2 Samuel 16
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.

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.
