1 Chronicles 19
1 And it was after thus and he died Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned son his in place of him.
Så hendte det at Nahas, Ammons barns konge, døde, og hans sønn blev konge i hans sted.
2 And he said David I will do loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash for he did father his with me loyalty and he sent David messengers to comfort him on father his and they came [the] servants of David into [the] land of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
Da sa David: Jeg vil vise Hanun, Nahas' sønn, vennskap, for hans far viste mig vennskap. Og David sendte bud for å trøste ham i hans sorg over faren. Så kom da Davids tjenere til Ammons barns land, til Hanun for å trøste ham.
3 And they said [the] officials of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun ¿ [is] honoring David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore and to overthrow and to spy out the land have they come servants his to you.
Da sa Ammons barns høvdinger til Hanun: Tror du det er for å ære din far at David har sendt folk som skal trøste dig? Mon det ikke heller er for å utforske og ødelegge og utspeide landet at hans tjenere er kommet til dig?
4 And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved them and he cut off robes their in the middle to the buttock[s] and he sent away them.
Da tok Hanun Davids tjenere og lot dem rake og skar av deres klær midt på like til setet og lot dem så fare.
5 And people went and they told to David on the men and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated exceedingly and he said the king remain at Jericho until that it will grow back beard your and you will return.
Og det kom nogen og meldte David hvad som hadde hendt hans menn; da sendte han folk som skulde møte dem; for de var grovelig vanæret; og kongen lot si: Bli i Jeriko til eders skjegg er vokset ut igjen, og kom så tilbake!
6 And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and he sent Hanun and [the] people of Ammon one thousand talent[s] of silver to hire for themselves from Aram Naharaim and from Aram Maacah and from Zobah chariotry and horsemen.
Da nu Ammons barn så at de hadde gjort sig forhatt hos David, sendte Hanun og Ammons barn tusen talenter sølv for å leie sig vogner og hestfolk fra Mesopotamia og fra syrerne i Ma'aka og fra Soba.
7 And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariot[s] and [the] king of Maacah and people his and they came and they encamped before Medeba and [the] people of Ammon they gathered from cities their and they came for battle.
Så leide de sig da to og tretti tusen vogner og kongen i Ma'aka og hans folk, og de kom og leiret sig foran Medba; men også Ammons barn samlet sig fra sine byer og drog ut til strid.
8 And he heard David and he sent Joab and all [the] army the warriors.
Da David hørte dette, sendte han Joab avsted med hele hæren, de krigsvante menn.
9 And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the city and the kings who they had come to alone them [were] in the open country.
Og Ammons barn rykket ut og stilte sig i fylking foran inngangen til byen; men kongene som var kommet dit, stod for sig selv på marken.
10 And he saw Joab that it was [the] face of the battle against him face and back and he chose from every chosen [man] in Israel and he deployed to meet Aram.
Da Joab så at han hadde fienden mot sig både foran og bak, valgte han ut en del av alt det utvalgte mannskap i Israel og stilte dem op mot syrerne.
11 And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and they deployed to meet [the] people of Ammon.
Men resten av folket overgav han til sin bror Absai, og de stilte sig i fylking mot Ammons barn.
12 And he said if it will be [too] strong for me Aram and you will become for me deliverance. And if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will deliver you.
Og han sa: Dersom syrerne blir mig for sterke, skal du komme mig til hjelp, og dersom Ammons barn blir dig for sterke, skal jeg hjelpe dig.
13 Be strong so let us show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh the good in view his he will do.
Vær modig, og la oss vise oss modige for vårt folk og for var Guds byer, så lar Herren gjøre hvad. godt er i hans øine!
14 And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him before Aram for battle and they fled from before him.
Så rykket Joab frem med sine folk til strid mot syrerne, og de flyktet for ham.
15 And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled also they from before Abishai brother his and they went the city towards and he went Joab Jerusalem.
Og da Ammons barn så at syrerne flyktet, så flyktet også de for hans bror Absai og drog sig inn i byen. Da drog Joab tilbake til Jerusalem.
16 And it saw Aram that they had been defeated before Israel and they sent messengers and they brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the river and Shophach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.
Da syrerne så at de var blitt slått av Israel, sendte de bud at de syrere som bodde på hin side av elven, skulde dra ut; og Sofak, høvdingen over Hadaresers hær, førte dem.
17 And it was told to David and he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came to them and he deployed against them and he deployed David to meet Aram battle and they fought with him.
Da dette blev meldt David, samlet han hele Israel og gikk over Jordan, og da han kom frem til dem, stilte han sig op imot dem - han fylket sin hær mot syrerne, og de stred mot ham.
18 And it fled Aram from to before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven thousand charioteer[s] and forty thousand man on foot and Shophach [the] commander of the army he killed.
Men syrerne flyktet for Israel, og David drepte blandt syrerne mannskapet på syv tusen vogner og firti tusen mann fotfolk; også hærføreren Sofak drepte han.
19 And they saw [the] servants of Hadadezer that they had been defeated before Israel and they made peace with David and they served him and not it was willing Aram to deliver [the] people of Ammon again.
Da Hadaresers menn så at de var blitt slått av Israel, gjorde de fred med David og blev hans tjenere; og syrerne vilde ikke mere hjelpe Ammons barn.
