1 Samweli 17
1 Basi Wafilisti walikusanya majeshi yao kwa ajili ya vita. Walikusanyika huko Soko, iliyoko Yuda. Nao wakapiga kambi kati ya Soko na Aseka katika Efesdamimu.
And they gathered [the] Philistines armies their for battle and they were gathered Socoh which [belongs] to Judah and they encamped between Socoh and between Azekah in Ephes Dammim.
2 Sauli na watu wa Israeli alijikusanya na kuweka kambi katika bonde la Ela, na wakapanga vita kukutana na Wafilisti.
And Saul and [the] man of Israel they were gathered and they encamped in [the] valley of Elah and they deployed battle to meet [the] Philistines.
3 Wafilisti walisimama juu ya mlima upande mmoja, na Iraeli nao walisimama juu ya mlima upande mwingine wakitenganishwa na bonde kati yao.
And [the] Philistines [were] standing to the mountain from this and Israel [were] standing to the mountain from this and the valley [was] between them.
4 Mtu mmoja mwenye nguvu akatoka katika kambi ya Wafilisti, mtu huyo aliitwa Goliathi wa Gathi, kimo chake mikono sita na shubiri moja.
And he came out [the] man of the champions from [the] camps of [the] Philistines [was] Goliath name his from Gath height his [was] six cubits and a span.
5 Alikuwa na chepeo ya shaba kichwani mwake, na alivaa dirii ya chuma. Hiyo dirii ilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli elfu hamsini za shaba.
And a helmet of bronze [was] on head his and body armor of scales he [was] clothed and [the] weight of the body armor [was] five thousand shekels bronze.
6 Alikuwa na mabampa ya shaba kwenye miguu yake na mkuki wa shaba katikati ya mabega yake.
And leg armor of bronze [was] on feet his and a javelin of bronze [was] between shoulders his.
7 Ule mpini wa mkuki wake ulikuwa mkubwa, wenye kamba iliyo na kitanzi kwa ajili ya kuutupia kama kamba ya sindano ya mfumaji. Kichwa cha mkuki wake kilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli mia sita za chuma. Aliyembebea ngao alitembea mbele yake.
(And [the] wood of *Q(K)*) spear his [was] like a beam of weavers and [the] blade of spear his [was] six hundred shekels iron and [the] bearer of the body shield [was] walking before him.
8 Alisimama akayapigia kelele majeshi ya Israeli, “Kwa nini mmekuja na mmejipanga kwa ajili ya vita? Mimi si Mfilisti, na ninyi si watumishi wa Sauli? Chagueni mtu kutoka kwenu ateremke na kuja kwangu.
And he stood and he called out to [the] battle lines of Israel and he said to them why? do you come out to deploy battle ¿ not [am] I the Philistine and [are] you? servants of Saul commission for yourselves a man so he may come down to me.
9 Kama anaweza kupigana nami na kuniua, hapo ndipo tutakuwa watumwa wenu. Lakini kama nitamshinda na kumuua, basi mtakuwa watumwa wetu na kututumikia.”
If he will be able to fight with me and he will strike down me and we will become of you slaves and if I I will prevail to him and I will strike down him and you will become of us slaves and you will serve us.
10 Mfilisti huyo akasema tena, “Leo ninayapa changamoto majeshi ya Israeli. Mnipe mtu ili tuweze kupigana naye.”
And he said the Philistine I I defy [the] battle lines of Israel the day this give to me a man so let us fight together.
11 Sauli na Israeli wote waliposikia alichosema Mfilisti huyo, walikata tamaa na kuogopa sana.
And he heard Saul and all Israel [the] words of the Philistine these and they were dismayed and they were afraid exceedingly.
12 Basi Daudi alikuwa mwana wa Mwefraimu wa Bethtelehemu ya Yuda, aliyeitwa Yese. Naye alikuwa na watoto wanane wa kiume. Yese alikuwa mtu mzee katika siku za Sauli, mwenye umri mkubwa kati ya watu.
And David [was] a son of a man an Ephrathite this from Beth-lehem Judah and name his [was] Jesse and [belonged] to him eight sons and the man in [the] days of Saul he was old he had gone among men.
13 Watoto watatu wakubwa wa Yese walimfuata Sauli vitani. Majina ya watoto wake watatu waliokwenda vitani yalikwa ni Eliabu mzaliwa wa kwanza, aliyemfuata Abinadabu, na watatu aliitwa Shama.
And they had gone [the] three [the] sons of Jesse old they had gone after Saul to battle and [the] name of - [the] three of sons his who they had gone in the battle [was] Eliab the firstborn and second his [was] Abinadab and the third [was] Shammah.
14 Daudi ndiye aliyekuwa mdogo kabisa. Hao wakubwa watatu walimfuata Sauli.
And David he [was] the young and three old they had gone after Saul.
15 Basi Daudi alikwenda na kurudi akipita kati ya majeshi ya Sauli akiwa na kondoo za baba yake huko Bethtelehemu, ili kuwachunga.
And David [was] going and [was] returning from with Saul to shepherd [the] flock of father his Beth-lehem.
16 Kwa muda wa siku arobaini yule Mfilisti mwenye nguvu alikuwa akijitokeza asubuhi na jioni kwa ajili ya vita.
And he drew near the Philistine rising early and [the] evening darkened and he took his stand forty day[s].
17 Kisha Yese akamwambia mwanawe Daudi, “Wapelekee kaka zako efa ya bisi na hii mikate kumi, na uzipeleke upesi kule kambini kwa ajili ya kaka zako.
And he said Jesse to David son his take please to brothers your [the] ephah of roasted grain this and ten bread[s] this and bring [them] quickly the camp to brothers your.
18 Pia peleka hizi jibini kumi kwa jemedari wa kikosi chao cha elfu. Ukawaangalie wako na hali gani kisha uniletee habari kuhusu wanavyoendelea vizuri.
And [the] ten [the] portions of milk these you will bring to [the] commander of the thousand and brothers your you will pay attention to welfare and pledge their you will take.
19 Kaka zako wako pamoja na Sauli na watu wote wa Israeli katika bonde la Ela, wanapigana na Wafilisti.”
And Saul and they and every man of Israel [are] in [the] valley of Elah fighting with [the] Philistines.
20 Daudi aliamka asubuhi na mapema na kuliacha kundi chini ya uangalizi wa mchungaji. Akachukua vile vitu na kuondoka, kama Yese alivyomwamuru. Akafika kambini wakati jeshi linaondoka kwenda uwanja wa vita wakipiga kelele za vita.
And he rose early David in the morning and he left the flock with a watchman and he lifted up and he went just as he had commanded him Jesse and he came the camp towards and the army which was going out to the battle line and they shouted a war cry in the battle.
21 Nao Israeli na Wafilisti walijipanga kivita, jeshi dhidi ya jeshi.
And it deployed Israel and [the] Philistines battle line to meet battle line.
22 Daudi aliviacha vitu vyake kwa mtunza mahitaji, akalikimbilia jeshi, na kuwasalimia kaka zake.
And he left David the baggage from with him on [the] hand of [the] keeper of the baggage and he ran the battle line and he came and he asked of brothers his to welfare.
23 Alipoongea nao, yule mtu mwenye nguvu, Mfilisti wa Gathi, jina lake Goliathi, akajitokeza kutoka majeshi ya Wafilisti, naye akasema maneno yaleyale kama hapo mwanzo. Naye Daudi akayasikia.
And he - [was] speaking with them and there! [the] man of the champions [was] coming up [was] Goliath the Philistine name his from Gath (from [the] battle lines of *Q(K)*) [the] Philistines and he spoke according to the words these and he heard David.
24 Watu wote wa Israeli walipomwona Goliathi, walimkimbia na waliogopa sana.
And every man of Israel when saw they the man and they fled from before him and they were afraid exceedingly.
25 Watu wa Israeli walisema, “Umemuona mtu huyu aliyejitokeza? Amekuja kuipa changamoto Israeli. Basi mfalme atampa mali nyingi mtu atakayemua, atamuozesha binti yake, na familia ya baba yake haitalipa kodi katika Israeli.”
And he said - [the] man of Israel ¿ have you seen the man who comes up this for to defy Israel [he is] coming up and it will be the man who he will strike down him he will make rich him the king - rich[es] great and daughter his he will give to him and [the] house of father his he will make free in Israel.
26 Daudi akawauliza watu waliosimama karibu naye, “Atafanyiwa nini mtu ambaye atamuua Mfilisti huyu na kuiondolea Israeli fedheha? Ni nani Mfilisti huyu asiyetahiriwa ayatukanaye majeshi ya Mungu aliye hai?”
And he said David to the men who were standing with him saying what? will it be done for the man who he will strike down the Philistine this and he will remove reproach from on Israel that who? [is] the Philistine uncircumcised this that he has defied [the] battle lines of God living.
27 Ndipo watu wakarudia kile walichokuwa wamesema na kumwambia, “Ndivyo iitakavyofanyika kwa mtu atakayemuua.”
And it said to him the people according to the manner this saying thus it will be done for the man who he will strike down him.
28 Kaka yake mkubwa Eliabu, alisikia wakati akisema na watu. Hasira ya Eliabu ikawaka moto dhidi ya Daudi, naye akamuuliza, “Kwa nini umekuja hapa? Wale kondoo wachache umewaacha na nani huko nyikani? Nakijua kiburi chako, na utundu wa moyo wako; maana umekuja hapa ili uweze kuona mapigano.”
And he heard Eliab brother his old when spoke he to the men and it burned [the] anger of Eliab on David and he said - why? this have you come down and with whom? have you left [the] fewness of the sheep those in the wilderness I I know arrogance your and [the] wickedness of heart your that so as to see the battle you have come down.
29 Naye Daudi akamjibu, “Nimefanya nini sasa? Mimi si nuliuliza swali tu?
And he said David what? have I done now ¿ not a word [was] it.
30 Akamgeukia mtu mwingine na kumwacha huyo, na kusema vivyo hivyo. Nao watu wakajibu vilevile kama mwanzo.
And he turned away from beside him to [the] front of another [person] and he said according to the manner this and they brought back him the people word according to the word the former.
31 Maneno aliyosema Daudi yaliposikika, askari waliyasema tena kwa Sauli, naye akawatuma kwa Daudi.
And they were heard the words which he spoke David and people told before Saul and he sent for him.
32 Kisha Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Pasiwepo moyo wa mtu atakayezimia kwa sababu ya Mfilisti huyo; Mtumishi wako atakwenda kupigana na Mfilisti huyu.”
And he said David to Saul may not it fall [the] heart of anyone on him servant your he will go and he will fight with the Philistine this.
33 Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Huwezi kumpinga Mfilisti ama kupigana naye; wewe ni kijana tu, na yeye amekuwa mtu wa vita tangu ujana wake.”
And he said Saul to David not you will be able to go against the Philistine this to fight with him for [are] a youth you and he [is] a man of war since youth his.
34 Lakini Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Mtumishi wako alikuwa akichunga kondoo za baba yake. Mara simba au dubu alikuja akamchukua mwana kondoo kutoka kundini,
And he said David to Saul shepherding he was servant your for father his the flock and it came the lion and with the bear and it carried off a sheep from the flock.
35 Nilimfukuza na kumshambulia na kumpokonya kutoka kinywani mwake. Na aliponirukia, nilimshika ndevu zake, nilimpiga, na kumuua.
And I went out after it and I struck it and I rescued [it] from mouth its and it rose up on me and I took hold on beard its and I struck it and I killed it.
36 Mtumishi wako amekwisha kmuua simba na dubu. N huyu Mfilisti asiyetahiriwa atakuwa kama mmoja wa wanyama hao, kwa kuwa ameyadharau majeshi ya Mungu aliye hai.”
Both the lion as well as the bear he has struck down servant your and he will be the Philistine uncircumcised this like one from them for he has defied [the] battle lines of God living.
37 Daudi akasema, “BWANA aliyeniokoa kutoka makucha ya simba na makucha ya dubu. Ataniokoa kutoka mkono wa Mfilisti huyu.” Kisha Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Nenda, BWANA awe pamoja nawe.”
And he said David Yahweh who he delivered me from [the] hand of the lion and from [the] hand of the bear he he will deliver me from [the] hand of the Philistine this. And he said Saul to David go and Yahweh he will be with you.
38 Sauli akamvika Daudi vazi lake la vita. Akamvika chepeo ya shaba kichwani pake, na akamvika koti la chuma.
And he clothed Saul David garments his and he put a helmet of bronze on head his and he clothed him body armor.
39 Daudi akaufunga upanga wake juu ya vazi la Sauli. Lakini hakuweza kutembea, kwa sababu hakupata mafunzo kwa mavazi hayo. Ndipo Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Siwezi kwenda kupigana nikiwa na haya, maana sikupata mafunzo kwa haya.” Kwa hiyo Daudi akayavua.
And he girded David sword his over garments his and he fell short to walk for not he had put to [the] test and he said David to Saul not I will be able to walk in these [things] for not I have put to [the] test and he removed them David from on himself.
40 Akachukua fimbo mkononi mwake na akachagua mawe matano laini kutoka katika kijito; akayaweka kwenye mfuko wake wa kichungaji. Kombeo lake lilikuwa mkononi akawa anamsogelea yule Mfilisti.
And he took stick his in hand his and he chose for himself five smooth [ones] of stones - from the wadi and he put them in [the] bag of shepherds which [belonged] to him and in the pouch and sling his [was] in hand his and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 Yule Mfilisti akaja na kumsogelea Daudi, mbeba ngao yake akiwa mbele yake.
And he came the Philistine coming and approaching to David and the man [the] bearer of the body shield [was] before him.
42 Mfilisti alipotazama kila upande na kumuona Daudi, akamdharau, maana alikuwa kijana tu, mwekundu, na umbo la kupendeza.
And he looked the Philistine and he saw David and he despised him for he was a youth and red with handsome of appearance.
43 Ndipo Mfilisti akamuuliza Daudi, “Je, mimi ni mbwa, hata ukanijia na fimbo? Naye Mfilisti kwa miungu yake akamlaani Daudi.
And he said the Philistine to David ¿ a dog [am] I that you [are] coming against me with sticks and he cursed the Philistine David by gods his.
44 Huyo Mfilisti akamwambia Daudi, “Njoo kwangu, na nyama yako nitawatupia ndege wa angani na wanyama wa mwituni.”
And he said the Philistine to David come! to me so let me give flesh your to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the field.
45 Daudi akamjibu Mfilisti, “Unaniijia kwa upanga, kwa mkuki na mkuki mdogo. Bali mimi nakuijia kwa jina la BWANA wa majeshi, Mungu wa Majeshi ya Israeli, uliyemdharau.
And he said David to the Philistine you [are] coming against me with sword and with spear and with javelin and I [am] coming against you in [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of [the] battle lines of Israel whom you have defied.
46 Leo BWANA atanipa ushindi dhidi yako, na nitakuua na kukiondoa kichwa chako kwenye kiwiliwili. Leo nitawapa ndege wa angani na wanyama wa mwituni walioko duniani mizoga ya jeshi la Wafilisti, ili dunia yote ijue kwamba yupo Mungu katika Israeli,
The day this he will deliver up you Yahweh in hand my and I will strike down you and I will remove head your from on you and I will give [the] corpse[s] of [the] army of [the] Philistines the day this to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the earth so they may know all the earth that there a God [belongs] to Israel.
47 na kusanyiko hili lote lijue kwamba BWANA hatoi ushindi kwa upanga wala kwa mkuki. Kwa kuwa vita ni ya BWANA, na atawaweka katika mkono wetu.”
So they may know all the assembly this that not by sword and by spear he saves Yahweh for [belongs] to Yahweh the battle and he will give you in hand our.
48 Mfilisti aliponyanyuka na kukaribia akutane na Daudi, ndipo Daudi akakimbia kwa haraka kuelekea jeshi la adui ili akutane naye.
And it was that he arose the Philistine and he came and he drew near to meet David and he hurried David and he ran the battle line to meet the Philistine.
49 Daudi aliweka mkono wake mfukoni, akachukua jiwe kutoka humo, akalitupa kwa kombeo, na likampiga Mfilisti kwenye paji la uso, akaanguka chini kifudifudi.
And he sent David hand his into the bag and he took from there a stone and he slung [it] and he struck the Philistine to forehead his and it sank the stone in forehead his and he fell on face his [the] ground towards.
50 Daudi alimshinda Mfilisti kwa kombeo na kwa jiwe moja. Alimpiga huyo Mfilisti na kumuua. Mkononi mwa Daudi hakukuwa na upanga.
And he was strong David more than the Philistine with the sling and with the stone and he struck down the Philistine and he killed him and [was] a sword there not in [the] hand of David.
51 Ndipo Daudi akakimbia akasimama juu ya Mfilisti na kutwaa upanga wake, akauchomoa kutoka alani, akamuua, na kukata kichwa chake kwa upanga huo.
And he ran David and he stood to the Philistine and he took sword his and he drew out it from sheath its and he killed him and he cut off with it head his and they saw the Philistines that he had died mighty [man] their and they fled.
52 Ndipo watu wa Israeli na wale wa Yuda wakaamka kwa kelele, na kuwafukuza Wafilisti kuvuka bonde na malango ya Ekroni. Na maiti za Wafilisti walilala katika njia iendayo Shaaraimu, na njia yote kuelekea Gathi na Ekroni.
And they arose [the] men of Israel and Judah and they shouted a war cry and they pursued the Philistines until coming you [to] Gath and to [the] gates of Ekron and they fell [those] slain of [the] Philistines on [the] way of Shaaraim and to Gath and to Ekron.
53 Watu wa Israeli wakarejea kutoka kuwafukuza Wafilisti, na wakateka nyara kambi yao.
And they returned [the] people of Israel from hotly pursuing after [the] Philistines and they plundered camps their.
54 Daudi akachukua kichwa cha Mfilisti na kukipeleka Yerusalemu, lakini akaliweka vazi la vita katika hema lake.
And he took David [the] head of the Philistine and he brought it Jerusalem and weapons his he put in own tent his.
55 Sauli alipomuona Daudi akienda kukabiliana na yule Mfilisti, akamwambia Abneri, jemedari wa jeshi, “Abneri, kijana huyu ni mtoto wa nani? Abneri akasema, “Kama uishivyo, mfalme, mimi sijui.”
And just as saw Saul David going out to meet the Philistine he said to Abner [the] commander of the army son of whom? this [is] the youth O Abner and he said Abner [by] [the] life of self your O king if I knew.
56 Naye mfalme akasema, “Waulize wanaoweza kufahamu, mvulana huyu ni kijana wa nani.”
And he said the king ask you son of whom? this [is] the youth.
57 Daudi aliporudi kutoka kumuua yule Mfilisti, Abneri alimchukuwa, na kumleta mbele ya Sauli akiwa na kichwa cha Mfilisti mkononi mwake.
And just as returned David from striking down the Philistine and he took him Abner and he brought him before Saul and [the] head of the Philistine [was] in hand his.
58 Sauli akamuuliza, “Kijana, wewe ni mtoto wa nani? Na Daudi akamjibu, “Mimi ni mtoto wa mtumishi wako Yese Mbethlehemu.”
And he said to him Saul son of whom? [are] you O youth and he said David [the] son of servant your Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite.
