2 Samuel 10
1 AND it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
E aconteceu depois disto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Ammon, e seu filho Hanun reinou em seu lugar.
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Então disse David: Usarei de beneficência com Hanun, filho de Nahas, como seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. E enviou David a consolá-lo, pelo ministério de seus servos, acerca de seu pai: e vieram os servos de David à terra dos filhos de Ammon.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
Então disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Ammon a seu senhor, Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? porventura não te enviou David os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espia-la, e para transtorna-la?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Então tomou Hanun os servos de David, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade dos vestidos, até às nádegas, e os despediu.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
O que fazendo saber a David, enviou a encontra-los; porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: deixai-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon, que se tinham feito abomináveis para David, enviaram os filhos de Ammon, e alugaram dos siros de Beth-rechob e dos siros de Zoba vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca mil homens e dos homens de Tob doze mil homens.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exército dos valentes.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
E sairam os filhos de Ammon, e ordenaram a batalha à entrada da porta: mas os siros de Zoba e Rechob, e os homens de Tob e Maaca estavam à parte no campo.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
Vendo pois Joab que estava preparada contra ele a frente da batalha, por diante e por detraz, escolheu dentre todos os escolhidos de Israel, e formou-os em linha contra os siros.
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.
11 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 come and help thee.
E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em socorro; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a socorrer-te a ti.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good.
Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o Senhor então o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com ele, à peleja contra os siros; e fugiram de diante dele.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
E, vendo os filhos de Ammon que os siros fugiam, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade: e voltou Joab dos filhos de Ammon, e veio para Jerusalém.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Vendo pois os siros que foram feridos diante de Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
E enviou Hadadezer, e fez sair os siros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helam: e Sobach, chefe do exército de Hadadezer, marchava diante deles.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
Do que informado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio a Helam: e os siros se puseram em ordem contra David, e pelejaram com ele.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e David feriu dentre os siros aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavalo: também ao mesmo Sobach, general do exército, feriu, e morreu ali.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Vendo pois todos os reis, servos de Hadadezer, que foram feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e o serviram: e temeram os siros de socorrer mais aos filhos de Ammon.
