Chronicles I 19
1 And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
Poslije toga umrije Nahaš, kralj Amonaca, i zakralji mu se sin na njegovo mjesto.
2 And David said, I will act kindly toward Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
David reče u sebi: “Iskazat ću ljubav Nahaševu sinu Hanunu jer je i njegov otac iskazao milost meni.” David uputi poslanike da mu izraze sućut zbog smrti njegova oca. Kad su Davidove sluge došle u zemlju Amonaca k Hanunu da mu izraze sućut,
3 And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honour thy father before thee, that David has sent comforters to thee? Have not his servants come to thee that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
rekoše knezovi Amonaca Hanunu: “Zar misliš da je David poslao ljude da ti izraze sućut zato što bi htio iskazati čast tvome ocu? Nisu li zato došle njegove sluge k tebi da razvide, istraže i uhode zemlju?”
4 And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
Tada Hanun pograbi Davidove sluge i obrija ih, podreza im haljine dopola, do zadnjice, i posla ih natrag!
5 And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
Kad su to javili Davidu, posla on čovjeka pred njih, jer su bili vrlo osramoćeni, i poruči im: “Ostanite u Jerihonu dok vam ne naraste brada pa se onda vratite.”
6 And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
Kad su Amonovi sinovi vidjeli da su se omrazili s Davidom, poslao je Hanun s Amonovim sinovima tisuću srebrnih talenata da za plaću najme bojnih kola i konjanika iz Aram Naharajima, iz Aram Maake i iz Soba.
7 And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
Najmili su za plaću trideset i dvije tisuće bojnih kola, i kralja Maake s njegovim narodom te su oni došli i utaborili se pred Medebom. Amonovi su se sinovi skupili iz svojih gradova i došli u boj.
8 And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
Kad je to čuo David, poslao je Joaba sa svom svojom junačkom vojskom.
9 And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
Amonovi sinovi iziđoše i svrstaše se u bojni red pred gradskim vratima; a kraljevi koji su došli stajali su zasebno na polju.
10 And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
Vidjevši postavljene bojne redove prema sebi, sprijeda i straga, Joab probra najvrsnije među Izraelcima i svrsta ih prema Aramejcima.
11 And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Ostalu vojsku predade bratu Abišaju da je svrsta prema Amoncima.
12 And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shalt thou deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against thee, then will I deliver thee.
I reče mu: “Ako Aramejci budu jači od mene, onda ti meni priskoči u pomoć; ako li Amonci budu jači od tebe, ja ću tebi pohrliti u pomoć.
13 Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
Budi hrabar i junački se držimo radi naroda i radi gradova svoga Boga; a Jahve neka učini što je dobro u njegovim očima.”
14 So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
Tada se Joab i vojska koja je bila s njim počeše primicati da udare na Aramejce, ali oni pobjegoše pred njima.
15 And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
Kad su Amonci vidjeli da su Aramejci pobjegli, umakoše i oni ispred njegova brata Abišaja i povukoše se u grad. Tada se Joab vrati u Jeruzalem.
16 And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
A Aramejci, vidjevši gdje su ih potukli Izraelci, uputili su poslanike i doveli Aramejce što su s onu stranu Rijeke, na čelu sa Šofakom, vojvodom Hadadezerove vojske.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
Pošto su to javili Davidu, on skupi sve Izraelce i, prešavši preko Jordana, primače se Aramejcima i svrsta se prema njima; kad se David svrstao prema Aramejcima u bojni red, oni zametnuše s njime boj.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he slew Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
Ali Aramejci udariše u bijeg ispred Izraelaca i David im pobi sedam tisuća konja od bojnih kola i četrdeset tisuća pješaka; pogubio je i vojvodu Šofaka.
19 And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
Kad Hadadezerove sluge vidješe da ih je razbio Izrael, sklopiše mir s Davidom i počeše mu služiti. A Aramejci se više nisu usuđivali pomagati Amoncima.
