1 Samuel 17
1 Nowe the Philistims gathered their armies to battell, and came together to Shochoh, which is in Iudah, and pitched betweene Shochoh and Azekah, in the coast of Dammim.
Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmoonganirie mbũtũ ciao cia mbaara, na magĩcicookanĩrĩria kũu Soko thĩinĩ wa Juda. Makĩamba hema ciao Efesi-Damimu, gatagatĩ ga Soko na Azeka.
2 And Saul, and the men of Israel assembled, and pitched in the valley of Elah, and put themselues in battell araie to meete the Philistims.
Saũlũ na andũ a Isiraeli makĩũngana, makĩamba hema ciao kĩanda-inĩ kĩa Ela, makĩĩhaarĩria ũrĩa mekũrũa na Afilisti.
3 And the Philistims stoode on a mountaine on the one side, and Israel stoode on a mountaine on the other side: so a valley was betweene them.
Afilisti magĩikara kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩmwe, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩikara kĩrĩa kĩngĩ, hagakĩgĩa kĩanda gatagatĩ kao.
4 Then came a man betweene them both out of the tents of the Philistims, named Goliath of Gath: his height was sixe cubites and an hande breadth,
Njamba ĩmwe yetagwo Goliathũ, ũrĩa woimĩte Gathu, akiumĩra hau kambĩ-inĩ ya Afilisti. Nake aarĩ na ũraihu wa makĩria ma buti kenda.
5 Aud had an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and a brigandine vpon him: and the weight of his brigandine was fiue thousand shekels of brasse.
Eekĩrĩte ngũbia ya gĩcango mũtwe, na akehumba nguo ya mbaara ya gĩcango ĩrĩ na ũritũ wa cekeri ngiri ithano;
6 And he had bootes of brasse vpon his legs, and a shield of brasse vpon his shoulders.
eyohete indo cia kũgitĩra mũthiimo cia gĩcango, na agacuuria kĩberethi gĩa gĩcango gatagatĩ ga ciande ciake.
7 And the shaft of his speare was like a weauers beame: and his speare head weyed sixe hundreth shekels of yron: and one bearing a shielde went before him.
Mũtĩ wa itimũ rĩake waiganaga ta mũtĩ wa mũtumi ngoora, nakĩo kĩgera kĩa mũtwe warĩo kĩarĩ na ũritũ wa cekeri magana matandatũ. Nake mũkuui wa ngo yake akamũthiĩ mbere.
8 And he stoode, and cried against the hoste of Israel, and saide vnto them, Why are yee come to set your battell in aray? am not I a Philistim, and you seruaunts to Saul? chuse you a man for you, and let him come downe to me.
Goliathũ akĩrũgama, akĩanĩrĩra kũrĩ itungati cia Isiraeli, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũũke mwĩyaare mĩhari ya mbaara? Githĩ niĩ ndikĩrĩ Mũfilisti, na inyuĩ githĩ mũtikĩrĩ ndungata cia Saũlũ? Thuurai mũndũ ũmwe mũreke aikũrũke oke kũrĩ niĩ.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then wil we be your seruants: but if I ouercome him, and kill him, then shall yee be our seruants, and serue vs.
Angĩhota kũrũa na niĩ na anjũrage-rĩ, ithuĩ tũgũtuĩka ndungata cianyu; no ndamũtooria na ndĩmũũrage-rĩ, inyuĩ mũgũtuĩka ndungata ciitũ na mũtũtungatagĩre.”
10 Also the Philistim saide, I defie the hoste of Israel this day: giue mee a man, that we may fight together.
Ningĩ Mũfilisti ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩndoogita itungati cia Isiraeli! Heei mũndũ tũrũe nake.”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those wordes of the Philistim, they were discouraged, and greatly afraide.
Rĩrĩa maiguire ciugo cia Mũfilisti ũcio, Saũlũ na andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩmaka, magĩĩtigĩra mũno.
12 Nowe this Dauid was the sonne of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem Iudah, named Ishai, which had eight sonnes: and this man was taken for an olde man in the daies of Saul.
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi aarĩ mũrũ wa Mũefiratha wetagwo Jesii, woimĩte Bethilehemu ya Juda. Jesii aarĩ na ariũ anana, na matukũ-inĩ ma Saũlũ aarĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ, agatindĩkanga mĩaka.
13 And the three eldest sonnes of Ishai went and followed Saul to the battel: and the names of his three sonnes that went to battell, were Eliab the Eldest, and the next Abinadab, and the thirde Shammah.
Ariũ atatũ a Jesii arĩa akũrũ nĩmathiĩte na Saũlũ mbaara-inĩ: Wa mbere eetagwo Eliabu; na wa keerĩ Abinadabu; na wa gatatũ Shama.
14 So Dauid was the least: and the three eldest went after Saul.
Daudi nĩwe warĩ mũnini wao. Acio atatũ akũrũ nĩmarũmĩrĩire Saũlũ,
15 Dauid also went, but hee returned from Saul to feede his fathers sheepe in Beth-lehem.
no Daudi agathiiaga gwĩ Saũlũ, na agacooka nĩguo akarĩithie ngʼondu cia ithe kũu Bethilehemu.
16 And the Philistim drew neere in the morning, and euening, and continued fourtie daies.
Ihinda rĩa matukũ mĩrongo ĩna Mũfilisti ũcio nĩoimagĩra o rũciinĩ na hwaĩ-inĩ, akarũgama akeyonithania harĩo.
17 And Ishai said vnto Dauid his sone, Take nowe for thy brethren an Ephah of this parched corne, and these ten cakes, and runne to the hoste to thy brethren.
Na rĩrĩ, Jesii akĩĩra mũriũ Daudi atĩrĩ, “Oya eba ĩno ya ngano hĩhie, na mĩgate ĩno ikũmi nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a nyũkwa, ũhiũhe ũcitware kũu kambĩ-inĩ.
18 Also carie these ten fresh cheeses vnto the captaine, and looke howe thy brethren fare, and receiue their pledge.
Nacio cienyũ ici ikũmi cia ngorono ũcitware kũrĩ mũnene wa gĩkundi kĩao. Ũkĩrore ũrĩa ariũ a nyũkwa matariĩ ũnjookerie ũhoro wao wa kũnyũmĩrĩria.
19 (Then Saul and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistims)
Na rĩrĩ, marĩ hamwe na Saũlũ na andũ othe a Isiraeli kĩanda-inĩ kĩa Ela makĩrũa na Afilisti.”
20 So Dauid rose vp earely in the morning, and left the sheepe with a keeper, and tooke and went as Ishai had commanded him, and came within the compasse of the hoste: and the hoste went out in araie, and shouted in the battell.
Kwarooka gũkĩa-rĩ, Daudi agĩtiga mbũri irĩ na mũrĩithi, akĩoya mĩrigo, akiumagara agĩthiĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jesii aamwathĩrĩire. Nake agĩkinya kambĩ-inĩ o rĩrĩa mbũtũ cia ita cioimagaraga ikangʼethanĩre, irĩ na mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara.
21 For Israel and the Philistims had put themselues in araie, armie against armie.
Andũ a Isiraeli na Afilisti maaharagĩria ita ciao igaikara ingʼethanĩire.
22 And Dauid left the things, which hee bare, vnder the handes of the keeper of the cariage, and ranne into the hoste, and came, and asked his brethren howe they did.
Nake Daudi agĩtiga indo iria aakuuĩte harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wamenyagĩrĩra indo, agĩtengʼera harĩa ikundi icio cia mbaara ciarĩ na akĩgeithia ariũ a nyina.
23 And as hee talked with them, beholde, the man that was betweene the two armies, came vp, (whose name was Goliath ye Philistim of Gath) out of the armie of the Philistims, and spake such woordes, and Dauid heard them.
Rĩrĩa aaragia nao, Goliathũ, njamba ĩyo ya Afilisti kuuma Gathu, ĩkiumĩra gĩkundi-inĩ kĩayo ĩkĩanagĩrĩra ciugo cia kũmoogita o ta ũrĩa yamenyerete, nake Daudi akĩigua.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they sawe the man, ranne away from him, and were sore afraied.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moonire mũndũ ũcio, othe makĩmũũrĩra marĩ na guoya mũnene.
25 For euery man of Israel saide, Sawe yee not this man that commeth vp? euen to reuile Israel is he come vp: and to him that killeth him, wil the king giue great riches, and will giue him his daughter, yea, and make his fathers house free in Israel.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli mooranagia atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũkuona ũrĩa mũndũ ũyũ aikaraga akiumagĩra? Oimagĩra nĩgeetha oogite Isiraeli. Mũthamaki nĩekũheana ũtonga mũingĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩmũraga. Nĩegũcooka ahe mũndũ ũcio mũirĩtu wake amũhikie, nayo nyũmba ya ithe ndĩgũcooka kũrĩha igooti thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.”
26 Then Dauid spake to the men that stoode with him, and sayde, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistim, and taketh away the shame from Israel? for who is this vncircumcised Philistim, that he shoulde reuile the hoste of the liuing God?
Daudi akĩũria andũ arĩa maarũngiĩ hakuhĩ nake atĩrĩ, “Atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũũraga Mũfilisti ũyũ, na ehererie Isiraeli thoni ici egwĩkwo atĩa? Mũfilisti ũyũ ũtarĩ mũruu nake nũũ, atĩ nĩguo oogite ita cia Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo?”
27 And the people answered him after this maner, saying, Thus shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Nao magĩcookera ũhoro ũcio maaragia, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo gũgwĩkwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũmũũraga.”
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was verie angrie with Dauid, and sayde, Why camest thou downe hither? and with whome hast thou left those fewe sheepe in the wildernesse? I knowe thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come downe to see the battell.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Eliabu, mũrũ wa nyina ũrĩa mũkũrũ, aamũiguire akĩaria na andũ acio-rĩ, agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wake, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũikũrũke gũkũ? Na nũũ ũratigĩire ngʼondu icio itarĩ nyingĩ kũu werũ-inĩ? Nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ mwĩtĩĩi, na ũrĩa ngoro yaku ĩrĩ maramari; ũikũrũkĩte gũkũ no ũndũ wa kwĩrorera mbaara.”
29 Then Dauid sayde, What haue I nowe done? Is there not a cause?
Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndagĩĩka atĩa? Anga ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwaria?”
30 And hee departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same maner, and the people answered him according to the former woordes.
Nake agĩcooka akĩhũgũkĩra mũndũ ũngĩ na akĩmwarĩria ũhoro o ro ũcio, nao andũ makĩmũcookeria ũhoro o ta mbere.
31 And they that heard the wordes which Dauid spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be brought.
Ũhoro ũcio Daudi oigire nĩwaiguirwo, ũkĩmenyithio Saũlũ, nake Saũlũ agĩtũmana ageetwo.
32 So Dauid saide to Saul, Let no mans heart faile him, because of him: thy seruant wil goe, and fight with this Philistim.
Daudi akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Ndũkareke mũndũ o na ũmwe akue ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa Mũfilisti ũyũ; ndungata yaku nĩĩgũthiĩ ĩkarũe nake.”
33 And Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou art not able to goe against this Philistim to fight with him: for thou art a boye, and he is a man of warre from his youth.
Saũlũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũngĩhota gũthiĩ kũrũa na Mũfilisti ũyũ; wee ũrĩ o mũndũ mũnini, nake atũire arũaga mbaara kuuma arĩ o mũnini.”
34 And Dauid answered vnto Saul, Thy seruant kept his fathers sheepe, and there came a lyon, and likewise a beare, and tooke a sheepe out of the flocke,
No Daudi akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndungata yaku ndũire ndĩithagia ngʼondu cia baba. Na rĩrĩa mũrũũthi kana nduba ĩngĩnyiita na ĩkuue ngʼondu kuuma rũũru-inĩ,
35 And I went out after him and smote him, and tooke it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by the beard, and smote him, and slue him.
ndĩmĩrũmagĩrĩra, ngamĩgũtha, ngateithũra ngʼondu ĩyo kuuma kanua-inĩ kayo. Na rĩrĩa yenda kũndũgĩrĩra ngamĩnyiita nderu, ngamĩgũtha, ngamĩũraga.
36 So thy seruaunt slue both the lyon, and the beare: therefore this vncircumcised Philistim shall be as one of them, seeing hee hath railed on the hoste of the liuing God.
Ndungata yaku yanooraga mũrũũthi na nduba o cierĩ; Mũfilisti ũyũ ũtarĩ mũruu o nake egũtuĩka o ta ĩmwe yacio, tondũ nĩogitĩte ita rĩa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo.
37 Moreouer Dauid sayd, The Lord that deliuered me out of the pawe of the lyon, and out of the paw of the beare, he wil deliuer me out of the hand of this Philistim. Then Saul sayd vnto Dauid, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
Jehova ũrĩa wahonokirie harĩ gĩthu kĩa mũrũũthi o na gĩthu kĩa nduba-rĩ, nĩekũhonokia guoko-inĩ kwa Mũfilisti ũyũ.” Saũlũ akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, na Jehova arokorwo hamwe nawe.”
38 And Saul put his rayment vpon Dauid, and put an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and put a brigandine vpon him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩhumba Daudi nguo ciake na, akĩmwĩkĩra nguo ya kĩgera na ngũbia ya gĩcango mũtwe.
39 Then girded Dauid his sword vpon his rayment, and began to go: for he neuer proued it: and Dauid sayde vnto Saul, I can not goe with these: for I am not accustomed. wherefore Dauid put them off him.
Daudi akĩĩoha rũhiũ rwake rwa njora igũrũ rĩa nguo icio, na akĩgeria gũkinyũkia, tondũ ndaacimenyerete. No akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩhota gũthiĩ na indo ici, nĩ ũndũ ndicimenyerete.” Nake agĩciruta.
40 Then tooke he his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoothe stones out of a brooke, and put them in his shepheards bagge or skrippe, and his sling was in his hand, and he drewe neere to the Philistim.
Agĩcooka akĩnyiita rũthanju rwake na guoko, agĩthuura tũhiga tũtano tũnyoroku kuuma karũũĩ-inĩ, agĩtwĩkĩra kamũhuko-inĩ gake ka mũrĩithi, akĩnyiita kĩgũtha gĩake na guoko, agĩthiĩ, agĩkuhĩrĩria Mũfilisti ũcio.
41 And the Philistim came and drew neere vnto Dauid, and the man that bare the shielde went before him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũfilisti ũcio no gũũka ookaga akuhĩrĩrie Daudi, na mũndũ ũrĩa wamũkuuagĩra ngo arĩ mbere yake.
42 Now when the Philistim looked about and saw Dauid, he disdeined him: for he was but yong, ruddie, and of a comely face.
Nake akĩrora Daudi, akĩona atĩ aarĩ o mũndũ mũnini, mũtune mwĩrĩ na agathakara, nake akĩmũira.
43 And the Philistim sayde vnto Dauid, Am I a dog, that thou commest to me with staues? And the Philistim cursed Dauid by his gods.
Akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ niĩ ndĩ ngui atĩ nĩguo ũgĩũke kũrĩ niĩ na thanju?” Nake Mũfilisti ũcio akĩruma Daudi akĩgwetaga ngai ciake.
44 And the Philistim sayd to Dauid, Come to me, and I will giue thy flesh vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the field.
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka haha, na nĩngũhe nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka nyama ciaku!”
45 Then sayd Dauid to the Philistim, Thou commest to me with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield, but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon.
Daudi akĩĩra Mũfilisti ũcio atĩrĩ, “Wee ũroka kũrĩ niĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, na itimũ na kĩberethi, no niĩ ndĩroka kũrĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai ũrĩa mwene ita rĩa Isiraeli, ũrĩa wee ũnyararithĩtie.
46 This day shall the Lord close thee in mine hand, and I shall smite thee, and take thine head from thee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the hoste of the Philistims this daye vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beasts of the earth, that all the world may know that Israel hath a God,
Ũmũthĩ Jehova nĩegũkũneana kũrĩ niĩ, na nĩngũkũgũtha ũgwe thĩ, na ngũtinie kĩongo. Ũmũthĩ nĩngũhe nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka ciimba cia ita rĩa Afilisti, nayo thĩ yothe ĩmenye atĩ nĩ kũrĩ Ngai thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
47 And that all this assembly may know, that the Lord saueth not with sworde nor with speare (for the battel is the Lords) and he will giue you into our handes.
Arĩa othe moonganĩte haha nĩmekũmenya atĩ Jehova ndahonokanagia na rũhiũ rwa njora kana itimũ; nĩgũkorwo mbaara nĩ ya Jehova, nĩekũmũneana inyuothe moko-inĩ maitũ.”
48 And when the Philistim arose to come and drawe neere vnto Dauid, Dauid hasted and ran to fight against the Philistim.
Na rĩrĩa Mũfilisti ũcio aamũkuhagĩrĩria nĩguo amũtharĩkĩre-rĩ, Daudi agĩtengʼera na ihenya erekeire na kũrĩa mbaara yarĩ nĩguo amũtũnge.
49 And Dauid put his hande in his bagge, and tooke out a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistim in his forehead, that the stone sticked in his forehead, and he fell groueling to the earth.
Agĩikia guoko mondo-inĩ yake akĩruta kahiga kamwe, akĩhiũria kĩgũtha, nake akĩgũtha Mũfilisti ũcio thiithi. Kahiga kau gagĩtoonyerera thiithi-inĩ wake, akĩgũa, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ.
50 So Dauid ouercame the Philistim with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistim, and slew him, when Dauid had no sword in his hand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩhoota Mũfilisti ũcio na kĩgũtha na kahiga; ndaarĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora guoko-inĩ gwake akĩgũtha Mũfilisti ũcio na akĩmũũraga.
51 Then Dauid ranne, and stood vpon the Philistim, and tooke his sword and drew it out of his sheath, and slewe him, and cut off his head therewith. So whe the Philistims saw, that their champion was dead, they fled.
Daudi agĩtengʼera, akĩrũgama igũrũ rĩake. Akĩnyiita rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Mũfilisti ũcio akĩrũcomora njora-inĩ. Thuutha wa kũmũũraga-rĩ, agĩtinia kĩongo gĩake na rũhiũ rũu rwa njora. Rĩrĩa Afilisti moonire atĩ njamba yao nĩ yakua, makĩgarũrũka, makĩũra.
52 And the men of Israel and Iudah arose, and shouted, and followed after the Philistims, vntill they came to the valley, and vnto the gates of Ekron: and the Philistims fell downe wounded by the way of Shaaraim, euen to Gath and to Ekron.
Andũ a Isiraeli na Juda makiumĩra maanĩrĩire, makĩingatithia Afilisti nginya itoonyero rĩa Gathu na nginya ihingo-inĩ cia Ekironi. Arĩa moragĩtwo maagwĩte njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩthiiaga Sharaimu nginya Gathu na Ekironi.
53 And the children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistims, and spoyled their tents.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maacookire kuuma kũingatithia Afilisti, magĩtaha indo kambĩ-inĩ ciao.
54 And Dauid tooke the head of ye Philistim, and brought it to Ierusalem, and put his armour in his tent.
Daudi akĩoya mũtwe wa Mũfilisti ũcio, akĩũtwara Jerusalemu, na akĩiga indo cia Mũfilisti ũcio cia mbaara hema-inĩ yake mwene.
55 When Saul sawe Dauid go forth against the Philistim, he sayd vnto Abner the captaine of his hoste, Abner, whose sonne is this yong man? and Abner answered, As thy soule liueth, O King, I can not tell.
Na rĩrĩa Saũlũ eroreire Daudi agĩthiĩ gũtũnga Mũfilisti, akĩũria Abina, mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita, atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũyũ nĩ mũriũ waũ?” Abina akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo wee mũthamaki, niĩ ndiũĩ nĩ waũ.”
56 Then the King sayde, Enquire thou whose sonne this yong man is.
Nake mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta gĩtuĩrie ũmenye mwanake ũcio nĩ mũriũ waũ.”
57 And when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, then Abner tooke him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistim in his hand.
Na thuutha wa Daudi gũcooka kuuma kũũraga Mũfilisti-rĩ, Abina akĩmuoya na akĩmũtwara mbere ya Saũlũ, o anyiitĩte mũtwe wa Mũfilisti ũcio.
58 And Saul sayde to him, Whose sonne art thou, thou yong man? And Dauid answered, I am the sonne of thy seruant Ishai the Bethlehemite.
Saũlũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwanake ũyũ, ũrĩ mũriũ waũ?” Nake Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mũrũ wa ndungata yaku Jesii wa Bethilehemu.”
