1 Chronicles 19

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.	1 وكان بعد ذلك ان ناحاش ملك بني عمون مات فملك ابنه عوضا عنه.
2 And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,	2 فقال داود اصنع معروفا مع حانون بن ناحاش لان اباه صنع معي معروفا. فارسل داود رسلا ليعزيه بابيه. فجاء عبيد داود الى ارض بني عمون الى حانون ليعزّوه.
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.	3 فقال رؤساء بني عمون لحانون هل يكرم داود اباك في عينيك حتى ارسل اليك معزّين. أليس انما لاجل الفحص والقلب وتجسس الارض جاء عبيده اليك.
4 Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.	4 فاخذ حانون عبيد داود وحلق لحاهم وقصّ ثيابهم من الوسط عند السوءة ثم اطلقهم.
5 And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.	5 فذهب اناس واخبروا داود عن الرجال. فارسل للقائهم لان الرجال كانوا خجلين جدا. وقال الملك اقيموا في اريحا حتى تنبت لحاكم ثم ارجعوا
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.	6 ولما رأى بنو عمون انهم قد انتنوا عند داود ارسل حانون وبنو عمون الف وزنة من الفضة لكي يستأجروا لانفسهم من ارام النهرين ومن ارام معكة ومن صوبة مركبات وفرسانا.
7 And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.	7 فاستأجروا لانفسهم اثنين وثلاثين الف مركبة وملك معكة وشعبه فجاءوا ونزلوا مقابل ميدبا. واجتمع بنو عمون من مدنهم وأتوا للحرب.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:	8 ولما سمع داود ارسل يوآب وكل جيش الجبابرة.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city : and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.	9 فخرج بنو عمون واصطفوا للحرب عند باب المدينة والملوك الذين جاءوا كانوا وحدهم في الحقل.
10 Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,	10 ولما رأى يوآب ان مقدمة الحرب كانت نحوه من قدام ومن وراء اختار من جميع منتخبي اسرائيل وصفّهم للقاء ارام.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.	11 وسلّم بقية الشعب ليد ابشاي اخيه فاصطفوا للقاء بني عمون.
12 And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.	12 وقال ان قوي ارام عليّ تكون لي نجدة وان قوي بنو عمون عليك انجدتك.
13 Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.	13 تجلّد ولنتشدد لاجل شعبنا ولاجل مدن الهنا وما يحسن في عيني الرب يفعل.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle : and he put them to flight.	14 وتقدم يوآب والشعب الذين معه نحو ارام للمحاربة فهربوا من امامه.
15 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.	15 ولما رأى بنو عمون انه قد هرب ارام هربوا هم ايضا من امام ابشاي اخيه ودخلوا الى المدينة. وجاء يوآب الى اورشليم
16 But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.	16 ولما رأى ارام انهم قد انكسروا امام اسرائيل ارسلوا رسلا وابرزوا ارام الذين في عبر النهر وامامهم شوبك رئيس جيش هدرعزر.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.	17 ولما أخبر داود جمع كل اسرائيل وعبر الاردن وجاء اليهم واصطف ضدّهم. اصطف داود للقاء ارام في الحرب فحاربوه.
18 But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.	18 وهرب ارام من امام اسرائيل وقتل داود من ارام سبعة آلاف مركبة واربعين الف راجل وقتل شوبك رئيس الجيش.
19 And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.	19 ولما رأى عبيد هدرعزر انهم قد انكسروا امام اسرائيل صالحوا داود وخدموه. ولم يشأ ارام ان ينجدوا بني عمون بعد
