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.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
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 were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, 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 stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and there was a valley 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 out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six 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 of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 Ary nanao fiarovan-dranjo varahina tamin’ ny tongony izy ary lefom-pohy varahina teo an-damosiny.
And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass 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 shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-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 unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them: 'Why do ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, 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.
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye 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: 'I do taunt the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.'
11 Ary raha ren’ i Saoly sy ny Isiraely rehetra izany tenin’ ilay Filistina izany, dia nivadi-po izy ka raikitahotra loatra.
And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
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;
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken in years among men.
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 eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 ary Davida no faralahy; ary izy telo lahy zokiny lasa nanaraka an’ i Saoly;
And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul. —
15 fa Davida kosa nivoivoy avy tany amin’ i Saoly hiandry ny ondrin-drainy tany Betlehema.
Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem. —
16 Ary ilay Filistina nanatona marain-tsy hariva ka niseho efa-polo andro.
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself 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 Jesse said unto David his son: 'Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren.
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 bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and to thy brethren shalt thou bring greetings, and take their pledge;
19 Ary Saoly sy izy telo lahy mbamin’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely dia teo amin’ ny lohasaha Elaha niady tamin’ ny Filistina.
now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, are in the vale of Elah, fighting 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 up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the barricade, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Filistina efa nilahatra hiady ka nifanatrika ny miaramila.
And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
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 left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brethren.
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 as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard them.
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 him, and were sore afraid.
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 is come up? surely to taunt Israel is he come up; and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and 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 that stood by him, saying: 'What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the taunt from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should have taunted the armies of the living God?'
27 Ary ny olona namaly hoe: Izany ka izany no hatao amin’ izay lehilahy mahafaty azy.
And the people answered him after this manner, saying: 'So shall it be done to the man that killeth 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 eldest brother heard when he spoke unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said: 'Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy presumptuousness, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.'
29 Ary hoy Davida: Moa maninona aho izao? Mba miteny aho, ka nahoana moa?
And David said: 'What have I now done? Was it not but a word?'
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 away from him toward another, and 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 when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he was taken to him.
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 no man's heart fail 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 art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a 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 unto Saul: 'Thy servant kept his father's sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb 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.
I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, 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 this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath taunted the armies 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.
And David said: 'The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul said unto 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 clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
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 David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he essayed to go, but could not; for he had not tried it. And David said unto Saul: 'I cannot go with these; for I have not tried them.' And David put them off 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 chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 Ary ilay Filistina nandroso nanatona an’ i Davida, sady teo alohany ilay lehilahy mitondra ny ampinga lehibe.
And the Philistine came nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
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 when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of 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 unto David: 'Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?' And the Philistine cursed David by his god.
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 unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.'
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.
Then said David to the Philistine: 'Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast taunted.
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 will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may 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 that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and He will give you into our hand.'
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 it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
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 put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
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 with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but 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 over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their mighty man was dead, 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 of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely niverina avy nanenjika mafy ny Filistina ka namabo ny tobiny koa.
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled 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 go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host: 'Abner, whose son is this youth?' And Abner said: 'As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.'
56 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Anontanionao na zanak’ iza na zanak’ iza iny zaza iny.
And the king said: 'Inquire thou whose son the stripling 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, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine 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, thou young man?' And David answered: 'I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.'
