< 1 Kronická 19 >
1 Stalo se zatím, že umřel Náhas král Ammonitský, a kraloval syn jeho místo něho.
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
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.
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, 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?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, 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.
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 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.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
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.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Což uslyšav David, poslal Joába se vším vojskem udatných.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 A tak vytáhše Ammonitští, sšikovali se k boji u brány města toho. Králové pak, kteříž byli přitáhli, byli zvláště na poli.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
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.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
11 Ostatek pak lidu dal pod správu Abizaie bratra svého, a sšikovali se proti Ammonitským.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
12 I řekl Joáb: Jestliže Syrští budou mne silnější, přispěješ mi na pomoc; pakli Ammonitští silnější budou tebe, já pomohu tobě.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help 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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
14 Takž přistoupil Joáb i lid, kterýž při něm byl, k bitvě proti Syrským. Ale oni utekli před ním.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
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.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then 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.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with 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.
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
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.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
