2 Samuel 10

¹Sesudah itu matilah raja bani Amon; dan Hanun, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

¹After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

²Lalu berkatalah Daud: "Aku akan menunjukkan persahabatan kepada Hanun bin Nahas, sama seperti ayahnya telah menunjukkan persahabatan kepadaku." Sebab itu Daud menyuruh menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita kepadanya dengan perantaraan pegawai-pegawainya karena kematian ayahnya. Tetapi ketika pegawai-pegawai Daud sampai ke negeri bani Amon itu,

²And David said, "I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me." So David sent by his servants to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the Ammonites.

³berkatalah pemuka-pemuka bani Amon itu kepada Hanun, tuan mereka: "Apakah menurut anggapanmu Daud hendak menghormati ayahmu, karena ia telah mengutus kepadamu orang-orang yang menyampaikan pesan turut berdukacita? Bukankah dengan maksud untuk menyelidik kota ini, untuk mengintainya dan menghancurkannya maka Daud mengutus pegawai-pegawainya itu kepadamu?"

³But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it?"

⁴Lalu Hanun menyuruh menangkap pegawai-pegawai Daud itu, disuruhnya mencukur setengah dari janggut mereka dan memotong pakaian mereka pada bagian tengah sampai pantat mereka, kemudian dilepasnya mereka.

⁴So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half the beard of each and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away.

⁵Hal ini diberitahukan kepada Daud, lalu disuruhnya orang menemui mereka, sebab orang-orang itu sangat dipermalukan. Raja berkata: "Tinggallah di Yerikho sampai janggutmu itu tumbuh, kemudian datanglah kembali."

⁵When it was told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return."

⁶Setelah dilihat bani Amon, bahwa mereka dibenci Daud, maka bani Amon itu menyuruh orang menyewa dari orang Aram-Bet-Rehob dan orang Aram dari Zoba dua puluh ribu orang pasukan berjalan kaki, dari raja negeri Maakha seribu orang dan dari orang-orang Tob dua belas ribu orang.

⁶When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob, 12,000 men.

⁷Ketika Daud mendengar hal itu, disuruhnyalah Yoab maju dengan segenap pasukan pahlawan.

⁷And when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the host of the mighty men.

⁸Lalu bani Amon maju, diaturnya barisan perangnya di depan pintu gerbang, sedang orang Aram dari Zoba dan dari Rehob dan orang-orang Tob dan Maakha ada tersendiri di padang.

⁸And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.

⁹Ketika Yoab melihat, bahwa serangan itu mengancam dia dari depan dan dari belakang, maka dipilihnyalah sebagian dari orang pilihan Israel, lalu ia mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan orang Aram itu.

⁹When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians.

¹⁰Selebihnya dari rakyat itu ditempatkannya di bawah pimpinan Abisai, adiknya, yang mengatur barisan mereka berhadapan dengan bani Amon itu.

¹⁰The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites.

¹¹Lalu berkatalah Yoab: "Jika orang Aram itu lebih kuat dari padaku, maka haruslah engkau menolong aku, tetapi jika bani Amon itu lebih kuat dari padamu, maka aku akan datang menolong engkau.

¹¹And he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

¹²Kuatkanlah hatimu dan marilah kita menguatkan hati untuk bangsa kita dan untuk kota-kota Allah kita. TUHAN kiranya melakukan yang baik di mata-Nya."

¹²Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to him."

¹³Lalu Yoab dan tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia maju berperang melawan orang Aram dan orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapannya.

¹³So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.

¹⁴Ketika bani Amon melihat, bahwa orang Aram sudah melarikan diri, maka merekapun larilah dari hadapan Abisai dan masuk ke dalam kota. Sesudah itu pulanglah Yoab setelah memerangi bani Amon dan sampailah ia ke Yerusalem.

¹⁴And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Ketika orang Aram melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka berkumpullah mereka bersama-sama.

¹⁵But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

¹⁶Juga Hadadezer menyuruh orang Aram yang di seberang sungai Efrat maju berperang; mereka sampai ke Helam di bawah pimpinan Sobakh, panglima tentara Hadadezer.

¹⁶And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphrates. They came to Helam, with Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

¹⁷Setelah hal itu diberitahukan kepada Daud, maka dikumpulkannya seluruh orang Israel, diseberanginya sungai Yordan, lalu sampai ke Helam. Orang Aram mengatur barisannya berhadapan dengan Daud dan bertempur melawan dia,

¹⁷And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan and came to Helam. The Syrians arrayed themselves against David and fought with him.

¹⁸tetapi orang Aram itu lari dari hadapan orang Israel, dan Daud membunuh dari orang Aram itu tujuh ratus ekor kuda kereta dan empat puluh ribu orang pasukan berkuda. Sobakh, panglima tentara mereka, dilukainya sedemikian, hingga ia mati di sana.

¹⁸And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 700 chariots, and 40,000 horsemen, and wounded Shobach the commander of their army, so that he died there.

¹⁹Ketika dilihat semua raja, yang takluk kepada Hadadezer, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, maka mereka mengadakan perdamaian dengan orang Israel dan takluk kepada mereka; sesudah itu takutlah orang Aram memberi pertolongan lagi kepada bani Amon.

¹⁹And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites anymore.
