1 Samoela 17
1 Natonto’ o nte-Pilistio amy zao o lahindefo’eo hañotakotake vaho nifamory e Sokò ‘Iehoda ey le nitobe añivo’ i Sokò naho i Azekà e Efe-damime ao.
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
2 Nifanontoñe naho nitobe am-bavatane’ i Elà ao t’i Saole naho o ana’ Israeleo vaho nilahatse hifañotakotak’ amo nte-Pilistio.
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 Nitrobàke ami’ty vohitse añ’ila’e eo o nte-Pilistio vaho nizorazora am-bohitse añ’ila’e eo ka o ana’ Israeleo; añivo’ iereo ty vavatane.
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 Niavotse an-tobe’ o nte-Pilistio ty fanalolahy atao Goliate nte-Gate, enen-kiho mitovon-jehe-pitàñe ty haabo’e.
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 Sabaka torisìke ty tañambone’e, nisikiñe fiaro torisìke; lime arivo sekelen-torisìke ty lanja’ i fiaro zay.
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 Fikalañe torisìke ka ty an-kitso’e vaho fikalan-defon-torisìke ty an-tsoro’e.
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
7 Hoe taram-pitenoñe i taran-defo’ey, nilanja enen-jato sekelem-by ty lohan-defo’e vaho niaolo aze ty mpijiny fikalan-defoñe.
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 Nijagarodoñe ey re nikoikoike amo lahindefon’ ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Ino ty iakara’areo am-piriritañe hialy? Tsy nte-Pilisty hao iraho, naho mpitoro’ i Saole nahareo? Aa le joboño t’indaty ama’ areo hizotso mb’ amako mb’etoa.
And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and you Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
9 Ie mahafialy amako, naho mahagiok’ ahy, le ho mpitoro’ areo zahay, fe naho maharekets’ aze iraho le ho mpitoro’ay nahareo.
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall strike me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and strike him, you shall be our servants, and serve us.
10 Hoe ka i nte-Pilistiy: Mañatreatre o lahindefon-te-Israeleo iraho androany, anoloro ondaty hifandraparapaha’ay.
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 Ie jinanji’ i Saole naho Israele iaby ty saontsi’ i nte-Pilistiy, le nitsololòke naho nirevendreveñe.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
12 Ie amy zao ana’ ty nte-Efrate atao Iisay nte Betlekheme e Iehoda t’i Davide, valo o ana-dahi’ indatio; ie fa bey tañ’ andro’ i Saole, nigain-kantetse am’ ondatio.
[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 amongst men in the days of Saul. ]
13 Nomb’ añ’aly hañorike i Saole ty zoken’ ana’e telo. Ty tahina’ i telo nomb’ an-kotakotake rey le i Eliabe, tañoloñoloña’e, naho i Abinadabe nanonjohy aze, vaho i Samà ty fahatelo’e.
[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 I Davide ty tsitso’e; nañorike i Saole añe i zoke’e telo rey.
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 Fe nibalike boak’ amy nindreza’e amy Saoley t’i Davide hiandraza’e o añondrin-drae’e e Betlekhemeo.
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
16 Nitotoke mb’eo boa-maraiñe naho hariva, efa-polo andro, i nte-Pilistiy.
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
17 Aa hoe t’Iisay amy Davide ana’ey, Endeso henaneo ty ampemba-tono efà raike toy naho ty vonga-mofo folo retoy, le mihitrifa mb’ aman-drahalahi’o an-tobe añe;
[And Jessae said to David, Take now to your brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to your brothers. ]
18 naho tintino mb’ amy mpifehe arivo’ iareoy mb’eo ty habobo maike folo retoy, le añontaneo o rahalahi’oo, vaho ampitalilio ahy.
[And you shall carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and you shall see how your brethren fare, and learn what they lack. ]
19 Am-bavatane’ i Elà ao t’i Saole rekets’ iereo naho o ana’ Israele iaby mialy amo nte-Pilistioo.
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
20 Aa le nañaleñaleñe t’i Davide; nenga’e ami’ty mpiarake, o añondri’eo naho nionjomb’ amy nañiraha’ Iisaiy vaho nivotrak’ amy tobey, ie nivovotse mb’ an-kotakotake mb’eo o lahindefoñe nikoikoik’ alio.
[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 Songa nandahatse lahindefoñe t’Israele naho o nte-Pilistio, lahindefo miatre-dahindefoñe.
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
22 Aa le napo’ i Davide amy mpamandron-kilankañey o enta’eo vaho nipitsike mb’amo lahindefoñeo mb’eo; ie pok’eo le nañontàne o rahalahi’eo,
[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 nifanaontsy am’ iereo naho hehe te boak’ amy nte-Pilisty màroy i fanalolahy nte-Pilisty nte-Gatey, Goliate ty tahina’ i nitsey i entañeiy vaho tsinano’ i Davide.
[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 Ie nahaisak’ aze o lahindefo’ Israele iabio le nivoratsake hisitak’ ama’e, fa loho nihembañe.
[And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
25 Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo: Nirendre’o hao ondaty pok’ atoio? Ty hampisoaña’e Israele ty nihirifa’e; ie amy zao, ze ondaty hamono aze ro hañoboña’ i mpanjakay vara hampañaleale aze naho hatolo’e aze i anak’ ampela’ey vaho ho haha’e am’ Israele ty akiban-drae’e.
[And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall strike 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 Le hoe ty asa’ i Davide amo nijohañe marine azeo: Ino ty ho tambe’ t’indaty mahafañoho-doza amo nte-Pilisty e hoeke eio hañafaha’e ty fañinjea’e Israele? fa ia o nte-Pilisty tsy nisavareñeo te godabae’e o lahindefon’ Añahare veloñeo?
[and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall strike 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 Le tinoi’ ondatio amo hoe zao, t’ie: Izay ty hanoañe indaty mahavono azey.
[And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall strike him. ]
28 Jinanji’ i Eliabe, zoken-drahalahi’e, i reha’e am’ ondatioy; le nisolebotse amy Davide ty haboseha’e, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty nizotsoa’o mb’etoa? naho nenga’o ama’ ia o añondry tsy ampeampe an-dratraratrao? Haiko ty fiebotsebon-tro’o naho ty halo-tsere’o; ihe nizotso mb’etoa hisamba i hotakotakey.
[And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why have you thus come down, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the naughtiness of your heart, for you are come down to see the battle. ]
29 Hoe t’i Davide: Ino ze o nanoeko, tsy nirehak’ avao hao?
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
30 Le niambohoa’e naho nitolik’ ami’ty ila’e naho nañontane i hoe zay indraike; fe natoi’ ondatio aze ty manahake i teoy.
[And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
31 Aa ie nijanjiñeñe o saontsi’ i Davideo, le nahereñe aolo’ i Saole i enta’ey; vaho nasese mb’eo re.
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
32 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Saole; Ehe te tsy eo ty ondaty hamoe ay ty ama’e, fa hionjomb’eo o mpitoro’oo hifandrapak’ amy nte-Pilistiy.
And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray you, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: your servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
33 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Davide: Tsy ho lefe’o ty hionjomb’ amy nte-Pilistiy hialia’o; ihe mbe tora’e, ie lahindefoñe sikal’ ami’ ty nahajalahy aze.
And Saul said to David, You will not in anyway be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 Aa hoe t’i Davide amy Saole: Niarake o añondrin-drae’eo o mpitoro’oo; le ie pok’eo ty liona ndra ty dobe nitavañe vik’añondry amy lia-raikey,
And David said to Saul, Your 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 le nañeañe aze iraho le vinonoko naho navotsoko am-bava’e; aa ie nitroatse amako le rinambeko o volon-tsoma’eo naho linafako vaho vinonoko.
then I went forth after him, and struck him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and struck him, and killed him.
36 Fa hene vinono’ o mpitoro’oo ty liona naho ty dobe le ho hambañe ami’ty raik’ amy zay ty nte-Pilisty tsy nisavareñe roa, oniñe t’ie nanalatse o lahindefon’ Añahare veloñeo.
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and strike 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 Tinovo’ i Davide ty hoe, Iehovà nandrombak’ ahy an-dela-tombon-diona naho an-dela-tombon-dobey, ty handrombak’ ahy an-taña’ t’i nte-Pilisty toañe. Aa hoe t’i Saole amy Davide, Akia, hitahy azo t’Iehovà.
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 you.
38 Nasaro’ i Saole amy Davide o saro’eo, naombe’e an-doha’e eo i sabaka’e torisìkey vaho nanoe’e ama’e o gozò’eo.
And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
39 Le nadia’ i Davide amo saro’eo i fibara’ey naho nimanea’e ty hitsontike amo tsy nañohara’eo, le hoe t’i Davide amy Saole; Tsy ho lefe i liakoy amo raha retiañe, fa tsy niventèko. Le nafaha’ i Davide irezay.
And he girded 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 Rinambe’e am-pità’e i kobai’ey, naho nijoboñe vato lime malama an-torahañ’ ao vaho najo’e amy mozete’ey, toe an-kotra’e ao; tam-pità’e i pile’ey; le nitotofe’e i nte-Pilistiy.
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 Niheo mb’amy Davide mb’eo i nte-Pilistiy, niharine, niaolo aze i mpinday fikala’ey.
And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
42 Jinilojilo i nte-Pilistiy le naharendreke i Davide naho nitorifiha’e fa ajalahy mena, soa-vintañe.
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
43 Le hoe i nte-Pilistiy amy Davide: Amboa v’o aho te harinea’o an-kobaiñe? Le nozoñe’ i nte-Pilistiy amo ‘ndrahare’eo t’i Davide.
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that you come 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 Le hoe i nte-Pilistiy amy Davide: Mb’amako mb’etoa le hatoloko amo voron-tiokeo o nofo’oo naho amo bibin-kivokeo.
And the Philistine 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 Le hoe t’i Davide amy nte-Pilistiy: Itotoha’o am-pibara naho lefoñe vaho ana-defoñe, f’ihe ty harivoeko ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ o lahindefo’ Israele sigìhe’oo.
And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which you have defied
46 Hatolo’ Iehovà an-tañako irehe te anito; le ho zevoñeko, naho ho kitsiheko ama’o ty añambone’o vaho hatoloko amo voron-tiokeo naho amo bibin-kivokeo anito o lolo’ i valobohò nte-Pilistiio; hahafohina’ ty tane bey toy te aman’ Añahare ty e Israele ao.
this day. And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand; and I will kill you, and take away your head from off you, and will give your 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 Le ho fohi’ ze hene ondaty vory atoy te maharombake tsy amam-pibara tsy aman-defoñe t’Iehovà, toe a’ Iehovà ty hotakotake, fa natolo’e an-taña’ay nahareo.
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 Niongake le nimb’eo i nte-Pilistiy niharine amy Davide, le nipitsike ty lay mb’ amo mpiatreatreo t’i Davide higaoñe amy nte-Pilistiy,
And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
49 le nampijom-pitàñ’ an-kotra’e ao t’i Davide nañakatse vato, naho nipilere’e amy pile’ey le nipelañe am-pela-handri’ i nte-Pilistiy i vatoy le nilentek’ am-panda’e ao, vaho nitafahohoke re, laharañe an-tane.
And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and struck 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 Aa le naozatse te amy Pilistiy t’i Davide am-piletse naho vato. Zinevo’e vaho vinono’e i nte-Pilistiy ndra te tsy amam-pibara ty fità’ i Davide.
[So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
51 Nilay t’i Davide nijohañe amy nte-Pilistiy eo naho rinambe’e ty fibara’e naho napontsoa’e amy traño’ey naho finatsi’e, nampikitsike i añambone’ey. Aa ie naharendreke te mate i fanalolahi’ey o nte-Pilistio, le nitriban-day.
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
52 Niongak’ amy zao o lahindefo’ Israele naho Iehodao, nampipoña-koikoin’ aly vaho nañoridañe o nte-Pilistio pake Gate naho ampara’ o lalambei’ i Ekroneo. Nifitak’ amy lalañey pake Saaraime naho sikal’amy Gate naho i Ekrone o nte-Pilisty nifereo.
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 Ie nimpoly amy fañoridà’ iareo o nte-Pilistioy o ana’ Israeleo le fonga kinopa’ iareo ty vara an-tobe’ o nte-Pilistio.
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
54 Rinambe i Davide ty añambone’ i nte-Pilistiy, vaho nendese’e mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo, fe nahaja’e an-kiboho’e ao o fikala’ i Goliateo.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 Ie niisa’ i Saole t’i Davide nionjo hifañatrek’ amy nte-Pilistiy, le nañontanea’e t’i Abnere, mpifehe’ i màroy: Ana’ ia o ajalahio? aa hoe ty natoi’ i Abnere: Amy te veloñe ty arofo’o ry mpanjaka, toe tsy fantako.
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 your sould lives, O King, I know not.
56 Hoe i mpanjakay, Rendreho te ana’ ia i ajalahiy.
And the king said, Do you ask whose son this youth is.
57 Ie nibalik’ amy nañohofa’e loza amy nte-Pilistiy t’i Davide le nendese’ i Abnere mb’amy Saole mb’eo, am-pità’e ty loha’ i nte-Pilistiy.
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 Nañontane aze t’i Saole: O ajalahio, ana’ ia v’iheo? Ana’ i mpitoro’o Iisay nte-Betelekemey, hoe t’i Davide.
And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? and David said, The son of your servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
