< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 E aconteceu depois d'isto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Ammon, e seu filho Hanun reinou em seu logar.
And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Então disse David: Usarei de beneficencia com Hanun, filho de Nahas, como seu pae usou de beneficencia comigo. E enviou David a consolal-o, pelo ministerio de seus servos, ácerca de seu pae: e vieram os servos de David á terra dos filhos de Ammon.
And David said, I will show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 Então disseram os principes dos filhos d'Ammon a seu senhor, Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pae aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? porventura não te enviou David os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espial-a, e para transtornal-a?
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honor your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?
4 Então tomou Hanun os servos de David, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade dos vestidos, até ás nadegas, e os despediu.
And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and sent them away.
5 O que fazendo saber a David, enviou a encontral-os; porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: Deixae-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.
And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonored: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you shall return.
6 Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon, que se tinham feito abominaveis para David, enviaram os filhos d'Ammon, e alugaram dos syros de Beth-rechob e dos syros de Zoba vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca mil homens e dos homens de Tob doze mil homens.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.
7 O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exercito dos valentes.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men.
8 E sairam os filhos d'Ammon, e ordenaram a batalha á entrada da porta: mas os syros de Zoba e Rechob, e os homens de Tob e Maaca estavam á parte no campo.
And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field.
9 Vendo pois Joab que estava preparada contra elle a frente da batalha, por diante e por detraz, escolheu d'entre todos os escolhidos de Israel, e formou-os em linha contra os syros.
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
10 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.
11 E disse: Se os syros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em soccorro; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a soccorrer-te a ti.
And he said, If Syria be too strong for me, then shall you help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you.
12 Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o Senhor então o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.
Be you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
13 Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com elle, á peleja contra os syros; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
14 E, vendo os filhos d'Ammon que os syros fugiam, tambem elles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade: e voltou Joab dos filhos d'Ammon, e veiu para Jerusalem.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Vendo pois os syros que foram feridos diante d'Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
16 E enviou Hadadezer, e fez sair os syros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helam: e Sobach, chefe do exercito de Hadadezer, marchava diante d'elles.
And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head.
17 Do que informado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veiu a Helam: e os syros se pozeram em ordem contra David, e pelejaram com elle.
And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.
18 Porém os syros fugiram de diante de Israel, e David feriu d'entre os syros aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavallo: tambem ao mesmo Sobach, general do exercito, feriu, e morreu ali.
And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there.
19 Vendo pois todos os reis, servos de Hadadezer, que foram feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e o serviram: e temeram os syros de soccorrer mais aos filhos de Ammon.
And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
