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, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.
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,
[When] David [heard about that, he] thought [to himself], “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that he was sorry to hear that Hanun’s father [had died]. But when David’s officials came to Hanun in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
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 Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is really to honor your father that King David is sending these men to say that he is sorry that your father died? [We think that] his men have come to (look around/spy) our city in order to determine how his [army] can conquer us.”
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.
Hanun [believed what they said, so he commanded some soldiers to] seize the officials whom David had sent, and shave off their beards, and [insult them by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, and then send them away. [So his soldiers did that].
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.
The officials were greatly humiliated/ashamed. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent some messengers to them to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
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 [leaders of the] Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David. So Hanun and some of his officials sent about (37,000 pounds/34,000 kg.) of silver to hire chariots and chariot-drivers from [the] Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Maacah and Zobah [regions of Syria northeast of Israel].
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 hired 32,000 chariots and chariot-drivers, as well as the king of [the] Maacah [region] and his army. They came and set up their tents near Medeba [town in Moab region]. The soldiers from the Ammon people-group also marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) [at the entrance to their capital city, Rabbah].
8 O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exercito dos homens valorosos.
When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.
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 soldiers of the Ammon people-group came out of their city and lined up for battle at the entrance to [their capital city, Rabbah]. Meanwhile, the other kings who had come [with their armies] stood in their 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 saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he selected some of the best Israeli troops and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
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 appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of his other soldiers and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
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 said to them, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, then your soldiers must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat them, then my soldiers will come and help your men.
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.
We must be strong/courageous, and fight hard to [defend] our people and our cities (that belong to/where we worship) our God. I will pray that Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”
14 Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha comsigo, diante dos syros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
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.
And when the soldiers of the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab [and his army] 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.
After [the leaders of the army of] Syria realized that they had been defeated by [the army of] Israel, they sent messengers to [another part of Syria on] the east side of the [Euphrates] river, and brought troops from there [to the battle area], with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.
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 David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River]. They advanced and took their battle positions to attack the army of Syria.
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 army of Syria ran away from the soldiers of Israel. However, David’s soldiers killed 7,000 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also killed Shophach, 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 the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli army, they made peace with David, and agreed to allow him to rule them. So the rulers of Syria did not want to help the rulers of the Ammon people-group any more.
