2 Књига Самуилова 10
1 А после тога умре цар синова Амонових, и зацари се Анун син његов на његово место.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
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.
And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children 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 princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee 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 the one half of 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 they told it unto David, 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 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.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском својом.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host 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.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians 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 Syrians:
10 А остали народ предаде Ависају брату свом да их намести према синовима Амоновим.
And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children 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.
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 come and help thee.
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 of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
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 that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: 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.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Али Сирци кад видеше где их надбише Израиљци, скупише се опет.
And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before 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.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer 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.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians 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.
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, that 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.
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
