I Samuela 17
1 HOAKOAKOA ae la ko Pilisetia i ko lakou poe kaua e kaua mai, a ua houluuluia lakou ma Soko, no Iuda, a hoomoana iho la mawaena o Soko a me Azeka, ma Epesa-damima.
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
2 A akoakoa o Saula a me na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma ke awawa o Ela, a hooponopono i ke kaua e ku e i ko Pilisetia.
Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
3 Ku ae la ko Pilisetia maluna o ka puu ma kekahi aoao, a ku ae la hoi ka Iseraela maluna o ka puu ma kekahi aoao: a o ke awawa iwaena o lakou.
The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
4 A puka mai la kekahi kanaka koa no ka poe o ko Pilisetia, o Golia kona inoa no Gata, o kona kiekie hookahi ia anana a me na kapuwai eha.
Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
5 A he mahiole keleawe ma kona poo, a he pale umauma unahe kona, a o ke kaumaha o ia pale umauma, elima tausani sekela keleawe.
and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
6 A he mau pale keleawe ma kona wawae, a he pale keleawe mawaena o kona mau poohiwi.
and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
7 A o ke au o kana ihe, ua like ia me ka laau o ka mea hana lole, a o ka pahi o kana ihe, he aono haneri sekela hao, ma ke kaupaona: a hele kekahi kanaka imua ona e hali ana i ka pale kaua.
The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
8 Ku ae la ia a kahea mai la i ka poe kaua o ka Iseraela, i mai la ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i hele mai ai e hooponopono i ke kaua? Aole anei wau he Pilisetia, a o oukou he poe kauwa na Saula? e wae oukou i kekahi kanaka no oukou, a e iho mai ia io'u nei.
And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
9 Ina e hiki ia ia ke kaua pu me au, a make au ia ia, alaila e lilo makou i kauwa na oukou; aka, i lanakila au maluna ona, a make ia ia'u, alaila e lilo oukou i kauwa na makou, a e hookauwa mai oukou na makou.
If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
10 I mai la ua kanaka la no ko Pilisetia, Ke aa aku nei au i ka poe kaua o ka Iseraela i keia la; e ho mai oukou i kekahi kanaka i hoa kaua no'u.
Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
11 A lohe ae la o Saula a me ka Iseraela a pau i ka olelo a ke kanaka no ko Pilisetia, weliweli lakou, a makau loa iho la.
On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12 A o Davida, oia ke keiki a ua kanaka la no Eperata no Betelehema o Iuda, o Iese kona inoa; a ewalu ana keiki: a i ka wa ia Saula, ua elemakule ia iwaena o kanaka.
Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
13 A o na keiki mua ekolu a Iese hele lakou mamuli o Saula i ke kaua: a o ka inoa o na keiki ekolu i hele i ke kaua, o Eliaba ka hanau mua, a mahope mai ona, o Abinadaba, a o Sama ke kolu.
The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
14 A o Davida ka pokii: a hahai aku la na keiki mua ekolu mahope o Saula.
And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
15 Aka, o Davida, hele aku la ia a hoi hou ae mai o Saula mai e malama i na hipa o kona makuakane ma Betelehema.
but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
16 A hookokoke mai no ua kanaka Pilisetia la i kakahiaka a me ke ahiahi, a hoike mai ia ia iho i na la he kanaha.
For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
17 I aku la o Iese ia Davida i kana keiki, Ano e lawe aku oe na kou mau hoahanau i hookahi epa o keia ai i pulehuia, a i keia mau pai palaoa he umi, a e holo i kou mau hoahanau ma kahi i hoomoana'i i ke kaua.
One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
18 A e lawe oe i keia mau pai waiupaa he umi na ka lunatausani, a e ike oe i ka pono o kou mau hoahanau, a e lawe mai i ko lakou mea hooiaio.
Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
19 A o Saula, o lakou, a me na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, aia no ma ke awawa o Ela, e kaua ana i ko Pilisetia.
They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Ala ae la o Davida i kakahiaka nui, a waiho i na hipa me ke kahu, a lawe ae la a hele aku e like me ka Iese i kauoha mai ai ia ia; a hiki aku ia ma kahi o na kaa, a e hele ana ka poe koa i ke kaua, a uwo lakou i ke kaua.
So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
21 A ua hoouka aku ka Iseraela a me ko Pilisetia i ke kaua, o kekahi kaua ma ke alo o kekahi kaua.
And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
22 A waiho aku la o Davida i na mea mai ona aku la ma ka lima o ka mea malama ia mea, a holo aku la i ke kaua, a hele e ninau i ka pono o kona mau hoahanau.
Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
23 Ia ia i kamailio ai me lakou, aia hoi, pii mai la ua kanaka koa la, no ko Pilisetia, o Golia kona inoa no Gata, mai ka poe kaua o ko Pilisetia mai, a olelo mai e like me kela olelo: a lohe o Davida.
And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
24 A o na kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a ike aku la lakou ia ia, holo lakou mai kona maka aku, a makau nui iho la.
When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
25 I mai la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, Ua ike anei oukou ia kanaka i pii mai ai? no ka mea, ua pii mai ia e aa i ka Iseraela: a o ke kanaka e pepehi ia ia, e hoolako mai ke alii ia ia i ka waiwai nui, a e haawi mai hoi i kana kaikamahine nana, a e hookaawale ae ia i ka hale o kona makuakane iwaena o ka Iseraela, aole e hookupu.
Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
26 Olelo aku la o Davida i na kanaka e ku pu ana me ia, i aku la, Heaha ka mea e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka, nana e pepehi keia kanaka Pilisetia, a e lawe aku i ka hoino mai ka Iseraela aku? owai la keia Pilisetia i okipoepoe ole ia, i aa mai ai ia i ka poe kaua o ke Akua ola?
David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 Olelo mai la na kanaka ia ia peneia, i mai la, Pela no e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka, nana ia e pepehi.
The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 A lohe ae la o Eliaba kona kaikuaana i kana olelo ana'ku i na kanaka; a ua hoaia ka inaina o Eliaba ia Davida, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i hele mai ia nei? me wai la oe i waiho ai i hela poe hipa uuku ma ka waonahele? Ua ike au i kou haaheo, a me ka hewa o kou naau; no ka mea, ua hele mai oe e ike i ke kaua.
Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
29 I aku la o Davida, Heaha ka'u i hana'i ano? Aole anei he kumu?
“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
30 Huli ae la ia mai ona aku la i kekahi e ae, a olelo aku la e like me kela olelo; a i mai la na kanaka e like me mamua.
Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
31 A loheia na olelo a Davida i olelo ai, hai aku la lakou imua o Saula; a kii aku la oia ia ia.
Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
32 I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Mai hookaumahaia ka naau o kekahi kanaka nona; e hele no kau kauwa e kaua pu me ua kanaka Pilisetia la.
And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
33 I mai la o Saula ia Davida, Aole e hiki ia oe ke hele ku e i keia kanaka Pilisetia, e kaua pu me ia: no ka mea, he opiopio oe, aka oia, he kanaka koa ia mai kona wa opiopio mai.
But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 I aku la o Davida ia Saula, Ua malama kau kauwa i na hipa o kona makuakane, a hele mai la ka liona, a me ka bea, a lawe aku i kekahi keikihipa no ka poe hipa.
David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
35 Hahai aku la au ia ia, a pepehi ia ia, a hoopakele ia mea mai kona waha mai; a i kona ku e mai ia'u, lalau aku la au i kona umiumi, a pepehi iho la ia ia, a make ia ia'u.
I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
36 A o ka liona a me ka bea, ua make laua a elua i kau kauwa: a o keia Pilisetia okipoepoe ole ia, e like auanei ia me kekahi o laua, no kona aa ana i ka poe kaua o ke Akua ola.
Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37 I aku la hoi o Davida, O Iehova, ka mea nana au i hoopakele mai ka wawae aku o ka liona, a mai ka wawae aku o ka bea, nana no au e hoopakele mai ka lima aku o keia kanaka Pilisetia. I mai la o Saula ia Davida, O hele, o Iehova pu kekahi me oe.
David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
38 Hoaahu aku la o Saula ia Davida i kona aahu kaua, a kau aku la i ka mahiole keleawe ma kona poo, a hookomo ia ia i ka puliki koa.
Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
39 Kaei iho la o Davida i kana pahikaua maluna o na mea kaua, a manao iho la e hele; aka, no ka hoao ole ia, i aku la o Davida ia Saula, Aole au e hiki ke hele me keia mau mea; no ka mea, aole au i hoao. Kala ae la o Davida ia mau mea mai ona aku la.
David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
40 Lawe aku la ia i kona kookoo ma kona lima, ohi iho la ia i na ala elima no ke kahawai, a hahao iloko o ke kieko kahuhipa nona, a iloko o ka aa; a ma kona lima kana maa: a hookokoke aku la ia i ke kanaka Pilisetia.
And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
41 A hele mai ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hookokoke mai ia Davida, a imua ona ke kanaka nana i hali ka palekaua.
Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
42 Nana ae la ke kanaka Pilisetia, a ike mai la ia Davida, hoowahawaha mai la ia ia; no ka mea, he opiopio oia, a he ehu, a maikai ke nana aku.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
43 I mai la ke kanaka Pilisetia ia Davida, He ilio anei wau, i hele mai oe io'u nei me ke kookoo? A hoino mai la ke kanaka Pilisetia ia Davida ma kona mau akua.
“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 I mai la ka Pilisetia ia Davida, E hele mai io'u nei, a e haawi aku au i kou io i na manu o ka lewa, a me na holoholona o ke kula.
“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45 I aku la o Davida i ka Pilisetia, Ke hele mai la oe io'u nei me ka pahikaua, a me ka ihe, a me ka palekaua: aka owau, ke hele aku nei au iou la ma ka inoa o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ko Iseraela poe kaua au i aa mai ai.
But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 I keia la, e haawi mai o Iehova ia oe iloko o kuu lima, a e pepehi aku au ia oe, a e lawe aku au i kou poo mai ou aku la; a e haawi aku au i keia la i na kupapau o ko Pilisetia poe kaua na na manu o ka lewa, a na na holoholona o ka honua; i ike ai ko ka honua a pau, he Akua no iloko o ka Iseraela.
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 A e ike keia ahakanaka a pau, aole e hoola mai o Iehova me ka pahikaua, a me ka ihe: no ka mea, no Iehova ke kaua, a e haawi mai oia ia oe iloko o ko makou lima.
And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
48 A i ka wa i ku ae ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hele, a hookokoke e halawai me Davida, lalelale iho la o Davida, a holo aku la i ka poe kaua e halawai me ua kanaka Pilisetia la.
As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49 A hou iho la o Davida i kona lima iloko o ka aa, a lawe mai i kekahi ala, a maa aku la, a pa aku la i ka lae o ka Pilisetia, a komo iho la ka ala iloko o kona lae, haule iho la ia ma ka honua ilalo ke alo.
Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 A lanakila o Davida maluna o ka Pilisetia me ka maa a me ka ala, a pepehi aku la i ka Pilisetia, a make ia; aole nae he pahikaua ma ka lima o Davida.
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 A holo aku la o Davida, a ku maluna o ke kanaka Pilisetia, a lalau iho i kana pahikaua, a unuhi ae mai loko mai o kona wahi, a pepehi iho la, a oki aku la i kona poo me ia. A ike ae la ko Pilisetia poe, ua make ko lakou kanaka koa, auhee lakou.
David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
52 Ku ae la na kanaka o ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda, hooho aku la, a alualu i ko Pilisetia, a hiki ma ke awawa, a ma na ipuka o Ekerona: a haule iho la na mea eha o na Pilisetia ma ke ala o Saaraima, a hiki i Gata a me Ekerona.
Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
53 A hoi aku la na mamo a Iseraela mai ke alualu ana i ko Pilisetia, a hao ae la i na halelewa o lakou.
When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
54 Lawe o Davida i ke poo o ke kanaka Pilisetia, a hali aku la ia mea ma Ierusalema, a waiho aku la ia i kana mea kaua ma kona halelewa.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55 A ike aku la o Saula i ko Davida hele ana e halawai me ke kanaka Pilisetia, ninau aku la oia ia Abenera, i ka luna o ke kaua, E Abenera e, he keiki nawai keia kanaka opiopio? I mai la o Abenera, Ma ke ola o kou uhane, e ke alii, aole au i ike.
As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
56 I aku la ke alii, E ninau aku oe i ka mea nana keia kanaka opiopio.
“Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
57 A i ko Davida hoi ana, mai ka pepehi ana i ke kanaka no ko Pilisetia, lawe aku la o Abenera ia ia, a alakai aku la ia ia imua o Saula, me ke poo o ke kanaka Pilisetia ma kona lima.
So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
58 Ninau aku la o Saula, E ke kanaka opiopio, he keiki oe nawai? I mai la o Davida, He keiki au na kau kauwa, na Iese no Betelehema.
“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
