1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
Na kua huihui nga Pirihitini i a ratou ope ki te whawhai, a ka whakaminea ki Hokoho o Hura, noho ana i waenganui o Hokoho, o Ateka, i Epeheramime.
2 Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
I huihui ano a Haora ratou ko nga tangata o Iharaira, i noho ki te raorao o Eraha; a ka whakatakoto i a ratou ngohi mo te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini.
3 The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
Na i runga nga Pirihitini i te maunga i tenei taha e tu ana, me Iharaira i te maunga i tera taha e tu ana: he wharua hoki i waenganui o ratou.
4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
Na ko te putanga o tetahi tangata, he papatu, i roto i te puni o nga Pirihitini, ko tona ingoa, ko Koriata, no Kata, e ono whatianga kotahi hoki whanganga a te ringa tona roa.
5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
A he parahi te potae o tona matenga, he pukupuku unahi hoki tona kakahu: ko te taimaha o te pukupuku e rima mano hekere parahi.
6 and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
He whakapuru tao parahi kei ona waewae, a i ona pokohiwi he timata parahi.
7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
Rite tonu hoki ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu te kakau o tana taora; na, ko te taimaha o te tete o tana taoroa e ono rau hekere rino: i mua ano i a ia e haere ana te kaimau o tana whakangungu rakau.
8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
Na ka tu ia, a ka karanga ki nga ngohi a Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou i puta mai ai ki te whakatakoto i a koutou ngohi: ehara ianei ahau i te Pirihitini, ko koutou he pononga na Haora? whiriwhiria he tangata ma koutou, a kia heke ih o ia ki ahau.
9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
Ki te kaha ia ki te whawhai ki ahau, ki te patu i ahau, na ko matou hei pononga ma koutou: ki te kaha ia ko ahau i a ia, ki te patu i a ia, na hei pononga koutou ma matou, a me mahi koutou ki a matou.
10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
I mea ano taua Pirihitini, Tenei taku whakatara inaianei mo nga ngohi a Iharaira; homai he tangata ki ahau kia whawhai maua.
11 On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
A, i te rongonga o Haora ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki enei kupu a te Pirihitini, hopi noa iho ratou, nui atu te wehi.
12 Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
Na, he tama a Rawiri na taua Eparati o Peterehema Hura, ko Hehe nei tona ingoa, tokowaru hoki ana tama: a i nga ra o Haora kua koroheketia taua tangata i roto i nga tangata.
13 The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
Na, tokotoru nga tama a Hehe, ko nga kaumatua, i haere, i aru i a Haora ki te pakanga: ko nga ingoa enei o ana tama tokotoru i haere nei ki te pakanga, ko Eriapa te matamua, ko to muri iho i a ia ko Apinarapa, a ko Hamaha te tuatoru.
14 And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
Ko Rawiri hoki to muri rawa: na aru ana nga mea kaumatua tokotoru i a Haora.
15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
Na haere ai a Rawiri, a ka hoki atu i a Haora ki te tiaki i nga hipi a tona papa i Peterehema.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
Na i te ata, i te ahiahi, ka whakatata mai taua Pirihitini, ka whakaatu i a ia, e wha tekau nga ra.
17 One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
Na ka mea a Hehe ki tana tama, ki a Rawiri, Tena, maua atu tetahi wahi o tenei witi pahuhu, kia kotahi epa, ma ou tuakana, me enei taro kotahi tekau, rere atu ki te puni, ki ou tuakana;
18 Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
Maua atu hoki enei tiihi kotahi tekau ki to ratou rangatira mano, ka tirotiro atu kei te pehea ou tuakana, ka tango mai ai i a ratou tohu.
19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
Na i te raorao o Eraha a Haora me ratou, me nga tangata katoa hoki o Iharaira e whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini.
20 So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
Na ka maranga wawe a Rawiri i te ata, tukua atu ana e ia nga hipi ki te kaitiaki, a mauria ana aua mea e ia, haere ana; pera ana ia me ta Hehe i whakahau ai ki a ia. A, no tona taenga ki te parepare e haere ana te ope ki te whawhai, e hamama ana, mo te whai.
21 And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
Kua oti hoki i a Iharaira ratou ko nga Pirihitini nga ngohi te whakatakoto, tenei ngohi hei whawhai ki tera ngohi.
22 Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
Na tukua ana e Rawiri tana pikaunga ki te ringa o te kaitiaki o nga pikaunga, a rere ana ki te taua, ka tae, ka oha ki ona tuakana.
23 And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, na ko taua papatu, ko te Pirihitini o Kata, ko Koriata tona ingoa, e haere mai ana i roto i nga ngohi a nga Pirihitini, a ka korero ko aua korero ra ano, a ka rongo a Rawiri.
24 When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
A, i te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i taua tangata, rere ana ratou i tona aroaro, a nui atu to ratou wehi.
25 Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
Na ka mea nga tangata o Iharaira, I kite ranei koutou i taua tangata i haere mai nei? He pono he whakatara mo Iharaira i haere mai ai ia: na, ko te tangata e patua ai ia, nui atu nga taonga e homai e te kingi ki a ia, ka homai ano e ia tana tama hine ki a ia, ka whakarangatiratia ano te whare o tona papa i roto i a Iharaira.
26 David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
Na ka korero a Rawiri ki nga tangata e tu ana i tona taha, ka mea, Ka peheatia te tangata e patua ai tenei Pirihitini, e mutu ai te tawai o Iharaira? ko wai hoki tenei Pirihitini kokotikore i whakatara ai ia ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora?
27 The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
Na ka penei te whakahoki a te iwi ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Ka pera ano te hanga ki te tangata, e patua ai ia.
28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
A, no te rongonga o Eriapa, o tona tuakana matamua, i a ia e korero ana ki aua tangata, ko te tino muranga o te riri o Eriapa ki a Rawiri, ka mea ia He aha koe i haere mai ai? i tukua e koe ki a wai aua hipi torutoru ra i te koraha? e mohio ana ahau ki tou whakapehapeha, ki te kino ano hoki o tou ngakau, he matakitaki hoki i te whawhai i haere mai ai koe ki raro nei.
29 “What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
Na ka mea a Rawiri, I aha koia ahau? Kahore ranei he take?
30 Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
Na ka tahuri atu ia i a ia ki tetahi atu, a ka korero atu ko aua kupu ano; a rite tonu ki te kupu tuatahi te kupu i whakahokia mai e te iwi ki a ia.
31 Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
A, no ka rangona nga kupu i korerotia e Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou ki a Haora; a ka tono ia kia tikina ia.
32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Kei hopi te ngakau o tetahi ki a ia: ma tau pononga e haere ki te whawhai ki tenei Pirihitini.
33 But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, E kore e taea e koe te haere ki tenei Pirihitini whawhai ai: he tamariki nei hoki koe, he tangata hapai patu ia no tona tamarikitanga ake.
34 David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, I te tiaki tau pononga i nga hipi a tona papa; na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi raiona, o tetahi pea, kahakina atu ana he reme i roto i te kahui;
35 I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
Na ka puta atu ahau ki te whai i a ia, a patua ana ia e ahau: tangohia mai ana hoki te reme i roto i tona waha; a, no tona whakatikanga mai ki ahau, hopukia ana tona kumikumi e ahau, patua iho kia mate.
36 Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
I patua ruruatia te raiona me te pea e tau pononga; a ka rite tenei Pirihitini kokotikore ki tetahi o raua; mona i whakatara ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora.
37 David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
I mea ano a Rawiri, Ma Ihowa nana nei ahau i whakaora i te wae o te raiona, i te wae o te pea, mana ahau e whakaora i te ringa o tenei Pirihitini. Ano ra ko Haora ki a Rawiri, Haere, hei a koe ano a Ihowa.
38 Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
Na ka whakakakahuria a Rawiri e Haora ki ona kakahu, i potaea ano tona matenga e ia ki te potae parahi: i whakakakahuria ano hoki e ia he pukupuku rino ki a ia.
39 David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
A whitikiria ana e Rawiri tana hoari ki waho ake o ona kakahu; ka anga, ka haere; kihai hoki i whakamatauria e ia. Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, E kore e tika taku haere i enei, kahore hoki i whakamatauria e ahau. Na whakarerea atu ana e Rawiri.
40 And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
Na ka maua atu e ia ko tana tokotoko i tona ringa; i whiriwhiria ano etahi kohatu maeneene e rima mana i roto i te awa, a whaowhina ana ki roto ki tana peke hepara, ara ki te putea; i tona ringa ano tana kotaha, na ko tona whakatatanga atu ki te Pirihitini.
41 Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
A i haere tonu mai te Pirihitini, i whakatata mai ki a Rawiri; ko te kaimau ano o tana whakangungu rakau i haere i mua i a ia.
42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
A, no te tirotirohanga o te Pirihitini, ka kite i a Rawiri, whakahawea ana ki a ia; he taitamariki hoki ia, he kiri puwhero, he ataahua hoki.
43 “Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Na ka mea te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, He kuri ahau i haere mai ai koe me nga tokotoko ki ahau? Na, kanga iho a Rawiri e te Pirihitini ki ona atua.
44 “Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
I mea ano te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, Haere mai ki ahau, a ka hoatu e ahau ou kikokiko ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te parae.
45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki te Pirihitini, I haere mai koe ki ahau me te hoari, me te taoroa, me te timata: ko ahau ia ka haere atu nei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, o te Atua o nga taua a Iharaira, o tau i whakatara ake na.
46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
Ko aianei koe tukua mai ai e Ihowa ki toku ringa, a ka patua koe e ahau, ka tangohia tou upoko i a koe, a ka hoatu aianei nga tinana o te ope o nga Pirihitini ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe mohoao o te whenua, a ka mohio te whenua katoa he Atua ano to Iharaira.
47 And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
A ka mohio tenei whakaminenga katoa, ehara te hoari, te taoroa ranei, i ta Ihowa mea hei whakaora: na Ihowa hoki te whawhai, a mana koutou e homai ki o matou ringa.
48 As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
Na ka whakatika te Pirihitini, ka haere mai, ka whakatata ki te whakatutaki i a Rawiri, na ka hohoro a Rawiri, a rere ana ki te taua kia tutaki ki te Pirihitini.
49 Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
Na kua totoro iho te ringa o Rawiri ki roto ki te peke, kei te tango i tetahi kohatu i roto, piua atu ana e ia, na kua tu te rae o te Pirihitini, toremi atu te kohatu ki roto ki tona rae. Na hinga tapapa iho ana ia ki te whenua.
50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
Heoi he kotaha, he kohatu ta Rawiri, a hinga ana i a ia te Pirihitini, patua ana e ia, mate rawa. Otiia kahore he hoari i te ringa o Rawiri
51 David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
Katahi ka rere a Rawiri, a tu ana i runga i te Pirihitini, na ka mau ki tana hoari, unuhia ana e ia i roto i te takotoranga, na whakamatea ana ia, a tapahia ana tona upoko ki taua hoari. A, no te kitenga o nga Pirihitini kua mate to ratou toa, w hati ana ratou.
52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
Na ka whakatika nga tangata o Iharaira ratou ko Hura, hamama ana, na whaia ana e ratou nga Pirihitini a tae noa koe ki te raorao, ki nga kuwaha o Ekerono. Na hinga ana nga mea i patua o nga Pirihitini i te ara ki Haaraimi a tae noa ki Kata, ki E kerono.
53 When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
Na ka hoki nga tama a Iharaira i te whai i nga Pirihitini, na kei te pahua i to ratou puni.
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Na ka mau a Rawiri ki te upoko o te Pirihitini, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama: ko ana mea ia mo te patu i waiho e ia i tona teneti.
55 As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
Na, i te kitenga o Haora i a Rawiri e haere atu ana ki te tu i te Pirihitini, ka mea ia ki a Apanere, ki te rangatira ope, E Apanere, he tama na wai tena tamaiti? ka mea a Apanere, E ora ana tou wairua, e te kingi, kahore ahau e mohio.
56 “Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
Na ka mea te kingi, Ui atu he tama na wai taua tamaiti.
57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
Na i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka mau a Apanere ki a ia, a kawea ana ki te aroaro o Haora, me te pane ano o te Pirihitini i tona ringa.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
Na ka mea a Haora ki a ia, E tama, na wai koe tamaiti? Ano ra ko Rawiri, He tama ahau na tau pononga, na Hehe o Peterehema.
