撒母耳記下 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1此後， 亞捫 人的王死了，他兒子 哈嫩 接續他作王。
1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2大衛 說：「我要照 哈嫩 的父親 拿轄 厚待我的恩典厚待 哈嫩 。」於是 大衛 差遣臣僕，為他喪父安慰他。 大衛 的臣僕到了 亞捫 人的境內。
2And 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但 亞捫 人的首領對他們的主 哈嫩 說：「 大衛 差人來安慰你，你想他是尊敬你父親嗎？他差臣僕來不是詳察窺探、要傾覆這城嗎？」
3The 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哈嫩 便將 大衛 臣僕的鬍鬚剃去一半，又割斷他們下半截的衣服，使他們露出下體，打發他們回去。
4Wherefore 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有人告訴 大衛 ，他就差人去迎接他們，（因為他們甚覺羞恥），告訴他們說：「可以住在 耶利哥 ，等到鬍鬚長起再回來。」
5When 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亞捫 人知道 大衛 憎惡他們，就打發人去，招募 伯‧利合 的 亞蘭 人和 瑣巴 的 亞蘭 人，步兵二萬，與 瑪迦 王的人一千、 陀伯 人一萬二千。
6And 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大衛 聽見了，就差派 約押 統帶勇猛的全軍出去。
7And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8亞捫 人出來，在城門前擺陣； 瑣巴 與 利合 的 亞蘭 人、 陀伯 人，並 瑪迦 人，另在郊野擺陣。
8And 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約押 看見敵人在他前後擺陣，就從 以色列 軍中挑選精兵，使他們對着 亞蘭 人擺陣。
9Then 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其餘的兵交與他兄弟 亞比篩 ，對着 亞捫 人擺陣。
10And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11約押 對 亞比篩 說：「 亞蘭 人若強過我，你就來幫助我； 亞捫 人若強過你，我就去幫助你。
11And 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我們都當剛強，為本國的民和上帝的城邑作大丈夫。願耶和華憑他的意旨而行！」
12Be 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於是， 約押 和跟隨他的人前進攻打 亞蘭 人； 亞蘭 人在 約押 面前逃跑。
13And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14亞捫 人見 亞蘭 人逃跑，他們也在 亞比篩 面前逃跑進城。 約押 就離開 亞捫 人那裏，回 耶路撒冷 去了。
14And 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亞蘭 人見自己被 以色列 人打敗，就又聚集。
15Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16哈大底謝 差遣人，將大河那邊的 亞蘭 人調來；他們到了 希蘭 ， 哈大底謝 的將軍 朔法 率領他們。
16And 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有人告訴 大衛 ，他就聚集 以色列 眾人，過 約旦河 ，來到 希蘭 。 亞蘭 人迎着 大衛 擺陣，與他打仗。
17And 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亞蘭 人在 以色列 人面前逃跑； 大衛 殺了 亞蘭 七百輛戰車 的人 ，四萬馬兵，又殺了 亞蘭 的將軍 朔法 。
18And 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屬 哈大底謝 的諸王見自己被 以色列 人打敗，就與 以色列 人和好，歸服他們。於是 亞蘭 人不敢再幫助 亞捫 人了。
19And 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.
