1 Samuel 17
1 Koro jo-Filistia nochoko jolweny mag-gi mondo gikedi kendo negichokore kama iluongo ni Soko e piny Juda. Negijot Efes-Damin man e kind Soko gi Azeka.
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
2 Saulo gi jo-Israel to nochokore mine gibworo e Holo mar Ela kendo negichanore mondo girad gi jo-Filistia.
And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Jo-Filistia ne ni ewi got moro to jo-Israel bende ne ni e got machielo to holo ne ni e kindgi.
And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
4 Thuon ma nyinge Goliath, ma ja-Gath nowuok koa e kambi mar jo-Filistia. Borne ne en fut ochiko.
And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
5 Nosidho ogut mula e wiye kendo norwako koti mar lweny mar mula ma pekne oromo kilo piero abich gi abiriyo,
And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
6 ogwendene to norwakoe mula mothedhi, kendo noliero tongʼ mar mula e ngʼeye.
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
7 Bond tongʼe ne chalo gi lodi, lew tonge to pekne ne romo kilo abiriyo. Jatingʼne okumba notelo nyime.
And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
8 Goliath nochungʼ mokok ne jolweny mag Israel niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro kendo uriedo ne lweny? Donge an ja-Filistia, to un, donge un jotich Saulo? Yieruru ngʼato mondo olor obi kama antieni.
And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
9 To konyalo kedo koda monega, to wabiro bedo jotiju, to ka ahinge mi anege, to ubiro bedo jotijwa ma tiyonwa.”
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall smite me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and smite him, ye shall be our servants, and serve us.
10 Eka ja-Filistiano nowacho niya, “Kawuononi athiano ne jolweny mag Israel! Miyauru ngʼato mondo wakedgo.”
And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
11 Kane Saulo gi jo-Israel owinjo weche ja-Filistia, kibaji nogoyogi mi luoro nomakogi.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
12 Daudi ne en wuod ja-Efrath miluongo ni Jesse mane oa Bethlehem e piny Juda. Jesse ne nigi yawuowi aboro to e ndalo Saulo ne en ngʼat moti ma hike ngʼeny.
[And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men in the days of Saul. ]
13 Yawuot Jesse adek madongo noluwo Saulo e lweny. Wuowi maduongʼ ne en Eliab, mar ariyo ne Abinadab, to mar adek ne en Shama.
[And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
14 Daudi ema ne wuowi matin kuomgi. Yawuowi adek madongo noluwo bangʼ Saulo,
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 to Daudi ne jadok kinde ka kinde koa ir Saulo mondo odhi okwa romb wuon-gi Bethlehem.
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
16 Kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ja-Filistiano ne wuok okinyi godhiambo konyisore.
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
17 Koro Jesse nowachone Daudi wuode niya, “Kaw atonga mopongʼ gi bando mobul kod makati apar mondo ireti iterne oweteni e kambigi.
[And Jessae said to David, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to thy brothers. ]
18 Kaw bende chak mopoto mongʼin apar mondo itergi ne jatendgi. Nenane kaka oweteni dhi mondo iduogna wach maber moa kuomgi.
[And thou shalt carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and thou shalt see how thy brethren fare, and learn what they want. ]
19 Gin gi Saulo gi jo-Israel duto e holo mar Ela, ka gikedo gi jo-Filistia.”
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
20 Okinyi mangʼich Daudi noweyo rombe gi jokwath, notweyo misike mowuok odhi kaka Jesse nonyise. Nochopo e kambi ka jolweny wuok dhi e paw lweny, ka gigoyo koko kendo gigiyo sigich lweny.
[And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
21 Jo-Israel kod jo-Filistia nochanore koni gi kocha ka gimanyore.
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
22 Daudi noweyo gigege gi jarit gik moko moringo odhi ir jolweny mi omoso owetene.
[And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
23 Kane pod owuoyo kodgi, Goliath mathuon jo-Filistia ma ja-Gath nowuok kuom jolweny kakok kawacho wechege mag ajara mapile kendo Daudi nowinje.
[And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
24 Kane jo-Israel oneno ngʼatno, to giduto ne giringe ka giluor ahinya.
[And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
25 Koro noyudo ka jo-Israel osebedo kawacho niya, “Donge uneno kaka ngʼatni osiko wuok? Owuok, mana mar jaro, Israel. Ruoth biro chiwo mwandu mathoth ne ngʼat monege. Bende obiro miye nyare mondo okendi, joodgi bende ok nogol osuru e Israel.”
[And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall smite him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
26 Daudi nopenjo joma nochungʼ machiegni kode niya, “Ibiro tim angʼo ne ngʼat monego ja-Filistiani magol wichkuodni e Israel? Ja-Filistia ma ok oter nyangu to en ngʼa manyalo jaro jolweny mag Nyasaye mangima?”
[and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall smite that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
27 Neginwoyone weche mane oyudo giwacho mi giwachone niya, “Ma e gima ibiro timo ne ngʼat manonege.”
[And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall smite him. ]
28 Kane Eliab mowadgi Daudi maduongʼ, owinje ka owuoyo gi ji, mirima nomake kode mopenje niya, “Ibiro ka nangʼo? To rombe manok ka to iweyo gi ngʼa e thim? Angʼeyo ni in jangʼayi bende pachi richo, isebiro mana ni mondo ine kaka lweny dhi.”
[And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why hast thou thus come down, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart, for thou art come down to see the battle. ]
29 Daudi nowacho niya, “Koro sani to atimo angʼo? Ok anyal kata wuoyoe?”
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
30 Eka nolokore mochako wuoyo gi ngʼama chielo konono mana wachno kendo ji nodwoke mana wach machalre gi manosewinjo.
[And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
31 Gima Daudi nowacho nolandore mochopo ne Saulo eka Saulo noluonge.
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
32 Daudi nowachone Saulo niya, “Kik chuny ji nyosre nikech ja-Filistiani; jatichni biro dhi mondo oked kode.”
And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray thee, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: thy servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
33 Saulo nodwoko niya, “In ok inyal dhi kedo gi ja-Filistia nikech in mana rawera, to en to osebedo kokedo chakre tin-ne.”
And Saul said to David, Thou wilt not in anywise be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for thou art a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 To Daudi nowacho ni Saulo niya, “Jatichni osebedo kakwayo romb wuon-gi. Ka sibuor kata ondiek omako achiel kuom rombwa,
And David said to Saul, Thy servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
35 to ne alawe kendo agoye mi amaye rombo kagolo e dhoge. Kane ochikore ira, ne amake gi yie dende mi agoye kendo anege.
then I went forth after him, and smote him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Jatichni osenego sibuor gi ondiek; ja-Filistia ma ok oter nyanguni, biro bedo achiel kuomgi nikech osejaro jolwenj Nyasaye mangima.
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
37 Jehova Nyasaye mane oresa e kok sibuor gi kok ondiek biro resa e lwet ja-Filistiani.” Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Dhi kendo Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi.”
The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with thee.
38 Eka Saulo norwako Daudi gi lawe owuon. Norwakone koti mar lweny kendo nosidhone ogudu mar mula e wiye.
And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
39 Daudi notweyo liganglane ewi law mi notemo wuothogo nikech ne ok ongʼiyo gi gigo. Nowachone Saulo niya, “Ok anyal dhi gi gigi nikech ok angʼiyo kodgi.” Omiyo nogonyogi oko.
And he girt David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
40 Eka nokawo ludhe mi oyiero kite mapoth abich ei aora kendo noketogi e ofukune mar kwath mi otingʼo orujre e lwete kendo osudo machiegni gi ja-Filistiano.
And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
41 E kindeno, ja-Filistiano gi jatingʼ kuode, ne sudo machiegni gi Daudi.
And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
42 Eka norango Daudi konone moneno ni en mana rawera ma silwal, ma jaber, mine obuone.
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
43 Nowachone Daudi niya, “An guok mibirona kitongʼona kete?” Ja-Filistia nokwongʼo Daudi gi nying nyisechene.
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Nowachone niya, “Bi ka abiro miyo winy ma e kor yamo ringi gi le man e thim.”
And the Philistine 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 Daudi nowachone ja-Filistiano niya, “Ibirona gi ligangla kod tongʼ gi bidhi, anto abironi e nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach jolweny Israel ma iseyanyo.
And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied
46 Kawuononi Jehova Nyasaye biro keti e lweta, abiro goyi piny mi angʼad ngʼuti. Kawuono abiro miyo winy mae kor polo gi le man e thim ringre jolweny mag jo-Filistia, kendo piny mangima biro ngʼeyo ni nitie Nyasaye ei Israel.
this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
47 Ji duto mochokore ka biro ngʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ok res joge gi ligangla gi tongʼ nimar lweny en mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo obiro chiwou uduto e lwetwa.”
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
48 Kane ja-Filistiano osudo machiegni mondo oked kode, Daudi ne oringo mapiyo piyo kochiko kar kedo mondo orom kode.
And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
49 Nosoyo lwete ei mifukune mogolo kidi; eka noketo kidino e orujre mine odiro mogoyogo lend wangʼ ja-Filistiano. Kidi nodonjo e lend wangʼe mine opodho piny auma.
And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
50 Omiyo Daudi noloyo ja-Filistiano gi orujre kod kidi; ka oonge gi ligangla e lwete nogoyo ja-Filistiano piny monege.
[So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
51 Daudi noringo mochungʼ kuome. Nokawo ligangla ja-Filistia mowuodho e olalone kane osenege, nongʼado wiye gi ligangla. Kane jo-Filistia oneno ni thuon-gi osetho negilokore mi gichako ngʼwech.
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and slew him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
52 Eka jo-Israel gi jo-Juda nosudo machiegni negigiyo sigich lweny mi gilawo jo-Filistia nyaka gichopi kama idonjogo Gath nyaka rangeye mag Ekron. Ringre jogi motho nokeyore e yo madhi Sharaim nyaka Gath gi Ekron.
And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
53 Kane jo-Israel odwogo koa lawo jo-Filistia, ne giyako kargi mar bworo.
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
54 Daudi nokawo wi ja-Filistia mokelo Jerusalem, to gige lweny mag ja-Filistia notero e hembe owuon.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 Kane Saulo orango Daudi e sa mane odhi rado gi ja-Filistia, nopenjo Abner mane jatend jolweny niya, “Abner wuowini en wuod ngʼa?” Abner nodwoko niya “Yaye ruoth, akwongʼora e nyimi ni ok angʼeye.”
And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As thy sould lives, O King, I know not.
56 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Non ane ni wuowini en wuod ngʼa?”
And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is.
57 Mapiyo piyo kane Daudi odwogo koa nego ja-Filistia, Abner nokawe motere e nyim Saulo, kapod Daudi otingʼo wi ja-Filistia.
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
58 Saulo nopenje niya, “Wuowi matin in wuod ngʼa?” Daudi nodwoko niya, “An wuod Jesse ma ja-Bethlehem ma jatichni.”
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said, The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
