1 Samuel 17
1 Judah gamsung Socoh muna chun Philistine mite galsat dingin akikhom’un, chule Socoh le Azekah kikah’a Ephes-dammim’a chun ngahmun asem tauvin ahi.
Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda, and camped between Socho and Azeca in the borders of Dommim.
2 Chuin Saul le Israelte jong akikhom’un, Philistine te dounan Elah phaicham panga ngahmun akisem’un ahi.
And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.
3 Philistine techu lhangkhat ah akigol’un chule Israel te jong chu lhangkhat ah akigol’un chule akikah uva phaicham khat in akhentan un ahi.
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Chule Philistine te mihat tah Gath khopia akona hungkon, amin Goliath kitipa chun Israelte satding in Philistine te ngahmun akonin ahung potdoh'in ahi. Amachu tong gup le khap khat jen in asangin ahi.
And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span:
5 Chule aman sum-eng lukhuh akhuh in, sum-eng a kisem ompho shekel sang nga jen agih aki-ah in ahi.
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass:
6 Akengte ni jong sum-eng’a kitomjol ahin, chule alengkouva ama sum-eng tengcha akipoh chu kitungdoh peh ahi.
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders.
7 Atengcha lung tumbi tejen ahin, atengpeh jong thih jeng, gihdan chu shekel jagup’a gih ahin, apho chu mikhat poh ahi.
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.
8 Goliath ading in Israel galsat miho jah’a ahin samin, “Ipi dinga galsat dinga hung kigola nahiuvem, keima Philistine mihatpa kahin, nangho Saul sohte mai mai nahiuve, ei kisatpi ding mikhat hung kilheng doh un,” atin ahi.
And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.
9 “Aman keima eitha le nasoh’u kahi diu, ken ama katha le keiho soh nahi diu ahi,” ati.
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.
10 “Tunia hi Israel galsatho kachou nahiuve, kakisatpi ding pachu hin soldoh’un,” ati.
And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.
11 Chuin Saul le Israel mite jousen Plilistine mipa thusei ajah phat’un, akichalheh jeng tauvin ahi.
And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 David kitipa chu Judah gam Bethlehem khopia Ephrah mi Jesse chapa ahin, hiche lai chun Jesse chu ateh lheh jeng tan chule aman chapa get jen aneiyin ahi.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.
13 Jesse chapa alen thumho, chu Eliab, Abindab, chule Shimea hochu Philistine te sat dia Saul lengpa sepai a pang ahiuve.
And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.
14 David chu achate lah’a aneopen ahi. David ute thum hochu Saul sepaiho toh khom’a ahiuve.
But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,
15 Ahin David chu Saul inpia kona apa kelngoi chin kithopi dia Bethlehem ah hung kile kitji jia ahi.
David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father’s flock at Bethlehem.
16 Ni somli sungin jingkah, nilhah seh leh Philitine mihatpan Israel sepai ho ahin naiyin achou jing in ahi.
Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 Nikhat Jesse in David jah’ah, “Hiche pucha-a chang kanpoh hile changlhah lhon som hi choijin lang gangtah in naute gapen.
And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.
18 Chule hiche bongnoiha-a kisem lhon som hi sepaiho lamkaipa pen. Na-ute iti nauvem gavenlang, thu nahin nungpoh kit ding ahi,” tin anasollin ahi.
And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.
19 David uteho chu Saul to umkhom'a ahiuvin, Israel sepaiho chu Elah phaichama gal mun’ah um ahiuve.
But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.
20 Chuin David in akelngoiho chu avetup din mi khat angansen, jingkah matah in apan athupeh bang in thilho chu apon, achen ahile sepaiho galsat dinga ngahmun dalha dinga akigotuva a-ao laitah’un ngahmun chu agalhungin ahi.
David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 Israelte le Philistine sepaiho galkisat dia kidinte-a kimaitoa akigol laitah’un,
For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.
22 David in thilkeo chingtup pa henga athilpoh ho chu adalhan, gangtah’in a-ute ho chibai agaboltai.
And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.
23 Aman a-uteho akihoulimpi laitah in, Gath mi Philistine mihatpa chu Philistine sepai ho lah’a kon in ahung potdoh'in ana seingaiji bang in asamin, Israel mite chu ahin choukit tan ahile, hichu David in ajatan ahi.
And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.
24 Chuin Israel sepaiten hiche mipa chu amu phat’un akicha behseh jengun ajam tauvin ahi.
And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.
25 Hichun alah uva mikhat in David jah’a, “Hiche mihatpa chu namu em? Aniseh leh hitia khu hung potdoh’a Israel sepaite achou chou jin ahi, koihile ama thatpen pen khu lengpan kipaman lentah apeh ding, achanu khat jong aji ding’a apeh ding, chule Israel ten kai peh dingdol a kon in jong onthol sah ding ahi,” ati.
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house free from tribute in Israel.
26 David in akimvella ding Israel sepai ho jah’ah, “Hiche cheptanlou Philistine mahatpa that’a, Israel mite avettomna kona huhdoh mi chu ipi amu ding ham? Ipi hile iti hiche cheptanlou Philistine pan hingjing Pathen sepaite ajumso ding ham?” ati.
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 Chuin miho chun adonbut un, “Henge hiche mipa that pen pen chu kipaman akisei chu peh ding ahi,” atiuve.
And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.
28 Ahinlah David uteho lah’a alenpen Eliab chun David thusei ajahdoh phat’in alung ahang in, “Hichea hi ipi nahung bolle ham? Na kelngoi hon hochu ipi itihen nati ham? Nakiletsahna le na jonchih na chu kahe nai, hichea kidounaho venom mai maija hunga nahibouve,” ati.
Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.
29 Hichun David in, “Ken ipi kabol em? Thudoh kagah nei mai mai ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?
30 Chuin amahoa konin adangho langah akihei kit in athudoh mama adoh’a ahile, amahon jong aseima ma asei kit un ahi.
And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.
31 David thudoh chu Saul lengpa kom agalhut un ahile Saul lengpan jong aheng’a ahin pui diuvin thu ape tan ahi.
And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.
32 “Hiche Philistine mipa chunga khun boi tahih’un, kache ding kaga kimaitopi ding ahi,” tin David in Saul jah’a aseiyin ahi.
And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man’s heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.
33 Saul in, “Angol nahim! nangman hiche Philistine mihatpa nasatna najo nading lampi aum theipoi, nangma chapang chabou nahin, ama akhangdon laiya kipatna galsat mi ahi,” ati.
And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.
34 Ahinlah David in, “Kapa kelngoi hole kelcha ho jong kana vetkol ahin, nasohpa hin apa kelngoi anachin na’a chun keipi bahkai le vompi ahunga kelnou ho ahung lhohmang ding agot tengle,
And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:
35 Anung kadellin, kakidalpin, akamsung’a konin kahuhdohjin ahi, chule keima thadia eigot tengleh, akha ah kaman in kathat jitai.
And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
36 Keipi le vompi ani nia hitia chu kabolji ahin chule tua jong Philistine cheptan loupa jong chutia chu kabol ding ahi, ajeh chu aman hing jing Pathen sepai ho ajumso jeh’a hitia chu bolding ahi.
For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?
37 Pakaiyin keipi bahkai le vompi khutphanga kona eihuhdoh pa chun tunia jong hiche Philistine mihatpa a kona eihuhdoh tei ding ahi,” atin boltei agoi. Hichun Saul in achaina a lunggel lhahna aneiyin, “Aphai nakigot bang chun boltan chule Pakaiyin naumpi jingta hen,” ati.
And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee.
38 Chuin Saul in David agalvon apen, alukhuh sum-eng a kisem akhuhpeh in, thih sangkhol a-ahpeh tan ahi.
And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.
39 Hichun David in agalvon chunga chun achemjam ako’in, kal khat kal agah son le galvon ho akivon khahlou jeh in, achethei tapon ahi. Hijeh chun aman Saul jah’a, “Hicheho pumin chethei ponge, ajeh chu hicheho hi kamang theipoi,” atin, asut lhatai.
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,
40 Hichun David in vadung songchang jolsel chang nga akilopan, akelngoi chinna sakhao neovah akikon, chuin akelngoi chinna tenggol le sailungchang kapna gophel akichoijin, Philistine mihatpa umna phaicham ajontai.
And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd’s scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.
41 Goliath jong ahung potdoh'in David lam ahin jontai chule agalvon popa chu ahung masan ahi.
And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.
42 Goliath in David chu phatah a avettoh phat’in, chapang melhoi cha bou ahinah laijeh in, asit behseh jeh in alung ahang tai.
And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.
43 David jah’a lunghang tah in, “Keima uicha kahim? Mol kichoija kahenga hung nahim?” ati. Hichun Philistine mipa chun, apathen ho min pan in David chu agaosap tai.
And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Goliath in David chu achouvin, “Hilam ah hungin, keiman natahsa chu vachate le gamsa te kapeh ding ahi,” ati ahi.
And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
45 David in Philistine mipa chu adonbut in, “Nangma chemjamle tengcha choiya hung nahin, Ahinlah keima vang van gam sepai galsatte Pakai mina hung kahi.
And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.
46 Tunia hi Pakaiyin najoding, keiman nang katha-a nalu katan ding, natahsa thisa chu vachate le gamsate kapeh ding chule leiset pumpin Israel Pathen khat aume ti ahet diu ahi,” ati.
This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 “Chule hichea hung kikhom jousen Pakaiyin chemjam le tengchan ahuhhingpoi ti ahet dingu ahi. Ajeh chu galsat hi Pakaiya ahin, aman nangho kakhutna eipeh doh diu ahitai,” ati.
And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.
48 Goliath ahung kipatdoh a David henglam ahin jot phat in, David chu kintah in Philistine mihatpa toh kisuto ding in alhaisuh tan ahi.
And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.
49 David in akhut in asakhao sung asoh in, song chang khat aladoh in, ah-songse’a chu asea ahile, Philistine mipa chalpang ah achun, songchang chu alut in, Goliath tol-lhang ah alhutan ahi.
And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.
50 Chuti chun David in chemjam pang louhellin, songchang khatseh le ah-songse in Goliath ajoutan ahi.
And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,
51 Chuin David in adel lut paiyin, Goliath chemjam chu asatdoh in, ama chemjam ma ma chun alol atantan ahi. Chuin Philistine mipiten ami hatpa’u athi amu phat un, akinung heijun ajam tauvin ahi.
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.
52 Chuin Israelte le Judah miho akipat’un, a-aovun, phaicham le Ekron kotpi aphah kah seuvin Philistine mite nung adel’un ahi. Chule Philistine mipi ho chu Shaariam lam lhon lhungin thilong akijam thang’un, Gath le Ekron changeijin athilong u chu alum thang sohkei jenginn ahi.
And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.
53 Chuin Israel chaten Philistine mite anungdel uva kon in ahung kinung leuvin, angahun hou chu asumang’un achom tauvin ahi.
And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.
54 Chuin David in Philistine mihatpa luchang chu alan Jerusalem ah ahin potai; ahin galvon vang apon in’ah akoitai.
And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.
55 David Philistine pa satdinga akon doh chun Saul in agalvon popa Abner jah’ah, “Hiche gollhang pa khu koicha ham? tin adongin ahile Abner in jong, “Atahbah in kahepoi,” tin anadonbut e.
Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.
56 Hichun lengpan jong, “Aphai, koiham hinkhol chen’in,” ati.
And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.
57 David in Goliath ahintha jouva ahung lhun in, Abner in Philistine mihatpa luchang chu Saul komah ahin lhuttan ahi.
And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 Hichun Saul in, “Gollhang, napa koiham neisei peh in,” atin ahile David in adonbut in, “Kapa min Jesse ahin, Bethlehem a um kahiuve,” ati.
And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite.
