1 Dnevnika 19
1 A poslije toga umrije Nas car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned 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 the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. 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, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, 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, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at 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 some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have 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.
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, 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 for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. 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.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9 I izidoše sinovi Amonovi i uvrstaše se pred vratima gradskim; a carevi koji doðoše bijahu za se u polju.
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and 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.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some 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.
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.
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help 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 courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
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 who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to 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.
When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had 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.
When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
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.
David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to 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.
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain 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 the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
