1 Chronicles 19

1 Ní àkókò yí, Nahaṣi ọba àwọn ará Ammoni sì kú, ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.

Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

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 be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.

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.”

But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome 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, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, 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”.

Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

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.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and 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 with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

8 Ní gbígbọ́ eléyìí, Dafidi rán Joabu jáde pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun ọkùnrin tí ó le jà.

And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-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.

So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

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.

Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

11 Ó fi ìyókù àwọn ọkùnrin náà sí abẹ́ àkóso Abiṣai arákùnrin rẹ̀, a sì tẹ́ wọn kí wọn dojúkọ àwọn ará Ammoni.

And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

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.

And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.

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.

Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.

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 the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight 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.

And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came 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.

And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

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.

And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

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.

And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the 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.

And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.
