撒母耳記下 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1此後， 亞捫 人的王死了，他兒子 哈嫩 接續他作王。
1After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
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。
2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came 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？」
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to 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。
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their 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 they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have 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。
6When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7大衛 聽見了，就差派 約押 統帶勇猛的全軍出去。
7When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
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。
8The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah 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。
9Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he 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。
10The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put 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。
11He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
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 courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
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。
13So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they 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。
14When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then 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。
15When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they 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。
16Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
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。
17David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with 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 。
18The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
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。
19When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
