1 Cronicas 19
1 Napasamak daytoy iti saan a nabayag kalpasan a natay ni Naas nga ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket ti putotna a lalaki ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2 Kinuna ni David, “Pakitaak iti kinaimbag ni Hanun a putot ni Naas, gapu ta pinakitaannak iti kinasayaat ti amana.” Isu a nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero a mangliwliwa kenkuana maipapan iti amana. Simrek dagiti adipen ni David iti daga dagiti Ammonita ket nagturongda kenni Hanun tapno liwliwaenda isuna.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
3 Ngem kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo ti Ammon kenni Hanun, “Pagarupem kadi a padpadayawan ni David ti amam gapu iti panangibaonna kadagiti lallaki a mangliwliwa kenka? Saan kadi nga immay dagiti adipenna kenka tapno agdakiwas ken agsukimatda iti daga tapno sakupenda daytoy?”
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
4 Tiniliw ngarud ni Hanun dagiti adipen ni David, binarbasanna ida, pinutedna dagiti pagan-anayda nga agpatingga iti siketda, a dumanon kadagiti patongda ket pinagawidna ida.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Idi impalawagda daytoy kenni David, nangibaon isuna iti mangkita kadakuada, ta kasta unay ti bain dagiti lallaki. Kinuna ti ari, “Agtalinaedkayo idiayJerico agingga nga agtubo dagiti barbasyo, kalpasanna, agsublikayo.”
Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 Idi naamiris dagiti Ammonita a nadadaeldan kenni David, nangipatulod ni Hanun ken dagiti Ammonita iti sangaribu a talento ti pirak a pangabangda kadagiti karuahe dagiti Arameo ken kadagiti kumakabalio manipud iti Naharaim, Maaca ken Soba.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 Inabanganda dagiti tallopulo ket dua a ribu a karuaheda agraman ti ari ti Maaca ken dagiti tattaona a dimteng a nagkampo iti asideg ti Medeba. Naguummong dagiti Ammonita manipud kadagiti siudadda ket rimmuarda tapno makigubat.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Idi nadamag ni David daytoy, imbaonna ni Joab ken ti sibubukel nga armadana a mangsabat kadakuada.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9 Rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Ammon ken nagsaganada iti ruangan ti siudad a makigubat, bayat a dagiti ari nga immay ket addada iti away.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 Idi nakita ni Joab nga agpada a dumarup kenkuana dagiti nakasagana a makigubat iti sangoanan ken likudanna, pinilina dagiti sumagmamano a kalaingan a mannakigubat ti Israel ket pinagpuestona ida maibusor kadagiti taga-Aram.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 Bayat nga impaidauloanna iti kabsatna a ni Abisai dagiti nabati nga armada ket pinagsaganana ida a makigubat kadagiti armada ti Ammon.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Kinuna ni Joab, “No napigpigsa dagiti Arameo ngem kadakami, masapul ngarud a tulongannak, Abisai. Ngem no napigpigsa dagiti tattao ti Ammon ngem kadakayo, umayakto ngarud ket ispalenka.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 Tumuredka, ket ipakitatayo a naturedtayo para kadagiti tattaotayo ken para kadagiti siudad ti Diostayo, ta aramidento ni Yahweh no ania ti nasayaat para iti panggepna.”
Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
14 Dimmarup ngarud ni Joab ken dagiti soldadona tapno makigubat kadagiti Arameo, a kapilitan a naglibas iti sangoanan ti armada ti Israel.
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 Idi nakita ti armada ti Ammon a naglibas dagiti Arameo, linibasanda met ni Abisai a kabsat ni Joab ket nagsublida iti siudad. Kalpasanna, pinanawan ni Joab dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Ket idi nakita dagiti Arameo a naparmek idan ti Israel, nangayabda iti tumulong kadakuada manipud iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates, kaduada ni Sobak a mangidadaulo iti armada ni Adadeser.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
17 Idi naibaga kenni David daytoy, inummongna ti sibubukel nga Israel, binallasiwda ti Jordan, ket nakadanonda kadakuada. Pinagsaganana ti armada a makigubat kadagiti Arameo, ket kinarangetda isuna.
David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 Pimmanaw dagiti Arameo manipud Israel, ket pinatay ni David ti pito a ribu a mangiturturong kadagiti karuahe ken uppat a pulo a ribu a magmagna a soldado. Pinatayna pay ni Sobak a pangulo iti armada.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
19 Idi nakita dagiti amin nga ari nga agserserbi kenni Adadeser a naparmek ida ti Israel, nakikappiada kenni David ket nagserbida kadakuada. Isu a saanen a kayat a tulongan dagiti tattao ti Aram dagiti Ammonita.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
