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 after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its 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 smote the Moabites; and the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.

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 smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

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 took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.

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 the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-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 put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.

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

⁷And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them 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, David took very much brass, of which 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 heard that David had smitten all the forces 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 sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer was continually at war with Tou; [he sent] also all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.

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.

¹¹Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had brought from all the nations: from the Edomites, and from the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites.

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

¹²And Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites 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 put garrisons in Edom; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.

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

¹⁴And David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice to all his people.

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

¹⁵And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;

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

¹⁶and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was 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 the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were the first at the king's hand.
