1 Whakapapa 14

1 Na ka tonoa etahi karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi kohatu, me nga kaimahi rakau, hei hanga whare mona.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

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

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.

3 Na ka tangohia ano e Rawiri he wahine mana ki Hiruharama; a ka whanau ano etahi atu tama, etahi atu tamahine ma Rawiri.

David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

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

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

5 Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua, ko Ereparete;

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6 Ko Noka, ko Nepeke, ko Iapia;

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7 Ko Erihama, ko Peeriara, ko Eriparete.

Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua oti a Rawiri te whakawahi hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri. A ka rongo a Rawiri, a ka puta ia ki te tu i a ratou.

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.

9 Na, tera nga Pirihitini kua haere mai, a kua takahi i te raorao o Repaima.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

10 Na ka ui a Rawiri ki te Atua, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere; ka hoatu hoki ratou e ahau ki tou ringa.

David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”

11 Heoi kua tae mai ratou ki Paaraperatimi; patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Pakaru ana i te Atua oku hoariri, he mea na toku ringa; koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi ko Paaraperatimi.

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

12 A mahue ana i a ratou o ratou atua ki reira; na ka whakahau a Rawiri, a tahuna ana ki te ahi.

They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.

13 Na ka takahia ano e nga Pirihitini te raorao.

The Philistines made another raid in the valley.

14 A ka ui ano a Rawiri ki te Atua, a ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Kaua e haere ki te wahi i a ratou: me tahuri i a ratou, ka awhio haere ki a ratou, ka whakaeke i a ratou i te ritenga o nga maperi.

David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

15 A, ka rangona e koe te tapuwae haruru i runga i nga maperi, ko reira koe puta ai ki te whawhai; no te mea kua riro te Atua ki mua i a koe ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

16 Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ratou te ope o nga Pirihitini i Kipeono, a tae noa ki Katere.

David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17 Na kua paku te ingoa o Rawiri ki nga whenua katoa; a ka mea a Ihowa i te wehi ki a ia kia pa ki nga iwi katoa.

The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
