Oule waye wa li omaludimbo ahamano noule weke. 5 Komutwe waye kwa li embale loshikushu, nokwa djala oshikutu shoipwakotolwa yoshivela, oudjuu woshikutu shoshivela wa li eekilograma omilongo nhano na heyali doshikushu. 6 Komaulu aye okwa djala oshikelelifovela shitwima nopokati komapepe eonga loshikushu. 7 Oshihengo sheonga laye sha li shi fike pongala yomushi, noudjuu wefo leonga laye wa li u fike peekilograma heyali doshikushu, nomuhumbati woshikelelifo shaye e mu pitila komesho. 8 Ndele ye okwa ehena ko ndee ta ingida ta ti kOvaisraeli ava va tanda ombinga ndee te va lombwele: “Omolwashike mwe uya mu tande ombinga? Ame ndishi Omufilisti, nye ovapiya vaSaul? Hoololeni omulumenhu umwe ne uye kwaame. 9 Ye ngeenge ta dulu okulwa naame nokudipaa nge, fye ohatu ka ninga ovapika veni. Ndelenee ame ngeenge handi mu taataa noku mu dipaa, nye mu nokuninga ovapika vetu noku tu longela. 10 Omufilisti ta ti vali: Onena eli nda sheka omatanga Ovaisraeli. Pei nge omulumenhu umwe ndi shiive okulwa naye.” 11 Saul nOvaisraeli aveshe eshi va uda eendjovo odo dOmufilisti, ova haluka ndele va tila unene. 12 Ndelenee David okwa li omona wOmuefrat womuBetlehem shomuJuda, edina laye Isai. Ye okwa li e na ovana ovamati vahetatu, ndele pefimbo laSaul omulumenhu ou okwa li a kulupa, omido daye da li dihapu. 13 Ndelenee ovana ovamati ovakulunhu vatatu vaIsai va ya naSaul molwoodi. Nomadina ovana ovo ovakulunhu vatatu va ya molwoodi, a li: Eliab, oshiveli, nondenge yaye Abinadab, naau e mu shikula Samma. 14 David okwa li onghelo. Ndele venya ovamwaina ovakulunhu vatatu va shikula Saul. 15 Ndelenee pomafimbo amwe David a dja puSaul nokwa ya kuBetlehem koufita weedi daxe.
16 Ndelenee Omufilisti okwa ehena po omafiku omilongo nhee, ongula nonguloshi ndee ta kala ofika. 17 Opo nee Isai a lombwela omona waye David: “Kufa eekilograma omulongo doilya ya fengwa nomingome edi omulongo ndele di twala diva kovamwaxo konhanda. 18 Ndelenee omingome edi omulongo domashini di twaalela omukulunhu weyovi, ndele u nokupula nhumbi ovamwaxo ve li, ndele pewa oshidimbulukifo kuvo u shi ete. 19 Ndele Saul naavenya novalumenhu aveshe Ovaisraeli va lwifa Ovafilisti mefilu laEla.” 20 Ndele ongula inene David okwa pyakuduka: Okwa yandja eedi komufita, a kufa omutengi ndee ta i ngaashi Isai e mu lombwela. Ndele ye eshi a fika konhanda yomatemba, ovakwaita va tanda ombinga ndele va mbuyaana. 21 Ovaisraeli ngaashi yo Ovafilisti va taalelafana va tanda ombinga. 22 Opo nee David a yandja omutengi waye komunangeli womatemba nokwa tondokela nokweendelela konhele yolwoodi. Ye eshi e uya ko, a pula ovamwaxe nhumbi ve li. 23 Ndele fimbo ta popi navo, Omufilisti wokuGat, edina laye Goliat, ou a deuka mokulwa, okwa dja mongudu yOvafilisti, ndee ta popi eendjovo tuu dinya, ndele David e di uda. 24 Ndelenee ovalumenhu aveshe Ovaisraeli eshi va mona omulumenhu ou, ove mu ya onhapo shaashi vo va tila unene. 25 Novalumenhu Ovaisraeli tava ti: “Omu wete omulumenhu ou ta di oko? Ye te uya okusheka Israel. Nohamba tai ka yandja komulumenhu ou te mu dipaa oupuna muhapu. Ndele tai mu pe omona wayo okakadona a ninge omwalikadi waye, ndele te mu mangulula mo mokuyandja efendelo.”
26 Opo nee David a pula ovalumenhu ava va kala ofika puye ndee ta ti: “Omulumenhu ou ta dipaa Omufilisti ou, ndee ta kombo po ohoni muIsrael, ota ka pewa shike? Osheshi Omufilisti ou ina pita etanda, omushike ngeno, eshi ta sheke omatanga ovakwaita vaKalunga omunamwenyo?” 27 Novakwaita tave mu lombwele ngaashi venya: Osho omulumenhu ou te mu dipaa, ta ka ningilwa. 28 Omukulu waye Eliab, eshi e mu uda ta popi novalumenhu, Eliab okwa handukila David ndee ta ti: “Omolwashike we uya oku: Nolyelye wa fiila okaufita keedi mombuwa? Oupwidi woye nowii womutima woye ondi u shii, shaashi we uya okutala olwoodi.” 29 Ndee David ta ti: “Ame onda ninga shike?

Ye okwe mu ifana.
32 Ndele David okwa lombwela Saul, ndee ta ti: Ovalumenhu vaha shushume molwawinya. Omupiya woye ta ka ya okulwifa Omufilisti winya. 33 Ndelenee Saul okwa nyamukula David: “Ito dulu okuya kOmufilisti ou noku mu lwifa, osheshi ove omunyasha, ndelenee winya omukwaita okudja kounyasha waye.”
34 Opo nee David ta ti kuSaul: “Omupiya woye okwa li koufita weedi daxe, ndele onghoshi ile emwangha eshi le uya ndee tali kwata mo odi ndee tali i nayo, 35 ame nde i shikula ndele handi i denge poshi ndele handi i nakula mokanya kalo. Ndele lo eshi la nhukila nge, ame nde li kwata keendjedi dalo nde li denga poshi ndele nde li dipaa. 36 Omupiya woye a dipaa onghoshi nemwangha, nOmufilisti ou ina pita etanda ta ka ningwa naanaa ngaashi imwe yomwaadinya, shaashi ye a sheka omatanga ovakwaita vaKalunga. 37 David ta ti vali: Omwene ou a xupifa nge meenyala donghoshi nomeenyala demwangha, Ye ota ka xupifa nge yo meke lOmufilisti ou.” Opo nee Saul ta ti kuDavid: “Inda, Omwene na kale naave!” 38 Ndele Saul okwa dika David oshikutu shaye shoita nokwa tula komutwe waye embale loshikushu, noshikutu shoshikushu okwe mu dika. 39 Ndele David okwa djala eongamukonda laye kombada yoikutu yaye, ndele a hetekela okweenda, osheshi ine shi hetekela nande shito, David ta ti kuSaul: “Ame itandi dulu okweenda nayo, osheshi inandi shi hetekela nande shito.” Ndele David okwe i lidula. 40 Opo nee ye okwa kwata oshiumbifo shaye meke laye nokwe likongela mokamulonga oumanya vatano va lalakana nokwe va xwekela mo mokakutu kaye e ka kwete mokakutu koshiumbifo. Ndele oshiumbifo shaye osha li meke laye, ye ta ehene popepi nOmufilisti.
41 NOmufilisti yo okwa ehena popepi naDavid, omuhumbati woshikelelifo shaye e mu pitila komesho. 42 Omufilisti eshi a tala ko nokwa mona David, ye okwe mu dina, shaashi ye okwa li omunyasha muwa nolupe liwa. 43 NOmufilisti ta pula David: “Aame ombwa hamba, ove eshi to uya kwaame noshiti?” NOmufilisti okwa tuka David nokwaana koikalunga yaye. 44 Omufilisti okwa lombwela vali David ndele ta ti: “Ila oku kwaame, opo ndi yandje ombelela yoye keedila dokeulu nokoinamwenyo yomomufitu.” 45 Ndelenee David ta ti kOmufilisti: “Ove to uya kwaame u neongamukonda neonga nomukonda, ndelenee ame handi uya kwoove medina lOmwene womatanga ovakwaita, Kalunga komatanga Ovaisraeli, ou we mu sheka. 46 Onena eli Omwene te ku yandje meke lange, opo ndi ku dipae ndele ndi kufe po omutwe woye ndele ndi shiive okuyandja oimhu yovakwaita Ovafilisti keedila dokeulu nokoifitukuti yokombada yedu, opo edu alishe li shiive nokutya, Israel e naKalunga. 47 Opo nee ongudu ei inene tai ka shiiva nokutya, Omwene ita xupifa neongamukonda neonga. Osheshi olwoodi olOmwene, ndele Ye ote ke mu yandja momake etu.” 48 Omufilisti eshi e lilongekida nokwa ehena popepi naDavid, David okwa tondokela diva konhele yolwoodi okushakeneka Omufilisti. 49 Ndele David okwa tula mo eke laye mokakutu nokwa kufa mo okamanya, nokwa kupula nokwa yasha Omufilisti mombaba yoshipala, okamanya ka ya mo mombaba yoshipala, ndele ye okwa wila poshi noshipala sha twa medu. 50 Osho ngaha hano David okwa finda Omufilisti noshiumbifo nokamanya. Ndele okwa dipaa Omufilisti noshiumbifo nokamanya, Ndele okwa dipaa Omufilisti nande meke laDavid kamwa li nande eongamukonda. 51 Opo nee David a tondoka unene nokwa kala ofika pOmufilisti nokwa kufa eongamukonda laye, e li pweya mo moshilaleko nokwe mu dipaa, ndele okwa teta ko nalo omutwe waye. Ovafilisti eshi va mona nokutya, omuladi wavo a fya, ova ya onhapo. 52 Opo nee ovalumenhu Ovaisraeli nOvajuda va fikama tava kaluka ndele va shikula Ovafilisti fiyo okoshivelo shaGat nofiyo okoivelo yaEkron, Ovafilisti ova dipawa va nangala mondjila okudja kuSaaraim fiyo okuGat naEkron. 53 Opo nee ovana vaIsrael va aluka ko kokutaataa Ovafilisti ndele va tikisha onhanda yavo. 54 Ndele David okwa kufa omutwe wOmufilisti nokwe u twala kuJerusalem, ndelenee oiti yaye e i tula metwali laye. 55 Saul eshi a mona David ta i a ka shakeneke Omufilisti ta ti kuAbner, ondjai: “Abner omulumenhu winya omunyasha, oye omona walyelye?” Ndele Abner ta nyamukula: “Oshili, ngaashi ove tatekulu ohamba u nomwenyo, ame nghi shi shii!” 56 Ndele ohamba tai ti: “Pula hano omunyasha ou, ye omona walyelye?” 57 Ndele David eshi a ehena po, ye eshi a dipaa Omufilisti, Abner okwe mu kufa ndee te mu twala koshipala shaSaul, fimbo ye e nomutwe wOmufilisti meke laye. 58 Ndele Saul te mu pula: “Omunyasha oove omona walyelye?” Ndele David ta ti: “Omona womupiya woye Isai, Omubetlehem.”
1 Now 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 Ephes-dammim. 2 And 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. 3 And 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.
4 ¶ And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And 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. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. 7 And 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. 8 And 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. 9 If 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. 10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. 11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 ¶ Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. 13 And 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. 14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul. 15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem. 16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 17 And 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 to thy brethren; 18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. 19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 ¶ And 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. 21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. 22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren. 23 And 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 . 24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. 25 And 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. 26 And 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? 27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 ¶ And 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. 29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 ¶ And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 ¶ And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And 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. 34 And 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: 35 And 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. 36 Thy 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. 37 David 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.
38 ¶ And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, 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 And 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. 41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And 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. 45 Then 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. 46 This 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 carcases 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. 47 And 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 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And 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. 50 So 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. 51 Therefore 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. 52 And 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. 53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 ¶ And 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. 56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is . 57 And 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. 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
