2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
At nangyari pagkatapos nito, na ang hari ng mga anak ni Ammon ay namatay, at si Hanun na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
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,
At sinabi ni David, Aking pagpapakitaan ng kagandahang loob si Hanun na anak ni Naas, na gaya ng pagpapakita ng kagandahang loob ng kaniyang ama sa akin. Sa gayo'y nagsugo si David sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod upang aliwin siya tungkol sa kaniyang ama. At nagsiparoon ang mga lingkod ni David sa lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon.
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!”
Nguni't sinabi ng mga prinsipe ng mga anak ni Ammon kay Hanun na kanilang panginoon, Inakala mo bang pinararangalan ni David ang iyong ama, kaya't siya'y nagsugo ng mga tagaaliw sa iyo? hindi ba nagsugo si David ng kaniyang mga bataan sa iyo upang kilalanin ang bayan, at upang tiktikan, at upang daigin?
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.
Sa gayo'y kinuha ni Hanun ang mga lingkod ni David, at inahit ang kalahati ng kanilang balbas, at pinutol ang kanilang mga suot sa gitna, sa kanilang pigi, at pinayaon.
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.”
Nang kanilang saysayin kay David, siya'y nagsugo upang salubungin sila; sapagka't ang mga lalake ay totoong nangapahiya. At sinabi ng hari, Mangaghintay kayo sa Jerico hanggang sa tumubo ang inyong balbas, at kung magkagayo'y mangagbalik kayo.
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].
At nang makita ng mga anak ni Ammon na sila'y naging nakapopoot kay David, ang mga anak ni Ammon ay nangagsugo, at inupahan ang mga taga Siria sa Beth-rehob, at ang mga taga Siria sa Soba, na dalawang pung libong naglalakad, at ang hari sa Maaca na may isang libong lalake, at ang mga lalaking taga Tob na labing dalawang libong lalake.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
At nang mabalitaan ni David, kaniyang sinugo si Joab at ang buong hukbo ng makapangyarihang mga lalake.
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.
At ang mga anak ni Ammon ay nagsilabas at nagsihanay ng pakikipagbaka sa pasukan sa pintuang-bayan: at ang mga taga Siria sa Soba, at sa Rehob, at ang mga lalaking taga Tob at mga taga Maaca, ay nangabubukod sa parang.
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.
Nang makita nga ni Joab na ang pagbabaka ay nauumang laban sa kaniyang harapan at likuran, siya'y pumili ng lahat na mga hirang na lalake sa Israel, at ipinaghahanay niya laban sa mga taga Siria:
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.
At ang nalabi sa bayan ay kaniyang ibinigay sa kamay ni Abisai na kaniyang kapatid, at kaniyang ipinaghahanay laban sa mga anak ni Ammon.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi, Kung ang mga taga Siria ay maging malakas kay sa akin, iyo ngang tutulungan ako: nguni't kung ang mga anak ni Ammon ay maging malakas kay sa iyo, ay paparoon nga ako at tutulungan kita.
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.”
Magpakatapang ka, at tayo'y magpakalalake para sa ating bayan, at sa mga bayan ng ating Dios: at gawin nawa ng Panginoon ang inaakala niyang mabuti.
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Sa gayo'y nagsilapit si Joab at ang bayan na kasama niya sa pakikipagbaka laban sa mga taga Siria: at sila'y nagsitakas sa harap niya.
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.
At nang makita ng mga anak ni Ammon na ang mga taga Siria ay nagsitakas, sila naman ay nagsitakas sa harap ni Abisai, at nagsipasok sa bayan. Ngayo'y bumalik si Joab na mula sa mga anak ni Ammon, at naparoon sa Jerusalem.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
At nang makita ng mga taga Siria na sila'y nasasahol sa harap ng Israel, sila'y nagpipisan.
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.
At nagsugo si Hadadezer at dinala ang mga taga Siria na nangaroon sa dako pa roon ng Ilog; at sila'y nagsiparoon sa Helam, na kasama ni Sobach na puno ng hukbo ni Hadadezer sa kanilang unahan.
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.
At nasaysay kay David, at kaniyang pinisan ang buong Israel, at tumawid sa Jordan, at naparoon sa Helam. At ang mga taga Siria ay nagsihanay laban kay David, at nagsilaban sa kaniya.
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.
At ang mga taga Siria ay nagsitakas sa harap ng Israel; at pumatay si David sa mga taga Siria ng mga tao ng pitong daang karo, at apat na pung libo na nangangabayo, at sinaktan si Sobach na kapitan sa kanilang hukbo, na anopa't namatay roon.
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.
At nang makita ng lahat na hari na mga lingkod ni Hadadezer na sila'y nasahol sa harap ng Israel, ay nangakipagpayapaan sa Israel at nangaglingkod sa kanila. Sa gayo'y nangatakot ang mga taga Siria na magsitulong pa sa mga anak ni Ammon.
