2 Samuel 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.	1 وكان بعد ذلك ان ملك بني عمون مات وملك حانون ابنه عوضا عنه.
2 And 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,	2 فقال داود اصنع معروفا مع حانون بن ناحاش كما صنع ابوه معي معروفا. فارسل داود بيد عبيده يعزيه عن ابيه. فجاء عبيد داود الى ارض بني عمون.
3 The 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?	3 فقال رؤساء بني عمون لحانون سيدهم. هل يكرم داود اباك في عينيك حتى ارسل اليك معزّين. أليس لاجل فحص المدينة وتجسّسها وقلبها ارسل داود عبيده اليك.
4 Wherefore 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.	4 فاخذ حانون عبيد داود وحلق انصاف لحاهم وقصّ ثيابهم من الوسط الى استاههم ثم اطلقهم.
5 When 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.	5 ولما اخبروا داود ارسل للقائهم لان الرجال كانوا خجلين جدا. وقال الملك اقيموا في اريحا حتى تنبت لحاكم ثم ارجعوا
6 And 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 ولما رأى بنو عمون انهم قد انتنوا عند داود ارسل بنو عمون واستاجروا ارام بيت رحوب وارام صوبا عشرين الف راجل ومن ملك معكة الف رجل ورجال طوب اثني عشر الف رجل.
7 And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.	7 فلما سمع داود ارسل يوآب وكل جيش الجبابرة.
8 And 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.	8 وخرج بنو عمون واصطفوا للحرب عند مدخل الباب وكان ارام صوبا ورحوب ورجال طوب ومعكة وحدهم في الحقل.
9 Then 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:	9 فلما رأى يوآب ان مقدمة الحرب كانت نحوه من قدام ومن وراء اختار من جميع منتخبي اسرائيل وصفهم للقاء ارام
10 And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.	10 وسلّم بقية الشعب ليد اخيه ابيشاي فصفهم للقاء بني عمون.
11 And 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.	11 وقال ان قوي ارام عليّ تكون لي منجدا. وان قوي عليك بنو عمون اذهب لنجدتك.
12 Be 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.	12 تجلد ولنتشدد من اجل شعبنا ومن اجل مدن الهنا والرب يفعل ما يحسن في عينيه.
13 And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.	13 فتقدم يوآب والشعب الذين معه لمحاربة ارام فهربوا من امامه.
14 And 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.	14 ولما رأى بنو عمون انه قد هرب ارام هربوا من امام ابيشاي ودخلوا المدينة. فرجع يوآب عن بني عمون وأتى الى اورشليم
15 Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.	15 ولما رأى ارام انهم قد انكسروا امام اسرائيل اجتمعوا معا.
16 And 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.	16 وارسل هدر عزر فابرز ارام الذي في عبر النهر فأتوا الى حيلام وامامهم شوبك رئيس جيش هدر عزر.
17 And 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.	17 ولما أخبر داود جمع كل اسرائيل وعبر الاردن وجاء الى حيلام فاصطف ارام للقاء داود وحاربوه.
18 And 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.	18 وهرب ارام من امام اسرائيل وقتل داود من ارام سبع مئة مركبة واربعين الف فارس وضرب شوبك رئيس جيشه فمات هناك.
19 And 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.	19 ولما رأى جميع الملوك عبيد هدر عزر انهم انكسروا امام اسرائيل صالحوا اسرائيل واستعبدوا لهم وخاف ارام ان ينجدوا بني عمون بعد
