< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 Så hendte det at Ammons barns konge døde, og Hanun, hans sønn, blev konge i hans sted.
And it was after thus and he died [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned Hanun son his in place his.
2 Da sa David: Jeg vil vise Hanun, Nahas' sønn, vennskap, likesom hans far viste mig vennskap. Og David sendte nogen av sine tjenere for å trøste ham i hans sorg over sin far. Så kom da Davids tjenere til Ammons barns land.
And he said David I will do covenant loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash just as he did father his with me covenant loyalty and he sent David to comfort him by [the] hand of servants his concerning father his and they came [the] servants of David [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.
3 Da sa Ammons barns høvdinger til Hanun, sin herre: Tror du det er for å ære din far at David har sendt folk som skal trøste dig? Mon det ikke heller er for å utforske byen og utspeide den og så ødelegge den at David har sendt sine tjenere til dig?
And they said [the] leaders of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun lord their ¿ honoring [is] David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore the city and to spy on it and to overthrow it has he sent David servants his to you.
4 Da tok Hanun Davids tjenere og raket av halvdelen av deres skjegg og skar av deres klær midt på like til setet og lot dem så fare.
And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved half of beard their and he cut off robes their at the middle to buttocks their and he sent away them.
5 Da dette blev meldt David, sendte han folk som skulde møte mennene, for de var grovelig vanæret; og kongen lot si: Bli i Jeriko til eders skjegg er vokset ut igjen, og kom så tilbake!
And people told to David and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated very and he said the king remain at Jericho until it will grow back beard your and you will return.
6 Da nu Ammons barn så at de hadde gjort sig forhatt hos David, sendte de bud og leide syrerne fra Bet-Rehob og syrerne fra Soba, tyve tusen mann fotfolk, og kongen i Ma'aka med tusen mann og tolv tusen mann fra Tob.
And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and they sent [the] people of Ammon and they hired Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah twenty thousand foot soldier[s] and [the] king of Maacah one thousand man and [the] man of Tob two [plus] ten thousand man.
7 Da David hørte dette, sendte han Joab avsted med hele hæren, de krigsvante menn.
And he heard David and he sent Joab and all the army the warriors.
8 Og Ammons barn rykket ut og stilte sig i fylking foran byporten; men syrerne fra Soba og Rehob og mennene fra Tob og Ma'aka stod for sig selv på marken.
And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the gate and Aram Zobah and Rehob and [the] man of Tob and Maacah to alone them [were] in the open country.
9 Da Joab så at han hadde fienden mot sig både foran og bak, valgte han ut en del av alt det utvalgte mannskap i Israel og stilte dem op mot syrerne.
And he saw Joab that it was against him [the] face of the battle from before and from behind and he chose some of all [the] chosen [men] (of Israel *Q(K)*) and he deployed [them] to meet Aram.
10 Men resten av folket overgav han til sin bror Abisai og stilte dem op mot Ammons barn.
And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and he deployed [them] to meet [the] people of Ammon.
11 Og han sa: Dersom syrerne blir mig for sterke, skal du komme mig til hjelp, og dersom Ammons barn blir dig for sterke, skal jeg komme og hjelpe dig.
And he said if it will be [too] strong Aram for me and you will become of me deliverance and if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will come to deliver you.
12 Vær modig, og la oss vise oss modige i striden for vårt folk og for vår Guds byer, så får Herren gjøre hvad som er godt i hans øine!
Be strong so we may show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh he will do the good in view his.
13 Så rykket Joab frem med sine folk til strid mot syrerne, og de flyktet for ham.
And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him for battle in Aram and they fled from before him.
14 Og da Ammons barn så at syrerne flyktet, så flyktet også de for Abisai og drog sig inn i byen. Da vendte Joab tilbake fra striden mot Ammons barn og kom til Jerusalem.
And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled from before Abishai and they went the city and he returned Joab from on [the] people of Ammon and he came Jerusalem.
15 Da syrerne så at de var blitt slått av Israel, samlet de sig igjen.
And it saw Aram that it was defeated before Israel and they gathered themselves together.
16 Og Hadadeser sendte bud at de syrere som bodde på hin side av elven, skulde rykke ut; de kom til Helam, og Sobak, høvdingen over Hadadesers hær, førte dem.
And he sent Hadadezer and he brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the River and they came Helam and Shobach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.
17 Da dette blev meldt David, samlet han hele Israel og gikk over Jordan og kom til Helam; og syrerne stilte sig op mot David og stred mot ham.
And it was told to David. And he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came Helam towards and they deployed Aram to meet David and they did battle with him.
18 Men syrerne flyktet for Israel, og David drepte blandt syrerne mannskapet på syv hundre vogner og firti tusen hestfolk, og Sobak, deres hærfører, såret han, så han døde der.
And it fled Aram from before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven hundred charioteer[s] and forty thousand horsemen and Shobach [the] commander of army its he struck down and he died there.
19 Og da alle kongene som stod under Hadadeser, så at de var blitt slått av Israel, gjorde de fred med Israel og blev deres tjenere; og syrerne vågde ikke å hjelpe Ammons barn mere.
And they saw all the kings [the] servants of Hadadezer that they were defeated before Israel and they made peace with Israel and they served them and they were afraid Aram to deliver again [the] people of Ammon.
