1 Hamuera 31
1 Na kua whawhai nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira, a ka whati nga tangata o Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana, mate rawa, i Maunga Kiripoa.
And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
2 Na ka whaia e nga Pirihitini a Haora ratou ko ana tama, a patua iho e nga Pirihitini a Honatana ratou ko Apinarapa, ko Marikihua, nga tama a Haora.
And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
3 Na ka nui haere te whawhai ki a Haora, a ka mau ia i nga kaikopere; nui rawa tona tunga i nga kaikopere.
And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
4 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki tana kaimau patu, Unuhia tau hoari, werohia hoki ahau; kei haere mai tenei hunga kokotikore, a ka wero i ahau, ka whakatupu kino i ahau. Otiia kihai i pai tana kaimau patu; he nui hoki no tona hopohopo. Na reira ka mau a Haora ki tana hoari, hinga iho ki runga.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
5 A, no te kitenga o tana kaimau patu, kua mate a Haora, ka hinga hoki ia ki tana hoari, a mate tahi ana raua.
And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Heoi kotahi tonu te matenga o Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru, ko tana kaimau patu, me ana tangata katoa i taua ra ano.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, in that day together.
7 A, no te kitenga o nga tangata o Iharaira i tera taha o te raorao, i tawhi ano o Horano, kua whati nga tangata o Iharaira, a kua mate a Haora ratou ko ana tama, whakarerea ake e ratou nga pa, a rere ana; na ka haere nga Pirihitini nohoia iho.
And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 A, i te aonga ake, i te haerenga o nga Pirihitini ki te muru i te hunga i patua, na, ka kitea e ratou a Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru e takoto ana i Maunga Kiripoa.
And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
9 Na tapahia ana e ratou tona upoko, murua ana ana patu, unga ana e ratou kia kawea puta noa i te whenua o nga Pirihitini a tawhio noa, kia kauwhautia i roto i te whare o a ratou whakapakoko, i roto hoki i te iwi.
And they turned him, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
10 A i whakatakotoria e ratou ana patu ki te whare o Ahataroto, ko tona tinana ia i titia e ratou ki te taiepa o Petehana.
And they set up his armor at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
11 A, no ka rongo nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara ki ta nga Pirihitini i mea ai ki a Haora,
And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
12 Ka whakatika nga marohirohi katoa, a haere ana pau noa taua po katoa; na tangohia iho e ratou te tinana o Haora, me nga tinana o ana tama i te taiepa o Petehana, a haere ana ki Iapehe, tahuna ana ki reira.
And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
13 I maua hoki o ratou whenua e ratou, a tanumia ana ki raro i tetahi rakau i Iapehe, a e whitu nga ra i nohopuku ai.
And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
