1 Cronicas 19
1 Napasamak daytoy iti saan a nabayag kalpasan a natay ni Naas nga ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket ti putotna a lalaki ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
2 Kinuna ni David, “Pakitaak iti kinaimbag ni Hanun a putot ni Naas, gapu ta pinakitaannak iti kinasayaat ti amana.” Isu a nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero a mangliwliwa kenkuana maipapan iti amana. Simrek dagiti adipen ni David iti daga dagiti Ammonita ket nagturongda kenni Hanun tapno liwliwaenda isuna.
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
3 Ngem kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo ti Ammon kenni Hanun, “Pagarupem kadi a padpadayawan ni David ti amam gapu iti panangibaonna kadagiti lallaki a mangliwliwa kenka? Saan kadi nga immay dagiti adipenna kenka tapno agdakiwas ken agsukimatda iti daga tapno sakupenda daytoy?”
the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
4 Tiniliw ngarud ni Hanun dagiti adipen ni David, binarbasanna ida, pinutedna dagiti pagan-anayda nga agpatingga iti siketda, a dumanon kadagiti patongda ket pinagawidna ida.
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 Idi impalawagda daytoy kenni David, nangibaon isuna iti mangkita kadakuada, ta kasta unay ti bain dagiti lallaki. Kinuna ti ari, “Agtalinaedkayo idiayJerico agingga nga agtubo dagiti barbasyo, kalpasanna, agsublikayo.”
When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
6 Idi naamiris dagiti Ammonita a nadadaeldan kenni David, nangipatulod ni Hanun ken dagiti Ammonita iti sangaribu a talento ti pirak a pangabangda kadagiti karuahe dagiti Arameo ken kadagiti kumakabalio manipud iti Naharaim, Maaca ken Soba.
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
7 Inabanganda dagiti tallopulo ket dua a ribu a karuaheda agraman ti ari ti Maaca ken dagiti tattaona a dimteng a nagkampo iti asideg ti Medeba. Naguummong dagiti Ammonita manipud kadagiti siudadda ket rimmuarda tapno makigubat.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
8 Idi nadamag ni David daytoy, imbaonna ni Joab ken ti sibubukel nga armadana a mangsabat kadakuada.
On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
9 Rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Ammon ken nagsaganada iti ruangan ti siudad a makigubat, bayat a dagiti ari nga immay ket addada iti away.
The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
10 Idi nakita ni Joab nga agpada a dumarup kenkuana dagiti nakasagana a makigubat iti sangoanan ken likudanna, pinilina dagiti sumagmamano a kalaingan a mannakigubat ti Israel ket pinagpuestona ida maibusor kadagiti taga-Aram.
When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
11 Bayat nga impaidauloanna iti kabsatna a ni Abisai dagiti nabati nga armada ket pinagsaganana ida a makigubat kadagiti armada ti Ammon.
And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
12 Kinuna ni Joab, “No napigpigsa dagiti Arameo ngem kadakami, masapul ngarud a tulongannak, Abisai. Ngem no napigpigsa dagiti tattao ti Ammon ngem kadakayo, umayakto ngarud ket ispalenka.
“If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
13 Tumuredka, ket ipakitatayo a naturedtayo para kadagiti tattaotayo ken para kadagiti siudad ti Diostayo, ta aramidento ni Yahweh no ania ti nasayaat para iti panggepna.”
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
14 Dimmarup ngarud ni Joab ken dagiti soldadona tapno makigubat kadagiti Arameo, a kapilitan a naglibas iti sangoanan ti armada ti Israel.
So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
15 Idi nakita ti armada ti Ammon a naglibas dagiti Arameo, linibasanda met ni Abisai a kabsat ni Joab ket nagsublida iti siudad. Kalpasanna, pinanawan ni Joab dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
16 Ket idi nakita dagiti Arameo a naparmek idan ti Israel, nangayabda iti tumulong kadakuada manipud iti ballasiw ti Karayan Eufrates, kaduada ni Sobak a mangidadaulo iti armada ni Adadeser.
When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 Idi naibaga kenni David daytoy, inummongna ti sibubukel nga Israel, binallasiwda ti Jordan, ket nakadanonda kadakuada. Pinagsaganana ti armada a makigubat kadagiti Arameo, ket kinarangetda isuna.
When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
18 Pimmanaw dagiti Arameo manipud Israel, ket pinatay ni David ti pito a ribu a mangiturturong kadagiti karuahe ken uppat a pulo a ribu a magmagna a soldado. Pinatayna pay ni Sobak a pangulo iti armada.
But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
19 Idi nakita dagiti amin nga ari nga agserserbi kenni Adadeser a naparmek ida ti Israel, nakikappiada kenni David ket nagserbida kadakuada. Isu a saanen a kayat a tulongan dagiti tattao ti Aram dagiti Ammonita.
When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
