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.
А после тога умре цар синова Амонових, и зацари се Анун син његов на његово место.
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,
И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, као што је отац његов мени учинио милост. И посла Давид да га потеши за оцем преко слуга својих. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових.
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?
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 није зато послао Давид к теби слуге своје да промотри град и уходи, па после да га раскопа?
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.
Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија им браде до пола и одсече им хаљине по поле, до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
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.
А кад то јавише Давиду, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону докле вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
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.
Тада синови Амонови видећи где се омразише с Давидом, послаше синови Амонови, те најмише Сираца од Вет-Реова и Сираца од Сове двадесет хиљада пешака, и у цара од Махе хиљаду људи, и од Ис-Това дванаест хиљада људи.
7 And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском својом.
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.
И Изиђоше синови Амонови, и уврсташе се пред вратима, а Сирци из Сове и из Реова и људи из Ис-Това и из Махе беху за себе у пољу.
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:
И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и озад, узе одабране из све војске израиљске, и намести их према Сирцима;
10 And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
А остали народ предаде Ависају брату свом да их намести према синовима Амоновим.
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.
И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу доћи теби у помоћ.
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.
Буди храбар, и држимо се храбро за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је по вољи.
13 And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце, али они побегоше испред њега.
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.
А синови Амонови видећи где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја, и уђоше у свој град. И врати се Јоав од синова Амонових, и дође у Јерусалим.
15 Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
Али Сирци кад видеше где их надбише Израиљци, скупише се опет.
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.
И Адад-Езер посла, те доведе Сирце испреко реке, који дођоше у Елам; а Совак, војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
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.
Кад то јавише Давиду, он скупи све Израиљце, и пређе преко Јордана и дође у Елам; и Сирци се наместише против Давида и побише се с Давидом.
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.
Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам стотина и четрдесет хиљада коњика; и Совака војводу њиховог уби, те погибе онде.
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.
И кад видеше сви цареви, слуге Адад-Езерове, да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Израиљем, и служаху им, и Сирци не смеше више помагати синовима Амоновим.
