1Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
1Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
2And 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,
2Tokosra David el fahk, “Nga enenu in akkalemye nunak in kawuk pwaye luk nu sel Hanun, oana ke Nahash papa tumal, el tuh oru nu sik.” Ouinge David el supwala mwet utuk kas in fahkak nunak in pakomuta lal ke misa papa tumal ah. Ke elos sun acn Ammon, ac utyak nu yorol Tokosra Hanun,
3the 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?”
3mwet kol lun mwet Ammon elos fahk nu sin tokosra, “Ku kom nunku mu David el akfulatye papa tomom, pa sis el supwama mwet inge in fahkak kas in pakomuta lal nu sum? Sutuu na sutuu! El supwalosme in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
4Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
5When 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.”
5Elos arulana mwekin in folokla nu yen selos. Ke David el lohng ke ma sikyak ah, el sapla nu yorolos tuh elos in mutana Jericho ac tia foloko nwe ke alut lalos ah kapak.
6When 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.
6Tokosra Hanun ac mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalok lac lalos. Ke ma inge elos sang apkuran in oalngoul tausin paun in silver nu sin mwet in acn Mesopotamia Lucng, oayapa mwet Maacah ac Zobah in acn Syria, tuh elos in moli chariot ac mwet in utuk chariot.
7So 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.
7Oasr chariot tolngoul luo tausin elos srukak, ac mwet mweun lal Tokosra Maacah elos tuku ac tulokunak nien aktuktuk lalos apkuran nu Medeba. Mwet Ammon elos wi pac tuku liki siti nukewa selos, ac elos akola in mweun.
8On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
8Ke David el lohng ma sikyak inge, el supwalla Joab ac mwet mweun lal nukewa.
9The 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.
9Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Na tokosra su tuku in welulos ke mweun, elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac we.
10When 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.
10Joab el liye tuh mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweunelos meet ah me ac tokolos me. Ouinge el sulela mwet ma wo emeet ke mweun sin mwet Israel, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria.
11And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
11Na el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, ac Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
12“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.
12Joab el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin liye tuh mwet Syria ac kutangyula, na kom tuku kasreyu, ac nga fin liye tuh mwet Ammon ac kutangkomla, na nga ac fahsrot kasrekom.
13Be 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.”
13Kom in ku ac pulaik! Lela kut in sang kuiyasr nufon in mweun ke mwet lasr ac ke siti nukewa lun God lasr. Finsrak tuh in fahsr ou ma lungse lun LEUM GOD !”
14So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
14Joab ac mwet lal fahsryak nu meet in mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
15When 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.
15Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingkunul Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el folokla nu Jerusalem.
16When 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.
16Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos use un mwet mweun Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac eisalosyang nu inpaol Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
17When 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.
17Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria. Mweun uh srola,
18But 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.
18na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itkosr tausin su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse. Elos oayapa unilya Shobach, captain lun mwet mweun Syria ah.
19When 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.
19Ke tokosra kewa su orekma nu sel Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos sin mwet Israel, na elos orek misla yorol David, ac mutawauk in orekma nu sel. Mwet Syria elos tia sifil lungse kasru mwet Ammon.
