1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
1Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa hono foha ko Hanuni.
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,
2Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Tevita, “Te u fakahā ʻae ʻofa kia Hanuni ko e foha ʻo Naʻasi, koeʻuhi ko e fakahā ʻae ʻofa kiate au ʻe heʻene tamai.” Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke nau fakafiemālieʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
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?
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe fānau ʻo Hanuni ko honau ʻeiki, “ʻOku ke mahalo, kuo fai fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa Tevita ki hoʻo tamai, ʻi heʻene fekau mai ʻae kau fakafiemālie kiate koe? ʻIkai kuo fekau mai ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke nau hakule ʻae kolo, pea mamata ki ai, pea ke nau lavaʻi ia?”
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.
4Ko ia naʻe puke ʻe Hanuni ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, mo ne tele fakapotu taha ʻa honau fakapau, mo ne tuʻusi fakavaeua ʻa honau ngaahi kofu vala, ʻo fai mei he tuʻungaiku, mo ne toki fekau ke nau ʻalu.
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.
5Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ʻo fakahā ia kia Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ha niʻihi ke fakafetaulaki atu kiate kinautolu, he naʻa nau mā lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Mou tatali ʻi Seliko kaeʻoua ke toe tupu ʻa homou kava, pea mou toki haʻu.”
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.
6¶ Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni kuo nau namukū ʻi he ʻao ʻo Tevita, naʻe fekau atu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo nau totongi ki he kakai Silia naʻe nofo ʻi Pete-Lehopi, mo e kakai Silia ʻi Sopa, ko e kau tangata hāʻele ʻe toko ua mano, pea mei he tuʻi ko Meaka ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko taha afe, pea mo e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe meia Isitopi.
7And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
7Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻa Soape, pea mo ʻene kau tangata tau kotoa pē.
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.
8Pea naʻe hū mai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻae tau ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo: ka naʻe tuʻu kehe fakataha ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻae kakai Silia ʻo Sopa, pea mo Lehopi, pea mo Isitopi, pea mo Meaka.
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:
9Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Soape kuo fakanofo mai ʻae tau mei muʻa pea mei mui, naʻa ne fili mai ʻae kau toʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ongoongoa, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia:
10And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
10Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻa ne tuku ki he nima ʻo hono tokoua ko ʻApisai, koeʻuhi ke ne tauʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
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.
11Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe mālohi fau ʻae kakai Silia kiate au, te ke toki tokoni mai ʻe koe: pea kapau ʻe mālohi fau kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, te u toki haʻu au ʻo tokoni kiate koe.
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.
12Mou lototoʻa, pea ke tau fai ʻo ngalingali tangata koeʻuhi ko hotau kakai, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo hotau ʻOtua: pea ke fai ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate ia.”
13And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
13Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Soape, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, ke nau tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia: pea naʻa nau hola mei hono ʻao.
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.
14Pea ʻi he sio ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻoku hola ʻae kakai Silia, naʻa nau toki hola foki mei he ʻao ʻo ʻApisai, ʻonau hū ki he kolo. Ko ia naʻe foki mai ʻa Soape mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo ne haʻu ki Selūsalema.
15Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
15¶ Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe he kakai Silia kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu.
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.
16Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Hetatesa, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae kakai Silia naʻe nofo ʻi he tuʻa vaitafe: pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻElami; pea naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ʻa Hetatesa.
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.
17Pea ʻi hono fakahā eni kia Tevita, naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, pea naʻa nau āʻa atu ʻi Sioatani, ʻonau hoko atu ki ʻElami. Pea naʻe teuteuʻi ʻae tau ʻae kakai Silia kia Tevita, pea naʻa nau tau mo ia.
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.
18Pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai Silia mei he ʻao ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Tevita ʻa e kau tangata naʻe heka ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻe fitungeau ʻoe kakai Silia, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko fā mano, pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻa Sopaki ko e ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻenau kau tau, ʻaia naʻe mate ʻi ai.
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.
19Pea ʻi he sio ʻae haʻa tuʻi kotoa pē naʻe toka kia Hetatesa, kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau alea kenau melino mo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau toka mai kiate kinautolu. Ko ia naʻe manavahē ai ʻae kakai Silia ke toe tokoni ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
