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.

¹Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.

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

²Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against 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.

³The 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.

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

⁴There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was 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]

⁵He had a helmet of brass on his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

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

⁶He had brass shin armor on his legs, 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.

⁷The 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.

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.

⁸He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to 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 kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us.”

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

¹⁰The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”

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

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

¹²Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken 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;

¹³The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

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

¹⁴David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.

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

¹⁵Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

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

¹⁶The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented 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.

¹⁷Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;

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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”

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

¹⁹Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were 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.

²⁰David 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 army which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.

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

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

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.

²²David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.

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.

²³As 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 spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.

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

²⁴All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.

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.

²⁵The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house 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?

²⁶David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

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

²⁷The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills 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.

²⁸Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”

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

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

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.

³⁰He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.

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

³¹When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for 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.

³²David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight 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.

³³Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, 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,

³⁴David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,

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.

³⁵I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.

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.

³⁶Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies 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.

³⁷David said, “Yahweh who 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.” Saul said to David, “Go; and Yahweh shall be with you.”

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]

³⁸Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of brass on his head, and he clad 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.

³⁹David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these; for I have not tested them.” David took them off.

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.

⁴⁰He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet. His sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.

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

⁴¹The Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man who bore the shield went 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]

⁴²When the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair face.

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

⁴³The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed 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.

⁴⁴The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals 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.

⁴⁵Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

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.

⁴⁶Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in 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 that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear: for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give 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.

⁴⁸It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army 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.

⁴⁹David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell 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.

⁵⁰So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was 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.

⁵¹Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head therewith. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

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)]

⁵²The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

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

⁵³The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

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

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

⁵⁵When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”

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

⁵⁶The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!”

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.

⁵⁷As 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.

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

⁵⁸Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
