1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
Yeroo sana Filisxeemonni lolaaf humna isaanii walitti qabatanii Yihuudaa keessatti Sookootitti wal gaʼan. Isaanis Sakootii fi Azeeqaa gidduu Efes Damiim keessa qubatan.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni Israaʼel immoo wal gaʼanii Sulula Elaa keessa qubatan; Filisxeemota waraanuufis hiriiran.
3 And 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.
Filisxeemonni gaara tokko qabatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo tulluu kaan qabatan; gidduu isaanii immoo sululatu ture.
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Namichi beekamaan Gaatii dhufe kan maqaan isaa Gooliyaad jedhamu tokko qubata Filisxeemotaa keessaa gad baʼe. Hojjaan isaas dhundhuma jaʼaa fi taakkuu tokko ture.
5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
Innis gonfoo naasii mataatti kaaʼatee qomee naasii kan saqilii kuma shan ulfaatu uffata ture;
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
miilla isaattis gambaallee naasii hidhatee gatiittii isaatti eeboo baadhata ture.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield-bearer went before him.
Somaan eeboo isaa furdaa akka muka wayya dhooftuun wayyaa itti martuu ture; sibiilli eeboo isaas saqilii dhibba jaʼa ulfaata ture. Baattuun gaachana isaas fuula isaa dura deema ture.
8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are 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.
Gooliyaadis loltoota Israaʼel kanneen waraanaaf hiriiranitti iyyee akkana jedhe; “Isin waraanaaf hiriirtanii baʼuun keessan maaliif? Ani nama Filisxeem, isin immoo tajaajiltoota Saaʼol mitii? Ofii keessanii nama tokko filadhaatii inni gara kootti gad haa buʼu.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
Yoo inni na lolee na ajjeesuu dandaʼe, nu isin jalatti bulla; yoo ani isa moʼadhee isa ajjeese garuu isin nu jalatti bultanii tajaajiltoota keenya taatu.”
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Filisxeemichis, “Ani harʼa Israaʼeliin nan morkadha! Akka wal lolluuf nama tokko naa kennaa” jedhe.
11 And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Saaʼolii fi Israaʼeloonni hundi yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee raafaman; ni sodaatanis.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men.
Daawit ilma Isseeyi namicha Efraataa kan Beetlihem Yihuudaa sanaa ti. Isseeyis ilmaan saddeeti qaba ture; innis bara Saaʼol keessa nama dulloomee jaare ture.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Ilmaan Isseey hangafoonni sadan Saaʼolin duukaa buʼanii lafa waraanaa dhaqanii turan; maqaan isaaniis inni hangafni Eliiyaab, inni lammaffaan Abiinaadaab, inni sadaffaan immoo Shamaa jedhama ture.
14 And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
Daawit quxisuu hunda isaanii ture. Isaan hangafoonni sadan Saaʼolin duukaa buʼanii deeman;
15 Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
Daawit garuu hoolota abbaa isaa tiksuuf jedhee Saaʼol biraa Beetlihemitti deddeebiʼaa ture.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Namichi Filisxeem sunis guyyaa afurtama ganama ganamaa fi galgala galgala dhufee isaanitti of mulʼisa ture.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
Isseey immoo ilma isaa Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Akaayii kana irraa iifii tokkoo fi buddeena kurnan kana fuudhiitii ariitiidhaan obboloota keetiif iddoo qubata isaaniitti geessi.
18 and bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
Baaduu kurnan kana immoo ajajaa kumaa isaaniitiif geessi. Haala obboloonni kee keessa jiran ilaaliitii oduu isaanii fidii kottu.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Isaan Saaʼolii fi namoota Israaʼel wajjin Sulula Elaa keessatti Filisxeemota lolaa jiru.”
20 And David rose up 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 place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
Daawitis tiksee biratti bushaayee dhiisee ganama barii kaʼee nyaata sana qabatee akkuma Isseey isa ajajetti kaʼee qajeele. Innis utuu loltoonni dhaadachaa hiriiraan adda waraanaatti yaaʼaa jiranuu lafa qubataa gaʼe.
21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
Israaʼelii fi Filisxeemonni tarree tarreedhaan fuula walitti garagalfatan.
22 And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
Daawitis miʼa isaa eegduu miʼaa biratti dhiisee gara adda waraanaatti fiigee obboloota isaa nagaa gaafate.
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
Utuma inni isaan wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Gooliyaad jagnichi Filisxeem namichi Gaati sun hiriira Filisxeemotaa keessaa dubbiidhuma kanaan dura dubbachaa ture sana dubbate; Daawitis isa dhagaʼe.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
Israaʼeloonni hundinuu yommuu namicha arganitti sodaa guddaadhaan isa biraa baqatan.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
Israaʼeloonnis, “Isin akka namichi kun as deddeebiʼaa jiru argituu? Inni dhugumaan Israaʼeliin morkachuuf dhufe. Mootiin nama isa ajjeesuuf qabeenya guddaa kenna. Intala isaa illee itti heerumsiisa; maatii abbaa isaas akka Israaʼel keessatti gibira hin gabbarre godha” waliin jechaa turan.
26 And David spake 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?
Daawit namoota isa bira dhadhaabachaa turaniin, “Nama namicha Filisxeem kana ajjeesee Israaʼel irraa salphina kana fuudhuuf maaltu godhama? Filisxeemichi dhagna hin qabatin kun akka loltoota Waaqa jiraataa doorsisuuf inni eenyuu?” jedhee gaafate.
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Namoonnis, “Wanni nama isa ajjeesuuf godhamu kanuma” jedhanii dubbiidhuma duraan dubbachaa turan sana irra deebiʼanii itti himan.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? 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 mightest see the battle.
Eliiyaab hangafni Daawit inni jalqabaa Daawit namoota wajjin dubbachaa akka jiru yommuu argetti aaree gubatee akkana jedhe; “Ati maal gochuu as gad buute? Hoolota muraasa sana gammoojjii keessatti eenyutti dhiiftee dhufte? Ani of tuulummaa keetii fi hammina garaa keetii nan beeka; ati waraana ilaaluu dhufteetii.”
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
Daawit immoo, “Ani amma maalin godhe? Ani dubbachuu illee hin dandaʼuu?” jedhe.
30 And he turned away from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
Ergasiis gara nama biraatti garagalee waanuma duraa sana gaafate; namoonnis akkuma jalqabaatti deebisaniif.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Wanni Daawit jechaa tures dhagaʼamee Saaʼol qaqqabe; Saaʼolis isa waamsise.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Daawitis Saaʼoliin, “Sababii namicha Filisxeem kanaatiif namni tokko iyyuu abdii hin kutatin; ani garbichi kee dhaqee isa nan waraana” jedhe.
33 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.
Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Ati dhaqxee Filisxeemicha kana waraanuu hin dandeessu; ati ijoollee dha; inni immoo ijoollummaa isaatii jalqabee loltuu ture” jedhe.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
Daawit garuu Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Garbichi kee hoolota abbaa isaa tiksaa ture. Yeroo leenci yookaan amaakenni dhufee bushaayee keessaa tokko fudhatutti,
35 I went out 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.
ani isa faana fiigee dhaʼee hoolaa sana afaan isaatii nan buusisan ture. Yoo inni natti gara gale immoo kokkee isaa qabee dhaʼee isa ajjeesa ture.
36 Thy servant smote 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.
Ani garbichi kee leencaa fi amaaketa ajjeeseera; Filisxeemichi dhagna hin qabatin kunis akkuma tokkoo isaanii taʼa; inni loltoota Waaqa jiraataa doorsiseeraatii.
37 And David said, Jehovah 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 unto David, Go, and Jehovah shall be with thee.
Waaqayyo inni irree leencaatii fi irree amaaketaa jalaa na baase sun harka Filisxeemicha kanaa jalaas na baasa.” Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Dhaqi, Waaqayyo si wajjin haa taʼu” jedhe.
38 And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
Ergasiis Saaʼol uffata lolaa kan ofii isaa Daawititti uffise. Qomee sibiilaa itti uffisee gonfoo naasii mataa isaatti kaaʼeef.
39 And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
Daawitis sababii duraan itti fayyadamee hin beekneef uffata Saaʼol irratti goraadee hidhatee asii fi achi deemuu yaale. Innis Saaʼoliin, “Ani waanan duraan itti fayyadamee hin beekneef hidhadhee deemuu hin dandaʼu” jedhe. Kanaafuu of irraa baase.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
Ergasii ulee isaa harkatti qabatee dhagaa soofamaa shan lagaa filatee kiisii korojoo tikseetti naqate; furrisa isaas harkatti qabatee gara Filisxeemichaatti dhiʼaate.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
Namichi Filisxeem sunis namicha miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu of dura qajeelchee Daawititti dhiʼaate.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
Innis Daawitin ilaalee akka inni mucaa diimaa miidhagaa taʼe hubatee isa tuffate.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Filisxeemichis, “Kan ati ulee qabattee natti dhuftu ani sareedhaa?” jedhee waaqota ofii isaatiin Daawitin abaare.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
Akkasumas, “As kottu; ani foon kee allaattii samiitii fi bineensota bosonaatiif nan kennaa!” jedheen.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
Kana irratti Daawit Filisxeemichaan akkana jedhe; “Ati kunoo goraadee, eeboo fi bodee qabatee natti dhufta; ani garuu maqaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu, Waaqa loltoota Israaʼel kan ati doorsifte sanaatiin sittin dhufa.
46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
Harʼa Waaqayyo dabarsee harka kootti si kenna; anis si ajjeesee mataa kee sirraan kuta. Ani harʼa reeffa Filisxeemotaa allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nan kenna; addunyaan hundis akka Israaʼel keessa Waaqni jiru ni beeka.
47 and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand.
Namoonni asitti walitti qabaman hundi akka Waaqayyo goraadee fi eeboodhaan nama hin baafne ni baru; sababii lolli kun kan Waaqayyoo taʼeef inni dabarsee harka keenyatti isin kenna.”
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Yommuu Filisxeemichi isa dhaʼuuf dhufettis Daawit isa loluuf fiigee adda waraanaa seene.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
Harka isaas korojoo isaa keessa kaaʼee dhagaa tokko fudhatee furrisaan darbatee adda Filisxeemichaa dhaʼe. Dhagaan sunis adda isaa keessa bade; Filisxeemichis addaan lafatti gombifame.
50 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.
Daawit akkasiin furrisaa fi dhagaadhaan Filisxeemicha moʼate; Daawit utuma goraadee of harkaa hin qabaatin Filisxeemicha dhaʼee ajjeese.
51 Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
Daawit fiigee Filisxeemicha irra ejjete. Goraadee Filisxeemichaas manʼee keessaa luqqisee baafate. Erga isa ajjeesee booddees goraadee sanaan mataa isaa irraa kute. Filisxeemonni yommuu akka goonni isaanii duʼe arganitti of irra garagalanii baqatan.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
Ergasii namoonni Israaʼelii fi namoonni Yihuudaa kaʼanii dhaadachaa hamma balbala Gaatii fi karra Eqroonitti Filisxeemota ariʼan. Reeffi Filisxeemotaas karaa Shaʼarayiimitti geessu irratti hamma Gaatii fi Eqroonitti harcaʼe.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Israaʼeloonni yommuu Filisxeemota ariʼuu irraa deebiʼanitti qubata isaanii saaman.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
Daawitis mataa Filisxeemichaa fudhatee gara Yerusaalemitti fide; miʼa lolaa Filisxeemichaas dunkaana ofii isaatti galfate.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
Saaʼol yommuu akka Daawit Filisxeemicha loluuf deemu argetti, Abneer ajajaa waraana Israaʼeliin, “Abneer, gurbaan kun ilma eenyuu ti?” jedhe. Abneeris, “Yaa Mootii, duʼa kee ti ani hin beeku” jedhee deebise.
56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.
Mootichis, “Egaa akka gurbaan kun ilma eenyuu taʼe iyyaafadhuuttii bira gaʼi” jedheen.
57 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.
Akkuma Daawit Filisxeemicha ajjeesee deebiʼeen, Abneer Daawitii mataa Filisxeemichaa harkatti qabatee jiru fuula Saaʼol duratti dhiʼeesse.
58 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.
Saaʼolis, “Gurbayyoo ati ilma eenyuu ti?” jedhee gaafate. Daawit immoo, “Ani ilma garbicha keetii ilma Isseeyi namicha Beetlihem sanaa ti” jedhee deebise.
