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.

¹Filistejci pa zbero vojske svoje na boj in se skupijo pri Soku, ki je Judovo, in se ušatorijo med Sokom in Azeko, v Efesdamimu.

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.

²Tudi Savel in možje Izraelovi se zbero in se utabore ob Hrastovi dolini, in se pripravljajo za boj zoper Filistejce.

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.

³In Filistejci so stali na gori po tej strani, Izraelci pa so stali na gori po oni strani, in dolina je bila med njimi.

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.

⁴In iz tabora Filistejcev stopi dvobojnik, po imenu Goliat, iz Gata, visok šest komolcev in dlan.

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.

⁵In je imel bronasto čelado na glavi in luskinast oklep na sebi, in teža oklepa njegovega je bila pet tisoč seklov brona.

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

⁶In na nogah je imel bronaste škornje in bronast ščit na plečih;

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.

⁷in njegovo suličišče je bilo kakor tkalsko vratilo, in bodalo njegove sulice je imelo šeststo seklov železa; in tisti, ki mu je nosil ščit, je stopal pred njim.

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.

⁸In se ustopi in kliče proti vojnim vrstam Izraelovim in jim reče: Čemu ste se šli pripravljat na boj? Nisem li jaz Filistejec in vi hlapci Savlovi? Izvolite moža za sebe, naj pride sem doli k meni!

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.

⁹Ako se more boriti z menoj in me ubije, bodemo vam hlapci; ako pa ga jaz premorem in ubijem, bodete nam hlapci in nam morate služiti.

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

¹⁰Še reče Filistejec: Danes sem spravil v sramoto vojne vrste Izraelove; dajte mi moža, da se skupaj bojujeva!

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

¹¹In ko Savel in vsi Izraelci slišijo te besede Filistejca, se prestrašijo in se silno bojé.

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.

¹²David pa je bil sin tistega Efratejca iz Betlehema na Judovem, ki mu je bilo ime Jesej in je imel osem sinov; in ta mož je bil že starec v Savlovih dnevih in prileten med možmi.

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.

¹³In trije starejši sinovi Jesejevi so bili šli za Savlom na vojsko; in imena treh sinov njegovih, ki so šli na vojsko, so bila: Eliab prvenec, in po njem Abinadab, drugi, in tretji Sama.

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

¹⁴David pa je bil najmlajši. In ko so bili šli trije starejši za Savlom,

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

¹⁵je šel zopet David od Savla past očeta svojega ovce v Betlehemu.

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

¹⁶A Filistejec je prihajal zjutraj in na večer in se je kazal štirideset dni.

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;

¹⁷Tedaj veli Jesej Davidu, sinu svojemu: Vzemi za brate svoje to efo prepraženega zrnja in teh deset hlebov, in teci k bratom svojim v tabor.

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

¹⁸In teh deset svežih sirov donesi poveljniku njih tisoča, in obišči svoje brate in poglej, ali se jim dobro godi, in prinesi znamenje od njih.

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

¹⁹Savel pa in oni in vsi možje Izraelovi so bili v Hrastovi dolini, vojskujoč se s Filistejci.

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.

²⁰David torej vstane zgodaj zjutraj in izroči ovce varuhu in vzame darila ter odrine, kakor mu je Jesej zapovedal, in pride do vozne zagrade; vojska pa, ki je ravnokar šla ven v boj, je zagnala bojni krik.

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

²¹Kajti Izraelci so se razvrstili za boj in tudi Filistejci, vojne čete proti četam.

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.

²²David pa pusti svoje stvari v roki čuvaja prtljage in teče v vojne vrste ter dospe in pozdravi svoje brate.

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.

²³In ko govori ž njimi, glej, dvobojnik, Filistejec iz Gata, po imenu Goliat, pride iz vrst Filistejcev in govori kakor poprej; in David je slišal.

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

²⁴Vsi možje Izraelovi pa, videč tega moža, so bežali pred njim in se silno bali.

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.

²⁵In možje Izraelovi pravijo: Ste li videli tega moža, ki je stopal sem gori? Res, da postavi na sramoto Izraela, je stopil gori proti nam. Zatorej kdor ga ubije, njega kralj silno obogati in mu da hčer svojo in svobodno naredi njegovega očeta hišo v Izraelu.

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?

²⁶In David vpraša može, ki so stali okoli njega, rekoč: Kaj dobi mož, ki ubije tega Filistejca in sramote reši Izraela? Kdo je pač Filistejec, ta neobrezanec, da sme v sramoto spravljati živega Boga vojne vrste?

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

²⁷In ljudstvo mu odgovori kakor poprej, rekoč: To dobi mož, ki ga ubije.

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.

²⁸Ali Eliab, najstarejši brat njegov, ga je slišal govoriti z možmi; in razvname se Eliabu jeza zoper Davida, in reče: Zakaj si prišel doli? In pri kom si pustil tistih malo ovac v puščavi? Dobro poznam tvojo prevzetnost in srca tvojega hudobnost! Kajti prišel si doli, da gledaš bitko.

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

²⁹David pa reče: Kaj sem storil zdaj? Ni li mi razloga za to?

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

³⁰In obrne se od njega proti drugemu in govori kakor poprej; in ljudstvo mu zopet odgovori kakor prvikrat.

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

³¹In ko so slišali besede, ki jih je govoril David, jih povedo pred Savlom; in Savel pošlje ponj.

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

³²In David reče Savlu: Nikomur naj ne upade srčnost zaradi njega; hlapec tvoj pojde in se bo bojeval s tem Filistejcem.

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.

³³A Savel reče Davidu: Ne moreš iti proti temu Filistejcu, da se bojuješ ž njim; zakaj ti si mladenič, a on je vojščak od mladosti svoje.

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:

³⁴David odgovori Savlu: Hlapec tvoj je pasel ovce očeta svojega; in kadar je prišel lev ali medved in odnesel ovčico iz črede,

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.

³⁵sem šel za njim in ga udaril, in sem jo otel iz žrela njegovega. In ako se je postavil zoper mene, sem ga popadel za brado in ga udaril in ubil.

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 leva i medveda je ubil hlapec tvoj: bodi torej ta Filistejec, neobrezanec, kakor teh eden, zato ker je kidal sramoto na živega Boga vojne vrste.

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.

³⁷Še reče David: GOSPOD, ki me je otel iz krempljev levu in medvedu, me otme iz tega Filistejca roke. In Savel veli Davidu: Pojdi, GOSPOD bodi s teboj!

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.

³⁸In Savel obleče Davida v svoje oblačilo ter mu posadi bronasto čelado na glavo in ga obda z oklepom.

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.

³⁹Potem si David pripaše njegov meč čez obleko in poskusi iti; kajti ni bil vajen temu. Pa reče David Savlu: Ne morem iti v tem, zakaj nisem se privadil. Sleče torej to David.

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.

⁴⁰In vzame svojo palico v roko in si izbere pet gladkih kamenov iz potoka ter jih dene v pastirsko spravo, ki jo je imel, v torbo, in vzame pračo svojo v roko in gre proti Filistejcu.

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

⁴¹Tudi Filistejec prikoraka in se približa Davidu, in mož, ki mu je nosil ščit, gre pred njim.

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.

⁴²In ko se Filistejec ozre in ugleda Davida, ga zaničuje; zakaj bil je mladenček in rdečkast, pa lepega obraza.

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.

⁴³In Filistejec reče Davidu: Sem li mar pes, da greš s palico k meni? In Filistejec preklinja Davida pri bogovih svojih;

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.

⁴⁴in reče Davidu: Pridi k meni, in dam meso tvoje pticam pod nebom in zverem na polju.

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.

⁴⁵Tedaj reče David Filistejcu: Ti greš k meni z mečem, s sulico in s kopjem, a jaz grem k tebi v imenu GOSPODA nad vojskami, Boga vojnih vrst Izraelovih, ki si jih sramotil.

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.

⁴⁶Današnji dan te GOSPOD izda v roko mojo, in udarim te in ti vzamem glavo, in dam danes trupla filistejske vojske pticam pod nebom in zverinam na zemlji; in vsa zemlja spozna, da je Bog v Izraelu.

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.

⁴⁷In ves ta zbor spozna, da GOSPOD rešuje, a ne z mečem, ne s sulico; zakaj GOSPODOV je boj, in on vas da v roko našo!

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.

⁴⁸In ko se je vzdignil Filistejec in šel bliže proti Davidu, pohiti David in teče k bojnim vrstam Filistejcu nasproti.

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.

⁴⁹In David seže z roko v torbo in vzame iz nje kamen in ga zaluči ter zadene Filistejca v čelo; in kamen mu predere čelo, in pade z obrazom na zemljo.

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.

⁵⁰Tako je David premogel Filistejca s pračo in s kamenom in ga je udaril in umoril; in ni bilo meča v roki Davidovi.

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.

⁵¹In David priteče in stopi na Filistejca, in zgrabi meč njegov in ga potegne iz nožnice, ter ga usmrti in mu ž njim odseka glavo. In ko Filistejci vidijo, da je njih junak mrtev, zbeže.

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.

⁵²Možje Izraelovi in Judovi pa vstanejo in zaženo bojni krik in pode Filistejce tja do doline in do vrat v Ekron. In padali so ranjeni izmed Filistejcev po poti do Saraima, do Gata in do Ekrona.

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

⁵³In ko so sinovi Izraelovi bili pregnali Filistejce, so se vrnili in oplenili njih taborišče.

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

⁵⁴David pa je vzel glavo Filistejčevo in jo prinesel v Jeruzalem, njegovo orožje pa je zložil v šatoru svojem.

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.

⁵⁵Ko pa je videl Savel Davida gredočega proti Filistejcu, reče Abnerju, poveljniku vojske: Abner, čigav sin je ta mladenič? Abner pa reče: Kakor res živi duša tvoja, o kralj, ne vem.

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

⁵⁶In kralj veli: Vprašaj torej, čigav sin je ta mladenič!

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.

⁵⁷Ko se vrne David po uboju Filistejca, ga vzame Abner in ga pripelje pred Savla, ko je še držal glavo Filistejčevo v roki.In Savel mu reče: Čigav sin si, mladenič? David odgovori: Sin sem tvojega hlapca, Jeseja Betlehemskega.

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.

⁵⁸In Savel mu reče: Čigav sin si, mladenič? David odgovori: Sin sem tvojega hlapca, Jeseja Betlehemskega.
