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.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim.
2 Nifanontoñe naho nitobe am-bavatane’ i Elà ao t’i Saole naho o ana’ Israeleo vaho nilahatse hifañotakotak’ amo nte-Pilistio.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, 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.
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 Niavotse an-tobe’ o nte-Pilistio ty fanalolahy atao Goliate nte-Gate, enen-kiho mitovon-jehe-pitàñe ty haabo’e.
A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.
5 Sabaka torisìke ty tañambone’e, nisikiñe fiaro torisìke; lime arivo sekelen-torisìke ty lanja’ i fiaro zay.
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
6 Fikalañe torisìke ka ty an-kitso’e vaho fikalan-defon-torisìke ty an-tsoro’e.
He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin 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.
The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield 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.
He stood and cried 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 Ie mahafialy amako, naho mahagiok’ ahy, le ho mpitoro’ areo zahay, fe naho maharekets’ aze iraho le ho mpitoro’ay nahareo.
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”
10 Hoe ka i nte-Pilistiy: Mañatreatre o lahindefon-te-Israeleo iraho androany, anoloro ondaty hifandraparapaha’ay.
The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
11 Ie jinanji’ i Saole naho Israele iaby ty saontsi’ i nte-Pilistiy, le nitsololòke naho nirevendreveñe.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
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.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man 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.
The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 I Davide ty tsitso’e; nañorike i Saole añe i zoke’e telo rey.
David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 Fe nibalike boak’ amy nindreza’e amy Saoley t’i Davide hiandraza’e o añondrin-drae’e e Betlekhemeo.
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16 Nitotoke mb’eo boa-maraiñe naho hariva, efa-polo andro, i nte-Pilistiy.
The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself 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;
Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp 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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”
19 Am-bavatane’ i Elà ao t’i Saole rekets’ iereo naho o ana’ Israele iaby mialy amo nte-Pilistioo.
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting 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.
David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 Songa nandahatse lahindefoñe t’Israele naho o nte-Pilistio, lahindefo miatre-dahindefoñe.
Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
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,
David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
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.
As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.
24 Ie nahaisak’ aze o lahindefo’ Israele iabio le nivoratsake hisitak’ ama’e, fa loho nihembañe.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were 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.
The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-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?
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 Le tinoi’ ondatio amo hoe zao, t’ie: Izay ty hanoañe indaty mahavono azey.
The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills 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.
Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
29 Hoe t’i Davide: Ino ze o nanoeko, tsy nirehak’ avao hao?
David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”
30 Le niambohoa’e naho nitolik’ ami’ty ila’e naho nañontane i hoe zay indraike; fe natoi’ ondatio aze ty manahake i teoy.
He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
31 Aa ie nijanjiñeñe o saontsi’ i Davideo, le nahereñe aolo’ i Saole i enta’ey; vaho nasese mb’eo re.
When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
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.
David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of 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.
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 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,
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 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.
I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, 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. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies 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.
David said, “Yahweh, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! Yahweh will 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.
Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
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.
David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
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.
He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
41 Niheo mb’amy Davide mb’eo i nte-Pilistiy, niharine, niaolo aze i mpinday fikala’ey.
The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42 Jinilojilo i nte-Pilistiy le naharendreke i Davide naho nitorifiha’e fa ajalahy mena, soa-vintañe.
When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
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.
The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” 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.
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 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.
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom 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.
Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may 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 that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
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,
When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
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.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
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 with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.
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.
Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, 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.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai 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 Ie nimpoly amy fañoridà’ iareo o nte-Pilistioy o ana’ Israeleo le fonga kinopa’ iareo ty vara an-tobe’ o nte-Pilistio.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered 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.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor 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.
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 your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
56 Hoe i mpanjakay, Rendreho te ana’ ia i ajalahiy.
The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man 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.
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 Nañontane aze t’i Saole: O ajalahio, ana’ ia v’iheo? Ana’ i mpitoro’o Iisay nte-Betelekemey, hoe t’i Davide.
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
