1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
Depois disso, Nahash, o rei dos filhos de Amon, morreu e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
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,
David disse: “Eu mostrarei bondade a Hanun, o filho de Nahash, porque seu pai demonstrou bondade para comigo”. Assim, David enviou mensageiros para consolá-lo a respeito de seu pai. Os servos de David vieram à terra dos filhos de Ammon para Hanun para confortá-lo.
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.”
Mas os príncipes das crianças de Ammon disseram a Hanun: “Você acha que David honra seu pai, por ter enviado consoladores a você? Os servos dele não vieram até você para procurar, derrubar e espionar a terra?”
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].
Então Hanun levou os servos de David, raspou-os, cortou suas roupas no meio das nádegas, e os mandou embora.
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.”
Então algumas pessoas foram e contaram a David como os homens foram tratados. Ele enviou para encontrá-los, pois os homens foram muito humilhados. O rei disse: “Fiquem em Jericó até que suas barbas tenham crescido, e depois voltem”.
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].
Quando os filhos de Ammon viram que tinham se tornado odiosos para David, Hanun e os filhos de Ammon enviaram mil talentos de prata para contratar carros e cavaleiros da Mesopotâmia, de Aram-maacah e de Zobah.
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].
Assim, eles contrataram para si trinta e dois mil carros e o rei de Maaca com seu povo, que veio e acampou perto de Medeba. As crianças de Ammon se reuniram de suas cidades e vieram para a batalha.
8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
Quando David soube disso, enviou Joab com todo o exército dos homens poderosos.
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.
As crianças de Ammon saíram e ordenaram a batalha no portão da cidade; e os reis que tinham vindo estavam sozinhos no campo.
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.
Agora, quando Joab viu que a batalha foi travada contra ele antes e depois, ele escolheu alguns dos homens escolhidos de Israel, e os colocou em ordem contra os sírios.
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.
O resto das pessoas que ele colocou nas mãos de Abishai, seu irmão; e eles se colocaram em ordem contra os filhos de Amon.
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.
Ele disse: “Se os sírios são fortes demais para mim, então vocês devem me ajudar; mas se os filhos de Amon são fortes demais para vocês, então eu os ajudarei”.
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.”
Seja corajoso, e sejamos fortes por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus. Que Yahweh faça o que lhe parece bom”.
14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Então Joab e as pessoas que estavam com ele chegaram perto da frente dos sírios para a batalha; e fugiram diante dele.
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.
Quando os filhos de Amon viram que os sírios haviam fugido, também fugiram antes de Abishai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade. Então Joab veio a Jerusalém.
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.
Quando os sírios viram que tinham sido derrotados por Israel, enviaram mensageiros e chamaram os sírios que estavam além do rio, com Shophach, o capitão do exército de Hadadezer, liderando-os.
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.
David foi informado de que, assim, reuniu todo Israel, passou pelo Jordão, veio até eles e ordenou a batalha contra eles. Assim, quando Davi colocou a batalha em ordem contra os sírios, eles lutaram com ele.
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.
Os sírios fugiram diante de Israel; e David matou dos sírios sete mil cocheiros e quarenta mil homens de pé, e também matou Shophach, o capitão do exército.
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.
Quando os servos de Hadadezer viram que tinham sido derrotados por Israel, fizeram as pazes com Davi e o serviram. Os sírios não ajudariam mais as crianças de Ammon.
