2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, a zakralji se njegov sin Hanun mjesto njega.
2 David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
A David reče u sebi: “Želio bih iskazati ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu, kao što je njegov otac iskazao meni.” Zato David posla svoje sluge da mu izraze sućut zbog njegova oca. Ali kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca,
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
rekoše knezovi Amonaca svome gospodaru Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nije li možda zato David poslao svoje ljude k tebi da razvide grad da bi doznao njegovu obranu i potom ga oborio?”
4 Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge, obrija im pola brade i skrati im haljine dopola, sve do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag.
5 The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su ti ljudi bili teško osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada, pa se onda vratite!”
6 Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
Tada Amonci uvidješe da su se omrazili s Davidom; zato Amonci poslaše glasnike da za plaću unajme Aramejce iz Bet Rehoba i Aramejce iz Sobe, dvadeset tisuća pješaka, zatim kralja Maake, tisuću ljudi, i ljude iz Toba, dvanaest tisuća vojnika.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
Kad je David to čuo, posla Joaba s vojskom i izabranim junacima.
8 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
Amonci iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima, dok su Aramejci iz Sobe i iz Rehoba i ljudi iz Toba i iz Maake stajali zasebno na polju.
9 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi sprijeda i straga, probra Joab najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
10 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
11 Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
12 We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
14 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’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada Joab odustane od rata protiv Amonaca i vrati se u Jeruzalem.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
Kad su Aramejci vidjeli gdje su ih Izraelci razbili, sabraše ponovo svoje čete.
16 [Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
Hadadezer posla glasnike i sabra Aramejce što su s one strane rijeke. Ovi dođoše u Helam pod vodstvom Šobaka, vojvode Hadadezerove vojske.
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, dođe u Helam. Aramejci se svrstaše protiv Davida i zametnuše s njime boj.
18 But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam stotina konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubi i njihova vojvodu Šobaka te je ondje umro.
19 When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
A kad svi kraljevi, Hadadezerovi vazali, vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Izraelom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
