< Otra Samuela 10 >
1 Un pēc tam Amona bērnu ķēniņš nomira, un viņa dēls Anons palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
2 Tad Dāvids sacīja: es darīšu žēlastību pie Anona, Nahasa dēla, tā kā viņa tēvs žēlastību darījis pie manis. Un Dāvids nosūtīja un lika viņu iepriecināt caur saviem kalpiem par viņa tēvu; un Dāvida kalpi nāca uz Amona bērnu zemi.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people of Ammon.
3 Tad Amona bērnu lielkungi sacīja uz savu kungu Anonu: vai Dāvids tavu tēvu godina tavās acīs, ka viņš ir sūtījis iepriecinātājus pie tevis? Vai Dāvids savus kalpus nav tāpēc sūtījis pie tevis, ka viņš šo pilsētu izklausa un izlūko un izposta?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order to overthrow it?”
4 Tad Anons ņēma Dāvida kalpus un tiem nodzina pusbārdu un tiem nogrieza vienu drēbju pusi līdz pašiem gurniem un tos atlaida.
So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Kad tas nu Dāvidam tapa zināms, tad viņš tiem sūtīja pretī, jo šie vīri bija ļoti apsmieti. Un ķēniņš tiem lika sacīt: palieciet Jērikū, tiekams jūsu bārda būs ataugusi, un tad nāciet atpakaļ.
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Kad nu Amona bērni redzēja, ka tie bija palikuši smirdoši pie Dāvida, tad Amona bērni nosūtīja un saderēja no BetRekabas Sīriešiem un no Cobas Sīriešiem divdesmit tūkstoš kājniekus un no Maākas ķēniņa tūkstoš vīrus un no Tobas vīriem divpadsmit tūkstoš vīrus.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.
7 Kad Dāvids to dzirdēja, tad viņš sūtīja Joabu un visu to vareno karaspēku.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
8 Un Amona bērni izgāja un taisījās uz kaušanos vārtu priekšā, bet tie Sīrieši no Cobas un Rekabas un tie vīri no Tobas un Maākas bija vieni paši savrup laukā.
The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
9 Kad nu Joabs redzēja, ka karš pret viņu taisījās no priekšas un no aizmugures, tad viņš izlasīja no visiem jauniem Israēla vīriem un nostājās Sīriešiem pretī.
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
10 Un tos citus ļaudis viņš deva savam brālim Abizajum rokā, un tas nostājās pret Amona bērniem. Un viņš sacīja:
The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army of Ammon.
11 Ja Sīrieši būs stiprāki nekā es, tad nāc tu man palīgā, bet ja Amona bērni būs stiprāki nekā tu, tad es tev iešu palīgā.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
12 Turies stipri un lai stipri stāvam priekš mūsu ļaudīm un priekš mūsu Dieva pilsētām, bet Tas Kungs lai dara, kā Viņam labi patīk.
Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
13 Un Joabs ar tiem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija, gāja kauties Sīriešiem virsū, bet šie bēga viņa priekšā.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
14 Un kad Amona bērni to redzēja, ka Sīrieši bēga, tad tie arīdzan bēga Abizajus priekšā un nāca pilsētā, un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no Amona bērniem un nāca uz Jeruzālemi.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
15 Kad nu Sīrieši redzēja, ka Israēla priekšā bija sakauti, tad tie atkal sapulcējās.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
16 Un HadadEzers nosūtīja un lika tiem Sīriešiem nākt, kas bija viņpus upes, un tie nāca uz Elamu, un Zobaks, HadadEzera kara lielskungs, gāja viņu priekšā.
Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, went before them.
17 Kad tas Dāvidam tapa sacīts, tad viņš sapulcināja visu Israēli un pārgāja pār Jardāni un nāca uz Elamu, un Sīrieši nostājās Dāvidam pretī un ar to kāvās.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought him.
18 Bet Sīrieši bēga Israēla priekšā, un Dāvids nokāva no Sīriešiem septiņsimt ratus un četrdesmit tūkstoš jātniekus; viņš sita arī Zobaku, viņu kara lielkungu, ka tas tur nomira.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and died there.
19 Kad nu visi ķēniņi, kas bija HadadEzera kalpi, redzēja, ka bija sakauti Israēla priekšā, tad tie derēja mieru ar Israēli un viņam kalpoja, un Sīrieši bijās, uz priekšu nākt palīgā Amona bērniem.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
