Kwasekuphuma enkambeni yamaFilisti iqhawe; ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi weGathi; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisithupha lokwelulwa kweminwe.
5 Chule aman sum-eng lukhuh akhuh in, sum-eng a kisem ompho shekel sang nga jen agih aki-ah in ahi.

9 “Aman keima eitha le nasoh’u kahi diu, ken ama katha le keiho soh nahi diu ahi,” ati.
Uba elakho ukulwa lami angibulale, sizakuba yizigqili zenu; kodwa uba mina ngimehlula ngimbulale, lizakuba yizigqili zethu, lisisebenzele.
10 “Tunia hi Israel galsatho kachou nahiuve, kakisatpi ding pachu hin soldoh’un,” ati.
UmFilisti wasesithi: Mina ngiyaweyisa amaviyo akoIsrayeli lamuhla; nginikani indoda ukuze silwisane.
11 Chuin Saul le Israel mite jousen Plilistine mipa thusei ajah phat’un, akichalheh jeng tauvin ahi.
Lapho uSawuli loIsrayeli wonke besizwa lamazwi omFilisti, batshaywa luvalo, besaba kakhulu.
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.
UDavida wayeyindodana yalowomEfrathi weBhethelehema-Juda, obizo lakhe lalinguJese; wayelamadodana ayisificaminwembili. Njalo lowomuntu wahamba njengomuntu omdala phakathi kwamadoda ensukwini zikaSawuli.

Njalo uDavida nguye owayelicinathunjana; lamathathu amadala alandela uSawuli.
15 Ahin David chu Saul inpia kona apa kelngoi chin kithopi dia Bethlehem ah hung kile kitji jia ahi.
Kodwa uDavida wahamba wabuyela esuka kuSawuli ukuyakwelusa izimvu zikayise eBhethelehema.

UmFilisti wayesondela-ke ekuseni kakhulu lantambama ezimisa okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
17 Nikhat Jesse in David jah’ah, “Hiche pucha-a chang kanpoh hile changlhah lhon som hi choijin lang gangtah in naute gapen.
UJese wasesithi kuDavida indodana yakhe: Ake uthathele abafowenu i-efa lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lalezizinkwa ezilitshumi, ugijimele enkambeni kubafowenu.
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.
Laleziziqa zetshizi ezilitshumi uziphathele induna yenkulungwane; ubone impilakahle yabafowenu, uthathe isibambiso kibo.
19 David uteho chu Saul to umkhom'a ahiuvin, Israel sepaiho chu Elah phaichama gal mun’ah um ahiuve.
Njalo uSawuli, labo, lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli babesesigodini seEla besilwa lamaFilisti.
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.
UDavida wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, watshiya izimvu kumlindi, wakuthatha wahamba njengokulaywa kwakhe nguJese. Wafika enqabeni yezinqola lapho ibutho liphuma ngamaviyo, bememezela impi.
21 Israelte le Philistine sepaiho galkisat dia kidinte-a kimaitoa akigol laitah’un,
Njalo uIsrayeli lamaFilisti bahlela iviyo laqondana leviyo.
22 David in thilkeo chingtup pa henga athilpoh ho chu adalhan, gangtah’in a-ute ho chibai agaboltai.
UDavida wasetshiya impahla ezisuka kuye ngaphansi kwesandla somlindi wempahla, wagijimela eviyweni wafika wabuza abafowabo impilakahle.
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.
Esakhuluma labo, khangela, iqhawe lenyuka, ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi, umFilisti weGathi, laphuma emaviyweni amaFilisti, lakhuluma njengokwalawomazwi; loDavida wawezwa.
24 Chuin Israel sepaiten hiche mipa chu amu phat’un akicha behseh jengun ajam tauvin ahi.
Njalo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli athi embona lowomuntu ambalekela, esaba kakhulu.
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.
Amadoda akoIsrayeli athi-ke: Limbonile lowana umuntu owenyukileyo yini? Ngoba wenyukele ukweyisa uIsrayeli. Kuzakuthi-ke indoda ezambulala, inkosi izayinothisa ngenotho enkulu, iyinike lendodakazi yayo, lendlu kayise izayenza ikhululeke koIsrayeli.
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.
UDavida wasekhuluma emadodeni ayemi laye esithi: Kuzakwenziwani endodeni ebulala lumFilisti, isuse ihlazo koIsrayeli? Ngoba ungubani lumFilisti ongasokanga ukuthi aweyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo?
27 Chuin miho chun adonbut un, “Henge hiche mipa that pen pen chu kipaman akisei chu peh ding ahi,” atiuve.
Abantu basebemphendula njengalelolizwi besithi: Kuzakwenziwa njalo endodeni embulalayo.
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.
UEliyabi umnewabo omdala wezwa-ke lapho ekhuluma lamadoda; lentukuthelo kaEliyabi yavuthela uDavida, wathi: Wehleleleni lapha? Izimvu leziyana ezinlutshwana uzitshiye lobani egangeni? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziqhenya kwakho lobubi benhliziyo yakho; ngoba wehlele ukubona impi.
29 Hichun David in, “Ken ipi kabol em? Thudoh kagah nei mai mai ahi,” tin adonbut in ahi.
Kodwa uDavida wathi: Sengenzeni? Bekungasilizwi nje yini?
30 Chuin amahoa konin adangho langah akihei kit in athudoh mama adoh’a ahile, amahon jong aseima ma asei kit un ahi.
Wasemfulathela, waya komunye, wakhuluma laye njengokwalelolizwi; abantu basebebuyisela impendulo kuye njengelizwi lakuqala.
31 David thudoh chu Saul lengpa kom agalhut un ahile Saul lengpan jong aheng’a ahin pui diuvin thu ape tan ahi.
Lapho sebewezwile amazwi uDavida awakhulumayo, bawakhuluma phambi kukaSawuli; wasememukela.
32 “Hiche Philistine mipa chunga khun boi tahih’un, kache ding kaga kimaitopi ding ahi,” tin David in Saul jah’a aseiyin ahi.
UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kakungehluleki inhliziyo yomuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho izahamba iyekulwa lalowomFilisti.
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.
Kodwa uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ungeke waya kulumFilisti ukulwa laye; ngoba wena ungumfana, yena-ke uyindoda yempi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe.
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,
Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Inceku yakho yayiselusa izimvu zikayise; lapho kwafika isilwane lebhere, kwathatha imvu emhlanjini,
35 Anung kadellin, kakidalpin, akamsung’a konin kahuhdohjin ahi, chule keima thadia eigot tengleh, akha ah kaman in kathat jitai.
ngaphuma ngakulandela, ngakutshaya, ngayikhulula emlonyeni wakho; lapho kungivukela, ngakubamba ngendevu, ngakutshaya, ngakubulala.
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.
Inceku yakho yabulala kokubili isilwane lebhere; lalo umFilisti ongasokanga uzakuba njengokunye kwakho, lokhu eyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
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.
UDavida wathi futhi: INkosi eyangophula kuzipho lwesilwane lakuzipho lwebhere, yona izangophula esandleni salo umFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, leNkosi kayibe lawe.
38 Chuin Saul in David agalvon apen, alukhuh sum-eng a kisem akhuhpeh in, thih sangkhol a-ahpeh tan ahi.
USawuli wasegqokisa uDavida izigqoko zakhe, wafaka ikhowa lethusi ekhanda lakhe, wamgqokisa ibhatshi lensimbi.
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.
UDavida wasebhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezigqoko zakhe, walinga ukuhamba, ngoba wayengakuzamanga. UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kangilakho ukuhamba ngilalezizinto ngoba kangizizamanga. UDavida wasezikhumula kuye.
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.

UmFilisti wasehamba waya wasondela kuDavida; lomuntu ophethe isihlangu esikhulu wayephambi kwakhe.
42 Goliath in David chu phatah a avettoh phat’in, chapang melhoi cha bou ahinah laijeh in, asit behseh jeh in alung ahang tai.
Kwathi umFilisti ekhangela ebona uDavida, wameyisa; ngoba wayengumfana njalo ebomvana elobuso obubukekayo.
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.
UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi wena uze kimi ulezinduku? UmFilisti wasemqalekisa uDavida ngabonkulunkulu bakhe.
44 Goliath in David chu achouvin, “Hilam ah hungin, keiman natahsa chu vachate le gamsa te kapeh ding ahi,” ati ahi.
UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Woza kimi, ngizanika inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zeganga inyama yakho.
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.
UDavida wasesithi kumFilisti: Wena uza kimi ulenkemba, lomkhonto, lomdikadika; kodwa mina ngiza kuwe ngebizo leNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wamaviyo akoIsrayeli omeyisileyo.
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.
Lamuhla iNkosi izakuvalela esandleni sami, ngizakutshaya, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; nginike lamuhla inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti, ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu koIsrayeli.
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.
Lalelibandla lonke lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi kayisindisi ngenkemba langomkhonto; ngoba impi ngeyeNkosi, njalo izalinikela esandleni sethu.
48 Goliath ahung kipatdoh a David henglam ahin jot phat in, David chu kintah in Philistine mihatpa toh kisuto ding in alhaisuh tan ahi.
Kwasekusithi lapho umFilisti esukuma ehamba esondela ukuhlangabeza uDavida, uDavida wasephangisa wagijimela ngaseviyweni ukuhlangana lomFilisti.

56 Hichun lengpan jong, “Aphai, koiham hinkhol chen’in,” ati.
Inkosi yasisithi: Buza wena ukuthi liyindodana kabani lelijaha.
