1 Kingi 20
1 Na ka huihuia tana ope katoa e Peneharara kingi o Hiria; e toru tekau ma rua nga kingi ona hoa, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata: na haere ana ia, a whakapaea ana a Hamaria, tauria ana e ia.
And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshing floor of Achaab king of Samaria.
2 Na ka tonoa etahi karere e ia ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ki te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara,
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give you another vineyard better than it; or if it please you, I will give you money, the price of this your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
3 Ko tau hiriwa, ko tau koura, naku ena: me au wahine, me au tamariki, nga mea papai, naku ena.
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.
4 Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Rite tonu ki tau i mea na, e toku ariki, e te kingi: nau ahau me aku mea katoa.
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
5 Na ka hoki nga karere, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Peneharara, e ki ana, I tono tangata ano ahau ki a koe hei mea atu, Me homai e koe tau hiriwa, tau koura, au wahine, me au tamariki;
And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] your spirit troubled, and [why] do you eat no bread?
6 Na kia penei apopo ka tonoa atu e ahau aku tangata ki a koe, ki te rapu i roto i tou whare, i nga whare ano o au tangata; na, ko nga mea katoa e minaminatia ana e ou kanohi, tera e tangohia mai i o ratou ringa, ka maua mai.
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you will, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.
7 Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua, a ka mea, Kia ata whakaaro koutou, kia kite kei te rapu tenei tangata i te kino: i tono tangata mai hoki ia ki ahau mo aku wahine, mo aku tamariki, mo taku hiriwa, a mo taku koura; a kihai i kaiponuhia e ahau ki a ia.
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Do you now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be your own [master], and I will give you the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
8 Na ka mea nga kaumatua katoa, ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a ia, Kaua e whakarongo, kaua e whakaae.
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who lived with Nabuthai.
9 Katahi ia ka mea ki nga karere a Peneharara, Mea atu ki toku ariki, ki te kingi, Ko nga mea katoa i tono mai ai koe ki tau pononga i te tuatahi, ka meatia e ahau: ko tenei mea ia e kore e taea e ahau te mea. Na haere ana nga karere ki te whakahok i i te kupu.
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
10 Na ka tono tangata ano a Peneharara, ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei e nga atua ki ahau, me era atu mea, ki te rato i te puehu o Hamaria nga ringa o te hunga katoa e whai ana i ahau.
And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
11 Na ka whakahoki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ki atu ki a ia, Kaua te tangata e whitiki ana i tona pukupuku, e whakamanamana, e pera me te tangata e wewete ana.
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
12 I te rongonga o Peneharara i tenei kupu, i a ia e inu ana, ratou ko nga kingi i roto i nga teneti, ka mea ia ki ana tangata, Whakatikaia a koutou ngohi. Na whakatikaia ana a ratou ngohi hei whawhai ki te pa.
And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
13 Na, ka whakatata mai tetahi poropiti ki a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ka kite koe i tenei ope nui katoa? Nana, ka hoatu ratou e ahau aianei ki tou ringa, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.
And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
14 A ka mea a Ahapa, Ma wai? Ano ra ko tera, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ma nga taitama o nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga. A ka mea ia, Ma wai e timata te whawhai? A ka mea tera, Mau.
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
15 Na ka whakaemia e ia nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga, e rua rau e toru tekau ma rua ratou: i muri i a ratou i whakaemia ano e ia te iwi katoa, ara nga tama katoa a Iharaira, e whitu mano.
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to you: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
16 Na puta ana ratou i te poutumarotanga. Ko Peneharara ia i te inu i roto i nga teneti, a haurangi iho, a ia me nga kingi, ara ko nga kingi e toru tekau ma rua, ona whakauru.
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he tore his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
17 Na ka puta tuatahi ko nga taitama a nga rangatira o nga kawanatanga: na ka tono tangata a Peneharara; a ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, He tangata enei kua puta mai i Hamaria.
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
18 Ano ra ko tera, Ki te mea he hohou rongo i puta mai ai ratou, hopukia oratia: ki te mea ano he whawhai i puta mai ai, hopukia oratia.
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down there to take possession of it.
19 Heoi puta ana enei ki waho o te pa, nga taitamariki o nga kawanatanga, me te ope i muri i a ratou.
And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.
20 Na patua ana e ratou tana tangata, tana tangata; a rere ana nga Hiriani, whaia ana e Iharaira; ko Peneharara ia kingi o Hiria, i mawhiti i runga i te hioho, ratou ko nga kaieke hioho.
And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast you found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [you]: because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
21 Na ka puta te kingi o Iharaira, a patua iho nga hoiho me nga hariata; heoi patua ana nga Hiriani, nui atu te parekura.
behold, I bring evil upon you: and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
22 Na ka haere te poropiti ki te kingi o Iharaira, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere ki te whakakaha i a koe; kia mohio hoki, kia mahara ki tau e mea ai; ka taka hoki te tau, ka whakaekea koe e te kingi o Hiria.
And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith you have provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
23 Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi o Hiria ki a ia, He atua maunga o ratou atua; koia ratou i kaha ai i a tatou; kia whawhai ia tatou ki a ratou i te mania, ka kaha tatou i a ratou.
And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
24 Na ko tenei tau e mea ai; whakawateatia atu nga kingi, tenei, tenei i tona wahi; a whakaritea etahi rangatira hei whakakapi mo ratou.
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
25 Na taua tetahi ope, kia rite ki tenei au kua hinga nei, he hoiho, he hoiho, he hariata, he hariata, a ka whawhai tatou ki a ratou ki te mania: tera tatou e kaha i a ratou. Na rongo tonu ia ki to ratou reo, a peratia ana e ia.
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
26 Na, i te takanga o te tau, ka whakaemia e Peneharara nga Hiriani, a haere ana ki Apeke ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
27 Na ka taua ano nga tama a Iharaira, a ka whai kai, a ka haere ki te tu i a ratou: a noho ana nga tama a Iharaira i to ratou ritenga atu, koia ano kei nga kahui iti e rua o nga kuao koati; ko nga Hiriani ia, kapi ana te whenua i a ratou.
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and tore his garment, and girded sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he struck Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
28 Na ka haere te tangata a te Atua, a ka korero ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua mea nei nga Hiriani, He atua maunga a Ihowa, ehara ia i te atua raorao, na ka hoatu e ahau tenei ope nui katoa ki tou ringa, a ka mohio k outou ko Ihowa ahau.
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
29 Na noho ana ratou, tetahi, tetahi, anga atu, anga mai, e whitu nga ra. A i te whitu o nga ra ka pipiri ki te whawhai. Na patua iho o nga Hiriani e nga tama a Iharaira kotahi rau mano i taua ra kotahi.
Hast you seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
30 Ko nga morehu ia i rere ki Apeke, ki roto ki te pa; a horo iho ana te taiepa ku runga ki nga mano e rua tekau ma whitu o nga morehu; ko Peneharara ia i rere, a haere ana ki roto ki te pa ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa.
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
31 Na ka mea ana tangata ki a ia, Nana, kua rongo matou he kingi tohu tangata nga kingi o te whare o Iharaira: tena, kia maka iho e matou he kakahu taratara ki o matou hope, me etahi taura ki o matou matenga, a kia haere atu ki te kingi o Iharaira: tera pea koe e whakaorangia e ia.
And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
32 Heoi whitikiria ana e ratou he kakahu taratara ki o ratou hope, he taura hoki ki o ratou matenga; a ka haere ki te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, E mea ana tau pononga a Peneharara, Tena ra, kia ora ahau. A ka mea tera, Kei te ora ano ranei ia? ko to ku tuakana ia.
Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your children are mine.
33 Na i ata whakarongo aua tangata ki tana, a hohoro tonu te hopu i tona whakaaro, a ka mea, Ko tou tuakana ra, a Peneharara. Ano ra ko ia, Haere koutou, tikina atu ia. Heoi ka puta mai a Peneharara ki a ia, a ka mea tera kia eke ia ki te hariata.
And the king of Israel answered and said, As you have said, my lord, O king, I am your, and all mine [also].
34 Na ka mea a Peneharara ki a ia, Ko nga pa i tangohia e toku papa i tou papa me whakahoki atu e ahau; a mau e hanga etahi huanui mau ki Ramahiku kia rite ki a toku papa i hanga ai ki Hamaria. Ano ra ko Ahapa, Me tuku koe e ahau i runga i tenei ka wenata. Na, whakaritea ana he kawenata e raua, a tukua ana ia.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to you, saying, You shall give me your silver and your gold, and your wives and your children.
35 Na ka mea tetahi tangata o nga tama a nga poropiti ki tona hoa, he mea ki na Ihowa, Tena, patua ahau. Heoi kihai taua tangata i pai ki te patu i a ia.
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
36 Katahi ka mea tera ki a ia, i te mea kihai koe i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, na, mawehe atu ana koe i konei, ka patua koe e te raiona. A, no te haerenga atu i tona taha, ka tutaki tetahi raiona ki a ia, patua iho.
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
37 Katahi ka tutaki ia ki tetahi atu tangata, a ka mea, Tena, patua ahau. Na ka patu taua tangata i a ia, he patu i motu ai.
And the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not, and consent not.
38 Heoi haere ana taua poropiti, a tu ana i te ara, he whanga i te kingi; i whakaahua ke hoki i a ia, ko tona tipare ki tona mata.
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that you have sent to your servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
39 A, i te kingi e haere ana, ka karanga ia ki te kingi, ka mea, I haere tau pononga ki waenganui o te whawhai: na ko te pekanga mai o tetahi tangata, kawea mai ana e ia tetahi tangata ki ahau, ka mea, Tiakina tenei tangata: ki te mea ka riro ia, k o koe ka mate hei ritenga mo tona matenga: me utu ranei e koe kia kotahi taranata hiriwa.
And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
40 A, i tau pononga e mea noa ana i tenei mea, i tera mea, kua riro tera. Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Me pena te tikanga mou; kua tika mai na i a koe.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
41 Na hohoro tonu te tango a tera i te tipare i ona kanohi, a ka mohio te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia ko tetahi o nga poropiti.
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
42 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua tukua atu nei i roto i tou ringa taku tangata i tukua putia atu nei e ahau ki te mate; na ko tou matenga hei ritenga mo tona matenga, me tou iwi hei utu mo tona iwi.
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus says the Lord, Hast you seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into your hands; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
43 Na pouri ana, riri ana, te kingi o Iharaira, a haere ana ki tona whare; tae tonu atu ki Hamaria.
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus says the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, You.
