1 Dnevnika 19
1 A poslije toga umrije Nas car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
It came about later that Nahash, king of the people of Ammon, died, and that his son became king in his place.
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.
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. David's servants entered the land of the Ammonites and went to Hanun, in order to console 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 Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Do not his servants come to you to explore and examine the land in order to overthrow it?”
4 Tada Anun uhvati sluge Davidove, i obrija ih i otsijeèe im haljine po pole do zadnjice, i opravi ih natrag.
So Hanun seized David's servants, shaved them, cut off their garments to the waist, up 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.
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, 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.
When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire Aramean chariots and horsemen from Naharaim, Maacah, and 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.
They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. Then the Ammonites gathered themselves together from their cities and came out to battle.
8 A David kad to èu, posla Joava sa svom hrabrom vojskom.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and his entire army to meet them.
9 I izidoše sinovi Amonovi i uvrstaše se pred vratima gradskim; a carevi koji doðoše bijahu za se u polju.
The people of Ammon came out and lined up for battle at the city gate, while the kings who had 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.
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
11 A ostali narod predade Avisaju bratu svojemu; i namjestiše ih prema sinovima Amonovijem.
As for the rest of the army, he gave it into the command of Abishai his brother, and he put them into battle lines against the army 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.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue you.
13 Budi junak i držimo se junaèki za svoj narod i za gradove Boga svojega; a Gospod neka uèini što mu je drago.
Be strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will do what is good in his eyes.”
14 Tada Joav i narod koji bijaše s njim primakoše se da udare na Sirce; ali oni pobjegoše ispred njih.
So Joab and the soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
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.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Joab's brother Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back 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.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they sent for reinforcements from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer's army.
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.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and came upon them. He arranged the army for battle against the Arameans, and they fought him.
18 Ali pobjegoše Sirci ispred Izrailja, i pobi David Siraca sedam tisuæa kola i èetrdeset tisuæa pješaka, i Sofaka vojvodu pogubi.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven thousand Aramean charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak, the commander of the army.
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.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served them. So the people of Aram were no longer willing to help the Ammonites.
