II Samuel 10

Μετα δε ταυτα απεθανεν ο βασιλευς των υιων Αμμων, και εβασιλευσεν αντ αυτου Ανουν ο υιος αυτου.

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

Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Θελω καμει ελεος προς Ανουν, τον υιον του Ναας, επειδη ο πατηρ αυτου εκαμεν ελεος προς εμε. Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ να παρηγορηση αυτον περι του πατρος αυτου δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου. Και ηλθον οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ εις την γην των υιων Αμμων.

Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

Και ειπον οι αρχοντες των υιων Αμμων προς Ανουν τον κυριον αυτων, Νομιζεις οτι ο Δαβιδ τιμων τον πατερα σου απεστειλε προς σε παρηγορητας; δεν απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ τους δουλους αυτου προς σε, δια να ερευνηση την πολιν και να κατασκοπευση αυτην και να καταστρεψη αυτην;

And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

Και επιασεν ο Ανουν τους δουλους του Δαβιδ, και εξυρισε το ημισυ του πωγωνος αυτων και απεκοψε το ημισυ των ιματιων αυτων μεχρι των γλουτων αυτων, και απεπεμψεν αυτους.

Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

Οτε απηγγειλαν τουτο προς τον Δαβιδ, απεστειλεν εις συναντησιν αυτων, επειδη οι ανδρες ησαν ητιμασμενοι σφοδρα και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Καθησατε εν Ιεριχω εωσου αυξηνθωσιν οι πωγωνες σας, και επιστρεψατε.

When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

Βλεποντες δε οι υιοι Αμμων οτι ησαν βδελυκτοι εις τον Δαβιδ, απεστειλαν οι υιοι Αμμων και εμισθωσαν εκ των Συριων Βαιθ−ρεωβ και των Συριων Σωβα εικοσι χιλιαδας πεζων, και παρα του βασιλεως Μααχα χιλιους ανδρας, και παρα του Ις−τωβ δωδεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth–rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish–tob twelve thousand men.

Και οτε ηκουσε ταυτα ο Δαβιδ, απεστειλε τον Ιωαβ και απαν το στρατευμα των δυνατων.

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

Και εξηλθον οι υιοι Αμμων και παρεταχθησαν εις πολεμον κατα την εισοδον της πυλης και οι Συριοι Σωβα και Ρεωβ και Ις−τωβ και Μααχα ησαν καθ εαυτους εν τη πεδιαδι.

And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish–tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

Βλεπων δε ο Ιωαβ οτι η μαχη παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτου εμπροσθεν και οπισθεν, εξελεξεν εκ παντων των εκλεκτων του Ισραηλ και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των Συριων

When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:

το δε υπολοιπον του λαου εδωκεν εις την χειρα του Αβισαι, αδελφου αυτου, και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των υιων Αμμων.

And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.

Και ειπεν, Εαν οι Συριοι υπερισχυσωσι κατ εμου, τοτε συ θελεις με σωσει εαν δε οι υιοι Αμμων υπερισχυσωσι κατα σου, τοτε εγω θελω ελθει δια να σε σωσω

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 come and help thee.

ανδριζου, και ας κραταιωθωμεν υπερ του λαου ημων και υπερ των πολεων του Θεου ημων ο δε Κυριος ας καμη το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.

Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

Και προσηλθεν ο Ιωαβ και ο λαος ο μετ αυτου εις μαχην εναντιον των Συριων οι δε εφυγον απ εμπροσθεν αυτου.

And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

Και οτε ειδον οι υιοι Αμμων οτι οι Συριοι εφυγον, τοτε εφυγον και αυτοι απ εμπροσθεν του Αβισαι και εισηλθον εις την πολιν. Και ο Ιωαβ επεστρεψεν απο των υιων Αμμων και ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

Ιδοντες δε οι Συριοι οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, συνηθροισθησαν ομου.

And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

Και απεστειλεν ο Αδαρεζερ και εξηγαγε τους Συριους τους περαν του ποταμου και ηλθον εις Αιλαμ και Σωβακ, ο αρχιστρατηγος του Αδαρεζερ, προεπορευετο εμπροσθεν αυτων.

And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

Και οτε απηγγελθη προς τον Δαβιδ, συνηθροισε παντα τον Ισραηλ και διεβη τον Ιορδανην και ηλθεν εις Αιλαμ. Οι δε Συριοι παρεταχθησαν εναντιον του Δαβιδ και επολεμησαν με αυτον.

And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

Και εφυγον οι Συριοι απ εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ και εξωλοθρευσεν ο Δαβιδ εκ των Συριων επτακοσιας αμαξας και τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδας ιππεων, και Σωβακ τον αρχιστρατηγον αυτων επαταξε, και απεθανεν εκει.

And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

Και ιδοντες παντες οι βασιλεις, οι δουλοι του Αδαρεζερ, οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, εκαμον ειρηνην μετα του Ισραηλ και εγειναν δουλοι αυτων. Και οι Συριοι εφοβουντο να βοηθησωσι πλεον τους υιους Αμμων.

And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
