2 Samuelova 10
1 Stalo se také potom, že umřel král Ammonitský, a kraloval Chanun syn jeho po něm.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
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.
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children 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?
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and 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.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the 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 this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, 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.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 Což uslyšev David, poslal Joába se vším vojskem udatných.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 A tak vytáhše Ammonitští, šikovali se k boji u brány, Syrští také, Soba a Rohob, a Istob i Maacha zvláště byli na poli.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
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.
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 Ostatek pak lidu dal pod správu Abizai bratra svého, a sšikoval jej proti Ammonitským.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children 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.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
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 of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 I přistoupil Joáb s lidem svým k bitvě proti Syrským, a oni utekli před ním.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
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.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ale Syrští vidouce, že by poraženi byli od Izraele, sebrali se vespolek.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 Poslal také Hadarezer a vyvedl Syrské, kteříž bydlejí za řekou, a přišli k Helam; Sobach pak, hejtman vojska Hadarezerova, vedl je.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
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.
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against 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.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
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.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
