2 Samuel 19
Maori Bible
19 Na ka korerotia ki a Ioapa, Nana, kei te tangi te kingi, kei te uhunga mo Apoharama.
2 Na puta ke ana te whakaoranga i taua ra hei tangi ma te iwi katoa; i rongo hoki te iwi i taua ra i te korero, e koingo ana te kingi ki tana tama.
3 Na haere puku ana te iwi i taua ra ki te pa, ano he hunga e haere puku ana i te whakama, ina rere i te whawhai.
4 Ko te kingi ia, taupoki tonu tona mata, nui atu te reo o te kingi ki te tangi, E Apoharama, e taku tama, e Apoharama, e taku tama, e taku tama.
5 Na ka haere a Ioapa ki te kingi ki roto ki te whare, a ka mea, Kua whakama i a koe inaianei nga mata o au tangata katoa i ora ai koe i tenei ra, i ora ai hoki au tama, me au tamahine, i ora ai au wahine, i ora ai ano au wahine iti,
6 I a koe ka aroha nei ki ou hoariri, ka kino nei ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe. Kua whakaatu mai na hoki koe i tenei ra, he kore noa iho ki a koe nga rangatira me nga tangata: e mohio ana hoki ahau i tenei ra, kia ora kau ko Apoharama, a kia ma te ko matou katoa i tenei ra, ka pai rawa ki a koe.
7 Na whakatika, puta atu ki waho, kia puaki tetahi kupu pai ki au tangata: ta te mea he oati tenei naku i a Ihowa, ki te kahore koe e puta ake, e kore tetahi tangata e noho ki a koe i tenei po: a nui atu tenei kino ki a koe i nga kino katoa i pa ki a koe o tou taitamarikitanga ake a mohoa noa nei.
8 Na ka whakatika te kingi, a noho ana i te kuwaha. Na ka korerotia te korero ki te iwi katoa, Nana, ko te kingi, kei te kuwaha e noho ana. Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te aroaro o te kingi. Kua whati hoki tera a Iharaira ki tona teneti, ki tona te neti.
9 Na ka puta ake he tautohetohe i nga tangata katoa o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira. I ki ratou, Na te kingi tatou i whakaora i roto i te ringa o o tatou hoariri, nana hoki tatou i mawhiti ai i te ringa o nga Pirihitini; heoi kua whati atu nei ia i te w henua i te wehi ki a Apoharama.
10 A, ko Apoharama i whakawahia nei e tatou hei kingi mo tatou, kua mate i te whawhai. Na, he aha koutou te whai kupu ai kia whakahokia mai te kingi?
11 Na ka tono tangata a Kingi Rawiri ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, ki nga tohunga, hei ki atu, Korero atu ki nga kaumatua o Hura, mea atu, He aha koutou i tauhiku ai ki te whakahoki i te kingi ki tona whare? kua tae atu na hoki te korero a Iharaira katoa ki te kingi, ki te whakahoki i a ia ki tona whare.
12 Ko oku teina nei koutou, ko oku whenua, ko oku kikokiko, he aha koutou i tauhikuhiku ai ki te whakahoki i te kingi?
13 Ma korua ano e ki atu ki a Amaha, Ehara ianei koe i te whenua noku, i te kikokiko noku? ma te Atua e mea tenei mea ki ahau me tetahi atu mea, ki te kahore koe e meinga hei rangatira ope ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa hei whakakapi mo Ioapa.
14 A meinga ana e ia kia piko te ngakau o nga tangata katoa o Hura ano he tangata kotahi; a ka tono tangata ratou ki te kingi hei mea, Hoki mai, me au tangata katoa.
15 Na hoki ana te kingi, a ka tae ki Horano. I haere ano a Hura ki Kirikara, he haere ki te whakatau i te kingi, hei whakawhiti i te kingi i Horano.
16 Na hohoro tonu a Himei Pineamini tama a Kera, tera i Pahurimi ra, a haere tahi ana me nga tangata o Hura ki raro, ki te whakatau i a kingi Rawiri.
17 Na kotahi mano nga tangata o Pineamine i a ia, me Tipa ano, me te tangata o te whare o Haora, ratou ko ana tama tekau ma rima, me ana pononga e rua tekau; a whiti ana ratou i Horano i te aroaro o te kingi.
18 I whiti ano he perepoti hei whakawhiti mo te whare o te kingi, hei mea hoki i nga mea e pai ana ki tona whakaaro. Na ka tapapa a Himei tama a Kera ki te aroaro o te kingi, i a ia ka whiti nei i Horano.
19 A ka mea ki te kingi, Kaua toku ariki e whakairi hara ki ahau, kaua ano e maharatia te tutu o tau pononga i te ra i puta mai ai toku ariki, te kingi i Hiruharama; kaua te ngakau o te kingi e mea ki tena.
20 E mohio ana hoki tau pononga i hara ahau. Koia ahau i haere mai ai inaianei, ko te tuatahi o te whare katoa o Hohepa; i haere mai hoki ki raro, ki te whakatau i toku ariki, i te kingi.
21 Otiia ka oho a Apihai tama a Teruia, ka mea, E kore ianei a Himei e whakamatea mo tenei, mona i kanga i ta Ihowa i whakawahi ai?
22 Ano ra ko Rawiri, Hei aha maku ta korua, e nga tama a Teruia, i mea ai korua ki te totohe ki ahau i tenei ra? kia mate koia he tangata i roto i a Iharaira i tenei ra? kahore ianei ahau e mohio ko ahau te kingi o Iharaira i tenei ra?
23 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Himei, E kore koe e mate. Na oati ana te kingi ki a ia.
24 Na ka haere a Mepipohete tama a Haora ki raro, ki te whakatau i te kingi. Kihai ona waewae i whakapaia, kihai tona pahau i whakapaia, kihai ano ona kakahu i horoia, no te ra i haere ai te kingi a taea noatia te ra i hoki marie mai ai ia.
25 A, i tona taenga ki Hiruharama ki te whakatau i te kingi, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha koe te haere ai tatou, e Mepipohete?
26 Ano ra ko ia, Na taku pononga ahau i tinihanga, e toku ariki, e te kingi; i mea hoki tau pononga, Me whakanoho e ahau tetahi kaihe moku, hei ekenga atu moku, ka haere ai i te kingi; he kopa hoki tau pononga.
27 Na kua whakapae teka ia mo tau pononga ki toku ariki, ki te kingi; otiia rite tonu toku ariki, te kingi ki te anahera a te Atua: na mau e mea te mea e pai ana ki tau titiro.
28 Ko te whare katoa hoki o toku papa me te mea he tupapaku i te aroaro o toku ariki, o te kingi: heoi kua whakanohoia e koe tau pononga ki te hunga i kai ki tau tepu. Na, he aha ake ra taku e tika ai kia karanga atu ai ano ahau ki te kingi?
29 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Hei aha ake au korero i korerotia tonutia ai? Ko taku kupu tenei, Me wehe e korua ko Tipa te mara.
30 Na ka mea a Mepipohete ki te kingi, Engari me tango katoa e ia, he mea hoki kua tae marie mai toku ariki, te kingi ki tona whare.
31 I haere mai ano a Paratirai Kireari i Rokerimi; a whiti ana raua ko te kingi i Horano, he kawe i a ia ki tera taha o Horano.
32 Na he koroheke rawa a Paratirai, e waru tekau ona tau: nana i atawhai te kingi i tona nohoanga ki Mahanaima; he tangata nui rawa hoki ia.
33 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Paratirai, Me whiti koe, taua, a maku koe e atawhai ki toku taha ki Hiruharama.
34 Na ka mea a Paratirai ki te kingi, E hia nga ra o nga tau hei oranga moku, e haere tahi ai ahau me te kingi ki runga, ki Hiruharama?
35 Ka waru tekau oku tau i tenei ra: e mohio ranei ahau he pai tenei, he kino tera? e mohiotia ranei e tau pononga te reka o taku e kai ai, o taku ranei e inu ai? e rongo ano ranei ahau i te reo o nga tane waiata, o nga wahine waiata ranei? a kia m einga ano tau pononga hei whakararuraru mo toku ariki, mo te kingi hei aha?
36 Ka haere tahi atu ra tau pononga me te kingi ki tawahi iti atu o Horano: a he aha kia whakaarohia tera ki ahau e te kingi ki tenei utu nui?
37 Na, tukua tau pononga kia hoki, kia mate ai ahau ki toku nei pa, ki te taha o te urupa o toku papa, o toku whaea. Engari ia tau pononga, a Kimihama: ko ia e whiti tahi me toku ariki, me te kingi; meatia ki a ia te mea e pai ana ki tau titiro.
38 Na ka mea te kingi, Me whiti tahi maua ko Kimihama, a maku e mea ki a ia nga mea e pai ana ki tau titiro: a, he aha tau e tono ai ki ahau, ka mahia e ahau mau.
39 Na whiti ana te iwi katoa i Horano. I whiti ano te kingi, a kihia ana e te kingi a Paratirai, manaakitia ana; a hoki ana tera ki tona wahi.
40 Heoi whiti ana te kingi ki Kirikara, a i haere tahi ano a Kimihama i a ia: a na te iwi katoa o Hura, na te hawhe o te iwi o Iharaira te kingi i kawe.
41 Na haere ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ka mea ki te kingi, He aha o matou teina, nga tangata o Hura i tahae ai i a koe, i whakawhiti mai ai i te kingi, i tona whare katoa, i nga tangata katoa ano a Rawiri, i Horano?
42 Na ka whakahokia e nga tangata katoa o Hura ki nga tangata o Iharaira, No te mea he whanaunga tata te kingi ki a matou: he aha ra koutou i riri ai mo tenei mea. I kai ranei matou i tetahi mea a te kingi? i homai ranei e ia tetahi mea ki a matou?
43 Na ka whakahoki nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tangata o Hura, ka mea ratou, Kotahi tekau nga wahi o te kingi kei a matou, a nui atu hoki i to koutou to matou take ki a Rawiri: a he aha matou i whakahaweatia ai e koutou, te waiho ai ma matou te k upu tuatahi mo te whakahoki mai i to matou kingi? Heoi i pakari rawa ake nga kupu a nga tangata o Hura i nga kupu a nga tangata o Iharaira.
2 Samuel 19
New International Version
2 Samuel 19
New International Version
19 [a]Joab was told, “The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.” 2 And for the whole army the victory that day was turned into mourning, because on that day the troops heard it said, “The king is grieving for his son.” 3 The men stole into the city that day as men steal in who are ashamed when they flee from battle. 4 The king covered his face and cried aloud, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 Then Joab went into the house to the king and said, “Today you have humiliated all your men, who have just saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and the lives of your wives and concubines. 6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have made it clear today that the commanders and their men mean nothing to you. I see that you would be pleased if Absalom were alive today and all of us were dead. 7 Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the Lord that if you don’t go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come on you from your youth till now.”(A)
8 So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When the men were told, “The king is sitting in the gateway,(B)” they all came before him.
Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.
David Returns to Jerusalem
9 Throughout the tribes of Israel, all the people were arguing among themselves, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies; he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines.(C) But now he has fled the country to escape from Absalom;(D) 10 and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
11 King David sent this message to Zadok(E) and Abiathar, the priests: “Ask the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel has reached the king at his quarters? 12 You are my relatives, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to bring back the king?’ 13 And say to Amasa,(F) ‘Are you not my own flesh and blood?(G) May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(H) if you are not the commander of my army for life in place of Joab.(I)’”
14 He won over the hearts of the men of Judah so that they were all of one mind. They sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your men.” 15 Then the king returned and went as far as the Jordan.
Now the men of Judah had come to Gilgal(J) to go out and meet the king and bring him across the Jordan. 16 Shimei(K) son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David. 17 With him were a thousand Benjamites, along with Ziba,(L) the steward of Saul’s household,(M) and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed to the Jordan, where the king was. 18 They crossed at the ford to take the king’s household over and to do whatever he wished.
When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell prostrate before the king 19 and said to him, “May my lord not hold me guilty. Do not remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem.(N) May the king put it out of his mind. 20 For I your servant know that I have sinned, but today I have come here as the first from the tribes of Joseph to come down and meet my lord the king.”
21 Then Abishai(O) son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed(P) the Lord’s anointed.”(Q)
22 David replied, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?(R) What right do you have to interfere? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today?(S) Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?” 23 So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king promised him on oath.(T)
24 Mephibosheth,(U) Saul’s grandson, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely. 25 When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn’t you go with me,(V) Mephibosheth?”
26 He said, “My lord the king, since I your servant am lame,(W) I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled and will ride on it, so I can go with the king.’ But Ziba(X) my servant betrayed me. 27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel(Y) of God; so do whatever you wish. 28 All my grandfather’s descendants deserved nothing but death(Z) from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table.(AA) So what right do I have to make any more appeals to the king?”
29 The king said to him, “Why say more? I order you and Ziba to divide the land.”
30 Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him take everything, now that my lord the king has returned home safely.”
31 Barzillai(AB) the Gileadite also came down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and to send him on his way from there. 32 Now Barzillai was very old, eighty years of age. He had provided for the king during his stay in Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy(AC) man. 33 The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me and stay with me in Jerusalem, and I will provide for you.”
34 But Barzillai answered the king, “How many more years will I live, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king? 35 I am now eighty(AD) years old. Can I tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks? Can I still hear the voices of male and female singers?(AE) Why should your servant be an added(AF) burden to my lord the king? 36 Your servant will cross over the Jordan with the king for a short distance, but why should the king reward me in this way? 37 Let your servant return, that I may die in my own town near the tomb of my father(AG) and mother. But here is your servant Kimham.(AH) Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever you wish.”
38 The king said, “Kimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever you wish. And anything you desire from me I will do for you.”
39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and bid him farewell,(AI) and Barzillai returned to his home.
40 When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel had taken the king over.
41 Soon all the men of Israel were coming to the king and saying to him, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, steal the king away and bring him and his household across the Jordan, together with all his men?”(AJ)
42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is closely related to us. Why are you angry about it? Have we eaten any of the king’s provisions? Have we taken anything for ourselves?”
43 Then the men of Israel(AK) answered the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king; so we have a greater claim on David than you have. Why then do you treat us with contempt? Weren’t we the first to speak of bringing back our king?”
But the men of Judah pressed their claims even more forcefully than the men of Israel.

2 Samuel 19
King James Version
2 Samuel 19
King James Version
19 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
3 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
13 And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
28 For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
34 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
35 I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?
42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
