1 N a ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea, Tenei matou, he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.

And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh we;

2 I mua ake nei, i te mea ano ko Haora te kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai, i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei tino tangata mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.'

3 N a ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, ka whakarite kawenata a Rawiri ki a ratou ki Heperona ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai, ara ko ta Hamuera.

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

4 N a ka haere a Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ara ki Iepuhu; i reira ano nga Iepuhi, nga tangata whenua.

And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem -- it Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

5 N a ka mea nga tangata o Iepuhu ki a Rawiri, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei. Heoi kua riro i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa ia o Rawiri.

And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion -- it the city of David.

6 N a ka mea a Rawiri, Ko te tangata mana te patu tuatahi ki nga Iepuhi, hei tino tangata ia, hei rangatira. Na ko Ioapa tama a Teruia kua tae wawe, a meinga ana ko ia te tino tangata.

And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.

7 N a ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa; koia i huaina ai e ratou a reira ko te pa o Rawiri.

And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;'

8 A i hanga e ia te pa a tawhio noa, o Miro mai a taka noa; a na Ioapa i whakaora tera atu wahi o te pa.

and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.

9 N a ka tino nui haere a Rawiri, i a ia hoki a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.

And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts with him.

10 N a ko nga tino tangata enei a Rawiri, i kaha rawa nei me ia mo tona rangatiratanga, ratou ko Iharaira katoa, hei whakakingi i a ia; hei pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai mo Iharaira.

And these heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.

11 A ko te tokomaha tenei o nga marohirohi a Rawiri: ko Iahopeama, tama a tetahi Hakamoni, te rangatira o te toru tekau; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru a patua iho e ia i te whakaekenga kotahi.

And this an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, at one time.

12 I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi tokotoru.

And after him Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he among the three mighty;

13 I a Rawiri ia i Paharamime, a i huihui nga Pirihitini ki reira ki te whawhai, a i reira tetahi wahi whenua e kapi ana i te parei; na kua rere te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.

he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,

14 N a tu ana raua i waenganui o taua wahi, a ka mau i a raua, patua iho e raua nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.

and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth -- a great salvation.

15 N a ka haere nga rangatira tokotoru, no te toru tekau, ki raro, ki te kamaka ki a Rawiri, ki te ana o Aturama: a ko te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raroraro i Repaima e noho a puni ana.

And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

16 N a i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa, a ko nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i Peterehema i taua wa.

and David then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines then in Beth-Lehem,

17 N a ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, me he tangata hei mea wai mai moku i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!

and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that at the gate!'

18 N a tika ana taua tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia mai ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha; tangohia ana e ratou, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te inu, engari ringihia ana e ia h ei mea ki a Ihowa.

And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

19 I mea ia, Aue, ma toku Atua ahau e arai kei mea i tenei! kia inumia koia e ahau nga toto o enei tangata, me i kotahi nei kua mate? me i kotahi hoki ratou kua mate i te tikinga atu. Na reira i kore ai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua to a tokotoru.

and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it; these did the three mighty ones.

20 N a ko Apihai teina o Ioapa te rangatira o taua tokotoru; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa ia i roto i te tokotoru.

And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, and hath a name among three.

21 O te tokotoru, nui atu tona kororia i to te tokorua, a meinga ana ko ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.

Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the three he hath not come.

22 M e Penaia tama a Iehoiara, he tama na tetahi tangata toa o Kapateere, he nui ana mahi, nana i patu nga tama tokorua a Ariere o Moapa; i haere ano ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te rua i te wa o te hukarere.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.

23 N ana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata nui, e rima nga whatianga te roa: he tao ano i te ringa o taua Ihipiana koia ano kei te rakau a te kaiwhatu; na haere ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko hoki tana, a kapohia ana e ia te tao i roto i te ringa o te Ihipiana, patua iho ia ki tana tao ano.

And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian -- a man of measure, five by the cubit -- and in the hand of the Egyptian a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

24 N a Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; i whai ingoa ano ia i nga toa tokotoru.

These hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

25 N a, nona te kororia nui o te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.

Of the thirty, lo, he honoured, and unto the three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.
