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.
Torej po tem se je pripetilo, da je umrl Naháš, kralj Amónovih otrok in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin.
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,
David je rekel: »Izkazal bom prijaznost Naháševemu sinu Hanúnu, ker je njegov oče izkazal prijaznost meni.« In David je poslal poslance, da ga potolažijo glede njegovega očeta. Tako so Davidovi služabniki prišli v deželo Amónovih otrok k Hanúnu, da ga potolažijo.
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.
Toda princi Amónovih otrok so Hanúnu rekli: »Misliš, da je David spoštoval tvojega očeta, da ti je poslal tolažnike? Mar niso njegovi služabniki prišli k tebi, da preiščejo, preobrnejo in si ogledajo deželo?«
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.
Zato je Hanún prijel Davidove služabnike, jih obril in njihove obleke odrezal po sredi, tik poleg njihovih zadnjic in jih odposlal proč.
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.
Potem so nekateri odšli in Davidu povedali, kako so bili možje postreženi. In poslal je, da jih sreča, kajti možje so bili silno osramočeni. Kralj je rekel: »Ostanite pri Jerihi, dokler vam brade ne zrastejo, potem se vrnite.«
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.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Davidu postali zoprni, so Hanún in Amónovi otroci poslali tisoč talentov srebra, da si iz Mezopotamije, iz sirske Maáhe in Cobe najamejo bojne vozove in konjenike.
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.
Tako so najeli dvaintrideset tisoč bojnih vozov, kralja Maáhe in njegovo ljudstvo, ki so prišli in se utaborili pred Médebo. In Amónovi otroci so se zbrali skupaj iz svojih mest in prišli na bitko.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
Ko je David slišal o tem, je poslal Joába in vso vojsko mogočnih mož.
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.
Amónovi otroci so prišli ven in se pred velikimi vrati mesta postrojili v bitko. Kralji, ki so prišli, pa so bili posebej na polju.
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,
Torej ko je Joáb videl, da je bila bitka zoper njega postavljena spredaj in zadaj, je izmed vseh izbral izbrane Izraelove in jih postrojil zoper Sirce.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
Preostanek ljudstva pa je izročil v roko svojega brata Abišája, in ti so se postrojili zoper Amónove otroke.
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.
Rekel je: »Če bodo Sirci zame premočni, potem mi boš ti pomagal, toda če bodo Amónovi otroci premočni zate, potem bom jaz pomagal tebi.
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.
Bodi odločnega poguma in se junaško obnašajva za naše ljudstvo in za mesta našega Boga. Gospod pa naj stori to, kar je dobro v njegovem pogledu.«
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Tako se je Joáb in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, približalo pred Sirce k bitki, ti pa so pobegnili pred njim.
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.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Sirci pobegnili, so tudi sami pobegnili pred njegovim bratom Abišájem in vstopili v mesto. Potem je Joáb prišel v Jeruzalem.
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.
Ko pa so Sirci videli, da so bili pred Izraelom poraženi, so poslali poslance in pripeljali Sirce, ki so bili onkraj reke; in Šopáh, poveljnik Hadarézerjeve vojske, je šel pred njimi.
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.
To je bilo povedano Davidu in ta je zbral ves Izrael, prečkal Jordan in prišel nadnje in se postrojil v bitko zoper njih. Torej, ko se je David postrojil v bitko zoper Sirce, so se ti bojevali z njim.
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.
Toda Sirci so zbežali pred Izraelom in David jih je izmed Sircev usmrtil sedem tisoč mož, ki so se bojevali na bojnih vozovih in štirideset tisoč pešcev in ubil poveljnika vojske Šopáha.
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.
Ko so Hadarézerjevi služabniki videli, da so bili pred Izraelom poraženi, so z Davidom sklenili mir in postali njegovi služabniki; niti Sirci niso hoteli več pomagati Amónovim otrokom.
