< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.
A poslije toga umrije car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se Anun sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
2 And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
I reèe David: da uèinim milost Anunu sinu Nasovu, kao što je otac njegov meni uèinio milost. I posla David da ga potješi za ocem preko sluga svojih. I doðoše sluge Davidove u zemlju sinova Amonovijeh.
3 But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?
A knezovi sinova Amonovijeh rekoše Anunu gospodaru svojemu: misliš da je David zato poslao ljude da te potješe, što je rad uèiniti èast ocu tvojemu? a nije zato poslao David k tebi sluge svoje da promotri grad i uhodi, pa poslije da ga raskopa?
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.
Tada Anun uhvati sluge Davidove, i obrija im brade do pola i otsijeèe im haljine po pole, do zadnjice, i opravi ih natrag.
5 When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
A kad to javiše Davidu, on posla pred njih, jer ljudi bijahu grdno osramoæeni, i poruèi im car: sjedite u Jerihonu dokle vam naraste brada, pa onda doðite natrag.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.
Tada sinovi Amonovi videæi gdje se omraziše s Davidom, poslaše sinovi Amonovi, te najmiše Siraca od Vet-Reova i Siraca od Sove dvadeset tisuæa pješaka, i u cara od Mahe tisuæu ljudi, i od Is-Tova dvanaest tisuæa ljudi.
7 And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.
A David kad to èu, posla Joava sa svom hrabrom vojskom svojom.
8 And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
I izidoše sinovi Amonovi, i uvrstaše se pred vratima, a Sirci iz Sove i iz Reova i ljudi iz Is-Tova i iz Mahe bijahu za sebe u polju.
9 Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
I Joav videæi namještenu vojsku prema sebi sprijed i ozad, uze odabrane iz sve vojske Izrailjske, i namjesti ih prema Sircima;
10 And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
A ostali narod predade Avisaju bratu svojemu da ih namjesti prema sinovima Amonovijem.
11 And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
I reèe: ako Sirci budu jaèi od mene, doði mi u pomoæ; ako li sinovi Amonovi budu jaèi od tebe, ja æu doæi tebi u pomoæ.
12 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.
Budi hrabar, i držimo se hrabro za svoj narod i za gradove Boga svojega; a Gospod neka uèini što mu je po volji.
13 Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
Tada Joav i narod koji bješe s njim primakoše se da udare na Sirce, ali oni pobjegoše ispred njega.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
A sinovi Amonovi videæi gdje pobjegoše Sirci, pobjegoše i oni ispred Avisaja, i uðoše u svoj grad. I vrati se Joav od sinova Amonovijeh, i doðe u Jerusalim.
15 And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.
Ali Sirci kad vidješe gdje ih nadbiše Izrailjci, skupiše se opet.
16 And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
I Adarezer posla, te dovede Sirce ispreko rijeke, koji doðoše u Elam; a Sovak vojvoda Adarezerov iðaše pred njima.
17 And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.
Kad to javiše Davidu, on skupi sve Izrailjce, i prijeðe preko Jordana i doðe u Elam; i Sirci se namjestiše protiv Davida i pobiše se s Davidom.
18 And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.
Ali pobjegoše Sirci ispred Izrailja, i pobi David Siraca sedam stotina i èetrdeset tisuæa konjika; i Sovaka vojvodu njihova ubi, te pogibe ondje.
19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.
I kad vidješe svi carevi, sluge Adarezerove, da ih razbi Izrailj, uèiniše mir s Izrailjem, i služahu im, i Sirci ne smijahu više pomagati sinovima Amonovijem.
