1 Samuel 17
1 Afei, Filistifo boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ Soko a ɛwɔ Yuda sɛ wɔrebɛko. Wɔkyeree nsraban wɔ Soko ne Aseka ntam wɔ Efes-Damim.
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tau ke tau, pea naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi Soko ʻaia ʻoku ʻo Siuta, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Soko mo ʻAseka ʻi ʻEfesi-Tamemi.
2 Saulo yɛɛ saa ara, boaboaa ne dɔm ano wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Ela bon.
Pea kuo kātoa fakataha ʻa Saula mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau ʻapitanga ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, ʻonau fakanofonofo ʻae tau ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia.
3 Filistifo faa bepɔw baako, na Israelfo no nso faa baako a obon no da wɔn ntam.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea tuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he potu kehe: pea naʻe ai ʻae teleʻa ʻi hona vahaʻa.
4 Ɔbarima tenten hoɔdenfo bi a ne din de Goliat a ofi Gat no pue fii Filistifo no nsraban mu bae. Na ne tenten bɛboro anammɔn akron.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mei he ʻapitanga ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻae tangata toʻa, ko Kolaiate ʻo Kati hono hingoa, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma tolu hono māʻolunga.
5 Na ɔhyɛ kɔbere kyɛw, hyɛ kɔbere akotade a akode bobɔ mu, na emu duru yɛ kilogram aduonum ason.
Pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae tatā palasa, pea naʻe kofu ia ʻaki ʻae kofu palasa: pea ko e fakatatau ʻo hono kofu ko e sikeli palasa ʻe nima afe.
6 Na nʼanan nso, kɔbere nkatanan kata ho na kɔbere peaw nso sɛn nʼakyi.
Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae palasa ʻa hono vaʻe pea naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono uma ha sifa palasa.
7 Na ne peaw ano dade no te sɛ ntamanwemfo nsadua mu abaa, na ano dade no kari dwetɛ kilogram ason. Na ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
Pea ko e kau ʻo hono tao naʻe hangē ko e ʻakau fakamaʻunga ʻae tangata lalanga; pea ko hono mamafa ʻoe ʻulu ʻo hono tao ko e sikeli ʻaione ʻe onongeau: pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ʻi hono ʻao ke fua ʻae pā.
8 Goliat begyinaa hɔ teɛɛ mu guu Israelfo no so se, “Asraafo yi nyinaa na morebɛko ana? Munyi mo mu baako na ɔmmɛko mma mo, na me nso mesi Filistifo anan mu. Yɛbɛko de awie asɛm no ka!
Pea naʻe tuʻu ia ʻo kalanga ki he ngaahi tau ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu ke fakatoka ai ʻae tau? ʻIkai ko e Filisitia au, pea mo kimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Saula? Fili ha tangata maʻamoutolu, pea tuku ke ʻalu hifo ia kiate au.
9 Sɛ mo nipa no tumi kum me a, yɛbɛyɛ mo nkoa. Na sɛ mikum no a, mobɛyɛ yɛn nkoa.”
Kapau ʻoku mafai ʻe ia ke ma tau mo au, pea ne tāmateʻi au, pehē te mau hoko ho hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki: pea kapau te u mālohi au kiate ia, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, te mou hoko ko ʻemau kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te mou tauhi ʻakimautolu.”
10 Filistini no kae se, “Memmfa Israel asraafo nyɛ hwee, momma me ɔbarima a ɔne me bɛko.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia, “ʻOku ou sipitau ki he ngaahi tau ʻo ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni; tuku mai ha tangata ke ma fai mo au.”
11 Bere a Saulo ne Israelfo tee eyi no wɔbɔɔ huboa na wɔn ho popoe.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Saula mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki he ngaahi lea ko ia ʻae tangata Filisitia, naʻa nau ilifia mo manavahē lahi.
12 Na Dawid yɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yisai a ɔyɛ Efratni na ofi Betlehem wɔ Yuda asase so no babarima. Na Yisai wɔ mmabarima baawɔtwe, na Saulo bere so no, na wabɔ akwakoraa a ne mfe a wadi no kɔ anim yiye.
Pea ko Tevita ko e foha ia ʻoe tangata ʻo Efalata ʻo Petelihema, ko hono hingoa ko Sese; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko valu: pea naʻe lau ʻae tangata ko ia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saula.
13 Na Yisai mmabarima mpanyimfo baasa na wodii Saulo akyi kɔɔ ɔko no. Na abakan no din de Eliab, nʼakyi ba din de Abinadab, na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no din de Sama.
Pea naʻe muimui ʻia Saula ki he tau ʻae ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Sese naʻe tuʻukimuʻa; pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono foha ʻe toko tolu naʻe ʻalu ki he tau, ko Iliape ko e ʻuluaki ia, pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻApinatapi, pea ko hono toko tolu ko Sama.
14 Dawid de, na ɔno ne akumaa koraa. Mpanyimfo baasa no na wodii Saulo akyi,
Pea ko e kimui ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe muimui ʻia Saula ʻae taʻokete ʻe toko tolu.
15 nanso na Dawid di akɔneaba; ɔkɔsom Saulo na wakɔhwɛ nʼagya nguan wɔ Betlehem nso.
Ka naʻe hiki ʻa Tevita meia Saula ke toe ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamai ʻi Petelihema.
16 Filistini yi pue mema ne ho so wɔ Israelfo asraafo nʼanim anɔpa ne anwummere, saa ara adaduanan.
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, ʻo ne fakahā ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu.
17 Da koro bi, Yisai ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Fa nkyewe lita aduonu abien yi ne brodo mua du yi kɔma wo nuabarimanom.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sese ki hono foha ko Tevita, “Ko eni, ke ke ʻave ki ho ngaahi taʻokete ʻae efa ʻe taha ʻoe uite tunu ni, mo e foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu, pea ke lele ki he ʻapitanga ki ho kāinga;
18 Na fa kyiisi du a wɔatwitwa yi ma ɔsafohene no. Ɛyɛ a hwɛ sɛnea wo nuabarimanom no ho te, na gye krataa fi wɔn nkyɛn brɛ me.
Pea ke ʻave ʻae ngaahi siisi ʻe hongofulu ki he ʻeiki ʻo ʻenau toko afe, pea vakai, pe ʻoku fēfē ʻa ho ngaahi taʻokete, pea ke maʻu ʻenau popōaki.
19 Na Dawid nuanom ne Israel asraafo no wɔ Ela bon no mu a wɔreko atia Filistifo.”
Pea ko eni, ko Saula mo kinautolu, mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, ke tau mo e kakai Filisitia.”
20 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Dawid gyaw nguan no maa oguanhwɛfo bi na ɔfaa akyɛde no kɔe. Oduu nsraban mu hɔ bere a na asraafo no rekɔ mpasua ahorow no so. Wɔrekɔ no, na wɔreto asafonnwom reteɛteɛ mu.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo ne tuku ʻae fanga sipi ki he tangata ke leʻohi, pea naʻe teu, ʻo ʻalu ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sese kiate ia; pea naʻe hoko atu ia ki he keli, ʻo feʻunga mo ʻene ʻalu atu ʻae tau ke tau, mo ʻenau kaila ki he tau.
21 Na Israel ne Filistifo no rebɛn a wodi nhwɛanim.
He naʻe ʻosi hono fakaʻotu ʻae tau ʻe ʻIsileli mo e kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe fehāngaaki ʻae tau ki he tau.
22 Dawid gyaw ne nneɛma maa akode sohwɛfo no, yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ akono hɔ kokyia ne nuanom.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe tokonaki ki he nima ʻoe tangata leʻo koloa, ka ka lele ia ki he tau, pea naʻe hoko atu ia ʻo ne feʻiloaki mo hono ngaahi taʻokete.
23 Bere a Dawid ne wɔn rekasa no, Filistini tenten hoɔdenfo Goliat a ofi Gat, fii Filistifo asraafo no mu teɛteɛɛ mu ahantan so kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kei talanoa, vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fuʻu toʻa ko e tangata Filisitia ʻo Kati, ko Kolaiate hono hingoa, mei he ngaahi tau ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe lea ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi lea muʻa: pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Tevita.
24 Bere a Israelfo no huu ɔbarima no, wɔn nyinaa de ehu guan kɔe.
Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau hola meiate ia, pea manavahē lahi.
25 Afei, na Israelfo keka wɔ wɔn mu se, “Woahu ɔbran no? Ɔba bɛkasa tia Israel da biara. Na woate akatua a ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde bɛma obiara a obetumi akum no no? Ɔhene ahyɛ sɛ ɔde ne babea bɛma no aware, na ne fifo nso, ɔhene remma wontua tow biara a wogye no Israelman mu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo mou mamata ki he tangata ni kuo ʻalu hake? Ko e moʻoni kuo ʻalu hake ia ke luki ki ʻIsileli: ka ʻe ʻilonga ʻae tangata ʻe tāmateʻi ia, ʻe fakakoloa ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki ʻae koloa lahi, pea ʻe foaki kiate ia hono ʻofefine, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāina ʻae fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi ʻIsileli.”
26 Dawid bisaa mmarima a wogyina ne ho no se, “Dɛn na mobɛyɛ ama ɔbarima a obekum saa Filistini yi, na ɔnam so ayi saa animguase yi afi Israel so? Hena ne saa Filistini bosonsomni yi a ɛsɛ sɛ ogu Onyankopɔn Teasefo asraafo anim ase?”
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita ki he kau tangata naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻe fai ki he tangata ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻae Filisitia ko eni, pea ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae manuki mei ʻIsileli? He ko hai ʻae Filisitia taʻekamu ni koeʻuhi ke tuʻu ia ʻo luki ki he ngaahi kautau ʻae ʻOtua moʻui?”
27 Wotii asɛm a wɔaka dedaw no mu kyerɛɛ no se, “Nea woate dedaw no yɛ nokware. Ɛno na yɛbɛyɛ ama onipa a obekum ɔbran no.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau mo ia kuo lau, ʻo pehē, ʻE pehē pe hono fai ki he tangata te ne tāmateʻi ia.
28 Bere a Dawid nuapanyin Eliab tee sɛ ɔne mmarima no rekasa saa no, ne bo fuw no, na obisae se, “Adɛn nti na woaba ha? Na nguan kakra a wɔwɔ sare so no, wode wɔn gyaw hena? Minim sɛnea wogye wo ho di ne sɛnea wo komapirim te. Ɔko yi hwɛ ara nti na wobae.”
Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Iliape ko hono taʻokete ʻi heʻene lea ki he kau tangata; pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae ʻita ʻa Iliape kia Tevita, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā naʻa ke omi ai ki heni? Pea kuo ke tuku kia hai ʻae fanga sipi siʻi na ʻi he toafa? ʻOku ou ʻilo hoʻo fielahi, mo e kovi lahi ʻo ho loto; he kuo ke haʻu ki heni koeʻuhi ke ke mamata ki he tau.”
29 Dawid bisae se, “Mayɛ dɛn? Nti, ɛnsɛ sɛ mekasa mpo?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ko e hā kuo u fai? ʻIkai ʻoku ai hono ʻuhinga?”
30 Afei, ɔdan ne ho ne afoforo kɔkasae. Ɔde asɛm koro no ara bae, na mmarima no buaa no sɛnea wɔaka dedaw no.
Pea ne tafoki ia meiate ia ʻo hanga ki he tokotaha, ʻo toe lea ʻo pehē pe: pea naʻe toe tala kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua lea.
31 Asɛm a Dawid kaa no twaa nnipa bi asom, ma wɔkɔbɔɔ Saulo amanneɛ, enti ɔsoma kɔfrɛɛ no.
Pea ʻi heʻene ongoongo atu ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Tevita, naʻa nau fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula: pea naʻa ne fekau ke ʻomi ia.
32 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Mma hwee nhaw wo. Mɛkɔ na me ne Filistini yi akɔko.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “ʻOua naʻa ilifia ʻae loto ʻo ha tangata koeʻuhi ko ia; ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au te u ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia.”
33 Saulo buaa Dawid se, “Worentumi ne saa Filistini yi nko. Woyɛ abarimaa, nanso ɔno de, ɔyɛ ɔkofo fi ne mmofraase.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke mafai ke ʻalu ke tuʻu hake ʻo tauʻi ʻae Filisitia ni: he ko e tamasiʻi pe koe, ka ko e tangata tau pe ia talu ʻene kei siʻi.”
34 Na Dawid ka tii mu se, “Mahwɛ mʼagya nguan ara, na sɛ gyata anaa sisi bi ba sɛ ɔrebɛkyere oguan ba bi afi nguankuw no mu a,
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “Naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamai, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae laione mo e pea, ʻo puke ʻo ʻave ʻae ʻuhikiʻi lami mei he fanga sipi:

37 Awurade a ogyee me fii gyata ne sisi awerɛw ano no, ɔno ara na obegye me afi Filistini yi nsam.” Saulo penee so kae se, “Eye, kɔ. Awurade nka wo ho.”
Pea naʻe lea foki ʻa Tevita ʻo pehē, “Ko Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei he pesipesi ʻoe laione, mo e pesipesi ʻoe pea, te ne fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe Filisitia ni.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kia Tevita, “ʻAlu, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.
38 Afei, Saulo de ɔno ankasa akode maa Dawid. Ɔde kɔbere kyɛw ne akotade kaa ho.
Pea naʻe fakakofu tau ʻe Saula ʻa Tevita, “Pea ne ʻai ʻae tatā palasa ki hono ʻulu; pea ne ʻai kiate ia foki ʻae kofu palasa.
39 Dawid hyɛe, de afoa kyekyere taree so, tuu anammɔn bɛyɛ abien, kɔɔ nʼanim hwɛɛ sɛnea ɛte, efisɛ na ɔnhyɛɛ biribi a ɛte saa da. Afei, ɔkae se, “Merentumi mfa eyinom nhyehyɛ me ho nkɔ, efisɛ menhyɛɛ bi saa da.” Enti ɔworɔw ne nyinaa guu hɔ.
Pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻe Tevita ʻene heletā ʻituʻa ki he kofu tau, ʻo ne ʻahiʻahi ke ʻalu; he naʻe teʻeki ai te ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu mo e nāunau ni: he kuo ʻikai te u ʻahiʻahiʻi ia.” Pea naʻe vete ia ʻe Tevita ʻo ne tuku ia.
40 Ɔfaa kokwabo anum fii asuwa bi mu, de guu ne nguanhwɛfo kotoku mu. Ɔfaa ne nguanhwɛfo pema ne nʼahwimmo nko ara. Afei, osii kwan so sɛ ɔne Goliat rekɔko.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia hono tokotoko, ʻi hono nima, ʻo ne fili ʻae foʻi maka molemole ʻe nima mei he tafeʻanga, vai, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he kato ʻae tauhi sipi naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko e kato siʻi; pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻene makatā: pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ia ki he tangata Filisitia.
41 Goliat twiw pinii Dawid a ne nkatabokurafo di nʼanim.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻo ne ʻunuʻunu ke ofi kia Tevita: pea ko e tangata naʻe fua ʻae pā naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
42 Goliat huu Dawid no, obuu no abomfiaa.
Pea ʻi he fesiofaki ʻae tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne mamata kia Tevita, naʻa ne manuki kiate ia: he naʻe kei tamasiʻi pe ia, pea totototo, pea matamatalelei hono mata.
43 Ɔworoo so kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Meyɛ ɔkraman na wode pema aba me so?” Na ɔkaa nʼanyame din ntam de domee Dawid.
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia kia Tevita, “Ko e kulī au, kuo ke haʻu ai kiate au mo e ngaahi ʻakau?” Pea kapeʻi ʻe he tangata Filisitia ʻa Tevita ʻi hono ngaahi ʻotua.
44 Goliat kae se, “Bra mʼanim ha, na mede wo nam bɛma nnomaa ne nkekaboa.”
Pea pehē ʻe he tangata Filisitia kia Tevita, “Haʻu kiate au, pea te u ʻatu ho kakano ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe vao.”
45 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Filistini no se, “Wode afoa, peaw ne bɛmma na ɛreba me so, na me de, mede Asafo Awurade, Israel asraafo Nyankopɔn a woagu ne din ho fi no din na mede reba wo so.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita ki he tangata Filisitia, “ʻOku ke haʻu kiate au ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e tao, pea mo e pā: ka ʻoku ou ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ke polepole ki ai.
46 Nnɛ, Awurade bedi wo so nkonim, na mekum wo, atwa wo ti. Na mede Filistifo asraafo no afunu mama nnomaa ne nkekaboa, na wiase nyinaa behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn bi wɔ Israel!

47 Na obiara behu sɛ, Onyankopɔn mfa akode na egye ne nkurɔfo. Ɛyɛ ne ko, na ɛnyɛ yɛn ko. Awurade de wo bɛma yɛn!”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻe he fakataha ni kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae heletā mo e tao; he ʻoku ʻa Sihova ʻae tau, pea te ne tuku ʻakimoutolu ki homau nima.”
48 Goliat yɛɛ sɛ ɔreba Dawid so no, ntɛm ara, na Dawid nso tuu mmirika kohyiaa no.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae tangata Filisitia, pea haʻu ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke fakafetaulaki kia Tevita, naʻe fai vave ʻa Tevita ʻo lele atu ki he fuʻu tau ke fakafetaulaki atu ki he Filisitia.
49 Ɔde ne nsa hyɛɛ nguanhwɛfo kotoku no mu, yii kokwabo baako de hyɛɛ nʼahwimmo no mu tow ma ɛkɔbɔɔ Filistini no moma so. Kokwabo no wuraa Goliat tirim ma obu hwee, maa nʼanim kobutuw fam.
Pea naʻe ala ʻe Tevita hono nima ki heʻene kato, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻae foʻi maka, ʻo ne makataaʻi ia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae Filisitia ʻi hono foʻi laʻē, pea naʻe ngalo hifo ʻae maka ʻi hono ʻulu; pea ne tō ʻo tuʻu hono mata ki he kelekele.
50 Enti Dawid de ahwimmo ne kokwabo baako dii Filistini ɔkwabran no so.
Ko ia naʻe ikuna ʻe Tevita ʻae tangata Filisitia ʻaki ʻae makatā mo e foʻi maka, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae Filisitia, ʻo tāmateʻi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ha heletā ʻi he nima ʻo Tevita.
51 Dawid tuu mmirika kɔɔ Filistini no so kɔtwee nʼafoa fii ne boha mu. Dawid de afoa no kum no twaa ne ti. Bere a Filistifo huu sɛ wɔn kwabran no awu no, wɔtetew san wɔn akyi, guanee.
Pea ko ia naʻe lele ai ʻa Tevita ʻo tuʻu ki he tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne puke ʻene heletā ʻaʻana, ʻo unuhi ia mei hono ʻaiʻanga, ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻo ne tutuʻu ʻaki ia ʻa hono ʻulu. Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau Filisitia kuo mate honau toʻa, naʻa nau hola.
52 Afei, Israelfo no bɔɔ ose kɛse nkonimdi so, taa Filistifo no ara koduu Gat ne Ekron apon ano. Na Filistifo a wɔawuwu no afunu ne apirafo no gugu ɔkwan so, de fi Saaraim de koduu Gat ne Ekron.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻonau kaila, ʻonau tuli ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa, pea ki he ngaahi matapā ʻo Ekiloni. Pea naʻe tō ki lalo ʻae kau kafo ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he hala ki Sealeimi, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Kati mo Ekiloni.
53 Afei, Israelfo asraafo san wɔn akyi bɛbɔ wuraa Filistifo nsraban a wɔaguan afi hɔ no mu faa wɔn nneɛma.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻenau tuli ki he kakai Filisitia, ʻonau maumauʻi honau ngaahi fale ʻapitanga.
54 Dawid faa Goliat ti de kɔɔ Yerusalem, na ɔkoraa Filistini no akode wɔ ɔno ankasa ne ntamadan mu.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻulu ʻoe tangata Filisitia, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema; ka naʻa ne ʻai ʻene mahafutau ki hono fale fehikitaki.
55 Bere a Saulo huu Dawid sɛ ɔrekɔ Goliat anim no, obisaa Abner a na ɔyɛ nʼakofo sahene se, “Abner, hena ba ne saa aberante yi?” Abner buae se, “Nokware ni, minnim.”
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki he ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke tauʻi ʻae tangata Filisitia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia ʻApina ko e ʻeiki ʻo ʻene tau, ʻApina, “Ko e foha ʻo hai ʻae tamasiʻi ni?” Pea pehē ʻe ʻApina, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, ʻE tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa.”
56 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛyɛ a, bisa.”
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Ke ke fehuʻi koe, pe ko e foha ʻo hai ʻae tangata siʻi ni.”
57 Dawid kum Goliat akyi no, Abner de no brɛɛ Saulo a na ɔda so kita Filistini no ti no.
Pea ʻi he liu mai ʻa Tevita mei he tāmateʻi ʻoe tangata Filisitia, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe ʻApina, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he ʻao ʻo Saula mo e ʻulu ʻoe Filisitia naʻe ʻi hono nima.
58 Saulo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka biribi a ɛfa wʼagya ho kyerɛ me, me ba.” Na Dawid buae se, “Ne din de Yisai, na yɛte Betlehem.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula kiate ia, “Ko e foha koe ʻo hai?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Tevita, “Ko e foha [au ]ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Sese ko e tangata Petelihema.”
