2 Samuel 10
1 Depois disto aconteceu, que morreu o rei dos filhos de Amom: e reinou em lugar seu Hanum seu filho.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2 E disse Davi: Eu farei misericórdia com Hanum filho de Naás, como seu pai a fez comigo. E enviou Davi seus servos a consolá-lo por seu pai. Mas chegados os servos de Davi à terra dos filhos de Amom,
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 Os príncipes dos filhos de Amom disseram a Hanum seu senhor: Parece-te que para Davi honrar a teu pai te enviou consoladores? Não enviou Davi seus servos a ti por reconhecer e inspecionar a cidade, para destruí-la?
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
4 Então Hanum tomou os servos de Davi, e rapou-lhes a metade da barba, e cortou-lhes as roupas pela metade até as nádegas, e despachou-os.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 O qual quando foi feito saber a Davi, enviou a encontrar-lhes, porque eles estavam em extremo envergonhados; e o rei fez dizer lhes: Ficai-vos em Jericó até que vos volte a nascer a barba, e então regressareis.
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
6 E vendo os filhos de Amom que se fizeram odiosos a Davi, enviaram os filhos de Amom e alugaram aos sírios da casa de Reobe, e aos sírios de Zobá, vinte mil homens a pé: e do rei de Maaca mil homens, e de Tobe doze mil homens.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 O qual quando ouviu Davi, enviou a Joabe com todo o exército dos valentes.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 E saindo os filhos de Amom, ordenaram seus esquadrões à entrada da porta: mas os sírios de Zobá, e de Reobe, e de Tobe, e de Maaca, estavam à parte no campo.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
9 Vendo, pois, Joabe que havia esquadrões diante e detrás dele, escolheu de todos os escolhidos de Israel, e pôs-se em ordem contra os sírios.
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 Entregou logo o que restou do povo em mão de Abisai seu irmão, e o pôs em ordem para encontrar aos amonitas.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 E disse: Se os sírios me forem superiores, tu me ajudarás; e se os filhos de Amom puderem mais que tu, eu te darei ajuda.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
12 Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos por nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus: e faça o SENHOR o que bem lhe parecer.
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 E aproximou-se Joabe, e o povo que com ele estava, para lutar com os sírios; mas eles fugiram diante dele.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14 Então os filhos de Amom, vendo que os sírios haviam fugido, fugiram também eles diante de Abisai, e entraram-se na cidade. E voltou Joabe dos filhos de Amom, e veio a Jerusalém.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Mas vendo os sírios que haviam caído diante de Israel, voltaram a se juntar.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 E enviou Hadadezer, e tirou os sírios que estavam da outra parte do rio, os quais vieram a Helã, levando por chefe a Sobaque general do exército de Hadadezer.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
17 E quando foi dado aviso a Davi, juntou a todo Israel, e passando o Jordão veio a Helã: e os sírios se puseram em ordem contra Davi, e lutaram com ele.
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
18 Mas os sírios fugiram diante de Israel: e feriu Davi dos sírios a gente de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil cavaleiros: feriu também a Sobaque general do exército, e morreu ali.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
19 Vendo, pois todos os reis que assistiam a Hadadezer, como haviam eles sido derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e serviram-no; e dali adiante temeram os sírios de socorrer aos filhos de Amom.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
