¹¶ Katahi ka haere nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ki a Rawiri, ki Heperona, a ka korero, ka mea, Tenei matou he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.

¹And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, `Lo, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh;

²A, i mua ake nei, i te mea ko Haora to matou kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei rangatira mo Iharaira.

²also heretofore, in Saul`s being king over us, thou hast been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah saith to thee, Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art for leader over Israel.`

³Na ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, a ka whakaritea he kawenata e te kingi, e Rawiri, ki a ratou ki Heperona, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira.

³And all the elders of Israel come unto the king, to Hebron, and king David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel.

⁴E toru tekau nga tau o Rawiri i tona meatanga hei kingi, a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia.

⁴A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; forty years he hath reigned;

⁵E whitu nga tau e ono nga marama i kingi ai ia i roto i a Hura ki Heperona: e toru tekau ma toru nga tau i kingi ai ia i roto i a Iharaira katoa raua ko Hura ki Hiruharama.

⁵in Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.

⁶¶ Na ka haere te kingi ratou ko ana tangata ki Hiruharama, ki te tu ki nga Iepuhi e noho ana i taua whenua, nana ra te korero ki a Rawiri, te mea, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei ki te kahore koe e pei i nga matapo, i nga kopa: hua noa e kore e taea a tu a reira e Rawiri.

⁶And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, `Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside the blind and the lame;` saying, `David doth not come in hither.`

⁷He ahakoa ra riro ana i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa hoki tera o Rawiri.

⁷And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it [is] the city of David.

⁸I mea hoki a Rawiri i taua ra, Ko te tangata mana e patu nga Iepuhi, kia taea rawatia e ia te rerenga wai, ka patu ai i nga kopa me nga matapo e kinongia nei e te wairua o Rawiri. No reira i mea ai ratou, Tera nga matapo me nga kopa; e kore ia e tomo mai ki te whare.

⁸And David saith on that day, `Any one smiting the Jebusite, (let him go up by the watercourse), and the lame and the blind — the hated of David`s soul,` — because the blind and lame say, `He doth not come into the house.`

⁹Na ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa, a huaina ana a reira, ko te pa o Rawiri. I hanga ano e Rawiri a tawhio noa, o Miro mai ano a haere whakaroto.

⁹And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it — City of David, and David buildeth round about, from Millo and inward,

¹⁰Na ka tino nui haere a Rawiri; i a ia ano a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.

¹⁰and David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

¹¹¶ Na ka unga he karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi rakau, me nga kaimahi o nga kohatu whare; a na ratou i hanga he whare mo Rawiri.

¹¹And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-trees, and artificers of wood, and artificers of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,

¹²Na ka mohio a Rawiri kua whakapumautia ia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira, a kua whakanuia e ia tona kingitanga, he whakaaro hoki ki tana iwi, ki a Iharira.

¹²and David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, and that He hath lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.

¹³Na ka tango ano a Rawiri i etahi wahine iti mana, me etahi wahine tupu i Hiruharama, i muri i tona haerenga mai i Heperona. Na ka whanau ano he tama, he tamahine ma Rawiri.

¹³And David taketh again concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and there are born again to David sons and daughters.

¹⁴Ko nga ingoa enei o ana i whanau ki Hiruharama; ko Hamua, ko Hopapa, ko Natana, ko Horomona,

¹⁴And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

¹⁵Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua; ko Nepeke, ko Iapai;

¹⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

¹⁶Ko Erihama, ko Eriara, ko Eriperete.

¹⁶and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

¹⁷¶ A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua whakawahia a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri, a ka rongo a Rawiri, na haere ana ia ki te pourewa.

¹⁷And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth down unto the fortress,

¹⁸Na kua tae mai nga Pirihitini, kua tohatoha i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.

¹⁸and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁹Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki runga ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Ka mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, Haere, ka tino hoatu hoki e ahau nga Pirihitini ki tou ringa.

¹⁹And David asketh of Jehovah, saying, `Do I go up unto the Philistines? dost Thou give them into my hand?` And Jehovah saith unto David, `Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.`

²⁰Na ko te haerenga o Rawiri ki Paara Peratimi, patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea ia, Pakaru ana i a Ihowa oku hoariri i toku aroaro, koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, ko Paara Peratimi.

²⁰And David cometh in to Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and saith, `Jehovah hath broken forth [on] mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters;` therefore he hath called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.

²¹I mahue ano i a ratou a ratou whakapakoko i reira, a maua atu ana e Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata.

²¹And they forsake there their idols, and David and his men lift them up.

²²Na ka haere ake ano nga Pirihitini, a tohatoha ana i a ratou ki te raorao o Repaima.

²²And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim,

²³Na ka ui a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, a ka mea mai ia, Kaua e haere ki runga; engari me haere awhio atu ki muri i a ratou, ka whakaputa ai ki a ratou i te ritenga atu o nga rakau maperi.

²³and David asketh of Jehovah, and He saith, `Thou dost not go up, turn round unto their rear, and thou hast come to them over-against the mulberries,

²⁴A ka rangona e koe he haruru haere i nga kouru o nga maperi, ko reira koe korikori ai; no te mea ko te haerenga atu tena o Ihowa i tou aroaro ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.

²⁴and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in the camp of the Philistines.`

²⁵Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini i Kepa a tae noa koe ki Katere.

²⁵And David doth so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smiteth the Philistines from Geba unto thy coming to Gazer.
