1 Amogalu fa: no, A:mone soge hina bagade amo Na: iha: se da bogoi. Egefe Ha: inane da ea hina bagade sogebi lai.
Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.
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 be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.
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.”
But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome 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, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, 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!”
Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
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.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and 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 with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.
8 Da: ibidi da amo hou nababeba: le, e da Youa: be amola Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i huluane ilima gegemusa: asunasi.
And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-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.
So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.
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.
Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
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 the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
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.
And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
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!”
Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
14 Youa: be amola ea dunu da doagala: musa: midadi manebeba: le, Silia dunu ilia da hobea: i.
So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight 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.
And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came 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.
And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
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.
And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.
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.
And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the 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.
And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.
