1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
| پس از چندی ناحاش، پادشاه عمون مرد و پسرش بر تخت او نشست. |
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,
| داوود پادشاه پیش خود فکر کرد: «باید رسم دوستی را با حانون، پسر ناحاش بجا آورم، چون پدرش دوست باوفای من بود.» پس داوود نمایندگانی به دربار حانون فرستاد تا به او تسلیت بگویند. ولی وقتی نمایندگان به عمون رسیدند، |
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.”
| بزرگان عمون به حانون گفتند: «این اشخاص به احترام پدرت به اینجا نیامده‌اند، بلکه داوود آنها را فرستاده است تا پیش از حمله به ما، شهرها را جاسوسی کنند.» |
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].
| از این رو، حانون فرستاده‌های داوود را گرفته، ریششان را تراشید، لباسشان را از پشت پاره کرد و ایشان را نیمه برهنه به کشورشان برگردانید. |
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.”
| نمایندگان داوود خجالت می‌کشیدند با این وضع به وطن مراجعت کنند. داوود چون این خبر را شنید، دستور داد آنها در شهر اریحا بمانند تا ریششان بلند شود. |
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].
| مردم عمون وقتی فهمیدند با این کار، داوود را دشمن خود کرده‌اند، سی و چهار تن نقره فرستادند تا از معکه و صوبه، واقع در سوریه، ارابه‌ها و سواره نظام اجیر کنند. |
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].
| با این پول سی و دو هزار ارابه و خود پادشاه معکه و تمام سپاه او را اجیر کردند. این نیروها در میدبا اردو زدند و سربازان حانون پادشاه هم که از شهرهای عمون جمع شده بودند، در آنجا به ایشان پیوستند. |
8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
| وقتی داوود از این موضوع باخبر شد، یوآب و تمام سپاه اسرائیل را به مقابله با آنها فرستاد. |
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.
| عمونی‌ها از دروازه‌های شهر خود دفاع می‌کردند و نیروهای اجیر شده در صحرا مستقر شده بودند. |
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.
| وقتی یوآب دید که باید در دو جبهه بجنگد، گروهی از بهترین رزمندگان خود را انتخاب کرده، فرماندهی آنها را به عهده گرفت تا به جنگ سربازان سوری برود. |
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.
| بقیهٔ سربازان را نیز به برادرش ابیشای سپرد تا به عمونی‌ها که از شهر دفاع می‌کردند، حمله کند. |
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.
| یوآب به برادرش گفت: «اگر از عهدهٔ سربازان سوری برنیامدم به کمک من بیا، و اگر تو از عهدهٔ عمونی‌ها برنیامدی، من به کمک تو می‌آیم. |
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.”
| شجاع باش! اگر واقعاً می‌خواهیم قوم خود و شهرهای خدای خود را نجات دهیم، امروز باید مردانه بجنگیم. هر چه خواست خداوند باشد، انجام می‌شود.» |
14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
| وقتی یوآب و سربازانش حمله کردند، سوری‌ها پا به فرار گذاشتند. |
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.
| عمونی‌ها نیز وقتی دیدند مزدوران سوری فرار می‌کنند، آنها هم گریختند و تا داخل شهر عقب‌نشینی نمودند. سپس یوآب به اورشلیم مراجعت کرد. |
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.
| سوری‌ها وقتی دیدند نمی‌توانند در مقابل اسرائیلی‌ها مقاومت کنند، سربازان سوری شرق رود فرات را نیز به کمک طلبیدند. فرماندهی این نیروها به عهدهٔ شوبک فرماندهٔ سپاه هددعزر بود. |
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.
| داوود چون این را شنید، همهٔ سربازان اسرائیلی را جمع کرده، از رود اردن گذشت و با نیروهای سوری وارد جنگ شد. |
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.
| ولی سوری‌ها باز هم گریختند و داوود و سربازانش هفت هزار ارابه سوار و چهل هزار پیاده سوری را کشتند. شوبک نیز در این جنگ کشته شد. |
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.
| وقتی پادشاهان مزدور هددعزر دیدند که سربازان سوری شکست خورده‌اند، با داوود صلح نموده، به خدمت او درآمدند. از آن پس دیگر سوری‌ها به عمونی‌ها کمک نکردند. |
