1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
Ie añe izay le nivilasy t’i Nakase mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo, le nandimbe aze nifehe i ana-dahi’ey.
2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
Le hoe t’i Davide: ho tretrezeko t’i Kanone ana’ i Nakase amy te nitretrezen-drae’e. Aa le nañitrifa’ i Davide ìrake hañohò aze ty aman-drae’e. Aa le nimb’an-tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo mb’ amy Kanone ao o mpitoro’ i Davideo hañohò’ aze,
3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
fe hoe o roandria’ o ana’ i Amoneo amy Kanone; Atao’o te hiasy an-drae’o hao t’i Davide, ie nañihitrifa’e mpañohò? tsy mone nimb’ ama’o mb’etoy i mpitoro’e rey hijilojilo naho hitsoetsoeke vaho hitingatingañe an-tane atoy?
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
Aa le rinambe’ i Kanone i mpitoro’ i Davide rey vaho niharate’e naho tinampa’e añivo o saro’eo, pak’ am-piambesara’e vaho nanoe’e soike.
5 When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
Nimb’eo amy zao ty nitalily amy Davide i nanoañe indaty reiy. Le nirahe’e ty hifanalaka ama’e; fa loho salatse indaty rey. Le hoe i mpanjakay, Mandiñisa e Ieriko ao ampara’ te mitombo o tateahe’ areoo, izay vaho mimpoly.
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
Ie napota’ o ana’ i Amoneo t’ie mañati-fofots’ amy Davide, le nihitrife’ i Kanone naho o ana’ i Amoneo ty volafoty arivo hañaramà’ iareo sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala boake Arame-naharaime naho boak’e Arame-maakà vaho boak’ amy Tsobà.
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
Aa le nañeke sarete telo-ale-tsi-ro’arivo naho ty mpanjaka’ i Maakà rekets’ ondati’eo; le nimb’e Medebà mb’eo iereo vaho nitobe. Nifanontoñe ka o ana’ i Amone boak’ an-drova’eo, le nimb’eo hialy.
8 On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
Ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nirahe’e mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ze fonga fanalolahy amy valobohokey.
9 The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
Niavotse o ana’ i Amoneo nandahatse i aliy an-dalambei’ i rovay vaho niereñereñe an-kivoke ey o mpanjaka niavio.
10 When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
Ie nizoe’ Ioabe te niatrek’ aze aolo naho amboho’ i hotakotakey, le jinobo’e iaby ty fanalolahi’ Israele vaho nampiatrefe’e amo nte-Arameo.
11 And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
Nafanto’e ho am-pità’ i Abisay rahalahi’e ondaty ila’eo le sindre nilahatse hiatreke amo ana’ i Amoneo.
12 “If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
Aa hoe re, Naho loho maozatse amako o nte-Arameo le ihe ty hañolotse ahy; aa naho maozatse te ama’o ka o ana’ i Amoneo le izaho ty hañolotse azo.
13 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
Mahasibeha le antao tika hamente t’ie maozatse ho am’ondatin-tikañeo naho ho amo rovan’ Añaharen-tikañeo; le hanoe’ Iehovà ze arofoana’e hahasoa.
14 So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
Aa le niheo mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ondaty mpiama’eo nihotakotak’ amo nte Arameo, ie nitriban-day aolo’e eo.
15 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
Aa ie nioni’ o ana’ i Amoneo te nilay añe o nte-Arameo le nilay añatrefa’ i Abisay, rahalahi’e ka vaho nimoak’ an-drova ao. Aa le nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe t’Ioabe.
16 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
Ie nirendre’ o nte-Arameo te ginio’ Israele, le nañitrike ìrake, nangalake o nte-Arame alafe’ i Sakaio, rekets’ i Sopake mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ i Hadadezere ho mpiaolo.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
Natalily amy Davide, le natonto’e iaby t’Israele naho nitsake Iordaney mb’eo naho nivotrak’ am’ iereo vaho nalaha’e am’ iereo i hotakotakey. Aa ie nalaha’ i Davide amo nte-Arameo i aley le nifandrapaha’e.
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
Nilay añ’ atrefa’ Israele o nte-Arameo; le zinevo’ i Davide ty fito-arivo amo nte-Arame an-tsareteo naho ty efats-ale an-tomboke vaho vinono’e t’i Sopake mpifehe’ i valobohòkey.
19 When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
Ie tendrek’ amo mpitoro’ i Haderezereo te ginio’ Israele, le nifampilongo amy Davide naho nitoroñe aze vaho tsy nimete handrombake o ana’ i Amoneo ka o nte-Arameo.
