1 Књига дневника 19
1 А после тога умре Нас, цар синова Амонових, и зацари се син његов на његово место.
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
2 И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, јер је отац његов начинио мени милост. И посла Давид посланике да га потеше за оцем. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових к Ануну да га потеше.
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 people of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 А кнезови синова Амонових рекоше Ануну, господару свом: Мислиш да је Давид зато послао људе да те потеше што је рад учинити част оцу твом? А нису зато дошле слуге његове к теби да промотре и уходе и оборе земљу?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors 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 Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија их и одсече им хаљине по поле до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
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 А кад неки отидоше, те јавише Давиду за те људе, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону док вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 А кад видеше синови Амонови где се омразише с Давидом, онда Анун и синови Амонови послаше хиљаду таланата сребра да најме кола и коњика из Месопотамије и из Сирије Махе и из Сове.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 И најмише тридесет и две хиљаде кола и цара од Махе с народом његовим, који дођоше и стадоше у логор према Медеви. А и синови Амонови скупише се из градова својих и дођоше на бој.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 И изиђоше синови Амонови и уврсташе се пред вратима градским; а цареви који дођоше беху за се у пољу.
The people 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 И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и састраг, узе одабране из све војске израиљске, и намести их према Сирцима.
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 Arameans.
11 А остали народ предаде Ависају, брату свом; и наместише их према синовима Амоновим.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
12 И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу теби доћи у помоћ.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 Буди јунак и држимо се јуначки за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је драго.
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
14 Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце; али они побегоше испред њих.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 А синови Амонови кад видеше где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја брата његовог и уђоше у свој град. Потом се Јоав врати у Јерусалим.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Али Сирци кад видеше да их надбише Израиљци, послаше посланике те доведоше Сирце испреко реке; а Софак војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Кад то јавише Давиду, он скупи све Израиљце, и пређе преко Јордана, и дође к њима и намести војску према њима; а кад намести Давид војску према њима, побише се с њим.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
18 Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам хиљада кола и четрдесет хиљада пешака, и Софака војводу погуби.
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
19 И кад видеше слуге Адад-Езерове да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Давидом и служаху му; и не хтеше више Сирци помагати синовима Амоновим.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
