1 Chronicles 19

1 Some time later, Nahash, the king of the Ammon people-group, died. Then his son Hanun became their king.

At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na si Naas na hari ng mga anak ni Ammon ay namatay, at ang kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

2 [When] David [heard about that, he] thought [to himself], “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that he was sorry to hear that Hanun’s father [had died]. But when David’s officials came to Hanun in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,

At sinabi ni David, Ako'y magpapakita ng kagandahang loob kay Hanan na anak ni Naas, sapagka't ang kaniyang ama ay nagpakita ng kagandahang loob sa akin. Sa gayo'y nagsugo si David ng mga sugo upang aliwin siya tungkol sa kaniyang ama. At ang mga lingkod ni David ay naparoon sa lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon kay Hanan, upang aliwin siya.

3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is really to honor your father that King David is sending these men to say that he is sorry that your father died? [We think that] his men have come to (look around/spy) our city in order to determine how his [army] can conquer us.”

Nguni't sinabi ng mga prinsipe ng mga anak ni Ammon kay Hanan: Inaakala mo bang pinararangalan ni David ang iyong ama, na siya'y nagsugo ng mga mangaaliw sa iyo? hindi ba ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagsiparito sa iyo upang kilalanin, at upang gibain, at upang tiktikan ang lupain?

4 Hanun [believed what they said, so he commanded some soldiers to] seize the officials whom David had sent, and shave off their beards, and [insult them by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, and then send them away. [So his soldiers did that].

Sa gayo'y sinunggaban ni Hanan ang mga lingkod ni David, at inahitan, at pinutol ang kanilang mga suot sa gitna hanggang sa kanilang pigi, at sila'y pinayaon.

5 The officials were greatly humiliated/ashamed. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent some messengers to them to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”

Nang magkagayo'y may nagsiparoong ilan at nagsipagsaysay kay David kung paanong dinuwahagi ang mga lalake. At kaniyang sinugong salubungin sila; sapagka't ang mga lalake ay nangapahiyang mainam. At sinabi ng hari, Kayo'y magsipaghintay sa Jerico hanggang sa ang inyong balbas ay tumubo, at kung magkagayo'y magsibalik kayo.

6 Then the [leaders of the] Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David. So Hanun and some of his officials sent about (37,000 pounds/34,000 kg.) of silver to hire chariots and chariot-drivers from [the] Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Maacah and Zobah [regions of Syria northeast of Israel].

At nang makita ng mga anak ni Ammon na sila'y naging nakapopoot kay David, si Hanan at ang mga anak ni Ammon ay nagpadala ng isang libong talentong pilak, upang mangupahan sila ng mga karo at mga mangangabayo na mula sa Mesopotamia, at mula sa Aram-maacha, at mula sa Soba.

7 They hired 32,000 chariots and chariot-drivers, as well as the king of [the] Maacah [region] and his army. They came and set up their tents near Medeba [town in Moab region]. The soldiers from the Ammon people-group also marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) [at the entrance to their capital city, Rabbah].

Sa gayo'y nangupahan sila ng tatlongpu't dalawang libong karo, at sa hari sa Maacha at sa kaniyang bayan; na siyang pumaroon at humantong sa harap ng Medeba. At ang mga anak ni Ammon ay nagpipisan mula sa kanilang mga bayan, at nagsiparoon upang makipagbaka.

8 When David heard about that, he sent Joab and all his army.

At nang mabalitaan ni David, ay kaniyang sinugo si Joab at ang buong hukbo ng makapangyarihang mga lalake.

9 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group came out of their city and lined up for battle at the entrance to [their capital city, Rabbah]. Meanwhile, the other kings who had come [with their armies] stood in their positions in the open fields.

At ang mga anak ni Ammon, ay nagsilabas, at nagsihanay ng pakikipagbaka sa pintuan ng bayan: at ang mga hari na nagsiparoon ay nangagisa sa parang.

10 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he selected some of the best Israeli troops and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.

Nang makita nga ni Joab na ang pagbabaka ay nahahanay laban sa kaniya sa harapan at sa likuran, pinili niya yaong mga piling lalake ng Israel, at inihanay laban sa mga taga Siria.

11 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of his other soldiers and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.

At ang nalabi sa bayan ay kaniyang ipinamahala sa kapangyarihan ng kaniyang kapatid na si Abisai, at sila'y nagsihanay laban sa mga anak ni Ammon.

12 Joab said to them, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, then your soldiers must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat them, then my soldiers will come and help your men.

At sinabi niya, Kung ang mga taga Siria ay manaig sa akin, iyo ngang tutulungan ako: nguni't kung ang mga anak ni Ammon ay manaig sa iyo, akin ngang tutulungan ka.

13 We must be strong/courageous, and fight hard to [defend] our people and our cities (that belong to/where we worship) our God. I will pray that Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”

Magpakatapang kang mabuti, at tayo'y magpakalalake para sa ating bayan, at sa mga bayan ng ating Dios: at gawin ng Panginoon ang inaakala niyang mabuti.

14 So Joab and his troops [advanced to] fight the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.

Sa gayo'y si Joab at ang bayan na nasa kaniya ay nagsilapit sa harap ng mga taga Siria sa pakikipagbaka; at sila'y nagsitakas sa harap niya.

15 And when the soldiers of the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.

At nang makita ng mga anak ni Ammon na ang mga taga Siria ay nagsitakas, sila ma'y nagsitakas sa harap ni Abisai na kaniyang kapatid, at nagsipasok sa bayan. Nang magkagayo'y si Joab ay naparoon sa Jerusalem.

16 After [the leaders of the army of] Syria realized that they had been defeated by [the army of] Israel, they sent messengers to [another part of Syria on] the east side of the [Euphrates] river, and brought troops from there [to the battle area], with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.

At nang makita ng mga taga Siria na sila'y nalagay sa kasamaan sa harap ng Israel, sila'y nagsipagsugo ng mga sugo, at dinala ang mga taga Siria na nandoon sa dako roon ng Ilog, na kasama ni Sophach na punong kawal ng hukbo ni Adarezer sa kanilang unahan.

17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River]. They advanced and took their battle positions to attack the army of Syria.

At nasaysay kay David; at kaniyang pinisan ang buong Israel, at tumawid sa Jordan, at naparoon sa kanila, at humanay laban sa kanila. Sa gayo'y nang humanay sa pakikipagbaka si David laban sa mga taga Siria, sila'y nangakipaglaban sa kaniya.

18 But the army of Syria ran away from the soldiers of Israel. However, David’s soldiers killed 7,000 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also killed Shophach, their army commander.

At ang mga taga Siria ay nagsitakas sa harap ng Israel; at si David ay pumatay sa mga taga Siria ng mga tao sa pitong libong karo, at apat na pung libong naglalakad, at pinatay si Sophach na pinunong kawal ng hukbo.

19 When the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli army, they made peace with David, and agreed to allow him to rule them. So the rulers of Syria did not want to help the rulers of the Ammon people-group any more.

At nang makita ng mga lingkod ni Adarezer na sila'y nangalagay sa kasamaan sa harap ng Israel, sila'y nakipagpayapaan kay David, at nangaglingkod sa kaniya: ni hindi na tumulong pa ang mga taga Siria sa mga anak ni Ammon.
