¹A Filištíni sobrali svoje vojská do boja a shromaždili sa pri Sochu, ktoré patrí Júdovi, a položili sa táborom medzi Sochom a medzi Azékou, v Éfes-dammime.

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;

²A shromaždili sa aj Saul a synovia Izraelovi a položili sa táborom v doline Éla a zriadili sa do boja proti Filištínom.

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.

³A Filištíni stáli na svahu vrchu z jednej strany, a Izraeliti stáli na svahu vrchu z druhej strany, a dolina bola medzi nimi.

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.

⁴A vyšiel súbojník z vojska Filištínov, ktorému bolo meno Goliáš, z Gátu; vysoký bol šesť lakťov a piaď;

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,

⁵na hlave mal medenú prilbu a oblečený bol v šupinatom pancieri, ktorý vážil päť tisíc šeklov medi;

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,

⁶na svojich nohách mal medené plechovice a medený štít medzi svojimi plecami,

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

⁷a drevo jeho kopije bolo jako tkáčsky návoj, a hrot jeho kopije vážil šesťsto šeklov železa, a ten, ktorý nosil jeho veľký štít, išiel pred ním.

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.

⁸A postaviac sa volal na bojové rady Izraelove a vravel im: Načo ste vyšli postaviť sa do boja? Či nie som ja Filištín a vy služobníci Saulovi? Vyberte si muža, ktorý by sišiel ku mne!

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;

⁹Ak bude môcť bojovať so mnou a zabije ma, vtedy vám budeme za sluhov, a jestli ja jeho premôžem a zabijem ho, budete vy nám za sluhov a budete nám slúžiť.

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.`

¹⁰A krome toho vravel Filištín: Ja som dnes pohanil vojská Izraelove. Nože mi tedy dajte muža, aby sme sa spolu borili!

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

¹¹Keď počul Saul a celý Izrael tie slová Filištína, zľakli sa a báli sa veľmi.

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

¹²A tedy Dávid bol synom muža Efraťana, toho z Betlehema Júdovho, ktorému bolo meno Izai a ktorý mal osem synov. A človek žil za dní Saulových a bol už starý, pošlý vekom medzi ľuďmi.

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;

¹³A traja najstarší synovia Izaiho odíduc išli tiež za Saulom do boja. A mená jeho troch synov, ktorí boli odišli do boja, boly: Eliáb, prvorodený, a prvý po ňom Abinadáb a druhý Šamma.

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.

¹⁴Dávid bol najmladší. A teda tí traja najstarší išli za Saulom.

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

¹⁵A Dávid odchádzaval a vše sa vrátil od Saula zase pásť ovce svojho otca do Betlehema.

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

¹⁶A Filištín prichádzaval blízko skoro za rána a večer a postavoval sa tak štyridsať dní.

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

¹⁷A Izai povedal Dávidovi, svojmu synovi: Nože vezmi pre svojich bratov efu tohoto praženého zrna a týchto desať chlebov a bež s tým do tábora za svojimi bratmi.

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;

¹⁸A týchto desať čerstvých syrcov zanesieš veliteľovi ich tisíca a navštíviš svojich bratov a zvieš, ako sa majú, a vezmeš ich záloh.

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.`

¹⁹Medzitým Saul aj oni i všetci mužovia Izraelovi boli v doline Éla bojujúc s Filištínmi.

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

²⁰Vtedy vstal Dávid skoro ráno a sveriac stádo na strážneho vzal a išiel, tak ako mu prikázal Izai, a prišiel až k vozom a k vojsku, ktoré práve vychádzalo do šíku a kričalo do boja.

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;

²¹A postavil sa do šíku Izrael i Filištíni, šík proti šíku.

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

²²Tu zanechal Dávid veci, ktoré složil so seba, pri tom, ktorý strážil batožinu, a bežal do vojska, pripraveného do boja. A prijdúc ta pýtal sa svojich bratov, ako sa majú?

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.

²³Ale kým on hovoril s nimi, tu hľa, prichádzal hore postredný súbojník, Goliáš Filištínsky menom, z Gátu, z bojovných radov Filištínov a zase hovoril slová jako tamtie, a Dávid to počul.

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;

²⁴A všetci mužovia Izraelovi, keď uvideli muža, utekali pred ním a báli sa veľmi.

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

²⁵A mužovia Izraelovi vraveli medzi sebou: Či ste videli muža, ktorý to išiel sem hore? Lebo nato chodí sem hore, aby hanobil Izraela. A preto muža, ktorý by ho zabil, obohatí kráľ veľkým bohatstvom a dá mu svoju dcéru za ženu a učiní dom jeho otca slobodným v Izraelovi.

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.`

²⁶Na to riekol Dávid mužom, ktorí stáli pri ňom, a povedal: Čože sa to učiní mužovi, ktorý zabije tohoto Filištína a sníme pohanu s Izraela? Lebo ktože je ten neobrezaný Filištín, že uvodí pohanu na vojská živého Boha?

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?`

²⁷A ľud mu odpovedal tie isté slová a riekol: Tak sa učiní mužovi, ktorý ho zabije.

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

²⁸Ale počul to Eliáb, jeho najstarší brat, keď hovoril s mužmi, a nahneval sa na Dávida a povedal: Prečo si sišiel sem? A na koho si nechal tých niekoľko oviec na púšti? Ja znám tvoju pýchu a zlobu tvojho srdca, lebo si nato prišiel sem dolu, aby si videl bitku.

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.`

²⁹A Dávid riekol: Čože som teraz urobil? Či mi nebolo rozkázané?

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

³⁰A Dávid obrátiac sa od neho k inému, pýtal sa to isté. A ľud mu odpovedal zase tak ako prv.

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

³¹A keď počuli ľudia slová, ktoré hovoril Dávid, oznámili to Saulovi, ktorý ho povolal k sebe.

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

³²A Dávid riekol Saulovi: Nech sa neľaká srdce človeka pre neho; tvoj služobník pojde a bude bojovať s tým Filištínom.

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

³³Na to povedal Saul Dávidovi: Nebudeš môcť ísť proti tomu Filištínovi, aby si bojoval s ním, lebo ty si iba mládenček, a on je bojovník od svojej mladosti.

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.`

³⁴Ale Dávid odpovedal Saulovi: Tvoj služobník bol pastierom svojho otca pri drobnom stáde, a keď prišiel lev alebo medveď a niesol preč nejaké dobytča, ovcu alebo kozu, zo stáda,

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,

³⁵vyšiel som za ním a bil som ho a tak som vytrhol z jeho tlamy. A keď sa oboril na mňa, chytil som ho za jeho bradu a bil som ho dotiaľ, dokiaľ som ho nezabil.

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.

³⁶I ľva i medveďa zabil tvoj služobník, a ten neobrezaný Filištín bude jako jeden z nich, pretože hanobil vojská živého Boha.

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.`

³⁷A ešte povedal Dávid: Hospodin, ktorý ma vytrhol z moci ľva a z moci medveďa, on ma vytrhne i z ruky tohoto Filištína. Na to povedal Saul Dávidovi: Iď, a Hospodin bude s tebou:

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.`

³⁸Vtedy obliekol Saul Dávida do svojich šiat, dal medenú prilbu na jeho hlavu a dal ho obliecť do panciera.

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.

³⁹A Dávid si pripásal jeho meč na jeho šaty a chcel ísť, lebo ešte nebol zkúsil. Ale potom riekol Dávid Saulovi: Nemohol by som v tom ísť, lebo som neprivykol na to. A tak to složil Dávid so seba.

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.

⁴⁰Ale vzal svoju palicu do svojej ruky a vybral si päť hladkých kameňov z potoka a vložil ich medzi pastierske náčinie, ktoré mal, a do kabely, a svoj prak si vzal do svojej ruky a tak sa blížil k Filištínovi.

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.

⁴¹A išiel aj Filištín a blížil sa pozvoľna Dávidovi, a muž, ktorý niesol jeho veľký štít, išiel pred ním.

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

⁴²Keď potom pozrel Filištín a uvidel Dávida, pohŕdol ním, pretože bol iba mládenček, rumenný a krásnej postavy.

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

⁴³A Filištín povedal Dávidovi: Či som ja pes, že ideš ku mne s palicami? A Filištín zlorečil Dávidovi svojimi bohmi.

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,

⁴⁴A taktiež povedal Filištín Dávidovi: Nože poď ku mne, a dám tvoje telo nebeským vtákom a poľnej zveri!

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.`

⁴⁵Na to riekol Dávid Filištínovi: Ty ideš ku mne s mečom, s kopijou a so štítom, ale ja idem k tebe v mene Hospodina Zástupov, v mene Boha vojsk Izraelových, ktorému si sa rúhal.

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.

⁴⁶Dneská ťa vydá Hospodin do mojej ruky, a zabijem ťa a zotnem tvoju hlavu s teba a dnes vydám mŕtve telá tábora Filištínov nebeským vtákom a zemským šelmám, a tak zvedia, celá zem, že má Izrael Boha.

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.

⁴⁷A zvie i celé toto shromaždenie, že nie mečom ani kopijou zachraňuje Hospodin, pretože boj je Hospodinov, a vydá vás do našej ruky.

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.`

⁴⁸A stalo sa, keď potom povstal Filištín, išiel a blížil sa proti Dávidovi, poponáhľal sa Dávid a bežal smerom proti vojsku nepriateľa, oproti Filištínovi.

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,

⁴⁹A v tom siahol Dávid svojou rukou do kapsy a vyňal ztade kameň a hodiac ho prakom uderil Filištína do čela tak, že kameň zaviazol do jeho čela, a padol na svoju tvár na zem.

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.

⁵⁰A tak premohol Dávid Filištína prakom a kameňom a uderiac Filištína zabil ho, keď aj nemal Dávid v ruke meča.

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,

⁵¹A Dávid pobehol a postavil sa k Filištínovi, vzal jeho meč, vytiahol ho z jeho pošvy a zabil ho a odťal ním jeho hlavu. A keď videli Filištíni, že zomrel ich najsilnejší, utekali.

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.

⁵²A mužovia Izraelovi a Júdovi povstali, kričali a honili Filištínov až potiaľ, kde prijdeš do doliny, až ku bránam Ekróna. A tak padali ranení z Filištínov po ceste Šáraim a tak až po Gát a až po Ekrón.

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,

⁵³Keď sa potom navrátili synovia Izraelovi od prenasledovania Filištínov, ktorých tuho stíhali, zrabovali ich tábor.

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

⁵⁴A Dávid vzal hlavu Filištínovu a doniesol ju do Jeruzalema a jeho zbraň složil vo svojom stáne.

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

⁵⁵A keď videl Saul Dávida, keď išiel von proti Filištínovi, povedal Abnerovi, veliteľovi vojska: Čí je ten mládenec, Abner? A Abner odpovedal: Ako že žije tvoja duša, kráľu, neviem.

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.`

⁵⁶A kráľ povedal: Spýtaj sa ty, čí je to šuhaj.

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

⁵⁷Keď sa potom navracoval Dávid od zabitia Filištína, pojal ho Abner a doviedol ho pred Saula. A hlavu Filištínovu držal vo svojej ruke.

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;

⁵⁸A Saul mu povedal: Čí si ty syn, mládenče? A Dávid odpovedal: Syn tvojho služobníka Izaiho Betlehemského.

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