1 Kronická 19
1 Stalo se zatím, že umřel Náhas král Ammonitský, a kraloval syn jeho místo něho.
Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
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.
[When] David [heard about that, he] thought [to himself], “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that he was sorry to hear that Hanun’s father [had died]. But when David’s officials came to Hanun in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
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?
the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is really to honor your father that King David is sending these men to say that he is sorry that your father died? [We think that] his men have come to (look around/spy) our city in order to determine how his [army] can conquer us.”
4 Pročež Chanun vzav služebníky Davidovy, oholil je a zustřihoval roucha jejich polovici až do rozkroků, a propustil je.
Hanun [believed what they said, so he commanded some soldiers to] seize the officials whom David had sent, and shave off their beards, and [insult them by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, and then send them away. [So his soldiers did that].
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.
The officials were greatly humiliated/ashamed. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent some messengers to them to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
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.
Then the [leaders of the] Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David. So Hanun and some of his officials sent about (37,000 pounds/34,000 kg.) of silver to hire chariots and chariot-drivers from [the] Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Maacah and Zobah [regions of Syria northeast of Israel].
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.
They hired 32,000 chariots and chariot-drivers, as well as the king of [the] Maacah [region] and his army. They came and set up their tents near Medeba [town in Moab region]. The soldiers from the Ammon people-group also marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) [at the entrance to their capital city, Rabbah].
8 Což uslyšav David, poslal Joába se vším vojskem udatných.
When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
9 A tak vytáhše Ammonitští, sšikovali se k boji u brány města toho. Králové pak, kteříž byli přitáhli, byli zvláště na poli.
The soldiers of the Ammon people-group came out of their city and lined up for battle at the entrance to [their capital city, Rabbah]. Meanwhile, the other kings who had come [with their armies] stood in their positions in the open fields.
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.
Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he selected some of the best Israeli troops and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
11 Ostatek pak lidu dal pod správu Abizaie bratra svého, a sšikovali se proti Ammonitským.
He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of his other soldiers and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
12 I řekl Joáb: Jestliže Syrští budou mne silnější, přispěješ mi na pomoc; pakli Ammonitští silnější budou tebe, já pomohu tobě.
Joab said to them, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, then your soldiers must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat them, then my soldiers will come and help your men.
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.
We must be strong/courageous, and fight hard to [defend] our people and our cities (that belong to/where we worship) our God. I will pray that Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”
14 Takž přistoupil Joáb i lid, kterýž při něm byl, k bitvě proti Syrským. Ale oni utekli před ním.
So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away 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 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 [and his army] returned 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.
After [the leaders of the army of] Syria realized that they had been defeated by [the army of] Israel, they sent messengers to [another part of Syria on] the east side of the [Euphrates] river, and brought troops from there [to the battle area], with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading 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.
When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River]. They advanced and took their battle positions to attack the army of Syria.
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.
But the army of Syria ran away from the soldiers of Israel. However, David’s soldiers killed 7,000 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also killed Shophach, their army commander.
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 kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli army, they made peace with David, and agreed to allow him to rule them. So the rulers of Syria did not want to help the rulers of the Ammon people-group any more.
