1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, —and they encamped between Socoh 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, gathered themselves together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the army 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, were standing near the hill on one side, and, the Israelites, were standing near the hill on the other side, —while, the valley, was 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 came forth a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath, his name, from Gath, —his height, 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 with a helmet of bronze on his head, and, with a scaly coat of mail, was he clad, —the weight of the coat, being five thousand shekels of bronze;
Rahumluhuem a kâmuk teh Bahling angki a kho, hote angki teh rahum shekel 5000 tabang a ri.
6 and, greaves of bronze, on his feet, —and, a javelin of bronze, between his shoulders;
A khokrangan dawk rahum a pada teh a loung hoi a loung rahak rahum tahroe a ka va.
7 and, the shaft of his spear, was like a weaver’s beam, and, the flashing head of his spear, was six hundred shekels of iron, —and, his shield-bearer, was coming on 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 took his stand, and cried unto the ranks of Israel, and said unto them, Wherefore should ye come out, to set in array for battle? Am not, I, a Philistine, while, ye, are servants unto Saul? Choose you a man, and let him come down unto 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 prevail in fighting with me, and smite me, then will we become your servants, —but, if, I, prevail over him, and smite him, then shall ye become 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, reproach the ranks 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 these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and feared exceedingly.
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-judah, whose, name, was Jesse, and, who, had eight sons, —and, the man, in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.
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 had followed Saul to the battle, —and, the names of his three sons who went into the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and, the next to 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 But, as for David, he, 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 whereas, David, kept going and returning from Saul, —to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
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, I pray thee, unto thy brethren—this ephah of parched corn, and these ten loaves, —and run to the camp unto 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 also these ten slices of soft cheese, shalt thou take to the captain of their thousand, —and, as for thy brethren, give good heed to their welfare, their pledge, also shalt thou receive.
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 vale of Elah, ready to fight with the Philistines.
Sawl hoi Isarelnaw teh Elah yawn vah ao awh telah a ti.
20 So then David rose up early in the morning, and entrusted the sheep to a keeper, and took up [the provisions] and went his way, as Jesse had commanded him, —and came into the circular rampart, as, the force, was going forth into the ranks, and shouted for the fight.
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 So Israel and the Philistines set in array for battle, army against army.
Isarel ransanaw hoi Filistin ransanaw teh a kâtuk awh hanelah rek a kâhnai awh.
22 Then David entrusted the provisions that were upon him to the care of the keeper of the stores, and ran unto the ranks, —and came and asked for the welfare of 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 Now, as he was speaking with them, lo! the champion coming up, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, [coming up] out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he spake according to these 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 Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.
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 coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make 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 Then spake David unto the men that were standing by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that shall smite yonder Philistine, and so shall take away reproach from off Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of a 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, according to this word saying, —So, shall it be done to the man that shall smite him.
Tami pueng ni, hete tami ka thet e teh ka dei awh e patetlah sak pouh han telah atipouh awh.
28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, —then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said—Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.
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, now? Was there not, a cause?
Devit ni atu bangmaw ka sak, a lamthung kaawm nahoehmaw telah a ti.
30 Then turned he from him unto another, and said—according to this word, —and the people returned him an answer, like the first.
Ahni koehoi alouklah a kangvawi takhai teh, ouk a dei patetlah bout a dei pouh.
31 And the words which David spake were overheard, —and, when they told them before Saul, he summoned 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 unto Saul, Let not the heart of my lord 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 unto David—Thou art not able to go against this Philistine, to fight with him, —for, a youth, art, thou, but, 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 Then said David unto Saul, Thy servant used to tend his father’s sheep, —and there would come a lion, or a bear, and carry off 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 would go out after him, and smite him, and rescue it out of his mouth, —and, if he rose against me, I would catch him by his beard, and smite him, and slay 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 could slay, either a lion or a bear, —and, this uncircumcised Philistine, shall become, as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of a 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, Yahweh, who hath rescued me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, he, will rescue us out of the hand of this Philistine. Then said Saul unto David—Go! and, Yahweh, will 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 clad David with his own military coat, and set a helmet of bronze upon his head, —and clad 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 above his military coat, but was reluctant to go, for he had not proved them, —so David said unto Saul—I cannot go in 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 Then took he his stick in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the torrent-bed, and put them in the shepherd’s-pouch which he had—even in the wallet, and had his sling in his hand, —and so drew near unto 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 on, and drew near unto David, —and the man carrying the shield was 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 a youth, and ruddy, a stripling of 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 Then said the Philistine unto David, A dog, am, I, that thou art coming unto me, with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David, by his god.
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 unto David, —Come, unto me, that I may give thy flesh to the birds of heaven, 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 unto the Philistine—Thou, art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin, —but, I, am coming unto thee in the name of Yahweh of hosts, God of the ranks of Israel which thou hast reproached.
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 Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth, —that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God;
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 that all this gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save, —for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver you into our hand.
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 near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the ranks 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 thrust his hand into his pouch, and took from thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine, in his forehead, —that the stone sank 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 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine, with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, —but, sword, was there none 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 So David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off, therewith, his head, —and, when the Philistines saw that their hero was slain, 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 Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, —and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as 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 sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, —and plundered their camps.
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 into Jerusalem, —but, his armour, put he into 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 going forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, 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 Then said the king, —Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?
Hottelah Siangpahrang ni hete camo heh api capa maw pacei haw, telah atipouh.
57 And, when David returned from smiting 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 unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy servant Jesse, 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.
