2 Samuel 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio, mũthamaki wa Aamoni agĩkua, nake Hanuni, mũriũ, agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
2 And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
Nake Daudi agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnguonania ũtugi kũrĩ Hanuni mũrũ wa Nahashu, o ta ũrĩa ithe aanjĩkire maũndũ ma ũtugi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Hanuni makamũcakaithie nĩ ũndũ wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ ithe. Rĩrĩa andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Daudi maakinyire bũrũri-inĩ wa Aamoni-rĩ,
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta a Aamoni makĩũria Hanuni mwathi wao atĩrĩ, “Ũreciiria Daudi nĩ thoguo aratĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gũgũtũmĩra andũ magũcakaithie? Githĩ Daudi ndatũmĩte andũ aya kũrĩ we nĩgeetha matuĩrie na mathigaane itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, nĩguo macooke marĩtunyane?”
4 Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hanuni akĩnyiitithia andũ acio a Daudi, na akĩmenjithia nderu rwere rũmwe, na agĩtinia nguo ciao irima gatagatĩ ka njikarĩro, na akĩmaingata.
5 When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio, agĩtũma andũ makamatũnge tondũ andũ acio nĩmaconorithĩtio mũno. Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ikarai kũu Jeriko nginya nderu cianyu ikũre, mũcooke mũũke.”
6 And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
Rĩrĩa Aamoni maamenyire atĩ nĩmatuĩkĩte kĩndũ kĩnungu harĩ Daudi-rĩ, makĩandĩka thigari cia magũrũ cia Asuriata ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuuma Bethi-Rehobu na Zoba, o na mũthamaki wa Maaka arĩ na andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe, o na ningĩ andũ ngiri ikũmi na igĩrĩ kuuma Tobu.
7 And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
Nake Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩtũma Joabu na ita rĩothe rĩa mbaara.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
Nao Aamoni makiumagara, makĩara mĩhari ya mbũtũ cia mbaara kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩao inene, nao Asuriata a Zoba na Rehobu, na andũ a Tobu na a Maaka maarĩ oiki kũu werũ-inĩ.
9 Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
Nake Joabu akĩona atĩ thigari nĩciarĩte mĩhari ya mbaara mbere yake o na thuutha wake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthuura mbũtũ imwe iria ciarĩ njamba mũno kũu Isiraeli, agĩcitũma ikarũe na Asuriata.
10 And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
Andũ acio angĩ akĩmaiga watho-inĩ wa Abishai mũrũ wa nyina, na akĩmatũma makarũe na andũ a Amoni.
11 And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Asuriata mangĩĩngĩria hinya-rĩ, wee ũũke ũndeithie; no Aamoni mangĩgũkĩria hinya-rĩ, nĩngũũka ngũteithie.
12 Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
Wĩyũmĩrĩrie nĩgeetha tũrũe na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aitũ na nĩ ũndũ wa matũũra manene ma Ngai witũ. Jehova nĩegwĩka ũrĩa ekuona kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make.”
13 And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
Ningĩ Joabu na mbũtũ ciake magĩtharĩkĩra Asuriata, nao makĩmoorĩra.
14 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Rĩrĩa Aamoni moonire atĩ Asuriata nĩmaroora-rĩ, o nao makĩũrĩra Abishai, magĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩrĩa inene. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu agĩcooka agĩtiga kũrũa na Aamoni na agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
15 Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
Thuutha wa Asuriata kuona atĩ nĩmatoorio nĩ andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe rĩngĩ.
16 And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
Hadadezeri aarehithĩtie Asuriata kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati; magĩthiĩ nginya Helamu marĩ hamwe, na Shobaki mũnene wa mbũtũ ya ita ya Hedadezeri, amatongoretie.
17 And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
Rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩcookanĩrĩria ita rĩa Isiraeli rĩothe, makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani na magĩthiĩ nginya Helamu. Nao Asuriata makĩara mĩhari ya thigari cia mbaara igatũngane na Daudi, makĩrũa nake.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
No rĩrĩ, Asuriata acio makĩũrĩra Isiraeli, nake Daudi akĩũraga andũ magana mũgwanja arĩa maatwarithagia ngaari ciao cia ita, na thigari cia magũrũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩna. Ningĩ akĩũraga Shobaki mũnene wa mbũtũ ciao, agĩkuĩra kũu.
19 And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
Rĩrĩa athamaki arĩa othe maarĩ ndungata cia Hadadezeri moonire atĩ nĩmahootwo nĩ Isiraeli-rĩ, magĩthondeka thayũ na andũ a Isiraeli na magĩtuĩka a gwathagwo nĩo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Asuriata magĩĩtigĩra gũcooka gũteithia Aamoni hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
