Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
1Mwet Philistia elos solani un mwet mweun lalos nu Socoh, sie siti srisrik in acn Judah, ac akola nu ke mweun. Elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos in acn se pangpang Ephes Dammim, su oan inmasrlon Socoh ac Azekah.
2Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
2Saul ac mwet Israel elos toeni ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos Infahlfal Elah, na elos akoo pac in mweun lain mwet Philistia.
3The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
3Mwet Philistia elos takla tu ke soko eol uh, ac mwet Israel ke soko pac eol, ac infahlfal se oan inmasrlolos.
4Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
4Oasr sie mwet pangpang Goliath, el mwet in siti Gath. El illa liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia ac solsol anwuk nu sin mwet Israel. Lusal alukela fit eu,
5and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
5ac el nukum nuknuk orek ke osra bronze, toasriya akuran sun paun siofok longoul limekosr, ac mwe susu lal orek pac ke osra bronze.
6and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
6Nial nukla pac ke osra bronze, ac el us osra in fakfuk soko finpisal.
7The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
7Fungin osra soko natul yohk oana sak ke mwe otwot nuknuk, ac mutun osra soko ah orek ke osra iron su toasriya akuran paun singoul limekosr. Sie mwet mweun el fahsr meet lukel ac us mwe loang lal uh.
8And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
8Goliath el tu ac wowo nu sin mwet Israel ac fahk, “Mea kowos oru ingan? Ya kowos takla akola in mweun? Nga sie mwet Philistia, ac kowos mwet kohs lal Saul! Sulela sie mwet lowos an in tuku lainyu.
9If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
9El fin kutangla ac uniyuwi, na kut ac fah mwet kohs lowos. A nga fin kutangla ac unilya, na kowos ac fah mwet kohs lasr.
10Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
10Inge misenge nga tuyak ac akola in lain un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel. Nga tia sensen in fahkot: sulela sie mwet an nga el in anwuk!”
11On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
11Ke Saul ac mwet lal elos lohng kas inge, elos arulana sangeng.
12Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
12David el wen natul Jesse, sie mwet Ephrathah su muta Bethlehem in acn Judah. Oasr wen oalkosr natul Jesse, ac in pacl se Saul el tokosra, Jesse el arulana matuoh.
13The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
13Wen tolu natul Jesse ma matu eltal welul Saul oasr ke nien mweun uh. Ma se ma matu uh pa Eliab, ma se akluo uh pa Abinadab, ac aktolu pa Shammah.
14And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
14David pa fusr emeet, ac ke pacl tamulel tolu ma matu uh welul Saul,
15but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
15na David el ac folok nu Bethlehem kais kutu pacl in karingin sheep nutin papa tumal.
16For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
16Goliath el kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel lotutang ac eku nukewa ke lusen len angngaul.
17One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
17Sie len ah Jesse el fahk nu sel David, “Us tafun bushel in fiten wheat manman inge ac lof singoul inge, ac sulaklak nu yurin tamulel wiom in nien aktuktuk uh.
18Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
18Ac us ipin cheese singoul inge nu sin captain lun un mwet mweun an. Srike liye lah tamulel lom ah fuka, na kom fah foloko ac use sie ma in akpwayeye lah kom sonoltal ac lah eltal ku na.
19They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
19Tokosra Saul, ac tamulel lom, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos muta Infahlfal Elah ac mweuni mwet Philistia.”
20So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
20Len tok ah David el toangna tukakek ac el sap sie pac mwet in muta karingin sheep uh. Na el eis mwe mongo ma akoeyuk, ac som oana Jesse el tuh fahk nu sel. Ke el sun nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Israel, falyang na nu ke pacl se elos sasa, illa ac takla in mweun.
21And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
21Un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel elos tuyak ac ngetani nu sie akola nu ke mweun.
22Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
22David el filiya mwe mongo el us yurin mwet se ma liyaung kufwen mwe mweun, na el kasrusr nu ke acn se mwet mweun takla we ah, ac suk mwet wial ah. Na el siyuk seltal lah eltal fuka.
23And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
23Ke el srakna sramsram nu seltal, Goliath el fahsryak nu meet, ac el sifilpa kusen mukul nu sin mwet Israel oana ke el oru meet ah. Ac David el lohng ma Goliath el fahk inge.
24When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
24Ke mwet Israel elos liyal Goliath elos sangeng ac kaing.
25Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
25Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Liyalwin! Lohng kusen mukul lal ingan! Tokosra Saul el wulela mu el ac sang moul na yohk nu sin mwet se su ac uniya mwet Philistia sacn. El ac sang acn natul in payukyak sin mukul sac, ac sou lun papa tumun mukul sac ac tia enenu in moli mwe takma lalos.”
26David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
26David el siyuk sin mwet ma tu siskal ah, “Mea ac orek nu sin mwet se su uniya mwet Philistia se ingo, ac tulala mwet Israel liki mwe mwekin se inge? Ac su win mwet Philistia pegan se ingan, ku elan orek tungak nu sin mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD moul?”
27The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
27Na elos fahk nu sel David ma ac tufah orek nu sin mwet se ac unilya Goliath.
28Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
28Eliab, tamulel matu se wial David, el lohng sramsram lal David nu sin mwet inge, na el kasrkusrak sel ac fahk, “Mea kom tuku oru uh? Ac su muta liyaung sheep ekasr nutum oe yen mwesis ah? Kom ekak! Kom akna kom in intoein mweun uh, pa sis kom tuku an!”
29“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
29Na David el fahk, “Ku mea nga oru? Ya nga kofla in kusen siyuk?”
30Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
30David el forla nu sin sie pac mwet ac siyuk kusen siyuk sac pacna, ac pacl nukewa el ac siyuk ma sac, na top sefanna mwet uh ac topkol kac.
31Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
31Kutu mwet inge lohng ma David el tuh fahk, na elos som fahk nu sel Saul, ac Saul el sapla solal.
32And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
32Na David el fahk nu sel Saul, “O Tokosra, wangin sripa mwet uh in sangeng sin mwet Philistia se inge! Nga fah som anwuk nu sel.”
33But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
33Ac Saul el fahk, “Ku kom ac lainul fuka? Kom srakna tulik, a funu el, el nuna mwet mweun se in moul lal nufon!”
34David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
34Ac David el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga pa liyaung sheep nutin papa tumuk. Pacl nukewa lion soko ku bear soko fin tuku sruokya sheep fusr soko ac usla liki un sheep uh,
35I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
35nga ac ukwal ac onel, ac molela sheep uh liki inwalul. Na lion soko ku bear soko fin forma nu sik, nga sruokya inkwawal ac puokol nwe ke el misa.
36Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
36Nga uniya lion ac bear tari, ac nga ac oru oapana nu sin mwet Philistia pegan se inge, su tuku funmwet nu sin mwet mweun lun God moul.
37David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
37LEUM GOD El moliyula liki lion ac bear, ac El ac fah moliyula liki mwet Philistia se pac inge. Na Saul el fahk, “Wona. Fahsrot, ac LEUM GOD Elan wi kom.”
38Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
38Saul el sang mwe loeyuk lal sifacna nu sel David elan nokomang: mwe susu osra se el sang nu fin sifal David, oayapa nuknuk osra se.
39David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
39David el kapriya cutlass natul Saul nu ke nuknuk osra sac, ac el srike in fahsr tuh el tia ku, mweyen el supah kac. Na el fahk nu sel Saul, “Nga tia ku in mweun ke ma inge oan keik uh. Nga supah kac.” Na el sarukla nufon.
40And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
40El srukak sikal soko natul, ac el sulela eot fwel limekosr infacl ah, ac isongya nu in pak lal ah. El akola fuht natul ah inpaol, na el som in sonol Goliath.
41Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
41Mwet Philistia sac mutawauk in fahsr nu yorol David, ac mwet us mwe loang natul ah fahsr meet lukel. Ke fototoeni inmasrloltal
42When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
42Goliath el ngetla liyal David, ac el israsrinkusrael mweyen David el tulik na kulang ac kato se.
43“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
43Ac Goliath el fahk nu sel David, “Mwe mea sak soko an? Kom nunku mu kosro ngalngul soko pa nga?” Na el pang nu sin god lal tuh elan selngawel David.
44“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
44Goliath el kusen mukul nu sel David ac fahk, “Fahsru na, ac nga fah sang monum tuh won yen engyeng uh ac kosro lemnak in kang.”
45But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
45Ac David el fahk, “Kom tuku lainyu ke cutlass ac osra ac mwe fakfuk, a nga tuku lain kom ke Inen LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, su kom orek funmwet nu se.
46This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
46Misenge LEUM GOD El ac fah eiskomme nu inpouk, ac nga fah unikomi ac pakela sifom. Nga fah sang monin mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh won yen engyengu ac kosro lemnak in kang. Na faclu nufon fah etu tuh oasr sie God in Israel.
47And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
47Ac mwet nukewa inge fah liye lah LEUM GOD El tia enenu cutlass ku osra in molela mwet lal. Kutangla se inge ma na lal, ac El ac fah filikowosme nu inpaosr.”
48As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
48Goliath el mutawauk in sifil fahsr nu yorol David, ac David el kasrusr nu ke lain in mweun lun mwet Philistia tuh elan lainul.
49Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
49David el isongya paol nu in pak lal ah, olak sie eot loac ah, furokang nu kacl Goliath. Eot sac sunna motonsrol twe fukulya ahlunsifal Goliath, na el ikori oankiyuki infohk ah.
50Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
50Ouinge wangin cutlass inpaol David a el kutangulla Goliath ac unilya ke fuht se ac eot srisrik se!
51David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
51David el yuyang nu yorol Goliath ac fanyak tu facl. El eisla cutlass natul Goliath liki mwe neinyuk la ah, ac sang pakela sifal ac unilya. Ke mwet Philistia elos liye lah mwet se elos finsrak kac el misa, elos kaing.
52Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
52Mwet Israel ac Judah elos sasa ac ukwe mwet Philistia nwe ke elos sun acn Gath ac mutunpot in Ekron. Mwet Philistia elos ikor ac kinetneta inkanek ma fahla nu Shaaraim, nwe ke sun acn Gath ac Ekron.
53When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
53Ke mwet Israel elos folok ke ukok lalos, elos tui ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, ac eisani ma wap nukewa we.
54David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
54David el usla sifal Goliath nu Jerusalem, a el sruokya mwe mweun natul Goliath in lohm nuknuk sel sifacna.
55As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
55Ke Saul el liyal David ke el fahla in mweunel Goliath, el siyuk sel Abner, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, ac fahk, “Abner, nutin su tulik se ingan?” Abner el fahk, “O Tokosra, nga tiana etu.”
56“Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
56Na Saul el fahk, “Fahla siyuk lah nutin su.”
57So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
57Ke David el folok nu ke nien aktuktuk uh tukun el unilya Goliath, Abner el usalla nu yorol Saul. David el srakna us sifal Goliath.
58“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
58Saul el siyuk sel David, “Mwet fusr, nutin su kom an?” David el topuk, “Nga ma nutin mwet kulansap lom, Jesse, mwet Bethlehem se.”
