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.
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 men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array 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 champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, 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] 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.
Rahumluhuem a kâmuk teh Bahling angki a kho, hote angki teh rahum shekel 5000 tabang a ri.
6 And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between 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 his spear’s head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield 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 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.
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 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.
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 defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
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 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they 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 Beth-lehem-judah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul.
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 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.
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 And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
Devit teh cahnoung poung e capa doeh. A capa kacue e kathum touh ni Sawl koe a kâbang awh ei,
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
Devit hateh Sawl koehoi Bethlehem kho koe lah a na pa e tu khoumnae koe atu hoi tu a cei.
16 And the Philistine drew near 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 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;
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 cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
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 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Sawl hoi Isarelnaw teh Elah yawn vah ao awh telah a ti.
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.
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 and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
Isarel ransanaw hoi Filistin ransanaw teh a kâtuk awh hanelah rek a kâhnai awh.
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.
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, 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].
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 men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
Isarel ransanaw ni a hmu awh navah, a takipoung awh. Ahnie a hmalah hoi a yawng awh.
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.
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 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?
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 after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Tami pueng ni, hete tami ka thet e teh ka dei awh e patetlah sak pouh han telah atipouh awh.
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.
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 now done? [Is there] not a cause?
Devit ni atu bangmaw ka sak, a lamthung kaawm nahoehmaw telah a ti.
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
Ahni koehoi alouklah a kangvawi takhai teh, ouk a dei patetlah bout a dei pouh.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
Devit ni a dei e lawk a thai awh teh, Sawl e hmalah a dei pouh awh nah, Devit hah a kaw.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this 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 go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a youth, and he a man of war 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 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:
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 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.
Ka pâlei teh a pahni dawk e ka lawp, hahoi na cusin navah, a pâkhamuen dawk ka man pouh teh ka thei.
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 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 David said moreover, The LORD 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 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 armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he 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 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.
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 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.
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 near unto David; and the man that bare the shield [went] 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 about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair 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 unto David, [Am] I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? 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 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.
Devit koevah kai koe tho haw, na moi hah kalvan e tava hoi kahrawng sarangnaw koe ka poe han telah bout a ti.
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 the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom 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 will the LORD 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 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 the battle [is] the LORD’s, and he will give 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 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.
Filistin tami teh a tho teh, Devit kâhmo hane rek a hnai nah, Devit ni Filistin tami kâhmo hane karanglah a yawng.
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.
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 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.
Hottelah, Devit ni tâyai hoi talung buet touh hoi hote Filistin tami a tâ teh a thei, a kut dawk tahloi sin hoeh.
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.
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 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.
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 returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
Isarelnaw teh Filistinnaw pâleinae koehoi bout a ban awh teh, ahnimae pupimnaw be a raphoe pouh awh.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour 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 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.
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, Enquire thou whose son the stripling [is].
Hottelah Siangpahrang ni hete camo heh api capa maw pacei haw, telah atipouh.
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.
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, Whose son [art] thou, [thou] young man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
Sawl ni ahni koe thoundoun nang apie capa maw telah a pacei. Devit ni Bethlehem kho e na san Jesi capa telah a ti.
