2 Samuel 10
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, eze ndị Amọn nwụrụ. Hanọn nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Devid chere sị, “Aga m egosi Hanọn nwa Nahash obi ebere dịka nna ya si gosi m obi ebere.” Ya mere, Devid zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa kasịe ya obi nʼihi ọnwụ nna ya. Mgbe ndị ikom Devid rutere nʼala ndị Amọn,
And David said, I will show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 ndịisi ala Amọn sịrị Hanọn bụ onyenwe ha, “Ị na-eche na Devid na-akwanyere nna gị ụgwụ site na izite ndị ozi ya ka ha bịa kasịe gị obi? Ọ bụ na Devid eziteghị ha ịbịakwute gị, naanị ka ha bịa mee nledo nʼobodo a, nyochapụta ya ma kwatuo ya?”
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honor your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?
4 Nʼihi nke a, Hanọn jidere ndị ozi Devid nʼike, kpụchapụ otu mpaghara afụọnụ nwoke ọbụla, bipụkwa uwe mwụda ha nʼetiti ike ha, zilaga ha.
And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and sent them away.
5 Mgbe a gwara Devid ihe mere, o zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa zute ndị ikom ahụ, nʼihi na e mere ha ihe ihere nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu. Eze sịrị, “Nọdụnụ na Jeriko ruo mgbe afụọnụ unu tolitere, mgbe ahụ unu ga-alọta.”
And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonored: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you shall return.
6 Ma mgbe ndị Amọn chọpụtara na ha abụrụla ihe ịsọ oyi nʼebe Devid nọ, ha gara goo iri puku ndị agha abụọ ji ụkwụ eje site nʼAram, Bet-Rehob nakwa Zoba. Ha gokwara eze Maaka ya na puku ndị ikom, tinyekwara iri puku ndị ikom na puku abụọ ọzọ site nʼala Tob.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.
7 Mgbe Devid nụrụ nke a, o zipụrụ Joab na ndị agha ya niile bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men.
8 Ndị Amọn pụtara doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo ha. Ma ndị Aram, ndị si Zoba na Rehob, na ndị ikom Tob na Maaka, nọpụrụ onwe ha na mbara ala.
And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field.
9 Mgbe Joab hụrụ na agha dị megide ya nʼihu na azụ, ọ họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ọkachamara site nʼetiti ndị agha Izrel, doo ha nʼusoro izute ndị Aram.
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
10 O tinyere ndị ikom fọdụrụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Abishai, nwanne ya, zipụkwa ha izute ndị Amọn nʼagha.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.
11 Joab sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị agha Aram akarịa m ike, pụta bịa nyere m aka; ma ọ bụrụkwanụ na ndị Amọn akarịa gị ike, aga m apụta bịa napụta gị.
And he said, If Syria be too strong for me, then shall you help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you.
12 Nwee obi ike, ka anyị lụọ ọgụ a dịka ndị dị ike, nʼihi ndị anyị, na obodo niile nke Chineke anyị. Ka Onyenwe anyị meekwa ihe dị mma nʼanya ya.”
Be you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
13 Mgbe ahụ, Joab na ndị agha so ya bịara nso ibuso ndị Aram agha, ha sitere nʼihu ha gbapụ ọsọ.
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
14 Mgbe ndị Amọn hụrụ ka ndị Aram na-agbapụ ọsọ, ha onwe ha gbakwara ọsọ nʼihu Abishai, gbaba nʼime obodo. Ya mere, Joab sitere nʼịlụso ndị Amọn agha lọghachi, bịa na Jerusalem.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Mgbe ndị Aram hụrụ na ndị Izrel tigburu ha; ha lara, chịkọtaa onwe ha ọnụ.
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
16 Hadadeza mere ka a kpọta ndị Aram site nʼofe ọzọ nke Osimiri Yufretis. Ha gara Hilam, ha na ọchịagha ndị agha Hadadeza, a na-akpọ Shobak, onye na-edu ha.
And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head.
17 Mgbe a gwara Devid banyere nke a, ọ chịkọtara ndị Izrel niile, gafee Jọdan, jeruo Hilam. Ndị Aram doro usoro agha ha izute Devid, lụsokwaa ya agha.
And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.
18 Ma ha sitere nʼihu ndị Izrel gbaa ọsọ, Devid gburu narị ndị ikom asaa na-anya ụgbọ agha nke ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ. Gbukwaa iri puku ndị agha anọ na-eji ụkwụ eje. O tidara Shobak, bụ ọchịagha ndị agha ha, ọ nwụọ nʼebe ahụ.
And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there.
19 Mgbe ndị eze niile nọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Hadadeza hụrụ na Izrel etigbuola ha, ha mere ka ha na ndị Izrel dịrị nʼudo, bụrụkwa ndị nọ nʼokpuru ha. Ya mere, ndị Aram tụrụ egwu inyere ụmụ Amọn aka ọzọ.
And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
