2 Samuelova 10
1 Stalo se také potom, že umřel král Ammonitský, a kraloval Chanun syn jeho po něm.
It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
2 I řekl David: Učiním milosrdenství s Chanunem synem Náhasovým, jakož otec jeho učinil milosrdenství nade mnou. Tedy poslal David, aby ho potěšil skrze služebníky své pro otce jeho. I přišli služebníci Davidovi do země Ammonitských.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people of Ammon.
3 I řekla knížata Ammonitská k Chanunovi, pánu svému: Cožť se zdá, že David činí poctivost otci tvému, že poslal k tobě, kteříž by tě potěšili? Zdaliž ne proto, aby shlédl město a vyšpehoval je, a potom je podvrátil, poslal David služebníky své k tobě?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order to overthrow it?”
4 A tak Chanun vzav služebníky Davidovy, oholil každému půl brady, a zustřihoval roucha jejich až do polovice, totiž až do zadků jejich, a propustil je.
So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 To když oznámili Davidovi, poslal proti nim, (nebo muži ti zohaveni byli velice, ) a řekl jim král: Pobuďte v Jerichu, dokudž neobrostou brady vaše, potom se navrátíte.
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Vidouce pak Ammonitští, že se zošklivili Davidovi, poslavše, najali ze mzdy z Syrie z domu Rohob, a z Syrie Soba dvadcet tisíců pěších, a od krále Maacha tisíc mužů, a od Istoba dvanácte tisíc mužů.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.
7 Což uslyšev David, poslal Joába se vším vojskem udatných.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
8 A tak vytáhše Ammonitští, šikovali se k boji u brány, Syrští také, Soba a Rohob, a Istob i Maacha zvláště byli na poli.
The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
9 A protož vida Joáb proti sobě sšikovaný boj s předu i s zadu, vybrav některé ze všech výborných Izraelských, sšikoval je také proti Syrským.
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
10 Ostatek pak lidu dal pod správu Abizai bratra svého, a sšikoval jej proti Ammonitským.
The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army of Ammon.
11 A řekl: Jestliže Syrští budou silnější mne, přispěješ mi na pomoc; jestliže pak Ammonitští silnější budou tebe, také přispěji, abych pomohl tobě.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
12 Posiliž se, a buďme udatní, bojujíce za lid náš a za města Boha našeho, Hospodin pak učiní, což se jemu dobře líbiti bude.
Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
13 I přistoupil Joáb s lidem svým k bitvě proti Syrským, a oni utekli před ním.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
14 Tedy Ammonitští vidouce, že utíkají Syrští, utekli i oni před Abizai a vešli do města. I navrátil se Joáb od Ammonitských a přišel do Jeruzaléma.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
15 Ale Syrští vidouce, že by poraženi byli od Izraele, sebrali se vespolek.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
16 Poslal také Hadarezer a vyvedl Syrské, kteříž bydlejí za řekou, a přišli k Helam; Sobach pak, hejtman vojska Hadarezerova, vedl je.
Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, went before them.
17 I oznámeno to Davidovi. Kterýžto shromáždiv všecken lid Izraelský, přepravil se přes Jordán, a přitáhli k Helam. I sšikovali se Syrští proti Davidovi, a bojovali proti němu.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought him.
18 Tedy utekli Syrští před Izraelem, a porazil David z Syrských sedm set vozů a čtyřidceti tisíc jezdců. Sobacha také hejtmana vojska toho ranil, i umřel tu.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and died there.
19 Když pak viděli všickni králové, kteříž byli při Hadarezerovi, že jsou poraženi od Izraele, vešli v pokoj s Izraelem a sloužili jemu. A nesměli již více Syrští táhnouti na pomoc Ammonitským.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
