Pirmā Laiku 19
1 Un notikās pēc tam, ka Nahas, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, nomira, un viņa dēls palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
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.
[When] David [heard about that, he] thought [to himself], “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that he was sorry to hear that Hanun’s father [had died]. But when David’s officials came to Hanun in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
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?
the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is really to honor your father that King David is sending these men to say that he is sorry that your father died? [We think that] his men have come to (look around/spy) our city in order to determine how his [army] can conquer us.”
4 Tad Anons ņēma Dāvida kalpus un tiem nodzina bārdu un viņiem nogrieza vienu drēbju pusi līdz gurniem un tos atlaida.
Hanun [believed what they said, so he commanded some soldiers to] seize the officials whom David had sent, and shave off their beards, and [insult them by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, and then send them away. [So his soldiers did that].
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.
The officials were greatly humiliated/ashamed. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent some messengers to them to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
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.
Then the [leaders of the] Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David. So Hanun and some of his officials sent about (37,000 pounds/34,000 kg.) of silver to hire chariots and chariot-drivers from [the] Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Maacah and Zobah [regions of Syria northeast of Israel].
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.
They hired 32,000 chariots and chariot-drivers, as well as the king of [the] Maacah [region] and his army. They came and set up their tents near Medeba [town in Moab region]. The soldiers from the Ammon people-group also marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) [at the entrance to their capital city, Rabbah].
8 Kad nu Dāvids to dzirdēja, tad viņš sūtīja Joabu un visu spēku ar tiem vareniem.
When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
9 Un Amona bērni izgāja un nostājās uz kauju priekš pilsētas vārtiem. Bet tie ķēniņi, kas bija nākuši, turējās savrup laukā.
The soldiers of the Ammon people-group came out of their city and lined up for battle at the entrance to [their capital city, Rabbah]. Meanwhile, the other kings who had come [with their armies] stood in their positions in the open fields.
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.
Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he selected some of the best Israeli troops and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
11 Bet tos citus ļaudis viņš deva Abizajam, savam brālim, rokā, un tie nostājās pret Amona bērniem.
He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of his other soldiers and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
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.
Joab said to them, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, then your soldiers must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat them, then my soldiers will come and help your men.
13 Turies droši un lai stipri cīnāmies priekš saviem ļaudīm un priekš sava Dieva pilsētām, un Tas Kungs lai dara, kā tam patīk.
We must be strong/courageous, and fight hard to [defend] our people and our cities (that belong to/where we worship) our God. I will pray that Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”
14 Un Joabs nāca tuvāki ar saviem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija, kauties ar Sīriešiem, bet tie bēga viņa priekšā.
So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
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 soldiers of the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab [and his army] returned 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.
After [the leaders of the army of] Syria realized that they had been defeated by [the army of] Israel, they sent messengers to [another part of Syria on] the east side of the [Euphrates] river, and brought troops from there [to the battle area], with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.
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.
When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River]. They advanced and took their battle positions to attack the army of Syria.
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.
But the army of Syria ran away from the soldiers of Israel. However, David’s soldiers killed 7,000 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also killed Shophach, their army commander.
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.
When the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli army, they made peace with David, and agreed to allow him to rule them. So the rulers of Syria did not want to help the rulers of the Ammon people-group any more.
