< 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 came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
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 show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
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 princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the 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.
Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and 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.
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then 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.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of 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.
So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exercito dos homens valorosos.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty 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 children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come were by themselves 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:
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose from all the best of Israel, and put them in array 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.
And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children 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 shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
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 of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
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 the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before 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.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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.
And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before 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.
And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, 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 Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men who fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
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.
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were smote before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
