2 Samoela 10
1 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia maty ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka Hanona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and Chanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Ary hoy Davida: Hanisy soa an’ i Hanona, zanak’ i Nahasy, aho, toy ny soa nataon-drainy tamiko. Ary Davida naniraka ny mpanompony hitsapa alahelo azy ny amin-drainy. Ary tonga tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona ny mpanompon’ i Davida.
Then said David, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, as his father showed me kindness. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon.
3 Ary hoy ireo mpanapaka ny taranak’ i Amona tamin’ i Hanona tompony: Moa ataonao ho fanajana ny rainao no anirahan’ i Davida hitsapa alahelo anao? Fa tsy hizaha ny tanàna sy hisafo azy ary handrava azy va no nanirahan’ i Davida ireo mpanompony ireo hankatỳ aminao?
And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun their Lord, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee! hath David not sent his servants unto thee, in order to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Dia nosamborin’ i Hanona ny mpanompon’ i Davida, ka noharatany ny ila-somony, sady nofolonany hatreo amin’ ny foto-peny ny akanjony, ka dia nalefany hody izy.
Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved off the one-half of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Ary dia nisy lasa nanambara izany tamin’ i Davida, ary izy naniraka hitsena azy, fa afa-baraka loatra ireo lehilahy ireo; ka dia hoy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka: Mitoera any Jeriko aloha ambara-panirin’ ny somotrareo, vao mody ianareo.
When they told it unto David, he sent [persons] to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed; and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown, and then return.
6 Ary nony hitan’ ny taranak’ i Amona fa efa mangidy hoditra eo anatrehan’ i Davida izy, dia naniraka nanakarama ny Syriana any Beti-rehoba sy ny Syriana any Zoba izy, dia miaramila an-tongotra roa alina, ary tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Maka, olona arivo lahy, ary tamin’ ny olona tany Toba, roa arivo sy iray alina.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, the children of 'Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rechob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand men on foot, and the king of Ma'achah with a thousand men, and of the people of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Ary nony ren’ i Davida izany, dia naniraka an’ i Joaba sy ny miaramila rehetra izy, dia ny lehilahy mahery.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army, [and] the mighty men.
8 Ary ny taranak’ i Amona nivoaka ka nilahatra hiady teo anoloan’ ny vavahady; ary ny Syriana avy any Zoba sy Rehoba sy ny olona avy tany Toba ary Maka nitokana teny an-tsaha kosa.
And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle-array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rechob, and the people of Tob and Ma'achah, were by themselves in the field.
9 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Joaba fa teo anoloany sady teo ivohony ny fahavalo, dia nifidy olona tamin’ ireo voafantina tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izy, ka nalahany hiady tamin’ ny Syriana.
When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians:
10 Ary ny olona sisa kosa nomeny ho entin’ i Abisay rahalahiny halahany hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, who arrayed himself against the children of 'Ammon.
11 Ary hoy izy: Raha tsy tohako ny Syriana, dia vonjeo aho; fa raha tsy tohanao kosa ny taranak’ i Amona, dia hovonjeko ianao.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of 'Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I go to help thee.
12 Mahereza ary, ka aoka hitombandahy isika ho an’ ny firenentsika sy ny tanànan’ Andriamanitsika; ary aoka Jehovah hanao izay sitrapony.
Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God: and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes.
13 Ary Joaba sy ny olona nanaraka azy nandroso hiady amin’ ny Syriana; ary dia nandositra niala teo anoloany ireo.
And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled from before him.
14 Ary nony hitan’ ny taranak’ i Amona fa nandositra ny Syriana, dia mba nandositra koa izy niala teo anoloan’ i Abisay ka niditra tao an-tanàna. Ary Joaba niverina avy namely ny taranak’ i Amona ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abishai, and entered into the city. Joab then returned from the children of 'Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ary nony hitan’ ny Syriana fa resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia nivory izy.
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves altogether.
16 Ary Hadadezera naniraka naka ny Syriana izay tany an-dafin’ ny Ony; ary dia tonga tany Helama izy; ary Sobaka, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Hadadezera, no nitarika azy.
And Hadar'ezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river, and they came to Chelam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
17 Ary nony nambara tamin’ i Davida izany, dia nampamory ny Isiraely rehetra izy ka lasa nita an’ i Jordana, dia tonga tany Helama. Ary nilahatra ny Syriana hiady amin’ i Davida, ka dia rafitra ny ady.
And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Chelam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle-array against David, and fought with him.
18 Ary vaky nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely ny Syriana, ka nahafaty ny tao an-kalesy fiton-jato sy ny an-tsoavaly efatra alina tamin’ ny Syriana Davida sady namely an’ i Sobaka koa, ilay komandin’ ny miaramila, ka nahafaty azy teo.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men] of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen; and Shobach also the captain of their army he smote, and he died there.
19 Ary nony hitan’ ny mpanjaka rehetra izay nanoa an’ i Hadadezera fa resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny Isiraely izy ireo ka nanompo azy. Dia natahotra ny Syriana, ka tsy nety namonjy ny taranak’ i Amona intsony.
And when all the kings, the vassals to Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them: and the Syrians feared to help the children of 'Ammon any more.
