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.
Now the Philistines collected their armies to battle, and were assembled at Shochoh, which [belongeth] to Judah, and encamped between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
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 were assembled and encamped by the valley of Elah, and [they] 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 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 Thuon ma nyinge Goliath, ma ja-Gath nowuok koa e kambi mar jo-Filistia. Borne ne en fut ochiko.
And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose hight [was] six 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 of brass upon his head, and he [was] armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat [was] five thousand shekels of brass.
6 ogwendene to norwakoe mula mothedhi, kendo noliero tongʼ mar mula e ngʼeye.
And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass 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 his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield 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 armies of Israel, and said to them, Why have ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, 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.”
If he shall be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I shall prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye 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, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 Kane Saulo gi jo-Israel owinjo weche ja-Filistia, kibaji nogoyogi mi luoro nomakogi.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
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.
Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men [for] an old man 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 eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle [were] Eliab the first-born, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 Daudi ema ne wuowi matin kuomgi. Yawuowi adek madongo noluwo bangʼ Saulo,
And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 to Daudi ne jadok kinde ka kinde koa ir Saulo mondo odhi okwa romb wuon-gi Bethlehem.
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
16 Kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ja-Filistiano ne wuok okinyi godhiambo konyisore.
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself 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 Jesse said to David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18 Kaw bende chak mopoto mongʼin apar mondo itergi ne jatendgi. Nenane kaka oweteni dhi mondo iduogna wach maber moa kuomgi.
And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of [their] thousand, and see how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19 Gin gi Saulo gi jo-Israel duto e holo mar Ela, ka gikedo gi jo-Filistia.”
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting 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 with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 Jo-Israel kod jo-Filistia nochanore koni gi kocha ka gimanyore.
For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 Daudi noweyo gigege gi jarit gik moko moringo odhi ir jolweny mi omoso owetene.
And David left his furniture in the hand of the keeper of the vessels, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
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 as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, from the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard [them].
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 him, and were exceedingly afraid.
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 hath come up? surely to defy Israel hath he come: and it shall be, [that] the man who shall kill him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and 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 that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 Neginwoyone weche mane oyudo giwacho mi giwachone niya, “Ma e gima ibiro timo ne ngʼat manonege.”
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth 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 eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mayest see the battle.
29 Daudi nowacho niya, “Koro sani to atimo angʼo? Ok anyal kata wuoyoe?”
And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?
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 spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 Gima Daudi nowacho nolandore mochopo ne Saulo eka Saulo noluonge.
And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 Daudi nowachone Saulo niya, “Kik chuny ji nyosre nikech ja-Filistiani; jatichni biro dhi mondo oked kode.”
And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of 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 art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a 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 kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb 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.
And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, 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 slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies 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.”
David said moreover, The LORD that 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 Eka Saulo norwako Daudi gi lawe owuon. Norwakone koti mar lweny kendo nosidhone ogudu mar mula e wiye.
And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
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 David girded his sword upon his armor, and he essayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these, for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off 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 chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 E kindeno, ja-Filistiano gi jatingʼ kuode, ne sudo machiegni gi Daudi.
And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield [went] before him.
42 Eka norango Daudi konone moneno ni en mana rawera ma silwal, ma jaber, mine obuone.
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was a youth, and ruddy, and of 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 a dog, that thou comest to me with staffs? 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 fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
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.
Then said David 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, whom 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 will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may 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 saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give 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 it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.
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 put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and hurled it with his sling, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
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 with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [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.
Therefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, 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 of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 Kane jo-Israel odwogo koa lawo jo-Filistia, ne giyako kargi mar bworo.
And the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents.
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 armor 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 go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner the captain of the host, Abner, whose son [is] this youth? And Abner said, [As] thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
56 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Non ane ni wuowini en wuod ngʼa?”
And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling [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, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine 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, [thou] young man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
