¹Huan, Philistia miten kidou dingin a sepaihte uh a kaikhawm ek ua, Judia gamsung Soko khua ah a kikhawm khawm ua, Ephesdamim munah Soko khua leh Azeka kho kikalah panmun a bawl uhi.

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.

²Huan, Saula leh Israel mite a kikhawm khawm ua, Ela guam ah panmun a bawl ua, Philistia mite na dal dingin a kijak phalh uh.

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.

³Huan, Philistia mite tang pangah a om ua, huan, Israel mite bel a langkhat tang pangah a om ua, a kikal uah guam a om.

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.

⁴Huan, Philistia mite panmun akipanin a mi hat uh, a min Goliath, Gath khua mi, tong guk leh khap khata sang a hongpawt khiaa.

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.

⁵Dal lukhu a khu a, awmphaw a silha; a awmphaw giklam a hihleh dal sekel sang nga ahi.

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.

⁶A ngal ah dalngalphaw a bun a, a nungjang ah dal tei ta a kuah hi.

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

⁷A tei peu siamkol bang ahi a; huan, a tei lu bel sik sekel ja guka gik ahi: huan, a phaw popa a maah a pai hi.

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.

⁸Huan, a dinga, Israelte sepaihte a sam a, a kiang uah, bangdia kidou dinga hong phalh na hi ua? Kei Philistia mi, nou Saula sikha na hi kei uh maw? Mi kitel unla ka kiangah hongpai suk heh.

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.

⁹honsual theiha hon hihlup leh na sikha un ka om ding uh: ahihhangin ken ka zoha ka hihlup leh ka sikha un na om ding ua, ka na uh na sem ding uh, a chi a.

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.

¹⁰Huan, Philistia miin, Tuniin Israel sepaihte ka tou a, mi khat hon kuansak unla ka na kisual ding uh, a chi a.

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

¹¹Huan, Saula leh Israelte tengtengin huai Philistia mi thugente a jak un, a lunglel ua, lau petmahin a lauta uh.

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

¹²Huan, David Jesai tapa ahi a, amah bel Bethlehem-Judaa Ephrat mi ahi a, tapa giat a nei hi; amah bel Saulain vai a hawm laiin tek tak ahi khina, tek taka ngaih ahikhin hi.

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.

¹³Huan, Jesai tapa upate thumin kidouna ah Saula a jui ua. A tapa thum kidounaa hohte min a upapen Eliab, a zom Abinadab, a thumna Sam ahi uh.

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.

¹⁴Huan, David bel a naupangpen ahi; huan, a upa thumten Saula a jui uh.

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

¹⁵David bel Saula kiang akipanin Bethlehem ah a pa belam kemin a vahoh zihzeh hi.

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

¹⁶Huan, Philistia miin jingsang leh nitak tengin a vanaih sek a, ni sawmli sung a va kitaklang nak hi.

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

¹⁷Huan, Jesai in a tapa David kiangah, vaimim kan ephah khat leh hiai tanghou beu sawm pua inla, na unaute kiangah a giahmun uh va hohpih pah dih ve;

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;

¹⁸Huan, bawngnawitui dat khal sawm a pawl ua sang heutupa adin puak sak inla; huan, na unaute bangchiin a om ua va dong inla a tanchin theihna honpuakin.

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

¹⁹Saula leh amau leh Israel mi tengteng Philistia mite sualin Ela guam ah a om uhi, a chi a.

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

²⁰Huan, David jing khangin a thou a, belamte bel chingmi khat a kemsaka, Jesaiin thu a piak dungjuiin a pua a, a kuanta a; huan, kidouna muna pawtkhe lel sepaihte kisual dinga a kikou juajua lai tak un amah kangtalai omna mun a va tung hi.

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.

²¹Huan, Israelte leh Philistia mite kisual dingin a na kikhung ua, sepaih leh sepaih a na kigal sai ua.

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

²²Huan, Davidin a van van kemmi kiangah a koiha, sepaihte kianglam ah a va taia, a ute chibai a va buk hi.

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.

²³Huan, amaute a houpih laitakin ngaiin, a mi hat uh Gath khuaa Philistia mi a min Goliath Philistia mite sepaih pawl laka kipan a hongpai suka, a thugen ngei mah a hon gen nawn a: huai thu Davidin a zata hi.

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.

²⁴Huan, Israel mi tengtengin huai mi amuh un, a taikek ua lau petmahin a lau uh.

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

²⁵Huan, Israel miten, huai mihing hongkuan khia na mu hia? Israel mite tou dinga hongkuankhia a hina hi; kuapeuh amah hihlum kumpipan nakpi takin sum lamin a hihhausa dinga, huan, a tanu a pe dinga, huan, a pa inkuan Israelte lakah nuamlenin a omsak ding, a chi ua.

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.

²⁶Huan, Davidin a kianga dingte kiangah, hiai Philistia mi hihluma Israelte minsiatna hihdaimi bel bangchia bawl ding ahi ding? Hiai zeksumlouh Philistia mi kua ahia a hiha, Pathian hing sepaihte a tou vial mahmah? A chi a.

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?

²⁷Huan, mipiten hichiin a dawng ua, amah hihlum peuhmah ka gen bang ua bawl ahi ding, a chi ua.

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

²⁸Huan, a u upapen Eliabin mite kianga a thugen lai a najaa; huchiin Eliab David tungah a heh guiha, bangdinga hong suk na hia? gamdaia belam tamlou omte kua chingsak na hia? na kisaktheihdan leh na lungsim hoihlouh dan ka thei; kidou en ding bangin na hong mawkmawka, a chi a.

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.

²⁹Huan, Davidin, bang ka hiha ahia? a jiak a om ahi kei maw? achi a.

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

³⁰Huan, aman mi dang lam a ngatsana, a gen ngei mah a gen a: huan, mipiten a maa a dawn bangmah un a dawng nawn ua.

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

³¹Huan, David thugen a jak un Saula kiangah a gensawn ua; huan, aman a sam a.

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

³²Huan, Davidin Saula kiangah, amah jiakin kuamah lungsim lunglel kei heh; na sikha huai Philistia mi ka vasual ding, a chi a.

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

³³Huan, Saula in David kiangah, nang jaw huai Philistia mi sual dingin na kuan thei tel kei ding e, valnou phet lah na hi ngala, amah lah a valnou tung akipan kidoumi ahi ngala, a chi a.

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.

³⁴Huan, Davidin Saula kiangah, na sikhain a pa belamte a chi laiin, humpinelkai hiam vompi hiam a hong kuana, belam hon laka kipanin belamnou a mana.

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:

³⁵Ka delhjuia, ka suala, a kam akipanin ka honkhe zel: huan amah a honsual tumin a hong dinga, ken a baksam ah ka mana, ka suala, ka hihlum jel hi.

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.

³⁶Na sikhain humpinelkai leh vompi te ka hihlum tuaktuak jel hi; huai zeksum louh Philistia mi amau bangin a om tei mai ding hi, Pathian hing sepaihte a tou viala, a chi a.

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.

³⁷Huan, Davidin, humpinelkai khutbom akipan leh vompi khutbom akipan kei hon honkhepa TOUPAN huai Philistia mi khut akipan a hon honkhe ding, a chi a. Huan, Saulain David kiangah, pai dih, na kiangah TOUPA om nave, a chi a.

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.

³⁸Huan, Saulain amah galthuam David a silhsaka, dak lukhu a khusaka, awmphaw a silhsak hi.

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.

³⁹Huan, Davidin a galvan tungah a namsau a kuaha, pai din a kisa a; huchibang in lah a hih chiamteh ngei naikei a. Huan, Davidin Saula kiangah, ka paipih thei sin kei hial ka chi, hichibangin ka hih chiamteh ngeikei, a chi a. Huchiin David a kisuahta hi.

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.

⁴⁰Huan, achiang a tawia, luitaa suang mum mam pilhpelh nga a tela, a belam chinna ip a kawljal ah a kuaha; huan, a vaisuanglot a tawia, Philistia mi a va juan naita hi.

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.

⁴¹Huan, Philistia mi a hongpai jela, David a juan nai hulhula; huan, lum tawipa a maah a paia.

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

⁴²Huan, Philistia min a en vialviala, David a muh leh a simmoh, mahmah maia; san chiuchiau. Mit hah kilawm tak, valnou lel lah ahi ngala.

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.

⁴³Huchiin Philistia miin David kiangah, ui ka hi maw chiangte toh ka kiang a na hong? A chi a. Huchiin Philistia min apathiante louin David a hamsiat khumta.

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.

⁴⁴Huan, Philistia miin David kiangah, hong dih, na sate tung a leng vasate leh gamsate ka na nesak ding a chi a.

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.

⁴⁵Huchiin Davidin Philistia mi kiangah, nang jaw namsau te, tei te, teita te tawiin nong kuana; kei jaw sepaihte TOUPA, Israel sepaihte Pathian na toupa minin ka hongkuan jaw hi.

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.

⁴⁶Tuniin TOUPAN nang ka khut ah a honpe sin hi; huan, ka hon that dinga na lutang ka hon tansak ding; huan, Philistia sepaihte luangte tuniin tunga leng vasate leh gamsate ka nesak sin hi; huchiin, leitunga mi tengtengin Israelte laka Pathian a om chih a thei thei ding uh:

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.

⁴⁷Huan, hiai laia kikhawm khawmte tengtengin TOUPAN namsau leh teiin a hondam kei chih a thei thei ding ua; kidouna lah TOUPA kidouna ahi ngala, aman ka khut uah noute a honpe sin hi, a chi a.

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.

⁴⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, Philistia mi a hongkuana David sual dinga a hon naih leh David bel sepaihte lamah Philistia mi sual dingin a tai gepgepa.

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.

⁴⁹Huan, Davidin a ip a sawka, suang a lakhiaa, a vaisuanglotin a lawna, Philistia mi a taltang takah a denga, a tal ah suang a luta, a khupin a puk helhul maimah hi.

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.

⁵⁰Huchiin Davidin Philistia mi tuh vaisuanglot leh suangin a zoua, Philistia mi a denga, a thatta hi; Davidin bel namsau a tawi hetkei hi.

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.

⁵¹Huchiin David a taia, Philistia mi kiangah a va dinga, a namsau a laa, a pai akipan a doka huaiin a thata, a lu a tanta hi. Huan, Philistia miten a mi hat uh a sita chih a theih un a taikek ta uh.

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.

⁵²Huan, Israel mi leh Juda mite a thou ua, a kikou ua, Philistia mite Gath pha leh Ekron kulh kongkhak phain a delh uh. Huan, Philistia mite laka liamte Saaraim lam tawnin Gath leh Ekron phain a puk zengzung maimah uhi.

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.

⁵³Huan, Israel suanten Philistia mite a delh uh a kisan ua, a giahmun uh a lok uh.

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

⁵⁴Huan, Davidin Philistia mi a lu a laa, Jerusalem ah a paipiha, a galvan bel a puanin ah a koih hi.

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

⁵⁵Saulain Philistia mi sual dinga David kuan a muhin sepaih heutu Abner kiangah, Abner, hiai valnou kua ta ahia? a chi a. Huan, Abnerin, na hinna louin ka gen, toupa aw, ka thei het kei mawk, a chi a.

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.

⁵⁶Huan, kumpipan, hiai naupang kua ta hiam dong khiain, a chi a.

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

⁵⁷Huan, David, Philistia mi that a hongpaiin Abnerin a pia, Philistia mi lu tawi kawmin Saula kiangah a paipiha.Huan, Saulain a kiangah, kua tapa na hia oi, tangval? A chi a. Huan, Davidin a dawnga, bethlehem mi na sikha Jesai tapa ka hi, a chi a.

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.

⁵⁸Huan, Saulain a kiangah, kua tapa na hia oi, tangval? A chi a. Huan, Davidin a dawnga, bethlehem mi na sikha Jesai tapa ka hi, a chi a.

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.
