1 Samoela 17
1 Ary ny Filistina namory ny miaramilany hiady, ka tafavory tao Soko any Joda izy ary nitoby teo anelanelan’ i Soko sy Azeka, dia tao Efesa-damima.
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
2 Ary Saoly sy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely dia tafavory ka nitoby teo amin’ ny lohasaha Elaha ary nilahatra hiady amin’ ny Filistina.
And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Ary ny Filistina dia teo am-pita teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra iray, ary ny Isiraely kosa teo am-pita teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra iray, ary lohasaha no elanelany.
And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
4 Ary nisy lehilahy iray mpihantsy ady nivoaka avy teny amin’ ny tobin’ ny Filistina, Goliata avy any Gata no anarany; enina hakiho sy irain-jehy no halavany
And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
5 Ary nisatroka fiarovan-doha varahina izy, ary niakanjo fiarovan-tratra, ka ny lanjan’ ny akanjony varahina dia dimy arivo sekely.
And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
6 Ary nanao fiarovan-dranjo varahina tamin’ ny tongony izy ary lefom-pohy varahina teo an-damosiny.
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
7 Ary ny haben’ ny zaran-defony dia tahaka ny vodi-tenon’ ny mpanenona; ary ny lela-lefony dia vy lanjan-tsekely enin-jato; ary nisy nitondra ny ampinga lehibe nandeha teo alohany.
And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
8 Ary nijanona izy, dia niantso ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mivoaka hilahatra hiady? Tsy Filistina va aho, ary ianareo kosa mpanompon’ i Saoly? Mifidiana lehilahy iray ianareo, ary aoka izy hidina etỳ amiko.
And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
9 Raha tàhiny maharesy ahy izy ka mahafaty ahy, dia ho mpanomponareo izahay; fa raha resiko kosa izy ka matiko, dia ho mpanomponay ianareo ka hanompo anay.
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall smite me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and smite him, ye shall be our servants, and serve us.
10 Ary hoy ilay Filistina: Izaho efa nihaika ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely androany; amoahy lehilahy iray aho hiady amiko.
And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
11 Ary raha ren’ i Saoly sy ny Isiraely rehetra izany tenin’ ilay Filistina izany, dia nivadi-po izy ka raikitahotra loatra.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
12 Ary Davida dia zanak’ ilay Efratita avy any Betlehema-joda atao hoe Jese, izay nanana zanaka valo mirahalahy; ary Jese dia efa zokiolona sy anti-panahy tamin’ ny andron’ i Saoly;
[And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men in the days of Saul. ]
13 ary ny zokiny telo lahy tamin’ ny zanak’ i Jese lasa nanaraka an’ i Saoly nankany an-tafika; ary ny anaran’ ny zanany telo lahy lasa nankany an-tafika dia Eliaba, lahimatoa, sy Abinadaba, lahiaivo, ary Sama no fahatelony;
[And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
14 ary Davida no faralahy; ary izy telo lahy zokiny lasa nanaraka an’ i Saoly;
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 fa Davida kosa nivoivoy avy tany amin’ i Saoly hiandry ny ondrin-drainy tany Betlehema.
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
16 Ary ilay Filistina nanatona marain-tsy hariva ka niseho efa-polo andro.
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
17 Ary hoy Jese tamin’ i Davida zanany: Ento ity lango eran’ ny efaha ity sy ireto mofo folo ireto ho an’ ny rahalahinao; ka dia atero faingana ho any an-toby ho any amin’ ny rahalahinao.
[And Jessae said to David, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to thy brothers. ]
18 Ary ento ho an’ ny mpifehy arivony ireto fromazy didiny folo ireto, dia izahao na tsara ihany ny rahalahinao, na manao ahoana, ary itondray izay hahafantarako ny toeny aho.
[And thou shalt carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and thou shalt see how thy brethren fare, and learn what they want. ]
19 Ary Saoly sy izy telo lahy mbamin’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely dia teo amin’ ny lohasaha Elaha niady tamin’ ny Filistina.
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
20 Dia nifoha maraina koa Davida ka namela ny ondriny hotandreman’ olona, ary naka ny entany izy ka lasa nandeha araka ny nandidian’ i Jese azy; ary tonga teo amin’ ny sehatra-sariety izy; ary ny antokon’ ny miaramila izay efa hivoaka hilahatra dia nanakora hiady tamin’ izay.
[And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
21 Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Filistina efa nilahatra hiady ka nifanatrika ny miaramila.
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
22 Ary Davida namela ny entany teo anilan’ ny mpiambina entana, dia nihazakazaka nankeny amin’ ny laharan’ ny miaramila, ary tonga ka nanontany ny amin’ izay toetry ny rahalahiny.
[And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
23 Ary raha mbola niresaka taminy izy, indro, tamy niakatra avy teo amin’ ny laharan’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina ilay mpihantsy ady, lehilahy Filistina avy any Gata, Goliata no anarany; ary niteny tahaka ny teo aloha ihany izy ka ren’ i Davida.
[And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
24 ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely, raha nahita io lehilahy io, dia nandositra azy, fa natahotra indrindra izy.
[And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
25 Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely: Efa hitanareo va io lehilahy miakatra io? Hihaika ny Isiraely no iakarany; koa izay lehilahy mahafaty io dia hataon’ ny mpanjaka manan-karem-bevava, ary dia homeny koa ny zananivavy ho vadiny, sady tsy hampandoavin-ketra amin’ ny Isiraely ny tarana-drainy.
[And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall smite him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
26 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny olona teo anilany: Ahoana sy ahoana ange no hatao amin’ izay lehilahy mahafaty io Filistina io ka mahafa-tondromaso ny Isiraely? Fa zinona moa io Filistina tsy mifora io, no dia hihaika ny miaramilan’ Andriamanitra velona?
[and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall smite that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
27 Ary ny olona namaly hoe: Izany ka izany no hatao amin’ izay lehilahy mahafaty azy.
[And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall smite him. ]
28 Ary Eliaba zokiny nandre azy niteny tamin’ ny olona dia nirehitra tamin’ i Davida ny fahatezerany, ka hoy izy: Nahoana ianao no midìna etỳ? Ary amin’ iza moa no namelanao ireny ondry vitsy ireny any an-efitra? fantatro ny avonavonao sy ny faharatsian’ ny fonao, fa hizaha ny ady no idinanao etỳ.
[And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why hast thou thus come down, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart, for thou art come down to see the battle. ]
29 Ary hoy Davida: Moa maninona aho izao? Mba miteny aho, ka nahoana moa?
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
30 Ary niala teo aminy hankany amin’ ny sasany koa izy ka niteny tahaka ny teo; ary ny olona namaly azy tahaka ny teo ihany indray.
[And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
31 Ary nony ren’ ny olona ny teny izay nataon’ i Davida, dia nambarany tamin’ i Saoly; ka dia naniraka naka azy izy.
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
32 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Aoka tsy ho ketraka amin’ ilehio ny fon’ ny olona; fa ny mpanomponao handeha hiady amin’ io Filistina io.
And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray thee, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: thy servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
33 Fa hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida: Tsy tohanao ny handeha hiady amin’ io Filistina io, satria mbola zaza ianao, fa izy efa mpiady hatrizay niainany.
And Saul said to David, Thou wilt not in anywise be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for thou art a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 Fa hoy Davida tamin’ i Saoly: Ny mpanomponao niandry ny ondrin-drainy, ary nisy liona sy bera tonga tao ka nahalasa zanak’ ondry teo amin’ ny ondry,
And David said to Saul, Thy servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
35 dia nanenjika azy aho ka namely azy, ary azoko teny am-bavany ilay zanak’ ondry; ary nony handramatra ahy izy, dia nohazoniko tamin’ ny somony, ary nasiako ka matiko.
then I went forth after him, and smote him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Ny liona sy ny bera samy novonoin’ ny mpanomponao; ary io Filistina tsy mifora io dia ho tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ireny, satria nihaika ny miaramilan’ Andriamanitra velona izy.
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
37 Ary hoy koa Davida; Jehovah, Izay namonjy ahy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny liona sy ny bera, Izy no hamonjy ahy amin’ ny tanan’ io Filistina io. Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ i Davida; Mandehana, ary homba anao anie Jehovah.
The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with thee.
38 Ary Saoly nampiakanjo an’ i Davida ny akanjo fiadiany ary nanisy fiarovan-doha varahina tamin’ ny lohany sy nampiakanjo azy akanjo fiarovan-tratra.
And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
39 Ary Davida namehy ny sabany tamin’ ny akanjo fiadiany, dia nanandrana handeha; fa tsy mbola nahazatra azy izany, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Saoly: Tsy afa-mandeha amin’ ireto aho, fa tsy mbola nahazatra ahy; ary dia nesorin’ i Davida izany.
And he girt David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
40 Dia nitondra ny tehiny teny an-tànany izy sady nifidy vato kilonjy dimy tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka, ka nataony tao anatin’ ny kitapo fitondran’ ny mpiandry ondry, izay teny aminy, ary ny antsamotadiny koa teny an-tànany; dia nanatona ilay Filistina izy.
And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
41 Ary ilay Filistina nandroso nanatona an’ i Davida, sady teo alohany ilay lehilahy mitondra ny ampinga lehibe.
And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
42 Ary nony nijerijery an’ i Davida ilay Filistina ka nahita azy, dia nianjonanjona taminy, fa tanora izy sady mena volo no tsara tarehy.
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
43 Ary hoy ilay Filistina tamin’ i Davida: Alika angaha aho, no hatonin’ ialahy amin’ ny tehina? Ary nanozona an’ i Davida tamin’ ireo andriamaniny ilay Filistina
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 sady nanao tamin’ i Davida hoe: Avia etỳ amiko, dia homeko ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ny nofon’ ialahy.
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
45 Fa hoy kosa Davida tamin’ ilay Filistina: Hianao manatona ahy amin’ ny sabatra sy ny lefona ary ny lefom-pohy; fa izaho kosa manatona anao amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely, Izay efa nohaikainao.
And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied
46 Anio no hanoloran’ i Jehovah anao amin’ ny tanako, ary hamely anao aho ka hanapaka ny lohanao, dia homeko ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ny fatin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina anio, mba ho fantatry ny tany rehetra fa manana Andriamanitra tokoa ny Isiraely.
this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
47 Ary ho fantatr’ izao fiangonana rehetra izao fa tsy sabatra sy lefona no amonjen’ i Jehovah; fa an’ i Jehovah ny ady, ary hanolotra anareo ho eo an-tananay Izy.
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
48 Ary nony niainga ilay Filistina ka nanatona hitsena an’ i Davida, dia nandroso faingana Davida ka nihazakazaka ho eo amin’ ny laharan’ ny miaramila hitsena ilay Filistina.
And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
49 Ary natsofok’ i Davida tao an-kitapo ny tananay, ka naka vato tao izy, ka dia nalefany tamin’ ny antsamotady, ka nahavoa ilay Filistina tamin’ ny handriny, ary nilentika tamin’ ny handriny ny vato, dia potraka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany izy.
And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
50 Toy izany no nandresen’ i Davida ilay Filistina tamin’ ny vaton’ antsamotady, fa namely ilay Filistina izy ka nahafaty azy, ary tsy nisy sabatra teny an-tànan’ i Davida.
[So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
51 Dia nihazakazaka Davida ka nitsangana teo anilan’ ilay Filistina, dia nalainy ny sabatr’ ilehio ka notsoahany tamin’ ny tranony, dia namonoany azy, sy nanapahany ny lohany. Ary nony hitan’ ny Filistina fa maty ilay lehilahy maheriny, dia vaky nandositra izy.
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and slew him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
52 Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda dia nitsangana ka nanakora sy nanenjika ny Filistina hatrany akaikin’ i Gay sy ny vavahadin’ i Ekrona; ary izay voa tamin’ ny Filistina dia niampatrampatra teny amin’ ny lalana mankany Saraima ary hatrany Gata ka hatrany Ekrona.
And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
53 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely niverina avy nanenjika mafy ny Filistina ka namabo ny tobiny koa.
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
54 Ary ny lohan’ ilay Filistina dia noraisin’ i Davida ka nentiny tany Jerosalema; fa ny fiadiany napetrany tao amin’ ny lainy.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 Ary nony nahita an’ i Davida nandeha hiady tamin’ ny Filistina Saoly, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Abnera, komandin’ ny miaramila: Ry Abnera, zanak’ iza moa iny zaza iny? Ary hoy Abnera: Raha velona koa ny ainao, ry mpanjaka, tsy fantatro velively.
And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As thy sould lives, O King, I know not.
56 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Anontanionao na zanak’ iza na zanak’ iza iny zaza iny.
And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is.
57 Ary nony niverina avy namono ilay Filistina Davida, dia nalain’ i Abnera izy ka nentiny teo anatrehan’ i Saoly, ary mbola teny an-tànany ihany ny lohan’ ilay Filistina.
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
58 Dia hoy Saoly taminy: Zanak’ iza moa ianao, ry zatovo? Ary hoy Davida: Zanak’ i Jese Betlehemita mpanomponao aho.
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said, The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
