2 Књига Самуилова 10
1 А после тога умре цар синова Амонових, и зацари се Анун син његов на његово место.
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, као што је отац његов мени учинио милост. И посла Давид да га потеши за оцем преко слуга својих. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових.
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
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 није зато послао Давид к теби слуге своје да промотри град и уходи, па после да га раскопа?
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
4 Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија им браде до пола и одсече им хаљине по поле, до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 А кад то јавише Давиду, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону докле вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 Тада синови Амонови видећи где се омразише с Давидом, послаше синови Амонови, те најмише Сираца од Вет-Реова и Сираца од Сове двадесет хиљада пешака, и у цара од Махе хиљаду људи, и од Ис-Това дванаест хиљада људи.
When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском својом.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
8 И Изиђоше синови Амонови, и уврсташе се пред вратима, а Сирци из Сове и из Реова и људи из Ис-Това и из Махе беху за себе у пољу.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и озад, 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:
10 А остали народ предаде Ависају брату свом да их намести према синовима Амоновим.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.
11 И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу доћи теби у помоћ.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Буди храбар, и држимо се храбро за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је по вољи.
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."
13 Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце, али они побегоше испред њега.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.
14 А синови Амонови видећи где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја, и уђоше у свој град. И врати се Јоав од синова Амонових, и дође у Јерусалим.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Али Сирци кад видеше где их надбише Израиљци, скупише се опет.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 И Адад-Езер посла, те доведе Сирце испреко реке, који дођоше у Елам; а Совак, војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, 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 у Елам; и Сирци се наместише против Давида и побише се с Давидом.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him,
18 Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам стотина и четрдесет хиљада коњика; и Совака војводу њиховог уби, те погибе онде.
but fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
19 И кад видеше сви цареви, слуге Адад-Езерове, да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Израиљем, и служаху им, и Сирци не смеше више помагати синовима Амоновим.
When all the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
