< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio, mũthamaki wa Aamoni agĩkua, nake Hanuni, mũriũ, agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Nake Daudi agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnguonania ũtugi kũrĩ Hanuni mũrũ wa Nahashu, o ta ũrĩa ithe aanjĩkire maũndũ ma ũtugi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Hanuni makamũcakaithie nĩ ũndũ wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ ithe. Rĩrĩa andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Daudi maakinyire bũrũri-inĩ wa Aamoni-rĩ,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, in 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?
andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta a Aamoni makĩũria Hanuni mwathi wao atĩrĩ, “Ũreciiria Daudi nĩ thoguo aratĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gũgũtũmĩra andũ magũcakaithie? Githĩ Daudi ndatũmĩte andũ aya kũrĩ we nĩgeetha matuĩrie na mathigaane itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, nĩguo macooke marĩtunyane?”
4 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hanuni akĩnyiitithia andũ acio a Daudi, na akĩmenjithia nderu rwere rũmwe, na agĩtinia nguo ciao irima gatagatĩ ka njikarĩro, na akĩmaingata.
5 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio, agĩtũma andũ makamatũnge tondũ andũ acio nĩmaconorithĩtio mũno. Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ikarai kũu Jeriko nginya nderu cianyu ikũre, mũcooke mũũke.”
6 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.
Rĩrĩa Aamoni maamenyire atĩ nĩmatuĩkĩte kĩndũ kĩnungu harĩ Daudi-rĩ, makĩandĩka thigari cia magũrũ cia Asuriata ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuuma Bethi-Rehobu na Zoba, o na mũthamaki wa Maaka arĩ na andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe, o na ningĩ andũ ngiri ikũmi na igĩrĩ kuuma Tobu.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
Nake Daudi aigua ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩtũma Joabu na ita rĩothe rĩa mbaara.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Nao Aamoni makiumagara, makĩara mĩhari ya mbũtũ cia mbaara kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩao inene, nao Asuriata a Zoba na Rehobu, na andũ a Tobu na a Maaka maarĩ oiki kũu werũ-inĩ.
9 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:
Nake Joabu akĩona atĩ thigari nĩciarĩte mĩhari ya mbaara mbere yake o na thuutha wake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthuura mbũtũ imwe iria ciarĩ njamba mũno kũu Isiraeli, agĩcitũma ikarũe na Asuriata.
10 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.
Andũ acio angĩ akĩmaiga watho-inĩ wa Abishai mũrũ wa nyina, na akĩmatũma makarũe na andũ a Amoni.
11 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.
Joabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Asuriata mangĩĩngĩria hinya-rĩ, wee ũũke ũndeithie; no Aamoni mangĩgũkĩria hinya-rĩ, nĩngũũka ngũteithie.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good.
Wĩyũmĩrĩrie nĩgeetha tũrũe na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aitũ na nĩ ũndũ wa matũũra manene ma Ngai witũ. Jehova nĩegwĩka ũrĩa ekuona kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ make.”
13 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Ningĩ Joabu na mbũtũ ciake magĩtharĩkĩra Asuriata, nao makĩmoorĩra.
14 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.
Rĩrĩa Aamoni moonire atĩ Asuriata nĩmaroora-rĩ, o nao makĩũrĩra Abishai, magĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩrĩa inene. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu agĩcooka agĩtiga kũrũa na Aamoni na agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Thuutha wa Asuriata kuona atĩ nĩmatoorio nĩ andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe rĩngĩ.
16 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.
Hadadezeri aarehithĩtie Asuriata kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati; magĩthiĩ nginya Helamu marĩ hamwe, na Shobaki mũnene wa mbũtũ ya ita ya Hedadezeri, amatongoretie.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
Rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩcookanĩrĩria ita rĩa Isiraeli rĩothe, makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani na magĩthiĩ nginya Helamu. Nao Asuriata makĩara mĩhari ya thigari cia mbaara igatũngane na Daudi, makĩrũa nake.
18 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, so that he died there.
No rĩrĩ, Asuriata acio makĩũrĩra Isiraeli, nake Daudi akĩũraga andũ magana mũgwanja arĩa maatwarithagia ngaari ciao cia ita, na thigari cia magũrũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩna. Ningĩ akĩũraga Shobaki mũnene wa mbũtũ ciao, agĩkuĩra kũu.
19 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.
Rĩrĩa athamaki arĩa othe maarĩ ndungata cia Hadadezeri moonire atĩ nĩmahootwo nĩ Isiraeli-rĩ, magĩthondeka thayũ na andũ a Isiraeli na magĩtuĩka a gwathagwo nĩo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Asuriata magĩĩtigĩra gũcooka gũteithia Aamoni hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
