¹Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.

¹A Filištíni sobrali svoje vojská do boja a shromaždili sa pri Sochu, ktoré patrí Júdovi, a položili sa táborom medzi Sochom a medzi Azékou, v Éfes-dammime.

²And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

²A shromaždili sa aj Saul a synovia Izraelovi a položili sa táborom v doline Éla a zriadili sa do boja proti Filištínom.

³And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

³A Filištíni stáli na svahu vrchu z jednej strany, a Izraeliti stáli na svahu vrchu z druhej strany, a dolina bola medzi nimi.

⁴And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

⁴A vyšiel súbojník z vojska Filištínov, ktorému bolo meno Goliáš, z Gátu; vysoký bol šesť lakťov a piaď;

⁵And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

⁵na hlave mal medenú prilbu a oblečený bol v šupinatom pancieri, ktorý vážil päť tisíc šeklov medi;

⁶And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.

⁶na svojich nohách mal medené plechovice a medený štít medzi svojimi plecami,

⁷And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

⁷a drevo jeho kopije bolo jako tkáčsky návoj, a hrot jeho kopije vážil šesťsto šeklov železa, a ten, ktorý nosil jeho veľký štít, išiel pred ním.

⁸And 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.

⁸A postaviac sa volal na bojové rady Izraelove a vravel im: Načo ste vyšli postaviť sa do boja? Či nie som ja Filištín a vy služobníci Saulovi? Vyberte si muža, ktorý by sišiel ku mne!

⁹If he be able to fight with me, and to 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.

⁹Ak bude môcť bojovať so mnou a zabije ma, vtedy vám budeme za sluhov, a jestli ja jeho premôžem a zabijem ho, budete vy nám za sluhov a budete nám slúžiť.

¹⁰And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

¹⁰A krome toho vravel Filištín: Ja som dnes pohanil vojská Izraelove. Nože mi tedy dajte muža, aby sme sa spolu borili!

¹¹When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.

¹¹Keď počul Saul a celý Izrael tie slová Filištína, zľakli sa a báli sa veľmi.

¹²Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.

¹²A tedy Dávid bol synom muža Efraťana, toho z Betlehema Júdovho, ktorému bolo meno Izai a ktorý mal osem synov. A človek žil za dní Saulových a bol už starý, pošlý vekom medzi ľuďmi.

¹³And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed 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.

¹³A traja najstarší synovia Izaiho odíduc išli tiež za Saulom do boja. A mená jeho troch synov, ktorí boli odišli do boja, boly: Eliáb, prvorodený, a prvý po ňom Abinadáb a druhý Šamma.

¹⁴And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.

¹⁴Dávid bol najmladší. A teda tí traja najstarší išli za Saulom.

¹⁵But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

¹⁵A Dávid odchádzaval a vše sa vrátil od Saula zase pásť ovce svojho otca do Betlehema.

¹⁶And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

¹⁶A Filištín prichádzaval blízko skoro za rána a večer a postavoval sa tak štyridsať dní.

¹⁷And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren;

¹⁷A Izai povedal Dávidovi, svojmu synovi: Nože vezmi pre svojich bratov efu tohoto praženého zrna a týchto desať chlebov a bež s tým do tábora za svojimi bratmi.

¹⁸And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.

¹⁸A týchto desať čerstvých syrcov zanesieš veliteľovi ich tisíca a navštíviš svojich bratov a zvieš, ako sa majú, a vezmeš ich záloh.

¹⁹Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

¹⁹Medzitým Saul aj oni i všetci mužovia Izraelovi boli v doline Éla bojujúc s Filištínmi.

²⁰And 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 trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.

²⁰Vtedy vstal Dávid skoro ráno a sveriac stádo na strážneho vzal a išiel, tak ako mu prikázal Izai, a prišiel až k vozom a k vojsku, ktoré práve vychádzalo do šíku a kričalo do boja.

²¹For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.

²¹A postavil sa do šíku Izrael i Filištíni, šík proti šíku.

²²And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.

²²Tu zanechal Dávid veci, ktoré složil so seba, pri tom, ktorý strážil batožinu, a bežal do vojska, pripraveného do boja. A prijdúc ta pýtal sa svojich bratov, ako sa majú?

²³And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.

²³Ale kým on hovoril s nimi, tu hľa, prichádzal hore postredný súbojník, Goliáš Filištínsky menom, z Gátu, z bojovných radov Filištínov a zase hovoril slová jako tamtie, a Dávid to počul.

²⁴And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.

²⁴A všetci mužovia Izraelovi, keď uvideli muža, utekali pred ním a báli sa veľmi.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵A mužovia Izraelovi vraveli medzi sebou: Či ste videli muža, ktorý to išiel sem hore? Lebo nato chodí sem hore, aby hanobil Izraela. A preto muža, ktorý by ho zabil, obohatí kráľ veľkým bohatstvom a dá mu svoju dcéru za ženu a učiní dom jeho otca slobodným v Izraelovi.

²⁶And 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?

²⁶Na to riekol Dávid mužom, ktorí stáli pri ňom, a povedal: Čože sa to učiní mužovi, ktorý zabije tohoto Filištína a sníme pohanu s Izraela? Lebo ktože je ten neobrezaný Filištín, že uvodí pohanu na vojská živého Boha?

²⁷And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.

²⁷A ľud mu odpovedal tie isté slová a riekol: Tak sa učiní mužovi, ktorý ho zabije.

²⁸And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? 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.

²⁸Ale počul to Eliáb, jeho najstarší brat, keď hovoril s mužmi, a nahneval sa na Dávida a povedal: Prečo si sišiel sem? A na koho si nechal tých niekoľko oviec na púšti? Ja znám tvoju pýchu a zlobu tvojho srdca, lebo si nato prišiel sem dolu, aby si videl bitku.

²⁹And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?

²⁹A Dávid riekol: Čože som teraz urobil? Či mi nebolo rozkázané?

³⁰And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.

³⁰A Dávid obrátiac sa od neho k inému, pýtal sa to isté. A ľud mu odpovedal zase tak ako prv.

³¹And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.

³¹A keď počuli ľudia slová, ktoré hovoril Dávid, oznámili to Saulovi, ktorý ho povolal k sebe.

³²And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

³²A Dávid riekol Saulovi: Nech sa neľaká srdce človeka pre neho; tvoj služobník pojde a bude bojovať s tým Filištínom.

³³And 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.

³³Na to povedal Saul Dávidovi: Nebudeš môcť ísť proti tomu Filištínovi, aby si bojoval s ním, lebo ty si iba mládenček, a on je bojovník od svojej mladosti.

³⁴And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

³⁴Ale Dávid odpovedal Saulovi: Tvoj služobník bol pastierom svojho otca pri drobnom stáde, a keď prišiel lev alebo medveď a niesol preč nejaké dobytča, ovcu alebo kozu, zo stáda,

³⁵And 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.

³⁵vyšiel som za ním a bil som ho a tak som vytrhol z jeho tlamy. A keď sa oboril na mňa, chytil som ho za jeho bradu a bil som ho dotiaľ, dokiaľ som ho nezabil.

³⁶Thy servant slew 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.

³⁶I ľva i medveďa zabil tvoj služobník, a ten neobrezaný Filištín bude jako jeden z nich, pretože hanobil vojská živého Boha.

³⁷David said moreover, 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 be with thee.

³⁷A ešte povedal Dávid: Hospodin, ktorý ma vytrhol z moci ľva a z moci medveďa, on ma vytrhne i z ruky tohoto Filištína. Na to povedal Saul Dávidovi: Iď, a Hospodin bude s tebou:

³⁸And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.

³⁸Vtedy obliekol Saul Dávida do svojich šiat, dal medenú prilbu na jeho hlavu a dal ho obliecť do panciera.

³⁹And David girded his sword upon his armor, 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.

³⁹A Dávid si pripásal jeho meč na jeho šaty a chcel ísť, lebo ešte nebol zkúsil. Ale potom riekol Dávid Saulovi: Nemohol by som v tom ísť, lebo som neprivykol na to. A tak to složil Dávid so seba.

⁴⁰And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

⁴⁰Ale vzal svoju palicu do svojej ruky a vybral si päť hladkých kameňov z potoka a vložil ich medzi pastierske náčinie, ktoré mal, a do kabely, a svoj prak si vzal do svojej ruky a tak sa blížil k Filištínovi.

⁴¹And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.

⁴¹A išiel aj Filištín a blížil sa pozvoľna Dávidovi, a muž, ktorý niesol jeho veľký štít, išiel pred ním.

⁴²And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

⁴²Keď potom pozrel Filištín a uvidel Dávida, pohŕdol ním, pretože bol iba mládenček, rumenný a krásnej postavy.

⁴³And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

⁴³A Filištín povedal Dávidovi: Či som ja pes, že ideš ku mne s palicami? A Filištín zlorečil Dávidovi svojimi bohmi.

⁴⁴And 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.

⁴⁴A taktiež povedal Filištín Dávidovi: Nože poď ku mne, a dám tvoje telo nebeským vtákom a poľnej zveri!

⁴⁵Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

⁴⁵Na to riekol Dávid Filištínovi: Ty ideš ku mne s mečom, s kopijou a so štítom, ale ja idem k tebe v mene Hospodina Zástupov, v mene Boha vojsk Izraelových, ktorému si sa rúhal.

⁴⁶This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses 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.

⁴⁶Dneská ťa vydá Hospodin do mojej ruky, a zabijem ťa a zotnem tvoju hlavu s teba a dnes vydám mŕtve telá tábora Filištínov nebeským vtákom a zemským šelmám, a tak zvedia, celá zem, že má Izrael Boha.

⁴⁷And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.

⁴⁷A zvie i celé toto shromaždenie, že nie mečom ani kopijou zachraňuje Hospodin, pretože boj je Hospodinov, a vydá vás do našej ruky.

⁴⁸And 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.

⁴⁸A stalo sa, keď potom povstal Filištín, išiel a blížil sa proti Dávidovi, poponáhľal sa Dávid a bežal smerom proti vojsku nepriateľa, oproti Filištínovi.

⁴⁹And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

⁴⁹A v tom siahol Dávid svojou rukou do kapsy a vyňal ztade kameň a hodiac ho prakom uderil Filištína do čela tak, že kameň zaviazol do jeho čela, a padol na svoju tvár na zem.

⁵⁰So 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.

⁵⁰A tak premohol Dávid Filištína prakom a kameňom a uderiac Filištína zabil ho, keď aj nemal Dávid v ruke meča.

⁵¹Therefore David ran, and stood upon 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 their champion was dead, they fled.

⁵¹A Dávid pobehol a postavil sa k Filištínovi, vzal jeho meč, vytiahol ho z jeho pošvy a zabil ho a odťal ním jeho hlavu. A keď videli Filištíni, že zomrel ich najsilnejší, utekali.

⁵²And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, 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.

⁵²A mužovia Izraelovi a Júdovi povstali, kričali a honili Filištínov až potiaľ, kde prijdeš do doliny, až ku bránam Ekróna. A tak padali ranení z Filištínov po ceste Šáraim a tak až po Gát a až po Ekrón.

⁵³And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.

⁵³Keď sa potom navrátili synovia Izraelovi od prenasledovania Filištínov, ktorých tuho stíhali, zrabovali ich tábor.

⁵⁴And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.

⁵⁴A Dávid vzal hlavu Filištínovu a doniesol ju do Jeruzalema a jeho zbraň složil vo svojom stáne.

⁵⁵And 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.

⁵⁵A keď videl Saul Dávida, keď išiel von proti Filištínovi, povedal Abnerovi, veliteľovi vojska: Čí je ten mládenec, Abner? A Abner odpovedal: Ako že žije tvoja duša, kráľu, neviem.

⁵⁶And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.

⁵⁶A kráľ povedal: Spýtaj sa ty, čí je to šuhaj.

⁵⁷And 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.

⁵⁷Keď sa potom navracoval Dávid od zabitia Filištína, pojal ho Abner a doviedol ho pred Saula. A hlavu Filištínovu držal vo svojej ruke.

⁵⁸And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

⁵⁸A Saul mu povedal: Čí si ty syn, mládenče? A Dávid odpovedal: Syn tvojho služobníka Izaiho Betlehemského.
