2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
I stało się potem, że umarł król synów Ammonowych, a królował Hanon, syn jego, po nim.
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,
Tedy rzekł Dawid: Uczynię miłosierdzie z Hanonem, synem Nahasowym, jako uczynił ojcec jego miłosierdzie ze mną. I posłał Dawid ciesząc go przez sługi swe po ojcu jego, a tak przyszli słudzy Dawidowi do ziemi synów Ammonowych.
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!”
Ale książęta synów Ammonowych rzekły do Hanona, pana swego: I mniemasz, żeby to uczciwość czynił Dawid ojcu twemu, iż przysłał do ciebie tych, którzyby cię cieszyli? Azaż raczej nie dla tego posłał Dawid sługi swe do ciebie aby przepatrzyli miasto, i wyszpiegowali je, aby je potem zburzył?
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.
A tak wziąwszy Hanon sługi Dawidowe, ogolił im po połowie brody ich, i poobrzynał szaty ich aż do połowy, aż do zadków ich, i puścił je.
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.”
A gdy to opwiedziano Dawidowi, posłał przeciwko nim, (ponieważ oni mężowie byli bardzo obelżeni, ) i rzekł im król: Zostńcie w Jerycho, aż odrosną brody wasze, a potem się wrócicie.
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].
Widząc tedy synowie Ammonowi, że się zbrzydzili Dawidowi posłali ciż synowie Ammonowi, i najęli za pieniądze Syryjczyka z domu Rechob, i Syryjczyka w Soba, dwadzieścia tysięcy pieszych, a od króla Maacha tysiąc mężów, a od Istoba dwanaście tysięcy mężów.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
Co gdy usłyszał Dawid, posłał Joaba ze wszystkiem wojskiem ludzi rycerskich.
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.
Tedy synowie Ammonowi wyciągnęli, a uszykowali się do bitwy przed samem wejściem w bramę; Syryjczyk zasię z Soby, i Rechob, i Istob, i Maacha byli osobno w polu.
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.
Przetoż widząc Joab uszykowane wojska przeciwko sobie z przodku i z tyłu, wybrał niektóre ze wszystkich przebranych z Izraela, i uszykował wojsko przeciwko Syryjczykom.
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.
A ostatek ludu dał pod rękę Abisaja, brata swego, i uszykował je przeciwko synom Ammonowym.
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 rzekł: Jeźli mi Syryjczycy będą silnymi, będziesz mi na pomoc, a jeźli tobie synowie Ammonowi będą silnymi przyjdęć na pomoc.
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.”
Zmacniaj się, a bądźmy mężnymi za lud nasz, i za miasto Boga naszego, a Pan niech uczyni, co dobrego jest w oczach jego.
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Nastąpił tedy Joab, i lud, który był z nim, aby zwiódł bitwę z Syryjczykami; a oni uciekali przed nim.
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.
Tedy synowie Ammonowi ujrzawszy, że uciekli Syryjczycy; uciekli i oni przed Abisajem, i weszli do miasta. A Joab wrócił się od synów Ammonowych, i przyszedł do Jeruzalemu.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
A gdy obaczyli Syryjczycy, iż są porażeni od Izraela, zebrali się wespół.
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.
I posłał Hadadezer, a wywiódł Syryjczyki, którzy byli za rzeką, i przyciągnęli do Helam, a Sobach, hetman wojska Hadadezerowego prowadził je.
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.
I oznajmiono to Dawidowi; który zebrawszy wszystkiego Izraela, przeprawił się przez Jordan, i przyszedł do Helam, gdzie uszykowawszy wojsko Syryjczycy przeciw Dawidowi, zwiedli z nim bitwę.
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.
Tedy uciekli Syryjczycy przed Izraelem, i poraził Dawid Syryjczyków siedm set wozów, i czterdzieści tysięcy jezdnych; do tego Sobacha, hetmana wojska ich, ranił, który tamże umarł.
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 gdy ujrzeli wszyscy królowie, hołdownicy Hadadezerowi, iż porażeni byli od Izraela, uczynili pokój z Izraelem, i służyli im; i bali się Syryjczycy dawać pomocy na potem synom Ammonowym.
