Pirmā Laiku 19

1 Un notikās pēc tam, ka Nahas, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, nomira, un viņa dēls palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.

Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

2 Tad Dāvids sacīja: es darīšu žēlastību pie Anona, Nahasa dēla, jo viņa tēvs žēlastību darījis pie manis. Un Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus, viņu iepriecināt par viņa tēvu. Tad Dāvida kalpi nāca uz Amona bērnu zemi pie Anona, viņu iepriecināt.

And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.

3 Bet Amona bērnu lielkungi sacīja uz Anonu: vai Dāvids godina tavu tēvu tavās acīs, ka tas sūtījis pie tevis iepriecētājus? Vai viņa kalpi nav tāpēc pie tevis nākuši, ka zemi izklausa un izposta un izlūko?

But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it?

4 Tad Anons ņēma Dāvida kalpus un tiem nodzina bārdu un viņiem nogrieza vienu drēbju pusi līdz gurniem un tos atlaida.

So Hanun took David's servants, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, sent them away.

5 Un tie aizgāja. Un kad nu Dāvidam ziņu deva par tiem vīriem, tad viņš tiem sūtīja pretī, (jo tie vīri bija ļoti apsmieti, ) un ķēniņš tiem lika sacīt: paliekat Jērikū, tiekams jūsu bārda atkal būs ataugusi, tad nāciet atpakaļ.

Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

6 Kad nu Amona bērni redzēja, ka bija palikuši smirdoši Dāvida priekšā, tad Anons un Amona bērni sūtīja tūkstoš sudraba talentus, saderēt ratus un jātniekus no Mezopotamijas, no Maēkas un no Cobas.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.

7 Un tie sev saderēja trīsdesmit un divi tūkstoš ratus un to ķēniņu no Maēkas un viņa ļaudis, un tie nāca un apmeta lēģeri pret Medbu. Un Amona bērni arīdzan sapulcējās no savām pilsētām un nāca karā.

So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

8 Kad nu Dāvids to dzirdēja, tad viņš sūtīja Joabu un visu spēku ar tiem vareniem.

And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.

9 Un Amona bērni izgāja un nostājās uz kauju priekš pilsētas vārtiem. Bet tie ķēniņi, kas bija nākuši, turējās savrup laukā.

So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

10 Kad nu Joabs redzēja, ka karš pret viņu taisījās no priekšas un no aizmugures, tad viņš izlasīja kādus no Israēla jauniem vīriem un nostājās Sīriešiem pretī.

Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

11 Bet tos citus ļaudis viņš deva Abizajam, savam brālim, rokā, un tie nostājās pret Amona bērniem.

And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

12 Un viņš sacīja: ja Sīrieši būs stiprāki nekā es, tad nāc tu man palīgā, bet ja Amona bērni būs stiprāki nekā tu, tad es nākušu tev palīgā.

And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.

13 Turies droši un lai stipri cīnāmies priekš saviem ļaudīm un priekš sava Dieva pilsētām, un Tas Kungs lai dara, kā tam patīk.

Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.

14 Un Joabs nāca tuvāki ar saviem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija, kauties ar Sīriešiem, bet tie bēga viņa priekšā.

So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

15 Un kad Amona bērni redzēja, kā Sīrieši bēga, tad tie arīdzan bēga priekš Abizajus, viņa brāļa, un tie nāca pilsētā, un Joabs nāca uz Jeruzālemi.

And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem.

16 Kad nu Sīrieši redzēja, ka Israēla priekšā bija sakauti, tad tie sūtīja vēstnešus un lika nākt tiem Sīriešiem, kas viņpus upes dzīvoja, un Šofahs, HadadEzera kara lielskungs, gāja viņu priekšā.

And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

17 Kad to Dāvidam teica, tad viņš sapulcēja visu Israēli un pārgāja pār Jardāni, un nāca pie tiem un nostājās tiem pretī. Un Dāvids nostājās Sīriešiem pretī uz kauju, un tie ar viņu kāvās.

And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

18 Bet Sīrieši bēga Israēla priekšā, un Dāvids nokāva no Sīriešiem septiņ tūkstoš ratus un četrdesmit tūkstoš kājniekus; viņš nokāva arī Šofahu, to kara lielkungu.

And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the army.

19 Kad nu HadadEzera kalpi redzēja, ka Israēla priekšā bija sakauti, tad tie derēja mieru ar Dāvidu un viņam kalpoja. Un Sīrieši negribēja vairs Amona bērniem palīdzēt.

And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.
