1 Chronicles 19
1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
А после тога умре Нас, цар синова Амонових, и зацари се син његов на његово место.
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.
И рече Давид: Да учиним милост Ануну сину Насовом, јер је отац његов начинио мени милост. И посла Давид посланике да га потеше за оцем. И дођоше слуге Давидове у земљу синова Амонових к Ануну да га потеше.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honours 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?”
А кнезови синова Амонових рекоше Ануну, господару свом: Мислиш да је Давид зато послао људе да те потеше што је рад учинити част оцу твом? А нису зато дошле слуге његове к теби да промотре и уходе и оборе земљу?
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
Тада Анун ухвати слуге Давидове, и обрија их и одсече им хаљине по поле до задњице, и оправи их натраг.
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.”
А кад неки отидоше, те јавише Давиду за те људе, он посла пред њих, јер људи беху грдно осрамоћени, и поручи им цар: Седите у Јерихону док вам нарасте брада, па онда дођите натраг.
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.
А кад видеше синови Амонови где се омразише с Давидом, онда Анун и синови Амонови послаше хиљаду таланата сребра да најме кола и коњика из Месопотамије и из Сирије Махе и из Сове.
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.
И најмише тридесет и две хиљаде кола и цара од Махе с народом његовим, који дођоше и стадоше у логор према Медеви. А и синови Амонови скупише се из градова својих и дођоше на бој.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
А Давид кад то чу, посла Јоава са свом храбром војском.
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.
И изиђоше синови Амонови и уврсташе се пред вратима градским; а цареви који дођоше беху за се у пољу.
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.
И Јоав видећи намештену војску према себи спред и састраг, узе одабране из све војске израиљске, и намести их према Сирцима.
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.
А остали народ предаде Ависају, брату свом; и наместише их према синовима Амоновим.
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.
И рече: Ако Сирци буду јачи од мене, дођи ми у помоћ; ако ли синови Амонови буду јачи од тебе, ја ћу теби доћи у помоћ.
13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
Буди јунак и држимо се јуначки за свој народ и за градове Бога свог; а Господ нека учини шта му је драго.
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.
Тада Јоав и народ који беше с њим примакоше се да ударе на Сирце; али они побегоше испред њих.
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.
А синови Амонови кад видеше где побегоше Сирци, побегоше и они испред Ависаја брата његовог и уђоше у свој град. Потом се Јоав врати у Јерусалим.
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.
Али Сирци кад видеше да их надбише Израиљци, послаше посланике те доведоше Сирце испреко реке; а Софак војвода Адад-Езеров иђаше пред њима.
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.
Кад то јавише Давиду, он скупи све Израиљце, и пређе преко Јордана, и дође к њима и намести војску према њима; а кад намести Давид војску према њима, побише се с њим.
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.
Али побегоше Сирци испред Израиља, и поби Давид Сираца седам хиљада кола и четрдесет хиљада пешака, и Софака војводу погуби.
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.
И кад видеше слуге Адад-Езерове да их разби Израиљ, учинише мир с Давидом и служаху му; и не хтеше више Сирци помагати синовима Амоновим.
