1 Dnevnika 19
1 A poslije toga umrije Nas car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2 I reèe David: da uèinim milost Anunu sinu Nasovu, jer je otac njegov uèinio meni milost. I posla David poslanike da ga potješe za ocem. I doðoše sluge Davidove u zemlju sinova Amonovijeh k Anunu da ga potješe.
And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 A knezovi sinova Amonovijeh rekoše Anunu gospodaru svojemu: misliš da je David zato poslao ljude da te potješe što je rad uèiniti èast ocu tvojemu? a nijesu zato došle sluge njegove k tebi da promotre i uhode i obore zemlju?
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, in that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4 Tada Anun uhvati sluge Davidove, i obrija ih i otsijeèe im haljine po pole do zadnjice, i opravi ih natrag.
So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 A kad neki otidoše, te javiše Davidu za te ljude, on posla pred njih, jer ljudi bijahu grdno osramoæeni, i poruèi im car: sjedite u Jerihonu dok vam naraste brada, pa onda doðite natrag.
Then there went certain persons, 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 A kad vidješe sinovi Amonovi gdje se omraziše s Davidom, onda Anun i sinovi Amonovi poslaše tisuæu talanata srebra da najme kola i konjika iz Mesopotamije i iz Sirije Mahe i iz Sove.
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 Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 I najmiše trideset i dvije tisuæe kola i cara od Mahe s narodom njegovijem, koji doðoše i stadoše u oko prema Medevi. A i sinovi Amonovi skupiše se iz gradova svojih i doðoše na boj.
So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 A David kad to èu, posla Joava sa svom hrabrom vojskom.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9 I izidoše sinovi Amonovi i uvrstaše se pred vratima gradskim; a carevi koji doðoše bijahu za se u polju.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10 I Joav vidjeæi namještenu vojsku prema sebi sprijed i sastrag, uze odabrane iz sve vojske Izrailjske, i namjesti ih prema Sircima.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 A ostali narod predade Avisaju bratu svojemu; i namjestiše ih prema sinovima Amonovijem.
And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 I reèe: ako Sirci budu jaèi od mene, doði mi u pomoæ; ako li sinovi Amonovi budu jaèi od tebe, ja æu tebi doæi u pomoæ.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 Budi junak i držimo se junaèki za svoj narod i za gradove Boga svojega; a Gospod neka uèini što mu je drago.
Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good.
14 Tada Joav i narod koji bijaše s njim primakoše se da udare na Sirce; ali oni pobjegoše ispred njih.
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15 A sinovi Amonovi kad vidješe gdje pobjegoše Sirci, pobjegoše i oni ispred Avisaja brata njegova i uðoše u svoj grad. Potom se Joav vrati u Jerusalim.
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 Ali Sirci kad vidješe gdje ih nadbiše Izrailjci, poslaše poslanike te dovedoše Sirce ispreko rijeke; a Sofak vojvoda Adar-Ezerov iðaše pred njima.
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, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
17 Kad to javiše Davidu, on skupi sve Izrailjce, i prijeðe preko Jordana, i doðe k njima, i namjesti vojsku prema njima; a kad namjesti David vojsku prema njima, pobiše se s njim.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the 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 Ali pobjegoše Sirci ispred Izrailja, i pobi David Siraca sedam tisuæa kola i èetrdeset tisuæa pješaka, i Sofaka vojvodu pogubi.
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19 I kad vidješe sluge Adar-Ezerove da ih razbi Izrailj, uèiniše mir s Davidom i služahu mu; i ne htješe više Sirci pomagati sinovima Amonovijem.
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
