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.
Potem se je pripetilo, da je umrl kralj Amónovih otrok in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Hanún.
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,
Potem je David rekel: »Prijaznost bom izkazal Naháševemu sinu Hanúnu, kot je njegov oče izkazal prijaznost meni.« In David je poslal, da ga potolaži po roki svojih služabnikov, zaradi njegovega očeta. In Davidovi služabniki so prišli v deželo Amónovih otrok.
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?
Princi Amónovih otrok pa so rekli svojemu gospodarju Hanúnu: »Misliš, da David spoštuje tvojega očeta, da je k tebi poslal tolažnike? Ali ni David raje svojih služabnikov poslal k tebi, da bi preiskal mesto, vohunil in da ga zruši?«
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.
Zato je Hanún vzel Davidove služabnike, jim pobril eno polovico njihovih brad in njihove obleke odrezal po sredi, celó do njihovih zadnjic in jih poslal proč.
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.
Ko so to povedali Davidu, je poslal, da jih sreča, ker so bili možje silno osramočeni. Kralj je rekel: »Ostanite pri Jerihi, dokler vam brade ne zrastejo in potem se vrnite.«
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.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so se usmradili pred Davidom, so Amónovi otroci poslali in najeli Sirce iz Bet Rehóba, Sirce iz Cobe, dvajset tisoč pešcev in od kralja Maáhe tisoč mož in iz Toba dvanajst tisoč mož.
7 And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
Ko je David slišal o tem, je poslal Joába in vso vojsko mogočnih mož.
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.
Amónovi otroci so prišli ven in se postrojili v bitko ob vhodu velikih vrat. Sirci iz Cobe, iz Rehóba, Toba in Maáhe pa so bili posebej na polju.
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:
Ko je Joáb videl, da je bilo čelo bitke zoper njega spredaj in zadaj, je izbral izmed vseh izbranih Izraelovih mož in jih postrojil zoper Sirce.
10 And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
Preostanek ljudstva pa je izročil v roko svojega brata Abišája, da bi jih lahko postrojil zoper Amónove otroke.
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.
Rekel je: »Če bodo Sirci zame premočni, potem boš ti pomagal meni, toda če bodo Amónovi otroci premočni zate, potem bom prišel in ti pomagal.
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.
Bodi odločnega poguma in bodimo možje za naše ljudstvo in za mesta našega Boga, Gospod pa naj stori to, kar se mu zdi dobro.«
13 And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
Joáb se je približal in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, k bitki zoper Sirce in ti so pobegnili pred njim.
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.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Sirci pobegnili, potem so tudi sami pobegnili pred Abišájem in vstopili v mesto. Tako se je Joáb vrnil od Amónovih otrok in prišel v Jeruzalem.
15 Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
Ko so Sirci videli, da so bili udarjeni pred Izraelom, so se zbrali skupaj.
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.
Hadarézer je poslal in privedel ven Sirce, ki so bili onkraj reke in prišli so do Heláma in Šobáh, poveljnik Hadarézerjeve vojske, je šel pred njimi.
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.
Ko je bilo to povedano Davidu, je zbral skupaj ves Izrael in prečkal Jordan ter prišel k Helámu. Sirci pa so se postrojili zoper Davida in se borili z njim.
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.
In Sirci so pobegnili pred Izraelom, in David je usmrtil sedemsto mož sirskih bojnih vozov in štirideset tisoč konjenikov in udaril Šobáha, poveljnika njihove vojske, ki je tam umrl.
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.
Ko so vsi kralji, ki so bili Hadarézerjevi služabniki, videli, da so bili udarjeni pred Izraelom, so z Izraelom sklenili mir in jim služili. Tako so se Sirci bali, da bi še pomagali Amónovim otrokom.
