1 Chronicles 19
1 NOW it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
E aconteceu, depois disto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos de Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Então disse David: Usarei de beneficência com Hanun, filho de Nahas, porque seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. Pelo que David enviou mensageiros para o consolarem acerca de seu pai. E, vindo os servos de David à terra dos filhos de Ammon, a Hanun, para o consolarem,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Ammon a Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te mandou consoladores? não vieram seus servos a ti, a esquadrinhar, e a transtornar, e a espiar a terra?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
Pelo que Hanun tomou os servos de David, e os rapou, e lhes cortou os vestidos no meio até à coxa da perna, e os despediu.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
E foram-se, e avisaram a David acerca destes homens, e mandou ao encontro deles; porque aqueles homens estavam sobremaneira envergonhados. Disse pois o rei: deixai-vos ficar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba, e então tornai.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon que se tinham feito odiosos para com David, então enviou Hanun, e os filhos de Ammon, mil talentos de prata, para alugarem para si carros e cavaleiros de Mesopotâmia, e da Síria de Maaca, e de Zoba.
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
E alugaram para si trinta e dois mil carros, e o rei de Maaca e a sua gente, e eles vieram, e se acamparam diante de Medeba: também os filhos de Ammon se ajuntaram das suas cidades, e vieram para a guerra.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exército dos homens valorosos.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
E, saindo os filhos de Ammon, ordenaram a batalha à porta da cidade: porém os reis que vieram se puseram à parte no campo.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
E, vendo Joab que a frente da batalha estava contra ele por diante e por detraz, fez escolha dentre os mais escolhidos de Israel, e os ordenou contra os siros:
11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai, seu irmão; e puseram-se em ordem de batalha contra os filhos de Ammon.
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, then I will help thee.
E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu virás socorrer-me; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, então eu te socorrerei a ti.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight.
Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades do nosso Deus, e faça o Senhor o que parecer bem aos seus olhos.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha consigo, diante dos siros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante dele.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon que os siros fugiram, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade: e veio Joab para Jerusalém.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
E, vendo os siros que foram derrotados diante de Israel, enviaram mensageiros, e fizeram sair os siros que habitavam da banda de além do rio: e Sophac, capitão do exército de Hadar-ezer, marchava diante deles.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
Do que avisado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio ter com eles, e ordenou contra eles a batalha: e, tendo David ordenado a batalha contra os siros, pelejaram contra ele.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e feriu David, dos siros, sete mil cavalos de carros, e quarenta mil homens de pé: e a Sophac, capitão do exército, matou.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
Vendo pois os servos d'Hadar-ezer que tinham sido feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com David, e o serviram: e os siros nunca mais quizeram socorrer os filhos de Ammon.
