1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Nahash eze ndị Amọn nwụrụ, nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
Mgbe ahụ, Devid chere sị, “Aga m egosi Hanọn nwa Nahash obi ebere nʼihi na nna ya gosiri m obi ebere.” Ya mere, Devid zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa kasịe ya obi nʼihi ọnwụ nna ya. Mgbe ndị ozi Devid bịakwutere Hanọn nʼala ndị Amọn ịkasị ya obi,
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
ndịisi ala Amọn sịrị Hanọn, bụ onyenwe ha, “Ị na-eche na Devid na-akwanyere nna gị ụgwụ site na izite ndị ozi ya ka ha bịa kasịe gị obi? Ọ bụ na ndị ozi ya abịakwuteghị gị, naanị ka ha mee nledo, nyochapụta otu obodo a dị ma kwatuo ya?”
4 Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
Nʼihi nke a, Hanọn jidere ndị ozi Devid nʼike, kpụchapụ ha ajị, bipụkwa uwe mwụda ha nʼetiti ike ha, zilaga ha.
5 And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
Mgbe otu onye bịara zie Devid ihe banyere ndị ikom ahụ, o zipụrụ ndị ozi, ka ha gaa zute ha, nʼihi na e mere ha ihe ihere nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu. Eze sịrị, “Nọdụnụ na Jeriko tutu ruo mgbe afụọnụ unu tolitere, mgbe ahụ unu ga-alọta.”
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
Ma mgbe ndị Amọn chọpụtara na ha abụrụla ihe ịsọ oyi nʼebe Devid nọ, Hanọn na ndị Amọn zipụrụ otu puku talenti ọlaọcha iji gbazite ụgbọ agha na ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha site na Aram Naharaim, na Aram Maaka, nakwa Zoba.
7 And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
Ha goro ụgbọ agha ọnụọgụgụ ya dị iri puku atọ, na puku abụọ. Ha gokwara eze Maaka na ndị agha ya, ndị bịara maa ụlọ ikwu agha ha na nso Medeba, ebe ndị Amọn sikwa nʼobodo ha niile chịkọta onwe ha pụta ịlụ agha.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
Mgbe Devid nụrụ nke a, o zipụrụ Joab na ndị agha ya niile bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
Ndị Amọn pụtara doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ha. Ma ndị eze ahụ bịara agha, nọpụrụ onwe ha na mbara ala.
10 Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
Mgbe Joab hụrụ na agha dị megide ya nʼihu na azụ, ọ họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ọkachamara site nʼetiti ndị agha Izrel, doo ha nʼusoro izute ndị Aram.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
O tinyere ndị ikom fọdụrụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Abishai, nwanne ya, e zipụrụ ha izute ndị Amọn nʼagha.
12 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, I will help thee.
Mgbe Abishai na-apụ, Joab gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị Aram esie ike karịa m, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-abịa napụta m. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ndị Amọn adịrị ike karịa gị, aga m abịa napụta gị.
13 Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
Nwee obi ike, ka anyị lụọ ọgụ a dịka ndị dị ike, nʼihi ndị anyị na obodo niile nke Chineke anyị. Ka Onyenwe anyị meekwa ihe dị mma nʼanya ya.”
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Mgbe ahụ, Joab na ndị agha so ya bịara nso ibuso ndị Aram agha, ha sitere nʼihu ha gbapụ ọsọ.
15 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
Mgbe ndị Amọn hụrụ ka ndị Aram na-agbapụ ọsọ, ha onwe ha gbakwaara ọsọ nʼihu Abishai, gbaba nʼime obodo. Ya mere, Joab laghachiri na Jerusalem.
16 But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
Ma mgbe ndị Aram hụrụ na ndị Izrel tigburu ha, ha zipụrụ ndị ozi gara kpọta ndị Aram site nʼofe ọzọ nke Osimiri Yufretis. Ọ bụ Shofaka ọchịagha ndị agha Hadadeza na-edu ha.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
Mgbe a gwara Devid banyere nke a, ọ chịkọtara ndị Izrel niile, pụọ gafee Jọdan. O gara nso imegide ha, o doro usoro agha ya na ncherita ihu ha. Devid doro usoro ndị agha ya izute ndị Aram nʼagha, ha lụsokwara ya agha.
18 But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
Ma ha sitere nʼihu ndị Izrel gbaa ọsọ. Devid gburu puku asaa nʼime ndị ikom na-anya ụgbọ agha, gbukwaa iri puku ndị agha anọ ndị na-eji ụkwụ eje. O gbukwara Shofaka, bụ ọchịagha agha ha.
19 And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
Mgbe ndị eze niile nọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Hadadeza hụrụ na Izrel etigbuola ha, ha mere ka ha na Devid dịrị nʼudo, bụrụkwa ndị nọ nʼokpuru ya. Ya mere, ndị Aram adịghịkwa njikere inyere ụmụ Amọn aka ọzọ.
