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 gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 Chuin Saul le Israelte jong akikhom’un, Philistine te dounan Elah phaicham panga ngahmun akisem’un ahi.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array 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.
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the 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.
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
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 on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
6 Akengte ni jong sum-eng’a kitomjol ahin, chule alengkouva ama sum-eng tengcha akipoh chu kitungdoh peh ahi.
And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
7 Atengcha lung tumbi tejen ahin, atengpeh jong thih jeng, gihdan chu shekel jagup’a gih ahin, apho chu mikhat poh ahi.
Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of 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.
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 “Aman keima eitha le nasoh’u kahi diu, ken ama katha le keiho soh nahi diu ahi,” ati.
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
10 “Tunia hi Israel galsatho kachou nahiuve, kakisatpi ding pachu hin soldoh’un,” ati.
The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
11 Chuin Saul le Israel mite jousen Plilistine mipa thusei ajah phat’un, akichalheh jeng tauvin ahi.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they 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 in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
13 Jesse chapa alen thumho, chu Eliab, Abindab, chule Shimea hochu Philistine te sat dia Saul lengpa sepai a pang ahiuve.
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 David chu achate lah’a aneopen ahi. David ute thum hochu Saul sepaiho toh khom’a ahiuve.
David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 Ahin David chu Saul inpia kona apa kelngoi chin kithopi dia Bethlehem ah hung kile kitji jia ahi.
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 Ni somli sungin jingkah, nilhah seh leh Philitine mihatpan Israel sepai ho ahin naiyin achou jing in ahi.
The Philistine drew near 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.
Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
19 David uteho chu Saul to umkhom'a ahiuvin, Israel sepaiho chu Elah phaichama gal mun’ah um ahiuve.
Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with 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.
So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
21 Israelte le Philistine sepaiho galkisat dia kidinte-a kimaitoa akigol laitah’un,
And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
22 David in thilkeo chingtup pa henga athilpoh ho chu adalhan, gangtah’in a-ute ho chibai agaboltai.
And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
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.
As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and 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.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
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.
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt 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.
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace 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.
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills 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.
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 Hichun David in, “Ken ipi kabol em? Thudoh kagah nei mai mai ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
30 Chuin amahoa konin adangho langah akihei kit in athudoh mama adoh’a ahile, amahon jong aseima ma asei kit un ahi.
Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
31 David thudoh chu Saul lengpa kom agalhut un ahile Saul lengpan jong aheng’a ahin pui diuvin thu ape tan ahi.
When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 “Hiche Philistine mipa chunga khun boi tahih’un, kache ding kaga kimaitopi ding ahi,” tin David in Saul jah’a aseiyin ahi.
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this 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.
Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war 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,
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 Anung kadellin, kakidalpin, akamsung’a konin kahuhdohjin ahi, chule keima thadia eigot tengleh, akha ah kaman in kathat jitai.
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
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.
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies 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.
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." Saul said to David, "Go; and the LORD shall be with you."
38 Chuin Saul in David agalvon apen, alukhuh sum-eng a kisem akhuhpeh in, thih sangkhol a-ahpeh tan ahi.
And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
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 strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off him.
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.
Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
41 Goliath jong ahung potdoh'in David lam ahin jontai chule agalvon popa chu ahung masan ahi.
So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of 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.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
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.
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." 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.
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
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.
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have 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.
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals 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 that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
48 Goliath ahung kipatdoh a David henglam ahin jot phat in, David chu kintah in Philistine mihatpa toh kisuto ding in alhaisuh tan ahi.
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army 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.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
50 Chuti chun David in chemjam pang louhellin, songchang khatseh le ah-songse in Goliath ajoutan ahi.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
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.
Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
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.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 Chuin Israel chaten Philistine mite anungdel uva kon in ahung kinung leuvin, angahun hou chu asumang’un achom tauvin ahi.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 Chuin David in Philistine mihatpa luchang chu alan Jerusalem ah ahin potai; ahin galvon vang apon in’ah akoitai.
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor 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.
When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
56 Hichun lengpan jong, “Aphai, koiham hinkhol chen’in,” ati.
The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
57 David in Goliath ahintha jouva ahung lhun in, Abner in Philistine mihatpa luchang chu Saul komah ahin lhuttan ahi.
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him 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.
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
