1 Chronicles 19
1 Ní àkókò yí, Nahaṣi ọba àwọn ará Ammoni sì kú, ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
2 Dafidi rò wí pé èmi yóò fi inú rere hàn sí Hanuni ọmọ Nahaṣi, nítorí baba a rẹ̀ fi inú rere hàn sí mi. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Dafidi rán àwọn aṣojú lọ láti lọ fi ìbá kẹ́dùn rẹ̀ hàn sí Hanuni ní ti baba a rẹ̀. Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Dafidi wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hanuni ní ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Ammoni láti fi ìbá kẹ́dùn rẹ̀ hàn sí i.
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
3 Àwọn ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá ti Ammoni sọ fún Hanuni pé, “Ṣé ìwọ rò pé Dafidi ń bu ọlá fún baba rẹ nípa rírán àwọn olùtùnú sí ọ? Ṣé àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ láti rìn wò àti láti bì í ṣubú, àti láti ṣe ayọ́lẹ̀wò ilẹ̀ náà.”
the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hanuni fi ipá mú àwọn ọkùnrin Dafidi, fá irun wọn, wọ́n gé ẹ̀wù wọn kúrò ní àárín ìdí rẹ̀, ó sì rán wọn lọ.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 Nígbà tí ẹnìkan wá, tí ó sì sọ fún Dafidi nípa àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀, ó rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ láti lọ bá wọn, nítorí wọ́n ti di rírẹ̀ sílẹ̀ gidigidi. Ọba wí pe, “Dúró ní Jeriko títí tí irùngbọ̀n yín yóò fi hù, nígbà náà ẹ padà wá”.
When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Ammoni sì ri pé wọ́n ti di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ní ihò imú Dafidi, Hanuni àti àwọn ará Ammoni rán ẹgbẹ̀rún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà láti gba iṣẹ́ àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti àwọn agun-kẹ̀kẹ́ láti Aramu-Naharaimu, Siria Maaka àti Soba.
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
7 Wọ́n gba iṣẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rin méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n kẹ̀kẹ́ àti agun-kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ọba Maaka pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ tí ó wá pàgọ́ ní ẹ̀bá Medeba, nígbà tí àwọn ará Ammoni kójọpọ̀ láti ìlú wọn, tí wọ́n sì jáde lọ fún ogun.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
8 Ní gbígbọ́ eléyìí, Dafidi rán Joabu jáde pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun ọkùnrin tí ó le jà.
On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
9 Àwọn ọmọ Ammoni sì jáde wá, wọ́n sì tẹ́ ogun ní ẹnu odi ìlú ńlá wọn, nígbà tí àwọn ọba tí ó wá, fún rara wọn wà ni orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó ṣí sílẹ̀.
The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
10 Joabu ri wí pé àwọn ìlà ogun wà níwájú àti ẹ̀yìn òun, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni o mu àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó dára ní Israẹli, o sì tẹ́ ogun wọn sí àwọn ará Siria.
When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
11 Ó fi ìyókù àwọn ọkùnrin náà sí abẹ́ àkóso Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀, a sì tẹ́ wọn kí wọn dojúkọ àwọn ará Ammoni.
And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
12 Joabu wí pé tí àwọn ará Siria bá le jù fún mi, nígbà náà, ìwọ ni kí o gbà mí; ṣùgbọ́n tí àwọn ará Ammoni bá le jù fún ọ, nígbà náà èmi yóò gbà ọ́.
“If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
13 Jẹ́ alágbára kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a jà pẹ̀lú ìgboyà fún àwọn ènìyàn wa àti àwọn ìlú ńlá ti Ọlọ́run wa. Olúwa yóò ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú rẹ̀.
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
14 Nígbà náà Joabu àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ lọ síwájú láti lọ jà pẹ̀lú àwọn ará Siria. Wọ́n sì sálọ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
15 Nígbà ti àwọn ará Ammoni ri pé àwọn ará Siria ń sálọ, àwọn náà sálọ kúrò níwájú arákùnrin rẹ̀ Abiṣai. Wọ́n sì wọ inú ìlú ńlá lọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joabu padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
16 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn ará Siria rí wí pé àwọn Israẹli ti lé wọn, wọ́n rán ìránṣẹ́. A sì mú àwọn ará Siria rékọjá odò Eufurate wá, pẹ̀lú Ṣofaki alákòóso ọmọ-ogun Hadadeseri, tí ó ń darí wọn.
When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 Nígbà tí a sọ fún Dafidi nípa èyí, ó pe gbogbo Israẹli jọ wọ́n sì rékọjá Jordani; Ó lọ síwájú wọn, ó sì fa ìlà ogun dojúkọ wọ́n. Dafidi fa ìlà rẹ̀ láti bá àwọn ará Siria jagun wọ́n sì dojú ìjà kọ ọ́.
When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Siria sálọ kúrò níwájú Israẹli, Dafidi sì pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin agun-kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn àti ọ̀kẹ́ méjì ọmọ-ogun ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀. Ó pa Ṣofaki alákòóso ọmọ-ogun wọn pẹ̀lú.
But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
19 Nígbà tí àwọn ẹrú Hadadeseri rí i wí pé Israẹli ti borí wọn, wọ́n ṣe àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú Dafidi, wọ́n sì ń sìn ní abẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwọn ará Siria kò ní ìfẹ́ sí ríran àwọn ará Ammoni lọ́wọ́ mọ́.
When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
