Na, muri iho ka patua nga Pirihitini e Rawiri, a hinga ana ratou i a ia: a tangohia ana e Rawiri a Metekeama i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.

I patua ano e ia a Moapa, a ruritia ana ratou ki te aho; a meinga ana ratou kia takoto ki te whenua: na e rua nga aho i ruritia e ia mo te whakamate, kotahi tino aho mo te whakaora. Na ka riro nga Moapi hei pononga ma Rawiri, hei kaihomai hakari.

I patua ano e Rawiri a Hareretere tama a Rehopo kingi o Topa, i tona haerenga ki te whakahoki mai i tona rohe i te awa, i Uparati.

Na kotahi mano ana hariata i riro mai i a Rawiri, e whitu rau hoki nga hoia eke hoiho, e rua tekau mano nga tangata haere i raro. Na whakangongea ana e Rawiri nga hoiho o nga hariata katoa; i whakatoea ia etahi mo nga hariata kotahi rau.

A, no te haerenga mai o nga Hiriani o Ramahiku ki te whakauru ki a Hararetere kingi o Topa, patua iho e Rawiri o nga Hiriani e rua tekau ma rua mano tangata.

I whakanohoia ano e Rawiri etahi hoia pupuri ki Hiria o Ramahiku: a ka waiho nga Hiriani hei pononga homai hakari ma Rawiri. Na whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.

I tangohia ano e Rawiri nga pukupuku koura a nga tangata a Hararetere, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama.

A nui atu te parahi i tangohia e Kingi Rawiri i Petaha, i Perotai, i nga pa o Hararetere.

A, i te rongonga o Toi kingi o Hamata kua patua e Rawiri te ope katoa a Hararetere,

10 Katahi ka tono a Toi i a Iorama, i tana tama ki a Kingi Rawiri ki te oha ki a ia, ki te manaaki hoki i a ia; mona i whawhai ki a Hararetere, i patu hoki i a ia: he hoariri hoki a Hararetere no Toi: i te ringa ano o Iorama etahi mea hiriwa, mea k oura, mea parahi.

11 Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura i whakatapua e ia, a nga iwi katoa i hinga nei i a ia;

12 A Hiria, a Moapa, a nga tamariki a Amona, a nga Pirihitini, a Amareke, me nga taonga o Hararetere tama a Rehopo, kingi o Topa.

13 Na ka whai ingoa a Rawiri i tona hokinga mai i te patu i nga Hiriani i te Raorao Tote, ara kotahi tekau ma waru mano tangata.

14 A i whakanohoia e ia etahi hoia pupuri ki Eroma; he mea whakanoho puta noa i Eroma katoa ana hoia pupuri, a ka meinga nga Eromi katoa hei pononga ma Rawiri. A whakaorangia ana a Rawiri e Ihowa i ona haerenga katoa.

15 Na ko Rawiri te kingi o Iharaira katoa; a i whakarite ano a Rawiri i te whakawa, i te tika, mo tona iwi katoa.

16 Ko Ioapa tama a Teruia hoki te rangatira ope, ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara.

17 Ko Haroko tama a Ahitupu, raua ko Ahimereke tama a Apiatara, nga tohunga; ko Heraia hoki te kaituhituhi;

18 Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira mo nga Kereti, mo nga Pereti; ko nga tama ia a Rawiri nga tino rangatira.

Na ka mea a Rawiri, Kahore ranei he morehu inaianei o te whare o Haora, kia puta ai toku aroha ki a ia, he mea hoki naku ki a Honatana?

Na he pononga tera no te whare o Haora, ko tona ingoa ko Tipa: na ka karangatia ia ki a Rawiri, a ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Ko Tipa koe? Ka mea tera, Tenei tau pononga.

Na ka mea te kingi, Kahore ianei tetahi o te whare o Haora, kia whakaputaina ai e ahau to te Atua aroha ki a ia? Na ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Tenei ano tetahi tama a Honatana, he kopa nga waewae.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kei hea? Ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Na, kei te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, kei Rotepara.

Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka unga tangata ki te tiki i a ia i te whare o Makiri, tama a Amiere, i Rotepara.

A ka tae mai a Mepipohete tama a Honatana tama a Haora ki a Rawiri, ka tapapa, ka piko. Na ka mea a Rawiri, E Mepipohete. Ano ra ko tera, Tenei tau pononga.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, Kaua e wehi; ka puta hoki toku aroha ki a koe, he whakaaro hoki ki a Honatana ki tou papa, me whakahoki ano e ahau ki a koe te mara katoa a Haora, a tou papa; me kai taro tonu ano koe ki taku tepu.

Na ka piko iho ia, ka mea, He aha tau pononga, i titiro mai ai koe ki tenei kuri mate, i ahau nei?

Katahi ka karanga te kingi ki a Tipa, ki te tangata a Haora, ka mea ki a ia, Ko nga mea katoa a Haora i mua, a tona whare katoa hoki, kua hoatu e ahau ki te tama a tou ariki.

10 Ko koe hoki hei kaimahi mana i te oneone, koutou ko au tama, ko au pononga, ka kohi ai i nga hua; a ka whai taro te tama a tou ariki hei kai mana: ko Mepipohete ia ko te tama a tou ariki, me kai taro tonu ia ki taku tepu. Na, kotahi tekau ma rim a nga tama a Tipa, e rua tekau nga pononga.

11 Katahi ka mea a Tipa ki te kingi, Ka rite ta tau pononga e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e toku ariki, e te kingi, ki tana pononga. Ko Mepipohete ia e ai ta te kingi me kai ki taku tepu; ka rite ki tetahi o nga tama a te kingi.

12 Na he tama ta Mepipohete he mea nohinohi, ko tona ingoa ko Mika: he pononga ano na Mepipohete te hunga katoa e noho ana i te whare o Tipa.

13 Heoi noho ana a Mepipohete ki Hiruharama: i kai tonu hoki ia ki te tepu a te kingi; he kopa ano ona waewae e rua.

David’s Victories(A)

In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines(B) and subdued(C) them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.

David also defeated the Moabites.(D) He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.(E)

Moreover, David defeated Hadadezer(F) son of Rehob, king of Zobah,(G) when he went to restore his monument at[a] the Euphrates(H) River. David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers[b] and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung(I) all but a hundred of the chariot horses.

When the Arameans of Damascus(J) came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. He put garrisons(K) in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject(L) to him and brought tribute. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.(M)

David took the gold shields(N) that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. From Tebah[c] and Berothai,(O) towns that belonged to Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of bronze.

When Tou[d] king of Hamath(P) heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,(Q) 10 he sent his son Joram[e] to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

11 King David dedicated(R) these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued: 12 Edom[f](S) and Moab,(T) the Ammonites(U) and the Philistines,(V) and Amalek.(W) He also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 And David became famous(X) after he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites[g] in the Valley of Salt.(Y)

14 He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites(Z) became subject to David.(AA) The Lord gave David victory(AB) wherever he went.(AC)

David’s Officials(AD)

15 David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right(AE) for all his people. 16 Joab(AF) son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat(AG) son of Ahilud was recorder;(AH) 17 Zadok(AI) son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar(AJ) were priests; Seraiah was secretary;(AK) 18 Benaiah(AL) son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites(AM) and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests.[h]

David and Mephibosheth

David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”(AN)

Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba.(AO) They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”

“At your service,” he replied.

The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”

Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan;(AP) he is lame(AQ) in both feet.”

“Where is he?” the king asked.

Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir(AR) son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”

So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.

When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.(AS)

David said, “Mephibosheth!”

“At your service,” he replied.

“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.(AT) I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.(AU)

Mephibosheth(AV) bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog(AW) like me?”

Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson(AX) may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)

11 Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s[i] table like one of the king’s sons.(AY)

12 Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.(AZ) 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet.

11 Whakatapua ake era e Kingi Rawiri ma Ihowa hei tapiri mo te hiriwa, mo te koura, i maua mai e ia i nga iwi katoa; i nga Eromi, i nga Moapi, i nga tama a Amona, i nga Pirihitini, i nga Amareki.
