1 AmaFilisti asebuthela amabutho awo impi; abuthana eSoko engeyakoJuda, amisa inkamba phakathi kweSoko leAzeka, eEfesi-Damimi.
Philisti lambong rhoek te coi uh thae tih caemtloek ham Judah khuikah Sokoh ah tingtun uh. Te vaengah Sokoh laklo neh Azekah laklo kah Ephesdammim ah Philisti rhoek te rhaeh uh.
2 USawuli lamadoda akoIsrayeli babuthana, bamisa inkamba esigodini seEla, bahlela impi ukumelana lamaFilisti.
Te dongah Saul neh Israel hlang te tingtun uh tih Elah ah rhaeh uh. Te phoeiah Philisti te doe hamla caemtloek rhong a paiuh.
3 AmaFilisti asesima entabeni ngapha, loIsrayeli wema entabeni ngale, lesigodi sasiphakathi kwabo.
Te vaengah Philisti te tlang pakhat ah pai tih Israel khaw tlang pakhat ah pai van. Amih laklo ah kolrhawk om.
4 Kwasekuphuma enkambeni yamaFilisti iqhawe; ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi weGathi; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisithupha lokwelulwa kweminwe.
Te vaengah Philisti rhaehhmuen lamloh pumlen hlang pakhat ha pawk. Anih tah Gath lamkah tih a ming ah Goliath ni. Anih kah a sang te dong rhuk neh khap at lo.
5 Kwakulekhowa lethusi ekhanda lalo; laligqoke ibhatshi lensimbi elilamaxolo; njalo isisindo sebhatshi lensimbi sasingamashekeli ethusi ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
A lu ah rhohum lumuek neh a caempho lip te a pueinak nah. Caempho te a khiing rhohum shekel thawng nga lo.
6 Njalo kwakulemigwamazi yethusi emibaleni yalo, lomkhonto wethusi phakathi laphakathi kwamahlombe alo.
A kho rhoi dongkah rhohum khocin neh a laengpang laklo ah rhohum soe om bal.
7 Loluthi lomkhonto walo lwalunjengogodo lomaluki, lengqamu yomkhonto walo yayingamashekeli ensimbi angamakhulu ayisithupha; lophatha isihlangu esikhulu wayehamba phambi kwalo.
A thaltang neh a caai tueng te hni tah tampai bangla om tih a caai sum te thi shekel ya rhuk neh a saii. Te vaengah photlinglen aka pom te a hmai ah cet.
8 Lema, lamemeza emaviyweni akoIsrayeli lathi kuwo: Liphumelani ukuzahlela impi? Kangisuye umFilisti yini, lani izinceku zikaSawuli? Zikhetheleni umuntu ehlele kimi.
Te phoeiah Israel caem rhoek te a pai thil tih a doek. Te vaengah amih te, “Balae tih caemtloek rhongpai ham na pawk uh, Philisti te kai moenih a? Nangmih, Saul kah sal rhoek loh namamih ham hlang coelh lamtah kai taengla ha suntla saeh.
9 Uba elakho ukulwa lami angibulale, sizakuba yizigqili zenu; kodwa uba mina ngimehlula ngimbulale, lizakuba yizigqili zethu, lisisebenzele.
Anih loh kai te hnueih hamla a na tih kai ng'ngawn atah nangmih taengah sal la ka om uh eh. Tedae anih te kai loh ka na tih ka ngawn atah kaimih taengah sal la na om uh vetih kaimih taengah na thotat uh ni,” a ti nah.
10 UmFilisti wasesithi: Mina ngiyaweyisa amaviyo akoIsrayeli lamuhla; nginikani indoda ukuze silwisane.
Te dongah Philisti loh, “Israel caem rhoek te tihnin ah kai loh ka veet coeng, kai taengah hlang m'pae saeh lamtah khat neh khat hnuei uh rhoi sih,” a ti nah.
11 Lapho uSawuli loIsrayeli wonke besizwa lamazwi omFilisti, batshaywa luvalo, besaba kakhulu.
Amih Philisti ol te Saul neh Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah rhihyawp uh tih bahoeng a rhih uh.
12 UDavida wayeyindodana yalowomEfrathi weBhethelehema-Juda, obizo lakhe lalinguJese; wayelamadodana ayisificaminwembili. Njalo lowomuntu wahamba njengomuntu omdala phakathi kwamadoda ensukwini zikaSawuli.
David tah Judah Bethlehem lamkah Ephraim hlang kah a capa ni. Anih Ephraim hlang kah a ming tah Jesse tih a taengah ca tongpa parhet om. Tekah hlang khaw Saul tue vaengah tah hlang lakli ah patong lamni a van coeng.
13 Asehamba amadodana amathathu kaJese amadala, amlandela uSawuli empini. Lamabizo amadodana akhe amathathu ayeyile empini ayenguEliyabi izibulo, lowesibili wakhe uAbinadaba, lowesithathu uShama.
Jesse ca rhoek khuikah a ham rhoek pathum loh Saul hnukah ah bang uh tih caemtloek la cet uh. Caemtloek la aka cet a ca pathum kah a ming tah; a cacuek Eliab, a pabae ah Abinadab neh, a pathum ah Shammah ni.
14 Njalo uDavida nguye owayelicinathunjana; lamathathu amadala alandela uSawuli.
Te vaengah David tah camoe pueng tih a ham pathum longni Saul hnuk a vai uh.
15 Kodwa uDavida wahamba wabuyela esuka kuSawuli ukuyakwelusa izimvu zikayise eBhethelehema.
Te dongah David te Saul taeng lamloh bal tih a napa kah boiva te luem puei ham Bethlehem la cet.
16 UmFilisti wayesondela-ke ekuseni kakhulu lantambama ezimisa okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
Philisti loh a thoh vanneh kholaeh duela thoeih uh tih khohnin sawmli khuiah a pai thil.
17 UJese wasesithi kuDavida indodana yakhe: Ake uthathele abafowenu i-efa lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lalezizinkwa ezilitshumi, ugijimele enkambeni kubafowenu.
Te vaengah Jesse loh a capa David te, “Vairhum cangnoek pakhat neh vaidam hluem rha he na maya rhoek taengla khuen lamtah na maya rhoek taengah rhaehhmuen la yong phai laeh.
18 Laleziziqa zetshizi ezilitshumi uziphathele induna yenkulungwane; ubone impilakahle yabafowenu, uthathe isibambiso kibo.
Sukkhal tlang rha te thawngkhat kah mangpa ham khuen pah. Na maya rhoek te sading kawng te hip lamtah amih kah mingphanah te han khuen,” a ti nah.
19 Njalo uSawuli, labo, lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli babesesigodini seEla besilwa lamaFilisti.
Te vaengah Saul neh amih Israel hlang boeih long tah Philisti te Elah ah a vathoh thil uh.
20 UDavida wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, watshiya izimvu kumlindi, wakuthatha wahamba njengokulaywa kwakhe nguJese. Wafika enqabeni yezinqola lapho ibutho liphuma ngamaviyo, bememezela impi.
David te mincang ah thoo tih boiva te aka dawn kung taengah a hlah. Te phoeiah sawn uh tih Jesse loh a uen bangla cet. Namtlak a paan hatah caem la aka khoong tatthai rhoek longtah caemtloek ham yuhui uh.
21 Njalo uIsrayeli lamaFilisti bahlela iviyo laqondana leviyo.
Te vaengah caem te caem neh mah hamla Israel neh Philisti loh rhong a pai.
22 UDavida wasetshiya impahla ezisuka kuye ngaphansi kwesandla somlindi wempahla, wagijimela eviyweni wafika wabuza abafowabo impilakahle.
David loh amah taengkah hnopai te hno khoem kut ah a tloeng tih caem lakli la yong. A pha vaengah a maya rhoek taengah sadingnah kawng te a dawt.
23 Esakhuluma labo, khangela, iqhawe lenyuka, ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi, umFilisti weGathi, laphuma emaviyweni amaFilisti, lakhuluma njengokwalawomazwi; loDavida wawezwa.
Amih neh a cal vaengah, pumlen hlang te pakcak ha thoeng. Anih tah Philisti caem lamkah Gath hlang la om. Philisti Goliath a ming nah tih tahae kah bangla olka a thui vaengah David loh a yaak.
24 Njalo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli athi embona lowomuntu ambalekela, esaba kakhulu.
Tekah hlang te Israel hlang boeih loh a hmuh uh vaengah bahoeng a rhih uh tih a mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh.
25 Amadoda akoIsrayeli athi-ke: Limbonile lowana umuntu owenyukileyo yini? Ngoba wenyukele ukweyisa uIsrayeli. Kuzakuthi-ke indoda ezambulala, inkosi izayinothisa ngenotho enkulu, iyinike lendodakazi yayo, lendlu kayise izayenza ikhululeke koIsrayeli.
Israel hlang longtah, “Israel veet ham aka thoeng hlang ke na hmuh uh a? Anih aka ngawn ham hlang ni a om atah halo saeh. Manghai kah khuehtawn te yet neh a boei sak phoeiah anih a canu pae saeh. A napa imkhui khaw Israel khuiah sayalh la khueh saeh,” a ti uh.
26 UDavida wasekhuluma emadodeni ayemi laye esithi: Kuzakwenziwani endodeni ebulala lumFilisti, isuse ihlazo koIsrayeli? Ngoba ungubani lumFilisti ongasokanga ukuthi aweyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo?
Te dongah David loh a taengkah aka pai hlang rhoek te a dawt tih, “Mulhing Pathen caem aka veet pumdul Philisti te unim? Hekah Philisti aka tloek tih Israel pum dongkah kokhahnah aka khoe hlang ham te balae a saii pa eh?,” a ti nah.
27 Abantu basebemphendula njengalelolizwi besithi: Kuzakwenziwa njalo endodeni embulalayo.
Te dongah anih ham pilnam loh hekah olka he a thui pah tih, “Anih aka ngawn hlang ham hekah he a saii pa ni,” a ti nah.
28 UEliyabi umnewabo omdala wezwa-ke lapho ekhuluma lamadoda; lentukuthelo kaEliyabi yavuthela uDavida, wathi: Wehleleleni lapha? Izimvu leziyana ezinlutshwana uzitshiye lobani egangeni? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziqhenya kwakho lobubi benhliziyo yakho; ngoba wehlele ukubona impi.
Hlang rhoek taengah a thui te a maya a ham Eliab loh a yaak vaengah Eliab kah thintoek te David taengla sai tih, “Hela balae nan loh, khosoek kah boiva a yol te khaw u taengah lae na hlah? Caemtloek hmuh ham na suntlak dongah na thinko kah na althanah neh na thaenah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
29 Kodwa uDavida wathi: Sengenzeni? Bekungasilizwi nje yini?
Tedae David loh, “Tahae ah Balae ka saii, tekah te ol moenih a?,” a ti nah.
30 Wasemfulathela, waya komunye, wakhuluma laye njengokwalelolizwi; abantu basebebuyisela impendulo kuye njengelizwi lakuqala.
Te phoeiah anih taeng lamkah te a tloe hmai la mael tih olka te koep a dawt hatah olka te lamhma kah olka bangla anih te pilnam loh a thuung.
31 Lapho sebewezwile amazwi uDavida awakhulumayo, bawakhuluma phambi kukaSawuli; wasememukela.
David kah a thui ol te a yaak uh vaengah, Saul kah mikhmuh la a phoe puei uh tih David amah te a tah.
32 UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kakungehluleki inhliziyo yomuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho izahamba iyekulwa lalowomFilisti.
Saul taengah David loh, “Anih kongah hlang lungbuei hal boel saeh. Na sal he cet vetih Philisti te a vathoh thil bitni,” a ti nah.
33 Kodwa uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ungeke waya kulumFilisti ukulwa laye; ngoba wena ungumfana, yena-ke uyindoda yempi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe.
Tedae David te Saul loh, “Philisti te na caeh thil ham coeng mahpawh, anih neh na hnueih uh rhoi ham khaw na camoe pueng, anih tah a camoe lamkah caemtloek hlang la om coeng,” a ti nah.
34 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Inceku yakho yayiselusa izimvu zikayise; lapho kwafika isilwane lebhere, kwathatha imvu emhlanjini,
Tedae David loh Saul taengah, “Na sal he a napa kah boiva taengah aka luem la om. Te vaengah sathueng neh vom halo tih tuping khuikah a koeng.
35 ngaphuma ngakulandela, ngakutshaya, ngayikhulula emlonyeni wakho; lapho kungivukela, ngakubamba ngendevu, ngakutshaya, ngakubulala.
Tedae a hnukah ka hlak tih ka ngawn, a ka khui lamkah te ka huul. Kai m'pai thil vaengah a hmuimul ah ka tuuk tih ka tloek dongah amah te duek.
36 Inceku yakho yabulala kokubili isilwane lebhere; lalo umFilisti ongasokanga uzakuba njengokunye kwakho, lokhu eyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Na sal long he sathueng neh vom khaw a tloek coeng. A hing Pathen kah caem aka veet pumdul Philisti te amih banglam ni a om,” a ti nah.
37 UDavida wathi futhi: INkosi eyangophula kuzipho lwesilwane lakuzipho lwebhere, yona izangophula esandleni salo umFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, leNkosi kayibe lawe.
Te phoeiah David loh, “BOEIPA loh sathueng kut lamkah neh vom kut lamloh kai n'huul coeng. Amah long ni Philisti kut lamkah kai n'huul eh?,” a ti nah. Te daengah David te Saul loh, “Cet lamtah BOEIPA loh nang taengah ha om nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
38 USawuli wasegqokisa uDavida izigqoko zakhe, wafaka ikhowa lethusi ekhanda lakhe, wamgqokisa ibhatshi lensimbi.
Te phoeiah Saul loh amah kah himbai te David a bai sak tih, a lu dongah rhohum lumuek a muek sak phoeiah caempho khaw a bai sak.
39 UDavida wasebhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezigqoko zakhe, walinga ukuhamba, ngoba wayengakuzamanga. UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kangilakho ukuhamba ngilalezizinto ngoba kangizizamanga. UDavida wasezikhumula kuye.
David loh a himbai soah a cunghang te a vah tih caeh hamla huel uh dae amah te noem uh tloel. Te dongah David loh Saul taengah, “He nen caeh ham ka coeng moenih, ka noem uh tloel,” a ti nah. Te dongah a pum dongkah aka om te David loh vik a pit.
40 Wasethatha umqwayi wakhe esandleni sakhe, wazikhethela amatshe amahlanu abutshelezi esifuleni, wawafaka esikhwameni sikamelusi ayelaso, ngitsho emxhakeni, lesavutha sakhe sasisesandleni sakhe, wasesondela kumFilisti.
Te dongah a kut dongkah a cunghol a khuen tih soklong kah lungto lungpuelh panga a coelh thil tih boiva aka tudawn hnopai dongkah sungkoi khuiah a yom. Te phoeiah a kut dongkah payai neh Philisti taengla thoeih.
41 UmFilisti wasehamba waya wasondela kuDavida; lomuntu ophethe isihlangu esikhulu wayephambi kwakhe.
A pha vaengah Philisti te cet phai tih David taengla a paan phai. Te vaengah Philisti hlang te a hmai ah hlang pakhat loh photlinglen a pom pah.
42 Kwathi umFilisti ekhangela ebona uDavida, wameyisa; ngoba wayengumfana njalo ebomvana elobuso obubukekayo.
Philisti loh a paelki vaengah David te a hmuh. Tedae camoe la om tih a lingphung la, a sakthen mueimae dongah David te a hnaep.
43 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi wena uze kimi ulezinduku? UmFilisti wasemqalekisa uDavida ngabonkulunkulu bakhe.
Te dongah David te Philisti loh, “Kai he ui tih a? Conghol neh kai taengla na pawk,” a ti nah tih a pathen ming neh David te Philisti loh a tap.
44 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Woza kimi, ngizanika inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zeganga inyama yakho.
Te phoeiah David te Philisti loh, “Ka taengla halo lamtah, na saa te vaan kah vaa neh kohong kah rhamsa taengla kam pae dae eh,” a ti nah.
45 UDavida wasesithi kumFilisti: Wena uza kimi ulenkemba, lomkhonto, lomdikadika; kodwa mina ngiza kuwe ngebizo leNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wamaviyo akoIsrayeli omeyisileyo.
Tedae David loh Philisti te, “Nang tah kai taengla cunghang neh, caai neh, soe neh na pawk, kai tah nang loh na veet Israel caem rhoek kah Pathen, caempuei Yahweh ming nen ni nang taengla ka pawk.
46 Lamuhla iNkosi izakuvalela esandleni sami, ngizakutshaya, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; nginike lamuhla inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti, ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu koIsrayeli.
Tihnin ah nang he BOEIPA loh kai kut dongah n'tloeng pawn ni. Te vaengah nang te kan ngawn vetih na pum dongkah na lu te kang rhaih vetih Philisti lambong kah a rhok te tihnin ah vaan kah vaa neh diklai mulhing taengla ka paek ni. Te vaengah Israel lakli ah Pathen om tila diklai pum loh a ming ni.
47 Lalelibandla lonke lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi kayisindisi ngenkemba langomkhonto; ngoba impi ngeyeNkosi, njalo izalinikela esandleni sethu.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh cunghang neh, caai neh a khang moenih tila hlangping loh boeih a ming ni. BOEIPA kah caemtloek la a om dongah nang te kaimih kut dongla m'paek ni,” a ti nah.
48 Kwasekusithi lapho umFilisti esukuma ehamba esondela ukuhlangabeza uDavida, uDavida wasephangisa wagijimela ngaseviyweni ukuhlangana lomFilisti.
Te vaengah Philisti te thoo tih cet phai. David te doe hamla a moeh. Tedae David te cu tih Philisti doe hamla caem te a yong thil.
49 UDavida wasefaka isandla sakhe esikhwameni, wakhupha khona ilitshe, walijikijela, wamtshaya umFilisti ebunzini lakhe ilitshe laze latshona ebunzini lakhe, wawela emhlabathini ngobuso bakhe.
David loh a hno khuila a kut a puei. Te lamkah lungto te a loh tih a dong hatah Philisti te a tal ah a dae. A tal dongah lungto kun tih a hmai longah diklai la cungku.
50 Ngalokho uDavida wamehlula umFilisti ngesavutha langelitshe, wamtshaya umFilisti, wambulala; kodwa kwakungelankemba esandleni sikaDavida.
Philisti te David loh payai neh, lungto neh a cuuk thil. Philisti te a dae tih a duek sak vaengah David kut dongah cunghang a om moenih.
51 Ngakho uDavida wagijima wema phezu komFilisti, wathatha inkemba yakhe, wayihwatsha esikhwameni sayo, wambulala, waquma ikhanda lakhe ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo selifile, abaleka.
David te yong tih Philisti te a pai thil. A capang khuikah cunghang te a tuuk tih a bong phoeiah anih te a duek sak. Te neh a lu a rhaih pah vaengah tah a hlangrhalh duek coeng tila a hmuh uh tih Philisti rhoek khaw rhaelrham uh.
52 Lamadoda akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda asukuma amemeza, axotshana lamaFilisti uze uyefika esigodini lemasangweni eEkhironi. Labalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawela endleleni yeShaharayimi kuze kube seGathi njalo kuze kube seEkhironi.
Te vaengah Israel neh Judah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih yuhui uh. Te phoeiah kolrhawk neh Ekron vongka la aka pawk Philisti rhoek te a hloem uh. Te dongah Philisti kah a rhok he Shaaraim longpuei neh Gath, Ekron duela yalh.
53 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebephenduka ekuxotshaneni ngamandla lamaFilisti, baphanga inkamba zawo.
Philisti a hlak uh lamkah a bal uh phoeiah Philisti rhaehhmuen te Israel ca loh a reth.
54 UDavida wasethatha ikhanda lomFilisti, waliletha eJerusalema; kodwa wabeka izikhali zakhe ethenteni lakhe.
Philisti kah a lu te David loh a loh tih Jerusalem la a khuen. Tedae a hnopai te tah a dap ah a khueh pah.
55 Lapho uSawuli ebona uDavida ephuma ukuyahlangabeza umFilisti, wathi kuAbhineri induna yebutho: Uyindodana kabani lumfana Abhineri? UAbhineri wasesithi: Kuphila komphefumulo wakho, nkosi, kangazi.
Philisti doe hamla David a caeh te a hmuh vaengah Saul loh caempuei mangpa Abner te, “Ke camoe u ca lae?” a ti nah. Abner loh, “Manghai, nang kah hinglu tah hingnah pai ni, anih te ka ming oeh pawh,” a ti nah.
56 Inkosi yasisithi: Buza wena ukuthi liyindodana kabani lelijaha.
Te dongah manghai loh, “Camoe ke u ca lae? Namah loh dawt lah,” a ti nah.
57 Lapho uDavida esephendukile ekubulaleni umFilisti, uAbhineri wamthatha, wamusa phambi kukaSawuli elekhanda lomFilisti esandleni sakhe.
Te dongah Philisti ngawn lamkah aka mael David te Abner loh a loh tih Saul kah mikhmuh ah a pawk puei. Te vaengah Philisti lu te a kut dongah a pom.
58 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Uyindodana kabani, jaha? UDavida wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yenceku yakho uJese umBhethelehema.
Te phoeiah Saul loh, “Cadong nang he u ca lae?” a ti nah. Te vaengah David loh, “Na sal Bethlehem Jesse capa,” a ti nah.
