Ngā Wikitōria a Rāwiri

1 Nā, muri iho i tēnei, ka patua e Rāwiri ngā Pirihitini, ā, pēhia ana e ia ki raro; tangohia ana e ia a Kāta me ōna pā ririki i te ringa o ngā Pirihitini.

2 I patua anō e ia a Moapa, nā, kua waiho ngā Moapi hei pononga mā Rāwiri, ā, hōmai ana he hākari e rātou.

3 I patua anō e Rāwiri a Hararētere kīngi o Topa ā tae noa ki Hāmata, i tōna haerenga ki te whakaū i tōna rohe ki te awa, ki Uparati. 4 Nā, tangohia ana e Rāwiri i a ia kotahi mano ngā hāriata, e whitu mano ngā hōia eke hōiho, e rua tekau mano ngā tāngata haere i raro. Ā, i whakangongea e Rāwiri ngā hōiho katoa o ngā hāriata, engari i whakatoea o rātou ngā mea mō ngā hāriata kotahi rau.

5 Ā, nō te haerenga mai o ngā Hīriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru i a Hararētere kīngi o Topa, patua iho e Rāwiri o ngā Hīriani e rua tekau mā rua mano tāngata. 6 Kātahi ka whakanohoia e Rāwiri he hōia pupuri ki Hīria o Ramahiku; ā, ka waiho ngā Hīriani hei pononga mā Rāwiri, ā, hōmai ana he hākari e rātou. Nā, hōmai ana e Ihowā kia toa a Rāwiri i ōna haerenga katoa.

7 Ā, tangohia ana e Rāwiri ngā whakangungu rākau kōura o ngā tāngata a Hararētere, ā, kawea ana ki Hiruhārama. 8 Ā, nui atu te parāhi i tangohia e Rāwiri i Tipihata, i Kunu; i ngā pā o Hararētere; nō reira te moana parāhi, ngā pou, me ngā oko parāhi i hangā nei e Horomona.

9 Ā, nō te rongonga o Tohu kīngi o Hāmata kua patua e Rāwiri te ope katoa a Hararētere kīngi o Topa, 10 ka tonoa e ia a Hatorama, tāna tama, ki a Kīngi Rāwiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia, mōna i whawhai ki a Hararētere, i patu hoki i a ia. He hoariri hoki a Hararētere nō Tohu; ā, he taonga ana, te tini o ngā oko kōura, hiriwa, parāhi.

11 Whakatapua ake ērā e Kīngi Rāwiri mā Ihowā hei tāpiri mō te hiriwa, mō te kōura, i maua mai e ia i ngā iwi katoa, i ngā Ēromi, i ngā Moapi, i ngā tama a Āmona, i ngā Pirihitini, i ngā Amareki.

12 Nā, i patua hoki e Āpihai tama a Teruia ētahi o ngā Ēromi ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau mā waru mano. 13 I whakanohoia anō e ia he hōia pupuri ki Ēroma; ā, ka meinga ngā Ēromi katoa hei pononga mā Rāwiri. Nā, hōmai ana e Ihowā kia toa a Rāwiri i ōna haerenga katoa.

Ngā Tino Rangatira a Rāwiri

14 Nā, ko Rāwiri te kīngi o Īharaira katoa; ā, i mahi i te whakawā, i te tika mō tōna iwi katoa. 15 Ā, ko Ioapa tama a Teruia te rangatira ope, ko Iehohāpata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara. 16 Ko Hāroko tama a Ahitupu rāua ko Apīmereke tama a Apiātara ngā tohunga; ko Hawaha hoki te kaituhituhi; 17 ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mō ngā Kereti, mō ngā Pereti; ko ngā tama ia a Rāwiri ngā tino rangatira i te taha o te kīngi.

1 And 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. 2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots.

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went. 7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah, 10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. 11 These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. 13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

14 And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
