2 Samuel 10
1 Sesudah itu matilah raja bani Amon; dan Hanun, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Lalu berkatalah Daud: "Aku akan menunjukkan persahabatan kepada Hanun bin Nahas, sama seperti ayahnya telah menunjukkan persahabatan kepadaku." Sebab itu Daud menyuruh menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita kepadanya dengan perantaraan pegawai-pegawainya karena kematian ayahnya. Tetapi ketika pegawai-pegawai Daud sampai ke negeri bani Amon itu,
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 berkatalah pemuka-pemuka bani Amon itu kepada Hanun, tuan mereka: "Apakah menurut anggapanmu Daud hendak menghormati ayahmu, karena ia telah mengutus kepadamu orang-orang yang menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita? Bukankah dengan maksud untuk menyelidik kota ini, untuk mengintainya dan menghancurkannya maka Daud mengutus pegawai-pegawainya itu kepadamu?"
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
4 Lalu Hanun menyuruh menangkap pegawai-pegawai Daud itu, disuruhnya mencukur setengah dari janggut mereka dan memotong pakaian mereka pada bagian tengah sampai pantat mereka, kemudian dilepasnya mereka.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Hal ini diberitahukan kepada Daud, lalu disuruhnya orang menemui mereka, sebab orang-orang itu sangat dipermalukan. Raja berkata: "Tinggallah di Yerikho sampai janggutmu itu tumbuh, kemudian datanglah kembali."
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Setelah dilihat bani Amon, bahwa mereka dibenci Daud, maka bani Amon itu menyuruh orang menyewa dari orang Aram-Bet-Rehob dan orang Aram dari Zoba dua puluh ribu orang pasukan berjalan kaki, dari raja negeri Maakha seribu orang dan dari orang-orang Tob dua belas ribu orang.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, disuruhnyalah Yoab maju dengan segenap pasukan pahlawan.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 Lalu bani Amon maju, diaturnya barisan perangnya di depan pintu gerbang, sedang orang Aram dari Zoba dan dari Rehob dan orang-orang Tob dan Maakha ada tersendiri di padang.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
9 Ketika Yoab melihat, bahwa serangan itu mengancam dia dari depan dan dari belakang, maka dipilihnyalah sebagian dari orang pilihan Israel, lalu ia mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan orang Aram itu.
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 Selebihnya dari rakyat itu ditempatkannya di bawah pimpinan Abisai, adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan bani Amon itu.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Lalu berkatalah Yoab: "Jika orang Aram itu lebih kuat dari padaku, maka haruslah engkau menolong aku, tetapi jika bani Amon itu lebih kuat dari padamu, maka aku akan datang menolong engkau.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
12 Kuatkanlah hatimu dan marilah kita menguatkan hati untuk bangsa kita dan untuk kota-kota Allah kita. TUHAN kiranya melakukan yang baik di mata-Nya."
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 Lalu Yoab dan tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia maju berperang melawan orang Aram dan orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapannya.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14 Ketika bani Amon melihat, bahwa orang Aram sudah melarikan diri, maka merekapun larilah dari hadapan Abisai dan masuk ke dalam kota. Sesudah itu pulanglah Yoab setelah memerangi bani Amon dan sampailah ia ke Yerusalem.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ketika orang Aram melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka berkumpullah mereka bersama-sama.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 Juga Hadadezer menyuruh orang Aram yang di seberang sungai Efrat maju berperang; mereka sampai ke Helam di bawah pimpinan Sobakh, panglima tentara Hadadezer.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
17 Setelah hal itu diberitahukan kepada Daud, maka dikumpulkannya seluruh orang Israel, diseberanginya sungai Yordan, lalu sampai ke Helam. Orang Aram mengatur barisannya berhadapan dengan Daud dan bertempur melawan dia,
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
18 tetapi orang Aram itu lari dari hadapan orang Israel, dan Daud membunuh dari orang Aram itu tujuh ratus ekor kuda kereta dan empat puluh ribu orang pasukan berkuda. Sobakh, panglima tentara mereka, dilukainya sedemikian, hingga ia mati di sana.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
19 Ketika dilihat semua raja, yang takluk kepada Hadadezer, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka mereka mengadakan perdamaian dengan orang Israel dan takluk kepada mereka; sesudah itu takutlah orang Aram memberi pertolongan lagi kepada bani Amon.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
