The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
2 Hagi Soli'ene Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Ela agupofi seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'ne'za, Filistia vahera hara huzmante'naku manimpi hu'za vu'naze.
Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
3 Hagi mago agonarera Filistia vahe'mo'za eme otizageno, mago kaziga agonarega Israeli vahe'mo'za eme oti'zageno amu'no zamifina agupo me'ne.
So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
4 Hagi ha'pina agimo marerisa nera Gati nagapinti ne' Goliati'a Filistia vahe seli nonkumapinti atiramino e'ne. Ana nera zaza amo'a 2mitagi 75 sentimita hu'ne.
Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
5 Hagi agra bronsireti tro hu'naza fetori asenirera nentanino, nozame ahehemo'ma hu'neaza hu'za ha' kukena bronsireti tro hu'nazana kna'amo'a 57ni'a kilogremi hu'nea kukena antanine.
He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
6 Hagi amoteti urami'nea aga nona bronsire tro hu'naza nentanino, bronsireti tro hu'naza krugru keve afumpina eri'ne.
He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
7 Hagi ana keve'amofo asana'amo'a kukenama tro'ma nehaza masinimofo zafa'agna higeno, atohe'nea keve agona'amofo kna'amo'a 7 kilogremi hu'ne. Hagi hanko'ama erino vu ne'mo avuga vu'ne.
He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
8 Hagi Goliati'a eme otino anage huno Israeli vahera kezati zami'ne, Tamagra na'ante hara hunakura manimpia huta mani'naze? Tamagra Soli eri'za vahe manizage'na, nagra Filistia sondia ne' mani'noe. Hagi tamagra mago ne' huntenkeno eramino hara nagranena eme hino.
Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
9 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma ha'ma eme hunanteno nahe frisigeta, tagra tamagri kazokzo eri'za vahe umanigahune. Hagi nagrama ana ne'ma ahe frisugeta, tamagra tagri kazokzo eri'za vahe manigahaze.
If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
10 Anante Goliati'a huno, Menina Israeli vahe'mota hara huramante'na ke'za huanki, mago ne' huntenkeno ena, hara ha'mneno!
I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
11 Hagi Soli'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'za anankema nentahi'za, zamagogogu nehu'za tusi kore hu'naze.
When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
12 Hagi Deviti'a Jesi nemofo Efrata nagapinti Betlehemu kumate ne'kino, Judia mopafinti nere. Hagi Jesi'a 8'a mofavre zamante'neankino, agra Soli'ma kini mani'nea knafina ozafare'ne.
David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
13 Hagi Jesina kota 3'a mofavrezaga Eliabuki Abinadapuki Samaki hu'za Filistia vahe'ene ha' hunaku Soli sondia vahe'ene umani'naze.
Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
14 Hagi ana 3'a kota mofavreramimo'za Soli avariri'za hate vu'naze. Hagi Jesi mofavre nagapina Deviti'a henka amitena ne' mani'ne.
David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
15 Hagi Deviti'a Soli eri'zama e'neriretira nefantega Betlehemu vutere nehuno, nefa sipisipia ome kegava hu'ne.
David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
16 Hagi Goliati'a 40'a zagegnafi nanterane kinaganena eme otino Israeli vahe'mo'za mago ne'ma hunte'nageno e'nigeno ha'ma hanakura ke'zankea hutere hu'ne.
For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
17 Hagi mago kna Jesi'a anage huno Devitina asami'ne, Ama 10ni'a kilogremi witi ragama kre hagage hunte'ene, 10ni'a breti kona erinka nempukamo'za sondia vahe'enema seli nonkuma ome ante'za mani'nazarega ame hunka vunka ome zamio.
[One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
18 Hagi eri karagefe amirinena 10ni'a erinenka, sondia vahete kva nemofona ome neminka, nempukamo'za inankna hu'za mani'nafi ome zamagetenka eme nasamio.
And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
19 Hagi zamagra Soli'ene mika Israeli sondia vahe'enena Ela agupofi Filistia vahe ha'huzmante'naku umani'naze.
His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
20 Hagi nanterana Deviti'a otino kegavama hanaza vahe zamazampi sipisipi kevu'a netreno, Jesi'ma asamia kante anteno maka'zana e'nerino vu'ne. Hagi ana seli nonkuma'ma ante'za mani'nare uhanatiana, miko sondia vahe'mo'za ha' ome hunaku rankege hu'za vu'naze.
So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
21 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'ene Filistia sondia vahe'mo'zanena ha'hunaku rugaraga umanimpi emanimpi hu'naze.
The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
22 Hagi Deviti'a fenoma kegava nehia nete nanazama'a ome netreno, ana ha'ma hu'za nehazarega vuno nempu'amokizmi ome hu frufra huzmantenaku vu'ne.
David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
23 Hagi Deviti'a anama nempu a'mozanema keagama ome nehigeno, Gati nagapinti ha'pima agima me'nea Filistia ne' Goliati'a eno ko'ma kema nehiaza huno Israeli sondia vahekura kea eme nehigeno, Deviti'a antahine.
While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
24 Hagi mika Israeli sondia vahe'mo'zama ana ne'ma nege'za, zamagogogu nehu'za atre'za fre'za e'naze.
When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
25 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamagra zamagra hu'za, E'i ne'ma, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri zamarimpa ahenaku'ma eterema nehia ne'ma ahesia ne'mofona kini ne'mo'a rama'a fenozana nemino, mofa'anena aminkeno, a' erintena naga'amo'za takisi zagoa mi'zana osugahaze.
They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
26 Hagi Deviti'a anante oti'naza sondia vahera zamantahigeno, Antu Filistia ne'ma aheno Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri zamagaze nehiazama eritresia nera na'a kini ne'mo'a huntegahie? Hagi oku avufga taga osu Filistia vahe'mo'a mani'nea Anumzamofo sondia vahera huhavizana huontegahie.
David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
27 Hige'za kenona hunte'za, E'ima kasamiza kante anteno, ana ne'ma ahe frisia vahera kini ne'mo'a huntegahie.
They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
28 Hagi ana vahe'enema Deviti'ma kegaga nehigeno nempu'amo Eliabu'ma nentahino'a, tusi arimpa Devitina ahenenteno anage hu'ne, Na'ante amafina e'nane? Iza sipisipi nagara kegava higenka trampina zamatrenka e'nane? Nagra antahi'noe, kefo antahi'zankamo higenka kagra kavufgara ra hunka ha'mofo uruha hunaku amafina e'nane.
But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
29 Higeno Deviti'a kenona hunteno, Nagra amne zamantahinegoanki, na'a hu'noe?
David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
30 Anage nehuno ete rukrahe huno mago'amokizmi ome zamantahigege'za, ko'ma hu'naza kante ante'za ana nanekege asami'naze.
Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
31 Hagi Deviti'ma hu'nea nanekea mago'a vahe'mo'za nentahi'za Solina ome asamizageno, Soli'a vahe huzmanteno ome avreta eho hige'za, vu'za ome avre'za azageno,
Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
32 Deviti'a Solina asamino, Mago vahe'mo'a antu ana Filistia nekura korera osino, nagra eri'za ne'kamo'na hara ome huntegahue.
David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
33 Higeno Soli'a kenona hunteno, Kagra mofavre mani'nanankinka antu ana nera hara ome huontegahane. Agra nehazavema mani'neregati hara huno manino e'nea ne' mani'ne.
Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
34 Anage higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, Nenfa sipisipima kvama hu'na eri'za vahekamo'na mani'nogenoma, sipisipi kevufinti'ma laionimo'o Beamo'ma mago'ma eme avreno nevige'na,
David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
35 rotago hu'na agipinti ome ahena avre'na e'noe. Hagi rukrehe'ma huno nampri'zama hige'na agemazampa azokate vamagi'na azeri'nena ahe fri'noe.
I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
36 Hagi kinimoka nagra laionine beanema ahenoankna hu'na, agoza ano taga osu Filistia nera ahegahue. Na'ankure agra mani'nea Anumzamofo sondia vahe huhavizana hunte'ne.
I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
37 Mago'ane Deviti'a huno, beane laionimofo azampinti'ma nazama hu'nea Ra Anumzamo naza huno antu Filistia ne'mofo azampintira nagu'vazigahie. Anage higeno Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a kagrane manigahianki vuo.
Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
38 Nehuno Soli'a agra'a kukena hunenteno, bronsireti tro hu'naza fetori'a Devitina antaninenteno, ha' kukena hunte'ne.
Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
39 Hagi Deviti'a ana kukena huno onke'neankino, za'za kukenare bainati kazina renenteno, vuno eno huno ke'ne. Hianagi knarera huontegeno Solina asamino, nagra ama'na kukena hu'na onke'noa zanki'na, antanina hara ome osugahue, nehuno Deviti'a ana zantamina zafitre'ne.
David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
40 Anantetira azompa'a enerino, osi kraho timpinti 5fu'a pehe hu'nea haverami ome zogino ku'afi erinerino, azampina kao akrutetima tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza ati'a e'nerino, ana Filistia ne'ma mani'nerega vu'ne.
Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
41 Hagi Goliatina hanko'ama e'neria ne' egota higeno, agra amefi'a Devitintega e'ne.
Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
42 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma Devitima keana, avufgamo'a knare huno masamasa huno hentofaza hu'nea nehaza ne' negeno, hara huga osu'ne huno Devitina kefenkami atre'ne.
he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
43 Hagi ana Filistia ne'mo'a Devitina asamino, Nagra kra mani'nogenka azomparetira hara hunante'naku ne'ano? Nehuno agra'a anumzamofo agifi Devitima azeri haviza hanigu kazusi ke hunenteno,
He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
44 amanage hu'ne, Kagra are ege'na kagrira kahena kavufga harezama vanoma nehaza namazagane, mopafima vanoma nehaza afi zagane zami'nena negahaze.
He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
45 Higeno Deviti'a kenona'a huno, Kagra nagri'ma nahenakura bainati kazine, karugru kevene hankone erinenka ne'ane. Hianagi nagra kagri'ma ha'ma hugante'naku'ma neona, Israeli sondia vahetamimofo Hanavenentake Ra Anumzama huhaviza hunentana Anumzamofo agifi hara hugante'naku neoe.
David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
46 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira nazampi kavrentenkena, kahena knankena akafrigahue. Hagi Filistia sondia vahera menina zamahe'na zamavufaga hare'za vanoma nehaza namaramine, mopafi vanoma nehaza afi zagagafa zami'nena negahaze. E'ina hanuge'za mika kokankoka vahe'mo'za antahi'za ke'zama hanazana, Israeli vahe'mota Anumzana tamage Anumza mani'ne hu'za hugahaze.
Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
47 Hagi ana hanuge'za amama mani'naza vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamo'a bainati kazinteti'ene keveretira tagura ovazigahie hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo hakino, Agra'a hara huramanteno tamagrira tagri tazampi tamavrentegahie.
And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
48 Hagi Goliatima Deviti'ma ahenaku'ma erava'o nehigeno, Deviti'a agareno tava'oma'are nevuno,
As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
49 ku'afinti mago have hefino kao akruteti'ma tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza ati'afi erinteno, eri kagigagi huteno matevuno ana Filistia nera aseni rurako huno ahegeno, ana havemo'a asenifi hanagatino ufregeno, avugosaregati mopafi traka huno umasene.
He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
50 Hagi Deviti'a kao akruteti'ma tro'ma hu'ne'za havema erinte'za mate'ma vu'za nehaza atifinti Filistia nera ahefrino hara hugatere'ne. Hagi Deviti'a magore huno azampina bainati kazina e'ori'ne.
Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
51 Hagi Deviti'a agareno agofetu ome oti'neno, Goliatina bainati kazima'a ku'afinti ome avazu huno ahenefrino, agenopa akafritre'ne. Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'zama kageno hanavenentake ha' ne'ma frige'za zamagra rukrahe hu'za kore fre'naze.
52 Hagi ana'ma hige'za Israeline Juda sondia vahe'mo'za rankezaneti'za Filistia vahera zamarotago hu'za ome zamahetre eme zamahetre hu'za Ekroni kuma kafante uhanati'naze. Hagi ana Filistia vahe'mokizmi zamavufagamo'a Saraimine Gatine Ekroni agupo kantega meno vu'ne.
The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
53 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za zamarotago hu'za Filistia sondia vahera ome zamatrete'za, ete e'za ana Filistia vahe'mo'zama seli nonkuma'zmia atre'za fre'naza kumapima me'nea zantamina eme eri vagare'naze.
When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
54 Hagi Deviti'a Goliati agenopa erino Jerusalemi vu'ne. Hianagi ana ne'mofo ha' zana erino seli noma'afi ome ante'ne.
David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55 Hagi Devitima Goliati'ma ha' hunte'naku'ma nevigeno, Soli'ma negeno'a sondia vahete kva ne' Abnana antahigeno, Ami iza mofavre? huno antahigegeno, Abna'a kenona hunteno, kini ne'moka tamage hu'na ami ana risera ke'na antahi'na osu'noe.
As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
56 Higeno Soli'a huno, Iza mofavre mani'nefi vahe ome zamantahigenka go.
Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
57 Hagi Deviti'ma Goliati'ma ome aheteno ana ne'mofo agenopama azampi e'rineno ne-egeno'a, Abna'a ame huno Devitina avreno Solinte vu'ne.
[Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
58 Hagi Soli'a Devitina antahigeno, Kagra iza mofavre mani'nane? Higeno Deviti'a kenona huno, Betlehemu kumateti kagri eri'za ne'mofo Jesi mofavre mani'noe.
Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
