2 Samuel 10
1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
Sesudah itu matilah raja bani Amon; dan Hanun, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
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.
Lalu berkatalah Daud: "Aku akan menunjukkan persahabatan kepada Hanun bin Nahas, sama seperti ayahnya telah menunjukkan persahabatan kepadaku." Sebab itu Daud menyuruh menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita kepadanya dengan perantaraan pegawai-pegawainya karena kematian ayahnya. Tetapi ketika pegawai-pegawai Daud sampai ke negeri bani Amon itu,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors 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?”
berkatalah pemuka-pemuka bani Amon itu kepada Hanun, tuan mereka: "Apakah menurut anggapanmu Daud hendak menghormati ayahmu, karena ia telah mengutus kepadamu orang-orang yang menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita? Bukankah dengan maksud untuk menyelidik kota ini, untuk mengintainya dan menghancurkannya maka Daud mengutus pegawai-pegawainya itu kepadamu?"
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.
Lalu Hanun menyuruh menangkap pegawai-pegawai Daud itu, disuruhnya mencukur setengah dari janggut mereka dan memotong pakaian mereka pada bagian tengah sampai pantat mereka, kemudian dilepasnya mereka.
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.”
Hal ini diberitahukan kepada Daud, lalu disuruhnya orang menemui mereka, sebab orang-orang itu sangat dipermalukan. Raja berkata: "Tinggallah di Yerikho sampai janggutmu itu tumbuh, kemudian datanglah kembali."
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.
Setelah dilihat bani Amon, bahwa mereka dibenci Daud, maka bani Amon itu menyuruh orang menyewa dari orang Aram-Bet-Rehob dan orang Aram dari Zoba dua puluh ribu orang pasukan berjalan kaki, dari raja negeri Maakha seribu orang dan dari orang-orang Tob dua belas ribu orang.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, disuruhnyalah Yoab maju dengan segenap pasukan pahlawan.
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.
Lalu bani Amon maju, diaturnya barisan perangnya di depan pintu gerbang, sedang orang Aram dari Zoba dan dari Rehob dan orang-orang Tob dan Maakha ada tersendiri di padang.
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.
Ketika Yoab melihat, bahwa serangan itu mengancam dia dari depan dan dari belakang, maka dipilihnyalah sebagian dari orang pilihan Israel, lalu ia mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan orang Aram itu.
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.
Selebihnya dari rakyat itu ditempatkannya di bawah pimpinan Abisai, adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan bani Amon itu.
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.
Lalu berkatalah Yoab: "Jika orang Aram itu lebih kuat dari padaku, maka haruslah engkau menolong aku, tetapi jika bani Amon itu lebih kuat dari padamu, maka aku akan datang menolong engkau.
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.”
Kuatkanlah hatimu dan marilah kita menguatkan hati untuk bangsa kita dan untuk kota-kota Allah kita. TUHAN kiranya melakukan yang baik di mata-Nya."
13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
Lalu Yoab dan tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia maju berperang melawan orang Aram dan orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapannya.
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.
Ketika bani Amon melihat, bahwa orang Aram sudah melarikan diri, maka merekapun larilah dari hadapan Abisai dan masuk ke dalam kota. Sesudah itu pulanglah Yoab setelah memerangi bani Amon dan sampailah ia ke Yerusalem.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Ketika orang Aram melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka berkumpullah mereka bersama-sama.
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.
Juga Hadadezer menyuruh orang Aram yang di seberang sungai Efrat maju berperang; mereka sampai ke Helam di bawah pimpinan Sobakh, panglima tentara 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.
Setelah hal itu diberitahukan kepada Daud, maka dikumpulkannya seluruh orang Israel, diseberanginya sungai Yordan, lalu sampai ke Helam. Orang Aram mengatur barisannya berhadapan dengan Daud dan bertempur melawan dia,
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.
tetapi orang Aram itu lari dari hadapan orang Israel, dan Daud membunuh dari orang Aram itu tujuh ratus ekor kuda kereta dan empat puluh ribu orang pasukan berkuda. Sobakh, panglima tentara mereka, dilukainya sedemikian, hingga ia mati di sana.
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.
Ketika dilihat semua raja, yang takluk kepada Hadadezer, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka mereka mengadakan perdamaian dengan orang Israel dan takluk kepada mereka; sesudah itu takutlah orang Aram memberi pertolongan lagi kepada bani Amon.
