2 Samuel 10
1 Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, a zakralji se njegov sin Hanun mjesto njega.
2 And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
A David reče u sebi: “Želio bih iskazati ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu, kao što je njegov otac iskazao meni.” Zato David posla svoje sluge da mu izraze sućut zbog njegova oca. Ali kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca,
3 But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?
rekoše knezovi Amonaca svome gospodaru Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nije li možda zato David poslao svoje ljude k tebi da razvide grad da bi doznao njegovu obranu i potom ga oborio?”
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge, obrija im pola brade i skrati im haljine dopola, sve do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag.
5 When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su ti ljudi bili teško osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada, pa se onda vratite!”
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.
Tada Amonci uvidješe da su se omrazili s Davidom; zato Amonci poslaše glasnike da za plaću unajme Aramejce iz Bet Rehoba i Aramejce iz Sobe, dvadeset tisuća pješaka, zatim kralja Maake, tisuću ljudi, i ljude iz Toba, dvanaest tisuća vojnika.
7 And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.
Kad je David to čuo, posla Joaba s vojskom i izabranim junacima.
8 And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Amonci iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima, dok su Aramejci iz Sobe i iz Rehoba i ljudi iz Toba i iz Maake stajali zasebno na polju.
9 Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi sprijeda i straga, probra Joab najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
10 And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
11 And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
12 Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
13 Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada Joab odustane od rata protiv Amonaca i vrati se u Jeruzalem.
15 And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.
Kad su Aramejci vidjeli gdje su ih Izraelci razbili, sabraše ponovo svoje čete.
16 And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
Hadadezer posla glasnike i sabra Aramejce što su s one strane rijeke. Ovi dođoše u Helam pod vodstvom Šobaka, vojvode Hadadezerove vojske.
17 And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, dođe u Helam. Aramejci se svrstaše protiv Davida i zametnuše s njime boj.
18 And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam stotina konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubi i njihova vojvodu Šobaka te je ondje umro.
19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.
A kad svi kraljevi, Hadadezerovi vazali, vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Izraelom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
