1 Amogalu fa: no, A:mone soge hina bagade amo Na: iha: se da bogoi. Egefe Ha: inane da ea hina bagade sogebi lai.
Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
2 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Ha: inane ea ada Na: iha: se da nama asigi galu. Amaiba: le, na da ea mano ilima asigimu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da sia: adole ahoasu dunu, ea asigi sia: sia: ma: ne, Ha: inanema asunasi.
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
3 Ilia A: mone sogega doaga: loba, A:mone ouligisu dunu ilia da hina bagadema amane sia: i, “Di adi dawa: bela: ? Da: ibidi da dia adama nodone dawa: beba: le, amo dunu dima asigi sia: sia: mane asunasibala: ? Hame mabu! Amo da desega ahoasu dunu amo Da: ibidi da nini hasalima: ne, ninia soge hou amo abodele ba: musa: asunasi.”
the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
4 Amaiba: le, Ha: inane da Da: ibidi ea sia: adola ahoasu dunu amo gagulaligili, ilia mayabo la: idi waga: ne, ilia abula mugagili damunisili, ili buhagima: ne asunasi.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 Ilia da buhagimu bagadewane gogosia: i. Da: ibidi da amane hamoi nababeba: le, e da ilima amane sia: si, “Dilia Yeligou moilai bai bagadega ouesalu, dilia mayabo bu sa: i galea, buhagima!”
When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Hina bagade Ha: inane amola A: mone dunu ilia da Da: ibidi ilia ha lai hamoi dagoi dawa: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da silifa 40 danese agoane, sa: liode amola amoga fila heda: su dunu bidi lama: ne, Gado Mesoubouda: imia soge amola Silia soge amo Ma: iaga amola Souba, ilima iasili wele guda: i.
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
7 Ilia bidiga lai fidisu dunu, amo sa: liode 32,000 agoane amola Ma: iaga hina bagade ea dadi gagui wa: i, ilia da Mediba moilai gadenene misini, wa: i fi esalebe ba: i.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
8 Da: ibidi da amo hou nababeba: le, e da Youa: be amola Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i huluane ilima gegemusa: asunasi.
On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
9 A: mone dadi gagui dunu da gadili mogodigili, ilia da La: ba (ilia moilai bai bagade) amo ea logo holei gadenene dadalei. Amola hina bagade amo da ili fidimusa: misi, ilia dadi gagui dunu da sogebi genebogela asili, amogai dadalei.
The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
10 Youa: be da ba: loba, ea ha lai da midadi amola bagia ema doagala: mu ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu baligili noga: idafa amo ilegele, ilia da Silia dadi gagui dunu ilima ba: le gusuli aligima: ne asunasi.
When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
11 E da ea eya Abisia: i amo Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu eno ouligima: ne sia: i. Abisia: i da sia: beba: le, amo Isala: ili dadi gagui da A: mone dunu ilima ba: le gusuli dadalei.
And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
12 Youa: be da Abisia: ima amane sia: i, “Di da Silia dunu na hasalimusa: heda: be ba: sea, na fidila misa. Amola na da A: mone dunu di hasalimusa: heda: be ba: sea, na da di fidila masunu.
“If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
13 Di mae beda: ne gasa fima! Ninia fi dunu amola Gode Ea moilai huluane gaga: musa: , gasa fili hamoma. Amola Hina Gode Ea hamomusa: ilegei, amo ba: mu da defea!”
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
14 Youa: be amola ea dunu da doagala: musa: midadi manebeba: le, Silia dunu ilia da hobea: i.
So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
15 A: mone dunu da Silia dunu hobealebe ba: lu, ilia da Abisia: i amoma hobeale, moilai amo ganodini hehenane golili sa: i. Amalalu, Youa: be da A: mone dunuma gegenanu yolesili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega buhagi.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
16 Silia dunu da Isala: ili dunu ili hasali dagoi amo dawa: loba, ilia da ilia dadi gagui dunu huluanedafa gilisima: ne wele sia: i. Hina bagade Ha: da: disa da Silia dunu huluane amo Iufala: idisi Hano gusudili esalu, amo ema misa: ne sia: si. Ilia da Hila: me moilaiga misi. Sioubage (Souba hina bagade Ha: da: disa, amo ea dadi gagui wa: i ouligisudafa dunu galu) da ili ouligisu.
When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 Da: ibidi da amo sia: nababeba: le, e da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu gilisili, Yodane Hano degei. Amogawi, ea sia: beba: le, ilia da Silia dunu ilima ba: le gusuli dadalele, gegesu da mui.
When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
18 Isala: ili dunu da Silia dunuma gegesa fula se bobogei. Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da Silia sa: liode amoga fila heda: i dunu 700 agoane amola emoga ahoasu dadi gagui dunu 40,000 agoane fane lelegei. Ilia da Sioubage (ilia ha lai ouligisudafa) amo fa: ginisili, e da gegesu sogebi amogawi bogoi.
But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
19 Hina bagade Ha: da: disa da eno hina bagade fonobahadi ouligisu. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu da ilima hasali dagoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Isala: ili dunuma olofomusa: gousa: i. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da ili ouligilalu. Amola Silia dunu da beda: iba: le, bu A: mone dunu fidimu higa: i galu.
When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
