1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
А после тога умре Нас, цар синова Амонових, и зацари се син његов на његово место.
2 And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, јер је отац његов начинио мени милост. И посла Давид посланике да га потеше за оцем. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових к Ануну да га потеше.
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
А кнезови синова Амонових рекоше Ануну, господару свом: Мислиш да је Давид зато послао људе да те потеше што је рад учинити част оцу твом? А нису зато дошле слуге његове к теби да промотре и уходе и оборе земљу?
4 Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија их и одсече им хаљине по поле до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
5 And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
А кад неки отидоше, те јавише Давиду за те људе, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону док вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
А кад видеше синови Амонови где се омразише с Давидом, онда Анун и синови Амонови послаше хиљаду таланата сребра да најме кола и коњика из Месопотамије и из Сирије Махе и из Сове.
7 And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
И најмише тридесет и две хиљаде кола и цара од Махе с народом његовим, који дођоше и стадоше у логор према Медеви. А и синови Амонови скупише се из градова својих и дођоше на бој.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
И изиђоше синови Амонови и уврсташе се пред вратима градским; а цареви који дођоше беху за се у пољу.
10 Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и састраг, узе одабране из све војске израиљске, и намести их према Сирцима.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
А остали народ предаде Ависају, брату свом; и наместише их према синовима Амоновим.
12 And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу теби доћи у помоћ.
13 Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
Буди јунак и држимо се јуначки за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је драго.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце; али они побегоше испред њих.
15 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
А синови Амонови кад видеше где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја брата његовог и уђоше у свој град. Потом се Јоав врати у Јерусалим.
16 But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
Али Сирци кад видеше да их надбише Израиљци, послаше посланике те доведоше Сирце испреко реке; а Софак војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
Кад то јавише Давиду, он скупи све Израиљце, и пређе преко Јордана, и дође к њима и намести војску према њима; а кад намести Давид војску према њима, побише се с њим.
18 But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам хиљада кола и четрдесет хиљада пешака, и Софака војводу погуби.
19 And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
И кад видеше слуге Адад-Езерове да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Давидом и служаху му; и не хтеше више Сирци помагати синовима Амоновим.
