1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
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 were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, 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 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.
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 out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six 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 an 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.
A lu ah rhohum lumuek neh a caempho lip te a pueinak nah. Caempho te a khiing rhohum shekel thawng nga lo.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass 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 his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield 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 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.
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 If he be able to fight with me, and to 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.
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, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
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 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Amih Philisti ol te Saul neh Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah rhihyawp uh tih bahoeng a rhih uh.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man 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 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 firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
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 was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
Te vaengah David tah camoe pueng tih a ham pathum longni Saul hnuk a vai uh.
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Te dongah David te Saul taeng lamloh bal tih a napa kah boiva te luem puei ham Bethlehem la cet.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Philisti loh a thoh vanneh kholaeh duela thoeih uh tih khohnin sawmli khuiah a pai thil.
17 And Jesse said unto 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;
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 carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
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 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting 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 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 trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and 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 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
Te vaengah caem te caem neh mah hamla Israel neh Philisti loh rhong a pai.
22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
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 as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
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 him, and were sore afraid.
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 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.
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 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 Elohim?
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 answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth 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 eldest brother heard when he spake unto 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 thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest 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 now done? Is there not a cause?
Tedae David loh, “Tahae ah Balae ka saii, tekah te ol moenih a?,” a ti nah.
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again 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 when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
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 no man's heart fail because of 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 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.
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 unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb 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 And 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.
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 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 Elohim.
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 David said moreover, YHWH 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 YHWH 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 armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
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 David girded his sword upon his armour, 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.
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 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.
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 came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
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 when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of 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 unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by hiselohim.
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 unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
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 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 YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom 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 will YHWH deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is an Elohim 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 YHWH saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is YHWH 's, and he will give 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 it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
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 put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
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 with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but 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 Therefore David ran, and stood upon 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 their champion was dead, 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 of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, 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.
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 children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
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 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.
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, Inquire thou whose son the stripling 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, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine 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, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
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.
