1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda, and camped between Socho and Azeca in the borders of Dommim.
Filistinnaw ni taran tuk hane ransanaw a pâkhueng teh Judah ram Sokoh kho dawk a kamkhueng awh teh Sokoh hoi Azekah a rahak Ephesdammin hmuen koe a tungpup awh.
2 And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.
Sawl hoi Isarelnaw hmuen buet touh koe a kamkhueng awh teh Elah yawn dawk a tungpup awh teh, Filistinnaw tuk hanelah a kâcai awh.
3 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.
Filistinnaw teh avanglae mon dawk a kangdue awh teh, Isarelnaw teh avanglae mon dawk a kangdue awh, rahak dawkvah a yawn pui ao.
4 And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span:
Filistin ransa thung dawk hoi, Gath kho e Goliath a min kâphung e a tâco, a rasang e dong taruk touh hoi khap touh a pha.
5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass:
Rahumluhuem a kâmuk teh Bahling angki a kho, hote angki teh rahum shekel 5000 tabang a ri.
6 And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders.
A khokrangan dawk rahum a pada teh a loung hoi a loung rahak rahum tahroe a ka va.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.
A tahroecung teh hni kawng kalawng e patetlah. Tahroe hmo teh shekel 600 tabang a ri teh, bahling ka sin e hah a hmalah a cei.
8 And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.
A kangdue teh Isarelnaw a hram sin. Bangdawkmaw taran hanelah, na tâco awh. Kai teh Filistin tami buet touh lah ka o. Nangmanaw teh Sawl e a san nahoehmaw, tami buet touh roi awh nateh kai koe tho sak awh.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.
Ahni ni kai na tâ pawiteh nangmouh koe san lah ka o awh han. Ahni hah kai ni ka tâ lah ka thet pawiteh, ka san lah na o awh vaiteh kaimae thaw na tawk awh han telah atipouh.
10 And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.
Filistin tami kai ni sahnin Isarel ransanaw na savek awh. Kai koe tami buet touh patoun awh. Kai hoi kâhmo roi han telah a ti.
11 And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Sawl hoi Isarelnaw ni hote lawk a thai awh navah, pueng hoi a taki teh a pâyaw awh.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.
Devit teh Judah ram, Bethlehem kho Jesi e capa doeh. Jesi ni capa a tawn e ataroe e doeh. Ahni teh a matawng poung toe.
13 And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.
Jesi e a ca kacuenaw kathum touh teh Sawl e hnuk a kâbang awh. A capa kathum touh taran tuknae koe ka cet e a minnaw teh, kacuepoung e Eliab, apâhni e Abinadab, hoi apâthum e Shammah tinaw doeh.
14 But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,
Devit teh cahnoung poung e capa doeh. A capa kacue e kathum touh ni Sawl koe a kâbang awh ei,
15 David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father’s flock at Bethlehem.
Devit hateh Sawl koehoi Bethlehem kho koe lah a na pa e tu khoumnae koe atu hoi tu a cei.
16 Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Filistin tami ni amom tangmin ahnimouh koe a hnai pouh teh hnin 40 touh a kamnue pouh.
17 And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.
Jesi ni a capa Devit koevah atu na hmaunaw hanlah cai ephah buet touh, hete vaiyei 10 touh lat nateh na hmaunaw aonae koe lah karanglah cet haw.
18 And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.
Maito sanu kamkak e tueng 10 touh hai ransa 1, 000 kaukkung hanlah sin pouh. Na hmaunaw a dam hoi dam hoeh e na khet hnukkhu, ahnimouh koehoi hno buet buet touh sin la atipouh.
19 But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.
Sawl hoi Isarelnaw teh Elah yawn vah ao awh telah a ti.
20 David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.
Devit amom a thaw teh, tunaw ka khoum hane tami buet touh koe a ceitakhai teh, Jesi ni kâ a poe e patetlah rawca a sin teh a cei. Isarel ransanaw taran tuk han a hramki awh lahun nah tungpup im koe a pha.
21 For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.
Isarel ransanaw hoi Filistin ransanaw teh a kâtuk awh hanelah rek a kâhnai awh.
22 And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.
Devit ni hno ka khen hane koe a kut dawk a poe teh ransa aonae koe lah a yawng teh, a hmaunaw hah kut a man.
23 And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.
Ahnimouh hoi lawk a kâdei lahun nah Gath kho e Filistin tami Goliath teh Filistin ransanaw e hmalah hoi a tâco teh ouk a dei e patetlah lawk bout a dei e Devit ni a thai.
24 And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.
Isarel ransanaw ni a hmu awh navah, a takipoung awh. Ahnie a hmalah hoi a yawng awh.
25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house free from tribute in Israel.
Isarelnaw ni ka tâcawt e tami na hmu awh ou, Isarelnaw a savek hanelah a tho toe. Ahni ka thet e teh, siangpahrang ni moikapap e poehno hoi a bawi sak han. Hothloilah, a canu hai a poe han. Ahnie imthungnaw hai a ngai patetlah ao sak han.
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
Devit ni ateng kangdoutnaw koe, hete Filistin tami ka thet niteh, Isarelnaw min mathoenae kahawi sak e tami teh bangtelamaw sak hanelah ao han. Vuensom ka a hoeh e Filistin tami heh bangpatet e tami na maw, ka hring Cathut e ransa ka savek e tami nahoehmaw atipouh.
27 And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.
Tami pueng ni, hete tami ka thet e teh ka dei awh e patetlah sak pouh han telah atipouh awh.
28 Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.
Ahnimouh hoi Devit lawk a kâdei e hah kacuepoung e Eliab ni a thai nah, Devit koe a lung hmatara a khuek. Kahrawng e tu hah apimaw na khoum sak. Na kâoupnae na lung poannae na lungthin ka panue. Kâtuknae khet hane doeh na tho tie ka panue telah a ti.
29 And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?
Devit ni atu bangmaw ka sak, a lamthung kaawm nahoehmaw telah a ti.
30 And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.
Ahni koehoi alouklah a kangvawi takhai teh, ouk a dei patetlah bout a dei pouh.
31 And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.
Devit ni a dei e lawk a thai awh teh, Sawl e hmalah a dei pouh awh nah, Devit hah a kaw.
32 And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man’s heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.
Devit ni Sawl koe ahni kecu dawk buet touh hai na lungpout sak hanh awh. Na san kai ni ka cei vaiteh hote Filistin tami ka tuk han telah a dei pouh.
33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.
Sawl ni hote Filistin tami na tuk thai hane kawi lah awm hoeh. Nang teh na naw rah, ahni teh a nawca hoi tarantuk ka thoum e doeh telah Devit koe a dei pouh navah,
34 And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:
Devit ni Sawl koe tunaw na san kai ni ka khoum nah, sendek thoseh, tavom thoseh, a tho navah, tuhu dawk e tu a la navah,
35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
Ka pâlei teh a pahni dawk e ka lawp, hahoi na cusin navah, a pâkhamuen dawk ka man pouh teh ka thei.
36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?
Sendek hoi Tavom na san kai ni ka thei na maw, Cathut e ransanaw ka savek vuensom ka a hoeh e Filistin tami hai hote buet buet touh e patetlah han doeh atipouh.
37 And David said: The Lord who 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.
Sendek kut hoi tavom kut dawk hoi thoseh, kai na ka rungngang e BAWIPA ni hote Filistin kut dawk hoi hai na rungngang han doeh telah Devit ni bout a dei navah cet leih, Cathut teh nang hoi rei awm naseh telah Devit koe atipouh.
38 And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.
Sawl ni amae a puengcang a kho sak teh, a lû dawk rahumluhuem a kâmuk hnukkhu saiphei a kho sak.
39 And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,
Devit ni a angki van Sawl e tahloi a kava teh a cei bo teh, ouk a khohna boihoeh dawkvah, Sawl koe Devit ni ka cet thai mahoeh telah atipouh. Devit ni hot naw be a rading pouh.
40 And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd’s scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.
Amae sonron hah a kut hoi a sin teh palang dawk e talung kâpica e 5 touh a rawi. Tu khoumnae koe a sin e yawngya dawk a pâseng. A kut dawk tâyai hoi Filistin tami teh a pâtam.
41 And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.
Filistin tami ni a tho teh Devit koe lah rek a hnai. Ahnie hmalah bahling ka sin e hai ao.
42 And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.
Filistin tami ni a khet navah, Devit a hmu teh sam palingvuek, a mei a hawi teh khet ahawi, camo lah ao dawk banglahai noutna hoeh.
43 And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Hote Filistin tami ni, Devit koe kai ui lah maw ka tho teh, bongpai hoi khuet na tho sin vaw atipouh teh, Filistin tami ni a cathut noe lahoi Devit thoe a bo.
44 And he 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.
Devit koevah kai koe tho haw, na moi hah kalvan e tava hoi kahrawng sarangnaw koe ka poe han telah bout a ti.
45 And David said 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, which thou hast defied.
Devit ni Filistin tami hanelah, kai koevah tahloi, tahroeca, tahroepui, hoi na tho, kai teh nang ni na savek e Isarel ransabawi Cathut, ransabawi Jehovah min hoi doeh nang koe ka tho.
46 This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Cathut ni sahnin nang hah teh kaie kut dawk na poe e lah ao vaiteh, nang hah kai ni na thei hnukkhu na lû tâtueng han. Hahoi Filistin ransanaw e ro hah kalvan e tava hoi talai dawk e moithangnaw ka poe han. Isarelnaw koe Cathut ao tie talai van pueng ka panue sak han.
47 And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.
Hete tamihunaw ni hai BAWIPA ni tahloi hoi tahroe hoi na rungngang hoeh tie a panue awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarantuknae teh BAWIPA e doeh. Ama ni nangmanaw teh kaimae kut dawk na poe han telah a ti.
48 And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.
Filistin tami teh a tho teh, Devit kâhmo hane rek a hnai nah, Devit ni Filistin tami kâhmo hane karanglah a yawng.
49 And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.
Devit ni a yawngya thung a tapu teh, athung e talung buet touh a rasa hnukkhu tâyai hoi a yai teh, Filistin tami e tampa dawk a yai pouh. A tampa hlut ati teh talai dawk pakhup lah rawk a tabo.
50 And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,
Hottelah, Devit ni tâyai hoi talung buet touh hoi hote Filistin tami a tâ teh a thei, a kut dawk tahloi sin hoeh.
51 He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.
Devit ni a yawng sin teh, Filistin tami van a kangdue teh, ahnie tahloi tabu dawk e tahloi a rayu teh, a lahuen mon a tâtueng pouh. Filistinnaw ni a thakaawmpounge a due e a hmu awh torei teh, koung a yawng awh.
52 And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.
Isarel hoi Judah ransanaw a thaw awh teh, hram laihoi ayawn apout ditouh thoseh, Ekron longkha totouh thoseh, a pâlei awh. Hahoi Filistin tami thung dawk e a hmâ kacatnaw teh Shaaraim lam koehoi Gath hoi Ekron totouh a kamlei awh.
53 And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.
Isarelnaw teh Filistinnaw pâleinae koehoi bout a ban awh teh, ahnimae pupimnaw be a raphoe pouh awh.
54 And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.
Devit ni Filistin tami e a lû hah a la teh, Jerusalem kho totouh a sin. A puengcangnaw teh a rim dawk a hruek pouh.
55 Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.
Sawl ni Filistin tami tuk hanelah Devit a cei e a hmu navah, ransanaw kaukkung Abner koe, Abner hete nawsai heh apie capa maw telah a pacei. Abner ni oe siangpahrang na hring e patetlah kai ni ka panuek hoeh telah a ti.
56 And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.
Hottelah Siangpahrang ni hete camo heh api capa maw pacei haw, telah atipouh.
57 And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Hote Filistin tami a theinae koehoi Devit a tho nah Abner ni ahni hah a kaw teh, Sawl koe a ceikhai. Filistin tami e a lû a kut dawk a sin.
58 And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite.
Sawl ni ahni koe thoundoun nang apie capa maw telah a pacei. Devit ni Bethlehem kho e na san Jesi capa telah a ti.
