2 Samuel 10
1 E aconteceu depois disto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Ammon, e seu filho Hanun reinou em seu lugar.
After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Então disse David: Usarei de beneficência com Hanun, filho de Nahas, como seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. E enviou David a consolá-lo, pelo ministério de seus servos, acerca de seu pai: e vieram os servos de David à terra dos filhos de Ammon.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 Então disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Ammon a seu senhor, Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? porventura não te enviou David os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espia-la, e para transtorna-la?
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Então tomou Hanun os servos de David, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade dos vestidos, até às nádegas, e os despediu.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 O que fazendo saber a David, enviou a encontra-los; porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: deixai-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.
When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon, que se tinham feito abomináveis para David, enviaram os filhos de Ammon, e alugaram dos siros de Beth-rechob e dos siros de Zoba vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca mil homens e dos homens de Tob doze mil homens.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exército dos valentes.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8 E sairam os filhos de Ammon, e ordenaram a batalha à entrada da porta: mas os siros de Zoba e Rechob, e os homens de Tob e Maaca estavam à parte no campo.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9 Vendo pois Joab que estava preparada contra ele a frente da batalha, por diante e por detraz, escolheu dentre todos os escolhidos de Israel, e formou-os em linha 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 Syrians.
10 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em socorro; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a socorrer-te a ti.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and 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 courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
13 Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com ele, à peleja contra os siros; e fugiram de diante dele.
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14 E, vendo os filhos de Ammon que os siros fugiam, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade: e voltou Joab dos filhos de Ammon, e veio para Jerusalém.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
15 Vendo pois os siros que foram feridos diante de Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 E enviou Hadadezer, e fez sair os siros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helam: e Sobach, chefe do exército de Hadadezer, marchava diante deles.
Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Do que informado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio a Helam: e os siros se puseram em ordem contra David, e pelejaram com ele.
David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
18 Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e David feriu dentre os siros aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavalo: também ao mesmo Sobach, general do exército, feriu, e morreu ali.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that 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 siros de socorrer mais aos filhos de Ammon.
When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
