2 Samoela 10
1 Ie añe, le nivilasy ty mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo, vaho nandimbe aze ho mpifehe t’i Khanone, anadahi’ey.
It came about later that the king of the people of Ammon died, and that Hanun his son became king in his place.
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.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun concerning his father. His servants entered the land of the people 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.
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their master, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Has not David sent his servants to you to look at the city, to spy it out, in order to 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.
So Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half their beards, cut off their garments up to their 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 they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, 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.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had become a stench to David, the people of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob and Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.
7 Aa ie jinanji’ i Davide, le nirahe’e t’Ioabe, naho ty valobohò’ o fanalolahio.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of soldiers.
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.
The Ammonites came out and formed a line of battle at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, stood by themselves in the open fields.
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;
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
10 nafanto’e am-pità’ i Abisay rahalahi’e ty ila’ ondatio, vaho nalaha’e hiatreke o nte-Amoneo.
The rest of his people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he set them out in position to fight against the army 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.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
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 strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good for his purpose.”
13 Aa le nañarine hiatreatre amo nte-Arameo t’Ioabe naho o mpiama’eo vaho nitriban-day aolo’eo iereo.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
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.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back to Jerusalem.
15 Ie trea’ o nte-Arameo te ginio’ Israele, le nifanontoñe.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together again.
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.
Then Hadarezer sent for Aramean troops from beyond the Euphrates River. They came to Helam, and Shobak, the commander of Hadarezer's army, went before them.
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.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and arrived at Helam. The Arameans arranged themselves in battle lines against David and fought 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.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their men in chariots and forty thousand horsemen. Shobak the commander of their army was wounded and died there.
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.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So the Arameans were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
