Sie Samuel 17
1 Mwet Philistia elos solani un mwet mweun lalos nu Socoh, sie siti srisrik in acn Judah, ac akola nu ke mweun. Elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos in acn se pangpang Ephes Dammim, su oan inmasrlon Socoh ac Azekah.
Now the Philistines, gathering their troops for battle, assembled at Socoh of Judah. And they made camp between Socoh and Azekah, within the borders of Dammim.
2 Saul ac mwet Israel elos toeni ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos Infahlfal Elah, na elos akoo pac in mweun lain mwet Philistia.
But Saul and the sons of Israel, having gathered together, went to the Valley of Terebinth. And they positioned the army so as to fight against the Philistines.
3 Mwet Philistia elos takla tu ke soko eol uh, ac mwet Israel ke soko pac eol, ac infahlfal se oan inmasrlolos.
And the Philistines were standing on a mountain on the one side, and Israel was standing on a mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them.
4 Oasr sie mwet pangpang Goliath, el mwet in siti Gath. El illa liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia ac solsol anwuk nu sin mwet Israel. Lusal alukela fit eu,
And there went out from the camp of the Philistines, a man of illegitimate birth, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a palm.
5 ac el nukum nuknuk orek ke osra bronze, toasriya akuran sun paun siofok longoul limekosr, ac mwe susu lal orek pac ke osra bronze.
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a breastplate of scales. Moreover, the weight of his breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 Nial nukla pac ke osra bronze, ac el us osra in fakfuk soko finpisal.
And he had plates of brass on his lower legs, and a small shield of brass was covering his shoulders.
7 Fungin osra soko natul yohk oana sak ke mwe otwot nuknuk, ac mutun osra soko ah orek ke osra iron su toasriya akuran paun singoul limekosr. Sie mwet mweun el fahsr meet lukel ac us mwe loang lal uh.
Now the shaft of his spear was like the beam used by a weaver. And the iron of his spear held six hundred shekels of iron. And his armor bearer went before him.
8 Goliath el tu ac wowo nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Mea kowos oru ingan? Ya kowos takla akola in mweun? Nga sie mwet Philistia, ac kowos mwet kohs lal Saul! Sulela sie mwet lowos an in tuku lainyu.
And standing still, he cried out to the battle lines of Israel, and he said to them: “Why have you arrived, prepared for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose one man from among you, and let him descend to do battle alone.
9 El fin kutangla ac uniyuwi, na kut ac fah mwet kohs lowos. A nga fin kutangla ac unilya, na kowos ac fah mwet kohs lasr.
If he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, we will be your servants. But if I will prevail over him, and strike him down, you will be the servants, and you will serve us.”
10 Inge misenge nga tuyak ac akola in lain un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel. Nga tia sensen in fahkot: sulela sie mwet an nga el in anwuk!”
And the Philistine was saying: “I have reproached the troops of Israel today. Present a man to me, and let him undertake a fight against me alone.”
11 Ke Saul ac mwet lal elos lohng kas inge, elos arulana sangeng.
And Saul and all the Israelites, hearing these words of the Philistine in this manner, were stupefied and exceedingly afraid.
12 David el wen natul Jesse, sie mwet Ephrathah su muta Bethlehem in acn Judah. Oasr wen oalkosr natul Jesse, ac in pacl se Saul el tokosra, Jesse el arulana matuoh.
Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man, the one mentioned above, from Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons, and during the days of Saul, he was an elderly man, and of great age among men.
13 Wen tolu natul Jesse ma matu eltal welul Saul oasr ke nien mweun uh. Ma se ma matu uh pa Eliab, ma se akluo uh pa Abinadab, ac aktolu pa Shammah.
Now his three eldest sons followed Saul into battle. And the names of his three sons, who went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 David pa fusr emeet, ac ke pacl tamulel tolu ma matu uh welul Saul,
But David was the youngest. Therefore, when the three eldest had followed Saul,
15 na David el ac folok nu Bethlehem kais kutu pacl in karingin sheep nutin papa tumal.
David went away from Saul, and he returned, so that he might pasture the flock of his father at Bethlehem.
16 Goliath el kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel lotutang ac eku nukewa ke lusen len angngaul.
Truly, the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and he stood forth, for forty days.
17 Sie len ah Jesse el fahk nu sel David, “Us tafun bushel in fiten wheat manman inge ac lof singoul inge, ac sulaklak nu yurin tamulel wiom in nien aktuktuk uh.
Now Jesse said to his son David: “Take, for your brothers, an ephah of cooked grain, and these ten loaves, and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.
18 Ac us ipin cheese singoul inge nu sin captain lun un mwet mweun an. Srike liye lah tamulel lom ah fuka, na kom fah foloko ac use sie ma in akpwayeye lah kom sonoltal ac lah eltal ku na.
And you shall carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune. And visit your brothers, to see if they are doing well. And learn with whom they have been stationed.”
19 Tokosra Saul, ac tamulel lom, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos muta Infahlfal Elah ac mweuni mwet Philistia.”
But they were in the valley of Terebinth, with Saul and all the sons of Israel, fighting against the Philistines.
20 Len tok ah David el toangna tukakek ac el sap sie pac mwet in muta karingin sheep uh. Na el eis mwe mongo ma akoeyuk, ac som oana Jesse el tuh fahk nu sel. Ke el sun nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Israel, falyang na nu ke pacl se elos sasa, illa ac takla in mweun.
And so, David rose up in the morning, and he commended the flock to the caretaker. And he went away burdened, just as Jesse had instructed him. And he went to the place of the battle line, and to the army, which, in going out to fight, was shouting in the conflict.
21 Un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel elos tuyak ac ngetani nu sie akola nu ke mweun.
For Israel had positioned their troops, but the Philistines also had prepared themselves against them.
22 David el filiya mwe mongo el us yurin mwet se ma liyaung kufwen mwe mweun, na el kasrusr nu ke acn se mwet mweun takla we ah, ac suk mwet wial ah. Na el siyuk seltal lah eltal fuka.
Then, leaving the items that he had brought under the hand of the keeper of baggage, David ran to the place of the conflict. And he was asking if all was going well with his brothers.
23 Ke el srakna sramsram nu seltal, Goliath el fahsryak nu meet, ac el sifilpa kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel oana ke el oru meet ah. Ac David el lohng ma Goliath el fahk inge.
And while he was still speaking with them, there appeared the man of spurious descent, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, ascending from the camp of the Philistines. And he was speaking in these same words, which David heard.
24 Ke mwet Israel elos liyal Goliath elos sangeng ac kaing.
Then all the Israelites, when they had seen the man, fled from his face, fearing him greatly.
25 Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Liyalwin! Lohng kusen mukul lal ingan! Tokosra Saul el wulela mu el ac sang moul na yohk nu sin mwet se su ac uniya mwet Philistia sacn. El ac sang acn natul in payukyak sin mukul sac, ac sou lun papa tumun mukul sac ac tia enenu in moli mwe takma lalos.”
And someone of Israel said: “Have you seen this man, who has risen up. For he ascended in order to reproach Israel. Therefore, the man who will strike him down, the king will enrich with great wealth, and will give to him his daughter, and will cause his father’s house to be free of tribute in Israel.”
26 David el siyuk sin mwet ma tu siskal ah, “Mea ac orek nu sin mwet se su uniya mwet Philistia se ingo, ac tulala mwet Israel liki mwe mwekin se inge? Ac su win mwet Philistia pegan se ingan, ku elan orek tungak nu sin mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD moul?”
And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: “What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?”
27 Na elos fahk nu sel David ma ac tufah orek nu sin mwet se ac unilya Goliath.
Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”
28 Eliab, tamulel matu se wial David, el lohng sramsram lal David nu sin mwet inge, na el kasrkusrak sel ac fahk, “Mea kom tuku oru uh? Ac su muta liyaung sheep ekasr nutum oe yen mwesis ah? Kom ekak! Kom akna kom in intoein mweun uh, pa sis kom tuku an!”
Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”
29 Na David el fahk, “Ku mea nga oru? Ya nga kofla in kusen siyuk?”
And David said: “What have I done? Is there any word against me?”
30 David el forla nu sin sie pac mwet ac siyuk kusen siyuk sac pacna, ac pacl nukewa el ac siyuk ma sac, na top sefanna mwet uh ac topkol kac.
And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
31 Kutu mwet inge lohng ma David el tuh fahk, na elos som fahk nu sel Saul, ac Saul el sapla solal.
Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
32 Na David el fahk nu sel Saul, “O Tokosra, wangin sripa mwet uh in sangeng sin mwet Philistia se inge! Nga fah som anwuk nu sel.”
When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”
33 Ac Saul el fahk, “Ku kom ac lainul fuka? Kom srakna tulik, a funu el, el nuna mwet mweun se in moul lal nufon!”
And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”
34 Ac David el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga pa liyaung sheep nutin papa tumuk. Pacl nukewa lion soko ku bear soko fin tuku sruokya sheep fusr soko ac usla liki un sheep uh,
And David said to Saul: “Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.
35 nga ac ukwal ac onel, ac molela sheep uh liki inwalul. Na lion soko ku bear soko fin forma nu sik, nga sruokya inkwawal ac puokol nwe ke el misa.
And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
36 Nga uniya lion ac bear tari, ac nga ac oru oapana nu sin mwet Philistia pegan se inge, su tuku funmwet nu sin mwet mweun lun God moul.
For I, your servant, have killed both lion and bear. And so this uncircumcised Philistine, too, will be like one of them. Now I will go and take away the reproach of the people. For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who has dared to curse the army of the living God?”
37 LEUM GOD El moliyula liki lion ac bear, ac El ac fah moliyula liki mwet Philistia se pac inge. Na Saul el fahk, “Wona. Fahsrot, ac LEUM GOD Elan wi kom.”
And David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion, and from the hand of the bear, he himself will free me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
38 Saul el sang mwe loeyuk lal sifacna nu sel David elan nokomang: mwe susu osra se el sang nu fin sifal David, oayapa nuknuk osra se.
And Saul clothed David with his garments. And he placed a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clothed him with a breastplate.
39 David el kapriya cutlass natul Saul nu ke nuknuk osra sac, ac el srike in fahsr tuh el tia ku, mweyen el supah kac. Na el fahk nu sel Saul, “Nga tia ku in mweun ke ma inge oan keik uh. Nga supah kac.” Na el sarukla nufon.
Then David, having girded his sword over his armor, began to see if he could walk in the armor. But he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: “I cannot move about in this way. For I am not used to it.” And he put them aside.
40 El srukak sikal soko natul, ac el sulela eot fwel limekosr infacl ah, ac isongya nu in pak lal ah. El akola fuht natul ah inpaol, na el som in sonol Goliath.
And he took up his staff, which he held always in his hands. And he chose for himself five very smooth stones from the torrent. And he put them into the shepherd’s bag that he had with him. And he took up a sling in his hand. And he went out against the Philistine.
41 Mwet Philistia sac mutawauk in fahsr nu yorol David, ac mwet us mwe loang natul ah fahsr meet lukel. Ke fototoeni inmasrloltal
And the Philistine, advancing, went and drew near against David. And his armor bearer was before him.
42 Goliath el ngetla liyal David, ac el israsrinkusrael mweyen David el tulik na kulang ac kato se.
And when the Philistine had seen and considered David, he despised him. For he was a youth, ruddy and of handsome appearance.
43 Ac Goliath el fahk nu sel David, “Mwe mea sak soko an? Kom nunku mu kosro ngalngul soko pa nga?” Na el pang nu sin god lal tuh elan selngawel David.
And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Goliath el kusen mukul nu sel David ac fahk, “Fahsru na, ac nga fah sang monum tuh won yen engyeng uh ac kosro lemnak in kang.”
And he said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.”
45 Ac David el fahk, “Kom tuku lainyu ke cutlass ac osra ac mwe fakfuk, a nga tuku lain kom ke Inen LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, su kom orek funmwet nu se.
But David said to the Philistine: “You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.
46 Misenge LEUM GOD El ac fah eiskomme nu inpouk, ac nga fah unikomi ac pakela sifom. Nga fah sang monin mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh won yen engyengu ac kosro lemnak in kang. Na faclu nufon fah etu tuh oasr sie God in Israel.
Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.
47 Ac mwet nukewa inge fah liye lah LEUM GOD El tia enenu cutlass ku osra in molela mwet lal. Kutangla se inge ma na lal, ac El ac fah filikowosme nu inpaosr.”
And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.”
48 Goliath el mutawauk in sifil fahsr nu yorol David, ac David el kasrusr nu ke lain in mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh elan lainul.
Then, when the Philistine had risen up, and was approaching, and was drawing near against David, David hurried and ran to the fight against the Philistine.
49 David el isongya paol nu in pak lal ah, olak sie eot loac ah, furokang nu kacl Goliath. Eot sac sunna motonsrol twe fukulya ahlunsifal Goliath, na el ikori oankiyuki infohk ah.
And he put his hand into his bag, and took out one stone. And swinging it around, he cast it with the sling and struck the Philistine on the forehead. And the stone became imbedded in his forehead. And he fell on his face, upon the ground.
50 Ouinge wangin cutlass inpaol David a el kutangulla Goliath ac unilya ke fuht se ac eot srisrik se!
And David prevailed against the Philistine with a sling and a stone. And he struck and killed the Philistine. But since David held no sword in his hand,
51 David el yuyang nu yorol Goliath ac fanyak tu facl. El eisla cutlass natul Goliath liki mwe neinyuk la ah, ac sang pakela sifal ac unilya. Ke mwet Philistia elos liye lah mwet se elos finsrak kac el misa, elos kaing.
he ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword, and withdrew it from the sheath. And he killed him and cut off his head. Then the Philistines, seeing that their strongest man was dead, fled away.
52 Mwet Israel ac Judah elos sasa ac ukwe mwet Philistia nwe ke elos sun acn Gath ac mutunpot in Ekron. Mwet Philistia elos ikor ac kinetneta inkanek ma fahla nu Shaaraim, nwe ke sun acn Gath ac Ekron.
And the men of Israel and Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.
53 Ke mwet Israel elos folok ke ukok lalos, elos tui ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, ac eisani ma wap nukewa we.
And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.
54 David el usla sifal Goliath nu Jerusalem, a el sruokya mwe mweun natul Goliath in lohm nuknuk sel sifacna.
Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.
55 Ke Saul el liyal David ke el fahla in mweunel Goliath, el siyuk sel Abner, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, ac fahk, “Abner, nutin su tulik se ingan?” Abner el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga tiana etu.”
Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, “From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
56 Na Saul el fahk, “Fahla siyuk lah nutin su.”
And the king said, “You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.”
57 Ke David el folok nu ke nien aktuktuk uh tukun el unilya Goliath, Abner el usalla nu yorol Saul. David el srakna us sifal Goliath.
And when David had returned, after the Philistine had been struck down, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, having the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 Saul el siyuk sel David, “Mwet fusr, nutin su kom an?” David el topuk, “Nga ma nutin mwet kulansap lom, Jesse, mwet Bethlehem se.”
And Saul said to him, “Young man, from what ancestry are you?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”
