< 1 Crônicas 19 >
1 E aconteceu, depois disto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos de Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
2 Então disse David: Usarei de beneficência com Hanun, filho de Nahas, porque seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. Pelo que David enviou mensageiros para o consolarem acerca de seu pai. E, vindo os servos de David à terra dos filhos de Ammon, a Hanun, para o consolarem,
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 Disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Ammon a Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pai 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 leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, 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 à coxa da perna, e os despediu.
So 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 acerca destes homens, e mandou ao encontro deles; porque aqueles homens estavam sobremaneira envergonhados. Disse pois o rei: deixai-vos ficar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba, e então tornai.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have 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 cavaleiros de Mesopotâmia, e da Síria de Maaca, e de Zoba.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 E alugaram para si trinta e dois mil carros, e o rei de Maaca e a sua gente, e eles vieram, e se acamparam diante de Medeba: também os filhos de Ammon se ajuntaram das suas cidades, e vieram para a guerra.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exército dos homens valorosos.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 E, saindo os filhos de Ammon, ordenaram a batalha à porta da cidade: porém os reis que vieram se puseram à parte no campo.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 E, vendo Joab que a frente da batalha estava contra ele por diante e por detraz, fez escolha dentre os mais escolhidos de Israel, e os ordenou contra os siros:
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
11 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai, seu irmão; e puseram-se em ordem de batalha contra os filhos de Ammon.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
12 E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu virás socorrer-me; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, então eu te socorrerei a ti.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will 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 courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
14 Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha consigo, diante dos siros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante dele.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon que os siros fugiram, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade: e veio Joab para Jerusalém.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 E, vendo os siros que foram derrotados diante de Israel, enviaram mensageiros, e fizeram sair os siros que habitavam da banda de além do rio: e Sophac, capitão do exército de Hadar-ezer, marchava diante deles.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Do que avisado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio ter com eles, e ordenou contra eles a batalha: e, tendo David ordenado a batalha contra os siros, pelejaram contra ele.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
18 Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e feriu David, dos siros, sete mil cavalos de carros, e quarenta mil homens de pé: e a Sophac, capitão do exército, matou.
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
19 Vendo pois os servos d'Hadar-ezer que tinham sido feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com David, e o serviram: e os siros nunca mais quizeram socorrer os filhos de Ammon.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
