1 Hamuera 14

1 Na i tetahi o aua ra ka mea a Honatana, tama a Haora, ki te taitama e mau ana i ana patu, Haere mai, taua ka whiti atu ki nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i tawahi ra. Otiia kihai i korerotia e ia ki tona papa.

And the day cometh that Jonathan son of Saul saith unto the young man bearing his weapons, 'Come, and we pass over unto the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this;' and to his father he hath not declared [it].

2 A i tera pito o Kipea a Haora e noho ana i raro i tetahi pamekaranete i Mikirono: tata tonu ana tangata ki te ono nga rau;

And Saul is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him, about six hundred men,

3 Me Ahia ano hoki, tama a Ahitupu, tuakana o Ikaporo, tama a Pinehaha, tama a Eri tohunga a Ihowa i Hiro, ko te kaikakahu ia o te epora. Na kihai te iwi i mohio kua riro a Honatana.

and Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of I-Chabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, bearing an ephod; and the people knew not that Jonathan hath gone.

4 Na, i waenga o nga whitinga i whai ai a Honatana kia whiti atu ki nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini, tera tetahi pari kohatu i tetahi taha, he pari kohatu hoki i tetahi taha: ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Potete, ko te ingoa o tetahi ko Henehe.

And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over unto the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on the one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of the one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 I te raki tetahi pari e tu ana, i te ritenga atu o Mikimaha; i te tonga tetahi, i te ritenga atu o Kipea.

The one edge [is] fixed on the north over-against Michmash, and the one on the south over-against Gibeah.

6 Na ka mea a Honatana ki te taitama e mau ana i ana patu, Haere mai, taua ka haere ki nga hoia o enei kokotikore: tera pea a Ihowa e mahi mo taua: kahore he aha ki a Ihowa kia riro ma te tokomaha, ma te tokoiti ranei e whakaora.

And Jonathan saith unto the young man bearing his weapons, 'Come, and we pass over unto the station of these uncircumcised; it may be Jehovah doth work for us, for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.'

7 Ano ra ko te kaimau o ana patu ki a ia, Meatia nga mea katoa e paingia ana e tou ngakau: anga atu, tenei ahau hei hoa mou, hei pera me ta tou ngakau e pai ai.

And the bearer of his weapons saith to him, 'Do all that [is] in thy heart; turn for thee; lo, I [am] with thee, as thine own heart.'

8 Ano ra ko Honatana, Nana, me haere atu taua ki nga tangata ra, me whakaputa atu hoki ki a ratou.

And Jonathan saith, 'Lo, we are passing over unto the men, and are revealed unto them;

9 Ki te penei mai ta ratou ki a taua, Tu marie, kia tae atu ra ano matou ki a korua; na me tu taua i to taua turanga, e kore ano e piki ki a ratou.

if thus they say unto us, 'Stand still till we have come unto you,' then we have stood in our place, and do not go up unto them;

10 Engari ki te penei ta ratou ki, Piki ake ki a matou, ko reira taua piki atu ai; no te mea kua homai ratou e Ihowa ki o taua ringa: a ko tenei hei tohu ki a taua.

and if thus they say, 'Come up against us,' then we have gone up, for Jehovah hath given them into our hand, and this to us [is] the sign.

11 Na ka puta raua tokorua ki nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini: a ka mea nga Pirihitini, Nana, ko nga Hiperu e puta mai ana i roto i nga rua i piri ai ratou.

And revealed are both of them unto the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, 'Lo, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves.'

12 Na ka oho nga hoia pupuri ki a Honatana raua ko tana kaimau patu, ka mea, Piki ake ki a matou kia whakakitea ai tetahi mea e matou ki a korua. Na ka mea a Honatana ki te kaimau o ana patu, Piki ake i muri i ahau; kua homai hoki ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Iharaira.

And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, 'Come up unto us, and we cause you to know something.' And Jonathan saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Come up after me, for Jehovah hath given them into the hand of Israel.'

13 Na ka piki atu a Honatana, he mea ngoki atu, me tana kaimau patu i muri i a ia: na hinga ana ratou i a Honatana, me te patu ano te kaimau patu i muri i a ia.

And Jonathan goeth up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting to death after him.

14 Na, ko te patunga tuatahi i patu ai a Honatana raua ko tana kaimau patu, tata tonu ki te rua tekau nga tangata: ko te nui o taua wahi, me te mea kei te hawhe eka whenua.

And the first smiting which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have smitten is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a field,

15 Na ka pa te wiri ki te puni, ki era i te parae, ki te iwi katoa ano hoki: ko nga hoia, me nga kaipahua, i wiri ano hoki ratou; i ru ano te whenua: nui rawa te wiri.

and there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled — even they, and the earth shaketh, and it becometh a trembling of God.

16 A ka titiro nga tutei a Haora i Kipea o Pineamine; na, kua papahoro te ope, me te haere ano ratou, kopiko atu, kopiko mai.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and lo, the multitude hath melted away, and it goeth on, and is beaten down.

17 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki te iwi i reira, i a ia, Tatauria tatou kia kitea ko wai kua riro. A, no ka tatauria e ratou, na kahore a Honatana raua ko tana kaimau patu i reira.

And Saul saith to the people who [are] with him, 'Inspect, I pray you, and see; who hath gone from us?' and they inspect, and lo, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.

18 Na ka mea a Haora ki a Ahia, Kawea mai te aaka a te Atua. I nga tama hoki a Iharaira te aaka a te Atua i taua wa.

And Saul saith to Ahiah, 'Bring nigh the ark of God;' for the ark of God hath been on that day with the sons of Israel.

19 A, i a Haora e korero ana ki te tohunga, ka tino nui haere te ngangau i te puni o nga Pirihitini: na ka ki a Haora ki te tohunga, Pepeke ake tou ringa.

And it cometh to pass, while Saul spake unto the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goeth on, going on and becoming great, and Saul saith unto the priest, 'Remove thy hand.'

20 Na ka huihui a Haora ratou ko tona nuinga, a haere ana ki te whawhai: na e anga mai ana tera te hoari a tetahi, a tetahi, ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa: nui atu te pokaikaha.

And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come in unto the battle, and, lo, the sword of each hath been against his neighbour — a very great destruction.

21 Na ko nga Hiperu i roto i nga Pirihitini i mua atu, i haere tahi atu nei me ratou ki te puni i te whenua i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; na huri ana ano hoki ratou ki te taha i a Iharaira, ki nga hoa o Haora raua ko Honatana.

And the Hebrews [who] have been for the Philistines as heretofore, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned round, even they, to be with Israel who [are] with Saul and Jonathan,

22 Na pera ano nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i piri nei ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, i to ratou rongonga kua whati nga Pirihitini, na kei te whai haere ano hoki i a ratou i roto i te pakanga.

and all the men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue — even they — after them in battle.

23 Heoi whakaorangia ana a Iharaira, i taua ra e Ihowa: a puta ke ana te whawhai ki Peteawene.

And Jehovah saveth Israel on that day, and the battle hath passed over to Beth-Aven.

24 A i hemanawa nga tangata o Iharaira i taua ra: i whakaoati hoki a Haora i te iwi, i mea, Ki te kai tetahi tangata i te kai a ahiahi noa, ka kanga ia, kia whai utu ra ano ahau i oku hoariri. Na reira kihai tetahi o te iwi i anga ki te kai.

And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjureth the people, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man who eateth food till the evening, and I have been avenged of mine enemies;' and none of the people hath tasted food.

25 Na ko te haerenga o nga tangata katoa o te whenua ki tetahi ngahere; a he honi kei runga i te whenua.

And all [they of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;

26 A, no te taenga o te iwi ki te ngahere, na e turuturu iho ana te honi; otiia kihai i pa te ringa o tetahi tangata ki tona waha; i wehi hoki te iwi i te oati.

and the people come in unto the forest, and lo, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand unto his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27 Ko Honatana ia kihai i rongo i te whakaoati a tona papa i te iwi: na ka kokiritia e ia te pito o te tokotoko i tona ringa, a toua ana ki roto ki te honikoma, whakahokia ana e ia tona ringa ki tona waha, a ka marama ona kanohi.

And Jonathan hath not heard of his father's adjuring the people, and putteth forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dippeth it in the honeycomb, and bringeth back his hand unto his mouth — and his eyes see!

28 Katahi ka oho tetahi o te iwi, a ka mea, I tino whakaoatitia te iwi e tou papa; i mea ia, Kia kanga te tangata e kai ana i tetahi kai aianei; a e hemo ana te iwi.

And a man of the people answereth and saith, 'Thy father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eateth food to-day; and the people are weary.'

29 Katahi a Honatana ka mea, Raru ana te whenua nei i toku papa: titiro hoki, kua marama oku kanohi, noku i kai i tetahi wahi iti o te honi nei.

And Jonathan saith, 'My father hath troubled the land; see, I pray you, that mine eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 Tera noa ake mehemea pea i kai noa atu te iwi inaianei i nga mea i pahuatia mai i o ratou hoariri i tupono atu ai ratou? ko tenei kahore i rahi te parekura o nga Pirihitini.

How much more if the people had well eaten to-day of the spoil of its enemies which it hath found, for now, the smiting hath not been great among the Philistines.'

31 Na patua iho e ratou nga Pirihitini i taua rangi i Mikimaha atu a tae noa ki Aitarono: a e tino hemo ana te iwi.

And they smite on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary,

32 Na ko te rerenga atu o te iwi ki nga taonga; ka mau ki nga hipi, ki nga kau, ki nga kuao kau, patua iho ki te whenua, kainga tahitia ana e te iwi me nga toto.

and the people make unto the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat with the blood.

33 Katahi ka korerotia ki a Haora ka meatia, Nana, kua hara te iwi ki a Ihowa, e kainga tahitia ana ta ratou kai me nga toto. Na ka mea ia, He mahi hianga ta koutou: hurihia mai he kohatu nui ki ahau aianei.

And they declare to Saul, saying, 'Lo, the people are sinning against Jehovah, to eat with the blood.' And he saith, 'Ye have dealt treacherously, roll unto me to-day a great stone.'

34 Ka mea ano a Haora, Tomotomo atu koutou ki roto ki te iwi mea atu hoki ki a ratou, Kawea mai ki ahau, e tera, e tera, tana kau, tana hipi, ka patu ai ki konei hei kai ma koutou; kaua hoki e hara ki a Ihowa, e kai i te toto. Katahi ka kawea mai e te iwi katoa i taua po te kau a tena, a tena, a patua iho ana ki reira.

And Saul saith, 'Be ye scattered among the people, and ye have said to them, Bring ye nigh unto me each his ox, and each his sheep; and ye have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and ye do not sin against Jehovah to eat with the blood.' And all the people bring nigh each his ox, in his hand, that night, and slaughter [them] there.

35 Na ka hanga e Haora he aata ma Ihowa. Koia tenei ko te aata tuatahi i hanga e ia ma Ihowa.

And Saul buildeth an alter to Jehovah; with it he hath begun to build altars to Jehovah.

36 Na ka mea a Haora, Tatou ka haere ki raro, ka whai i nga Pirihitini i te po, ka pahua i a ratou a marama noa te ata; kaua ano e waiho tetahi tangata o ratou. Na ka mea ratou, Meatia ra nga mea katoa e pai ana ki tou whakaaro. Na ka mea ake te to hunga, Kia whakatata tatou ki a Ihowa.

And Saul saith, 'Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey upon them till the light of the morning, and leave not a man of them.' And they say, 'All that is good in thine eyes do.' And the priest saith, 'Let us draw near hither unto God.'

37 Na ka tono whakaaro a Haora i te Atua, Me haere ranei ahau ki raro, ki te whai i nga Pirihitini? e homai ranei ratou e koe ki te ringa o Iharaira? Otiia kahore he kupu i whakahokia ki a ia i taua ra.

And Saul asketh of God, 'Do I go down after the Philistines? dost Thou give them into the hand of Israel?' and He hath not answered him on that day.

38 Na ka mea a Haora, Neke mai, e nga rangatira katoa o te iwi: kia mohio ai, kia kite ai koutou no hea tenei hara i tenei ra.

And Saul saith, 'Draw ye nigh hither all, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin hath been to-day;

39 Ta te mea, e ora ana a Ihowa e whakaora nei i a Iharaira, ahakoa no taku tama, no Honatana, ka mate ia, mate rawa. Otiia kahore he tangata o te iwi katoa hei whakahoki kupu ki a ia.

for, Jehovah liveth, who is saving Israel: surely if it be in Jonathan my son, surely he doth certainly die;' and none is answering him out of all the people.

40 Katahi ia ka mea ki a Iharaira katoa, Hei tetahi taha koutou, hei tetahi taha maua ko taku tama, ko Honatana. Na ka mea te iwi ki a Haora, Meatia ra te mea e pai ana ki tou whakaaro.

And he saith unto all Israel, 'Ye — ye are on one side, and I and Jonathan my son are on another side;' and the people say unto Saul, 'That which is good in thine eyes do.'

41 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, Kia tika te homaitanga o te rota. Na ka mau ko Honatana raua ko Haora; i mawhiti hoki te iwi.

And Saul saith unto Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Give perfection;' and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.

42 Na ka mea a Haora, maka te rota mo maua ko taku tama, ko Honatana. Na ka mau ko Honatana.

And Saul saith, 'Cast between me and Jonathan my son;' and Jonathan is captured.

43 Katahi ka mea a Haora ki a Honatana, Whakaaturia mai ki ahau, i aha koe. Katahi ka whakaaturia e Honatana ki a ia, ka mea, He tika i whakamatau kau atu ahau i tetahi wahi iti o te honi ki te pito o te tokotoko i toku ringa; na, ka mate nei ahau.

And Saul saith unto Jonathan, 'Declare to me, what hast thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, 'I certainly tasted with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand a little honey; lo, I die!'

44 Ano ra ko Haora, Kia meatia tenei e te Atua, tera atu ano hoki; ka mate rawa hoki koe, e Honatana.

And Saul saith, 'Thus doth God do, and thus doth He add, for thou dost certainly die, Jonathan.'

45 Na ka mea te iwi ki a Haora, Kia mate a Honatana nana nei tenei whakaoranga nui i roto i a Iharaira? Kahore ra hoki. E ora ana a Ihowa, e kore e taka tetahi makawe o tona matenga ki te whenua; i te mahi tahi nei hoki ia me te Atua i tenei ra. He oi whakaorangia ana a Honatana e te iwi, a kihai i mate.

And the people say unto Saul, 'Doth Jonathan die who wrought this great salvation in Israel? — a profanation! Jehovah liveth, if there falleth from the hair of his head to the earth, for with God he hath wrought this day;' and the people rescue Jonathan, and he hath not died.

46 Katahi ka hoki a Haora i te whai i nga Pirihitini; a haere ana nga Pirihitini ki to ratou na wahi.

And Saul goeth up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone to their place;

47 A, no ka riro i a Haora te kingitanga o Iharaira, ka whawhai ia ki ona hoariri katoa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki a Moapa, ki nga tama a Amona, ki a Eroma, ki nga kingi ano o Topa, ki nga Pirihitini, a he ana ratou i a ia i nga wahi katoa i tahuri ai ia.

and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fighteth round about against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the Bene-Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and whithersoever he turneth he doth vex [them].

48 A i puta tona toa, a patua ana nga Amareki, a ora ake i a ia a Iharaira i te ringa o ona kaipahua.

And he maketh a force, and smiteth Amalek, and delivereth Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.

49 Na ko nga tama a Haora, ko Honatana, ko Ihui, ko Marikihua; a, ko nga ingoa enei o ana tamahine tokorua, ko te ingoa o te matamua ko Merapa, ko te ingoa o to muri ko Mikara.

And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as to the name of his two daughters, the name of the first-born [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

50 A, ko te ingoa o te wahine a Haora ko Ahinoama, he tamahine na Ahimaata: ko te ingoa hoki o te rangatira o tana ope ko Apanere, tama a Nere matua keke o Haora.

and the name of the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;

51 Ko Kihi hoki te papa o Haora; a he tama na Apiere a Nere papa o Apanere.

and Kish [is] father of Saul, and Ner father of Abner [is] son of Ahiel.

52 A he nui te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini i nga ra katoa o Haora; a ka kite a Haora i tetahi marohirohi, i tetahi maia, na ka tangohia e ia mana.

And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul hath seen any mighty man, and any son of valour, then he doth gather him unto himself.
