< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Forsothe it was doon aftir these thingis, that Naas, kyng of the sones of Amon, diede; and Anoon, his sone, regnede for hym. And Dauid seide,
Ikawa baadaye mfalme wa watu wa Amoni akafa, na Hanuni mwanaye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
2 Y schal do mercy with Anon, the sone of Naas, as his fadir dide mercy with me. Therfor Dauid sente coumfortynge hym by hise seruauntis on the deeth of the fadir. Sotheli whanne the seruauntis of Dauid hadden come in to the lond of the sones of Amon,
Daudi akasema, “Nitaonesha fadhiri Hanuni mwana wa Nahashi, kwa kuwa baba yake alinifadhiri.” Hivyo Daudi akatuma watumishi wake kumfariji Hanuni kwa habari ya baba yake. Watumishi wake wakaingia katika nchi ya watu wa Amoni.
3 princes of the sones of Amon seiden to Anon, her lord, Gessist thou that for the onour of thi fadir Dauid sente coumfortouris to thee; and not herfor Dauid sente hise seruauntis to thee, that he schulde aspie, and enserche the citee, and distrie it?
Lakini viongozi wa watu wa Amoni wakamwambia Hanuni bwana wao, “Je unathani kwa hakika Daudi anamweshimu baba yako hata ametuma watu kukutia moyo? Daudi hajawatuma watumishi wake kwako ili kuuangalia mji, kuupeleleza, ili kuupindua?
4 Therfor Anoon took the seruauntis of Dauid, and schauyde half the part of `the beerd of hem, and he kittide awey the myddil clothis of hem `til to the buttokis; and lefte hem.
Hivyo Hanuni akawachukuwa watumishi wa Daudi, akawanyoa nusu ya ndevu zao, akachana mavazi yao hadi kwenye matako, naye akawaacha waende zao.
5 And whanne this was teld to Dauid, he sente in to the comyng of hem, for the men weren schent ful vilensly. And Dauid comaundide to hem, Dwelle ye in Jerico, til youre beerd wexe, and thanne turne ye ayen.
Daudi alipoelezwa kuhusu hili, akatuma watu kwenda kuwalaki, kwa kuwa walikuwa wamefedheheshwa sana. Mfalme akawambia, “Kaeni Yeriko mpaka ndevu zenu zitakapoota, ndipo mrudi.”
6 Sotheli the sones of Amon sien, that thei hadden do wrong to Dauid, and thei senten, and hiriden bi meede Roob of Sirye, and Soba of Sirie, twenti thousynde of foot men, and of kyng Maacha, a thousynde men, and of Istob twelue thousynde of men.
Watu wa Amoni walipoona kwamba wamenuka kwa Daudi, wakatuma wajumbe na kuwaajiri Washami wa Bethi Rehobu na Soba, askari elfu ishirini waendao kwa mguu, na mfalme wa Maaka pamoja na watu elfu, na watu wa Tobu elfu kumi na mbili.
7 And whanne Dauid hadde herd this, he sent Joab and al the oost of fiyteris.
Daudi aliposikia, akamtuma Yoabu na jeshi lote la askari.
8 Therfor the sones of Amon yeden out, and dressiden scheltrun bifor hem in the entryng of the yate. Forsothe Soba, and Roob of Sirie, and Istob, and Maacha weren asidis half in the feeld.
Waamoni wakatoka na wakafanya mistari ya vita katika maingilio ya lango la mji wao, wakati Washami wa Soba na wale wa Rehobu, na watu wa Tobu na Maaka, wakasimama peke yao uwandani.
9 Therfor Joab siy, that batel was maad redi ayens hym, bothe euene ayens and bihynde the bak; and he chees to hym silf of alle the chosun men of Israel, and ordeynede scheltrun ayens Sirus.
Yoabu alipoona mistari ya vita ikimkabili pote mbele na nyuma, alichagua baadhi ya waisraeli wajuao kupigana vizuri na akawapanga dhidi ya Washami.
10 Forsothe he bitook to Abisai, his brothir, the tother part of the puple, which dresside scheltrun ayens the sones of Amon.
Na sehemu iliyosalia ya jeshi, akawaweka chini ya Abishai nduguye, naye akawaweka katika mistari ya vita dhidi ya jeshi la Amoni.
11 And Joab seide, If men of Sirie han the maistrie ayens me, thou schalt be to me in to help; sotheli if the sones of Amon han the maistrie ayens thee, Y schal helpe thee;
Yoabu akasema, “ikiwa Washami watakuwa na nguvu zaidi juu yangu, kisha wewe, Abishai, lazima uniokoe. Lakini ikiwa jeshi la Amoni litakuwa na nguvu zaidi juu yako, nitakuja kukuokoa.
12 be thou a strong man, and fiyte we for oure puple, and for the citee of oure God; forsothe the Lord schal do that, that is good in his siyt.
Iweni na nguvu, nasi tujioneshe kuwa wenye nguvu kwa ajili ya watu wetu na miji ya Mungu wetu, kwa maana Yahwe atatenda yapendezayo kwa ajili ya kusudi lake.
13 Therfor Joab and his puple that was with hym, bigan batel ayens men of Sirie, whiche fledden anoon fro his face.
Hivyo Yoabu na askari wa jeshi lake wakasonga mbele katika vita dhidi ya Washami, waliolazimika kukimbia mbele ya jeshi la Israeli.
14 Forsothe the sones of Amon sien, that men of Sirie hadden fled; and thei fledden also fro the face of Abisai, and entriden in to the citee; and Joab turnede ayen fro the sones of Amon, and cam in to Jerusalem.
Jeshi la Amoni lilipoona kwamba Washami wamekimbia, nao pia wakakimbia kutoka kwa Abishai wakarudi ndani ya mji. Ndipo Yoabu akarudi kutoka kwa watu wa Amoni na akarejea Yerusalemu.
15 Forsothe men of Sirye sien that thei hadden feld bifor Israel, and thei weren gaderid to gidere.
Washami walipoona kwamba wameshindwa na Israeli, walijikusanya pamoja tena.
16 And Adadezer sente, and ledde out men of Sirie that weren biyende the flood, and he brouyte the oost of hem; sotheli Sobach, mayster of the chyualrie of Adadezer, was the prince of hem.
Kisha Hadareza akatuma kuleta vikosi vya Washami ng'ambo ya Mto Frati. Wakaja Helamu pamoja na Shobaki, mkuu wa jeshi la Hadareza juu yao.
17 And whanne this was teld to Dauid, he drow togidere al Israel, and passide Jordan, and cam in to Helama. And men of Sirie dressiden scheltrun ayens Dauid, and fouyten ayens hym.
Daudi alipoambiwa, aliwakusanya Israeli wote pamoja, akavuka Yordani, na akafika Helamu. Washami wakajipanga katika mistari ya vita dhidi ya Daudi na wakapigana naye.
18 And Sireis fledden fro the face of Israel; and Dauid killide of Sireis seuene hundrid charis, and fourti thousynde of knyytis; and he smoot Sobach, the prince of chyualrie, which was deed anoon.
Washami wakakimbia mbele ya Israeli. Daudi akaua askari mia saba wa magari na askari wa farasi elfu arobaini. Shobaki mkuu wa jeshi lao alijeruhiwa na akafa huko.
19 Forsothe alle kyngis, that weren in the help of Adadezer, siyen that thei weren ouercomun of Israel, and thei maden pees with Israel, and serueden hem; and Sireis dredden to yyue help to the sones of Amon.
Wafalme wote waliokuwa watumishi wa Hadareza walipoona kuwa wameshindwa na Israeli, walifanya amani na Israeli na wakawa watumishi wao. Hivyo washami wakaogopa kuwasaidia watu wa Amoni tena.
