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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

⁴There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

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

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.

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

⁶He had brass shin armor on his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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.

¹⁸and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.”

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.

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?”

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?

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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,

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,

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.

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.

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.”

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

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.”

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:

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.”

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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