2 Sa:miuele 10
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, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
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 ema asigimu da defea.” Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da sia: adola ahoasu dunu, ili da ea asigi sia: sia: ma: ne, Ha: inanema asunasi.
David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
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: ma: ne asunasibala: ? Hame mabu! Amo da desega ahoasu dunu amo Da: ibidi da nini hasalima: ne, ninia soge hou amo hogomusa: asunasi.”
the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
4 Ha: inane da Da: ibidi ea sia: adola ahoasu dunu ili gagulaligili, ilia mayabo la: idi waga: ne, ilia abula mugagili damunisili, ili buhagima: ne asunasi.
Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they 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!”
The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
6 A: mone dunu da ilia da Da: ibidi ilia ha lai hamoi dagoi dawa: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Bedelihobe moilai amola Souba moilaiga Silia dadi gagui dunu 20,000 amola Dobe sogega dadi gagui dunu 12,000 agoane wele guda: i. Amola ilia da Ma: iga soge hina bagade amola ea dadi gagui 1,000 agoane wele guda: i.
Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
7 Da: ibidi da amo hou nababeba: le, e da Youa: be amola Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i huluane ilima gegema: ne asunasi.
When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
8 A: mone dadi gagui dunu da gadili mogodigili, ilia da La: ba (ilia moilai bai bagade) amo ea logo holei gadenene dadalei. Silia dadi gagui dunu amola Dobe amola Ma: iaga dunu ilia da sogebi genebagela asia, amogai dadalei.
The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
9 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.
Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
10 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.
He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
11 Youa: be da Abisia: i ema 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.
Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
12 Di mae beda: ne gasa fima! Ninia fi dunu amola Gode Ea moilai bai bagade huluane gaga: musa: , gasa fili hamoma. Amola Hina Gode Ea hamomusa: ilegei, amo ba: mu da defea!”
We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
13 Youa: be amola ea dunu da doagala: musa: gusuba: i manebeba: le, Silia dunu ilia da hobea: i.
So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
14 A: mone dunu da Silia dunu hobealebe ba: lu, ilia da Abisia: i ema 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 soldiers of] the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
15 Silia dunu da Isala: ili dunu da ili hasali dagoi amo dawa: loba, ilia da ilia dadi gagui dunu huluanedafa gilisima: ne wele sia: i.
After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
16 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 sogega misi. Sioubage (Souba hina bagade Ha: da: disa, amo ea dadi gagui wa: i ouligisudafa dunu galu) da ili ouligisu.
[Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
17 Da: ibidi da amo sia: nababeba: le, e da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu gilisili, Yodane Hano degele, Hila: me sogega mogodigili asi. Amogawi, Silia dunu da ilima ba: le gusuli dadalele, gegesu da mui.
When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle 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 hosi da: iya fila heda: i dunu 40,000 agoane fane lelegei. Ilia da Sioubage (ilia ha lai ouligisudafa) amo fa: ginisili, e da gegesu sogebi amogawi bogoi.
But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
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 hame fidisu.
When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
