< 1 Chronicles 19 >

1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
Mukufamba kwenguva, Nahashi mambo wavaAmoni akafa, mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
2 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 children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
Dhavhidhi akafunga akati, “Ndicharatidza mwoyo wakanaka kuna Hanuni mwanakomana waNahashi nokuti baba vake vakaratidza mwoyo wakanaka kwandiri.” Saka Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kundonyaradza Hanuni pamusoro pababa vake. Vanhu vaDhavhidhi pavakasvika kuna Hanuni munyika yavaAmoni kuzomunyaradza,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
machinda avaAmoni akati kuna Hanuni, “Unofunga here kuti Dhavhidhi ari kukudza baba vako nokutuma vanhu vake kuti vauye kuzokunyaradza? Vanhu vake havana kuuya kuzosora nyika yedu here kuti vaitore?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
Saka Hanuni akabata vanhu vaDhavhidhi, akavagera ndebvu dzavo, akacheka nguo dzavo napakati kumagaro, akavadzinga.
5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
Mumwe munhu akauya akaudza Dhavhidhi pamusoro pavarume ava, Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kuti dzinosangana navo nokuti vakanga vanyadziswa kwazvo. Mambo akati, “Garai paJeriko kusvikira ndebvu dzenyu dzakura, mugozodzoka.”
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
VaAmoni vakati vaziva kuti vakanga vava chinhu chinonhuhwa mumhino dzaDhavhidhi, Hanuni navaAmoni vakatumira chiuru chamatarenda esirivha kuti vanokumbira ngoro navachairi vadzo kubva kuAramu Naharaimu, Aramu Maaka nokuZobha.
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
Vakakumbira ngoro zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri navachairi vadzo, pamwe chete namambo weMaaka navarwi vake, uye akauya akadzika musasa pedyo neMedebha, ukuwo vaAmoni vachiungana kubva mumaguta avo, uye vakabuda kundorwa.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
Paakanzwa izvi, Dhavhidhi akatuma Joabhu kuti abude nehondo yose yavarume vokurwa.
9 The children 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.
VaAmoni vakabudawo vakagadzirira kurwa uye vakamira vari mumitsetse yokurwa pasuo reguta ravo, uye madzimambo akanga auya akanga ari pachawo musango.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
Joabhu akaona kuti kwaiva nemitsetse yavanhu vakagadzirira kurwa mberi kwake neshure kwake; saka akasarudza mamwe amapoka avarwi vapamusoro muIsraeri akavaendesa kuti vandorwa navaAramu.
11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Akaisa vamwe varume vose pasi paAbhishai mununʼuna wake uye vakaendeswa kuti vandorwa navaAmoni.
12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
Joabhu akati, “Kana vaAramu vandikundaka, ipapo iwe unofanira kuzondinunura; asi kana vaAmoni vakakukunda, ipapo ini ndichakununura.
13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
Simba uye ngatirwirei vanhu vedu namaguta aMwari wedu takashinga. Jehovha achaita zvakanaka pamberi pake.”
14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
Ipapo Joabhu navarwi vaiva naye vakaenda kundorwa navaAramu, ivo vakatiza pamberi pavo.
15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
VaAmoni pavakaona kuti vaAramu vakanga vava kutiza, ivo vakatizawo pamberi pomununʼuna wake Abhishai vakamhanyira mukati meguta. Ipapo Joabhu akadzokera kuJerusarema.
16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
Mushure mokunge vaAramu vaona kuti vakanga vakundwa neIsraeri vakatumira nhume kunokokorodza vamwe vaAramu mberi kweRwizi, Shofaki mutungamiri wehondo yaHadhadhezeri achivatungamirira.
17 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
Dhavhidhi paakaudzwa izvi, akaunganidza Israeri yose ndokuyambuka Jorodhani; akaswedera kwavari kunovarwisa uye akaronga mitsetse yehondo akatarisana navo. Dhavhidhi akaita kuti mitsetse yake isangane navaAramu muhondo uye ivo vakarwa naye.
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
Asi vakatiza pamberi paIsraeri, uye Dhavhidhi akauraya zviuru zvinomwe zvavachairi vengoro, nezviuru makumi mana zvavarwi vetsoka. Akaurayawo Shofaki mutungamiri wehondo yavo.
19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
Varanda vaHadhadhezeri pavakaona kuti vakanga vakundwa neIsraeri, vakayanana naDhavhidhi uye vakava pasi pake. Saka vaAramu havana kuzoda kubatsira vaAmoni zvakare.
