1 Crônicas 19
1 Depois disso, Nahash, o rei dos filhos de Amon, morreu 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 position.
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 show kindness unto 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 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?”
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Think you that David does honour your father, that he has sent comforters unto you? are not his servants come unto you in order to search, and to overthrow, 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.
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, 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”.
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 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 when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves abhorrent 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 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.
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 Quando David soube disso, enviou Joab com todo o exército dos homens poderosos.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the 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 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 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.
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 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 delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, 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 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 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 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 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 drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
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 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 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 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 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 passed over Jordan, and came upon 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 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.
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 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 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.
