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.
Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
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.
David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
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?
the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
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.
Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they 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.
The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone 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 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.
Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
7 O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exercito dos valentes.
When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
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.
The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
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.
Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
10 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.
He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
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.
Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
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.
We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
13 Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com elle, á peleja contra os syros; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
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 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’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
15 Vendo pois os syros que foram feridos diante d'Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.
After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops 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.
[Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
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.
When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
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.
But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, 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.
When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
