2 Samuel 10
1 And it comes to pass afterward, that the king of the sons of Ammon dies, and his son Hanun reigns in his stead,
此后，亚扪人的王死了，他儿子哈嫩接续他作王。
2 and David says, “I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did kindness with me”; and David sends to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come into the land of the sons of Ammon.
大卫说：“我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。”于是大卫差遣臣仆，为他丧父安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内。
3 And the heads of the sons of Ammon say to their lord Hanun, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? For has David not sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it?”
但亚扪人的首领对他们的主哈嫩说：“大卫差人来安慰你，你想他是尊敬你父亲吗？他差臣仆来不是详察窥探、要倾覆这城吗？”
4 And Hanun takes the servants of David, and shaves off the half of their beard, and cuts off their long robes in the midst—to their buttocks, and sends them away;
哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半，又割断他们下半截的衣服，使他们露出下体，打发他们回去。
5 and they declare [it] to David, and he sends to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king says, “Abide in Jericho until your beard springs up—then you have returned.”
有人告诉大卫，他就差人去迎接他们，（因为他们甚觉羞耻），告诉他们说：“可以住在耶利哥，等到胡须长起再回来。”
6 And the sons of Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the sons of Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] one thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men;
亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们，就打发人去，招募伯·利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人，步兵二万，与玛迦王的人一千、陀伯人一万二千。
7 and David hears, and sends Joab, and all the host—the mighty men.
大卫听见了，就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去。
8 And the sons of Ammon come out, and set in array [for] battle, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] by themselves in the field;
亚扪人出来，在城门前摆阵；琐巴与利合的亚兰人、陀伯人，并玛迦人，另在郊野摆阵。
9 and Joab sees that the front of the battle has been to him before and behind, and he chooses [out] of all the chosen in Israel, and sets in array to meet Aram,
约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵，就从以色列军中挑选精兵，使他们对着亚兰人摆阵。
10 and he has given the rest of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and sets in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
其余的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛，对着亚扪人摆阵。
11 And he says, “If Aram is stronger than I, then you have been for salvation to me, and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I have come to give salvation to you;
约押对亚比筛说：“亚兰人若强过我，你就来帮助我；亚扪人若强过你，我就去帮助你。
12 be strong and strengthen yourself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and YHWH does that which is good in His eyes.”
我们都当刚强，为本国的民和 神的城邑作大丈夫。愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行！”
13 And Joab draws near, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
于是，约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人；亚兰人在约押面前逃跑。
14 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram has fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go into the city; and Joab turns back from the sons of Ammon, and comes to Jerusalem.
亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑，他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑进城。约押就离开亚扪人那里，回耶路撒冷去了。
15 And Aram sees that it is struck before Israel, and they are gathered together;
亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败，就又聚集。
16 and Hadadezer sends, and brings out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come to Helam, and Shobach, head of the host of Hadadezer, [is] before them.
哈大底谢差遣人，将大河那边的亚兰人调来；他们到了希兰，哈大底谢的将军朔法率领他们。
17 And it is declared to David, and he gathers all Israel, and passes over the Jordan, and comes to Helam, and Aram sets itself in array to meet David, and they fight with him;
有人告诉大卫，他就聚集以色列众人，过约旦河，来到希兰。亚兰人迎着大卫摆阵，与他打仗。
18 and Aram flees from the presence of Israel, and David slays seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of Aram, and he has struck Shobach, [the] head of its host, and he dies there.
亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑；大卫杀了亚兰七百辆战车的人，四万马兵，又杀了亚兰的将军朔法。
19 And all the kings—servants of Hadadezer—see that they have been struck before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
属哈大底谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败，就与以色列人和好，归服他们。于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了。
