2 Samuelova 10
1 Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, a zakralji se njegov sin Hanun mjesto njega.
After this, the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and Hanun his sonne reigned in his steade.
2 A David reče u sebi: “Želio bih iskazati ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu, kao što je njegov otac iskazao meni.” Zato David posla svoje sluge da mu izraze sućut zbog njegova oca. Ali kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca,
Then sayde Dauid, I will shewe kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, as his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent his seruantes to comfort him for his father. So Dauids seruants came into the lande of the children of Ammon.
3 rekoše knezovi Amonaca svome gospodaru Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nije li možda zato David poslao svoje ljude k tebi da razvide grad da bi doznao njegovu obranu i potom ga oborio?”
And the princes of the children of Ammon sayde vnto Hanun their lorde, Thinkest thou that Dauid doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? hath not Dauid rather sent his seruants vnto thee, to search the citie, and to spie it out, and to ouerthrow it?
4 Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge, obrija im pola brade i skrati im haljine dopola, sve do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag.
Wherefore Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued off the halfe of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, euen to their buttockes, and sent them away.
5 Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su ti ljudi bili teško osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada, pa se onda vratite!”
When it was told vnto Dauid, he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King sayde, Tary at Iericho, vntill your beards be growen, then returne.
6 Tada Amonci uvidješe da su se omrazili s Davidom; zato Amonci poslaše glasnike da za plaću unajme Aramejce iz Bet Rehoba i Aramejce iz Sobe, dvadeset tisuća pješaka, zatim kralja Maake, tisuću ljudi, i ljude iz Toba, dvanaest tisuća vojnika.
And when the children of Ammon sawe that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Aramites of the house of Rehob, and the Aramites of Zoba, twentie thousande footemen, and of King Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelue thousande men.
7 Kad je David to čuo, posla Joaba s vojskom i izabranim junacima.
And when Dauid heard of it, he sent Ioab, and all the hoste of the strong men.
8 Amonci iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima, dok su Aramejci iz Sobe i iz Rehoba i ljudi iz Toba i iz Maake stajali zasebno na polju.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put their armie in araye at the entring in of the gate: and the Aramites of Zoba, and of Rehob, and of Ish-tob, and of Maacah were by themselues in the fielde.
9 Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi sprijeda i straga, probra Joab najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, he chose of all the choyse of Israel, and put them in aray against the Aramites.
10 Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
And the rest of the people hee deliuered into the hande of Abishai his brother, that hee might put them in aray against the children of Ammon.
11 I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
And he sayde, If the Aramites be stronger then I, thou shalt helpe me, and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will come and succour thee.
12 Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
Be strong and let vs be valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord do that which is good in his eyes.
13 Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
Then Ioab, and the people that was with him, ioyned in battel with the Aramites, who fled before him.
14 Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada Joab odustane od rata protiv Amonaca i vrati se u Jeruzalem.
And when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai, and entred into the citie. so Ioab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Ierusalem.
15 Kad su Aramejci vidjeli gdje su ih Izraelci razbili, sabraše ponovo svoje čete.
And when the Aramites sawe that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered them together.
16 Hadadezer posla glasnike i sabra Aramejce što su s one strane rijeke. Ovi dođoše u Helam pod vodstvom Šobaka, vojvode Hadadezerove vojske.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Aramites that were beyond the Riuer: and they came to Helam, and Shobach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went before them.
17 Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, dođe u Helam. Aramejci se svrstaše protiv Davida i zametnuše s njime boj.
When it was shewed Dauid, then he gathered all Israel together, and passed ouer Iorden and came to Helam: and the Aramites set themselues in aray against Dauid, and fought with him:
18 Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam stotina konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubi i njihova vojvodu Šobaka te je ondje umro.
And the Aramites fled before Israel: and Dauid destroyed seuen hundreth charets of the Aramites, and fourtie thousande horsemen, and smote Shobach the captaine of his hoste, who dyed there.
19 A kad svi kraljevi, Hadadezerovi vazali, vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Izraelom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
And when all the Kings, that were seruants to Hadarezer, saw that they fell before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and serued them. and the Aramites feared to helpe the children of Ammon any more.
