< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
Mwet Philistia elos solani un mwet mweun lalos nu Socoh, sie siti srisrik in acn Judah, ac akola nu ke mweun. Elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos in acn se pangpang Ephes Dammim, su oan inmasrlon Socoh ac Azekah.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saul ac mwet Israel elos toeni ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos Infahlfal Elah, na elos akoo pac in mweun lain mwet Philistia.
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Mwet Philistia elos takla tu ke soko eol uh, ac mwet Israel ke soko pac eol, ac infahlfal se oan inmasrlolos.
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Oasr sie mwet pangpang Goliath, el mwet in siti Gath. El illa liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia ac solsol anwuk nu sin mwet Israel. Lusal alukela fit eu,
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
ac el nukum nuknuk orek ke osra bronze, toasriya akuran sun paun siofok longoul limekosr, ac mwe susu lal orek pac ke osra bronze.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
Nial nukla pac ke osra bronze, ac el us osra in fakfuk soko finpisal.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield-bearer went before him.
Fungin osra soko natul yohk oana sak ke mwe otwot nuknuk, ac mutun osra soko ah orek ke osra iron su toasriya akuran paun singoul limekosr. Sie mwet mweun el fahsr meet lukel ac us mwe loang lal uh.
8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
Goliath el tu ac wowo nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Mea kowos oru ingan? Ya kowos takla akola in mweun? Nga sie mwet Philistia, ac kowos mwet kohs lal Saul! Sulela sie mwet lowos an in tuku lainyu.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
El fin kutangla ac uniyuwi, na kut ac fah mwet kohs lowos. A nga fin kutangla ac unilya, na kowos ac fah mwet kohs lasr.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Inge misenge nga tuyak ac akola in lain un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel. Nga tia sensen in fahkot: sulela sie mwet an nga el in anwuk!”
11 And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Ke Saul ac mwet lal elos lohng kas inge, elos arulana sangeng.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men.
David el wen natul Jesse, sie mwet Ephrathah su muta Bethlehem in acn Judah. Oasr wen oalkosr natul Jesse, ac in pacl se Saul el tokosra, Jesse el arulana matuoh.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Wen tolu natul Jesse ma matu eltal welul Saul oasr ke nien mweun uh. Ma se ma matu uh pa Eliab, ma se akluo uh pa Abinadab, ac aktolu pa Shammah.
14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
David pa fusr emeet, ac ke pacl tamulel tolu ma matu uh welul Saul,
15 Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
na David el ac folok nu Bethlehem kais kutu pacl in karingin sheep nutin papa tumal.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Goliath el kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel lotutang ac eku nukewa ke lusen len angngaul.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
Sie len ah Jesse el fahk nu sel David, “Us tafun bushel in fiten wheat manman inge ac lof singoul inge, ac sulaklak nu yurin tamulel wiom in nien aktuktuk uh.
18 and bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
Ac us ipin cheese singoul inge nu sin captain lun un mwet mweun an. Srike liye lah tamulel lom ah fuka, na kom fah foloko ac use sie ma in akpwayeye lah kom sonoltal ac lah eltal ku na.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Tokosra Saul, ac tamulel lom, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos muta Infahlfal Elah ac mweuni mwet Philistia.”
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
Len tok ah David el toangna tukakek ac el sap sie pac mwet in muta karingin sheep uh. Na el eis mwe mongo ma akoeyuk, ac som oana Jesse el tuh fahk nu sel. Ke el sun nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Israel, falyang na nu ke pacl se elos sasa, illa ac takla in mweun.
21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
Un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel elos tuyak ac ngetani nu sie akola nu ke mweun.
22 And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
David el filiya mwe mongo el us yurin mwet se ma liyaung kufwen mwe mweun, na el kasrusr nu ke acn se mwet mweun takla we ah, ac suk mwet wial ah. Na el siyuk seltal lah eltal fuka.
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
Ke el srakna sramsram nu seltal, Goliath el fahsryak nu meet, ac el sifilpa kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel oana ke el oru meet ah. Ac David el lohng ma Goliath el fahk inge.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
Ke mwet Israel elos liyal Goliath elos sangeng ac kaing.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Liyalwin! Lohng kusen mukul lal ingan! Tokosra Saul el wulela mu el ac sang moul na yohk nu sin mwet se su ac uniya mwet Philistia sacn. El ac sang acn natul in payukyak sin mukul sac, ac sou lun papa tumun mukul sac ac tia enenu in moli mwe takma lalos.”
26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
David el siyuk sin mwet ma tu siskal ah, “Mea ac orek nu sin mwet se su uniya mwet Philistia se ingo, ac tulala mwet Israel liki mwe mwekin se inge? Ac su win mwet Philistia pegan se ingan, ku elan orek tungak nu sin mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD moul?”
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
Na elos fahk nu sel David ma ac tufah orek nu sin mwet se ac unilya Goliath.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
Eliab, tamulel matu se wial David, el lohng sramsram lal David nu sin mwet inge, na el kasrkusrak sel ac fahk, “Mea kom tuku oru uh? Ac su muta liyaung sheep ekasr nutum oe yen mwesis ah? Kom ekak! Kom akna kom in intoein mweun uh, pa sis kom tuku an!”
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
Na David el fahk, “Ku mea nga oru? Ya nga kofla in kusen siyuk?”
30 And he turned away from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
David el forla nu sin sie pac mwet ac siyuk kusen siyuk sac pacna, ac pacl nukewa el ac siyuk ma sac, na top sefanna mwet uh ac topkol kac.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Kutu mwet inge lohng ma David el tuh fahk, na elos som fahk nu sel Saul, ac Saul el sapla solal.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Na David el fahk nu sel Saul, “O Tokosra, wangin sripa mwet uh in sangeng sin mwet Philistia se inge! Nga fah som anwuk nu sel.”
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Ac Saul el fahk, “Ku kom ac lainul fuka? Kom srakna tulik, a funu el, el nuna mwet mweun se in moul lal nufon!”
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
Ac David el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga pa liyaung sheep nutin papa tumuk. Pacl nukewa lion soko ku bear soko fin tuku sruokya sheep fusr soko ac usla liki un sheep uh,
35 I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
nga ac ukwal ac onel, ac molela sheep uh liki inwalul. Na lion soko ku bear soko fin forma nu sik, nga sruokya inkwawal ac puokol nwe ke el misa.
36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
Nga uniya lion ac bear tari, ac nga ac oru oapana nu sin mwet Philistia pegan se inge, su tuku funmwet nu sin mwet mweun lun God moul.
37 And David said, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD shall be with thee.
LEUM GOD El moliyula liki lion ac bear, ac El ac fah moliyula liki mwet Philistia se pac inge. Na Saul el fahk, “Wona. Fahsrot, ac LEUM GOD Elan wi kom.”
38 And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
Saul el sang mwe loeyuk lal sifacna nu sel David elan nokomang: mwe susu osra se el sang nu fin sifal David, oayapa nuknuk osra se.
39 And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
David el kapriya cutlass natul Saul nu ke nuknuk osra sac, ac el srike in fahsr tuh el tia ku, mweyen el supah kac. Na el fahk nu sel Saul, “Nga tia ku in mweun ke ma inge oan keik uh. Nga supah kac.” Na el sarukla nufon.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
El srukak sikal soko natul, ac el sulela eot fwel limekosr infacl ah, ac isongya nu in pak lal ah. El akola fuht natul ah inpaol, na el som in sonol Goliath.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
Mwet Philistia sac mutawauk in fahsr nu yorol David, ac mwet us mwe loang natul ah fahsr meet lukel. Ke fototoeni inmasrloltal
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
Goliath el ngetla liyal David, ac el israsrinkusrael mweyen David el tulik na kulang ac kato se.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Ac Goliath el fahk nu sel David, “Mwe mea sak soko an? Kom nunku mu kosro ngalngul soko pa nga?” Na el pang nu sin god lal tuh elan selngawel David.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
Goliath el kusen mukul nu sel David ac fahk, “Fahsru na, ac nga fah sang monum tuh won yen engyeng uh ac kosro lemnak in kang.”
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.
Ac David el fahk, “Kom tuku lainyu ke cutlass ac osra ac mwe fakfuk, a nga tuku lain kom ke Inen LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, su kom orek funmwet nu se.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from off thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel:
Misenge LEUM GOD El ac fah eiskomme nu inpouk, ac nga fah unikomi ac pakela sifom. Nga fah sang monin mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh won yen engyengu ac kosro lemnak in kang. Na faclu nufon fah etu tuh oasr sie God in Israel.
47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hand.
Ac mwet nukewa inge fah liye lah LEUM GOD El tia enenu cutlass ku osra in molela mwet lal. Kutangla se inge ma na lal, ac El ac fah filikowosme nu inpaosr.”
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Goliath el mutawauk in sifil fahsr nu yorol David, ac David el kasrusr nu ke lain in mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh elan lainul.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
David el isongya paol nu in pak lal ah, olak sie eot loac ah, furokang nu kacl Goliath. Eot sac sunna motonsrol twe fukulya ahlunsifal Goliath, na el ikori oankiyuki infohk ah.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Ouinge wangin cutlass inpaol David a el kutangulla Goliath ac unilya ke fuht se ac eot srisrik se!
51 Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
David el yuyang nu yorol Goliath ac fanyak tu facl. El eisla cutlass natul Goliath liki mwe neinyuk la ah, ac sang pakela sifal ac unilya. Ke mwet Philistia elos liye lah mwet se elos finsrak kac el misa, elos kaing.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
Mwet Israel ac Judah elos sasa ac ukwe mwet Philistia nwe ke elos sun acn Gath ac mutunpot in Ekron. Mwet Philistia elos ikor ac kinetneta inkanek ma fahla nu Shaaraim, nwe ke sun acn Gath ac Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camp.
Ke mwet Israel elos folok ke ukok lalos, elos tui ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, ac eisani ma wap nukewa we.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
David el usla sifal Goliath nu Jerusalem, a el sruokya mwe mweun natul Goliath in lohm nuknuk sel sifacna.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
Ke Saul el liyal David ke el fahla in mweunel Goliath, el siyuk sel Abner, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, ac fahk, “Abner, nutin su tulik se ingan?” Abner el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga tiana etu.”
56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.
Na Saul el fahk, “Fahla siyuk lah nutin su.”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Ke David el folok nu ke nien aktuktuk uh tukun el unilya Goliath, Abner el usalla nu yorol Saul. David el srakna us sifal Goliath.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
Saul el siyuk sel David, “Mwet fusr, nutin su kom an?” David el topuk, “Nga ma nutin mwet kulansap lom, Jesse, mwet Bethlehem se.”
