And he heard Saul and all Israel [the] words of the Philistine these and they were dismayed and they were afraid exceedingly.
12 Ma Devid bụ nwa Jesi, onye Efrat nke Betlehem dị na Juda. Jesi mụtara ndị ikom asatọ. Nʼoge nke Sọl, ọ ghọọla agadi nwoke.
And David [was] a son of a man an Ephrathite this from Beth-lehem Judah and name his [was] Jesse and [belonged] to him eight sons and the man in [the] days of Saul he was old he had gone among men.

And he drew near the Philistine rising early and [the] evening darkened and he took his stand forty day[s].
17 Otu ụbọchị, Jesi gwara Devid okwu sị, “Bịa ka i wegara ụmụnne gị otu akpa ọka ndị a e ghere eghe. Chịrịkwa ogbe achịcha iri ndị a chịlara ha.

And Saul and they and every man of Israel [are] in [the] valley of Elah fighting with [the] Philistines.

And he rose early David in the morning and he left the flock with a watchman and he lifted up and he went just as he had commanded him Jesse and he came the camp towards and the army which was going out to the battle line and they shouted a war cry in the battle.
21 Ndị Izrel na ndị Filistia dokwara onwe ha nʼusoro izute onwe ha nʼagha, ndị agha megide ndị agha.
And it deployed Israel and [the] Philistines battle line to meet battle line.
22 Devid hapụrụ ihe ndị ahụ nʼaka onye na-elekọta akpa niile, gbara ọsọ gaa nʼusoro ndị agha jụọ ụmụnne ya banyere udo ha.
And he left David the baggage from with him on [the] hand of [the] keeper of the baggage and he ran the battle line and he came and he asked of brothers his to welfare.
23 Ma mgbe ha na ya nọ na-akparịta ụka, onye mmeri nʼọgbọ agha, onye Filistia nke Gat, Golaịat bụ aha ya, sitere nʼusoro ndị agha Filistia pụta, kwuokwa okwu niile ahụ dịka ọ na-ekwu na mbụ. Devid nụrụ ihe o kwuru.
And he - [was] speaking with them and there! [the] man of the champions [was] coming up [was] Goliath the Philistine name his from Gath (from [the] battle lines of *Q(K)*) [the] Philistines and he spoke according to the words these and he heard David.
24 Mgbe ndị Izrel niile hụrụ nwoke a, ha gbara ọsọ pụọ nʼihu ya ma tụọkwa oke egwu.
And every man of Israel when saw they the man and they fled from before him and they were afraid exceedingly.
25 Ndị Izrel sịrị, “Unu hụrụ nwoke a na-eguzo onwe ya? Ọ bụ ka ọ kparịa nnọọ ndị Izrel ka o ji apụta? Eze kwere nkwa inye onye ọbụla ga-etigbu ya akụ nʼebe ọ bara ụba. Ọ ga-akpọnyekwa ya nwa ya nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya, meekwa ka ndị ezinaụlọ onye ahụ gharakwa ịtụ ụtụ taks ọzọ nʼIzrel!”
And he said - [the] man of Israel ¿ have you seen the man who comes up this for to defy Israel [he is] coming up and it will be the man who he will strike down him he will make rich him the king - rich[es] great and daughter his he will give to him and [the] house of father his he will make free in Israel.
26 Devid jụrụ ndị ikom nọ ya nso, “Gịnị ka a ga-emere nwoke ga-etigbu onye Filistia a, meekwa ka mkparị a ghara ịdịrị Izrel ọzọ? Onye ka onye Filistia a a na-ebighị ugwu bụ, na ọ ga-apụta na-akparị ndị agha Chineke dị ndụ?”
And he said David to the men who were standing with him saying what? will it be done for the man who he will strike down the Philistine this and he will remove reproach from on Israel that who? [is] the Philistine uncircumcised this that he has defied [the] battle lines of God living.
27 Ha gwara ya otu ihe ahụ ha kwuru na mbụ sị ya na ọ bụ ihe ahụ ka a ga-emere onye gburu ya.
And it said to him the people according to the manner this saying thus it will be done for the man who he will strike down him.
28 Mgbe Eliab, nwanne Devid nke okenye, nụrụ ka ya na ndị ikom ahụ na-ekwu okwu, o were iwe dị ọkụ megide ya, jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị bịara ime nʼebe a? Onye kwa ka ị hapụrụ atụrụ ole na ole ndị ahụ nʼọzara? Amaara m ụdị nganga dị nʼime gị na echiche ọjọọ juru gị obi. Ihe ị ji bịa nʼebe a bụ naanị ka ịhụchata ihe na-eme nʼagha.”
And he heard Eliab brother his old when spoke he to the men and it burned [the] anger of Eliab on David and he said - why? this have you come down and with whom? have you left [the] fewness of the sheep those in the wilderness I I know arrogance your and [the] wickedness of heart your that so as to see the battle you have come down.
29 Ma Devid zara sị ya, “Oleekwanụ ihe m mere ugbu a? Adara m iwu nʼihi na m jụrụ ajụjụ?”
And he said David what? have I done now ¿ not a word [was] it.
30 Devid chigharịkwara jekwuru onye ọzọ jụọkwa ya otu ajụjụ ahụ. Ọ natakwara otu ụdị ọsịsa ahụ.
And he turned away from beside him to [the] front of another [person] and he said according to the manner this and they brought back him the people word according to the word the former.
31 Nʼikpeazụ, mgbe a matara ihe bụ uche Devid, e mere ka Sọl mara ihe banyere Devid. Sọl zikwara ozi ka a kpọọ ya.
And they were heard the words which he spoke David and people told before Saul and he sent for him.
32 Devid sịrị Sọl, “Ka obi onye ọbụla ghara ịda mba nʼihi onye Filistia a; ohu gị ga-aga lụso ya ọgụ.”
And he said David to Saul may not it fall [the] heart of anyone on him servant your he will go and he will fight with the Philistine this.
33 Ma Sọl zaghachiri, “Ị pụghị ibuso onye Filistia a agha, megide ya, nʼihi na i bụ naanị nwantakịrị, ma ya onwe ya bu onye na-ebu agha siterị na mgbe ọ bụ okorobịa.”
And he said Saul to David not you will be able to go against the Philistine this to fight with him for [are] a youth you and he [is] a man of war since youth his.
34 Ma Devid gwara Sọl sị, “Ohu gị bụ onye na-elekọta atụrụ nna ya. Mgbe ọdụm maọbụ anụ ọhịa bịa bịara buru atụrụ site nʼigwe atụrụ ahụ,
And he said David to Saul shepherding he was servant your for father his the flock and it came the lion and with the bear and it carried off a sheep from the flock.
35 achụụrụ m ya, tigbuo ya ma napụtakwa atụrụ ahụ site nʼọnụ ya. Mgbe o biliri imegide m, ejidere m ya nʼajị ya, tie ya ihe, gbuo ya.
And I went out after it and I struck it and I rescued [it] from mouth its and it rose up on me and I took hold on beard its and I struck it and I killed it.
36 Etigburu m ọdụm na anụ ọhịa bịa ahụ, ugbu a, apụkwara m ime onye Filistia a na-amaghị Chineke otu ihe ahụ, nʼihi na ọ kparịala usuu ndị agha Chineke dị ndụ!
Both the lion as well as the bear he has struck down servant your and he will be the Philistine uncircumcised this like one from them for he has defied [the] battle lines of God living.
37 Onyenwe anyị ahụ napụtara m site nʼaka ọdụm na anụ ọhịa bịa ga-anapụtakwa m site nʼaka onye Filistia a!” Nʼikpeazụ, Sọl sịrị Devid, “Gaa, ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere gị.”
And he said David Yahweh who he delivered me from [the] hand of the lion and from [the] hand of the bear he he will deliver me from [the] hand of the Philistine this. And he said Saul to David go and Yahweh he will be with you.
38 Mgbe ahụ, Sọl yinyere Devid uwe ime ahụ nke ya, yikwasịkwa ya uwe agha igwe, ma kpukwasị ya okpu bronz nʼisi.
And he clothed Saul David garments his and he put a helmet of bronze on head his and he clothed him body armor.
39 Devid fanyere mma agha nʼime uwe ahụ, malite ijegharị ije, nʼihi na ọ maghị otu e si eyi uwe ndị ahụ ejegharị. Ọ dịghị anya, o gwara Sọl okwu sị, “Agaghị m eyi uwe ndị a nʼihi na o doghị m ahụ.” Ya mere, Devid yipụrụ ha.
And he girded David sword his over garments his and he fell short to walk for not he had put to [the] test and he said David to Saul not I will be able to walk in these [things] for not I have put to [the] test and he removed them David from on himself.
40 Emesịa, o were mkpanaka ya nʼaka ya, site nʼiyi họpụta nkume ise dị mụrụmụrụ tinye ha nʼakpa nta dị nʼime akpa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ya. O jidere ebe ya nʼaka ya, malite ịpụkwuru onye Filistia ahụ.
And he took stick his in hand his and he chose for himself five smooth [ones] of stones - from the wadi and he put them in [the] bag of shepherds which [belonged] to him and in the pouch and sling his [was] in hand his and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 Onye Filistia ahụ, na-abịa nso na-apụkwute Devid, onye ahụ na-ebu ọta ya na-agakwa nʼihu ya.
And he came the Philistine coming and approaching to David and the man [the] bearer of the body shield [was] before him.
42 O lere Devid anya hụ na ọ bụ naanị nwantakịrị nwoke, onye ahụ dị mma, onye mara mma ile anya. Nʼihi ya, o ledara Devid anya.
And he looked the Philistine and he saw David and he despised him for he was a youth and red with handsome of appearance.
43 Ọ sịrị Devid, “Abụ m nkịta, na i ji mkpanaka na-abịakwute m?” Onye Filistia ahụ ji aha chi niile ya bụọ Devid ọnụ.
And he said the Philistine to David ¿ a dog [am] I that you [are] coming against me with sticks and he cursed the Philistine David by gods his.
44 Ọ sịrị, “Bịa nʼebe a ka m were anụ ahụ gị mere anụ ufe nke eluigwe na anụ ọhịa niile ihe oriri!”
And he said the Philistine to David come! to me so let me give flesh your to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the field.
45 Ma Devid sịrị onye Filistia ahụ, “I ji mma agha na ùbe igwe na ùbe osisi, na-abịakwute m, ma eji m aha Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke nke usuu ndị agha Izrel ahụ ị kparịrị, na-abịakwute gị.
And he said David to the Philistine you [are] coming against me with sword and with spear and with javelin and I [am] coming against you in [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of [the] battle lines of Israel whom you have defied.
46 Taa ka Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe gị nʼaka m. Aga m etigbu gị, bepụkwa gị isi. Taa aga m ewere anụ ahụ ndị agha Filistia niile nyefee nʼaka ụmụ anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile nke ụwa. Ụwa niile ga-amatakwa na Chineke nọ nʼIzrel.
The day this he will deliver up you Yahweh in hand my and I will strike down you and I will remove head your from on you and I will give [the] corpse[s] of [the] army of [the] Philistines the day this to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the earth so they may know all the earth that there a God [belongs] to Israel.
47 Ndị niile guzokwa nʼebe a ga-amata na Onyenwe anyị adịghị eji mma agha maọbụ ùbe azọpụta. Nʼihi na agha a bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-ewerekwa unu niile nyefee anyị nʼaka.”
So they may know all the assembly this that not by sword and by spear he saves Yahweh for [belongs] to Yahweh the battle and he will give you in hand our.
48 Mgbe onye Filistia ahụ na-abịa nso ibuso ya agha, Devid jiri ọsọ gbara gaa nʼihu agha izute ya.
And it was that he arose the Philistine and he came and he drew near to meet David and he hurried David and he ran the battle line to meet the Philistine.
49 Ọ manyere aka nʼime akpa ya wepụta otu nkume, maa ya mata onye Filistia ahụ nʼegedege ihu. Nkume ahụ mikpuru nʼegedege ihu ya, ọ dakwara kpuo ihu nʼala.
And he sent David hand his into the bag and he took from there a stone and he slung [it] and he struck the Philistine to forehead his and it sank the stone in forehead his and he fell on face his [the] ground towards.
50 Otu a ka Devid si jiri ebe na nkume merie onye Filistia ahụ. O gburu onye Filistia ahụ ma o jighị mma ọbụla nʼaka ya gbuo ya.
And he was strong David more than the Philistine with the sling and with the stone and he struck down the Philistine and he killed him and [was] a sword there not in [the] hand of David.
51 Devid gbaara ọsọ jeruo nʼebe Golaịat dara, mịịrị mma agha ya site nʼọbọ, jiri ya gbuo ya. O ji ya bepụkwa isi ya! Mgbe ndị Filistia hụrụ na onye ọka agha ha adaala nwụọ, ha tụgharịrị gbawa ọsọ.
And he ran David and he stood to the Philistine and he took sword his and he drew out it from sheath its and he killed him and he cut off with it head his and they saw the Philistines that he had died mighty [man] their and they fled.
52 Mgbe ahụ, ndị agha Izrel na Juda tiri mkpu ọṅụ, biliekwa, malite ịchụ ndị Filistia ọsọ. Ha chụrụ ha ọsọ chụruo ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Gat, na nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Ekrọn. Ndị Filistia nwụrụ anwụ dara nnọọ aghara aghara nʼụzọ Shaaraim nke gawara Gat na Ekrọn.
And they arose [the] men of Israel and Judah and they shouted a war cry and they pursued the Philistines until coming you [to] Gath and to [the] gates of Ekron and they fell [those] slain of [the] Philistines on [the] way of Shaaraim and to Gath and to Ekron.
53 Emesịa, ndị Izrel lọghachiri bịa kwakọrọ ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia, nke ha hapụrụ gbaa ọsọ.
And they returned [the] people of Israel from hotly pursuing after [the] Philistines and they plundered camps their.
54 Devid buuru isi onye Filistia bulata na Jerusalem. Ma dobe ngwa agha onye Filistia ahụ nʼime ụlọ ikwu nke ya.
And he took David [the] head of the Philistine and he brought it Jerusalem and weapons his he put in own tent his.
55 Mgbe Sọl nọ na-ele Devid anya ka ọ na-apụ izute onye Filistia ahụ, ọ sịrị Abna, ọchịagha ya, “Abna, nwa onye ka nwokorobịa ahụ bụ?” Abna zara sị, “Dịka i si adị ndụ, eze, amaghị m.”
And just as saw Saul David going out to meet the Philistine he said to Abner [the] commander of the army son of whom? this [is] the youth O Abner and he said Abner [by] [the] life of self your O king if I knew.
56 Eze zara sị, “Chọpụta onye mụrụ nwokorobịa a.”
And he said the king ask you son of whom? this [is] the youth.
57 Mgbe Devid si nʼigbu onye Filistia ahụ lọghachi, Abna duuru ya, dute ya nʼihu Sọl. Isi onye Filistia a dịkwa nʼaka Devid.
And just as returned David from striking down the Philistine and he took him Abner and he brought him before Saul and [the] head of the Philistine [was] in hand his.
58 Sọl jụrụ ya sị, “Nwokorobịa, nwa onye ka ị bụ?” Devid zara sị, “Abụ m nwa ohu gị nwoke Jesi onye Betlehem.”
And he said to him Saul son of whom? [are] you O youth and he said David [the] son of servant your Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite.
