1 Crônicas 19
1 E aconteceu, depois d'isto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos d'Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu logar.
Some time later, Nahash, king of the Ammonites, died and his son succeeded him.
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,
David said, “I will be kind to Hanun, son of Nahash, for his father was kind to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him over his father's death. David's ambassadors arrived in the land of the Ammonites and went comfort 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?
But the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you really think that David is honoring your father by sending comforters to you? Haven't these ‘comforters’ only come to spy out the land to find ways to conquer it?”
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.
So Hanun detained David's ambassadors and had them shaved, and their robes cut off at the buttocks. Then he sent them back.
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.
A message was sent to David to explain what had happened to the men. David then sent messengers to the men to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then you can come back.”
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 the Ammonites realized that they had really been offensive to David So Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and 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.
They also hired 32,000 chariots and the king of Maacah with his army. They came set up camp near Medeba. The Ammonites were also called up from their towns and prepared for battle.
8 O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exercito dos homens valorosos.
When David learned of this, he sent Joab and the entire army to confront them.
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.
The Ammonites set up their battle lines near the town entrance, while the other kings who had joined them took up positions in the open fields.
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:
Joab realized he would have to fight both in front of him and behind him, he chose some of Israel's best troops and he took charge of them to lead the attack the Arameans.
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.
He put the rest of the army under the command of Abishai, his brother. They were to attack the Ammonites.
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.
Joab told him, “If the Arameans are stronger than me, you come and help me. If the Ammonites are stronger than you, I'll come and help 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 brave, and fight your best for our people and the towns of our God. May the Lord do what he sees as good!”
14 Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha comsigo, diante dos syros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
Joab attacked the Arameans with his forces and they ran away from him.
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.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had run away, they also ran away from Abishai, Joab's brother, and retreated into the town. So Joab went back 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.
As soon as the Arameans saw they had been defeated by the Israelites so they sent for reinforcements from the other side of the Euphrates River, under the leadership of Shobach, commander of Hadadezer's army.
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 was reported to David, he assembled all Israel together. He crossed the Jordan and approached the Aramean army, drawing up his forces in battle line against them. When David engaged in battle with them they fought with 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 Aramean army ran away from the Israelites, and David killed 7,000 charioteers and 40,000 infantry, as well as Shobach, their army commander.
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.
When Hadadezer's allies realized that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. As a result, the Arameans didn't want to help the Ammonites any more.
