1 Crônicas 19

1 Depois destas coisas, aconteceu que morreu Naás, rei dos filhos de Amom, e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.

Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

2 E disse Davi: Farei misericórdia com Hanã filho de Naás, porque também seu pai fez comigo misericórdia. Assim Davi enviou embaixadores que o consolassem da morte de seu pai. Mas vindos os servos de Davi na terra dos filhos de Amom a Hanã,

And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

3 os príncipes dos filhos de Amom disseram a Hanã: Pensas que Davi está honrando o teu pai, de maneira que te enviou consoladores? Acaso não é que os servos dele vêm a ti para espionar, e investigar, e reconhecer a terra?

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Think you that David does honor your father, that he has sent comforters to you? are not his servants come to you for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

4 Então Hanã tomou os servos de Davi, rapou-os, e cortou-lhes as vestes ao meio, até as nádegas, e despachou-os.

Why Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

5 Foram-se, pois, e quando foi dada a Davi a notícia acerca daqueles homens, ele mandou que fossem ao encontro deles, porque estavam muito afrontados. E o rei mandou-lhes dizer: Ficai em Jericó até que vos cresça a barba, e então voltareis.

Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

6 E quando os filhos de Amom viram que se haviam feito Davi ter ódio deles, Hanã e os filhos de Amom enviaram mil talentos de prata, para alugarem carruragens e cavaleiros da Mesopotâmia, da Síria de Maaca, e de Zobá.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.

7 E alugaram trinta e dois mil carruagens, e ao rei de Maaca com o seu povo, os quais vieram e assentaram seu acampamento diante de Medeba. E juntaram-se também os filhos de Amom de suas cidades, e vieram à guerra.

So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

8 Ouvindo-o Davi, enviou a Joabe com todo o exército dos homens valentes.

And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

9 E os filhos de Amom saíram, e ordenaram sua tropa à entrada da cidade; e os reis que haviam vindo, estavam à parte no acampamento.

And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

10 E vendo Joabe que a linha da batalha estava contra ele pela frente e por trás, escolheu de todos os mais capacitados que havia em Israel, e pôs seu esquadrão em formação contra os sírios.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

11 Depois pôs os outros nas mãos de seu irmão Abisai, que os pôes em formação de batalha contra os amonitas.

And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

12 E disse: Se os sírios forem mais fortes que eu, tu me socorrerás; e se os amonitas forem mais fortes que tu, eu te socorrerei.

And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then I will help you.

13 Esforça-te, e sejamos corajosos por nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e faça o SENHOR o que bem lhe parecer.

Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

14 Aproximou-se, então, Joabe e o povo que tinha consigo, para lutar contra os sírios; mas eles fugiram diante dele.

So Joab and the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

15 E os filhos de Amom, vendo que os sírios haviam fugido, fugiram também eles diante de Abisai seu irmão, e entraram-se na cidade. Então Joabe se voltou a Jerusalém.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

16 E vendo os sírios que haviam caído diante de Israel, enviaram embaixadores, e trouxeram aos sírios que estavam da outra parte do rio, cujo capitão era Sofaque, general do exército de Hadadezer.

And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

17 Logo que foi dado aviso a Davi, juntou a todo Israel, e passando o Jordão veio a eles, e ordenou contra eles seu exército. E como Davi havia ordenado sua tropa contra eles, os sírios lutaram com ele.

And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

18 Mas os sírios fugiram diante de Israel; e Davi matou dos sírios sete mil homens das carruagens, e quarenta mil homens a pé; assim matou Sofaque, general do exército.

But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

19 E vendo os sírios de Hadadezer que haviam caído diante de Israel, concordarem em fazer a paz com Davi, e foram seus servos; e nunca mais os sírios quiseram ajudar os filhos de Amom.

And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
