2 Samuel 10
1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
А после тога умре цар синова Амонових, и зацари се Анун син његов на његово место.
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.
И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, као што је отац његов мени учинио милост. И посла Давид да га потеши за оцем преко слуга својих. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових.
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?”
А кнезови синова Амонових рекоше Ануну господару свом: Мислиш да је Давид зато послао људе да те потеше, што је рад учинити част оцу твом? А није зато послао Давид к теби слуге своје да промотри град и уходи, па после да га раскопа?
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.
Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија им браде до пола и одсече им хаљине по поле, до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
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.”
А кад то јавише Давиду, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону докле вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
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.
Тада синови Амонови видећи где се омразише с Давидом, послаше синови Амонови, те најмише Сираца од Вет-Реова и Сираца од Сове двадесет хиљада пешака, и у цара од Махе хиљаду људи, и од Ис-Това дванаест хиљада људи.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском својом.
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.
И Изиђоше синови Амонови, и уврсташе се пред вратима, а Сирци из Сове и из Реова и људи из Ис-Това и из Махе беху за себе у пољу.
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.
И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и озад, узе одабране из све војске израиљске, и намести их према Сирцима;
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.
А остали народ предаде Ависају брату свом да их намести према синовима Амоновим.
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.
И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу доћи теби у помоћ.
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.”
Буди храбар, и држимо се храбро за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је по вољи.
13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце, али они побегоше испред њега.
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.
А синови Амонови видећи где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја, и уђоше у свој град. И врати се Јоав од синова Амонових, и дође у Јерусалим.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Али Сирци кад видеше где их надбише Израиљци, скупише се опет.
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.
И Адад-Езер посла, те доведе Сирце испреко реке, који дођоше у Елам; а Совак, војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
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.
Кад то јавише Давиду, он скупи све Израиљце, и пређе преко Јордана и дође у Елам; и Сирци се наместише против Давида и побише се с Давидом.
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.
Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам стотина и четрдесет хиљада коњика; и Совака војводу њиховог уби, те погибе онде.
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.
И кад видеше сви цареви, слуге Адад-Езерове, да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Израиљем, и служаху им, и Сирци не смеше више помагати синовима Амоновим.
