¹[Ny amin'i Davida sy Goliata] Ary ny Filistina namory ny miaramilany hiady, ka tafavory tao Soko any Joda izy ary nitoby teo anelanelan'i Soko sy Azeka, dia tao Efesa-damima.

¹And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;

²Ary Saoly sy ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely dia tafavory ka nitoby teo amin'ny lohasaha Elaha ary nilahatra hiady amin'ny Filistina.

²and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array to meet the Philistines.

³Ary ny Filistina dia teo am-pita teo amin'ny tendrombohitra iray, ary ny Isiraely kosa teo am-pita teo amin'ny tendrombohitra iray, ary lohasaha no elanelany.

³And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this side, and the Israelites are standing on the mountain on that side, and the valley [is] between them.

⁴Ary nisy lehilahy iray mpihantsy ady nivoaka avy teny amin'ny tobin'ny Filistina, Goliata avy any Gata no anarany; enina hakiho sy irain-jehy no halavany

⁴And there goeth out a man of the duellists from the camps of the Philistines, Goliath [is] his name, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span,

⁵Ary nisatroka fiarovan-doha varahina izy, ary niakanjo fiarovan-tratra, ka ny lanjan'ny akanjony varahina dia dimy arivo sekely.[Vy na varahina nifanindritsindry lany tahaka ny kiran'ny hazan-drano]

⁵and a helmet of brass [is] on his head, and [with] a scaled coat of mail he [is] clothed, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of brass,

⁶Ary nanao fiarovan-dranjo varahina tamin'ny tongony izy ary lefom-pohy varahina teo an-damosiny.

⁶and a frontlet of brass [is] on his feet, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders,

⁷Ary ny haben'ny zaran-defony dia tahaka ny vodi-tenon'ny mpanenona; ary ny lela-lefony dia vy lanjan-tsekely enin-jato; ary nisy nitondra ny ampinga lehibe nandeha teo alohany.

⁷and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers`, and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going before him.

⁸Ary nijanona izy, dia niantso ny miaramilan'ny Isiraely ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mivoaka hilahatra hiady? Tsy Filistina va aho, ary ianareo kosa mpanompon'i Saoly? Mifidiana lehilahy iray ianareo, ary aoka izy hidina etỳ amiko.

⁸And he standeth and calleth unto the ranks of Israel, and saith to them, `Why are ye come out to set in array the battle? [am] not I the Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose for you a man, and let him come down unto me;

⁹Raha tàhiny maharesy ahy izy ka mahafaty ahy, dia ho mpanomponareo izahay; fa raha resiko kosa izy ka matiko, dia ho mpanomponay ianareo ka hanompo anay.

⁹if he be able to fight with me, and have smitten me, then we have been to you for servants; and if I am able for him, and have smitten him, then ye have been to us for servants, and have served us.`

¹⁰Ary hoy ilay Filistina: Izaho efa nihaika ny miaramilan'ny Isiraely androany; amoahy lehilahy iray aho hiady amiko.

¹⁰And the Philistine saith, `I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give to me a man, and we fight together.`

¹¹Ary raha ren'i Saoly sy ny Isiraely rehetra izany tenin'ilay Filistina izany, dia nivadi-po izy ka raikitahotra loatra.

¹¹And Saul heareth — and all Israel — these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.

¹²Ary Davida dia zanak'ilay Efratita avy any Betlehema-joda atao hoe Jese, izay nanana zanaka valo mirahalahy; ary Jese dia efa zokiolona sy anti-panahy tamin'ny andron'i Saoly;

¹²And David [is] son of this Ephrathite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he hath eight sons, and the man in the days of Saul hath become aged among men;

¹³ary ny zokiny telo lahy tamin'ny zanak'i Jese lasa nanaraka an'i Saoly nankany an-tafika; ary ny anaran'ny zanany telo lahy lasa nankany an-tafika dia Eliaba, lahimatoa, sy Abinadaba, lahiaivo, ary Sama no fahatelony;

¹³and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the first-born, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

¹⁴ary Davida no faralahy; ary izy telo lahy zokiny lasa nanaraka an'i Saoly;

¹⁴And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,

¹⁵fa Davida kosa nivoivoy avy tany amin'i Saoly hiandry ny ondrin-drainy tany Betlehema.

¹⁵and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.

¹⁶Ary ilay Filistina nanatona marain-tsy hariva ka niseho efa-polo andro.

¹⁶And the Philistine draweth nigh, morning and evening, and stationeth himself forty days.

¹⁷Ary hoy Jese tamin'i Davida zanany: Ento ity lango eran'ny efaha ity sy ireto mofo folo ireto ho an'ny rahalahinao; ka dia atero faingana ho any an-toby ho any amin'ny rahalahinao.

¹⁷And Jesse saith to David his son, `Take, I pray thee, to thy brethren, an ephah of this roasted [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;

¹⁸Ary ento ho an'ny mpifehy arivony ireto fromazy didiny folo ireto, dia izahao na tsara ihany ny rahalahinao, na manao ahoana, ary itondray izay hahafantarako ny toeny aho.

¹⁸and these ten cuttings of the cheese thou dost take in to the head of the thousand, and thy brethren thou dost inspect for welfare, and their pledge dost receive.`

¹⁹Ary Saoly sy izy telo lahy mbamin'ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Isiraely dia teo amin'ny lohasaha Elaha niady tamin'ny Filistina.

¹⁹And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [are] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

²⁰Dia nifoha maraina koa Davida ka namela ny ondriny hotandreman'olona, ary naka ny entany izy ka lasa nandeha araka ny nandidian'i Jese azy; ary tonga teo amin'ny sehatra-sariety izy; ary ny antokon'ny miaramila izay efa hivoaka hilahatra dia nanakora hiady tamin'izay.

²⁰And David riseth early in the morning, and leaveth the flock to a keeper, and lifteth up, and goeth, as Jesse commanded him, and he cometh in to the path, and to the force which is going out unto the rank, and they have shouted for battle;

²¹Fa ny Isiraely sy ny Filistina efa nilahatra hiady ka nifanatrika ny miaramila.

²¹and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.

²²Ary Davida namela ny entany teo anilan'ny mpiambina entana, dia nihazakazaka nankeny amin'ny laharan'ny miaramila, ary tonga ka nanontany ny amin'izay toetry ny rahalahiny.

²²And David letteth down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runneth into the rank, and cometh and asketh of his brethren of welfare.

²³Ary raha mbola niresaka taminy izy, indro, tamy niakatra avy teo amin'ny laharan'ny miaramilan'ny Filistina ilay mpihantsy ady, lehilahy Filistina avy any Gata, Goliata no anarany; ary niteny tahaka ny teo aloha ihany izy ka ren'i Davida.

²³And he is speaking with them, and lo, a man of the duellists is coming up, Goliath the Philistine [is] his name, of Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaketh according to those words, and David heareth;

²⁴ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Isiraely, raha nahita io lehilahy io, dia nandositra azy, fa natahotra indrindra izy.

²⁴and all the men of Israel when they see the man flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.

²⁵Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely: Efa hitanareo va io lehilahy miakatra io? Hihaika ny Isiraely no iakarany; koa izay lehilahy mahafaty io dia hataon'ny mpanjaka manan-karem-bevava, ary dia homeny koa ny zananivavy ho vadiny, sady tsy hampandoavin-ketra amin'ny Isiraely ny tarana-drainy.

²⁵And the men of Israel say, `Have ye seen this man who is coming up? for, to reproach Israel he is coming up, and it hath been — the man who smiteth him, the king doth enrich him with great riches, and his daughter he doth give to him, and his father`s house doth make free in Israel.`

²⁶Ary hoy Davida tamin'ny olona teo anilany: Ahoana sy ahoana ange no hatao amin'izay lehilahy mahafaty io Filistina io ka mahafa-tondromaso ny Isiraely? Fa zinona moa io Filistina tsy mifora io, no dia hihaika ny miaramilan'Andriamanitra velona?

²⁶And David speaketh unto the men who are standing by him, saying, `What is done to the man who smiteth this Philistine, and hath turned aside reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of the living God?`

²⁷Ary ny olona namaly hoe: Izany ka izany no hatao amin'izay lehilahy mahafaty azy.

²⁷And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, `Thus it is done to the man who smiteth him.`

²⁸Ary Eliaba zokiny nandre azy niteny tamin'ny olona dia nirehitra tamin'i Davida ny fahatezerany, ka hoy izy: Nahoana ianao no midina etỳ? Ary amin'iza moa no namelanao ireny ondry vitsy ireny any an-efitra? fantatro ny avonavonao sy ny faharatsian'ny fonao, fa hizaha ny ady no idinanao etỳ.

²⁸And Eliab, his eldest brother, heareth when he speaketh unto the men, and the anger of Eliab burneth against David, and he saith, `Why [is] this — thou hast come down! and to whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known thy pride, and the evil of thy heart — for, to see the battle thou hast come down.`

²⁹Ary hoy Davida: Moa maninona aho izao? Mba miteny aho, ka nahoana moa?

²⁹And David saith, `What have I done now? is it not a word?`

³⁰Ary niala teo aminy hankany amin'ny sasany koa izy ka niteny tahaka ny teo; ary ny olona namaly azy tahaka ny teo ihany indray.

³⁰And he turneth round from him unto another, and saith according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.

³¹Ary nony ren'ny olona ny teny izay nataon'i Davida, dia nambarany tamin'i Saoly; ka dia naniraka naka azy izy.

³¹And the words which David hath spoken are heard, and they declare before Saul, and he receiveth him;

³²Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Saoly: Aoka tsy ho ketraka amin'ilehio ny fon'ny olona; fa ny mpanomponao handeha hiady amin'io Filistina io.

³²and David saith unto Saul, `Let no man`s heart fall because of him, thy servant doth go, and hath fought with this Philistine.`

³³Fa hoy Saoly tamin'i Davida: Tsy tohanao ny handeha hiady amin'io Filistina io, satria mbola zaza ianao, fa izy efa mpiady hatrizay niainany.

³³And Saul saith unto David, `Thou art not able to go unto this Philistine, to fight with him, for a youth thou [art], and he a man of war from his youth.`

³⁴Fa hoy Davida tamin'i Saoly: Ny mpanomponao niandry ny ondrin-drainy, ary nisy liona sy bera tonga tao ka nahalasa zanak'ondry teo amin'ny ondry,

³⁴And David saith unto Saul, `A shepherd hath thy servant been to his father among the sheep, and the lion hath come — and the bear — and hath taken away a sheep out of the drove,

³⁵dia nanenjika azy aho ka namely azy, ary azoko teny am-bavany ilay zanak'ondry; ary nony handramatra ahy izy, dia nohazoniko tamin'ny somony, ary nasiako ka matiko.

³⁵and I have gone out after him, and smitten him, and delivered out of his mouth, and he riseth against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and smitten him, and put him to death.

³⁶Ny liona sy ny bera samy novonoin'ny mpanomponao; ary io Filistina tsy mifora io dia ho tahaka ny anankiray amin'ireny, satria nihaika ny miaramilan'Andriamanitra velona izy.

³⁶Both the lion and the bear hath thy servant smitten, and this uncircumcised Philistine hath been as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of the living God.`

³⁷Ary hoy koa Davida; Jehovah, Izay namonjy ahy tamin'ny tanan'ny liona sy ny bera, Izy no hamonjy ahy amin'ny tanan'io Filistina io. Dia hoy Saoly tamin'i Davida; Mandehana, ary homba anao anie Jehovah.

³⁷And David saith, `Jehovah, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He doth deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.` And Saul saith unto David, `Go, and Jehovah is with thee.`

³⁸Ary Saoly nampiakanjo an'i Davida ny akanjo fiadiany ary nanisy fiarovan-doha varahina tamin'ny lohany sy nampiakanjo azy akanjo fiarovan-tratra.[Vy na varahina nifanindritsindry lany tahaka ny kiran'ny hazan-drano]

³⁸And Saul clotheth David with his long robe, and hath put a helmet of brass on his head, and doth clothe him with a coat of mail.

³⁹Ary Davida namehy ny sabany tamin'ny akanjo fiadiany, dia nanandrana handeha; fa tsy mbola nahazatra azy izany, ka hoy izy tamin'i Saoly: Tsy afa-mandeha amin'ireto aho, fa tsy mbola nahazatra ahy; ary dia nesorin'i Davida izany.

³⁹And David girded his sword above his long robe, and beginneth to go, for he hath not tried [it]; and David saith unto Saul, `I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried;` and David turneth them aside from off him.

⁴⁰Dia nitondra ny tehiny teny an-tànany izy sady nifidy vato kilonjy dimy tao amin'ny lohasahan-driaka, ka nataony tao anatin'ny kitapo fitondran'ny mpiandry ondry, izay teny aminy, ary ny antsamotadiny koa teny an-tànany; dia nanatona ilay Filistina izy.

⁴⁰And he taketh his staff in his hand, and chooseth for him five smooth stones from the brook, and putteth them in the shepherds` habiliments that he hath, even in the scrip, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draweth nigh unto the Philistine.

⁴¹Ary ilay Filistina nandroso nanatona an'i Davida, sady teo alohany ilay lehilahy mitondra ny ampinga lehibe.

⁴¹And the Philistine goeth on, going and drawing near unto David, and the man bearing the buckler [is] before him,

⁴²Ary nony nijerijery an'i Davida ilay Filistina ka nahita azy, dia nianjonanjona taminy, fa tanora izy sady mena volo no tsara tarehy.[Na: tendron-tava]

⁴²and the Philistine looketh attentively, and seeth David, and despiseth him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.

⁴³Ary hoy ilay Filistina tamin'i Davida: Alika angaha aho, no hatonin'ialahy amin'ny tehina? Ary nanozona an'i Davida tamin'ireo andriamaniny ilay Filistina

⁴³And the Philistine saith unto David, `Am I a dog that thou art coming unto me with staves?` and the Philistine revileth David by his gods,

⁴⁴sady nanao tamin'i Davida hoe: Avia etỳ amiko, dia homeko ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ny nofon'ialahy.

⁴⁴and the Philistine saith unto David, `Come unto me, and I give thy flesh to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.`

⁴⁵Fa hoy kosa Davida tamin'ilay Filistina: Hianao manatona ahy amin'ny sabatra sy ny lefona ary ny lefom-pohy; fa izaho kosa manatona anao amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny miaramilan'ny Isiraely, Izay efa nohaikainao.

⁴⁵And David saith unto the Philistine, `Thou art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming unto thee in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which thou hast reproached.

⁴⁶Anio no hanoloran'i Jehovah anao amin'ny tanako, ary hamely anao aho ka hanapaka ny lohanao, dia homeko ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ny fatin'ny miaramilan'ny Filistina anio, mba ho fantatry ny tany rehetra fa manana Andriamanitra tokoa ny Isiraely.

⁴⁶This day doth Jehovah shut thee up into my hand — and I have smitten thee, and turned aside thy head from off thee, and given the carcase of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth do know that God is for Israel.

⁴⁷Ary ho fantatr'izao fiangonana rehetra izao fa tsy sabatra sy lefona no amonjen'i Jehovah; fa an'i Jehovah ny ady, ary hanolotra anareo ho eo an-tananay Izy.

⁴⁷and all this assembly do know that not by sword and by spear doth Jehovah save, that the battle [is] Jehovah`s, and He hath given you into our hand.`

⁴⁸Ary nony niainga ilay Filistina ka nanatona hitsena an'i Davida, dia nandroso faingana Davida ka nihazakazaka ho eo amin'ny laharan'ny miaramila hitsena ilay Filistina.

⁴⁸And it hath come to pass, that the Philistine hath risen, and goeth, and draweth near to meet David, and David hasteth and runneth to the rank to meet the Philistine,

⁴⁹Ary natsofok'i Davida tao an-kitapo ny tananay, ka naka vato tao izy, ka dia nalefany tamin'ny antsamotady, ka nahavoa ilay Filistina tamin'ny handriny, ary nilentika tamin'ny handriny ny vato, dia potraka niankohoka tamin'ny tany izy.

⁴⁹and David putteth forth his hand unto the vessel, and taketh thence a stone, and slingeth, and smiteth the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinketh into his forehead, and he falleth on his face to the earth.

⁵⁰Toy izany no nandresen'i Davida ilay Filistina tamin'ny vaton'antsamotady, fa namely ilay Filistina izy ka nahafaty azy, ary tsy nisy sabatra teny an-tànan'i Davida.

⁵⁰And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,

⁵¹Dia nihazakazaka Davida ka nitsangana teo anilan'ilay Filistina, dia nalainy ny sabatr'ilehio ka notsoahany tamin'ny tranony, dia namonoany azy, sy nanapahany ny lohany. Ary nony hitan'ny Filistina fa maty ilay lehilahy maheriny, dia vaky nandositra izy.

⁵¹and David runneth and standeth over the Philistine, and taketh his sword, and draweth it out of its sheath, and putteth him to death, and cutteth off with it his head; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.

⁵²Ary ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely sy ny Joda dia nitsangana ka nanakora sy nanenjika ny Filistina hatrany akaikin'i Gay sy ny vavahadin'i Ekrona; ary izay voa tamin'ny Filistina dia niampatrampatra teny amin'ny lalana mankany Saraima ary hatrany Gata ka hatrany Ekrona.[Na: (Gata)]

⁵²And the men of Israel rise — also Judah — and shout, and pursue the Philistines till thou enter the valley, and unto the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron,

⁵³Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely niverina avy nanenjika mafy ny Filistina ka namabo ny tobiny koa.

⁵³and the sons of Israel turn back from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.

⁵⁴Ary ny lohan'ilay Filistina dia noraisin'i Davida ka nentiny tany Jerosalema; fa ny fiadiany napetrany tao amin'ny lainy.

⁵⁴And David taketh the head of the Philistine, and bringeth it in to Jerusalem, and his weapons he hath put in his own tent.

⁵⁵[Ny nitoeran'i Davida tao amin'i Saoly, sy ny nialonan'i Saoly azy] Ary nony nahita an'i Davida nandeha hiady tamin'ny Filistina Saoly, dia hoy izy tamin'i Abnera, komandin'ny miaramila: Ry Abnera, zanak'iza moa iny zaza iny? Ary hoy Abnera: Raha velona koa ny ainao, ry mpanjaka, tsy fantatro velively.

⁵⁵And when Saul seeth David going out to meet the Philistine, he hath said unto Abner, head of the host, `Whose son [is] this — the youth, Abner?` and Abner saith, `Thy soul liveth, O king, I have not known.`

⁵⁶Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Anontanionao na zanak'iza na zanak'iza iny zaza iny.

⁵⁶And the king saith, `Ask thou whose son this [is] — the young man.`

⁵⁷Ary nony niverina avy namono ilay Filistina Davida, dia nalain'i Abnera izy ka nentiny teo anatrehan'i Saoly, ary mbola teny an-tànany ihany ny lohan'ilay Filistina.Dia hoy Saoly taminy: Zanak'iza moa ianao, ry zatovo? Ary hoy Davida: Zanak'i Jese Betlehemita mpanomponao aho.

⁵⁷And when David turneth back from smiting the Philistine, then Abner taketh him and bringeth him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine in his hand;

⁵⁸Dia hoy Saoly taminy: Zanak'iza moa ianao, ry zatovo? Ary hoy Davida: Zanak'i Jese Betlehemita mpanomponao aho.

⁵⁸and Saul saith unto him, `Whose son [art] thou, O youth?` and David saith, `Son of thy servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.`
