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.
Sesudah itu matilah raja bani Amon; dan Hanun, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
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.
Lalu berkatalah Daud: "Aku akan menunjukkan persahabatan kepada Hanun bin Nahas, sama seperti ayahnya telah menunjukkan persahabatan kepadaku." Sebab itu Daud menyuruh menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita kepadanya dengan perantaraan pegawai-pegawainya karena kematian ayahnya. Tetapi ketika pegawai-pegawai Daud sampai ke negeri bani Amon itu,
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?
berkatalah pemuka-pemuka bani Amon itu kepada Hanun, tuan mereka: "Apakah menurut anggapanmu Daud hendak menghormati ayahmu, karena ia telah mengutus kepadamu orang-orang yang menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita? Bukankah dengan maksud untuk menyelidik kota ini, untuk mengintainya dan menghancurkannya maka Daud mengutus pegawai-pegawainya itu kepadamu?"
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.
Lalu Hanun menyuruh menangkap pegawai-pegawai Daud itu, disuruhnya mencukur setengah dari janggut mereka dan memotong pakaian mereka pada bagian tengah sampai pantat mereka, kemudian dilepasnya mereka.
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.
Hal ini diberitahukan kepada Daud, lalu disuruhnya orang menemui mereka, sebab orang-orang itu sangat dipermalukan. Raja berkata: "Tinggallah di Yerikho sampai janggutmu itu tumbuh, kemudian datanglah kembali."
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.
Setelah dilihat bani Amon, bahwa mereka dibenci Daud, maka bani Amon itu menyuruh orang menyewa dari orang Aram-Bet-Rehob dan orang Aram dari Zoba dua puluh ribu orang pasukan berjalan kaki, dari raja negeri Maakha seribu orang dan dari orang-orang Tob dua belas ribu orang.
7 And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.
Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, disuruhnyalah Yoab maju dengan segenap pasukan pahlawan.
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.
Lalu bani Amon maju, diaturnya barisan perangnya di depan pintu gerbang, sedang orang Aram dari Zoba dan dari Rehob dan orang-orang Tob dan Maakha ada tersendiri di padang.
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;
Ketika Yoab melihat, bahwa serangan itu mengancam dia dari depan dan dari belakang, maka dipilihnyalah sebagian dari orang pilihan Israel, lalu ia mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan orang Aram itu.
10 And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
Selebihnya dari rakyat itu ditempatkannya di bawah pimpinan Abisai, adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan bani Amon itu.
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.
Lalu berkatalah Yoab: "Jika orang Aram itu lebih kuat dari padaku, maka haruslah engkau menolong aku, tetapi jika bani Amon itu lebih kuat dari padamu, maka aku akan datang menolong engkau.
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.
Kuatkanlah hatimu dan marilah kita menguatkan hati untuk bangsa kita dan untuk kota-kota Allah kita. TUHAN kiranya melakukan yang baik di mata-Nya."
13 Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
Lalu Yoab dan tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia maju berperang melawan orang Aram dan orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapannya.
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.
Ketika bani Amon melihat, bahwa orang Aram sudah melarikan diri, maka merekapun larilah dari hadapan Abisai dan masuk ke dalam kota. Sesudah itu pulanglah Yoab setelah memerangi bani Amon dan sampailah ia ke Yerusalem.
15 And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.
Ketika orang Aram melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka berkumpullah mereka bersama-sama.
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.
Juga Hadadezer menyuruh orang Aram yang di seberang sungai Efrat maju berperang; mereka sampai ke Helam di bawah pimpinan Sobakh, panglima tentara Hadadezer.
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.
Setelah hal itu diberitahukan kepada Daud, maka dikumpulkannya seluruh orang Israel, diseberanginya sungai Yordan, lalu sampai ke Helam. Orang Aram mengatur barisannya berhadapan dengan Daud dan bertempur melawan dia,
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.
tetapi orang Aram itu lari dari hadapan orang Israel, dan Daud membunuh dari orang Aram itu tujuh ratus ekor kuda kereta dan empat puluh ribu orang pasukan berkuda. Sobakh, panglima tentara mereka, dilukainya sedemikian, hingga ia mati di sana.
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.
Ketika dilihat semua raja, yang takluk kepada Hadadezer, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka mereka mengadakan perdamaian dengan orang Israel dan takluk kepada mereka; sesudah itu takutlah orang Aram memberi pertolongan lagi kepada bani Amon.
