2 Samuel 10
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Nahas raja Amon meninggal, dan Hanun putranya menjadi raja.
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 Lalu berkatalah Raja Daud, "Nahas adalah sahabatku yang setia. Jadi aku harus bersahabat juga dengan Hanun anaknya." Karena itu Daud mengirim utusan ke negeri Amon untuk menghibur Hanun atas kematian ayahnya.
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 Ketika mereka sampai di Amon, para pemimpin negeri itu berkata kepada Raja Hanun, "Janganlah Baginda berpikir Daud mengirim utusannya itu karena ia mau menghormati ayah Baginda! Ia mengirim orang-orang itu ke mari sebagai mata-mata untuk menyelidiki kota ini, supaya dapat merebutnya."
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 Lalu Hanun menangkap para utusan Daud itu, mencukur jenggot mereka sebelah, memotong pakaian mereka sependek pinggul, dan menyuruh mereka pergi.
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 Tetapi mereka malu untuk pulang ke negeri mereka. Ketika hal itu diberitahukan kepada Daud, ia mengirim pesan supaya utusan-utusan itu tinggal di Yerikho sampai jenggot mereka tumbuh lagi.
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 Kemudian orang Amon menyadari bahwa perbuatan mereka menyebabkan Daud memusuhi mereka. Sebab itu mereka menyewa 20.000 orang prajurit Siria yang tinggal di Bet-Rehob dan Zoba, juga 12.000 orang prajurit dari Tob, serta raja negeri Maakha dengan 1.000 orang anak buahnya.
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 Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, ia menyuruh Yoab dengan seluruh angkatan perangnya maju melawan musuh.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men.
8 Orang Amon ke luar dan mengatur barisannya di depan pintu gerbang Raba ibukota mereka, sedangkan orang Siria, orang Tob dan Maakha mengatur barisan mereka di padang.
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 Yoab melihat bahwa ia terjepit oleh pasukan musuh di depan dan di belakang. Karena itu ia memilih tentara Israel yang terbaik dan menempatkan mereka berhadap-hadapan dengan tentara Siria.
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 Selebihnya dari tentara Israel diserahkannya kepada Abisai adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadap-hadapan dengan tentara Amon.
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 Yoab berkata kepada adiknya itu, "Jika aku tidak sanggup lagi bertahan terhadap tentara Siria, cepatlah tolong aku; sebaliknya, jika engkau tidak sanggup lagi bertahan terhadap tentara Amon, aku akan datang menolongmu.
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 Tabahlah! Mari kita berjuang dengan berani untuk bangsa kita dan untuk kota-kota Allah kita. Semoga TUHAN melakukan apa yang dikehendaki-Nya."
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 Yoab dan pasukannya maju menyerang, sehingga tentara Siria lari.
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
14 Ketika orang Amon melihat tentara Siria melarikan diri, mereka juga lari dari Abisai dan mundur ke dalam kota. Setelah memerangi orang Amon, Yoab pulang ke Yerusalem.
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 Orang Siria sadar bahwa mereka telah dikalahkan oleh orang Israel, sebab itu mereka memanggil segenap pasukannya supaya berkumpul lagi.
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
16 Lalu Raja Hadadezer menyuruh memanggil orang Siria yang ada di sebelah timur Sungai Efrat, maka datanglah mereka ke Helam di bawah pimpinan Sobakh, panglima tentara Raja Hadadezer dari Zoba.
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 Mendengar hal itu, Daud segera mengumpulkan seluruh pasukan Israel, lalu menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, kemudian maju ke Helam. Di situ orang Siria mengatur barisan mereka lalu maju menyerang pasukan Daud.
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 Tetapi orang Israel memukul mundur tentara Siria. Daud dan pasukannya menewaskan 700 orang pengemudi kereta perang, dan 40.000 orang tentara berkuda; selain itu Sobakh panglima tentara musuh luka parah sehingga gugur di medan pertempuran.
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 Ketika raja-raja yang dikuasai Hadadezer melihat bahwa mereka dikalahkan oleh tentara Israel, mereka minta berdamai lalu takluk kepada orang Israel. Sejak itu orang Siria tidak berani lagi membantu orang Amon.
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.
