I Chronicles 19

Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, i zakralji mu se sin na njegovo mjesto.

Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

David reče u sebi: "Iskazat ću ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu jer je i njegov otac iskazao milost meni." David uputi poslanike da mu izraze sućut zbog smrti njegova oca. Kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca k Hanunu da mu izraze sućut,

And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

rekoše knezovi Amonaca Hanunu: "Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nisu li zato došle njegove sluge k tebi da razvide, istraže i uhode zemlju?"

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge i obrija ih, podreza im haljine dopola, do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag!

Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su bili vrlo osramoćeni, i poruči im: "Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada pa se onda vratite."

Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

Kad su Amonovi sinovi vidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslao je Hanun s Amonovim sinovima tisuću srebrnih talenata da za plaću najme bojnih kola i konjanika iz Aram Naharajima, iz Aram Maake i iz Soba.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria–maachah, and out of Zobah.

Najmili su za plaću trideset i dvije tisuće bojnih kola, i kralja Maake s njegovim narodom te su oni došli i utaborili se pred Medebom. Amonovi su se sinovi skupili iz svojih gradova i došli u boj.

So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

Kad je to čuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom svojom junačkom vojskom.

And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

Amonovi sinovi iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima; a kraljevi koji su došli stajali su zasebno na polju.

And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi, sprijeda i straga, Joab probra najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.

And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

I reče mu: "Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako li Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.

And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima."

Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.

So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred njegova brata Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada se Joab vrati u Jeruzalem.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

A Aramejci, vidjevši gdje su ih potukli Izraelci, uputili su poslanike i doveli Aramejce što su s onu stranu Rijeke, na čelu sa Šofakom, vojvodom Hadadezerove vojske.

And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, primače se Aramejcima i svrsta se prema njima; kad se David svrstao prema Aramejcima u bojni red, oni zametnuše s njime boj.

And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam tisuća konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubio je i vojvodu Šofaka.

But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

Kad Hadadezerove sluge vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Davidom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.

And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
