2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
E aconteceu depois disto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Ammon, e seu filho Hanun reinou em seu lugar.
2 David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
Então disse David: Usarei de beneficência com Hanun, filho de Nahas, como seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. E enviou David a consolá-lo, pelo ministério de seus servos, acerca de seu pai: e vieram os servos de David à terra dos filhos de Ammon.
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
Então disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Ammon a seu senhor, Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? porventura não te enviou David os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espia-la, e para transtorna-la?
4 Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
Então tomou Hanun os servos de David, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade dos vestidos, até às nádegas, e os despediu.
5 The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
O que fazendo saber a David, enviou a encontra-los; porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: deixai-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.
6 Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon, que se tinham feito abomináveis para David, enviaram os filhos de Ammon, e alugaram dos siros de Beth-rechob e dos siros 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 about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
O que ouvindo David, enviou a Joab e a todo o exército dos valentes.
8 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
E sairam os filhos de Ammon, e ordenaram a batalha à entrada da porta: mas os siros de Zoba e Rechob, e os homens de Tob e Maaca estavam à parte no campo.
9 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
Vendo pois Joab que estava preparada contra ele a frente da batalha, por diante e por detraz, escolheu dentre todos os escolhidos de Israel, e formou-os em linha contra os siros.
10 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Ammon.
11 Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em socorro; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a socorrer-te a ti.
12 We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
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 his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Então se achegou Joab, e o povo que estava com ele, à peleja contra os siros; e fugiram de diante dele.
14 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’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
E, vendo os filhos de Ammon que os siros fugiam, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade: e voltou Joab dos filhos de Ammon, e veio para Jerusalém.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
Vendo pois os siros que foram feridos diante de Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.
16 [Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
E enviou Hadadezer, e fez sair os siros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helam: e Sobach, chefe do exército de Hadadezer, marchava diante deles.
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
Do que informado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio a Helam: e os siros se puseram em ordem contra David, e pelejaram com ele.
18 But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e David feriu dentre os siros aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavalo: também ao mesmo Sobach, general do exército, feriu, e morreu ali.
19 When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group 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 siros de socorrer mais aos filhos de Ammon.
