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.
Forsothe Filisteis gaderiden her cumpenyes in to batel, and camen togidere in Socoth of Juda, and settiden tentis bitwixe Socoth and Azecha, in the coostis of Domyn.
2 Sauli na watu wa Israeli alijikusanya na kuweka kambi katika bonde la Ela, na wakapanga vita kukutana na Wafilisti.
Sotheli Saul and the men of Israel weren gaderid, and camen in to the valey of Terebynte, and dressiden scheltrun to fiyte ayens Filisteis.
3 Wafilisti walisimama juu ya mlima upande mmoja, na Iraeli nao walisimama juu ya mlima upande mwingine wakitenganishwa na bonde kati yao.
And Filisteis stoden aboue the hil on this part, and Israel stood on the hil on the tother part of the valey, that was bitwixe hem.
4 Mtu mmoja mwenye nguvu akatoka katika kambi ya Wafilisti, mtu huyo aliitwa Goliathi wa Gathi, kimo chake mikono sita na shubiri moja.
And a man, `sone of a widewe, whos fadir was vncerteyn, yede out of the `castels of Filisteis, Goliath bi name of Geth, of sixe cubitis heiy and a spanne; and a brasun basynet on his heed;
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 he was clothid with `an haburioun hokid, ether mailid; forsothe the weiyte of his haburioun was fyue thousynde siclis of bras;
6 Alikuwa na mabampa ya shaba kwenye miguu yake na mkuki wa shaba katikati ya mabega yake.
and he hadde `bootis of bras in the hipis, and a `scheld of bras hilide hise schuldris.
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.
Forsothe `the schaft of his spere was as the beem of webbis; forsothe thilke yrun of his spere hadde sixe hundrid siclis of yrun; and his squier yede bifor hym.
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 cried ayens the cumpenyes of armed men of Israel, and seide to hem, Why camen ye redi to batel? Whether Y am not a Filistei, and ye ben the seruauntis of Saul? Chese ye a man of you, and come he doun to syngulere batel;
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 may fiyte with me, and sleeth me, we schulen be `seruauntis to you; forsothe if Y haue the maystry, and sle hym, ye schulen be boonde, and `ye schulen serue vs.
10 Mfilisti huyo akasema tena, “Leo ninayapa changamoto majeshi ya Israeli. Mnipe mtu ili tuweze kupigana naye.”
And `the Filistei seide, Y haue `seyd schenschip to dai to the cumpenyes of Israel; yyue ye a man, and bigynne he `synguler batel with me.
11 Sauli na Israeli wote waliposikia alichosema Mfilisti huyo, walikata tamaa na kuogopa sana.
Sotheli Saul and alle men of Israel herden siche wordis of `the Filistey, and thei weren astonyed, and dredden greetli.
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.
Forsothe Dauid was `the sone of a man of Effrata, of whom it is `biforseid, of Bethleem of Juda, to `which man the name was Isay, which hadde eiyte sones; and `the man was eld in the daies of Saul, and of greet age 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.
Sotheli thre grettere sones of Ysai yeden after Saul in to batel; and the names of hise thre sones, that yeden to batel, Heliab, the firste gendryd, and the secounde, Amynadab, and the thridde, Samma.
14 Daudi ndiye aliyekuwa mdogo kabisa. Hao wakubwa watatu walimfuata Sauli.
Forsothe Dauid was the leeste. Therfor while thre grettere sueden Saul, Dauid yede,
15 Basi Daudi alikwenda na kurudi akipita kati ya majeshi ya Sauli akiwa na kondoo za baba yake huko Bethtelehemu, ili kuwachunga.
and turnede ayen fro Saul, that he schulde kepe the floc of his fadir in Bethleem.
16 Kwa muda wa siku arobaini yule Mfilisti mwenye nguvu alikuwa akijitokeza asubuhi na jioni kwa ajili ya vita.
Forsothe the Filistey cam forth in the morewtid, and euentid; and stood `bi fourti daies.
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.
Sotheli Ysai seide to Dauid his sone, Take thou to thi britheren meete maad of meele, the mesure of ephi, and these ten looues, and renne thou in to the castels to thi britheren;
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 thou schalt bere to the tribune these ten `litil formes of chese; and thou schalt visite thi britheren, whether thei doon riytli, and lurne thou, with whiche men thei ben ordeyned.
19 Kaka zako wako pamoja na Sauli na watu wote wa Israeli katika bonde la Ela, wanapigana na Wafilisti.”
Forsothe Saul, and thei, and alle the sones of Israel in the valei of Terebynte fouyten ayens Filisteis.
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.
Therfor Dauid roos eerli, and bitook the floc to the kepere, and he yede chargid, as Ysai `hadde comaundid to hym; and he cam to the place Magala, and to the oost, which oost yede out to the batel, and criede in `the batel.
21 Nao Israeli na Wafilisti walijipanga kivita, jeshi dhidi ya jeshi.
For Israel hadde dressid scheltrun; `but also Filisteis weren maad redi `euen ayens.
22 Daudi aliviacha vitu vyake kwa mtunza mahitaji, akalikimbilia jeshi, na kuwasalimia kaka zake.
Therfor Dauid lefte the vessels, whiche he hadde brouyt, vndur the hond of a kepere `at the fardels, and he ran to the place of batel, and he axyde, if alle thingis weren `doon riytli anentis hise britheren.
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 whanne he spak yit to hem, thilke bastard apperide, Goliath bi name, a Filistei of Geth, and stiede fro the castels of Filisteis; and `while he spak these same wordis, Dauid herde.
24 Watu wote wa Israeli walipomwona Goliathi, walimkimbia na waliogopa sana.
And whanne alle men of Israel hadden seyn `the man, thei fledden fro his face, and dredden hym greetli.
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 ech man of Israel seide, Whether thou hast seyn this man that stiede? for he stiede to seie schenship to Israel; therfor the kyng schal make riche with greet richessis `the man that sleeth thilke Filistei; and the kyng schal yyue his douyter to that man, and schal make the hows of his fader with out `tribut 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 Dauyd spak to the men that stoden with hym, and seide, What schal be youun to the man that sleeth this Filistei, and doith awei schenschip fro Israel? for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that dispiside the scheltruns of God lyuynge?
27 Ndipo watu wakarudia kile walichokuwa wamesema na kumwambia, “Ndivyo iitakavyofanyika kwa mtu atakayemuua.”
Forsothe the puple tolde to hym the same word, and seide, These thingis schulen be youun to the man that sleeth hym.
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 whanne Heliab, `his more brother, had herd this, while he spak with othere men, he was wrooth ayens Dauid, and seide, Whi camest thou, and whi `leftist thou tho fewe scheep in deseert? Y knowe thi pride, and the wewardnesse of thin herte; for thou camest doun to se the batel.
29 Naye Daudi akamjibu, “Nimefanya nini sasa? Mimi si nuliuliza swali tu?
And Dauid seide, What haue Y do? Whether it is not a word?
30 Akamgeukia mtu mwingine na kumwacha huyo, na kusema vivyo hivyo. Nao watu wakajibu vilevile kama mwanzo.
And Dauid bowide a litil fro hym to another man; and Dauid seide the same word, and the puple answeride to hym al word as bifore.
31 Maneno aliyosema Daudi yaliposikika, askari waliyasema tena kwa Sauli, naye akawatuma kwa Daudi.
Forsothe these wordis weren herd, whiche Dauid spak, and weren teld `in the siyt of Saul.
32 Kisha Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Pasiwepo moyo wa mtu atakayezimia kwa sababu ya Mfilisti huyo; Mtumishi wako atakwenda kupigana na Mfilisti huyu.”
And whanne Dauyd was brouyt to Saul, Dauyd spak to hym, The herte of ony man falle not doun for `that Filistei, Y thi seruaunt schal go, and `Y schal fiyte ayens the Filistei.
33 Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Huwezi kumpinga Mfilisti ama kupigana naye; wewe ni kijana tu, na yeye amekuwa mtu wa vita tangu ujana wake.”
And Saul seide to Dauid, Thou maist not ayenstonde this Filistei, nether fiyte ayens hym, for thou art a child; forsothe this man is a werriour fro his yong wexynge age.
34 Lakini Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Mtumishi wako alikuwa akichunga kondoo za baba yake. Mara simba au dubu alikuja akamchukua mwana kondoo kutoka kundini,
And Dauid seide to Saul, Thi seruaunt kepte `the floc of his fadir, and a lioun cam, ether a bere, and took awei a ram fro the myddis of the floc;
35 Nilimfukuza na kumshambulia na kumpokonya kutoka kinywani mwake. Na aliponirukia, nilimshika ndevu zake, nilimpiga, na kumuua.
Y pursuede, and killide hem, and rauyschide fro `the mouth of hem; and thei risiden ayens me, and I took the nether chaule `of hem, and Y stranglide, and killide hem.
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.”
For Y thi seruaunt killide bothe a lioun and a bere; therfor and this Filistei vncircumcidid schal be as oon of hem. Now Y schal go, and Y schal do awey the schenschip of the puple; for who is this Filistei vncircumcidid, that was hardi to curse the oost of God lyuynge?
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 Dauid seide, The Lord that delyuerede me fro the `mouth of the lioun, and fro the `hond, that is, power, of the bere, he schal delyuere me fro the hond of this Filistei. Forsothe Saul seide to Dauid, Go thou, and the Lord be with thee.
38 Sauli akamvika Daudi vazi lake la vita. Akamvika chepeo ya shaba kichwani pake, na akamvika koti la chuma.
And Saul clothide Dauid with hise clothis, and puttide a brasun basynet on his heed, and clothide hym with an haburioun.
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.
Therfor Dauid was gird with his swerd on his cloth, and bigan to asaie if he myyte go armed; for he hadde not custom. And Dauid seide to Saul, Y may not go so, for Y haue not vss. And Dauid puttide awei tho,
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 his staaf, which he hadde euere in the hondis. And he chees to hym fyue clereste stonys, that is, harde, pleyn, and rounde, of the stronde; and he sente tho in to the schepherdis scrippe, which he hadde with hym; and he took the slynge in the hond, and yede forth ayens the Filistei.
41 Yule Mfilisti akaja na kumsogelea Daudi, mbeba ngao yake akiwa mbele yake.
Sotheli the Filistei yede, `goynge and neiyyng ayens Dauid; and his squyer yede bifor hym.
42 Mfilisti alipotazama kila upande na kumuona Daudi, akamdharau, maana alikuwa kijana tu, mwekundu, na umbo la kupendeza.
And whanne `the Filistei hadde biholde Dauid, and hadde seyn hym, he dispiside Dauid; forsothe Dauid was a yong wexynge man, rodi, and feir in siyt.
43 Ndipo Mfilisti akamuuliza Daudi, “Je, mimi ni mbwa, hata ukanijia na fimbo? Naye Mfilisti kwa miungu yake akamlaani Daudi.
And `the Filistei, seide to Dauid, Whether Y am a dogge, for thou comest to me with a staf? And `the Filistei curside Dauid in hise goddis; and he seide to Dauid,
44 Huyo Mfilisti akamwambia Daudi, “Njoo kwangu, na nyama yako nitawatupia ndege wa angani na wanyama wa mwituni.”
Come thou to me, and Y schal yyue thi fleischis to the `volatilis of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe.
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.
Sotheli Dauid seide to `the Filistei, Thou comest to me with swerd, and spere, and scheeld; but Y come to thee in the name of the Lord God of oostis, of God of the cumpanyes of Israel, to whiche thou seidist schenschip to dai.
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,
And the Lord schal yyue thee in myn hond, and Y schal sle thee, and Y schal take awey thin heed fro thee; and I schal yyue the deed bodies of the castels of Filisteis `to day to the volatils of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe; that al the erthe wite, that the Lord God is in 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.”
and that al this chirche knowe, that the Lord saueth not in swerd nether in spere; for the batel is his, and he schal bitake you in to oure hondis.
48 Mfilisti aliponyanyuka na kukaribia akutane na Daudi, ndipo Daudi akakimbia kwa haraka kuelekea jeshi la adui ili akutane naye.
Therfor whanne the Filistei hadde rise, and cam, and neiyede ayens Dauid, Dauid hastide, and ran to batel ayens `the Filistei.
49 Daudi aliweka mkono wake mfukoni, akachukua jiwe kutoka humo, akalitupa kwa kombeo, na likampiga Mfilisti kwenye paji la uso, akaanguka chini kifudifudi.
And Dauid putte his hond `in to his scrippe, and he took o stoon, and he castide with the slynge, `and ledde aboute, and smoot `the Filistei in the forheed; and the stoon was fastned in his forheed, and he felde doun in to his face on the erthe.
50 Daudi alimshinda Mfilisti kwa kombeo na kwa jiwe moja. Alimpiga huyo Mfilisti na kumuua. Mkononi mwa Daudi hakukuwa na upanga.
And Dauid hadde the maistrie ayens `the Filistei `in a slyng and stoon, and he killide `the Filistei smytun. And whanne Dauid hadde no swerd in the hond,
51 Ndipo Daudi akakimbia akasimama juu ya Mfilisti na kutwaa upanga wake, akauchomoa kutoka alani, akamuua, na kukata kichwa chake kwa upanga huo.
he ran, and stood on `the Filistei, and took his swerd; and Dauid drow out the swerd of his schethe, and `killide him, and kittide awei his heed. Forsothe the Filisteis sien, that the strongeste of hem was deed, and thei fledden.
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 the sones of Israel and of Juda risiden to gidere, and crieden, and pursueden Filisteis, `til the while thei camen in to the valei, and `til to the yate of Accaron. And woundid men of Filisteis felden in the weye of Sarym, and `til to Geth, and `til to Accaron.
53 Watu wa Israeli wakarejea kutoka kuwafukuza Wafilisti, na wakateka nyara kambi yao.
And the sones of Israel turneden ayen, aftir that thei hadden pursuede Filisteis, and thei assailiden `the tentis of hem.
54 Daudi akachukua kichwa cha Mfilisti na kukipeleka Yerusalemu, lakini akaliweka vazi la vita katika hema lake.
Forsothe Dauid took the heed of `the Filistei, and brouyte it in to Jerusalem; sotheli he puttide hise armeris in the `tabernacle of the Lord.
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.”
Forsothe in that tyme in which Saul siy Dauid goynge out ayens `the Filistei, he seide to Abner, prince of his chiualrie, Abner, of what generacioun `cam forth this yong waxynge man? And Abner seide, Kyng, thi soule lyueth, I knowe not.
56 Naye mfalme akasema, “Waulize wanaoweza kufahamu, mvulana huyu ni kijana wa nani.”
And the kyng seide, Axe thou, whos sone this child is.
57 Daudi aliporudi kutoka kumuua yule Mfilisti, Abneri alimchukuwa, na kumleta mbele ya Sauli akiwa na kichwa cha Mfilisti mkononi mwake.
And whanne Dauid hadde come ayen, whanne `the Filistei was slayn, Abner took Dauid, and brouyte hym in, hauynge in the hond the heed of `the Filistei, `bifor Saul.
58 Sauli akamuuliza, “Kijana, wewe ni mtoto wa nani? Na Daudi akamjibu, “Mimi ni mtoto wa mtumishi wako Yese Mbethlehemu.”
And Saul seide to hym, Of what generacioun art thou, yong waxynge man? And Dauid seide, Y am the sone of thi seruaunt, Isai of Bethleem.
