2 Samuel 10
1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
Depois disto aconteceu, que morreu o rei dos filhos de Amom: e reinou em lugar seu Hanum seu filho.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
E disse Davi: Eu farei misericórdia com Hanum filho de Naás, como seu pai a fez comigo. E enviou Davi seus servos a consolá-lo por seu pai. Mas chegados os servos de Davi à terra dos filhos de Amom,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
Os príncipes dos filhos de Amom disseram a Hanum seu senhor: Parece-te que para Davi honrar a teu pai te enviou consoladores? Não enviou Davi seus servos a ti por reconhecer e inspecionar a cidade, para destruí-la?
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Então Hanum tomou os servos de Davi, e rapou-lhes a metade da barba, e cortou-lhes as roupas pela metade até as nádegas, e despachou-os.
5 When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
O qual quando foi feito saber a Davi, enviou a encontrar-lhes, porque eles estavam em extremo envergonhados; e o rei fez dizer lhes: Ficai-vos em Jericó até que vos volte a nascer a barba, e então regressareis.
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
E vendo os filhos de Amom que se fizeram odiosos a Davi, enviaram os filhos de Amom e alugaram aos sírios da casa de Reobe, e aos sírios de Zobá, vinte mil homens a pé: e do rei de Maaca mil homens, e de Tobe doze mil homens.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
O qual quando ouviu Davi, enviou a Joabe com todo o exército dos valentes.
8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
E saindo os filhos de Amom, ordenaram seus esquadrões à entrada da porta: mas os sírios de Zobá, e de Reobe, e de Tobe, e de Maaca, estavam à parte no campo.
9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
Vendo, pois, Joabe que havia esquadrões diante e detrás dele, escolheu de todos os escolhidos de Israel, e pôs-se em ordem contra os sírios.
10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
Entregou logo o que restou do povo em mão de Abisai seu irmão, e o pôs em ordem para encontrar aos amonitas.
11 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
E disse: Se os sírios me forem superiores, tu me ajudarás; e se os filhos de Amom puderem mais que tu, eu te darei ajuda.
12 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos por nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o SENHOR o que bem lhe parecer.
13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
E aproximou-se Joabe, e o povo que com ele estava, para lutar com os sírios; mas eles fugiram diante dele.
14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
Então os filhos de Amom, vendo que os sírios haviam fugido, fugiram também eles diante de Abisai, e entraram-se na cidade. E voltou Joabe dos filhos de Amom, e veio a Jerusalém.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Mas vendo os sírios que haviam caído diante de Israel, voltaram a se juntar.
16 Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
E enviou Hadadezer, e tirou os sírios que estavam da outra parte do rio, os quais vieram a Helã, levando por chefe a Sobaque general do exército de Hadadezer.
17 David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
E quando foi dado aviso a Davi, juntou a todo Israel, e passando o Jordão veio a Helã: e os sírios se puseram em ordem contra Davi, e lutaram com ele.
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
Mas os sírios fugiram diante de Israel: e feriu Davi dos sírios a gente de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil cavaleiros: feriu também a Sobaque general do exército, e morreu ali.
19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
Vendo, pois todos os reis que assistiam a Hadadezer, como haviam eles sido derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e serviram-no; e dali adiante temeram os sírios de socorrer aos filhos de Amom.
