2 Samoela 10
1 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia maty ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka Hanona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Ary nony ren’ i Davida izany, dia naniraka an’ i Joaba sy ny miaramila rehetra izy, dia ny lehilahy mahery.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of 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.
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 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.
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 Ary ny olona sisa kosa nomeny ho entin’ i Abisay rahalahiny halahany hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
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 Ary hoy izy: Raha tsy tohako ny Syriana, dia vonjeo aho; fa raha tsy tohanao kosa ny taranak’ i Amona, dia hovonjeko ianao.
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 Mahereza ary, ka aoka hitombandahy isika ho an’ ny firenentsika sy ny tanànan’ Andriamanitsika; ary aoka Jehovah hanao izay sitrapony.
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 Ary Joaba sy ny olona nanaraka azy nandroso hiady amin’ ny Syriana; ary dia nandositra niala teo anoloany ireo.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled 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.
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 Ary nony hitan’ ny Syriana fa resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia nivory izy.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
