1 Chronicles 19
1 After this also Nahash the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and his sonne reigned in his stead.
Torej po tem se je pripetilo, da je umrl Naháš, kralj Amónovih otrok in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin.
2 And Dauid said, I will shew kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, because his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent messengers to comfort him for his father. So the seruants of Dauid came into the lande of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
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 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that Dauid doeth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters vnto thee? Are not his seruants come to thee to search, to seeke and to spie out the 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 Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued them, and cut off their garments by the halfe vnto the buttocks, 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 there went certaine and tolde Dauid concerning the men: and he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King saide, Tarie at Iericho, vntill your beardes be growen: then returne.
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 When the children of Ammon saw that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, then sent Hanun and the children of Ammon a thousande talents of siluer to hire them charets and horsemen out of Aram Naharaim and out of Aram Maachah, and out of Zobah.
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 them two and thirty thousande charets, and the King of Maachah and his people, which came and pitched before Medeba: and the children of Ammon gathered themselues together from their cities, and came to the battell.
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 Dauid heard, he sent Ioab and all the hoste of the 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 set their battell in aray at the gate of the citie. And the Kings that were come, were by them selues in the fielde.
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 When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, then he chose out of all the choyse of Israel, and set him selfe in aray to meete the Aramites.
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 deliuered vnto the hande of Abishai his brother, and they put them selues in aray 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 saide, If Aram be too strong for me, then thou shalt succour me: and if the children of Ammon preuaile against thee, then I wil succour 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 strong, and let vs shewe our selues valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord doe that which is good in his owne 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 Ioab and the people that was with him, came neere before the Aramites vnto the battel, and they fled before him.
Tako se je Joáb in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, približalo pred Sirce k bitki, ti pa so pobegnili pred njim.
15 And when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai his brother, and entred into the citie: so Ioab came to Ierusalem.
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 And when the Aramites sawe that they were discomfited before Israel, they sent messengers and caused the Aramites to come forth that were beyond the riuer: and Shophach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went before them.
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 when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israel, and went ouer Iorden, and came vnto them, and put him selfe in aray against them: And when Dauid had put him selfe in battel aray to meete the Aramites, 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 Aramites fled before Israel, and Dauid destroyed of the Aramites seuen thousand charets, and fourtie thousand footemen, and killed Shophach the captaine of the hoste.
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 seruants of Hadarezer sawe that they fell before Israel, they made peace with Dauid, and serued him. And the Aramites would no more succour the children of Ammon.
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.
