< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 And it was after thus and he died [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned Hanun son his in place his.
此後,亞捫人的王死了,他兒子哈嫩接續他作王。
2 And he said David I will do covenant loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash just as he did father his with me covenant loyalty and he sent David to comfort him by [the] hand of servants his concerning father his and they came [the] servants of David [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.
大衛說:「我要照哈嫩的父親拿轄厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。」於是大衛差遣臣僕,為他喪父安慰他。大衛的臣僕到了亞捫人的境內。
3 And they said [the] leaders of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun lord their ¿ honoring [is] David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore the city and to spy on it and to overthrow it has he sent David servants his to you.
但亞捫人的首領對他們的主哈嫩說:「大衛差人來安慰你,你想他是尊敬你父親嗎?他差臣僕來不是詳察窺探、要傾覆這城嗎?」
4 And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved half of beard their and he cut off robes their at the middle to buttocks their and he sent away them.
哈嫩便將大衛臣僕的鬍鬚剃去一半,又割斷他們下半截的衣服,使他們露出下體,打發他們回去。
5 And people told to David and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated very and he said the king remain at Jericho until it will grow back beard your and you will return.
有人告訴大衛,他就差人去迎接他們,(因為他們甚覺羞恥),告訴他們說:「可以住在耶利哥,等到鬍鬚長起再回來。」
6 And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and they sent [the] people of Ammon and they hired Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah twenty thousand foot soldier[s] and [the] king of Maacah one thousand man and [the] man of Tob two [plus] ten thousand man.
亞捫人知道大衛憎惡他們,就打發人去,招募伯‧利合的亞蘭人和瑣巴的亞蘭人,步兵二萬,與瑪迦王的人一千、陀伯人一萬二千。
7 And he heard David and he sent Joab and all the army the warriors.
大衛聽見了,就差派約押統帶勇猛的全軍出去。
8 And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the gate and Aram Zobah and Rehob and [the] man of Tob and Maacah to alone them [were] in the open country.
亞捫人出來,在城門前擺陣;瑣巴與利合的亞蘭人、陀伯人,並瑪迦人,另在郊野擺陣。
9 And he saw Joab that it was against him [the] face of the battle from before and from behind and he chose some of all [the] chosen [men] (of Israel *Q(K)*) and he deployed [them] to meet Aram.
約押看見敵人在他前後擺陣,就從以色列軍中挑選精兵,使他們對着亞蘭人擺陣。
10 And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and he deployed [them] to meet [the] people of Ammon.
其餘的兵交與他兄弟亞比篩,對着亞捫人擺陣。
11 And he said if it will be [too] strong Aram for me and you will become of me deliverance and if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will come to deliver you.
約押對亞比篩說:「亞蘭人若強過我,你就來幫助我;亞捫人若強過你,我就去幫助你。
12 Be strong so we may show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh he will do the good in view his.
我們都當剛強,為本國的民和上帝的城邑作大丈夫。願耶和華憑他的意旨而行!」
13 And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him for battle in Aram and they fled from before him.
於是,約押和跟隨他的人前進攻打亞蘭人;亞蘭人在約押面前逃跑。
14 And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled from before Abishai and they went the city and he returned Joab from on [the] people of Ammon and he came Jerusalem.
亞捫人見亞蘭人逃跑,他們也在亞比篩面前逃跑進城。約押就離開亞捫人那裏,回耶路撒冷去了。
15 And it saw Aram that it was defeated before Israel and they gathered themselves together.
亞蘭人見自己被以色列人打敗,就又聚集。
16 And he sent Hadadezer and he brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the River and they came Helam and Shobach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.
哈大底謝差遣人,將大河那邊的亞蘭人調來;他們到了希蘭,哈大底謝的將軍朔法率領他們。
17 And it was told to David. And he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came Helam towards and they deployed Aram to meet David and they did battle with him.
有人告訴大衛,他就聚集以色列眾人,過約旦河,來到希蘭。亞蘭人迎着大衛擺陣,與他打仗。
18 And it fled Aram from before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven hundred charioteer[s] and forty thousand horsemen and Shobach [the] commander of army its he struck down and he died there.
亞蘭人在以色列人面前逃跑;大衛殺了亞蘭七百輛戰車的人,四萬馬兵,又殺了亞蘭的將軍朔法。
19 And they saw all the kings [the] servants of Hadadezer that they were defeated before Israel and they made peace with Israel and they served them and they were afraid Aram to deliver again [the] people of Ammon.
屬哈大底謝的諸王見自己被以色列人打敗,就與以色列人和好,歸服他們。於是亞蘭人不敢再幫助亞捫人了。
