2 Samuel 10
1 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, eze ndị Amọn nwụrụ. Hanọn nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the king of the Bene-Ammon dieth, and Hanun his son reigneth 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 saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come in to the land of the Bene-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 heads of the Bene-Ammon say unto Hanun their lord, 'Is David honouring thy father in thine eyes because he hath sent to thee comforters? for to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it, hath not David sent his servants unto thee?'
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 Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth off the half of their beard, and cutteth off their long robes in the midst — unto their buttocks, and sendeth 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 declare [it] to David, and he sendeth to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king saith, 'Abide in Jericho till your beard doth spring up — then ye have returned.'
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 Bene-Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the Bene-Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] a thousand men, and Ish-Tob [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 heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host — 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 Bene-Ammon come out, and set battle in array, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] 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 seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him before and behind, and he chooseth of all the chosen in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
10 O tinyere ndị ikom fọdụrụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Abishai, nwanne ya, zipụkwa ha izute ndị Amọn nʼagha.
and the rest of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and setteth in array to meet the Bene-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 saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation, and if the Bene-Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have come to give salvation to thee;
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 strong and strengthen thyself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth 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 draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
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 Bene-Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go in to the city; and Joab turneth back from the Bene-Ammon, and cometh in to Jerusalem.
15 Mgbe ndị Aram hụrụ na ndị Izrel tigburu ha; ha lara, chịkọtaa onwe ha ọnụ.
And Aram seeth that it is smitten before Israel, and they are gathered 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 Hadadezer sendeth, and bringeth out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come in to Helam, and Shobach head of the host of Hadadezer [is] before them.
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 is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in to Helam, and Aram setteth itself in array to meet David, and they fight 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 Aram fleeth from the presence of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand horsemen, and Shobach head of its host he hath smitten, and he dieth 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 — servants of Hadadezer — see that they have been smitten before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help any more the Bene-Ammon.
