apiatara, Haere ki Anatoto, ki au mara; e tika ana hoki te mate mou: otiia e kore ahau e whakamate i a koe i tenei ra, no te mea nau i mau te aaka a te Ariki, a Ihowa, i mua i a Rawiri, i toku papa, i mate a no hoki koe i nga mate katoa o toku papa.
27 So Solomon banished Ebyathar that he should not be priest unto the Lord, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken concerning the house of 'Eli in Shiloh.
Heoi peia ana a Apiatara e Horomona i te mahi tohunga ki a Ihowa; kia tutuki ai te kupu a Ihowa i korero ai ki Hiro mo te whare o Eri.
28 And the report came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adoniyah, though he had not turned after Abshalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Na ka tae te rongo ki a Ioapa: i anga hoki a Ioapa ki te whai i a Aronia, engari kahore i tahuri ki a Apoharama. Na rere ana a Ioapa ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, kei te pupuri i nga haona o te aata.
29 And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and that, behold, he was close by the altar. Then sent Solomon Benayahu the son of Yehoyada,' saying, Go, fall upon him.
A ka korerotia ki a Kingi Horomona, Kua rere a Ioapa ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, na, kei te taha o te aata. Katahi ka unga a Penaia tama a Iehoiara e Horomona, a ka mea ia, Haere, e rere ki runga i a ia.
30 And Benayahu came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus hath said the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but here will I die. And Benayahu brought the king word again, saying, Thus hath Joab spoken, and thus hath he answered me.
Na ka tae a Penaia ki te tapenakara o Ihowa, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Puta mai ki waho. Ano ra ko tera, Kahore, engari kia mate ahau ki konei. Na ka whakahokia te korero e Penaia ki te kingi; i mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ioap a, ko tana tenei i whakahoki ai ki ahau.
31 Then said the king unto him, Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and bury him; and remove [thus] the innocent blood, which Joab hath shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
Ano ra ko te kingi ki a ia, Meatia tana i korero ai; rere atu ki runga ki a ia, ka tanu i a ia; kia whakakahoretia atu ai e koe i ahau, i te whare hoki o toku papa, nga toto i whakahekea noatia e Ioapa.
32 And may the Lord bring back his blood-guiltiness upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, while my father David knew it not, Abner the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and 'Amassa the son of Yether, the captain of the army of Judah.
A ka whakahokia iho e Ihowa ona toto ki runga ano ki tona matenga, nana hoki i rere ki runga i nga tangata tokorua, ki nga tangata e tika ake ana, e pai ake ana i a ia, a patua iho ki te hoari, kihai ano hoki toku papa, a Rawiri i mohio, ara ki a Apanere tama a Nere, ki te rangatira o te ope o Iharaira, raua ko Amaha tama a Ietere, rangatira o te ope o Hura.
33 And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
Heoi ka hoki iho o raua toto ki runga ki te matenga o Ioapa, ki runga ano ki te matenga o ona uri a ake ake; ki a Rawiri ia, ratou ko ona uri, ko tona whare, ko tona torona, ka mau ta Ihowa rongo a ake ake.
34 So Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Na ko te haerenga o Penaia tama a Iehoiara ki runga, a rere ana ki runga ki a ia, whakamatea iho; a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare, ki te koraha.
35 And the king appointed Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest did the king appoint in the place of Ebyathar.
A meinga ana e te kingi a Penaia tama a Iehoiara hei rangatira ope i muri i a ia; i meinga e te kingi a Haroko tohunga hei whakakapi mo Apiatara.
36 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go forth from there hither or thither.
Na ka tono tangata te kingi ki te karanga i a Himei, a ka mea ki a ia, Hanga he whare mou ki Hiruharama, hei reira noho ai; kaua hoki e haere atu i reira ki hea, ki hea.
37 And it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thy own head.
Ko a te ra hoki e puta ai koe ki waho, e whiti ai i te awa i Kitirono, kia tino mohio koe, ko te mate kau mou; hei runga ano i tou matenga ou toto.
38 And Shim'i said unto the king, It is well: as my Lord the king hath spoken, so will thy servant do. And Shim'i dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Na ka mea a Himei ki te kingi, He pai tena kupu; ka pena tau pononga me ta toku ariki, me ta te kingi i korero mai na. Na he maha nga ra i noho ai a Himeiki Hiruharama.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shim'i ran away unto Achish the son of Ma'achah the king of Gath: and they told unto Shim'i, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
A i te mutunga o nga tau e toru ka tahuti nga pononga tokorua a Himei ki a Akihi tama a Maaka kingi o Kata. A ka korerotia ki a Himei, Nana, ko au pononga tera, kei Kata.
40 And Shim'i arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants; and Shim'i went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Na ko te whakatikanga o Himei, whakanohoia ana tana kaihe, a haere ana ki Kata, ki a Akihi, ki te rapu i ana pononga: heoi haere ana a Himei, a kawea ana mai e ia ana pononga i Kata.
41 And it was told to Solomon that Shim'i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
Na ka korerotia ki a Horomona, i haere atu a Himei i Hiruharama ki Kata, a kua hoki mai ano.
42 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Did I not make thee swear by the Lord, and warned thee, saying, On that day thou goest out, and walkest abroad hither or thither, know for certain that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, It is well, I have heard?
Na ka tono tangata te kingi ki te karanga i a Himei, a ka mea ki a ia, Kahore ianei koe i whakaoatitia e ahau ki a Ihowa, me taku whakaatu ano ki a koe, me taku ki atu ano, Ko te ra e puta ai koe ki waho, e haere ai ki hea ranei, ki hea ranei, k ia tino mohio koe, ko te mate kau mou? I mea mai ano koe ki ahau, He pai te kupu i rongo ai ahau.
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment with which I charged thee?
He aha ra koe te pupuri ai i te oati a Ihowa, i te whakahau i whakahaua ai koe e ahau?
44 The king said moreover to Shim'i, Thou well knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, that thou hast done to David my father: and the Lord bringeth back thy wickedness upon thy own head;
I mea ano te kingi ki a Himei, E mohio ana koe, e mohio ana ano tou ngakau, ki te kino katoa, ki tau i mea ai ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri. Na ka whakahokia nei e Ihowa tou kino ki runga ki tou matenga:
45 But king Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before the Lord for ever.
Ka manaakitia ia a Kingi Horomona, ka pumau tonu ano te torona o Rawiri i te aroaro o Ihowa a ake ake.
46 So the king commanded Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', who went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Heoi ka whakahau te kingi ki a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, haere ana tera ki waho, rere ana ki runga ki a ia, na kua mate. Na kua pumau te kingitanga i te ringa o Horomona.
