1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass, after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon died, —and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Nahash eze ndị Amọn nwụrụ, nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 Then said David—I will show lovingkindness unto Hanun, son of Nahash, —for his father shewed unto me lovingkindness. So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father, —and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, to console him.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid chere sị, “Aga m egosi Hanọn nwa Nahash obi ebere nʼihi na nna ya gosiri m obi ebere.” Ya mere, Devid zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa kasịe ya obi nʼihi ọnwụ nna ya. Mgbe ndị ozi Devid bịakwutere Hanọn nʼala ndị Amọn ịkasị ya obi,
3 Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, Doth David honour thy father in thine eyes, that he hath sent to thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring and overthrowing, and spying out the land, that his servants have come to thee?
ndịisi ala Amọn sịrị Hanọn, bụ onyenwe ha, “Ị na-eche na Devid na-akwanyere nna gị ụgwụ site na izite ndị ozi ya ka ha bịa kasịe gị obi? Ọ bụ na ndị ozi ya abịakwuteghị gị, naanị ka ha mee nledo, nyochapụta otu obodo a dị ma kwatuo ya?”
4 So Hanun took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their parts of shame, —and let them go.
Nʼihi nke a, Hanọn jidere ndị ozi Devid nʼike, kpụchapụ ha ajị, bipụkwa uwe mwụda ha nʼetiti ike ha, zilaga ha.
5 And people went and told David, concerning the men, so he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed, —and the king said—Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, and then return.
Mgbe otu onye bịara zie Devid ihe banyere ndị ikom ahụ, o zipụrụ ndị ozi, ka ha gaa zute ha, nʼihi na e mere ha ihe ihere nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu. Eze sịrị, “Nọdụnụ na Jeriko tutu ruo mgbe afụọnụ unu tolitere, mgbe ahụ unu ga-alọta.”
6 And, when the sons of Ammon saw, that they had made themselves odious with David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves—out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah, —chariots, and horsemen.
Ma mgbe ndị Amọn chọpụtara na ha abụrụla ihe ịsọ oyi nʼebe Devid nọ, Hanọn na ndị Amọn zipụrụ otu puku talenti ọlaọcha iji gbazite ụgbọ agha na ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha site na Aram Naharaim, na Aram Maaka, nakwa Zoba.
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah, and his people, who came and pitched before Medeba, —and the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and entered into the war.
Ha goro ụgbọ agha ọnụọgụgụ ya dị iri puku atọ, na puku abụọ. Ha gokwara eze Maaka na ndị agha ya, ndị bịara maa ụlọ ikwu agha ha na nso Medeba, ebe ndị Amọn sikwa nʼobodo ha niile chịkọta onwe ha pụta ịlụ agha.
8 Now, when David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes.
Mgbe Devid nụrụ nke a, o zipụrụ Joab na ndị agha ya niile bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha.
9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for the battle, at the opening of the city, —whereas, the kings who had come, were by themselves, in the field.
Ndị Amọn pụtara doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ha. Ma ndị eze ahụ bịara agha, nọpụrụ onwe ha na mbara ala.
10 So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind, —he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians;
Mgbe Joab hụrụ na agha dị megide ya nʼihu na azụ, ọ họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ọkachamara site nʼetiti ndị agha Izrel, doo ha nʼusoro izute ndị Aram.
11 and, the rest of the people, delivered he into the hand of Abishai his brother, —and they set in array, to meet the sons of Ammon.
O tinyere ndị ikom fọdụrụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Abishai, nwanne ya, e zipụrụ ha izute ndị Amọn nʼagha.
12 And he said—If, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help, —but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee.
Mgbe Abishai na-apụ, Joab gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị Aram esie ike karịa m, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-abịa napụta m. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ndị Amọn adịrị ike karịa gị, aga m abịa napụta gị.
13 Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, —and let, Yahweh, do, what is good in his own eyes.
Nwee obi ike, ka anyị lụọ ọgụ a dịka ndị dị ike, nʼihi ndị anyị na obodo niile nke Chineke anyị. Ka Onyenwe anyị meekwa ihe dị mma nʼanya ya.”
14 Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, —and they fled from before him.
Mgbe ahụ, Joab na ndị agha so ya bịara nso ibuso ndị Aram agha, ha sitere nʼihu ha gbapụ ọsọ.
15 And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled, they also, from before Abishai his brother, and entered the city, —and Joab came to Jerusalem.
Mgbe ndị Amọn hụrụ ka ndị Aram na-agbapụ ọsọ, ha onwe ha gbakwaara ọsọ nʼihu Abishai, gbaba nʼime obodo. Ya mere, Joab laghachiri na Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated before Israel, then sent they messengers, and brought out the Syrians who were Beyond the River, —with Shophach captain of the army of Hadarezer, before them.
Ma mgbe ndị Aram hụrụ na ndị Izrel tigburu ha, ha zipụrụ ndị ozi gara kpọta ndị Aram site nʼofe ọzọ nke Osimiri Yufretis. Ọ bụ Shofaka ọchịagha ndị agha Hadadeza na-edu ha.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and crossed the Jordan, and came unto them, and set in array against them, —and, when David had set in array against the Syrians for battle, they fought with him.
Mgbe a gwara Devid banyere nke a, ọ chịkọtara ndị Izrel niile, pụọ gafee Jọdan. O gara nso imegide ha, o doro usoro agha ya na ncherita ihu ha. Devid doro usoro ndị agha ya izute ndị Aram nʼagha, ha lụsokwara ya agha.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, —and, Shophach captain of the army, he put to death.
Ma ha sitere nʼihu ndị Izrel gbaa ọsọ. Devid gburu puku asaa nʼime ndị ikom na-anya ụgbọ agha, gbukwaa iri puku ndị agha anọ ndị na-eji ụkwụ eje. O gbukwara Shofaka, bụ ọchịagha agha ha.
19 And, when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David and served him, —neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
Mgbe ndị eze niile nọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Hadadeza hụrụ na Izrel etigbuola ha, ha mere ka ha na Devid dịrị nʼudo, bụrụkwa ndị nọ nʼokpuru ya. Ya mere, ndị Aram adịghịkwa njikere inyere ụmụ Amọn aka ọzọ.
