1 Tantara 19
1 Ie añe izay le nivilasy t’i Nakase mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo, le nandimbe aze nifehe i ana-dahi’ey.
And it came to pass after this, that Nachash the king of the children of 'Ammon died, and his son became king in his stead.
2 Le hoe t’i Davide: ho tretrezeko t’i Kanone ana’ i Nakase amy te nitretrezen-drae’e. Aa le nañitrifa’ i Davide ìrake hañohò aze ty aman-drae’e. Aa le nimb’an-tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo mb’ amy Kanone ao o mpitoro’ i Davideo hañohò’ aze,
And David said, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, because his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came unto the land of the children of 'Ammon to Chanun, to comfort him.
3 fe hoe o roandria’ o ana’ i Amoneo amy Kanone; Atao’o te hiasy an-drae’o hao t’i Davide, ie nañihitrifa’e mpañohò? tsy mone nimb’ ama’o mb’etoy i mpitoro’e rey hijilojilo naho hitsoetsoeke vaho hitingatingañe an-tane atoy?
And the princes of the children of 'Ammon said unto Chanun, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee in order to search out, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4 Aa le rinambe’ i Kanone i mpitoro’ i Davide rey vaho niharate’e naho tinampa’e añivo o saro’eo, pak’ am-piambesara’e vaho nanoe’e soike.
Chanun thereupon took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle as far as the hip-bone, and sent them away.
5 Nimb’eo amy zao ty nitalily amy Davide i nanoañe indaty reiy. Le nirahe’e ty hifanalaka ama’e; fa loho salatse indaty rey. Le hoe i mpanjakay, Mandiñisa e Ieriko ao ampara’ te mitombo o tateahe’ areoo, izay vaho mimpoly.
And some people went and told David concerning these men. And 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 Ie napota’ o ana’ i Amoneo t’ie mañati-fofots’ amy Davide, le nihitrife’ i Kanone naho o ana’ i Amoneo ty volafoty arivo hañaramà’ iareo sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala boake Arame-naharaime naho boak’e Arame-maakà vaho boak’ amy Tsobà.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, Chanun and the children of 'Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves from Mesopotamia, and from Syria-ma'achah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen.
7 Aa le nañeke sarete telo-ale-tsi-ro’arivo naho ty mpanjaka’ i Maakà rekets’ ondati’eo; le nimb’e Medebà mb’eo iereo vaho nitobe. Nifanontoñe ka o ana’ i Amone boak’ an-drova’eo, le nimb’eo hialy.
And they hired for themselves thirty and two thousand [warriors in] chariots, and the king of Ma'achah and his people: and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of 'Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to the battle.
8 Ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nirahe’e mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ze fonga fanalolahy amy valobohokey.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army [and] the mighty men.
9 Niavotse o ana’ i Amoneo nandahatse i aliy an-dalambei’ i rovay vaho niereñereñe an-kivoke ey o mpanjaka niavio.
And the children of 'Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10 Ie nizoe’ Ioabe te niatrek’ aze aolo naho amboho’ i hotakotakey, le jinobo’e iaby ty fanalolahi’ Israele vaho nampiatrefe’e amo nte-Arameo.
When now Joab saw that the front of battle was against him before and behind, he made a selection from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians.
11 Nafanto’e ho am-pità’ i Abisay rahalahi’e ondaty ila’eo le sindre nilahatse hiatreke amo ana’ i Amoneo.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abshai his brother, and they arrayed themselves against the children of 'Ammon.
12 Aa hoe re, Naho loho maozatse amako o nte-Arameo le ihe ty hañolotse ahy; aa naho maozatse te ama’o ka o ana’ i Amoneo le izaho ty hañolotse azo.
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 help thee.
13 Mahasibeha le antao tika hamente t’ie maozatse ho am’ondatin-tikañeo naho ho amo rovan’ Añaharen-tikañeo; le hanoe’ Iehovà ze arofoana’e hahasoa.
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.
14 Aa le niheo mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ondaty mpiama’eo nihotakotak’ amo nte Arameo, ie nitriban-day aolo’e eo.
And Joab drew nigh and the people that were with him in front of the Syrians unto the battle, and they fled from before him.
15 Aa ie nioni’ o ana’ i Amoneo te nilay añe o nte-Arameo le nilay añatrefa’ i Abisay, rahalahi’e ka vaho nimoak’ an-drova ao. Aa le nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe t’Ioabe.
And when the children of 'Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abshai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab went back to Jerusalem.
16 Ie nirendre’ o nte-Arameo te ginio’ Israele, le nañitrike ìrake, nangalake o nte-Arame alafe’ i Sakaio, rekets’ i Sopake mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ i Hadadezere ho mpiaolo.
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the army of Hadar'ezer went before them.
17 Natalily amy Davide, le natonto’e iaby t’Israele naho nitsake Iordaney mb’eo naho nivotrak’ am’ iereo vaho nalaha’e am’ iereo i hotakotakey. Aa ie nalaha’ i Davide amo nte-Arameo i aley le nifandrapaha’e.
And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came up with them, and arrayed himself against them. So when David had arrayed himself against the Syrians [for] battle, they fought with him.
18 Nilay añ’ atrefa’ Israele o nte-Arameo; le zinevo’ i Davide ty fito-arivo amo nte-Arame an-tsareteo naho ty efats-ale an-tomboke vaho vinono’e t’i Sopake mpifehe’ i valobohòkey.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand men on foot, and Shophach the captain of the army he put to death.
19 Ie tendrek’ amo mpitoro’ i Haderezereo te ginio’ Israele, le nifampilongo amy Davide naho nitoroñe aze vaho tsy nimete handrombake o ana’ i Amoneo ka o nte-Arameo.
And when the vassals of Hadar'ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: and the Syrians would not help the children of 'Ammon any more.
