1 Chronicles 19
1 It came about later that Nahash, king of the people of Ammon, died, and that his son became king in his place.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, i zakralji mu se sin na njegovo mjesto.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. David's servants entered the land of the Ammonites and went to Hanun, in order to console him.
David reče u sebi: “Iskazat ću ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu jer je i njegov otac iskazao milost meni.” David uputi poslanike da mu izraze sućut zbog smrti njegova oca. Kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca k Hanunu da mu izraze sućut,
3 But the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Do not his servants come to you to explore and examine the land in order to overthrow it?”
rekoše knezovi Amonaca Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nisu li zato došle njegove sluge k tebi da razvide, istraže i uhode zemlju?”
4 So Hanun seized David's servants, shaved them, cut off their garments to the waist, up to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge i obrija ih, podreza im haljine dopola, do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag!
5 When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su bili vrlo osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada pa se onda vratite.”
6 When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire Aramean chariots and horsemen from Naharaim, Maacah, and Zobah.
Kad su Amonovi sinovi vidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslao je Hanun s Amonovim sinovima tisuću srebrnih talenata da za plaću najme bojnih kola i konjanika iz Aram Naharajima, iz Aram Maake i iz Soba.
7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. Then the Ammonites gathered themselves together from their cities and came out to battle.
Najmili su za plaću trideset i dvije tisuće bojnih kola, i kralja Maake s njegovim narodom te su oni došli i utaborili se pred Medebom. Amonovi su se sinovi skupili iz svojih gradova i došli u boj.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and his entire army to meet them.
Kad je to čuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom svojom junačkom vojskom.
9 The people of Ammon came out and lined up for battle at the city gate, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
Amonovi sinovi iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima; a kraljevi koji su došli stajali su zasebno na polju.
10 When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi, sprijeda i straga, Joab probra najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
11 As for the rest of the army, he gave it into the command of Abishai his brother, and he put them into battle lines against the army of Ammon.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
12 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako li Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
13 Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good in his eyes.”
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
14 So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
15 When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Joab's brother Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred njegova brata Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada se Joab vrati u Jeruzalem.
16 When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they sent for reinforcements from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer's army.
A Aramejci, vidjevši gdje su ih potukli Izraelci, uputili su poslanike i doveli Aramejce što su s onu stranu Rijeke, na čelu sa Šofakom, vojvodom Hadadezerove vojske.
17 When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and came upon them. He arranged the army for battle against the Arameans, and they fought him.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, primače se Aramejcima i svrsta se prema njima; kad se David svrstao prema Aramejcima u bojni red, oni zametnuše s njime boj.
18 The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven thousand Aramean charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak, the commander of the army.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam tisuća konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubio je i vojvodu Šofaka.
19 When all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served them. So the people of Aram were no longer willing to help the Ammonites.
Kad Hadadezerove sluge vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Davidom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
