1 S o David left there and ran to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all those of his father’s house heard about it, they went down there to him.

Na ka haere atu a Rawiri i reira, a rere ana ki te ana o Aturama. A ka rongo ona tuakana, me te whare katoa o tona papa, na ka haere ki reira, ki a ia.

2 T hen everyone who was in trouble, everyone who owed money, and everyone who was not happy with the way he was living, came together to him. He became their captain. There were about 400 men with him.

I huihui ano ki a ia nga tangata katoa e pehia ana e te aha, e te aha, me nga tangata i a ratou nei etahi taonga tarewa, me nga tangata katoa e mamae ana te ngakau: a ko ia hei rangatira mo ratou, tata tonu ki te wha rau nga tangata i piri ki a i a.

3 D avid went from there to Mizpah of Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “I beg of you, let my father and mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”

Na ka haere atu a Rawiri i reira ki Mihipa o Moapa, ka mea ki te kingi Moapa, Tukua toku papa me toku whaea kia haere mai ki a koutou, kia mohio ra ano ahau ki ta te Atua e mea ai ki ahau.

4 T hen he left them with the king of Moab. They stayed with him all the time that David was in his safe place.

Na ka kawea raua e ia ki te aroaro o te kingi o Moapa, a noho ana kaua ki a ia i nga ra katoa i noho ai a Rawiri i te pourewa

5 T he man who told what will happen in the future, Gad, said to David, “Do not stay in this strong place. Leave, and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went among the trees of Hereth.

Na ka mea a Kara poropiti ki a Rawiri, Kaua e noho ki te pourewa, whakatika, haere ki te whenua o hura. Na ka haere a Rawiri, a noho ana i te nehenehe i Harete

6 N ow Saul heard that David and the men with him had been found. Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the high place with his spear in his hand. All his servants were standing around him.

A, no te rongonga o Haora kua kitea a Rawiri ratou ko ona hoa, na i Kipea a Haora e noho ana, i raro i tetahi rakau, i Rama, me tana tao i tona ringa, me te tu ana tangata katoa i tona taha;

7 S aul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and grape fields? Will he make you all leaders of thousands and hundreds?

Ka mea a Haora ki ana tangata e tu ana i tona taha, Whakarongo mai ki ahau, e nga Pinemini; e homai ranei e te tama a Hehe he mara ki a koutou katoa, he kari waina, e meinga ranei koutou katoa e ia hei rangatira mano, hei rangatira rau;

8 F or all of you have made plans against me. No one lets me know when my son makes an agreement with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or lets me know that my son has caused my servant to be against me and hide and wait, as it is this day.”

I whakatenetene mai ai koutou ki ahau; a kahore tetahi hei whakaatu ki ahau i te whakaritenga kawenata a taku tama raua ko te tama a Hehe: kahore tetahi o koutou e pouri moku, e whaki ranei ki ahau, na taku tama i whakatutehu taku tangata ki ahau, kia whanga puku, penei me tenei inaianei?

9 D oeg the Edomite, who was standing by Saul’s servants, said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

Katahi ka oho mai ko Roeke Eromi, he kaitohutohu no nga tangata a Haora, ka mea, I kite ahau i te tama a Hehe e haere ana ki Nopo, ki a Ahimereke tama a Ahitupu.

10 A himelech asked the Lord what David should do. He gave David food and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

Na uia ana e tera he tikanga mana i a Ihowa; i hoatu ano e ia he o mona; ko te hoari hoki a Koriata Pirihitini i hoatu ano e ia ki a ia.

11 T hen the king sent someone to call Ahimelech the religious leader, son of Ahitub, and all those of his father’s family, the religious leaders who were in Nob. And all of them came to the king.

Katahi te kingi ka unga tangata atu hei karanga i te tohunga, i a Ahimereke tama a Ahitupu ratou ko te whare katoa o tona papa, i nga tohunga e noho ana i Nopo, a ka haere katoa mai ratou ki te kingi.

12 S aul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”

Na ka mea a Haora, Whakarongo mai, e te tama a Ahitupu. A ka mea tera, Tenei ahau, e toku ariki.

13 S aul said to him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse planned against me? Why have you given him bread and a sword, and have asked the Lord what he should do, so he could rise against me and wait in hiding, as it is this day?”

Ano ra ko Haora ki a ia, He aha korua ko te tama a Hehe i whakatenetene mai ai ki ahau, a hoatu ana e koe he taro mana, he hoari, uia ana ano e koe he tikanga mana i te Atua, kia whakatika mai ai ia ki ahau whanga ai; koia ano tenei inaianei?

14 A himelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law. He is captain of the soldiers who keep you safe, and is honored in your house.

Na ka utu a Ahimereke ki te kingi, ka mea, Ha, ko wai o au tangata katoa hei rite mo Rawiri te pono? ko te hunaonga hoki ia a te kingi, e haere ana i tau ngare, e whakahonoretia ana hoki i roto i tou whare?

15 I s today the first time that I have asked things of God for him? No! Do not let the king do anything wrong to his servant or any of those of my father’s family. For your servant knows nothing at all about this.”

No tenei ra koia i timata ai ahau ki te ui mea mana i te Atua? kahore rapea! kaua tetahi mea e whakairia mai e te kingi ki tana pononga, ki tetahi ranei o te whare o toku papa: kahore hoki tau pononga i mohio ki tetahi aha o tenei, ahakoa iti, a hakoa rahi.

16 B ut the king said, “You will die for sure, Ahimelech, you and all those of your father’s family!”

Na ka mea te kingi, Ko te mate anake mou, e Ahimereke, mou, mo te whare katoa ano o tou papa.

17 T he king said to the soldiers who stood around him, “Turn and put the religious leaders of the Lord to death. Because they are on David’s side. They knew he was running away, and did not tell me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to go against the religious leaders of the Lord.

Na ka mea te kingi ki nga kaitiaki e tu ana i tona taha, Tahuri atu, whakamatea nga tohunga a Ihowa; he mea ko o ratou ringa ano kei a Rawiri; i mohio hoki ratou e rere ana ia, a kihai i whakaatu mai ki ahau. Otiia kihai i pai nga tangata a te k ingi kia totoro atu o ratou ringa, kia rere ki runga ki nga tohunga a Ihowa.

18 T hen the king said to Doeg, “You turn and kill the religious leaders.” And Doeg the Edomite turned and killed the religious leaders. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen vest.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Roeke, Tahuri atu, e rere ki runga ki nga tohunga. Na tahuri ana a Roeke, Eromi, a rere ana ki runga ki nga tohunga, a e waru tekau ma rima nga tangata i patua e ia i taua ra, he hunga kakahu i te epora rinena.

19 T hen he destroyed Nob, the city of the religious leaders, with the sword. He killed men and women, children and babies, cattle, donkeys and sheep, with the sword.

I patua ano hoki e ia a Nopo, te pa o nga tohunga, ki te mata o te hoari, te tane, te wahine, nga tamariki, nga mea ngote u, nga kau, nga kaihe, nga hipi, ki te mata o te hoari.

20 B ut Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, got away and ran after David.

Na i mawhiti tetahi o nga tama a Ahimereke tama a Ahitupu, tona ingoa ko Apiatara; a rere ana ki te whai i a Rawiri.

21 A biathar told David that Saul had killed the religious leaders of the Lord.

A na Apiatara i korero ki a Rawiri ta Haora patunga i nga tohunga a Ihowa.

22 D avid said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would be sure to tell Saul. I am to blame for the death of every person in your father’s family.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apiatara, I mohio ano ahau i taua ra i a Roeke Eromi i kona, ka whakaaturia e ia ki a Haora. Naku i mate ai nga tangata katoa o te whare o tou papa.

23 S tay with me. Do not be afraid. For he who wants to kill me wants to kill you. But you are safe with me.”

E noho koe ki ahau, kaua e wehi; ko te tangata hoki e whai ana i te mate moku, e whai ana i te mate mou: na kei ahau nei koe, ka tiakina koe.
