2 Samuel 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and Chanun his son reigned in his stead.
Potem se je pripetilo, da je umrl kralj Amónovih otrok in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Hanún.
2 Then said David, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, as his father showed me kindness. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon.
Potem je David rekel: »Prijaznost bom izkazal Naháševemu sinu Hanúnu, kot je njegov oče izkazal prijaznost meni.« In David je poslal, da ga potolaži po roki svojih služabnikov, zaradi njegovega očeta. In Davidovi služabniki so prišli v deželo Amónovih otrok.
3 And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun their Lord, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee! hath David not sent his servants unto thee, in order to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
Princi Amónovih otrok pa so rekli svojemu gospodarju Hanúnu: »Misliš, da David spoštuje tvojega očeta, da je k tebi poslal tolažnike? Ali ni David raje svojih služabnikov poslal k tebi, da bi preiskal mesto, vohunil in da ga zruši?«
4 Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved off the one-half of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Zato je Hanún vzel Davidove služabnike, jim pobril eno polovico njihovih brad in njihove obleke odrezal po sredi, celó do njihovih zadnjic in jih poslal proč.
5 When they told it unto David, 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.
Ko so to povedali Davidu, je poslal, da jih sreča, ker so bili možje silno osramočeni. Kralj je rekel: »Ostanite pri Jerihi, dokler vam brade ne zrastejo in potem se vrnite.«
6 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, the children of 'Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rechob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand men on foot, and the king of Ma'achah with a thousand men, and of the people of Tob twelve thousand men.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so se usmradili pred Davidom, so Amónovi otroci poslali in najeli Sirce iz Bet Rehóba, Sirce iz Cobe, dvajset tisoč pešcev in od kralja Maáhe tisoč mož in iz Toba dvanajst tisoč mož.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army, [and] the mighty men.
Ko je David slišal o tem, je poslal Joába in vso vojsko mogočnih mož.
8 And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle-array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rechob, and the people of Tob and Ma'achah, were by themselves in the field.
Amónovi otroci so prišli ven in se postrojili v bitko ob vhodu velikih vrat. Sirci iz Cobe, iz Rehóba, Toba in Maáhe pa so bili posebej na polju.
9 When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians:
Ko je Joáb videl, da je bilo čelo bitke zoper njega spredaj in zadaj, je izbral izmed vseh izbranih Izraelovih mož in jih postrojil zoper Sirce.
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, who arrayed himself against the children of 'Ammon.
Preostanek ljudstva pa je izročil v roko svojega brata Abišája, da bi jih lahko postrojil zoper Amónove otroke.
11 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 go to help thee.
Rekel je: »Če bodo Sirci zame premočni, potem boš ti pomagal meni, toda če bodo Amónovi otroci premočni zate, potem bom prišel in ti pomagal.
12 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.
Bodi odločnega poguma in bodimo možje za naše ljudstvo in za mesta našega Boga, Gospod pa naj stori to, kar se mu zdi dobro.«
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled from before him.
Joáb se je približal in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, k bitki zoper Sirce in ti so pobegnili pred njim.
14 And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abishai, and entered into the city. Joab then returned from the children of 'Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Sirci pobegnili, potem so tudi sami pobegnili pred Abišájem in vstopili v mesto. Tako se je Joáb vrnil od Amónovih otrok in prišel v Jeruzalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves altogether.
Ko so Sirci videli, da so bili udarjeni pred Izraelom, so se zbrali skupaj.
16 And Hadar'ezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river, and they came to Chelam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
Hadarézer je poslal in privedel ven Sirce, ki so bili onkraj reke in prišli so do Heláma in Šobáh, poveljnik Hadarézerjeve vojske, je šel pred njimi.
17 And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Chelam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle-array against David, and fought with him.
Ko je bilo to povedano Davidu, je zbral skupaj ves Izrael in prečkal Jordan ter prišel k Helámu. Sirci pa so se postrojili zoper Davida in se borili z njim.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men] of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen; and Shobach also the captain of their army he smote, and he died there.
In Sirci so pobegnili pred Izraelom, in David je usmrtil sedemsto mož sirskih bojnih vozov in štirideset tisoč konjenikov in udaril Šobáha, poveljnika njihove vojske, ki je tam umrl.
19 And when all the kings, the vassals to Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them: and the Syrians feared to help the children of 'Ammon any more.
Ko so vsi kralji, ki so bili Hadarézerjevi služabniki, videli, da so bili udarjeni pred Izraelom, so z Izraelom sklenili mir in jim služili. Tako so se Sirci bali, da bi še pomagali Amónovim otrokom.
