2 Samuel 10

1 It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

E aconteceu depois d'isto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Ammon, e seu filho Hanun reinou em seu logar.

2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.

Então disse David: Usarei de beneficencia com Hanun, filho de Nahas, como seu pae usou de beneficencia comigo. E enviou David a consolal-o, pelo ministerio de seus servos, ácerca de seu pae: e vieram os servos de David á terra dos filhos de Ammon.

3 But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"

Então disseram os principes dos filhos d'Ammon a seu senhor, Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pae aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? porventura não te enviou David os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espial-a, e para transtornal-a?

4 So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

Então tomou Hanun os servos de David, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade dos vestidos, até ás nadegas, e os despediu.

5 When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

O que fazendo saber a David, enviou a encontral-os; porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: Deixae-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.

6 When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.

Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon, que se tinham feito abominaveis para David, enviaram os filhos d'Ammon, e alugaram dos syros de Beth-rechob e dos syros de Zoba vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca mil homens e dos homens de Tob doze mil homens.

7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.

O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exercito dos valentes.

8 The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

E sairam os filhos d'Ammon, e ordenaram a batalha á entrada da porta: mas os syros de Zoba e Rechob, e os homens de Tob e Maaca estavam á parte no campo.

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 Arameans:

Vendo pois Joab que estava preparada contra elle a frente da batalha, por diante e por detraz, escolheu d'entre todos os escolhidos de Israel, e formou-os em linha contra os syros.

10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.

E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.

11 He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

E disse: Se os syros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em soccorro; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a soccorrer-te a ti.

12 Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."

Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o Senhor então o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.

13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.

Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com elle, á peleja contra os syros; e fugiram de diante d'elle.

14 When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

E, vendo os filhos d'Ammon que os syros fugiam, tambem elles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade: e voltou Joab dos filhos d'Ammon, e veiu para Jerusalem.

15 When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.

Vendo pois os syros que foram feridos diante d'Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.

16 Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

E enviou Hadadezer, e fez sair os syros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helam: e Sobach, chefe do exercito de Hadadezer, marchava diante d'elles.

17 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

Do que informado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veiu a Helam: e os syros se pozeram em ordem contra David, e pelejaram com elle.

18 The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.

Porém os syros fugiram de diante de Israel, e David feriu d'entre os syros aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavallo: tambem ao mesmo Sobach, general do exercito, feriu, e morreu ali.

19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the people of Ammon any more.

Vendo pois todos os reis, servos de Hadadezer, que foram feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e o serviram: e temeram os syros de soccorrer mais aos filhos de Ammon.
