1 Chronicles 19
1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Nahash eze ndị Amọn nwụrụ, nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
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 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the 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 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, 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 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then 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 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
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 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from 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 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
Mgbe Devid nụrụ nke a, o zipụrụ Joab na ndị agha ya niile bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha.
9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves 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 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array 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 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
O tinyere ndị ikom fọdụrụ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Abishai, nwanne ya, e zipụrụ ha izute ndị Amọn nʼagha.
12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
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 courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”
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 who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
Mgbe ahụ, Joab na ndị agha so ya bịara nso ibuso ndị Aram agha, ha sitere nʼihu ha gbapụ ọsọ.
15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
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 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, 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 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain 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 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians 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.
