1 Crônicas 19
1 Depois disso, Nahash, o rei dos filhos de Amon, morreu e seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
2 David disse: “Eu mostrarei bondade a Hanun, o filho de Nahash, porque seu pai demonstrou bondade para comigo”. Assim, David enviou mensageiros para consolá-lo a respeito de seu pai. Os servos de David vieram à terra dos filhos de Ammon para Hanun para confortá-lo.
And David said, I will act kindly towards Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
3 Mas os príncipes das crianças de Ammon disseram a Hanun: “Você acha que David honra seu pai, por ter enviado consoladores a você? Os servos dele não vieram até você para procurar, derrubar e espionar a terra?”
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honour your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Então Hanun levou os servos de David, raspou-os, cortou suas roupas no meio das nádegas, e os mandou embora.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
5 Então algumas pessoas foram e contaram a David como os homens foram tratados. Ele enviou para encontrá-los, pois os homens foram muito humilhados. O rei disse: “Fiquem em Jericó até que suas barbas tenham crescido, e depois voltem”.
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
6 Quando os filhos de Ammon viram que tinham se tornado odiosos para David, Hanun e os filhos de Ammon enviaram mil talentos de prata para contratar carros e cavaleiros da Mesopotâmia, de Aram-maacah e de Zobah.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
7 Assim, eles contrataram para si trinta e dois mil carros e o rei de Maaca com seu povo, que veio e acampou perto de Medeba. As crianças de Ammon se reuniram de suas cidades e vieram para a batalha.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Quando David soube disso, enviou Joab com todo o exército dos homens poderosos.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 As crianças de Ammon saíram e ordenaram a batalha no portão da cidade; e os reis que tinham vindo estavam sozinhos no campo.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
10 Agora, quando Joab viu que a batalha foi travada contra ele antes e depois, ele escolheu alguns dos homens escolhidos de Israel, e os colocou em ordem contra os sírios.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 O resto das pessoas que ele colocou nas mãos de Abishai, seu irmão; e eles se colocaram em ordem contra os filhos de Amon.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Ele disse: “Se os sírios são fortes demais para mim, então vocês devem me ajudar; mas se os filhos de Amon são fortes demais para vocês, então eu os ajudarei”.
And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 Seja corajoso, e sejamos fortes por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus. Que Yahweh faça o que lhe parece bom”.
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Então Joab e as pessoas que estavam com ele chegaram perto da frente dos sírios para a batalha; e fugiram diante dele.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
15 Quando os filhos de Amon viram que os sírios haviam fugido, também fugiram antes de Abishai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade. Então Joab veio a Jerusalém.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Quando os sírios viram que tinham sido derrotados por Israel, enviaram mensageiros e chamaram os sírios que estavam além do rio, com Shophach, o capitão do exército de Hadadezer, liderando-os.
And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
17 David foi informado de que, assim, reuniu todo Israel, passou pelo Jordão, veio até eles e ordenou a batalha contra eles. Assim, quando Davi colocou a batalha em ordem contra os sírios, eles lutaram com ele.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
18 Os sírios fugiram diante de Israel; e David matou dos sírios sete mil cocheiros e quarenta mil homens de pé, e também matou Shophach, o capitão do exército.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
19 Quando os servos de Hadadezer viram que tinham sido derrotados por Israel, fizeram as pazes com Davi e o serviram. Os sírios não ajudariam mais as crianças de Ammon.
And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
