1 Crônicas 19
1 E aconteceu, depois d'isto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos d'Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu logar.
Now it happened that Nahash, the king of the sons of Ammon, died, and his son reigned in his place.
2 Então disse David: Usarei de beneficencia com Hanun, filho de Nahas, porque seu pae usou de beneficencia comigo. Pelo que David enviou mensageiros para o consolarem ácerca de seu pae. E, vindo os servos de David á terra dos filhos de Ammon, a Hanun, para o consolarem,
And David said: “I will act with mercy toward Hanun, the son of Nahash. For his father was gracious to me.” And so David sent messengers to console him over the death of his father. But when they had reached the land of the sons of Ammon, so that they might console Hanun,
3 Disseram os principes dos filhos de Ammon a Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pae aos teus olhos, porque te mandou consoladores? não vieram seus servos a ti, a esquadrinhar, e a transtornar, e a espiar a terra?
the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun: “Do you think that perhaps David has sent them to console you in order to honor your father? Have you not noticed that his servants came to you so that they might explore, and investigate, and examine your land?”
4 Pelo que Hanun tomou os servos de David, e os rapou, e lhes cortou os vestidos no meio até á coxa da perna, e os despediu.
And so Hanun shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and he cut away their tunics from the buttocks to the feet, and he sent them away.
5 E foram-se, e avisaram a David ácerca d'estes homens, e mandou ao encontro d'elles; porque aquelles homens estavam sobremaneira envergonhados. Disse pois o rei: Deixae-vos ficar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba, e então tornae.
And when they had gone, and had sent word to David, (for they had suffered a great disgrace, ) he sent to meet them, and he instructed them that they should remain at Jericho until their beards grew, and then they should return.
6 Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon que se tinham feito odiosos para com David, então enviou Hanun, e os filhos de Ammon, mil talentos de prata, para alugarem para si carros e cavalleiros de Mesopotamia, e da Syria de Maaca, e de Zoba.
Then, when the sons of Ammon realized that they had committed an injury against David, both Hanun and the rest of the people sent one thousand talents of silver, so that they might hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, and from Syrian Maacah, and from Zobah.
7 E alugaram para si trinta e dois mil carros, e o rei de Maaca e a sua gente, e elles vieram, e se acamparam diante de Medeba: tambem os filhos de Ammon se ajuntaram das suas cidades, e vieram para a guerra.
And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people. When these had arrived, they made camp in the region opposite Medeba. Also, the sons of Ammon, gathering from their cities, went to war.
8 O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exercito dos homens valorosos.
And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of strong men.
9 E, saindo os filhos d'Ammon, ordenaram a batalha á porta da cidade: porém os reis que vieram se pozeram á parte no campo.
And the sons of Ammon, going out, set up a battle line before the gate of the city. But the kings who had come to their aid stood separately in the field.
10 E, vendo Joab que a frente da batalha estava contra elle por diante e por detraz, fez escolha d'entre os mais escolhidos de Israel, e os ordenou contra os syros:
And so Joab, understanding the war to be set facing him and behind his back, chose the strongest men from all of Israel, and he went out against the Syrians.
11 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai, seu irmão; e pozeram-se em ordem de batalha contra os filhos d'Ammon.
But the remaining portion of the people he placed under the hand of his brother Abishai. And they went out against the sons of Ammon.
12 E disse: Se os syros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu virás soccorrer-me; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, então eu te soccorrerei a ti.
And he said: “If the Syrians prevail over me, then you shall be a help to me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail over you, I will be a safeguard for you.
13 Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades do nosso Deus, e faça o Senhor o que parecer bem aos seus olhos.
Be strengthened, and let us act manfully on behalf of our people, and on behalf of the cities of our God. And the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
14 Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha comsigo, diante dos syros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
Therefore, Joab, and the people who were with him, went out to battle against the Syrians. And he put them to flight.
15 Vendo pois os filhos d'Ammon que os syros fugiram, tambem elles fugiram de diante de Abisai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade: e veiu Joab para Jerusalem.
Then the sons of Ammon, seeing that the Syrians had fled, also themselves fled from Abishai, his brother, and they entered into the city. And now Joab returned to Jerusalem.
16 E, vendo os syros que foram derrotados diante d'Israel, enviaram mensageiros, e fizeram sair os syros que habitavam da banda d'além do rio: e Sophac, capitão do exercito de Hadar-ezer, marchava diante d'elles.
But the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and they brought the Syrians who were across the river. And Shophach, the leader of the military of Hadadezer, was their commander.
17 Do que avisado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veiu ter com elles, e ordenou contra elles a batalha: e, tendo David ordenado a batalha contra os syros, pelejaram contra elle.
When this had been reported to David, he gathered together all of Israel, and he crossed the Jordan. And he rushed toward them. And he set up a battle line facing them. And they fought against him.
18 Porém os syros fugiram de diante d'Israel, e feriu David, dos syros, sete mil cavallos de carros, e quarenta mil homens de pé: e a Sophac, capitão do exercito, matou.
But the Syrians fled from Israel. And David killed of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand men on foot, and Shophach, the leader of the army.
19 Vendo pois os servos d'Hadar-ezer que tinham sido feridos diante d'Israel, fizeram paz com David, e o serviram: e os syros nunca mais quizeram soccorrer os filhos d'Ammon.
Then the servants of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be overwhelmed by Israel, crossed over to David, and they served him. And Syria was no longer willing to offer aid to the sons of Ammon.
