1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
A poslije toga umrije Nas car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
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,
I reèe David: da uèinim milost Anunu sinu Nasovu, jer je otac njegov uèinio meni milost. I posla David poslanike da ga potješe za ocem. I doðoše sluge Davidove u zemlju sinova Amonovijeh k Anunu da ga potješe.
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.”
A knezovi sinova Amonovijeh rekoše Anunu gospodaru svojemu: misliš da je David zato poslao ljude da te potješe što je rad uèiniti èast ocu tvojemu? a nijesu zato došle sluge njegove k tebi da promotre i uhode i obore zemlju?
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].
Tada Anun uhvati sluge Davidove, i obrija ih i otsijeèe im haljine po pole do zadnjice, i opravi ih natrag.
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.”
A kad neki otidoše, te javiše Davidu za te ljude, on posla pred njih, jer ljudi bijahu grdno osramoæeni, i poruèi im car: sjedite u Jerihonu dok vam naraste brada, pa onda doðite natrag.
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].
A kad vidješe sinovi Amonovi gdje se omraziše s Davidom, onda Anun i sinovi Amonovi poslaše tisuæu talanata srebra da najme kola i konjika iz Mesopotamije i iz Sirije Mahe i iz Sove.
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].
I najmiše trideset i dvije tisuæe kola i cara od Mahe s narodom njegovijem, koji doðoše i stadoše u oko prema Medevi. A i sinovi Amonovi skupiše se iz gradova svojih i doðoše na boj.
8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
A David kad to èu, posla Joava sa svom hrabrom vojskom.
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.
I izidoše sinovi Amonovi i uvrstaše se pred vratima gradskim; a carevi koji doðoše bijahu za se u polju.
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.
I Joav vidjeæi namještenu vojsku prema sebi sprijed i sastrag, uze odabrane iz sve vojske Izrailjske, i namjesti ih prema Sircima.
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.
A ostali narod predade Avisaju bratu svojemu; i namjestiše ih prema sinovima Amonovijem.
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.
I reèe: ako Sirci budu jaèi od mene, doði mi u pomoæ; ako li sinovi Amonovi budu jaèi od tebe, ja æu tebi doæi u pomoæ.
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.”
Budi junak i držimo se junaèki za svoj narod i za gradove Boga svojega; a Gospod neka uèini što mu je drago.
14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Tada Joav i narod koji bijaše s njim primakoše se da udare na Sirce; ali oni pobjegoše ispred njih.
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.
A sinovi Amonovi kad vidješe gdje pobjegoše Sirci, pobjegoše i oni ispred Avisaja brata njegova i uðoše u svoj grad. Potom se Joav vrati u Jerusalim.
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.
Ali Sirci kad vidješe gdje ih nadbiše Izrailjci, poslaše poslanike te dovedoše Sirce ispreko rijeke; a Sofak vojvoda Adar-Ezerov iðaše pred njima.
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.
Kad to javiše Davidu, on skupi sve Izrailjce, i prijeðe preko Jordana, i doðe k njima, i namjesti vojsku prema njima; a kad namjesti David vojsku prema njima, pobiše se s njim.
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.
Ali pobjegoše Sirci ispred Izrailja, i pobi David Siraca sedam tisuæa kola i èetrdeset tisuæa pješaka, i Sofaka vojvodu pogubi.
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.
I kad vidješe sluge Adar-Ezerove da ih razbi Izrailj, uèiniše mir s Davidom i služahu mu; i ne htješe više Sirci pomagati sinovima Amonovijem.
