Kings I 17
1 And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
Philisti lambong rhoek te coi uh thae tih caemtloek ham Judah khuikah Sokoh ah tingtun uh. Te vaengah Sokoh laklo neh Azekah laklo kah Ephesdammim ah Philisti rhoek te rhaeh uh.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Te dongah Saul neh Israel hlang te tingtun uh tih Elah ah rhaeh uh. Te phoeiah Philisti te doe hamla caemtloek rhong a paiuh.
3 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.
Te vaengah Philisti te tlang pakhat ah pai tih Israel khaw tlang pakhat ah pai van. Amih laklo ah kolrhawk om.
4 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.
Te vaengah Philisti rhaehhmuen lamloh pumlen hlang pakhat ha pawk. Anih tah Gath lamkah tih a ming ah Goliath ni. Anih kah a sang te dong rhuk neh khap at lo.
5 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.
A lu ah rhohum lumuek neh a caempho lip te a pueinak nah. Caempho te a khiing rhohum shekel thawng nga lo.
6 And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
A kho rhoi dongkah rhohum khocin neh a laengpang laklo ah rhohum soe om bal.
7 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.
A thaltang neh a caai tueng te hni tah tampai bangla om tih a caai sum te thi shekel ya rhuk neh a saii. Te vaengah photlinglen aka pom te a hmai ah cet.
8 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.
Te phoeiah Israel caem rhoek te a pai thil tih a doek. Te vaengah amih te, “Balae tih caemtloek rhongpai ham na pawk uh, Philisti te kai moenih a? Nangmih, Saul kah sal rhoek loh namamih ham hlang coelh lamtah kai taengla ha suntla saeh.
9 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.
Anih loh kai te hnueih hamla a na tih kai ng'ngawn atah nangmih taengah sal la ka om uh eh. Tedae anih te kai loh ka na tih ka ngawn atah kaimih taengah sal la na om uh vetih kaimih taengah na thotat uh ni,” a ti nah.
10 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.
Te dongah Philisti loh, “Israel caem rhoek te tihnin ah kai loh ka veet coeng, kai taengah hlang m'pae saeh lamtah khat neh khat hnuei uh rhoi sih,” a ti nah.
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
Amih Philisti ol te Saul neh Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah rhihyawp uh tih bahoeng a rhih uh.
12 [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. ]
David tah Judah Bethlehem lamkah Ephraim hlang kah a capa ni. Anih Ephraim hlang kah a ming tah Jesse tih a taengah ca tongpa parhet om. Tekah hlang khaw Saul tue vaengah tah hlang lakli ah patong lamni a van coeng.
13 [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. ]
Jesse ca rhoek khuikah a ham rhoek pathum loh Saul hnukah ah bang uh tih caemtloek la cet uh. Caemtloek la aka cet a ca pathum kah a ming tah; a cacuek Eliab, a pabae ah Abinadab neh, a pathum ah Shammah ni.
14 [And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
Te vaengah David tah camoe pueng tih a ham pathum longni Saul hnuk a vai uh.
15 [And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
Te dongah David te Saul taeng lamloh bal tih a napa kah boiva te luem puei ham Bethlehem la cet.
16 [And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
Philisti loh a thoh vanneh kholaeh duela thoeih uh tih khohnin sawmli khuiah a pai thil.
17 [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. ]
Te vaengah Jesse loh a capa David te, “Vairhum cangnoek pakhat neh vaidam hluem rha he na maya rhoek taengla khuen lamtah na maya rhoek taengah rhaehhmuen la yong phai laeh.
18 [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. ]
Sukkhal tlang rha te thawngkhat kah mangpa ham khuen pah. Na maya rhoek te sading kawng te hip lamtah amih kah mingphanah te han khuen,” a ti nah.
19 [And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
Te vaengah Saul neh amih Israel hlang boeih long tah Philisti te Elah ah a vathoh thil uh.
20 [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. ]
David te mincang ah thoo tih boiva te aka dawn kung taengah a hlah. Te phoeiah sawn uh tih Jesse loh a uen bangla cet. Namtlak a paan hatah caem la aka khoong tatthai rhoek longtah caemtloek ham yuhui uh.
21 [And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
Te vaengah caem te caem neh mah hamla Israel neh Philisti loh rhong a pai.
22 [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. ]
David loh amah taengkah hnopai te hno khoem kut ah a tloeng tih caem lakli la yong. A pha vaengah a maya rhoek taengah sadingnah kawng te a dawt.
23 [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. ]
Amih neh a cal vaengah, pumlen hlang te pakcak ha thoeng. Anih tah Philisti caem lamkah Gath hlang la om. Philisti Goliath a ming nah tih tahae kah bangla olka a thui vaengah David loh a yaak.
24 [And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
Tekah hlang te Israel hlang boeih loh a hmuh uh vaengah bahoeng a rhih uh tih a mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
25 [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. ]
Israel hlang longtah, “Israel veet ham aka thoeng hlang ke na hmuh uh a? Anih aka ngawn ham hlang ni a. om atah halo saeh. Manghai kah khuehtawn te yet neh a boei sak phoeiah anih a canu pae saeh. A napa imkhui khaw Israel khuiah sayalh la khueh saeh,” a ti uh.
26 [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? ]
Te dongah David loh a taengkah aka pai hlang rhoek te a dawt tih, “Mulhing Pathen caem aka veet pumdul Philisti te unim? Hekah Philisti aka tloek tih Israel pum dongkah kokhahnah aka khoe hlang ham te balae a saii pa eh?,” a ti nah.
27 [And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall smite him. ]
Te dongah anih ham pilnam loh hekah olka he a thui pah tih, “Anih aka ngawn hlang ham hekah he a saii pa ni,” a ti nah.
28 [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. ]
Hlang rhoek taengah a thui te a maya a ham Eliab loh a yaak vaengah Eliab kah thintoek te David taengla sai tih, “Hela balae nan loh, khosoek kah boiva a yol te khaw u taengah lae na hlah? Caemtloek hmuh ham na suntlak dongah na thinko kah na althanah neh na thaenah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
29 [And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
Tedae David loh, “Tahae ah Balae ka saii, tekah te ol moenih a?,” a ti nah.
30 [And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
Te phoeiah anih taeng lamkah te a tloe hmai la mael tih olka te koep a dawt hatah olka te lamhma kah olka bangla anih te pilnam loh a thuung.
31 [And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
David kah a thui ol te a yaak uh vaengah, Saul kah mikhmuh la a phoe puei uh tih David amah te a tah.
32 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.
Saul taengah David loh, “Anih kongah hlang lungbuei hal boel saeh. Na sal he cet vetih Philisti te a vathoh thil bitni,” a ti nah.
33 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.
Tedae David te Saul loh, “Philisti te na caeh thil ham coeng mahpawh, anih neh na hnueih uh rhoi ham khaw na camoe pueng, anih tah a camoe lamkah caemtloek hlang la om coeng,” a ti nah.
34 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,
Tedae David loh Saul taengah, “Na sal he a napa kah boiva taengah aka luem la om. Te vaengah sathueng neh vom halo tih tuping khuikah a koeng.
35 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.
Tedae a hnukah ka hlak tih ka ngawn, a ka khui lamkah te ka huul. Kai m'pai thil vaengah a hmuimul ah ka tuuk tih ka tloek dongah amah te duek.
36 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?
Na sal long he sathueng neh vom khaw a tloek coeng. A hing Pathen kah caem aka veet pumdul Philisti te amih banglam ni a. om,” a ti nah.
37 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.
Te phoeiah David loh, “BOEIPA loh sathueng kut lamkah neh vom kut lamloh kai n'huul coeng. Amah long ni Philisti kut lamkah kai n'huul eh?,” a ti nah. Te daengah David te Saul loh, “Cet lamtah BOEIPA loh nang taengah ha om nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
38 And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
Te phoeiah Saul loh amah kah himbai te David a bai sak tih, a lu dongah rhohum lumuek a muek sak phoeiah caempho khaw a bai sak.
39 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.
David loh a himbai soah a cunghang te a vah tih caeh hamla huel uh dae amah te noem uh tloel. Te dongah David loh Saul taengah, “He nen caeh ham ka coeng moenih, ka noem uh tloel,” a ti nah. Te dongah a pum dongkah aka om te David loh vik a pit.
40 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.
Te dongah a kut dongkah a cunghol a khuen tih soklong kah lungto lungpuelh panga a coelh thil tih boiva aka tudawn hnopai dongkah sungkoi khuiah a yom. Te phoeiah a kut dongkah payai neh Philisti taengla thoeih.
41 And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
A pha vaengah Philisti te cet phai tih David taengla a paan phai. Te vaengah Philisti hlang te a hmai ah hlang pakhat loh photlinglen a pom pah.
42 And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
Philisti loh a paelki vaengah David te a hmuh. Tedae camoe la om tih a lingphung la, a sakthen mueimae dongah David te a hnaep.
43 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.
Te dongah David te Philisti loh, “Kai he ui tih a? Conghol neh kai taengla na pawk,” a ti nah tih a pathen ming neh David te Philisti loh a tap.
44 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.
Te phoeiah David te Philisti loh, “Ka taengla halo lamtah, na saa te vaan kah vaa neh kohong kah rhamsa taengla kam pae dae eh,” a ti nah.
45 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
Tedae David loh Philisti te, “Nang tah kai taengla cunghang neh, caai neh, soe neh na pawk, kai tah nang loh na veet Israel caem rhoek kah Pathen, caempuei Yahweh ming nen ni nang taengla ka pawk.
46 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.
Tihnin ah nang he BOEIPA loh kai kut dongah n'tloeng pawn ni. Te vaengah nang te kan ngawn vetih na pum dongkah na lu te kang rhaih vetih Philisti lambong kah a rhok te tihnin ah vaan kah vaa neh diklai mulhing taengla ka paek ni. Te vaengah Israel lakli ah Pathen om tila diklai pum loh a ming ni.
47 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.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh cunghang neh, caai neh a khang moenih tila hlangping loh boeih a ming ni. BOEIPA kah caemtloek la a om dongah nang te kaimih kut dongla m'paek ni,” a ti nah.
48 And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
Te vaengah Philisti te thoo tih cet phai. David te doe hamla a moeh. Tedae David te cu tih Philisti doe hamla caem te a yong thil.
49 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.
David loh a hno khuila a kut a puei. Te lamkah lungto te a loh tih a dong hatah Philisti te a tal ah a dae. A tal dongah lungto kun tih a hmai longah diklai la cungku.
50 [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. ]
Philisti te David loh payai neh, lungto neh a cuuk thil. Philisti te a dae tih a duek sak vaengah David kut dongah cunghang a om moenih.
51 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.
David te yong tih Philisti te a pai thil. A capang khuikah cunghang te a tuuk tih a bong phoeiah anih te a duek sak. Te neh a lu a rhaih pah vaengah tah a hlangrhalh duek coeng tila a hmuh uh tih Philisti rhoek khaw rhaelrham uh.
52 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.
Te vaengah Israel neh Judah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih yuhui uh. Te phoeiah kolrhawk neh Ekron vongka la aka pawk Philisti rhoek te a hloem uh. Te dongah Philisti kah a rhok he Shaaraim longpuei neh Gath, Ekron duela yalh.
53 And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
Philisti a hlak uh lamkah a bal uh phoeiah Philisti rhaehhmuen te Israel ca loh a reth.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Philisti kah a lu te David loh a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen. Tedae a hnopai te tah a dap ah a khueh pah.
55 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.
Philisti doe hamla David a caeh te a hmuh vaengah Saul loh caempuei mangpa Abner te, “Ke camoe u ca lae?” a ti nah. Abner loh, “Manghai, nang kah hinglu tah hingnah pai ni, anih te ka ming oeh pawh,” a ti nah.
56 And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is.
Te dongah manghai loh, “Camoe ke u ca lae? Namah loh dawt lah,” a ti nah.
57 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.
Te dongah Philisti ngawn lamkah aka mael David te Abner loh a loh tih Saul kah mikhmuh ah a pawk puei. Te vaengah Philisti lu te a kut dongah a pom.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said, The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
Te phoeiah Saul loh, “Cadong nang he u ca lae?” a ti nah. Te vaengah David loh, “Na sal Bethlehem Jesse capa,” a ti nah.
