2 Samoela 10
1 Ie añe, le nivilasy ty mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo, vaho nandimbe aze ho mpifehe t’i Khanone, anadahi’ey.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Le hoe t’i Davide: Hanolorako isoke t’i Khanone ana’ i Nakase, amy te nañasoa ahy ty rae’e. Aa le nahitri’ i Davide am-pitàm-pitoro’e ty rano manintsiñe hañohòa’e ty aman-drae’e. Le niheo mb’an-tanen’ ana’ i Amone mb’eo o mpitoro’ i Davideo.
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 Fe hoe o ana-dona’ i Amoneo amy Khanone, talè’ iareo: Hiasy an-drae’o hao ty nañitrifa’ i Davide mpañohò ama’o? Te mone nampihitrife’ i Davide hisarisary i rovay o mpitoro’eo handrotsaha’e.
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
4 Aa le rinambe’ i Khanone o mpitoro’ i Davideo naho niharate’e ty vaki’ o somo’eo naho tinampa’e añivo’e o siki’eo pak’ am-piambesara’ iareo, vaho niroahe’e mb’eo.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Ie natalily amy Davide, le nampisangitrifa’e añe, fa nivata’e salatse indaty rey. Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Mandiñisa e Ieriko añe ampara’ te mitombo o tanteahe’ areoo vaho mimpolia.
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Aa ie nioni’ o ana’i Amoneo t’ie nihamantiñe amy Davide, le nañirake o ana’ i Amoneo naho nikaramà’e o nte-Arame e Bete-Rehobeo, naho o nte-Arame e Tsobào, lahindefo ro’ ale, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Maakà reketse lahindefo arivo, vaho o nte-Tobe rai-ale-tsi-ro-arivo.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 Aa ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nirahe’e t’Ioabe, naho ty valobohò’ o fanalolahio.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 Niavotse o ana’ i Amoneo naho hinajari’ iareo am-pimoahañe an-dalambey ey i hotakotakey; le nitokañe an-kivoke ey ka o nte-Arame’ i Tsobào, naho o a i Rekobeo, naho ondati’ i Tobe vaho i Maakào.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
9 Ie nioni’ Ioabe te nilahatse aolo’e naho amboho’e i aliy, le jinobo’e iaby ze fanalolahi’ Israeleo, vaho riniri’e hiatreke amo nte-Arameo;
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 nafanto’e am-pità’ i Abisay rahalahi’e ty ila’ ondatio, vaho nalaha’e hiatreke o nte-Amoneo.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Le hoe re: Naho maozatse te amako o nte-Arameo le oloro, fe naho fatratse te ama’o o ana’ i Amoneo le homb’eo iraho hañimba azo.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
12 Mahavania, ehe te ho ventèñe am’ ondatin-tikañeo naho amo rovan’ Añaharen-tikañeo te maozatse tika; vaho te hanoe’ Iehovà ze arofoana’e ho soa.
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 Aa le nañarine hiatreatre amo nte-Arameo t’Ioabe naho o mpiama’eo vaho nitriban-day aolo’eo iereo.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14 Ie nitrea’ o ana’ i Amone te nibañe añe o nte-Arameo, le nitriban-day añatrefa’ i Abisay ka iereo nimoak’ an-drova ao. Aa le napo’ Ioabe o ana’ i Amoneo naho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ie trea’ o nte-Arameo te ginio’ Israele, le nifanontoñe.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 Le nañirake t’i Kadadetsere, naho nakare’e o nte-Arame alafe’ i sakaio; le nimb’e Kelame mb’eo rekets’ i Sobake, mifehe ty valobohò’ i Kadadetsere ho mpiaolo.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
17 Nitaliliañ’ amy Davide, le natonto’e iaby t’ Israele, naho nitsake Iordaney naho nivotrake e Kelame eo. Nihajarie’ o nte-Arameo ty fanamea’ iareo i Davide vaho nialia’e.
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
18 Nitriban-day aolo’ Israele o nte-Arameo; le zinama’ i Davide ty mpinday sarete fiton-jato, naho mpiningi-tsoavala efats’ ale amo nte-Arameo, naho vinono’e t’i Sobake mpiaolo’ ty valobohò’ iareo vaho nihomak’ eo.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
19 Aa ie nioni’ o mpanjaka mpitoro’ i Kadadetsereo te nahagioke t’Israele, le nifampilongo am’ Israele vaho nitoroñ’ aze. Aa le nihembañe tsy handrombake o ana’ i Amoneo ka o nte-Arameo.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
