1 Chronicles 19
1 And it comes to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dies, and his son reigns in his stead,
Torej po tem se je pripetilo, da je umrl Naháš, kralj Amónovih otrok in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin.
2 and David says, “I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did kindness with me”; and David sends messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come to the land of the sons of Ammon, to Hanun, to comfort him,
David je rekel: »Izkazal bom prijaznost Naháševemu sinu Hanúnu, ker je njegov oče izkazal prijaznost meni.« In David je poslal poslance, da ga potolažijo glede njegovega očeta. Tako so Davidovi služabniki prišli v deželo Amónovih otrok k Hanúnu, da ga potolažijo.
3 and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? Have his servants not come to you in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
Toda princi Amónovih otrok so Hanúnu rekli: »Misliš, da je David spoštoval tvojega očeta, da ti je poslal tolažnike? Mar niso njegovi služabniki prišli k tebi, da preiščejo, preobrnejo in si ogledajo deželo?«
4 And Hanun takes the servants of David and shaves them, and cuts their long robes in the midst, to the buttocks, and sends them away.
Zato je Hanún prijel Davidove služabnike, jih obril in njihove obleke odrezal po sredi, tik poleg njihovih zadnjic in jih odposlal proč.
5 And [some] go and declare to David concerning the men, and he sends to meet them—for the men have been greatly ashamed—and the king says, “Dwell in Jericho until your beard is grown, then you have returned.”
Potem so nekateri odšli in Davidu povedali, kako so bili možje postreženi. In poslal je, da jih sreča, kajti možje so bili silno osramočeni. Kralj je rekel: »Ostanite pri Jerihi, dokler vam brade ne zrastejo, potem se vrnite.«
6 And the sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send one thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Davidu postali zoprni, so Hanún in Amónovi otroci poslali tisoč talentov srebra, da si iz Mezopotamije, iz sirske Maáhe in Cobe najamejo bojne vozove in konjenike.
7 and they hire for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come to the battle.
Tako so najeli dvaintrideset tisoč bojnih vozov, kralja Maáhe in njegovo ljudstvo, ki so prišli in se utaborili pred Médebo. In Amónovi otroci so se zbrali skupaj iz svojih mest in prišli na bitko.
8 And David hears, and sends Joab, and all the host of the mighty men,
Ko je David slišal o tem, je poslal Joába in vso vojsko mogočnih mož.
9 and the sons of Ammon come out and set in array [for] battle at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] by themselves in the field.
Amónovi otroci so prišli ven in se pred velikimi vrati mesta postrojili v bitko. Kralji, ki so prišli, pa so bili posebej na polju.
10 And Joab sees that the front of the battle has been to him, before and behind, and he chooses out of all the choice in Israel, and sets in array to meet Aram,
Torej ko je Joáb videl, da je bila bitka zoper njega postavljena spredaj in zadaj, je izmed vseh izbral izbrane Izraelove in jih postrojil zoper Sirce.
11 and he has given the remnant of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and they set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
Preostanek ljudstva pa je izročil v roko svojega brata Abišája, in ti so se postrojili zoper Amónove otroke.
12 And he says, “If Aram is stronger than me, then you have been for salvation to me; and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I have saved you;
Rekel je: »Če bodo Sirci zame premočni, potem mi boš ti pomagal, toda če bodo Amónovi otroci premočni zate, potem bom jaz pomagal tebi.
13 be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and YHWH does that which is good in His eyes.”
Bodi odločnega poguma in se junaško obnašajva za naše ljudstvo in za mesta našega Boga. Gospod pa naj stori to, kar je dobro v njegovem pogledu.«
14 And Joab draws near, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
Tako se je Joáb in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, približalo pred Sirce k bitki, ti pa so pobegnili pred njim.
15 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram has fled, and they flee—they also—from the face of his brother Abishai, and go into the city. And Joab comes to Jerusalem.
Ko so Amónovi otroci videli, da so Sirci pobegnili, so tudi sami pobegnili pred njegovim bratom Abišájem in vstopili v mesto. Potem je Joáb prišel v Jeruzalem.
16 And Aram sees that they have been struck before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] before them.
Ko pa so Sirci videli, da so bili pred Izraelom poraženi, so poslali poslance in pripeljali Sirce, ki so bili onkraj reke; in Šopáh, poveljnik Hadarézerjeve vojske, je šel pred njimi.
17 And it is declared to David, and he gathers all Israel, and passes over the Jordan, and comes to them, and sets in array against them; indeed, David sets in array [for] battle to meet Aram, and they fight with him;
To je bilo povedano Davidu in ta je zbral ves Izrael, prečkal Jordan in prišel nadnje in se postrojil v bitko zoper njih. Torej, ko se je David postrojil v bitko zoper Sirce, so se ti bojevali z njim.
18 and Aram flees from the face of Israel, and David slays seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen of Aram, and he has put Shophach head of the host to death.
Toda Sirci so zbežali pred Izraelom in David jih je izmed Sircev usmrtil sedem tisoč mož, ki so se bojevali na bojnih vozovih in štirideset tisoč pešcev in ubil poveljnika vojske Šopáha.
19 And the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been struck before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram has not been willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
Ko so Hadarézerjevi služabniki videli, da so bili pred Izraelom poraženi, so z Davidom sklenili mir in postali njegovi služabniki; niti Sirci niso hoteli več pomagati Amónovim otrokom.
