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 happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
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,
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, 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?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, 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.
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 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.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
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.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nirahe’e mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ze fonga fanalolahy amy valobohokey.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 Niavotse o ana’ i Amoneo nandahatse i aliy an-dalambei’ i rovay vaho niereñereñe an-kivoke ey o mpanjaka niavio.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had 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.
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.
11 Nafanto’e ho am-pità’ i Abisay rahalahi’e ondaty ila’eo le sindre nilahatse hiatreke amo ana’ i Amoneo.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people 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.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May Jehovah do that which seems good to him."
14 Aa le niheo mb’eo t’Ioabe naho ondaty mpiama’eo nihotakotak’ amo nte Arameo, ie nitriban-day aolo’e eo.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, 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.
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
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.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
