< 1 Kronická 19 >
1 Stalo se zatím, že umřel Náhas král Ammonitský, a kraloval syn jeho místo něho.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
2 I řekl David: Učiním milosrdenství s Chanunem synem Náhasovým, nebo učinil otec jeho milosrdenství nade mnou. Tedy poslal David posly, aby ho potěšili pro otce jeho. I přišli služebníci Davidovi do země synů Ammon k Chanunovi, aby ho těšili.
And David said, I will act kindly toward Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
3 Tedy řekla knížata Ammonitská Chanunovi: Cožť se zdá, že David činí poctivost otci tvému, že poslal k tobě, kteříž by tě potěšili? Zdali ne proto, aby shlédli a vyšpehovali, i podvrátili zemi tuto, přišli služebníci jeho k tobě?
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honor your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Pročež Chanun vzav služebníky Davidovy, oholil je a zustřihoval roucha jejich polovici až do rozkroků, a propustil je.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
5 Tedy odešli někteří, a oznámili Davidovi o těch mužích. I poslal proti nim, (nebo byli muži ti zlehčeni velice), a rozkázal jim král: Pobuďte v Jerichu, dokudž neobrostou brady vaše; potom se navrátíte.
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
6 Vidouce pak Ammonitští, že se zošklivili Davidovi, poslal Chanun a synové Ammon tisíc hřiven stříbra, aby sobě najali ze mzdy z Mezopotamie a z Syrie Maacha a z Soba vozů a jezdců.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
7 A najali sobě ze mzdy třidceti a dva tisíce vozů, a krále Maachu i lid jeho. Kteřížto přitáhše, položili se s vojskem naproti Medaba. Ammonitští také shromáždivše se z měst svých, přitáhli k té bitvě.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Což uslyšav David, poslal Joába se vším vojskem udatných.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 A tak vytáhše Ammonitští, sšikovali se k boji u brány města toho. Králové pak, kteříž byli přitáhli, byli zvláště na poli.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
10 A protož vida Joáb proti sobě sšikovaný lid z předu i z zadu, vybrav některé ze všech výborných Izraelských, sšikoval je také proti Syrským.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 Ostatek pak lidu dal pod správu Abizaie bratra svého, a sšikovali se proti Ammonitským.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 I řekl Joáb: Jestliže Syrští budou mne silnější, přispěješ mi na pomoc; pakli Ammonitští silnější budou tebe, já pomohu tobě.
And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 Posiliž se, a zmužile se mějme, bojujíce za lid náš a za města Boha našeho, Hospodin však, což mu se dobře líbí, nechť učiní.
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Takž přistoupil Joáb i lid, kterýž při něm byl, k bitvě proti Syrským. Ale oni utekli před ním.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
15 V tom Ammonitští vidouce, že utíkají Syrští, utekli také i oni před Abizaiem bratrem jeho, a ušli do města. Joáb též navrátil se do Jeruzaléma.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 A tak vidouce Syrští, že jsou poraženi od Izraelských, poslali posly, a vyvedli Syrské, kteříž bydlejí za řekou, a Sofach kníže vojska Hadarezerova vedl je.
And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
17 I oznámeno to Davidovi. Kterýžto shromáždiv všecken lid Izraelský, přepravil se přes Jordán, a přitáhl k nim, a sšikoval vojsko proti nim. A když sšikoval David vojsko proti Syrským k bitvě, bojovali s ním.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
18 Tedy utekli Syrští před Izraelem. I porazil David z Syrských sedm tisíc vozů, a čtyřidceti tisíc lidu pěšího, až i Sofacha hejtmana vojska toho zabil.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
19 Pročež když viděli služebníci Hadarezerovi, že jsou poraženi od Izraele, vešli v pokoj s Davidem, a sloužili jemu. A nechtěli více Syrští táhnouti na pomoc Ammonitským.
And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
