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.
А после тога умре цар синова Амонових, и зацари се Анун син његов на његово место.
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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 of [it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском својом.
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.
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 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:
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 into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array against the children of Ammon.
А остали народ предаде Ависају брату свом да их намести према синовима Амоновим.
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.
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 play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
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 drew nigh, and the people that [were] with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце, али они побегоше испред њега.
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.
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 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Али Сирци кад видеше где их надбише Израиљци, скупише се опет.
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.
И Адад-Езер посла, те доведе Сирце испреко реке, који дођоше у Елам; а Совак, војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
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.
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 [the men of] seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
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 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.
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.
