II Samuel 10
1 Iti saan a nagbayag, natay ti ari dagiti tattao a taga-Amnon, ket simmukat nga ari ti anakna a ni Hanun.
After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Kinuna ni David, “Ipakitak ti kinasayaat kenni Hanun nga anak ni Naas, kas iti panangipakita iti amana iti kinasayaatna kaniak.” Isu nga imbaon ni David dagiti adipenna tapno liwliwaenda ni Hanun maipapan iti amana. Simrek dagiti adipen ni David iti daga dagiti tattao a taga-Ammon.
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.
3 Ngem imbaga dagiti pangulo dagiti tattao a taga-Ammon kenni Hanun nga apoda, “Mamatika kadi a raraemen ni David ti amam gapu ta nangibaon iti tattao a mangliwliwa kenka? Saan ngata a nangibaon ni David kadagiti adipenna kenka a mangkita ken mangsiim iti siudad tapno parmekenda daytoy?”
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? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Isu nga impatiliw ni Hanun dagiti adipen ni David, impaahitna ti maysa a bangir dagiti barbasda, pinigisna dagiti pagan-anayda agingga iti patongda, ken pinagawidna ida.
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.
5 Idi inlawlawagda daytoy kenni David, nangibaon isuna iti mangsabat kadakuada, ta kasta unay ti bain dagiti lallaki. Kinuna ti ari, “Agtalinaedkayo idiay Jerico agingga nga umatiddog manen dagiti barbasyo ket agsublikayo.”
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.”
6 Idi naammoan dagiti tattao a taga-Ammon a bimmangsitdan kenni David, nangibaonda iti mensahero ken tinangdananda dagiti Arameo iti Berehob ken Soba, 20, 000 a magmagna a soldado, ken ti ari ti Maaca nga addaan iti 1, 000 a tattaona, ken dagiti tattao a taga-Tob nga addaan iti 12, 000 pay a lallaki.
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.
7 Idi nangegan ni David daytoy, imbaonna ni Joab ken amin nga armada dagiti soldado.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Rimmuar dagiti Ammonita ket nagpuestoda a makigubat iti pagserrekan iti ruangan ti siudadda, kabayatan a dagiti Arameo a taga-Soba, taga-Rehob, ken dagiti lallaki a taga-Tob ken Maaca ket nakapuesto iti nalawa a tay-ak.
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.
9 Idi makita ni Joab dagiti nakapuesto a makigubat a naisaaden kenkuana iti sango ken likodanna, nangpili isuna kadagiti kalalaingan a mannakigubat ti Israel ket impuestona ida maibusor kadagiti Arameo.
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.
10 Intedna met dagiti nabatbati iti armada iti panangbilin ni Abisai a kabsatna ket pinagpuestona ida a maibusor iti armada ti Ammon.
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.
11 Kinuna ni Joab, “No napigsa unay dagiti Arameo para kaniak, masapul ngarud a tulongannak, sika Abisai.” Ngem no napigsa unay ti armada ti Ammon para kenka, umayak ngarud ket tulonganka.
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.
12 Papigsaenyo ti pakinakemyo ken ipakitatayo a napigsatayo para kadagiti tattaotayo ken para kadagiti siudad iti Diostayo, ta aramiden ni Yahweh no ania ti naimbag para iti panggepna.”
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.”
13 Isu a dimmarup ni Joab ken dagiti soldado ti armadana maibusor kadagiti Arameo, a napilitan a naglibas manipud iti armada ti Israel.
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14 Idi makita ti armada ti Ammon a naglibas dagiti Arameo, naglibasda met manipud kenni Abisai ket nagsublida iti siudad. Kalpasanna, nagsubli ni Joab manipud kadagiti tattao a taga-Ammon ket nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
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.
15 Ket idi nakita dagiti Arameo a parparmeken idan ti Israel, nagtitiponda manen.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ni Adadezer para kadagiti bunggoy ti Arameo manipud pay iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates. Napanda iti Helam, kaduada ni Sobac a pangulo iti armada ni Adadezer iti sangoda.
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.
17 Idi naipadamag daytoy kenni David, inummongna amin nga Israel, bimmalasiwda iti Jordan ket nakadanonda idiay Helam. Nagpuesto a makigubat dagiti Arameo maibusor kenni David ket ginubatda isuna.
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.
18 Naglibas manipud iti Israel dagiti Arameo. Pinatay ni David iti 700 a soldado a nakakarwahe ken 40, 000 a nakakabalio a soldado. Nasugatan ni Sobac a pangulo iti armadada ket natay sadiay.
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.
19 Idi nakita dagiti ari nga agserserbi kenni Adadezer a pinarmek idan ti Israel, nakikappiada ken nagpaiturayda iti Israel. Isu a mabutengen dagiti Arameo a tumulong pay kadagiti tattao ti Ammon.
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.
