2 Samuel 10
1 Sesudah itu matilah raja bani Amon; dan Hanun, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
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,
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 people 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?"
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to 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.
So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their 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 David was told, 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 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, disuruhnyalah Yoab maju dengan segenap pasukan pahlawan.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
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.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, 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.
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 Arameans:
10 Selebihnya dari rakyat itu ditempatkannya di bawah pimpinan Abisai, adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan bani Amon itu.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people 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.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."
13 Lalu Yoab dan tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia maju berperang melawan orang Aram dan orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapannya.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ketika orang Aram melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka berkumpullah mereka bersama-sama.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they 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.
Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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,
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with 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.
but fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
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.
When all the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
