1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned 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 said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children 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 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for 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 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.
Zato je Hanún prijel Davidove služabnike, jih obril in njihove obleke odrezal po sredi, tik poleg njihovih zadnjic in jih odposlal proč.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
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 when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
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 So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cites, and came to 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 when David heard of it, he sent 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 children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were 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 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 Syrians.
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 the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Preostanek ljudstva pa je izročil v roko svojega brata Abišája, in ti so se postrojili zoper Amónove otroke.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
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 of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
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 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
Tako se je Joáb in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, približalo pred Sirce k bitki, ti pa so pobegnili pred njim.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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 when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
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 was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought 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 the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
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 when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
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.
