1 Chronicles 19
1 And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio-rĩ, Nahashu mũthamaki wa Aamoni agĩkua, nake mũriũ agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, 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 But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, 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 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 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 Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have 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 When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
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 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to 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 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
Nake Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩtũma Joabu na ita rĩothe rĩa mbaara.
9 The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had 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 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
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 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
Andũ acio angĩ akĩmaiga watho-inĩ wa Abishai mũrũ wa nyina. Nao akĩmatũma makarũe na andũ a Amoni.
12 He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Asuriata mangĩngĩria hinya-rĩ, wee ũũke ũndeithie; no Aamoni mangĩgũkĩria hinya, nĩngagũteithia.
13 Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
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 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
Nake Joabu arĩ na mbũtũ ciake agĩtharĩkĩra Asuriata, nao makĩmũũrĩra.
15 When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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 When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, 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 The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
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 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people 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.
