¹¶ Na kua huihui nga Pirihitini i a ratou ope ki te whawhai, a ka whakaminea ki Hokoho o Hura, noho ana i waenganui o Hokoho, o Ateka, i Epeheramime.

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.

²I huihui ano a Haora ratou ko nga tangata o Iharaira, i noho ki te raorao o Eraha; a ka whakatakoto i a ratou ngohi mo te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini.

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.

³Na i runga nga Pirihitini i te maunga i tenei taha e tu ana, me Iharaira i te maunga i tera taha e tu ana: he wharua hoki i waenganui o ratou.

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.

⁴Na ko te putanga o tetahi tangata, he papatu, i roto i te puni o nga Pirihitini, ko tona ingoa, ko Koriata, no Kata, e ono whatianga kotahi hoki whanganga a te ringa tona roa.

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.

⁵A he parahi te potae o tona matenga, he pukupuku unahi hoki tona kakahu: ko te taimaha o te pukupuku e rima mano hekere parahi.

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.

⁶He whakapuru tao parahi kei ona waewae, a i ona pokohiwi he timata parahi.

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

⁷Rite tonu hoki ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu te kakau o tana taora; na, ko te taimaha o te tete o tana taoroa e ono rau hekere rino: i mua ano i a ia e haere ana te kaimau o tana whakangungu rakau.

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.

⁸Na ka tu ia, a ka karanga ki nga ngohi a Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou i puta mai ai ki te whakatakoto i a koutou ngohi: ehara ianei ahau i te Pirihitini, ko koutou he pononga na Haora? whiriwhiria he tangata ma koutou, a kia heke ih o ia ki ahau.

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.

⁹Ki te kaha ia ki te whawhai ki ahau, ki te patu i ahau, na ko matou hei pononga ma koutou: ki te kaha ia ko ahau i a ia, ki te patu i a ia, na hei pononga koutou ma matou, a me mahi koutou ki a matou.

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.

¹⁰I mea ano taua Pirihitini, Tenei taku whakatara inaianei mo nga ngohi a Iharaira; homai he tangata ki ahau kia whawhai maua.

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

¹¹A, i te rongonga o Haora ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki enei kupu a te Pirihitini, hopi noa iho ratou, nui atu te wehi.

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

¹²¶ Na, he tama a Rawiri na taua Eparati o Peterehema Hura, ko Hehe nei tona ingoa, tokowaru hoki ana tama: a i nga ra o Haora kua koroheketia taua tangata i roto i nga tangata.

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.

¹³Na, tokotoru nga tama a Hehe, ko nga kaumatua, i haere, i aru i a Haora ki te pakanga: ko nga ingoa enei o ana tama tokotoru i haere nei ki te pakanga, ko Eriapa te matamua, ko to muri iho i a ia ko Apinarapa, a ko Hamaha te tuatoru.

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.

¹⁴Ko Rawiri hoki to muri rawa: na aru ana nga mea kaumatua tokotoru i a Haora.

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

¹⁵Na haere ai a Rawiri, a ka hoki atu i a Haora ki te tiaki i nga hipi a tona papa i Peterehema.

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

¹⁶Na i te ata, i te ahiahi, ka whakatata mai taua Pirihitini, ka whakaatu i a ia, e wha tekau nga ra.

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

¹⁷Na ka mea a Hehe ki tana tama, ki a Rawiri, Tena, maua atu tetahi wahi o tenei witi pahuhu, kia kotahi epa, ma ou tuakana, me enei taro kotahi tekau, rere atu ki te puni, ki ou tuakana;

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;

¹⁸Maua atu hoki enei tiihi kotahi tekau ki to ratou rangatira mano, ka tirotiro atu kei te pehea ou tuakana, ka tango mai ai i a ratou tohu.

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

¹⁹Na i te raorao o Eraha a Haora me ratou, me nga tangata katoa hoki o Iharaira e whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini.

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

²⁰Na ka maranga wawe a Rawiri i te ata, tukua atu ana e ia nga hipi ki te kaitiaki, a mauria ana aua mea e ia, haere ana; pera ana ia me ta Hehe i whakahau ai ki a ia. A, no tona taenga ki te parepare e haere ana te ope ki te whawhai, e hamama ana, mo te whai.

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.

²¹Kua oti hoki i a Iharaira ratou ko nga Pirihitini nga ngohi te whakatakoto, tenei ngohi hei whawhai ki tera ngohi.

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

²²Na tukua ana e Rawiri tana pikaunga ki te ringa o te kaitiaki o nga pikaunga, a rere ana ki te taua, ka tae, ka oha ki ona tuakana.

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.

²³I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, na ko taua papatu, ko te Pirihitini o Kata, ko Koriata tona ingoa, e haere mai ana i roto i nga ngohi a nga Pirihitini, a ka korero ko aua korero ra ano, a ka rongo a Rawiri.

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.

²⁴A, i te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i taua tangata, rere ana ratou i tona aroaro, a nui atu to ratou wehi.

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

²⁵Na ka mea nga tangata o Iharaira, I kite ranei koutou i taua tangata i haere mai nei? He pono he whakatara mo Iharaira i haere mai ai ia: na, ko te tangata e patua ai ia, nui atu nga taonga e homai e te kingi ki a ia, ka homai ano e ia tana tama hine ki a ia, ka whakarangatiratia ano te whare o tona papa i roto i a Iharaira.

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.

²⁶Na ka korero a Rawiri ki nga tangata e tu ana i tona taha, ka mea, Ka peheatia te tangata e patua ai tenei Pirihitini, e mutu ai te tawai o Iharaira? ko wai hoki tenei Pirihitini kokotikore i whakatara ai ia ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora?

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?

²⁷Na ka penei te whakahoki a te iwi ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Ka pera ano te hanga ki te tangata, e patua ai ia.

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

²⁸A, no te rongonga o Eriapa, o tona tuakana matamua, i a ia e korero ana ki aua tangata, ko te tino muranga o te riri o Eriapa ki a Rawiri, ka mea ia He aha koe i haere mai ai? i tukua e koe ki a wai aua hipi torutoru ra i te koraha? e mohio ana ahau ki tou whakapehapeha, ki te kino ano hoki o tou ngakau, he matakitaki hoki i te whawhai i haere mai ai koe ki raro nei.

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.

²⁹Na ka mea a Rawiri, I aha koia ahau? Kahore ranei he take?

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

³⁰Na ka tahuri atu ia i a ia ki tetahi atu, a ka korero atu ko aua kupu ano; a rite tonu ki te kupu tuatahi te kupu i whakahokia mai e te iwi ki a ia.

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

³¹¶ A, no ka rangona nga kupu i korerotia e Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou ki a Haora; a ka tono ia kia tikina ia.

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

³²Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Kei hopi te ngakau o tetahi ki a ia: ma tau pononga e haere ki te whawhai ki tenei Pirihitini.

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

³³Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, E kore e taea e koe te haere ki tenei Pirihitini whawhai ai: he tamariki nei hoki koe, he tangata hapai patu ia no tona tamarikitanga ake.

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.

³⁴Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, I te tiaki tau pononga i nga hipi a tona papa; na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi raiona, o tetahi pea, kahakina atu ana he reme i roto i te kahui;

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:

³⁵Na ka puta atu ahau ki te whai i a ia, a patua ana ia e ahau: tangohia mai ana hoki te reme i roto i tona waha; a, no tona whakatikanga mai ki ahau, hopukia ana tona kumikumi e ahau, patua iho kia mate.

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.

³⁶I patua ruruatia te raiona me te pea e tau pononga; a ka rite tenei Pirihitini kokotikore ki tetahi o raua; mona i whakatara ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora.

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.

³⁷I mea ano a Rawiri, Ma Ihowa nana nei ahau i whakaora i te wae o te raiona, i te wae o te pea, mana ahau e whakaora i te ringa o tenei Pirihitini. Ano ra ko Haora ki a Rawiri, Haere, hei a koe ano a Ihowa.

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.

³⁸Na ka whakakakahuria a Rawiri e Haora ki ona kakahu, i potaea ano tona matenga e ia ki te potae parahi: i whakakakahuria ano hoki e ia he pukupuku rino ki a ia.

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.

³⁹A whitikiria ana e Rawiri tana hoari ki waho ake o ona kakahu; ka anga, ka haere; kihai hoki i whakamatauria e ia. Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, E kore e tika taku haere i enei, kahore hoki i whakamatauria e ahau. Na whakarerea atu ana e Rawiri.

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.

⁴⁰¶ Na ka maua atu e ia ko tana tokotoko i tona ringa; i whiriwhiria ano etahi kohatu maeneene e rima mana i roto i te awa, a whaowhina ana ki roto ki tana peke hepara, ara ki te putea; i tona ringa ano tana kotaha, na ko tona whakatatanga atu ki te Pirihitini.

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.

⁴¹A i haere tonu mai te Pirihitini, i whakatata mai ki a Rawiri; ko te kaimau ano o tana whakangungu rakau i haere i mua i a ia.

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

⁴²A, no te tirotirohanga o te Pirihitini, ka kite i a Rawiri, whakahawea ana ki a ia; he taitamariki hoki ia, he kiri puwhero, he ataahua hoki.

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.

⁴³Na ka mea te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, He kuri ahau i haere mai ai koe me nga tokotoko ki ahau? Na, kanga iho a Rawiri e te Pirihitini ki ona atua.

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.

⁴⁴I mea ano te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, Haere mai ki ahau, a ka hoatu e ahau ou kikokiko ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te parae.

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.

⁴⁵Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki te Pirihitini, I haere mai koe ki ahau me te hoari, me te taoroa, me te timata: ko ahau ia ka haere atu nei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, o te Atua o nga taua a Iharaira, o tau i whakatara ake na.

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.

⁴⁶Ko aianei koe tukua mai ai e Ihowa ki toku ringa, a ka patua koe e ahau, ka tangohia tou upoko i a koe, a ka hoatu aianei nga tinana o te ope o nga Pirihitini ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe mohoao o te whenua, a ka mohio te whenua katoa he Atua ano to Iharaira.

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.

⁴⁷A ka mohio tenei whakaminenga katoa, ehara te hoari, te taoroa ranei, i ta Ihowa mea hei whakaora: na Ihowa hoki te whawhai, a mana koutou e homai ki o matou ringa.

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.

⁴⁸¶ Na ka whakatika te Pirihitini, ka haere mai, ka whakatata ki te whakatutaki i a Rawiri, na ka hohoro a Rawiri, a rere ana ki te taua kia tutaki ki te Pirihitini.

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.

⁴⁹Na kua totoro iho te ringa o Rawiri ki roto ki te peke, kei te tango i tetahi kohatu i roto, piua atu ana e ia, na kua tu te rae o te Pirihitini, toremi atu te kohatu ki roto ki tona rae. Na hinga tapapa iho ana ia ki te whenua.

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.

⁵⁰Heoi he kotaha, he kohatu ta Rawiri, a hinga ana i a ia te Pirihitini, patua ana e ia, mate rawa. Otiia kahore he hoari i te ringa o Rawiri

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.

⁵¹Katahi ka rere a Rawiri, a tu ana i runga i te Pirihitini, na ka mau ki tana hoari, unuhia ana e ia i roto i te takotoranga, na whakamatea ana ia, a tapahia ana tona upoko ki taua hoari. A, no te kitenga o nga Pirihitini kua mate to ratou toa, w hati ana ratou.

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.

⁵²Na ka whakatika nga tangata o Iharaira ratou ko Hura, hamama ana, na whaia ana e ratou nga Pirihitini a tae noa koe ki te raorao, ki nga kuwaha o Ekerono. Na hinga ana nga mea i patua o nga Pirihitini i te ara ki Haaraimi a tae noa ki Kata, ki E kerono.

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.

⁵³Na ka hoki nga tama a Iharaira i te whai i nga Pirihitini, na kei te pahua i to ratou puni.

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

⁵⁴Na ka mau a Rawiri ki te upoko o te Pirihitini, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama: ko ana mea ia mo te patu i waiho e ia i tona teneti.

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

⁵⁵Na, i te kitenga o Haora i a Rawiri e haere atu ana ki te tu i te Pirihitini, ka mea ia ki a Apanere, ki te rangatira ope, E Apanere, he tama na wai tena tamaiti? ka mea a Apanere, E ora ana tou wairua, e te kingi, kahore ahau e mohio.

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.

⁵⁶Na ka mea te kingi, Ui atu he tama na wai taua tamaiti.

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

⁵⁷Na i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka mau a Apanere ki a ia, a kawea ana ki te aroaro o Haora, me te pane ano o te Pirihitini i tona ringa.

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.

⁵⁸Na ka mea a Haora ki a ia, E tama, na wai koe tamaiti? Ano ra ko Rawiri, He tama ahau na tau pononga, na Hehe o Peterehema.

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.
