1 Samueli 17
1 Afilisti anasonkhanitsa ankhondo awo ku Soko mʼdziko la Yuda. Iwo anamanga misasa yawo ku Efesi-Damimu, pakati pa Soko ndi Azeka.
Afei, Filistifo boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ Soko a ɛwɔ Yuda sɛ wɔrebɛko. Wɔkyeree nsraban wɔ Soko ne Aseka ntam wɔ Efes-Damim.
2 Sauli ndi Aisraeli anasonkhana namanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Ela ndipo anandandalitsa ankhondo kuti amenyane ndi Afilisti.
Saulo yɛɛ saa ara, boaboaa ne dɔm ano wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Ela bon.
3 Afilisti anali phiri lina ndipo Aisraeli analinso phiri lina, ndipo pakati pawo panali chigwa.
Filistifo faa bepɔw baako, na Israelfo no nso faa baako a obon no da wɔn ntam.
4 Tsono munthu wina wamphamvu, dzina lake Goliati wochokera ku Gati anatuluka ku misasa ya Afilisti. Msinkhu wake unali pafupipafupi mamita atatu.
Ɔbarima tenten hoɔdenfo bi a ne din de Goliat a ofi Gat no pue fii Filistifo no nsraban mu bae. Na ne tenten bɛboro anammɔn akron.
5 Iye ankavala chipewa chamkuwa ndi malaya achitsulo olemera makilogalamu 57.
Na ɔhyɛ kɔbere kyɛw, hyɛ kɔbere akotade a akode bobɔ mu, na emu duru yɛ kilogram aduonum ason.
6 Ankavalanso zokuta miyendo yake zamkuwa, ndipo ankanyamula nthungo ya mkuwa pa phewa pake.
Na nʼanan nso, kɔbere nkatanan kata ho na kɔbere peaw nso sɛn nʼakyi.
7 Thunthu la mkondo wake linali ngati mkombero wowombera nsalu, ndipo mutu wa mkondowo unkalemera makilogalamu asanu ndi awiri. Patsogolo pake pamakhala munthu wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo.
Na ne peaw ano dade no te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua mu abaa, na ano dade no kari dwetɛ kilogram ason. Na ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
8 Goliatiyo anayimirira ndi kufuwula kwa ankhondo a Israeli, nati, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwakonzekera nkhondo chotere? Kodi sindine Mfilisiti ndipo inu sindinu akapolo a Sauli? Sankhani munthu kuti abwere kwa ine.
Goliat begyinaa hɔ teɛɛ mu guu Israelfo no so se, “Asraafo yi nyinaa na morebɛko ana? Munyi mo mu baako na ɔmmɛko mma mo, na me nso mesi Filistifo anan mu. Yɛbɛko de awie asɛm no ka!
9 Ngati angathe kumenyana nane ndi kundipha, ife tidzakhala akapolo anu, koma ngati ine ndimugonjetsa ndi kumupha, inu mudzakhala akapolo athu ndi kumatitumikira.”
Sɛ mo nipa no tumi kum me a, yɛbɛyɛ mo nkoa. Na sɛ mikum no a, mobɛyɛ yɛn nkoa.”
10 Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anati, “Bwerani lero timenyane basi! Patseni munthu kuti ndimenyane naye.”
Filistini no kae se, “Memmfa Israel asraafo nyɛ hwee, momma me ɔbarima a ɔne me bɛko.”
11 Atamva mawu a Mfilisitiyo, Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anataya mtima nachita mantha kwambiri.
Bere a Saulo ne Israelfo tee eyi no wɔbɔɔ huboa na wɔn ho popoe.
12 Davide anali mwana wa munthu wa fuko la Efurati dzina lake Yese amene amachokera ku Betelehemu mʼdziko la Yuda. Yese anali ndi ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri. Pa nthawi ya Sauli nʼkuti ali wokalamba.
Na Dawid yɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yisai a ɔyɛ Efratni na ofi Betlehem wɔ Yuda asase so no babarima. Na Yisai wɔ mmabarima baawɔtwe, na Saulo bere so no, na wabɔ akwakoraa a ne mfe a wadi no kɔ anim yiye.
13 Ana atatu oyamba kubadwa a Yese nʼkuti atapita nawo ku nkhondo pamodzi ndi Sauli. Woyamba dzina lake anali Eliabu, wachiwiri anali Abinadabu, ndipo wachitatu anali Sama.
Na Yisai mmabarima mpanyimfo baasa na wodii Saulo akyi kɔɔ ɔko no. Na abakan no din de Eliab, nʼakyi ba din de Abinadab, na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no din de Sama.
14 Davide ndiye anali mzime. Ana aakulu atatuwo ndiwo anapita ku nkhondo ndi Sauli.
Dawid de, na ɔno ne akumaa koraa. Mpanyimfo baasa no na wodii Saulo akyi,
15 Koma Davide ankapita ku misasa ya Sauli ndi kubwerako kuti azikaweta nkhosa za abambo ake ku Betelehemu.
nanso na Dawid di akɔneaba; ɔkɔsom Saulo na wakɔhwɛ nʼagya nguan wɔ Betlehem nso.
16 Kwa masiku makumi anayi, Mfilisiti uja ankabwera mmawa ndi madzulo kumadzionetsera.
Filistini yi pue mema ne ho so wɔ Israelfo asraafo nʼanim anɔpa ne anwummere, saa ara adaduanan.
17 Tsiku lina Yese anawuza mwana wake Davide kuti, “Atengere abale ako makilogalamu khumi a tirigu wokazinga ndi malofu a buledi khumi ndipo upite nazo mofulumira ku misasa yawo.
Da koro bi, Yisai ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Fa nkyewe lita aduonu abien yi ne brodo mua du yi kɔma wo nuabarimanom.
18 Utengerenso wolamulira wa gulu lawo tchizi khumi uyu. Ukaone mmene abale ako akukhalira ndipo ubwere ndi kanthu kosonyeza kuti ali bwino.
Na fa kyiisi du a wɔatwitwa yi ma ɔsafohene no. Ɛyɛ a hwɛ sɛnea wo nuabarimanom no ho te, na gye krataa fi wɔn nkyɛn brɛ me.
19 Sauli, abale akowo ndi asilikali onse a Israeli ali ku chigwa cha Ela, akumenyana ndi Afilisti.”
Na Dawid nuanom ne Israel asraafo no wɔ Ela bon no mu a wɔreko atia Filistifo.”
20 Mʼmamawa mwake Davide anasiya nkhosa mʼmanja mwa munthu wina ndipo anatenga zakudyazo nanyamuka monga momwe Yese abambo ake anamulamulira. Anakafika ku misasa pamene asilikali ankapita kukandanda pa mzere ku nkhondo, nʼkufuwula mfuwu wankhondo.
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Dawid gyaw nguan no maa oguanhwɛfo bi na ɔfaa akyɛde no kɔe. Oduu nsraban mu hɔ bere a na asraafo no rekɔ mpasua ahorow no so. Wɔrekɔ no, na wɔreto asafonnwom reteɛteɛ mu.
21 Aisraeli ndi Afilisti anandanda pa mzere wankhondo moyangʼanana.
Na Israel ne Filistifo no rebɛn a wodi nhwɛanim.
22 Tsono Davide anasiyira zakudya zija munthu wosunga katundu nathamangira kumene kunali ankhondo kuja ndi kukalonjera abale ake.
Dawid gyaw ne nneɛma maa akode sohwɛfo no, yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ akono hɔ kokyia ne nuanom.
23 Pamene iye ankayankhula nawo anangoona Goliati wa ku Gati uja akuchoka pa mzere wa Afilisti akufuwula mawu onyoza monga mwa masiku onse, ndipo Davide ankawamva.
Bere a Dawid ne wɔn rekasa no, Filistini tenten hoɔdenfo Goliat a ofi Gat, fii Filistifo asraafo no mu teɛteɛɛ mu ahantan so kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no.
24 Aisraeli ataona munthuyo, anamuthawa ndi mantha aakulu.
Bere a Israelfo no huu ɔbarima no, wɔn nyinaa de ehu guan kɔe.
25 Ndipo Aisraeli ankanena kuti, “Kodi mwamuona munthu akubwerayo? Iye amangobwera kudzanyoza Israeli. Tsono mfumu inati kuti idzapereka chuma chambiri kwa munthu amene adzamuphe. Idzaperekanso mwana wake wamkazi kuti amukwatire ndiponso banja la abambo ake silidzaperekanso msonkho mu Israeli.”
Afei, na Israelfo keka wɔ wɔn mu se, “Woahu ɔbran no? Ɔba bɛkasa tia Israel da biara. Na woate akatua a ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde bɛma obiara a obetumi akum no no? Ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde ne babea bɛma no aware, na ne fifo nso, ɔhene remma wontua tow biara a wogye no Israelman mu.”
26 Davide anafunsa anthu amene anayima pafupi naye kuti, “Kodi adzamuchita chiyani munthu amene adzapha Mfilisiti uyu ndi kuchotsa chitonzo pakati pa Israeli? Mfilisiti wosachita mdulidweyu ndi ndani kuti azinyoza gulu lankhondo la Mulungu wamoyo?”
Dawid bisaa mmarima a wogyina ne ho no se, “Dɛn na mobɛyɛ ama ɔbarima a obekum saa Filistini yi, na ɔnam so ayi saa animguase yi afi Israel so? Hena ne saa Filistini bosonsomni yi a ɛsɛ sɛ ogu Onyankopɔn Teasefo asraafo anim ase?”
27 Anthu anamuwuzanso zonse zimene mfumu inanena kuti idzachitira munthu amene adzapha Mfilisitiyo.
Wotii asɛm a wɔaka dedaw no mu kyerɛɛ no se, “Nea woate dedaw no yɛ nokware. Ɛno na yɛbɛyɛ ama onipa a obekum ɔbran no.”
28 Eliabu, mkulu wake wa Davide, atamumva akuyankhula ndi anthuwo, anamukwiyira ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani wabwera kuno? Ndipo wasiyira yani nkhosa zochepazo mʼchipululu? Ndikudziwa kuti ndiwe wodzikuza ndiponso woyipa mtima. Unabwera kuno kuti udzaonere nkhondo.”
Bere a Dawid nuapanyin Eliab tee sɛ ɔne mmarima no rekasa saa no, ne bo fuw no, na obisae se, “Adɛn nti na woaba ha? Na nguan kakra a wɔwɔ sare so no, wode wɔn gyaw hena? Minim sɛnea wogye wo ho di ne sɛnea wo komapirim te. Ɔko yi hwɛ ara nti na wobae.”
29 Davide anati, “Kodi ndachita chiyani ine? Kodi ndisamayankhule?”
Dawid bisae se, “Mayɛ dɛn? Nti, ɛnsɛ sɛ mekasa mpo?”
30 Ndipo anamuchokera napita kwa munthu wina ndipo anamufunsa nkhani yomweyo, ndipo anthu anamuyankha iye monga poyamba paja.
Afei, ɔdan ne ho ne afoforo kɔkasae. Ɔde asɛm koro no ara bae, na mmarima no buaa no sɛnea wɔaka dedaw no.
31 Mawu amene Davide anayankhula atamveka, anthu anakafotokozera Sauli ndipo Sauli anamuyitanitsa.
Asɛm a Dawid kaa no twaa nnipa bi asom, ma wɔkɔbɔɔ Saulo amanneɛ, enti ɔsoma kɔfrɛɛ no.
32 Davide anati kwa Sauli, “Munthu aliyense asataye mtima chifukwa cha Mfilisitiyu. Ine kapolo wanu ndipita kukamenyana naye.”
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Mma hwee nhaw wo. Mɛkɔ na me ne Filistini yi akɔko.”
33 Sauli anayankha Davide kuti, “Iwe sungathe kupita kukamenyana ndi Mfilisitiyu. Iwe ukanali mnyamata, koma iyeyu ndi amene wakhala akumenya nkhondo kuyambira unyamata wake.”
Saulo buaa Dawid se, “Worentumi ne saa Filistini yi nko. Woyɛ abarimaa, nanso ɔno de, ɔyɛ ɔkofo fi ne mmofraase.”
34 Koma Davide anati kwa Sauli, “Kapolo wanune ndinkaweta nkhosa za abambo anga. Ndipo mkango kapena chimbalangondo chikamabwera ndi kugwira mwana wankhosa pakati pa nkhosazo,
Na Dawid ka tii mu se, “Mahwɛ mʼagya nguan ara, na sɛ gyata anaa sisi bi ba sɛ ɔrebɛkyere oguan ba bi afi nguankuw no mu a,
35 ine ndinkatsatira ndi kupha chirombocho. Choncho ndinkapulumutsa mwana wankhosa uja mʼkamwa mwake. Ndipo chinkati chikandiwukira, ine ndinkagwira tchowa lake, nʼkuchikantha mpaka kuchipha.
mede abaa poriwa di nʼakyi gye aboa no fi nʼanom. Na sɛ aboa no dan nʼani ba me hɔ a, miso nʼabogye, kyere no, de abaa poriwa no bɔ no, kum no.
36 Ine kapolo wanu ndinapha mkango ngakhalenso chimbalangondo. Tsono Mfilisiti wosachita mdulidweyu adzaphedwa monga zinazo chifukwa wanyoza ankhondo a Mulungu wamoyo.
Mayɛ saa akum gyata ne sisi, na saa na mɛyɛ Filistini bosonsomni no nso, efisɛ wagu Onyankopɔn Teasefo asraafo ho fi.
37 Yehova amene anandilanditsa mʼkamwa mwa mkango ndi chimbalangondo adzandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa Mfilisiti uyu.” Sauli anati kwa Davide, “Pita, ndipo Yehova akhale nawe.”
Awurade a ogyee me fii gyata ne sisi awerɛw ano no, ɔno ara na obegye me afi Filistini yi nsam.” Saulo penee so kae se, “Eye, kɔ. Awurade nka wo ho.”
38 Ndipo Sauli anamveka Davide mwinjiro wake. Anamuveka zovala zankhondo ndi chipewa cha mkuwa.
Afei, Saulo de ɔno ankasa akode maa Dawid. Ɔde kɔbere kyɛw ne akotade kaa ho.
39 Davide anamangirira lupanga pa mwinjirowo. Atayesa kuyenda nazo, analephera chifukwa anali asanazizolowere. Iye anati kwa Sauli, “Sindingathe kuyenda nazo chifukwa sindinazizolowere.” Ndipo anazivula.
Dawid hyɛe, de afoa kyekyere taree so, tuu anammɔn bɛyɛ abien, kɔɔ nʼanim hwɛɛ sɛnea ɛte, efisɛ na ɔnhyɛɛ biribi a ɛte saa da. Afei, ɔkae se, “Merentumi mfa eyinom nhyehyɛ me ho nkɔ, efisɛ menhyɛɛ bi saa da.” Enti ɔworɔw ne nyinaa guu hɔ.
40 Pambuyo pake anatenga ndodo yake mʼmanja. Kenaka anasankha miyala yosalala bwino mu mtsinje ndi kuyiika mʼthumba lake la ku ubusa. Legeni ili mʼmanja mwake, Davide ananyamuka kukakumana ndi Mfilisiti uja.
Ɔfaa kokwabo anum fii asuwa bi mu, de guu ne nguanhwɛfo kotoku mu. Ɔfaa ne nguanhwɛfo pema ne nʼahwimmo nko ara. Afei, osii kwan so sɛ ɔne Goliat rekɔko.
41 Tsono Mfilisiti uja anayambapo kupita kumene kunali Davide, mnyamata wonyamula zida zake za nkhondo ali patsogolo pake.
Goliat twiw pinii Dawid a ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
42 Mfilisitiyo atangomuona Davide, anamunyoza popeza kuti Davide anali mnyamata chabe wofiirira ndi wa maonekedwe abwino.
Goliat huu Dawid no, obuu no abomfiaa.
43 Iye anati kwa Davide, “Kodi ndine galu, kuti ubwere kwa ine ndi ndodo?” Ndipo Mfilisitiyo anamutemberera Davide potchula mayina a milungu yake.
Ɔworoo so kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Meyɛ ɔkraman na wode pema aba me so?” Na ɔkaa nʼanyame din ntam de domee Dawid.
44 Iye anatinso, “Bwera kuno ndipo ndidzapereka mnofu wako kwa mbalame zamlengalenga ndi kwa zirombo zakuthengo!”
Goliat kae se, “Bra mʼanim ha, na mede wo nam bɛma nnomaa ne nkekaboa.”
45 Koma Davide anati kwa Mfilisitiyo, “Iwe wabwera kwa ine ndi lupanga, mkondo ndi nthungo, koma ine ndikubwera kwa iwe mʼdzina la Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa ankhondo Aisraeli amene iwe ukuwanyoza.
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Filistini no se, “Wode afoa, peaw ne bɛmma na ɛreba me so, na me de, mede Asafo Awurade, Israel asraafo Nyankopɔn a woagu ne din ho fi no din na mede reba wo so.
46 Anatinso lero lino Yehova adzakupereka mʼmanja mwanga. Ndidzakukantha ndi kudula mutu wako. Ndidzapereka mitembo ya asilikali a Afilisti kwa mbalame za mlengalenga, ndi kwa zirombo zakuthengo ndipo dziko lonse lapansi lidzadziwa kuti mu Israeli muli Mulungu.
Nnɛ, Awurade bedi wo so nkonim, na mekum wo, atwa wo ti. Na mede Filistifo asraafo no afunu mama nnomaa ne nkekaboa, na wiase nyinaa behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn bi wɔ Israel!
47 Onse amene asonkhana pano adzadziwa kuti Mulungu sapulumutsa anthu ndi lupanga kapena mkondo, pakuti nkhondo ndi ya Yehova. Iye adzakuperekani mʼmanja mwathu.”
Na obiara behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn mfa akode na egye ne nkurɔfo. Ɛyɛ ne ko, na ɛnyɛ yɛn ko. Awurade de wo bɛma yɛn!”
48 Mfilisitiyo akusendera pafupi kuti akumane naye, Davideyo anathamangira mofulumira ku mzere wa nkhondo kukakumana naye.
Goliat yɛɛ sɛ ɔreba Dawid so no, ntɛm ara, na Dawid nso tuu mmirika kohyiaa no.
49 Davideyo anapisa dzanja lake mʼthumba lake natengamo mwala ndipo anawuponya, nalasa pa mphumi pa Mfilisitiyo. Mwalawo unalowa pa chipumi chake, ndipo anagwa chafufumimba.
Ɔde ne nsa hyɛɛ nguanhwɛfo kotoku no mu, yii kokwabo baako de hyɛɛ nʼahwimmo no mu tow ma ɛkɔbɔɔ Filistini no moma so. Kokwabo no wuraa Goliat tirim ma obu hwee, maa nʼanim kobutuw fam.
50 Kotero Davide anamupambana Mfilisitiyo pomugenda ndi mwala wa legeni ndi kumupha. Mʼmanja mwa Davide munalibe lupanga.
Enti Dawid de ahwimmo ne kokwabo baako dii Filistini ɔkwabran no so.
51 Davide anathamanga nakayimirira pamwamba pa Mfilisiti uja. Anasolola lupanga lake lomwe moyikamo mwake, namupha pomudula mutu wake. Afilisti ataona kuti ngwazi yawo yafa, anathawa.
Dawid tuu mmirika kɔɔ Filistini no so kɔtwee nʼafoa fii ne boha mu. Dawid de afoa no kum no twaa ne ti. Bere a Filistifo huu sɛ wɔn kwabran no awu no, wɔtetew san wɔn akyi, guanee.
52 Ndipo Aisraeli ndi anthu a ku Yuda ananyamuka, ndipo akufuwula anathamangitsa Afilisti aja mpaka ku Gati ndi ku zipata za Ekroni. Anthu akufa awo amagwa njira yonse ya ku Saaraimu mpaka ku Gati ndi ku Ekroni.
Afei, Israelfo no bɔɔ ose kɛse nkonimdi so, taa Filistifo no ara koduu Gat ne Ekron apon ano. Na Filistifo a wɔawuwu no afunu ne apirafo no gugu ɔkwan so, de fi Saaraim de koduu Gat ne Ekron.
53 Aisraeli anabwerako kothamangitsa Afilisti kuja ndipo anadzatenga zonse zimene zinali mʼmisasa ya Afilistiwo.
Afei, Israelfo asraafo san wɔn akyi bɛbɔ wuraa Filistifo nsraban a wɔaguan afi hɔ no mu faa wɔn nneɛma.
54 Pambuyo pake Davide anatenga mutu wa Mfilisitiyo napita nawo ku Yerusalemu, koma anayika zida za Mfilisitiyo mu tenti yake.
Dawid faa Goliat ti de kɔɔ Yerusalem, na ɔkoraa Filistini no akode wɔ ɔno ankasa ne ntamadan mu.
55 Sauli ataona Davide akupita kukakumana ndi Mfilisitiyo anafunsa Abineri, mkulu wa ankhondo kuti, “Abineri, kodi mnyamatayu ndi mwana wa yani?” Abineri anayankha kuti, “Ndithu mfumu muli apa ine sindikumudziwa.”
Bere a Saulo huu Dawid sɛ ɔrekɔ Goliat anim no, obisaa Abner a na ɔyɛ nʼakofo sahene se, “Abner, hena ba ne saa aberante yi?” Abner buae se, “Nokware ni, minnim.”
56 Mfumu inati, “Pita kafufuze kuti mnyamata ameneyu ndi mwana wa yani.”
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛyɛ a, bisa.”
57 Davide atangobwerako kokapha Mfilisiti kuja, Abineri anamutenga nabwera naye kwa Sauli, mutu wa Mfilisiti uja uli mʼmanja mwake.
Dawid kum Goliat akyi no, Abner de no brɛɛ Saulo a na ɔda so kita Filistini no ti no.
58 Sauli anamufunsa, “Mnyamata iwe, kodi paja ndiwe mwana wayani?” Davide anati, “Ndine mwana wa mtumiki wanu Yese wa ku Betelehemu.”
Saulo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka biribi a ɛfa wʼagya ho kyerɛ me, me ba.” Na Dawid buae se, “Ne din de Yisai, na yɛte Betlehem.”
