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 gathered their armies for battle. They were gathered at Sokoh, which belongs to Judah. They had encamped between Sokoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
2 Saul ac mwet Israel elos toeni ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos Infahlfal Elah, na elos akoo pac in mweun lain mwet Philistia.
Saul and the men of Israel gathered and encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines.
3 Mwet Philistia elos takla tu ke soko eol uh, ac mwet Israel ke soko pac eol, ac infahlfal se oan inmasrlolos.
The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side with 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,
A strong man came out of the Philistines' camp, a man named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
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.
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of chainmail. The coat weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.
6 Nial nukla pac ke osra bronze, ac el us osra in fakfuk soko finpisal.
He had bronze armor on his legs and a javelin of bronze between 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.
The staff of his spear was large, with a loop of cord for throwing it like the cord on a weaver's beam. His spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield 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.
He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am not I a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.
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 kill me, then will we be your servants. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you will be our servants and 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!”
Again the Philistine said, “I challenge the ranks of Israel today. Give me a man so we may fight together.”
11 Ke Saul ac mwet lal elos lohng kas inge, elos arulana sangeng.
When Saul and all Israel heard what the Philistine said, they were discouraged and greatly 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 the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons. Jesse was an old man in the days of Saul, very old 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.
The three oldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 David pa fusr emeet, ac ke pacl tamulel tolu ma matu uh welul Saul,
David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul.
15 na David el ac folok nu Bethlehem kais kutu pacl in karingin sheep nutin papa tumal.
Now David went back and forth between Saul's army and his father's sheep at Bethlehem, in order to feed them.
16 Goliath el kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel lotutang ac eku nukewa ke lusen len angngaul.
For forty days the Philistine strong man came near morning and evening to present himself for battle.
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.
Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take to your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp for 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.
Also bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand. See how your brothers are doing and bring back some proof that they are doing well.
19 Tokosra Saul, ac tamulel lom, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos muta Infahlfal Elah ac mweuni mwet Philistia.”
Your brothers are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting 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.
David got up early in the morning and left the flock in the care of a shepherd. He took the supplies and left, as Jesse commanded him. He came to the camp as the army was going out to the battlefield shouting the war cry.
21 Un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel elos tuyak ac ngetani nu sie akola nu ke mweun.
Then Israel and the Philistines lined up for battle, army against army.
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.
David left his belongings with the keeper of supplies, ran to the army, and greeted 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.
As he talked with them, the strong man, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, and he came out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words as before, and David heard them.
24 Ke mwet Israel elos liyal Goliath elos sangeng ac kaing.
When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were very afraid.
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.”
The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has come to challenge Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and he will give his daughter to him in marriage, and will make his father's house free from taxation 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?”
David said to the men who stood by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies 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 what they had been saying and told him, “So it will be done for the man who kills him.”
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!”
Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the mischief in your heart; for you have come down here so that you might see the battle.”
29 Na David el fahk, “Ku mea nga oru? Ya nga kofla in kusen siyuk?”
David said, “What have I done now? Was it not just a question?”
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.
He turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way. The people answered the same thing as before.
31 Kutu mwet inge lohng ma David el tuh fahk, na elos som fahk nu sel Saul, ac Saul el sapla solal.
When the words that David said were heard, soldiers repeated them to Saul, and he sent for David.
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.”
Then David said to Saul, “Let no man's heart fail because of that Philistine; your servant will go and fight with this 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!”
Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are only a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
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,
But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out 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.
I chased after him and attacked him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he rose up against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him.
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.
Your servant has killed both a lion and a bear. This uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has challenged the armies 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.”
David said, “Yahweh rescued me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear. He will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may Yahweh 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.
Saul clothed David with his armor. He put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he clothed him with a coat of chainmail.
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.
David strapped his sword on his armor. But he was not able to walk, because he had not trained with them. Then David said to Saul, “I cannot go out to fight with these, for I have not trained with them.” So David put them off.
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.
He took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook; he put them in his shepherd's pouch. His sling was in his hand as he approached 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
The Philistine came and approached David, with his shield bearer in front of him.
42 Goliath el ngetla liyal David, ac el israsrinkusrael mweyen David el tulik na kulang ac kato se.
When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he despised him, for he was only a boy, and ruddy, with a 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.
Then the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?,” 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.”
The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.”
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.
David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin. But I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
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 Yahweh will give me victory over you, and I will kill you and remove your head from your body. Today I will give the dead bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in 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 that all this gathering may know that Yahweh does not give victory with sword or spear. For the battle is Yahweh's, and he will give you into our hand.”
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.
When the Philistine rose and approached David, then David ran quickly toward the enemy army to meet him.
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.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone from it, slung it, and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank into the Philistine's forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
50 Ouinge wangin cutlass inpaol David a el kutangulla Goliath ac unilya ke fuht se ac eot srisrik se!
David defeated the Philistine with a sling and with a stone. He hit the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in David's 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.
Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword, drew it out of the sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their strong man was dead, they fled.
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.
Then the men of Israel and of Judah rose with a shout, and chased after the Philistines as far as the valley and the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, all the way to Gath and Ekron.
53 Ke mwet Israel elos folok ke ukok lalos, elos tui ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, ac eisani ma wap nukewa we.
The people of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 David el usla sifal Goliath nu Jerusalem, a el sruokya mwe mweun natul Goliath in lohm nuknuk sel sifacna.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his 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.”
When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As you live, king, I do not know.”
56 Na Saul el fahk, “Fahla siyuk lah nutin su.”
The king said, “Ask those who might know, whose son the boy is.”
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.
When David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with 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.”
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
