¹¶ Na, muri iho i tenei, ka patua e Rawiri nga Pirihitini, a pehia ana e ia ki raro, tangohia ana e ia a Kata me ona pa ririki i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

¹And it cometh to pass after this, that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and taketh Gath and its small towns out of the hand of the Philistines;

²I patua ano e ia a Moapa: na kua waiho nga Moapi hei pononga ma Rawiri, a homai ana he hakari e ratou.

²and he smiteth Moab, and the Moabites are servants to David, bringing a present.

³I patua ano e Rawiri a Hararetere kingi o Topa a tae noa ki Hamata, i tona haerenga ki te whakau i tona rohe ki te awa, ki Uparati.

³And David smiteth Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in his going to establish his power by the river Phrat,

⁴Na tangohia ana e Rawiri i a ia kotahi mono nga hariata, e whitu mano nga hoia eke hoiho, e rua tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro: a i whakangongea e Rawiri nga hoiho katoa o nga hariata, engari i whakatoea o ratou nga mea mo nga hariata kotahi rau.

⁴and David captureth from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly all the chariots, and leaveth of them a hundred chariots [only].

⁵A, no te haerenga mai o nga Hiriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru i a Hararetere kingi o Topa, patua iho e Rawiri o nga Hiriani e rua tekau ma rua mano tangata.

⁵And Aram of Damascus cometh in to give help to Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David smiteth in Aram twenty and two thousand men,

⁶Katahi ka whakanohoia e Rawiri he hoia pupuri ki Hiria o Ramahiku; a ka waiho nga Hiriani hei pononga ma Rawiri, a homai ana he hakari e ratou. Na homai ana e Ihowa kia toa a Rawiri i ona haerenga katoa.

⁶and David putteth [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the Aramaeans are to David for servants, bearing a present, and Jehovah giveth salvation to David whithersoever he hath gone.

⁷A tangohia ana e Rawiri nga whakangungu rakau koura o nga tangata a Hararetere, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama.

⁷And David taketh the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and bringeth them in to Jerusalem;

⁸A nui atu te parahi i tangohia e Rawiri i Tipihata, i Kunu, i nga pa o Hararetere; no reira te moana parahi, nga pou, me nga oko parahi i hanga nei e Horomona.

⁸and from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, hath David taken very much brass; with it hath Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

⁹¶ A, no te rongonga o Tohu kingi o Hamata kua patua e Rawiri te ope katoa a Hararetere kingi o Topa,

⁹And Tou king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten the whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

¹⁰Ka tonoa e ia a Hatorama, tana tama, ki a Kingi Rawiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia, mona i whawhai ki a Hararetere, i patu hoki i a ia: he hoariri hoki a Hararetere no Tohu; a he taonga ana, te tini o nga oko koura, hiriwa, para hi.

¹⁰and he sendeth Hadoram his son unto king David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him (because that he hath fought against Hadarezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars with Tou had Hadarezer been,) and all kinds of vessels, of gold, and silver, and brass;

¹¹Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura, i maua mai e ia i nga iwi katoa; i nga Eromi, i nga Moapi, i nga tama a Amona, i nga Pirihitini, i nga Amareki.

¹¹also them hath king David sanctified to Jehovah with the silver and the gold that he hath taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

¹²Na i patua hoki e Apihai tama a Teruia etahi o nga Eromi ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma waru mano.

¹²And Abishai son of Zeruiah hath smitten Edom in the valley of salt — eighteen thousand,

¹³I whakanohoia ano e ia he hoia pupuri ki Eroma: a ka meinga nga Eromi katoa hei pononga ma Rawiri. Na homai ana e Ihowa kia toa a Rawiri i ona haerenga katoa.

¹³and he putteth in Edom garrisons, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.

¹⁴Na ko Rawiri te kingi o Iharaira katoa; a i mahi i te whakawa, i te tika mo tona iwi katoa.

¹⁴And David reigneth over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

¹⁵A ko Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira ope, ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara.

¹⁵and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

¹⁶Ko Haroko tama a Ahitupu raua ko Apimereke tama a Apiatara nga tohunga; ko Hawaha hoki te kaituhituhi;

¹⁶and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe,

¹⁷Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mo nga Kereti, mo nga Pereti; ko nga tama ia a Rawiri nga tino rangatira i te taha o te kingi.

¹⁷and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the elder sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
