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.
Koro jo-Filistia nochoko jolweny mag-gi mondo gikedi kendo negichokore kama iluongo ni Soko e piny Juda. Negijot Efes-Damin man e kind Soko gi Azeka.
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.
Saulo gi jo-Israel to nochokore mine gibworo e Holo mar Ela kendo negichanore mondo girad gi jo-Filistia.
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.
Jo-Filistia ne ni ewi got moro to jo-Israel bende ne ni e got machielo to holo ne ni e kindgi.
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.
Thuon ma nyinge Goliath, ma ja-Gath nowuok koa e kambi mar jo-Filistia. Borne ne en fut ochiko.
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.
Nosidho ogut mula e wiye kendo norwako koti mar lweny mar mula ma pekne oromo kilo piero abich gi abiriyo,
6 And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
ogwendene to norwakoe mula mothedhi, kendo noliero tongʼ mar mula e ngʼeye.
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.
Bond tongʼe ne chalo gi lodi, lew tonge to pekne ne romo kilo abiriyo. Jatingʼne okumba notelo nyime.
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.
Goliath nochungʼ mokok ne jolweny mag Israel niya, “Angʼo momiyo ubiro kendo uriedo ne lweny? Donge an ja-Filistia, to un, donge un jotich Saulo? Yieruru ngʼato mondo olor obi kama antieni.
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.
To konyalo kedo koda monega, to wabiro bedo jotiju, to ka ahinge mi anege, to ubiro bedo jotijwa ma tiyonwa.”
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Eka ja-Filistiano nowacho niya, “Kawuononi athiano ne jolweny mag Israel! Miyauru ngʼato mondo wakedgo.”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Kane Saulo gi jo-Israel owinjo weche ja-Filistia, kibaji nogoyogi mi luoro nomakogi.
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.
Daudi ne en wuod ja-Efrath miluongo ni Jesse mane oa Bethlehem e piny Juda. Jesse ne nigi yawuowi aboro to e ndalo Saulo ne en ngʼat moti ma hike ngʼeny.
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.
Yawuot Jesse adek madongo noluwo Saulo e lweny. Wuowi maduongʼ ne en Eliab, mar ariyo ne Abinadab, to mar adek ne en Shama.
14 And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
Daudi ema ne wuowi matin kuomgi. Yawuowi adek madongo noluwo bangʼ Saulo,
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
to Daudi ne jadok kinde ka kinde koa ir Saulo mondo odhi okwa romb wuon-gi Bethlehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ja-Filistiano ne wuok okinyi godhiambo konyisore.
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;
Koro Jesse nowachone Daudi wuode niya, “Kaw atonga mopongʼ gi bando mobul kod makati apar mondo ireti iterne oweteni e kambigi.
18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
Kaw bende chak mopoto mongʼin apar mondo itergi ne jatendgi. Nenane kaka oweteni dhi mondo iduogna wach maber moa kuomgi.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Gin gi Saulo gi jo-Israel duto e holo mar Ela, ka gikedo gi jo-Filistia.”
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.
Okinyi mangʼich Daudi noweyo rombe gi jokwath, notweyo misike mowuok odhi kaka Jesse nonyise. Nochopo e kambi ka jolweny wuok dhi e paw lweny, ka gigoyo koko kendo gigiyo sigich lweny.
21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
Jo-Israel kod jo-Filistia nochanore koni gi kocha ka gimanyore.
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.
Daudi noweyo gigege gi jarit gik moko moringo odhi ir jolweny mi omoso owetene.
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].
Kane pod owuoyo kodgi, Goliath mathuon jo-Filistia ma ja-Gath nowuok kuom jolweny kakok kawacho wechege mag ajara mapile kendo Daudi nowinje.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
Kane jo-Israel oneno ngʼatno, to giduto ne giringe ka giluor ahinya.
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.
Koro noyudo ka jo-Israel osebedo kawacho niya, “Donge uneno kaka ngʼatni osiko wuok? Owuok, mana mar jaro, Israel. Ruoth biro chiwo mwandu mathoth ne ngʼat monege. Bende obiro miye nyare mondo okendi, joodgi bende ok nogol osuru e Israel.”
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?
Daudi nopenjo joma nochungʼ machiegni kode niya, “Ibiro tim angʼo ne ngʼat monego ja-Filistiani magol wichkuodni e Israel? Ja-Filistia ma ok oter nyangu to en ngʼa manyalo jaro jolweny mag Nyasaye mangima?”
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Neginwoyone weche mane oyudo giwacho mi giwachone niya, “Ma e gima ibiro timo ne ngʼat manonege.”
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.
Kane Eliab mowadgi Daudi maduongʼ, owinje ka owuoyo gi ji, mirima nomake kode mopenje niya, “Ibiro ka nangʼo? To rombe manok ka to iweyo gi ngʼa e thim? Angʼeyo ni in jangʼayi bende pachi richo, isebiro mana ni mondo ine kaka lweny dhi.”
29 And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?
Daudi nowacho niya, “Koro sani to atimo angʼo? Ok anyal kata wuoyoe?”
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
Eka nolokore mochako wuoyo gi ngʼama chielo konono mana wachno kendo ji nodwoke mana wach machalre gi manosewinjo.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
Gima Daudi nowacho nolandore mochopo ne Saulo eka Saulo noluonge.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Daudi nowachone Saulo niya, “Kik chuny ji nyosre nikech ja-Filistiani; jatichni biro dhi mondo oked kode.”
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.
Saulo nodwoko niya, “In ok inyal dhi kedo gi ja-Filistia nikech in mana rawera, to en to osebedo kokedo chakre tin-ne.”
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:
To Daudi nowacho ni Saulo niya, “Jatichni osebedo kakwayo romb wuon-gi. Ka sibuor kata ondiek omako achiel kuom rombwa,
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.
to ne alawe kendo agoye mi amaye rombo kagolo e dhoge. Kane ochikore ira, ne amake gi yie dende mi agoye kendo anege.
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.
Jatichni osenego sibuor gi ondiek; ja-Filistia ma ok oter nyanguni, biro bedo achiel kuomgi nikech osejaro jolwenj Nyasaye mangima.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye mane oresa e kok sibuor gi kok ondiek biro resa e lwet ja-Filistiani.” Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Dhi kendo Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi.”
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.
Eka Saulo norwako Daudi gi lawe owuon. Norwakone koti mar lweny kendo nosidhone ogudu mar mula e wiye.
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.
Daudi notweyo liganglane ewi law mi notemo wuothogo nikech ne ok ongʼiyo gi gigo. Nowachone Saulo niya, “Ok anyal dhi gi gigi nikech ok angʼiyo kodgi.” Omiyo nogonyogi oko.
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.
Eka nokawo ludhe mi oyiero kite mapoth abich ei aora kendo noketogi e ofukune mar kwath mi otingʼo orujre e lwete kendo osudo machiegni gi ja-Filistiano.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield [went] before him.
E kindeno, ja-Filistiano gi jatingʼ kuode, ne sudo machiegni gi Daudi.
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.
Eka norango Daudi konone moneno ni en mana rawera ma silwal, ma jaber, mine obuone.
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.
Nowachone Daudi niya, “An guok mibirona kitongʼona kete?” Ja-Filistia nokwongʼo Daudi gi nying nyisechene.
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.
Nowachone niya, “Bi ka abiro miyo winy ma e kor yamo ringi gi le man e thim.”
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.
Daudi nowachone ja-Filistiano niya, “Ibirona gi ligangla kod tongʼ gi bidhi, anto abironi e nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach jolweny Israel ma iseyanyo.
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.
Kawuononi Jehova Nyasaye biro keti e lweta, abiro goyi piny mi angʼad ngʼuti. Kawuono abiro miyo winy mae kor polo gi le man e thim ringre jolweny mag jo-Filistia, kendo piny mangima biro ngʼeyo ni nitie Nyasaye ei Israel.
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.
Ji duto mochokore ka biro ngʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye ok res joge gi ligangla gi tongʼ nimar lweny en mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo obiro chiwou uduto e lwetwa.”
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.
Kane ja-Filistiano osudo machiegni mondo oked kode, Daudi ne oringo mapiyo piyo kochiko kar kedo mondo orom kode.
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.
Nosoyo lwete ei mifukune mogolo kidi; eka noketo kidino e orujre mine odiro mogoyogo lend wangʼ ja-Filistiano. Kidi nodonjo e lend wangʼe mine opodho piny auma.
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.
Omiyo Daudi noloyo ja-Filistiano gi orujre kod kidi; ka oonge gi ligangla e lwete nogoyo ja-Filistiano piny monege.
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.
Daudi noringo mochungʼ kuome. Nokawo ligangla ja-Filistia mowuodho e olalone kane osenege, nongʼado wiye gi ligangla. Kane jo-Filistia oneno ni thuon-gi osetho negilokore mi gichako ngʼwech.
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.
Eka jo-Israel gi jo-Juda nosudo machiegni negigiyo sigich lweny mi gilawo jo-Filistia nyaka gichopi kama idonjogo Gath nyaka rangeye mag Ekron. Ringre jogi motho nokeyore e yo madhi Sharaim nyaka Gath gi Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
Kane jo-Israel odwogo koa lawo jo-Filistia, ne giyako kargi mar bworo.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Daudi nokawo wi ja-Filistia mokelo Jerusalem, to gige lweny mag ja-Filistia notero e hembe owuon.
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.
Kane Saulo orango Daudi e sa mane odhi rado gi ja-Filistia, nopenjo Abner mane jatend jolweny niya, “Abner wuowini en wuod ngʼa?” Abner nodwoko niya “Yaye ruoth, akwongʼora e nyimi ni ok angʼeye.”
56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling [is].
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Non ane ni wuowini en wuod ngʼa?”
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.
Mapiyo piyo kane Daudi odwogo koa nego ja-Filistia, Abner nokawe motere e nyim Saulo, kapod Daudi otingʼo wi ja-Filistia.
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.
Saulo nopenje niya, “Wuowi matin in wuod ngʼa?” Daudi nodwoko niya, “An wuod Jesse ma ja-Bethlehem ma jatichni.”
