2 Samuel 10
1 Depois disso, o rei dos filhos de Amon morreu, e Hanun seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2 David disse: “Eu mostrarei bondade a Hanun, o filho de Nahash, como seu pai demonstrou bondade para comigo”. Assim, David enviou seus servos para consolá-lo a respeito de seu pai. Os servos de Davi entraram na terra dos filhos de Amon.
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 Mas os príncipes das crianças de Ammon disseram a Hanun, seu senhor: “Você acha que David honra seu pai, por ter enviado consoladores para você? David não lhe enviou seus servos para revistar a cidade, para espioná-la e derrubá-la?”
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
4 Então Hanun pegou os criados de David, raspou uma metade da barba e cortou suas roupas no meio, até as nádegas, e os mandou embora.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Quando disseram isso a David, ele os mandou ao encontro, pois os homens estavam muito envergonhados. O rei disse: “Espere em Jericó até que suas barbas tenham crescido, e depois volte”.
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Quando os filhos de Amon viram que tinham se tornado odiosos para David, os filhos de Amon enviaram e contrataram os sírios de Beth Rehob e os sírios de Zobah, vinte mil homens de pé, e o rei de Maaca com mil homens, e os homens de Tob, doze mil homens.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 Quando David soube disso, enviou Joab e todo o exército dos homens poderosos.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 Os filhos de Amon saíram e ordenaram a batalha na entrada do portão. Os sírios de Zobah e de Rehob e os homens de Tob e Maacah estavam sozinhos no campo.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
9 Agora, quando Joab viu que a batalha foi travada contra ele antes e depois, ele escolheu entre todos os homens escolhidos de Israel e os colocou em ordem contra os sírios.
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 O resto do povo que ele comprometeu na mão de Abishai, seu irmão; e ele os pôs em ordem contra os filhos de Amon.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Ele disse: “Se os sírios forem fortes demais para mim, então vocês me ajudarão; mas se os filhos de Amon forem fortes demais para vocês, então eu virei e os ajudarei.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
12 Seja corajoso e sejamos fortes por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e que Yahweh faça o que lhe parece bom”.
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 Então Joab e as pessoas que estavam com ele se aproximaram da batalha contra os sírios, e fugiram antes dele.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14 Quando as crianças de Amon viram que os sírios haviam fugido, também fugiram antes de Abishai, e entraram na cidade. Então Joab voltou dos filhos de Amon e veio para Jerusalém.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Quando os sírios viram que foram derrotados por Israel, eles se reuniram.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 Hadadezer enviou e trouxe os sírios que estavam além do rio; e eles vieram para Helam, com Shobach o capitão do exército de Hadadezer à sua frente.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
17 David foi informado disso; e ele reuniu todo Israel, passou pelo Jordão e veio a Helam. Os sírios se colocaram em ordem contra Davi e lutaram com ele.
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
18 Os sírios fugiram diante de Israel; e David matou setecentos cocheiros dos sírios e quarenta mil cavaleiros, e atingiu Shobach, o capitão do exército deles, de modo que ele morreu lá.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
19 Quando todos os reis que eram servos de Hadadezer viram que tinham sido derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram as pazes com Israel e os serviram. Então os sírios tiveram medo de ajudar mais as crianças de Amon.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
