1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
След това, царят на амонците, Наас, умря, и вместо него се възцари син му Анун.
2 [When] David [heard about that, he] thought [to himself], “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that he was sorry to hear that Hanun’s father [had died]. But when David’s officials came to Hanun in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
Тогава Давид каза: Ще покажа благост към Ануна Наасовия син, понеже баща му показа благост към мене. И така, Давид прати посланици да го утешат за баща му. А когато Давидовите слуги дойдоха при Ануна в земята на амонците за да го утешат,
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is really to honor your father that King David is sending these men to say that he is sorry that your father died? [We think that] his men have come to (look around/spy) our city in order to determine how his [army] can conquer us.”
първенците на амонците рекоха на Ануна: Мислиш ли, че от почит към баща ти, Давид ти е изпратил утешители? Не дойдоха ли слугите му при тебе за да разузнаят да разорят и да съгледат земята?
4 Hanun [believed what they said, so he commanded some soldiers to] seize the officials whom David had sent, and shave off their beards, and [insult them by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, and then send them away. [So his soldiers did that].
Затова, Анун хвана Давидовите слуги та ги обръсна, отряза дрехите им до половина - до бедрата им, и ги отпрати.
5 The officials were greatly humiliated/ashamed. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent some messengers to them to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
И някои отидоха та известиха на Давида за стореното на мъжете; и той изпрати човеци да ги посрещнат, (понеже мъжете се крайно срамуваха), и да им рекат от царя: Седете в Ерихон, догде пораснат брадите ви, и тогава се върнете.
6 Then the [leaders of the] Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David. So Hanun and some of his officials sent about (37,000 pounds/34,000 kg.) of silver to hire chariots and chariot-drivers from [the] Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Maacah and Zobah [regions of Syria northeast of Israel].
А като видяха амонците, че бяха станали омразни на Давида, Анун и амонците пратиха хиляда таланта сребро за да си наемат колесници и конници от Месопотамия, от Сириямаах и от Сова.
7 They hired 32,000 chariots and chariot-drivers, as well as the king of [the] Maacah [region] and his army. They came and set up their tents near Medeba [town in Moab region]. The soldiers from the Ammon people-group also marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) [at the entrance to their capital city, Rabbah].
И наеха си тридесет и две хиляди колесници, също и царя на Мааха с людете му, които дойдоха та разположиха стан срещу Медева. И амонците, като се събраха от градовете си, дойдоха да воюват.
8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
И когато чу това Давид, прати Иоава и цялото множество силни мъже.
9 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group came out of their city and lined up for battle at the entrance to [their capital city, Rabbah]. Meanwhile, the other kings who had come [with their armies] stood in their positions in the open fields.
А амонците излязоха та се строиха за бой при градската порта; а надошлите царе бяха отделно на полето.
10 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he selected some of the best Israeli troops and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
А Иоав, като видя, че бяха се строили за бой против него отпред и отзад, избра между всичките отбрани Израилеви мъже, та ги опълчи против сирийците;
11 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of his other soldiers and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
а останалите люде даде в ръката на брата си Ависея; и те се опълчиха против амонците.
12 Joab said to them, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, then your soldiers must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat them, then my soldiers will come and help your men.
И рече: ако сирийците надделеят над мене, тогава ти ще ми помогнеш; а ако амонците надделеят над тебе, тогава аз ще ти помогна.
13 We must be strong/courageous, and fight hard to [defend] our people and our cities (that belong to/where we worship) our God. I will pray that Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”
Дързай, и нека бъдем мъжествени за людете си и за градовете на нашия Бог; а Господ нека извърши каквото Му се вижда угодно.
14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
И тъй, Иоав и людете, които бяха с него, стъпиха в сражение против сирийците; и те побягнаха пред него.
15 And when the soldiers of the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
А когато амонците видяха, че сирийците побягнаха, тогава и те побягнаха пред брата му Ависей и влязоха в града. Тогава Иоав си дойде в Ерусалим.
16 After [the leaders of the army of] Syria realized that they had been defeated by [the army of] Israel, they sent messengers to [another part of Syria on] the east side of the [Euphrates] river, and brought troops from there [to the battle area], with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.
А сирийците, като видяха, че бидоха победени пред Израиля, пратиха посланици да изведат сирийците, които бяха оттатък реката Евфрат, със Совака, военачалника на Ададезера, на чело.
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River]. They advanced and took their battle positions to attack the army of Syria.
И когато се извести на Давида, той събра целият Израил, и като премина Иордан, дойде до тях и се опълчи против тях. И тъй, като се опълчи Давид на бой против сирийците, те се биха с него.
18 But the army of Syria ran away from the soldiers of Israel. However, David’s soldiers killed 7,000 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also killed Shophach, their army commander.
Но сирийците побягнаха пред Израиля; и Давид изби от сирийците мъжете на седем хиляди колесници и четиридесет хиляди пешаци; уби и военачалника Совак.
19 When the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli army, they made peace with David, and agreed to allow him to rule them. So the rulers of Syria did not want to help the rulers of the Ammon people-group any more.
И слугите на Ададезера, като видяха, че бяха победени от Израиля, сключиха мир с Давида и му се подчиниха. И сирийците отказаха да помагат вече на амонците.
