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.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, i zakralji mu se sin na njegovo mjesto.
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.
David reče u sebi: “Iskazat ću ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu jer je i njegov otac iskazao milost meni.” David uputi poslanike da mu izraze sućut zbog smrti njegova oca. Kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca k Hanunu da mu izraze sućut,
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?"
rekoše knezovi Amonaca Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nisu li zato došle njegove sluge k tebi da razvide, istraže i uhode zemlju?”
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.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge i obrija ih, podreza im haljine dopola, do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag!
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."
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su bili vrlo osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada pa se onda vratite.”
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.
Kad su Amonovi sinovi vidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslao je Hanun s Amonovim sinovima tisuću srebrnih talenata da za plaću najme bojnih kola i konjanika iz Aram Naharajima, iz Aram Maake i iz Soba.
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.
Najmili su za plaću trideset i dvije tisuće bojnih kola, i kralja Maake s njegovim narodom te su oni došli i utaborili se pred Medebom. Amonovi su se sinovi skupili iz svojih gradova i došli u boj.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
Kad je to čuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom svojom junačkom vojskom.
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.
Amonovi sinovi iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima; a kraljevi koji su došli stajali su zasebno na polju.
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.
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi, sprijeda i straga, Joab probra najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
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.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
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.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako li Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
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."
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
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.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred njegova brata Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada se Joab vrati u Jeruzalem.
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.
A Aramejci, vidjevši gdje su ih potukli Izraelci, uputili su poslanike i doveli Aramejce što su s onu stranu Rijeke, na čelu sa Šofakom, vojvodom Hadadezerove vojske.
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.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, primače se Aramejcima i svrsta se prema njima; kad se David svrstao prema Aramejcima u bojni red, oni zametnuše s njime boj.
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.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam tisuća konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubio je i vojvodu Šofaka.
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.
Kad Hadadezerove sluge vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Davidom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
