2 Samuel 10
1 Depois disto aconteceu, que morreu o rei dos filhos de Amom: e reinou em lugar seu Hanum seu filho.
Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.
2 E disse Davi: Eu farei misericórdia com Hanum filho de Naás, como seu pai a fez comigo. E enviou Davi seus servos a consolá-lo por seu pai. Mas chegados os servos de Davi à terra dos filhos de Amom,
And David said, “I will show mercy to Hanun, the son of Nahash, just as his father showed mercy to me.” Therefore, David sent consolation to him, by his servants, over the passing of his father. But when the servants of David had arrived in the land of the sons of Ammon,
3 Os príncipes dos filhos de Amom disseram a Hanum seu senhor: Parece-te que para Davi honrar a teu pai te enviou consoladores? Não enviou Davi seus servos a ti por reconhecer e inspecionar a cidade, para destruí-la?
the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord: “Do you think it was because of the honor of your father that David sent consolers to you? And did not David send his servants to you, so that he might investigate and explore the city, and so that he might overthrow it?”
4 Então Hanum tomou os servos de Davi, e rapou-lhes a metade da barba, e cortou-lhes as roupas pela metade até as nádegas, e despachou-os.
And so, Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off one half part of their beards, and he cut their garments at the middle, as far as the buttocks, and he sent them away.
5 O qual quando foi feito saber a Davi, enviou a encontrar-lhes, porque eles estavam em extremo envergonhados; e o rei fez dizer lhes: Ficai-vos em Jericó até que vos volte a nascer a barba, e então regressareis.
And when this had been reported to David, he sent to meet them. And the men were greatly disturbed by shame. And David commanded them, “Remain in Jericho, until your beards grow, and then return.”
6 E vendo os filhos de Amom que se fizeram odiosos a Davi, enviaram os filhos de Amom e alugaram aos sírios da casa de Reobe, e aos sírios de Zobá, vinte mil homens a pé: e do rei de Maaca mil homens, e de Tobe doze mil homens.
Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.
7 O qual quando ouviu Davi, enviou a Joabe com todo o exército dos valentes.
And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of warriors.
8 E saindo os filhos de Amom, ordenaram seus esquadrões à entrada da porta: mas os sírios de Zobá, e de Reobe, e de Tobe, e de Maaca, estavam à parte no campo.
Then the sons of Ammon went forth, and they positioned their battle line before the very entrance of the gates. But the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and of Tob, and of Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 Vendo, pois, Joabe que havia esquadrões diante e detrás dele, escolheu de todos os escolhidos de Israel, e pôs-se em ordem contra os sírios.
And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.
10 Entregou logo o que restou do povo em mão de Abisai seu irmão, e o pôs em ordem para encontrar aos amonitas.
But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.
11 E disse: Se os sírios me forem superiores, tu me ajudarás; e se os filhos de Amom puderem mais que tu, eu te darei ajuda.
And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.
12 Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos por nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o SENHOR o que bem lhe parecer.
Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
13 E aproximou-se Joabe, e o povo que com ele estava, para lutar com os sírios; mas eles fugiram diante dele.
And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.
14 Então os filhos de Amom, vendo que os sírios haviam fugido, fugiram também eles diante de Abisai, e entraram-se na cidade. E voltou Joabe dos filhos de Amom, e veio a Jerusalém.
Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.
15 Mas vendo os sírios que haviam caído diante de Israel, voltaram a se juntar.
And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 E enviou Hadadezer, e tirou os sírios que estavam da outra parte do rio, os quais vieram a Helã, levando por chefe a Sobaque general do exército de Hadadezer.
And Hadadezer sent and brought the Syrians who were beyond the river, and he led in their army. And Shobach, the ruler of the military of Hadadezer, was their leader.
17 E quando foi dado aviso a Davi, juntou a todo Israel, e passando o Jordão veio a Helã: e os sírios se puseram em ordem contra Davi, e lutaram com ele.
And when this had been reported to David, he drew together all of Israel. And he crossed over the Jordan, and he went to Helam. And the Syrians formed a battle line opposite David, and they fought against him.
18 Mas os sírios fugiram diante de Israel: e feriu Davi dos sírios a gente de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil cavaleiros: feriu também a Sobaque general do exército, e morreu ali.
And the Syrians fled before the face of Israel. And David killed, among the Syrians, the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen. And he struck down Shobach, the leader of the military, who immediately died.
19 Vendo, pois todos os reis que assistiam a Hadadezer, como haviam eles sido derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e serviram-no; e dali adiante temeram os sírios de socorrer aos filhos de Amom.
Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.
