1 Whakapapa 14

1 Na ka tonoa etahi karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi kohatu, me nga kaimahi rakau, hei hanga whare mona.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of a wall, and craftsmen of wood, to build him a palace.

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

And David knew that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.

3 Na ka tangohia ano e Rawiri he wahine mana ki Hiruharama; a ka whanau ano etahi atu tama, etahi atu tamahine ma Rawiri.

David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

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

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua, ko Ereparete;

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet,

6 Ko Noka, ko Nepeke, ko Iapia;

and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 Ko Erihama, ko Peeriara, ko Eriparete.

and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.

8 A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua oti a Rawiri te whakawahi hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri. A ka rongo a Rawiri, a ka puta ia ki te tu i a ratou.

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

9 Na, tera nga Pirihitini kua haere mai, a kua takahi i te raorao o Repaima.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.

10 Na ka ui a Rawiri ki te Atua, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere; ka hoatu hoki ratou e ahau ki tou ringa.

David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Jehovah said to him, "Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand."

11 Heoi kua tae mai ratou ki Paaraperatimi; patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Pakaru ana i te Atua oku hoariri, he mea na toku ringa; koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi ko Paaraperatimi.

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a breakthrough of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

12 A mahue ana i a ratou o ratou atua ki reira; na ka whakahau a Rawiri, a tahuna ana ki te ahi.

They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 Na ka takahia ano e nga Pirihitini te raorao.

The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

14 A ka ui ano a Rawiri ki te Atua, a ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Kaua e haere ki te wahi i a ratou: me tahuri i a ratou, ka awhio haere ki a ratou, ka whakaeke i a ratou i te ritenga o nga maperi.

And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come at them opposite the poplar trees.

15 A, ka rangona e koe te tapuwae haruru i runga i nga maperi, ko reira koe puta ai ki te whawhai; no te mea kua riro te Atua ki mua i a koe ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.

And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

16 Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ratou te ope o nga Pirihitini i Kipeono, a tae noa ki Katere.

David did as God commanded him, and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17 Na kua paku te ingoa o Rawiri ki nga whenua katoa; a ka mea a Ihowa i te wehi ki a ia kia pa ki nga iwi katoa.

The fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him on all nations.
