1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
To naah Philistin kaminawk loe misatuk hanah, Judah prae Sokoh vangpui ah amkhueng o; Sokoh hoi Azekah vangpui salak ih Ephes-Dammim ah ataihaih im to a sak o.
2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saul hoi Israel kaminawk doeh nawnto amkhueng o toeng moe, Elah azawn ah atai o pacoengah, Philistin kaminawk hoi angtuk hanah angphaeng o.
3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Philistinnawk loe ho bang ih mae ah oh o, Israel kaminawk doeh hae bang ih mae ah oh o, nihcae salakah azawn to oh.
4 There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
Philistin kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah Gath acaeng Goliah, tiah ahmin kaom kami to oh; anih loe dong tarukto pacoeng kar to sang.
5 And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
Anih loe sumkamling lumuek to angmuek moe, shekel sang pangato kazit sumkamling misa angvaenghaih aphaw to angkhuk.
6 And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
A khok to sumkamling hoiah padap moe, a hnukbang ah sumkamling tayae to avak.
7 Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of him.
Anih ih tayae haa loe caham haa baktiah ah noet; anih ih tayae loe shekel cumvai tarukto azit; anih ih aphaw sinkung loe anih hmaa ah caeh.
8 He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
Goliath loe angdoet moe, Israel misatuh angraengnawk khaeah, Tipongah misatuk hanah nang zoh o loe? Kai loe Philistin kami ah ka oh, nangcae loe Saul ih tamna ah na ai maw na oh o? Kai hoi angtuk hanah kami maeto qoi oh, anih to kai khaeah angzo o sak tathuk ah.
9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
Anih mah kai tuh thaih moe, na hum nahaeloe, nangcae ih tamna ah ka oh o han; toe anih to ka pazawk moe, ka hum nahaeloe, nangcae doeh kaicae ih tamna ah om oh loe, kaicae ih tok to sah oh, tiah a naa.
10 The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
Philistin kami mah, Vaihniah Israel misatuh angraengnawk hoi angtuk hanah ka kawk, kami maeto mah na patoeh oh, anih hoiah kang tuk hoi han, tiah a naa.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Philistin kami ih lok to Saul hoi Israel kaminawk mah thaih o naah, palungboeng o moe, a zit o.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
Judah prae Bethlehem vangpui ah kaom, Ephrathah kami David ampa Jesse loe, capa tazetto sak; anih ih saningcoeh capa thumtonawk loe Saul ih misatuh kami ah oh o.
13 The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
Jesse capa kacoeh thumtonawk loe misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah Saul hnukah bang o; misatuk naah kacaeh anih capa thumtonawk loe, a calu Eliab, hnetto haih capa Abinadab hoi thumto haih capa Shammah cae hae ni.
14 David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
David loe capa asoi ah oh; a capa kacoeh thumtonawk loe Saul hnukah bang o.
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Toe David loe Saul khae hoi Bethlehem ah ampa ih tuu toep hanah caeh.
16 The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Philistin kami mah ni quipalito thung, aduem akhawn tacawt moe, hang thuih.
17 Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
Jesse mah a caa David khaeah, Hae ah kaom daengh tangcae cang Ephah maeto hoi takaw kae hato sinh loe, namyanawk ataihaih ahmuen ah karangah thak paeh.
18 and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
Maitaw tahnutui kamkhawk hato doeh misatuh sangto ukkung angraeng hanah sin paeh; namyanawk ngantui o maw, tiah khenah loe, nihcae ngantui o, tiah amtuenghaih hmuen maeto na sin ah.
19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Namyanawk hoi Israel kaminawk loe, Saul khaeah oh o boih moe, Elah azawn ah Philistinawk tuk hanah atai o, tiah a naa.
20 So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
David loe khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, angmah ih tuunawk to tuutoep kami maeto khaeah aap, Jesse mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hmuenmaenawk to lak pacoengah, a caeh. Anih loe misatuh kaminawk misatuk han hang o li naah phak.
21 And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
Israel misatuh kaminawk hoi Philistin misatuh kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto misa angtuk hanah amsak o.
22 And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
David loe angmah ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae pakuemkung khaeah caehtaak, misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah a cawnh moe, amyanawk to ban sinh.
23 As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
Nihcae hoi lokthuih o li naah, khenah, Gath ah kaom Philistin kaminawk thungah thacak koek, Goliath, tiah ahmin kaom kami loe Philistin misatuh kaminawk hmaa ah tacawt moe, a thuih zong ih lok baktih toengah, kami hnaphaih hoiah hangh let bae; anih hanghaih lok to David mah thaih.
24 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
Israel kaminawk mah to kami to hnuk o naah, paroeai zit o moe, cawnh o taak boih.
25 The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt in Israel."
Israel kaminawk mah, Hmaa bangah angzo hae kami hae na hnuk o maw? Israel kaminawk hnaphnaehaih hoiah ni angzoh; anih hum thaih kami loe siangpahrang mah pop parai tangqum to paek tih; a canu doeh zu ah paek ueloe, ampa ih imthung takoh boih doeh Israel prae thungah tamut conghaih loisak tih, tiah a naa o.
26 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
To naah David mah anih taengah angdoe kaminawk khaeah, Aicae Israel kaminawk hnaphnae hae Philistin kami hum kami loe timaw hnu tih? Kahing Sithaw ih misatuh kaminawk hnaphnae, tangyat hin aat ai hae Philistin kami loe mi aa? tiah a naa.
27 The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
To naah kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Anih hum thaih kami loe, to tiah sah pae tih, tiah a naa o.
28 Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
David loe kaminawk hoiah lok apaeh, tiah amya kacoeh koek Eliab mah hnuk naah, David nuiah palungphui moe, anih khaeah, Tih sak hanah hae ah nang zoh loe? Zetta kaom tuu to mi khaeah maw na caeh taak? Nam oekhaih hoi poeksethaih to ka panoek; misatuk khet hanih ni hae ah nang zoh tathuk, tiah a naa.
29 David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
David mah, Timaw ka sak pazae moeng boeh? Vaihi lok ka thui thai mak ai maw? tiah a naa.
30 Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
To pacoengah kami maeto khaeah angqoi moe, to hmuen kawng to a thui let bae; to ih kaminawk mah a thuih pae tangcae lok to a thuih pae o let.
31 When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
David mah thuih ih lok to nihcae mah thaih o naah, Saul khaeah thuih pae o; to pongah Saul mah anih to kawksak.
32 David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
David mah Saul khaeah, Mi kawbaktih doeh hae Philistin kami pongah palugboeng hmah nasoe; na tamna kai ka caeh moe, anih to ka tuk han, tiah a naa.
33 Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
Saul mah David khaeah, To Philistin kami tuk hanah na caeh thai tang mak ai; nang loe saning na nawk vop; anih loe nawkta nathuem hoi kamtong misatuh zong kami ah oh boeh, tiah a naa.
34 David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
Toe David mah Saul khaeah, Na tamna kai loe pa ih tuu to ka toep pae; to naah kaipui hoi taqomnawk angzoh o moe, tuu takha thung ih tuunawk to kaek o naah,
35 I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
a hnukah ka patom moe, ka hum pacoengah pakha thung ih tuu to ka pahlong; kai ang hmang naah, a sam ah ka naeh moe, ka boh pacoengah, ka hum.
36 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies of the living God?
Na tamna kai loe kaipui doeh, taqom doeh ka hum boeh; hae tangyat hin aat ai Philistin kami doeh, kahing Sithaw ih misatuh kaminawk to a hnaphnae pongah, to tiah ni om toeng tih.
37 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." Saul said to David, "Go; and the LORD shall be with you."
Kaipui hoi taqom ban thung hoiah kai pahlongkung, Angraeng loe Philistin kaminawk ban thung hoiah doeh na pahlong let tih, tiah a naa. Saul mah David khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe, Caeh ah, na taengah Angraeng om nasoe, tiah a naa.
38 And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
To pacoengah Saul mah David to angmah ih misa angvaenghaih aphaw to angkhuksak; misatukhaih khok padaphaih to abuensak moe, sumkamling lumuek to angmueksak.
39 And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off him.
David loe a khukbuen nuiah sumsen to pathlet; caeh han tha pathok, toe to baktih hmuennawk to angkhuk vai ai pongah hnaep ai. David mah Saul khaeah, Kang khuk zong ai pongah, ka caeh thai ai, tiah a naa. To pongah David mah aphaw to angkhring ving.
40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
A ban ah cunghet to sinh, vacong ih palang thlung pangato a khuih moe, tuu toep naah avak ih pasah thungah pacaeng; a ban ah ngazai to sinh moe, Philistin kami to a hmaang.
41 So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of him.
To naah Philistin kami loe David khaeah anghnai aep aep, Philistin kami ih aphaw phawkung to anih hmaa ah a caehsak.
42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
Philistin kami mah khet naah, David ih ngan loe amling hup moe, kranghoih, nawkta ah a hnuk pongah, anih to patoek.
43 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
David khaeah, Kai loe ui ah maw nang poek moe, cunghet hoiah nang hmaang loe? tiah a naa. Philistin kami mah David to angmah ih sithaw hmin hoiah tangoeng.
44 The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
Anih mah David khaeah, Hae ah angzo ah, na ngan to van ih tavanawk hoi taw ih moinawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah a naa.
45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
David mah Philistin kami khaeah, Kai tuk hanah sumsen, tayae, aphaw hoiah nang zoh; toe kai loe na patoek ih misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel misatuh kaminawk ih Sithaw hmin hoiah ni nang tuk hanah kang zoh.
46 Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
Vaihniah Angraeng mah nang hae ka ban ah paek tih; nang to kang hum moe, na tahnong to kang takroek pae pat han; vaihniah Philistin misatuh kaminawk ih qok to van ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moinawk khaeah ka paek han, to tiah ni Israel kaminawk khaeah Sithaw oh, tiah long pum mah panoek tih.
47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
Tayae hoi sumsen hoiah misatuh kami to Angraeng mah pahlong ai, tiah hae ah amkhueng kaminawk boih mah panoek o tih; misatukhaih loe Angraeng ih ni, to pongah anih mah nangcae boih kaicae ban ah paek tih, tiah a naa.
48 It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Philistin kami mah David to naeh hanah angthawk moe, a taengah anghnai pae aep aep; to naah David mah Philistin kaminawk khaeah karangah cawnh.
49 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
Angmah ih pasah to tapawh tathuk moe, palang thlung maeto a lak pacoengah, Philistin kami to lu pataeh ah zai phaek; to naah anih to long ah cangku hmawk.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
David loe a ban ah sumsen to sin ai, Philistin kami to ngazai hoi palang thlung hoiah misatuk moe, pazawk.
51 Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
David loe cawnh moe, anih ih tak nuiah angdoet; Philistin kami ih sumsen to a suekhaih tabu thung hoiah aphongh moe, a hum pacoengah, anih ih tahnong to takroek pat. Angmacae thung ih thacak koek kami loe duek boeh, tiah Philistin kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, hnuk angnawn o moe, cawnh o.
52 The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
To pacoengah loe Israel hoi Judah kaminawk hmabang ah tacawt o moe, hanghaih hoiah Philistin kaminawk to azawn hoi Ekron khongkha khoek to patom o. Ahmaa kacaa kaminawk loe Sharaim vangpui, Gath vangpui hoi Ekron vangpui azawn caehhaih loklam khoek to a duek o.
53 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Philistin kaminawk patomhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem o naah, Israel kaminawk mah, nihcae ataihaih im to muk pae o.
54 David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
David mah Philistin kami ih lu to lak moe, Jerusalem ah sinh; Philistin kami ih misatukhaih hmuen to angmah ih kahni im ah a suek.
55 When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
David mah Philistin kaminawk tuk hanah hmaang, tiah Saul mah hnuk naah, misatuh ukkung angraeng Abner khaeah, Hae thendoeng loe mi ih capa maw? tiah a naa. Abner mah, Nang na hing baktih toengah, aw siangpahrang, ka thui thai ai, tiah a naa.
56 The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
Siangpahrang mah, Mi ih capa maw, tiah panoek han dueng ah, tiah a naa.
57 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.
Philistin kami humhaih ahmuen hoiah David amlaem pacoengah, Abner mah anih to kawk moe, Saul khaeah caeh haih, to naah David mah Philistin kami ih lu to a ban ah sinh vop.
58 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
Saul mah, Thendoeng, nang loe mi ih capa aa? tiah a dueng. David mah, Kai loe Bethlehem vangpui ah kaom na tamna Jesse ih capa ni, tiah a naa.
