1 Crônicas 19
1 E aconteceu, depois disto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos de Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
It came about later that Nahash, king of the people of Ammon, died, and that his son became king 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 son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. David's servants entered the land of the Ammonites and went to Hanun, in order to console 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 Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Do not his servants come to you to explore and examine the land in order to overthrow it?”
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 seized David's servants, shaved them, cut off their garments to the waist, up 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.
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, 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 Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire Aramean chariots and horsemen from Naharaim, Maacah, and 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.
They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. Then the Ammonites gathered themselves together from their cities and came out 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 his entire army to meet them.
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 lined up for battle at the city gate, while 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:
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them 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.
As for the rest of the army, he gave it into the command of Abishai his brother, and he put them into battle lines against the army 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.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue 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 strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good in his eyes.”
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 soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
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 army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Joab's brother Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back 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 being defeated by Israel, they sent for reinforcements from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer's army.
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.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and came upon them. He arranged the army for battle against the Arameans, and they fought 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 from Israel, and David killed seven thousand Aramean charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak, the commander 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 all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served them. So the people of Aram were no longer willing to help the Ammonites.
