1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nachash the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and his son became king in his stead.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio-rĩ, Nahashu mũthamaki wa Aamoni agĩkua, nake mũriũ agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, because his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon to Chanun, to comfort him.
Nake Daudi agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwĩka Hanuni mũrũ wa Nahashu maũndũ mega ma ũtugi tondũ ithe nĩanjĩkire maũndũ mega ma ũtugi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Hanuni makamũcakaithie nĩ ũndũ wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ ithe. Rĩrĩa andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Daudi maakinyire kũrĩ Hanuni o kũu bũrũri wa Amoni nĩguo mamũcakaithie-rĩ,
3 And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee in order to search out, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta a Amoni makĩũria Hanuni atĩrĩ, “Ũreciiria Daudi nĩ thoguo aratĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gũgũtũmĩra andũ magũcakaithie? Githĩ andũ ake matiũkĩte kũrĩ we matuĩrie na mathigaane bũrũri nĩguo macooke maũtunyane?”
4 Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle as far as the hip-bone, and sent them away.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hanuni akĩnyiitithia andũ acio a Daudi, akĩmenjithia nderu, nacio nguo ciao igĩtinio irima gatagatĩ ka njikarĩro, na akĩmaingata.
5 And some people went and told David concerning these men. And he sent [persons] to meet them: because the men were greatly ashamed; and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown, and then return.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe aakinyĩirie Daudi ũhoro wa andũ acio-rĩ, Daudi agĩtũma andũ makamatũnge, tondũ andũ acio nĩmaconorithĩtio mũno. Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ikarai kũu Jeriko nginya nderu cianyu ikũre, mũcooke mũũke.”
6 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, Chanun and the children of 'Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves from Mesopotamia, and from Syria-ma'achah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Amoni maamenyire atĩ nĩmatuĩkĩte kĩndũ kĩnungu harĩ Daudi-rĩ, Hanuni na andũ a Amoni makĩneana betha taranda ngiri ĩmwe cia gũkombora ngaari cia ita na atwarithia a cio kuuma Mesopotamia, na Aramu-Maaka, na Zoba.
7 And they hired for themselves thirty and two thousand [warriors in] chariots, and the king of Ma'achah and his people: and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of 'Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to the battle.
Magĩkombora ngaari cia ita ngiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ na igĩrĩ na atwarithia a cio, hamwe na mũthamaki wa Maaka na mbũtũ ciake, arĩa mookire makĩamba hema hakuhĩ na Medeba; hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Amoni nao magĩcookanĩrĩrio kuuma matũũra-inĩ mao, magĩthiĩ kũrũa mbaara.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army [and] the mighty men.
Nake Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩtũma Joabu na ita rĩothe rĩa mbaara.
9 And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
Nao andũ a Amoni makiumagara, makĩarania mbũtũ cia mbaara kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩao inene, nao athamaki arĩa mookĩte mbaara, magĩkorwo maarĩ oiki kũu werũ-inĩ.
10 When now Joab saw that the front of battle was against him before and behind, he made a selection from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians.
Joabu nĩonire atĩ thigari nĩciaranĩtio mbere yake o na thuutha wake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthuura mbũtũ imwe iria njega mũno kũu Isiraeli, agĩcitũma ikarũe na Asuriata.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abshai his brother, and they arrayed themselves against the children of 'Ammon.
Andũ acio angĩ akĩmaiga watho-inĩ wa Abishai mũrũ wa nyina. Nao akĩmatũma makarũe na andũ a Amoni.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of 'Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I help thee.
Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Asuriata mangĩngĩria hinya-rĩ, wee ũũke ũndeithie; no Aamoni mangĩgũkĩria hinya, nĩngagũteithia.
13 Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God, and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes.
Wĩyũmĩrĩrie nĩgeetha tũrũe na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aitũ, na nĩ ũndũ wa matũũra manene ma Ngai witũ. Jehova nĩegwĩka ũrĩa ekuona kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make.”
14 And Joab drew nigh and the people that were with him in front of the Syrians unto the battle, and they fled from before him.
Nake Joabu arĩ na mbũtũ ciake agĩtharĩkĩra Asuriata, nao makĩmũũrĩra.
15 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abshai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab went back to Jerusalem.
Rĩrĩa Aamoni moonire atĩ Asuriata nĩmaroora-rĩ, o nao makĩũrĩra Abishai mũrũ wa nyina magĩtoonya itũũra thĩinĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu agĩcooka Jerusalemu.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
Thuutha wa Asuriata kuona atĩ nĩmatoorio nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, magĩtũma andũ makarehithie Asuriata a kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati matongoretio nĩ Shofaku ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Hadadezeri.
17 And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came up with them, and arrayed himself against them. So when David had arrayed himself against the Syrians [for] battle, they fought with him.
Rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio, agĩcookanĩrĩria ita rĩa Isiraeli rĩothe, makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, nake akĩmakinyĩra na akĩiga mbũtũ ciake imangʼetheire. Daudi akĩhaarĩria mbũtũ ciake nĩguo itũngane na Asuriata acio mbaara-inĩ, nao Asuriata makĩrũa nake.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand men on foot, and Shophach the captain of the army he put to death.
No rĩrĩ, Asuriata makĩũrĩra Isiraeli, nake Daudi akĩũraga atwarithia a ngaari ciao cia ita ngiri mũgwanja, na thigari ciao cia magũrũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩna. Ningĩ akĩũraga Shofaku, mũnene wa mbũtũ ciao.
19 And when the vassals of Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: and the Syrians would not help the children of 'Ammon any more.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndungata cia Hadadezeri cionire atĩ nĩmahootwo nĩ Isiraeli-rĩ, magĩthondeka thayũ na Daudi, nao magĩtuĩka a gwathagwo nĩwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Asuriata matiacookire gwĩtĩkĩra gũteithia Aamoni rĩngĩ.
