2 Samuel 10
1 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn èyí, ọba àwọn ará Ammoni sì kú, Hanuni ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son Hanun.
2 Dafidi sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe oore fún Hanuni ọmọ Nahaṣi gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ sì ti ṣe oore fún mi.” Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́ láti tù Hanuni nínú láti ọwọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wá, nítorí ti baba rẹ̀. Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi sì wá sí ilé àwọn ọmọ Ammoni.
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console Hanun concerning his father. But when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,
3 Àwọn olórí àwọn ọmọ Ammoni sì wí fún Hanuni olúwa wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ o rò pé Dafidi ń bu ọlá fún baba rẹ nígbà tí ó rán ènìyàn wá láti bá ọ kẹ́dùn? Kò ha ṣe pé Dafidi rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí ọ láti wo ìlú àti láti yọ́ ọ wò àti láti gbà ọ́.”
the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to explore the city, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
4 Hanuni sì mú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi ó fá apá kan irùngbọ̀n wọn, ó sì gé ààbọ̀ kúrò ní agbádá wọn, títí ó fi dé ìdí wọn, ó sì rán wọn lọ.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 Wọ́n sì sọ fún Dafidi, ó sì ránṣẹ́ lọ pàdé wọn, nítorí tí ojú ti àwọn ọkùnrin náà púpọ̀: ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹ dúró ní Jeriko títí irùngbọ̀n yín yóò fi hù, nígbà náà ni kí ẹ tó máa bọ̀.”
When this was reported to David, he sent messengers to meet the men, since they had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Àwọn ará Ammoni sì ri pé, wọ́n di ẹni ìríra níwájú Dafidi, àwọn ọmọ Ammoni sì ránṣẹ́, wọ́n sì fi owó bẹ́ ogún àwọn ará Siria ti Beti-Rehobu; àti Siria-Soba, ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ àti ti ọba Maaka, ẹgbẹ̀rún ọkùnrin àti ti Tobu ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ọkùnrin lọ́wẹ̀.
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the king of Maacah and twelve thousand men from Tob.
7 Dafidi sì gbọ́, ó sì rán Joabu, àti gbogbo ogún àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára.
On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
8 Àwọn ọmọ Ammoni sì jáde wá, wọ́n sì tẹ́ ogun ní ẹnu odi; ará Siria-Soba, àti ti Rehobu, àti Tobu, àti Maaka, wọ́n sì tẹ ogun ni pápá fún ara wọn.
The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
9 Nígbà tí Joabu sì rí i pé ogun náà dojúkọ òun níwájú àti lẹ́yìn, ó sì yàn nínú gbogbo àwọn akíkanjú ọkùnrin ní Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ogun kọjú 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.
10 Ó sì fi àwọn ènìyàn tí ó kù lé Abiṣai àbúrò rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, kí ó lè tẹ ogun kọjú sí àwọn ọmọ Ammoni.
And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
11 Ó sì wí pé, “Bí agbára àwọn ará Siria bá pọ̀ ju èmi lọ, ìwọ yóò sì wá ràn mí lọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n bí ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Ammoni bá sì pọ̀jù ọ́ lọ, èmi ó sì wá ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́.
“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.
12 Mú ọkàn lè, jẹ́ kí a ṣe onígboyà nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wa, àti nítorí àwọn ìlú Ọlọ́run wa; Olúwa yóò sì ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú 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.”
13 Joabu àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sì bá àwọn ará Siria pàdé ìjà, wọ́n sì sá níwájú rẹ̀.
So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
14 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Ammoni sì rí i pé àwọn ará Siria sá, àwọn pẹ̀lú sì sá níwájú Abiṣai, wọ́n sì wọ inú ìlú lọ. Joabu sì padà kúrò lẹ́yìn àwọn ọmọ Ammoni, ó sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
15 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Siria sì rí i pé àwọn ṣubú níwájú Israẹli, wọ́n sì kó ara wọn jọ
When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped.
16 Hadadeseri sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì mú àwọn Siria tí ó wà ní òkè odò Eufurate jáde wá, wọ́n sì wá sí Helami; Sobaki olórí ogun Hadadeseri sì ṣe olórí wọn.
Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, and they came to Helam with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 Nígbà tí a sọ fún Dafidi, ó sì kó gbogbo Israẹli jọ, wọ́n sì kọjá Jordani, wọ́n sì wá sí Helami, àwọn ará Siria sì tẹ́ ogun kọjú sí Dafidi, wọ́n sì bá a jà.
When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans arrayed themselves against David and fought against him.
18 Àwọn ará Siria sì sá níwájú Israẹli, Dafidi sì pa nínú àwọn ará Siria ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin àwọn oníkẹ̀kẹ́, àti ọ̀kẹ́ méjì ẹlẹ́ṣin, wọ́n sì kọlu Sobaki olórí ogun wọn, ó sì kú níbẹ̀.
But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
19 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ọba tí ó wà lábẹ́ Hadadeseri sì rí i pé wọ́n di bíbì ṣubú níwájú Israẹli, wọ́n sì bá Israẹli làjà, wọ́n sì ń sìn wọ́n. Àwọn ará Siria sì bẹ̀rù láti máa ran àwọn ọmọ Ammoni lọ́wọ́ mọ́.
When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
