1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this that Nahash king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, i zakralji mu se sin na njegovo mjesto.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
David reče u sebi: “Iskazat ću ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu jer je i njegov otac iskazao milost meni.” David uputi poslanike da mu izraze sućut zbog smrti njegova oca. Kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca k Hanunu da mu izraze sućut,
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search and overthrow, and to spy out the land that his servants are come to thee?
rekoše knezovi Amonaca Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nisu li zato došle njegove sluge k tebi da razvide, istraže i uhode zemlju?”
4 And Hanun took David's servants, and had them shaved, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as the hip, and sent them away.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge i obrija ih, podreza im haljine dopola, do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag!
5 And [certain] went and told David concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su bili vrlo osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada pa se onda vratite.”
6 And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and from the Syrians of Maacah, and from Zobah.
Kad su Amonovi sinovi vidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslao je Hanun s Amonovim sinovima tisuću srebrnih talenata da za plaću najme bojnih kola i konjanika iz Aram Naharajima, iz Aram Maake i iz Soba.
7 And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
Najmili su za plaću trideset i dvije tisuće bojnih kola, i kralja Maake s njegovim narodom te su oni došli i utaborili se pred Medebom. Amonovi su se sinovi skupili iz svojih gradova i došli u boj.
8 And David heard [of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.
Kad je to čuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom svojom junačkom vojskom.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the city; and the kings that had come were by themselves on the field.
Amonovi sinovi iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima; a kraljevi koji su došli stajali su zasebno na polju.
10 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi, sprijeda i straga, Joab probra najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
11 and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako li Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
13 Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah will do what is good in his sight.
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
14 And Joab and the people that were with him drew near in front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred njegova brata Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada se Joab vrati u Jeruzalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
A Aramejci, vidjevši gdje su ih potukli Izraelci, uputili su poslanike i doveli Aramejce što su s onu stranu Rijeke, na čelu sa Šofakom, vojvodom Hadadezerove vojske.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array against them. And David put the battle in array against the Syrians, and they fought with him.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, primače se Aramejcima i svrsta se prema njima; kad se David svrstao prema Aramejcima u bojni red, oni zametnuše s njime boj.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and slew Shophach the captain of the host.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam tisuća konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubio je i vojvodu Šofaka.
19 And the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with David, and became his servants. And the Syrians would no more help the children of Ammon.
Kad Hadadezerove sluge vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Davidom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
