< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
پس از چندی، پادشاه عمون مرد و پسرش حانون بر تخت او نشست.
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,
داوود پادشاه، پیش خود فکر کرد: «باید رسم دوستی را با حانون بجا آورم، چون پدرش ناحاش، 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 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!”
بزرگان عمون به حانون گفتند: «این اشخاص برای احترام به 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 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.
از این رو، حانون فرستاده‌های داوود را گرفته، ریش یک طرف صورتشان را تراشید و لباسشان را از پشت پاره کرده، ایشان را نیمه برهنه به کشورشان برگردانید.
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.”
نمایندگان داوود خجالت می‌کشیدند با این وضع به وطن بازگردند. 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 [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].
مردم عمون وقتی فهمیدند با این کار، داوود را دشمن خود کرده‌اند، بیست هزار سرباز پیادهٔ سوری از بیت‌رحوب و صوبه و دوازده هزار نفر از طوب، و نیز پادشاه معکه را با هزار نفر اجیر کردند.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
وقتی داوود از این موضوع باخبر شد، یوآب و تمام سپاه اسرائیل را به مقابله با آنها فرستاد. عمونی‌ها از دروازه‌های شهر دفاع می‌کردند و سربازان سوری اهل بیت‌رحوب و صوبه و سربازان طوب و معکه، در صحرا مستقر شده بودند.
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.
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.
وقتی یوآب دید که باید در دو جبهه بجنگد، گروهی از بهترین رزمندگان خود را انتخاب کرد و فرماندهی آنها را به عهده گرفت تا به جنگ سربازان سوری برود.
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.
بقیهٔ سربازان را به برادرش ابیشای سپرد تا به عمونی‌ها که از شهر دفاع می‌کردند، حمله کند.
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.
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.
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.”
شجاع باش! اگر واقعاً می‌خواهیم قوم خود و شهرهای خدای خود را نجات دهیم، امروز باید مردانه بجنگیم. هر چه خواست خداوند است، انجام خواهد شد.»
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
هنگامی که یوآب و سربازانش حمله کردند، سوریان پا به فرار گذاشتند.
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.
عمونیان نیز وقتی دیدند مزدوران سوری فرار می‌کنند، آنها هم فرار کرده، تا داخل شهر، عقب‌نشینی نمودند. یوآب از جنگ با عمونی‌ها بازگشت و به اورشلیم مراجعت کرد.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
سوری‌ها وقتی دیدند نمی‌توانند در برابر اسرائیلی‌ها مقاومت کنند، تمام سربازان خود را احضار کردند. هددعزر پادشاه، سوری‌هایی را نیز که در شرق رود فرات بودند جمع کرد. این نیروها به فرماندهی شوبک که فرماندهٔ سپاه هددعزر بود به حیلام آمدند.
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.
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.
داوود چون این را شنید، همهٔ سربازان اسرائیلی را جمع کرد و از رود اردن عبور کرده، به حیلام آمد. در آنجا با سربازان سوری وارد جنگ شد.
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.
ولی سوری‌ها باز هم گریختند و داوود و سربازانش هفتصد ارابه سوار و چهل هزار اسب سوار سوری را کشتند. شوبک نیز در این جنگ کشته شد.
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.
وقتی پادشاهان خدمتگزار هددعزر دیدند که سربازان سوری شکست خورده‌اند، با اسرائیلی‌ها صلح نموده، تابع آنها شدند. از آن پس، دیگر سوری‌ها جرأت نکردند به عمونی‌ها کمک کنند.
