1 Crônicas 20

1 At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it. 2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold,*20:2 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city. 3 He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

4 After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

5 Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 6 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant. 7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. 8 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

Te Pāhoro a Rapa

1 Ā, i te takanga o te tau, i te wā e haere ai ngā kīngi ki te whawhai, nā, ka ārahina atu he taua māia e Ioapa, ā, hunā iho e rātou te whenua o ngā tama a Āmona, haere ana, kei te whakapae i Rapa. Ko Rāwiri ia i noho ki Hiruhārama. Nā, ka patua a Rapa e Ioapa, ngaro ana i a ia. 2 Tangohia ana e Rāwiri te karauna o tō rātou kīngi i tōna mātenga, ā, ko tōna taimaha i kitea e ia, kotahi taranata kōura, he kōhatu utu nui anō o taua karauna; pōtaea iho ki te mātenga o Rāwiri. I whakaputaina anō e ia ngā taonga o te pā, tōna tini. 3 Nā, ko ngā tāngata i roto, whakaputaina ana e ia ki waho, poroporoa iho e ia ki te kani, ki te rakaraka rino, ki te toki. Ko tā Rāwiri tēnei i mea ai ki ngā pā katoa o ngā tama a Āmona. Nā, hoki ana a Rāwiri me te iwi katoa ki Hiruhārama.

He Whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini

4 Ā, i muri iho i tēnei ka tupu te whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini ki Kētere; kātahi ka patua e Hipekai Huhati a Hipai o ngā tama a Rapa, nā, pēhia ana rātou ki raro.

5 Ā, ka ara anō he whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini; nā, ka patua e Erehanana, tama a Iāre, a Rahami teina o Koriata o Kāta, ko te kakau o tāna taoroa, rite tonu ki te rākau a te kaiwhatu.

6 Nā, i whawhai anō ki Kāta, ā, i reira tētahi tangata roa, ko ngā maihao o ōna ringa me ōna waewae e rua tekau mā whā, takiono ki ia ringa, ā, takiono ki ia waewae; ā, he uri ia nō Rapa. 7 I tāna whakataranga i a Īharaira, patua ana ia e Honatana tama a Himea tuakana o Rāwiri.

8 I whānau ēnei a Rapa ki Kāta; ā, hinga ana i te ringa o Rāwiri, i te ringa anō o āna tāngata.
