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 belongs to Judah, and camped 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.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley 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.
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
There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
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 on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
6 Ary nanao fiarovan-dranjo varahina tamin’ ny tongony izy ary lefom-pohy varahina teo an-damosiny.
And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over 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.
Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of 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.
He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, 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 is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will 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.
The Philistine said, "I defy 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.
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 Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
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;
The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
14 ary Davida no faralahy; ary izy telo lahy zokiny lasa nanaraka an’ i Saoly;
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 back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 Ary ilay Filistina nanatona marain-tsy hariva ka niseho efa-polo andro.
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.
Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your 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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
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 were in the Valley 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.
So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
21 Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Filistina efa nilahatra hiady ka nifanatrika ny miaramila.
And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, 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 supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
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.
As he talked with them, look, 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.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were 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.
The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt 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?
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
27 Ary ny olona namaly hoe: Izany ka izany no hatao amin’ izay lehilahy mahafaty azy.
The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills 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.
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
29 Ary hoy Davida: Moa maninona aho izao? Mba miteny aho, ka nahoana moa?
David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
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.
Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
31 Ary nony ren’ ny olona ny teny izay nataon’ i Davida, dia nambarany tamin’ i Saoly; ka dia naniraka naka azy izy.
When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for 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.
David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your 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.
Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are 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,
David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, 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 struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed 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.
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied 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.
YHWH who 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." Saul said to David, "Go; and YHWH shall be with you."
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 he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
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 strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took 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.
Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. 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.
So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of 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.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
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
The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, 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.
The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals 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 David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of YHWH of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have 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.
Today, YHWH will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals 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 YHWH doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is YHWH'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.
It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, 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.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on 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 with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed 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.
Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion 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.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely niverina avy nanenjika mafy ny Filistina ka namabo ny tobiny koa.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 Ary ny lohan’ ilay Filistina dia noraisin’ i Davida ka nentiny tany Jerosalema; fa ny fiadiany napetrany tao amin’ ny lainy.
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor 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.
When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
56 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Anontanionao na zanak’ iza na zanak’ iza iny zaza iny.
The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man 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.
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.
Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
