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.
Mukufamba kwenguva, Nahashi mambo wavaAmoni akafa, mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
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,
Dhavhidhi akafunga akati, “Ndicharatidza mwoyo wakanaka kuna Hanuni mwanakomana waNahashi nokuti baba vake vakaratidza mwoyo wakanaka kwandiri.” Saka Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kundonyaradza Hanuni pamusoro pababa vake. Vanhu vaDhavhidhi pavakasvika kuna Hanuni munyika yavaAmoni kuzomunyaradza,
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.
machinda avaAmoni akati kuna Hanuni, “Unofunga here kuti Dhavhidhi ari kukudza baba vako nokutuma vanhu vake kuti vauye kuzokunyaradza? Vanhu vake havana kuuya kuzosora nyika yedu here kuti vaitore?”
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.
Saka Hanuni akabata vanhu vaDhavhidhi, akavagera ndebvu dzavo, akacheka nguo dzavo napakati kumagaro, akavadzinga.
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.
Mumwe munhu akauya akaudza Dhavhidhi pamusoro pavarume ava, Dhavhidhi akatuma nhume kuti dzinosangana navo nokuti vakanga vanyadziswa kwazvo. Mambo akati, “Garai paJeriko kusvikira ndebvu dzenyu dzakura, mugozodzoka.”
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.
VaAmoni vakati vaziva kuti vakanga vava chinhu chinonhuhwa mumhino dzaDhavhidhi, Hanuni navaAmoni vakatumira chiuru chamatarenda esirivha kuti vanokumbira ngoro navachairi vadzo kubva kuAramu Naharaimu, Aramu Maaka nokuZobha.
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.
Vakakumbira ngoro zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri navachairi vadzo, pamwe chete namambo weMaaka navarwi vake, uye akauya akadzika musasa pedyo neMedebha, ukuwo vaAmoni vachiungana kubva mumaguta avo, uye vakabuda kundorwa.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
Paakanzwa izvi, Dhavhidhi akatuma Joabhu kuti abude nehondo yose yavarume vokurwa.
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.
VaAmoni vakabudawo vakagadzirira kurwa uye vakamira vari mumitsetse yokurwa pasuo reguta ravo, uye madzimambo akanga auya akanga ari pachawo musango.
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,
Joabhu akaona kuti kwaiva nemitsetse yavanhu vakagadzirira kurwa mberi kwake neshure kwake; saka akasarudza mamwe amapoka avarwi vapamusoro muIsraeri akavaendesa kuti vandorwa navaAramu.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
Akaisa vamwe varume vose pasi paAbhishai mununʼuna wake uye vakaendeswa kuti vandorwa navaAmoni.
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.
Joabhu akati, “Kana vaAramu vandikundaka, ipapo iwe unofanira kuzondinunura; asi kana vaAmoni vakakukunda, ipapo ini ndichakununura.
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.
Simba uye ngatirwirei vanhu vedu namaguta aMwari wedu takashinga. Jehovha achaita zvakanaka pamberi pake.”
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Ipapo Joabhu navarwi vaiva naye vakaenda kundorwa navaAramu, ivo vakatiza pamberi pavo.
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.
VaAmoni pavakaona kuti vaAramu vakanga vava kutiza, ivo vakatizawo pamberi pomununʼuna wake Abhishai vakamhanyira mukati meguta. Ipapo Joabhu akadzokera kuJerusarema.
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.
Mushure mokunge vaAramu vaona kuti vakanga vakundwa neIsraeri vakatumira nhume kunokokorodza vamwe vaAramu mberi kweRwizi, Shofaki mutungamiri wehondo yaHadhadhezeri achivatungamirira.
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.
Dhavhidhi paakaudzwa izvi, akaunganidza Israeri yose ndokuyambuka Jorodhani; akaswedera kwavari kunovarwisa uye akaronga mitsetse yehondo akatarisana navo. Dhavhidhi akaita kuti mitsetse yake isangane navaAramu muhondo uye ivo vakarwa naye.
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.
Asi vakatiza pamberi paIsraeri, uye Dhavhidhi akauraya zviuru zvinomwe zvavachairi vengoro, nezviuru makumi mana zvavarwi vetsoka. Akaurayawo Shofaki mutungamiri wehondo yavo.
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.
Varanda vaHadhadhezeri pavakaona kuti vakanga vakundwa neIsraeri, vakayanana naDhavhidhi uye vakava pasi pake. Saka vaAramu havana kuzoda kubatsira vaAmoni zvakare.
