2 Samuel 16-18
Maori Bible
16 A, he iti nei te haerenga atu o Rawiri i te tihi o te pikitanga, na ko Tipa, tangata a Mepipohete kua tutaki ki a ia, me nga kaihe e rua, whakanoho rawa; ko te pikaunga, he taro e rua rau, he tautau karepe maroke kotahi rau, he hua raumati kotahi rau, he ipu waina.
2 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Tipa, Hei aha enei mau? A ka mea a Tipa, Hei eke mo te whare o te kingi nga kaihe; hei kai ma nga tamariki te taro me nga hua raumati; hei inu ano te waina ma te hunga e ngenge ana i te koraha.
3 Na ka mea te kingi, A kei hea te tama a tou ariki? Ano ra ko Tipa ki te kingi, Kei Hiruharama tera e noho ana; i mea hoki, Ko aianei te whare o Iharaira whakahoki mai ai i te kingitanga o toku papa ki ahau.
4 Katahi te kingi ka mea ki a Tipa, Nana, mau katoa nga mea a Mepipohete. Na ka mea a Tipa, E piko atu nei ahau; kia manakohia ahau e koe, e toku ariki, e te kingi.
5 A, no ka tae a Kingi Rawiri ki Pahurimi, na ka puta mai ki reira he tangata no te hapu o te whare o Haora, ko tona ingoa ko Himei, ko te tama a Kera: ko tona putanga mai e kanga haere ana.
6 Epaina ana hoki e ia ki te kohatu a Rawiri me nga tangata katoa a Kingi Rawiri; na, ko te iwi katoa, ratou ko nga toa katoa kei tona matau, kei tona maui.
7 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Himei i a ia e kanga ana, Puta atu, puta atu, e te tangata toto, e te tangata o Periara.
8 Kua whakahokia e Ihowa ki a koe nga toto katoa o te whare o Haora; ko koe na hoki te kingi i muri i a ia; a kua hoatu e Ihowa te kingitanga ki te ringa o Apoharama, o tau tama. Na kei tou kino na ano koe, he tangata toto na hoki koe.
9 Katahi ka mea a Apihai tama a Teruia ki te kingi, He aha tenei kuri mate i kanga ai ki toku ariki, ki te kingi? tena, kia whiti atu ahau ki te pouto i tona upoko.
10 Na ka mea te kingi, Hei aha maku ta korua, e nga tama a Teruia? He kanganga nana, he meatanga na Ihowa ki a ia, Kanga a Rawiri; ko wai tena hei mea, He aha koe i pena ai?
11 I mea ano a Rawiri ki a Apihai ratou ko ana tangata katoa, Nana, ko taku tama i puta nei i roto i oku whekau te whai nei kia whakamatea ahau; na, tera noa ake aianei he mea ma tenei Pineamini. Waiho atu, tukua ia kia kanga; na Ihowa hoki i mea k i a ia.
12 Tera pea a Ihowa e titiro ki toku mate, e homai i te pai ki ahau hei utu mo tana kanga ki ahau i tenei ra.
13 Na haere ana a Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata i te huarahi; me te haere ano a Himei i te taha o te maunga i tona ritenga mai: haere ana me te kanga, me te epa i te kohatu ki tona ritenga mai, me te akiri ano i te puehu.
14 Na haere ngenge ana te kingi ratou ko tona nuinga, a okioki ana ki reira.
15 Na ka tae mai a Apoharama ratou ko te iwi katoa, nga tangata o Iharaira ki Hiruharama; ko Ahitopere hoki tona hoa.
16 Na, i te taenga o Huhai Araki, o te hoa o Rawiri, ki a Apoharama, na ka mea a Huhai ki a Apoharama, Kia ora te kingi, kia ora te kingi!
17 Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a Huhai, Ko tou aroha tena ki tou hoa? he aha koe te haere tahi ai i tou hoa?
18 Na ka mea a Huhai ki a Apoharama, Kahore, engari ko ta Ihowa, ko ta tenei iwi, ko ta nga tangata katoa o Iharaira e whiriwhiri ai, hei a ia he tikanga moku, a me noho ahau ki a ia.
19 Na, tetahi, kia mahi ahau ki a wai? kaua ianei ahau e mahi ki te aroaro o tana tama? ka rite ki taku mahi ki te aroaro o tou papa taku ki tou aroaro.
20 Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a Ahitopere, Tena koa ou whakaaro me ahau tatou?
21 Na ka mea a Ahitopere ki a Apoharama, Haere ki nga wahine iti a tou papa, i waiho nei e ia hei tiaki i te whare, a ka rongo a Iharaira katoa kua piro whakarihariha koe ki tou papa, na ka kaha nga ringa o tou nuinga katoa.
22 Na whakaturia ana tetahi teneti e ratou mo Apoharama ki runga ki te tuanui; a haere ana a Apoharama ki roto, ki nga wahine iti a tona papa i te tirohanga a Iharaira katoa.
23 Na, ko te whakaaro o Ahitopere i whakaaro ai ia i aua ra, me te mea e uia ana he tikanga ki ta te Atua kupu. Pera tonu nga whakaaro katoa o Ahitopere ki a raua tokorua, ki a Rawiri, ki a Apoharama.
17 I mea ano a Ahitopere ki a Apoharama, Tena kia whiriwhiria etahi tangata e ahau, kia kotahi tekau ma rua mano, kia whakatika ahau ki te whai i a Rawiri i te po nei.
2 A ka huakina ia e ahau i a ia e ngenge ana, i nga ringa e kahakore ana; na ka whakaoho ahau i a ia, a ka rere tona nuinga katoa, ko reira ahau patu ai i te kingi, i a ia anake;
3 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau te iwi katoa ki a koe: ko te hokinga mai tenei o te katoa, ki te mau te tangata e whaia nei e koe, penei ka ata noho te iwi katoa.
4 Na tika tonu taua kupu ki te whakaaro o Apoharama, ki te whakaaro hoki o nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira.
5 Na ka mea a Apoharama, Tena, karangatia ano hoki a Huhai Araki, kia rongo ai tatou ki tana kupu.
6 A, no te taenga o Huhai ki a Apoharama, ka korero a Apoharama ki a ia, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei i korero ai a Ahitopere: me mea ranei e tatou tana i korero ai? ki te kahore, korero mai?
7 Na ka mea a Huhai ki a Apoharama, ko te whakaaro i whakaaro ai a Ahitopere i tenei wa nei, kahore i pai.
8 I mea hoki a Huhai, E mohio ana koe ki tou papa, ratou ko ana tangata, he toa ratou, e mamae ana hoki o ratou ngakau, e rite tonu ana ki te pea kua tangohia nei ana kuao i te parae; he tangata whawhai hoki tou papa; e kore e moe i roto i nga tang ata.
9 Nana, kei te piri tera i roto i tetahi rua, i tetahi atu wahi ranei; na, akauanei, hei te hinganga o etahi o ratou i te timatanga, a ka rongo tetahi, ka ki ia, Kua pa te patu ki te hunga e whai ana i a Apoharama.
10 Ahakoa ko wai tetahi toa, i rite tona ngakau ki to te raiona, ka ngohe noa iho: e mohio ana hoki a Iharaira katoa he marohirohi tou papa, he toa hoki ana tangata.
11 Koia ahau ka mea ai, Me ata kohikohi ki a koe a Iharaira katoa, o Rana a tae noa ki Peerehepa; kia rite ki te onepu i te moana te tini; me haere ano hoki koe, a koe na ano, ki te tatauranga.
12 Na ka whakaekea ia e tatou ki tetahi wahi e kitea ai ia; a ka tau iho ki runga ki a ia, ka pera ano me te tomairangi e tau ana ki runga ki te oneone: a ko ia me ana tangata katoa, e kore e mahu tetai i a tatou ahakoa kia kotahi nei.
13 A ki te tomo ia ki tetahi pa, na, ka mau taura atu a Iharaira katoa ki taua pa, ka toia taua pa e tatou ki roto ki te awa, kia kore ra ano e kitea tetahi kohatu, ahakoa ririki, ki reira.
14 Na ka mea a Apoharama ratou ko nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, Pai atu te whakaaro o Huhai Araki i te whakaaro o Ahitopere. Na Ihowa hoki te tikanga kia whakataka te whakaaro pai o Ahitopere, kia kawea ai he kino e Ihowa ki runga ki a Apoharama.
15 Katahi a Huhai ka mea ki nga tohunga, ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, Ko nga whakaaro tenei o Ahitopere ki a Apoharama ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira; ko oku whakaaro hoki enei i whakatakoto atu nei.
16 Na kia hohoro te tono tangata ki te whakaatu ki a Rawiri. Mea atu, Kaua e moe i tenei po ki nga kauanga i te koraha; engari kia hohoro te whiti atu, kei horomia ake te kingi me tona nuinga katoa.
17 Na i Enerokere a Honatana raua ko Ahimaata e tatari ana; kihai hoki i ahei kia kitea e haere mai ana ki te pa: na ka haere tetahi pononga wahine, ka whakaatu ki a raua, a haere ana raua ki te whakaatu ki a Kingi Rawiri.
18 Otiia i kitea raua e tetahi taitamariki, a korerotia atu ana e ia ki a Apoharama: heoi hohoro tonu raua, a ka tae ki te whare o tetahi tangata i Pahurimi. Na he poka wai tana i tona marae, a heke iho ana raua ki reira.
19 Na ka tikina tetahi hipoki e te wahine, taupokina ana e ia ki te poka, na horahia ana e ia he witi tuki ki runga, a kihai taua mea i mohiotia.
20 Na ka tae nga tangata a Apoharama ki te wahine, ki te whare, ka mea, Kei hea a Ahimaata raua ko Honatana? Na ka mea te wahine ki a ratou, Kua whiti raua i te awa wai. Na ka rapu ratou, a kihai i kitea, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama.
21 A, i muri i to ratou haerenga, ka piki ake raua i roto i te poka, a haere ana, whakaatu ana ki a Kingi Rawiri; i mea ki a Rawiri, Whakatika, hohoro koutou te whiti atu i te wai nei; ko te whakaaro hoki tenei o Ahitopere mo koutou.
22 Katahi ka whakatika a Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, a whiti ana i Horano: ao rawa ake te ra, kihai tetahi i kore te whiti i Horano.
23 A, i te kitenga o Ahitopere kihai i meatia tana i whakaaro ai, whakanohoia ana e ia tana kaihe, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki tona whare ki tona pa, na kei te whakariterite i nga mea o tona whare, tarona ana i a ia, a mate ake, tanumia iho ki te tanumanga o tona papa.
24 Katahi ka haere a Rawiri ki Mahanaima. A i whiti ano a Apoharama i Horano me nga tangata katoa o Iharaira.
25 A ka meatia a Amaha e Apoharama hei whakakapi mo Ioapa, hei rangatira mo te ope: na he tama a Amaha na tetahi tangata, ko Itira tona ingoa, no Iharaira, i haere nei ki roto, ki a Apikaira tamahine a Nahaha, ki te teina o Teruia whaea o Ioapa.
26 Na noho ana a Iharaira ratou ko Apoharama ki te whenua o Kireara.
27 A, no te taenga o Rawiri ki Mahanaima, ka kawea mai e Hopi tama a Nahaha o Rapa o nga tama a Amona, e Makiri tama a Amiere o Rotepara, ratou ko Paratirai Kireari o Rokerimi,
28 He moenga, he peihana, he oko oneone, he witi, he parei, he paraoa, he kanga pahuhu, he pini, he pi, me etahi atu mea pahuhu,
29 He honi, he pata, he hipi, me te tiihi, hei kai ma Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga: i mea hoki ratou, E matekai ana te iwi, e ngenge ana, e matewai ana i te koraha.
18 Na ka taua e Rawiri tona nuinga, a whakaritea ana e ia he rangatira mano mo ratou, he rangatira rau.
2 Na, ka tonoa te iwi e Rawiri; ko tetahi kotahi toru i raro i te ringa o Ioapa, ko tetahi kotahi toru i raro i te ringa o Apihai tama a Teruia, teina o Ioapa, a ko tetahi kotahi toru hoki i raro i te ringa o Itai Kiti. I mea ano te kingi ki te iwi, He pono ka haere tahi atu ano hoki ahau i a koutou.
3 Na ka mea te iwi, Kaua koe e puta ki waho: ki te rere hoki matou, e kore ratou e whai whakaaro ki a matou; ahakoa ko te hawhe o matou i mate, e kore ratou e whai whakaaro ki a matou: tena ko koe, e rite ana koe ki nga mano kotahi tekau o matou; n o reira he pai ke ko koe hei awhina ake mo matou i roto i te pa.
4 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ratou, Me mea e ahau nga mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro. Na tu ana te kingi ki te taha o te kuwaha, me te puta atu te iwi, ona rau, ona mano.
5 A i ako te kingi ki a Ioapa, ki a Apihai, ki a Itai, i mea, Mahara ki ahau, kia ata hanga hoki ki taua taitama, ki a Apoharama. I rongo ano te iwi katoa i te kingi e ako ana i nga rangatira katoa ki te tikanga mo Apoharama.
6 Na ko te putanga o te iwi ki te parae ki te tu ki a Iharaira: a i te ngahere o Eparaima te whawhai.
7 Na patua iho i reira nga tangata o Iharaira e nga tangata a Rawiri, nui atu te parekura i reira i taua ra, e rua tekau mano tangata.
8 A tohatoha noa i reira te whawhai ki te mata katoa o te whenua: tokomaha atu o te iwi i pau i te ngahere i nga mea i pau i te hoari i taua ra.
9 Na ka tupono a Apoharama ki nga tangata a Rawiri. I runga ano i te muera a Apoharama e noho ana. Na ko te haerenga o te muera i raro i nga peka matotoru o tetahi oki nui. Kua mau tona matenga ki te oki, a tarewa ana ia i te takiwa o te rangi, o t e whenua; haere atu ana te muera i raro i a ia.
10 Na ka kite tetahi tangata, whakaaturia ana e ia ki a Ioapa; i mea hoki, Nana, i kite ahau i a Apoharama e iri ana i tetahi oki.
11 Na ka mea a Ioapa ki taua tangata nana nei i whakaatu ki a ia, Ha, i kite koe, a he aha ia te patua ai e koe i reira ki te whenua? penei tekau nga hekere hiriwa kua hoatu e ahau ki a koe, me tetahi whitiki.
12 Na ka mea taua tangata ki a Ioapa, Ahakoa ka riro mai i toku ringa nga pihi hiriwa kotahi mano, pauna rawa, e kore e totoro toku ringa ki te tama a te kingi; i a tatou hoki e whakarongo ana i ako te kingi i a koe, i a Apihai, i a Itai, i mea, Ki a tupato kei pa tetahi ki te taitama ra, ki a Apoharama.
13 Mehemea hoki i mahi teka ahau, i mea i te mate mona; e kore hoki tetahi mea e ngaro i te kingi: i reira ko koe tonu na e tu ke i ahau.
14 Katahi a Ioapa ka mea, E kore e pai kia roa ahau nei i a koe. Na ka mau tona ringa ki etahi tao e toru, werohia atu ana e ia ki te ngakau o Apoharama, i a ia ano e ora ana i waenganui o te oki.
15 Na karapotia ana ia e nga taitama kotahi tekau, e nga kaimau patu a Ioapa, a patua ana a Apoharama e ratou, whakamatea ana.
16 Na whakatangihia ana e Ioapa te tetere, a hoki ana te iwi i te whai i a Iharaira. Na Ioapa hoki i pehi te iwi.
17 Na ka mau ratou ki a Apoharama, ka maka i a ia ki tetahi poka nui i te ngahere, a nui atu te puranga kohatu i haupuria ki runga ki a ia, a whati ana a Iharaira katoa ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
18 Na i tona oranga i tikina e Apoharama, i whakaarahia te pou mona, ko tera i te raorao o te kingi; i mea hoki ia, Kahore aku tama e maharatia ai toku ingoa: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ki taua pou: e huaina nei ano a reira, ko te tohu a Apohara ma a tae noa ki tenei ra.
19 Katahi ka mea a Ahimaata tama a Haroko, Tukua ahau kia rere ki te korero ki te kingi i ta Ihowa whakatikanga i tana whakawa ki ona hoariri.
20 Na ka mea a Ioapa, Kaua koe e kawe korero i tenei ra; engari me kawe korero koe a tetahi atu ra; i tenei ra ia e kore koe e kawe korero; kua mate hoki te tama a te kingi.
21 Katahi ka mea a Ioapa ki te Kuhi, Haere, korerotia ki te kingi tau i kite ai. Na ka piko iho te Kuhi ki a Ioapa, a rere ana.
22 Katahi ka mea ano a Ahimaata tama a Haroko ki a Ioapa, He ahakoa pehea, kia rere ano ahau i muri i te Kuhi. A ka mea a Ioapa, Kia rere koe hei aha, e taku tama? kahore nei hoki he painga ki a koe o nga korero.
23 He ahakoa ra, e ai ki tana, me rere ano ahau. Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E rere. Katahi ka rere a Ahimaata i te ara o te mania, a ka mahue te Kuhi.
24 Na e noho ana a Rawiri i waenganui i nga kuwaha e rua; i piki ano te kaititiro ki te tuanui i runga i te kuwaha, ki te taiepa; ko te marangatanga ake o ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko tetahi tangata e rere mai ana, tona kotahi.
25 Na ka karanga te kaititiro, ka whakaatu ki te kingi. Ano ra ko te kingi, Ki te mea ko ia anake, he korero kei tona mangai. Na haere tonu mai ana tera, a ka tata.
26 I kite ano te kaititiro i tetahi atu tangata e rere mai ana, a ka karanga iho te kaititiro ki te kaitiaki o te kuwaha, ka mea, Tera he tangata e rere mai ra, ko ia anake. A ka mea te kingi, He korero ano ta tera.
27 Na ka mea te kaititiro, Ki taku titiro rite tonu te rere a te tuatahi ki te rere a Ahimaata tama a Haroko. A ka mea te kingi, He tangata pai ia, e haere mai ana me nga korero pai.
28 Na ka karanga a Ahimaata, ka mea ki te kingi, Kei te pai katoa. Na ka piko iho tona mata ki te whenua ki te aroaro o te kingi, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua, nana nei i tuku mai nga tangata i totoro nei to ratou ringa ki toku arik i, ki te kingi.
29 Na ka mea te kingi, Kei te pai ranei te taitama a Apoharama? Ano ra ko Ahimaata, I te tononga a Ioapa i te tangata a te kingi, i ahau, i tau pononga, i kite ahau i te ngangau nui, heoi kihai i mohio he aha ranei.
30 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Haere ake, e tu ki konei. Na haere ana ia, a tu ana.
31 Na ko te haerenga mai o te Kuhi; a ka mea te Kuhi, He korero, e toku ariki, e te kingi; kua whakatikaia hoki e Ihowa tau whakawa i te hunga i whakatika mai ra ki a koe.
32 Ano ra ko te kingi ki te Kuhi, Kei te pai ranei te taitama, a Apoharama? A ka mea te Kuhi, Kia rite ki taua taitama nga hoariri o toku ariki, o te kingi, me te hunga katoa e whakatika ana ki a koe hei mea i te kino mou.
33 Na oho pu te mauri o te kingi, a piki ana ki te ruma i runga i te kuwaha, tangi ana: ko tana korero tenei i a ia e haere ana, E taku tama, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama, e Apoharama! he pai mehemea ko ahau i mate, a kaua koe, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama.
2 Samuel 16-18
New International Version
2 Samuel 16-18
New International Version
David and Ziba
16 When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba,(A) the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.(B)
2 The king asked Ziba, “Why have you brought these?”
Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh(C) those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
3 The king then asked, “Where is your master’s grandson?”(D)
Ziba(E) said to him, “He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, ‘Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.’”
4 Then the king said to Ziba, “All that belonged to Mephibosheth(F) is now yours.”
“I humbly bow,” Ziba said. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
Shimei Curses David
5 As King David approached Bahurim,(G) a man from the same clan as Saul’s family came out from there. His name was Shimei(H) son of Gera, and he cursed(I) as he came out. 6 He pelted David and all the king’s officials with stones, though all the troops and the special guard were on David’s right and left. 7 As he cursed, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel! 8 The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned.(J) The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”(K)
9 Then Abishai(L) son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog(M) curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.”(N)
10 But the king said, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?(O) If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why do you do this?’”(P)
11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son,(Q) my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.(R) 12 It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery(S) and restore to me his covenant blessing(T) instead of his curse today.(U)”
13 So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt. 14 The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted.(V) And there he refreshed himself.
The Advice of Ahithophel and Hushai
15 Meanwhile, Absalom(W) and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel(X) was with him. 16 Then Hushai(Y) the Arkite, David’s confidant, went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “So this is the love you show your friend? If he’s your friend, why didn’t you go with him?”(Z)
18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him. 19 Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”(AA)
20 Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice. What should we do?”
21 Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.(AB)
23 Now in those days the advice(AC) Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God. That was how both David(AD) and Absalom regarded all of Ahithophel’s advice.
17 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “I would[a] choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David. 2 I would attack him while he is weary and weak.(AE) I would strike him with terror, and then all the people with him will flee. I would strike down only the king(AF) 3 and bring all the people back to you. The death of the man you seek will mean the return of all; all the people will be unharmed.” 4 This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon also Hushai(AG) the Arkite, so we can hear what he has to say as well.” 6 When Hushai came to him, Absalom said, “Ahithophel has given this advice. Should we do what he says? If not, give us your opinion.”
7 Hushai replied to Absalom, “The advice Ahithophel has given is not good this time. 8 You know your father and his men; they are fighters, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs.(AH) Besides, your father is an experienced fighter;(AI) he will not spend the night with the troops. 9 Even now, he is hidden in a cave or some other place.(AJ) If he should attack your troops first,[b] whoever hears about it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the troops who follow Absalom.’ 10 Then even the bravest soldier, whose heart is like the heart of a lion,(AK) will melt(AL) with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a fighter and that those with him are brave.(AM)
11 “So I advise you: Let all Israel, from Dan to Beersheba(AN)—as numerous as the sand(AO) on the seashore—be gathered to you, with you yourself leading them into battle. 12 Then we will attack him wherever he may be found, and we will fall on him as dew settles on the ground. Neither he nor any of his men will be left alive. 13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley(AP) until not so much as a pebble is left.”
14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice(AQ) of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel.”(AR) For the Lord had determined to frustrate(AS) the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster(AT) on Absalom.(AU)
15 Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel to do such and such, but I have advised them to do so and so. 16 Now send a message at once and tell David, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords in the wilderness;(AV) cross over without fail, or the king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.(AW)’”
17 Jonathan(AX) and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel.(AY) A female servant was to go and inform them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they could not risk being seen entering the city. 18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So the two of them left at once and went to the house of a man in Bahurim.(AZ) He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it. 19 His wife took a covering and spread it out over the opening of the well and scattered grain over it. No one knew anything about it.(BA)
20 When Absalom’s men came to the woman(BB) at the house, they asked, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”
The woman answered them, “They crossed over the brook.”[c] The men searched but found no one, so they returned to Jerusalem.
21 After they had gone, the two climbed out of the well and went to inform King David. They said to him, “Set out and cross the river at once; Ahithophel has advised such and such against you.” 22 So David and all the people with him set out and crossed the Jordan. By daybreak, no one was left who had not crossed the Jordan.
23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice(BC) had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his house in order(BD) and then hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.
Absalom’s Death
24 David went to Mahanaim,(BE) and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel. 25 Absalom had appointed Amasa(BF) over the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether,[d](BG) an Ishmaelite[e] who had married Abigail,[f] the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah the mother of Joab. 26 The Israelites and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
27 When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash(BH) from Rabbah(BI) of the Ammonites, and Makir(BJ) son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai(BK) the Gileadite(BL) from Rogelim 28 brought bedding and bowls and articles of pottery. They also brought wheat and barley, flour and roasted grain, beans and lentils,[g] 29 honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows’ milk for David and his people to eat.(BM) For they said, “The people have become exhausted and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.(BN)”
18 David mustered the men who were with him and appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. 2 David sent out his troops,(BO) a third under the command of Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai(BP) son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai(BQ) the Gittite. The king told the troops, “I myself will surely march out with you.”
3 But the men said, “You must not go out; if we are forced to flee, they won’t care about us. Even if half of us die, they won’t care; but you are worth ten(BR) thousand of us.[h] It would be better now for you to give us support from the city.”(BS)
4 The king answered, “I will do whatever seems best to you.”
So the king stood beside the gate while all his men marched out in units of hundreds and of thousands. 5 The king commanded Joab, Abishai and Ittai, “Be gentle with the young man Absalom for my sake.” And all the troops heard the king giving orders concerning Absalom to each of the commanders.
6 David’s army marched out of the city to fight Israel, and the battle took place in the forest(BT) of Ephraim. 7 There Israel’s troops were routed by David’s men, and the casualties that day were great—twenty thousand men. 8 The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest swallowed up more men that day than the sword.
9 Now Absalom happened to meet David’s men. He was riding his mule, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s hair(BU) got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in midair, while the mule he was riding kept on going.
10 When one of the men saw what had happened, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree.”
11 Joab said to the man who had told him this, “What! You saw him? Why didn’t you strike(BV) him to the ground right there? Then I would have had to give you ten shekels[i] of silver and a warrior’s belt.(BW)”
12 But the man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels[j] were weighed out into my hands, I would not lay a hand on the king’s son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.[k]’ 13 And if I had put my life in jeopardy[l]—and nothing is hidden from the king(BX)—you would have kept your distance from me.”
14 Joab(BY) said, “I’m not going to wait like this for you.” So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree. 15 And ten of Joab’s armor-bearers surrounded Absalom, struck him and killed him.(BZ)
16 Then Joab(CA) sounded the trumpet, and the troops stopped pursuing Israel, for Joab halted them. 17 They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up(CB) a large heap of rocks(CC) over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.
18 During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King’s Valley(CD) as a monument(CE) to himself, for he thought, “I have no son(CF) to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
David Mourns
19 Now Ahimaaz(CG) son of Zadok said, “Let me run and take the news to the king that the Lord has vindicated him by delivering him from the hand of his enemies.(CH)”
20 “You are not the one to take the news today,” Joab told him. “You may take the news another time, but you must not do so today, because the king’s son is dead.”
21 Then Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed down before Joab and ran off.
22 Ahimaaz son of Zadok again said to Joab, “Come what may, please let me run behind the Cushite.”
But Joab replied, “My son, why do you want to go? You don’t have any news that will bring you a reward.”
23 He said, “Come what may, I want to run.”
So Joab said, “Run!” Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain[m] and outran the Cushite.
24 While David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, the watchman(CI) went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall. As he looked out, he saw a man running alone. 25 The watchman called out to the king and reported it.
The king said, “If he is alone, he must have good news.” And the runner came closer and closer.
26 Then the watchman saw another runner, and he called down to the gatekeeper, “Look, another man running alone!”
The king said, “He must be bringing good news,(CJ) too.”
27 The watchman said, “It seems to me that the first one runs like(CK) Ahimaaz son of Zadok.”
“He’s a good man,” the king said. “He comes with good news.”
28 Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, “All is well!” He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, “Praise be to the Lord your God! He has delivered up those who lifted their hands against my lord the king.”
29 The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom safe?”
Ahimaaz answered, “I saw great confusion just as Joab was about to send the king’s servant and me, your servant, but I don’t know what it was.”
30 The king said, “Stand aside and wait here.” So he stepped aside and stood there.
31 Then the Cushite arrived and said, “My lord the king, hear the good news! The Lord has vindicated you today by delivering you from the hand of all who rose up against you.”
32 The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom safe?”
The Cushite replied, “May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up to harm you be like that young man.”(CL)
33 The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he said: “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died(CM) instead of you—O Absalom, my son, my son!”[n](CN)

Maori Bible
20 A, i te uinga a nga Parihi ki a ia, ko a hea puta mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore e kitea te putanga mai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
21 E kore ano ratou e mea, Na, tenei! na, tera! kei roto hoki i a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
22 A ka mea ia ki nga akonga, Tera e tae mai nga ra e hiahia ai koutou kia kite i tetahi o nga ra o te Tama a te tangata, a e kore koutou e kite.
23 A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.
24 Ka rite hoki ki te uira e hoko mai ana i tetahi wahi i raro o te rangi: a tiaho atu ana ki tetahi atu wahi i raro o te rangi; e pera ano te Tama a te tangata a tona ra.
25 Otiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.
26 Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa nga ra o te Tama a te tangata.
27 E kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e marena ana, e tukua ana ki te marena, taea noatia te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki te aaka, a, ko te putanga mai o te waipuke, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.
28 Ka rite ano hoki ki nga ra i a Rota; e kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana, e whakato ana, e hanga whare ana.
29 Heoi i te ra i puta mai ai a Rota i Horoma, ka uaina he kapura, he whanariki i te rangi, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.
30 Ka pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.
31 I taua ra, kei runga tetahi i te whare, me ona taonga hoki i roto i te whare, kaua ia e heke iho ki te tiki i aua mea: ko te tangata hoki i te mara, kaua ia e hoki atu ki nga mea o muri.
32 Kia mahara ki te wahine a Rota.
33 Ki te whai tetahi kia ora ia, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, ka ora ano ia.
34 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, I taua po tokorua i te moenga kotahi; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
35 Tokorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
36 Tokorua nga tangata i te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
37 Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko hea, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te wahi i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga ekara.

Luke 17:20-37
New International Version
The Coming of the Kingdom of God(A)
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(B) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(C) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[a]
22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(D) but you will not see it.(E) 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.(F) 24 For the Son of Man in his day[b] will be like the lightning,(G) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things(H) and be rejected(I) by this generation.(J)
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah,(K) so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot.(L) People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.(M) 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.(N) 32 Remember Lot’s wife!(O) 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.(P) 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”(Q) [36] [c]
37 “Where, Lord?” they asked.
He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”(R)
