1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
Napasamak daytoy iti saan a nabayag kalpasan a natay ni Naas nga ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket ti putotna a lalaki ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
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,
Kinuna ni David, “Pakitaak iti kinaimbag ni Hanun a putot ni Naas, gapu ta pinakitaannak iti kinasayaat ti amana.” Isu a nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero a mangliwliwa kenkuana maipapan iti amana. Simrek dagiti adipen ni David iti daga dagiti Ammonita ket nagturongda kenni Hanun tapno liwliwaenda isuna.
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.”
Ngem kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo ti Ammon kenni Hanun, “Pagarupem kadi a padpadayawan ni David ti amam gapu iti panangibaonna kadagiti lallaki a mangliwliwa kenka? Saan kadi nga immay dagiti adipenna kenka tapno agdakiwas ken agsukimatda iti daga tapno sakupenda daytoy?”
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].
Tiniliw ngarud ni Hanun dagiti adipen ni David, binarbasanna ida, pinutedna dagiti pagan-anayda nga agpatingga iti siketda, a dumanon kadagiti patongda ket pinagawidna ida.
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.”
Idi impalawagda daytoy kenni David, nangibaon isuna iti mangkita kadakuada, ta kasta unay ti bain dagiti lallaki. Kinuna ti ari, “Agtalinaedkayo idiayJerico agingga nga agtubo dagiti barbasyo, kalpasanna, agsublikayo.”
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].
Idi naamiris dagiti Ammonita a nadadaeldan kenni David, nangipatulod ni Hanun ken dagiti Ammonita iti sangaribu a talento ti pirak a pangabangda kadagiti karuahe dagiti Arameo ken kadagiti kumakabalio manipud iti Naharaim, Maaca ken Soba.
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].
Inabanganda dagiti tallopulo ket dua a ribu a karuaheda agraman ti ari ti Maaca ken dagiti tattaona a dimteng a nagkampo iti asideg ti Medeba. Naguummong dagiti Ammonita manipud kadagiti siudadda ket rimmuarda tapno makigubat.
8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
Idi nadamag ni David daytoy, imbaonna ni Joab ken ti sibubukel nga armadana a mangsabat kadakuada.
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.
Rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Ammon ken nagsaganada iti ruangan ti siudad a makigubat, bayat a dagiti ari nga immay ket addada iti away.
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.
Idi nakita ni Joab nga agpada a dumarup kenkuana dagiti nakasagana a makigubat iti sangoanan ken likudanna, pinilina dagiti sumagmamano a kalaingan a mannakigubat ti Israel ket pinagpuestona ida maibusor kadagiti taga-Aram.
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.
Bayat nga impaidauloanna iti kabsatna a ni Abisai dagiti nabati nga armada ket pinagsaganana ida a makigubat kadagiti armada ti Ammon.
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.
Kinuna ni Joab, “No napigpigsa dagiti Arameo ngem kadakami, masapul ngarud a tulongannak, Abisai. Ngem no napigpigsa dagiti tattao ti Ammon ngem kadakayo, umayakto ngarud ket ispalenka.
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.”
Tumuredka, ket ipakitatayo a naturedtayo para kadagiti tattaotayo ken para kadagiti siudad ti Diostayo, ta aramidento ni Yahweh no ania ti nasayaat para iti panggepna.”
14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Dimmarup ngarud ni Joab ken dagiti soldadona tapno makigubat kadagiti Arameo, a kapilitan a naglibas iti sangoanan ti armada ti Israel.
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.
Idi nakita ti armada ti Ammon a naglibas dagiti Arameo, linibasanda met ni Abisai a kabsat ni Joab ket nagsublida iti siudad. Kalpasanna, pinanawan ni Joab dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
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.
Ket idi nakita dagiti Arameo a naparmek idan ti Israel, nangayabda iti tumulong kadakuada manipud iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates, kaduada ni Sobak a mangidadaulo iti armada ni Adadeser.
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.
Idi naibaga kenni David daytoy, inummongna ti sibubukel nga Israel, binallasiwda ti Jordan, ket nakadanonda kadakuada. Pinagsaganana ti armada a makigubat kadagiti Arameo, ket kinarangetda isuna.
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.
Pimmanaw dagiti Arameo manipud Israel, ket pinatay ni David ti pito a ribu a mangiturturong kadagiti karuahe ken uppat a pulo a ribu a magmagna a soldado. Pinatayna pay ni Sobak a pangulo iti armada.
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.
Idi nakita dagiti amin nga ari nga agserserbi kenni Adadeser a naparmek ida ti Israel, nakikappiada kenni David ket nagserbida kadakuada. Isu a saanen a kayat a tulongan dagiti tattao ti Aram dagiti Ammonita.
