17 Bena Filishitiya+ bakonkenye nzhita* yabo pamo ne kuya na kulwa nkondo. Bakonkene pamo ku Soko+ wa mu Yuda, kabiji batebelejile pakachi ka Soko ne Azeka+ mu Efesa-daimu.+ 2 Saulo ne banabalume bena Isalela bakonkene pamo ne kutebelela mu Kimpachiko* kya Ela,+ kabiji betanchikile kuya na kulwa na bena Filishitiya. 3 Bena Filishitiya bajinga ku bushiya bumo bwa mutumba, ne bena Isalela nabo bajinga ku bushiya bukwabo bwa mutumba, pakachi pajinga kimpachiko.

4 Kabiji mu kampu wa bena Filishitiya mwafumine kitonzhi umo; wa ku Gata,+ jizhina janji wajinga Goliata.+ Kabiji walepele makyubichi atanu na umo ne kichika.* 5 Wavwajile kampompo ka mukuba, kabiji wavwajile ne kivwalo kyajinga na byela byatentakana nobe mabamba. Kino kivwalo kya byela bya mukuba kyanemene mashekele 5,000.*+ 6 Ku mikupa yanji wavwajileko byela bya mukuba, kabiji wasendele ne mpula+ ya mukuba munyuma. 7 Musako wa jifumo janji wajinga nobe kakonkolo ko bapikwilapo bisapi,+ ne kyela kya jifumo jine kyanemene mashekele 600;* ne wamusendejilenga jikebo janji watangijileko kulutwe. 8 Kepo aimene ne kubijika ku nzhita ya bena Isalela+ amba: “Mambo ka o mwaishila ne kwitanchika? Nanchi amiwa kechi nemwina Filishitiya, kabiji anweba kechi mwi bakalume ba kwa Saulo nenyi? Pano salai mwanamulume wa kwimulwilako, kabiji mumuleke eye kwi amiwa. 9 Inge alwe ne amiwa ne kungipaya, tusakwikala bakalume benu. Pano inge namushinde ne kumwipaya, musakwikala bakalume betu kabiji muketwingijilanga.” 10 Kabiji uno mwina Filishitiya waambile’mba: “Lelo mbena kukosamika* nzhita ya bena Isalela.+ Mpai mwanamulume wa kulwa nanji!”

11 Saulo ne bena Isalela bonse byo baumvwine byambo bya uno mwina Filishitiya, baakaminwe bingi ne kuba moyo mukatampe.

12 Davida wajinga mwana wa mwina Efulata+ wa ku Betelema+ wa mu Yuda wa jizhina ja Yese,+ yenka wajinga na baana ba balume batanu na basatu,+ kabiji mu moba a kwa Saulo aye saka akota kala. 13 Baana ba kwa Yese basatu bakulumpe bayile ne Saulo ku nkondo.+ Mazhina a bano baana basatu bayile ku nkondo bajinga Eliaba+ mubeji, Abinadaba+ ndondela mubeji ne Shama+ wa busatu. 14 Davida ye wajinga mwanyike pa bonse,+ kabiji bano bakolojanji basatu bo balondejile Saulo.

15 Davida wayanga kwi Saulo ne kubwela na kufunga mikooko+ ya bashanji ku Betelema. 16 Uno mwina Filishitiya waiyanga lukelo ne mabanga na kwimana pa mpunzha pantutu pamo pa moba 40.

17 Yese waambijile mwananji aye Davida amba: “Senda uno efa* wa kajo kakukanga ne bano bashinkwa jikumi utwajile bukiji bakolojobe ku kampu. 18 Usende ne bino bibese jikumi bya mukaka wachimba utwajile mukulumpe wa kiumbi; kabiji ukamone bakolojobe inge bajitu bulongo, bino wiye witubuule.” 19 Abo bajinga ne Saulo ne banabalume bonse bena Isalela mu Kimpachiko* kya Ela,+ kuba’mba balwe na bena Filishitiya.+

20 Byonkabyo, Davida wabuukile lukelokelo ne kushila muntu umo mikooko; kepo alongele bipe ne kuya byonkatu Yese byo amukambizhe. Byo afikile ku kampu, bashilikale balupukilenga kuya ku nkondo saka boba kiwowo kya nkondo. 21 Bena Isalela ne bena Filishitiya betanchikile, kabiji ano mazhita onse atalañene. 22 Ponkapo Davida washile bipe byanji ku muntu ulama bipe ne kunyemena kwajinga nzhita. Byo afikile, waimwine bakolojanji.+

23 Byo akisambilenga nabo, kwaishile kitonzhi wa jizhina ja Goliata,+ mwina Filishitiya wa ku Gata. Wafumine kwajinga nzhita ya bena Filishitiya ne kutendeka kunenañana byonka byo akelwanga kuba,+ kabiji Davida wamumvwine. 24 Banabalume bonse bena Isalela byo bamumwene, bamunyemene saka baakamwa.+ 25 Banabalume bena Isalela baambilenga’mba: “Mwamumona awa muntu ubena kwiya? Wiya na kukosamika* bena Isalela.+ Mfumu ukapana bya bunonshi ku muntu ukepaya yewa muntu, ukamupa mwananji wa mukazhi+ kabiji ba mu nzubo ya bashanji bakekala baana ba bene mu Isalela.”

26 Davida watendekele kushikisha bantu baimene kwipi ne aye amba: “Ñanyi kintu kyo bakamubila muntu ukepaya yewa mwina Filishitiya waimana popa ne kufumya bumvu pa bena Isalela? Nanchi uno mwina Filishitiya wabula kuya ku mukanda ye ñanyi kya kuba’mba akosamikenga* nzhita ya Lesa mumi?”+ 27 Kepo bantu bamubuujile byonkatu byo bamubuujile patanshi amba: “Abino byo byo bakamubila muntu ukamwipaya.” 28 Eliaba+ kolojanji mubeji byo aumvwine saka esamba na bantu, wamuzhingijile Davida ne kumushikisha’mba: “Mambo ka o waishila kuno? Kabiji ñanyi ye washila yoya mikooko ichechetu mungye?+ Nayukishatu bulongo kwitota kobe ne bintu byatama biji mu muchima wobe; waiyatu na kutamba nkondo.” 29 Ponkapo Davida wakumbwile’mba: “Nanchi nauba ka? Naji kushikishangatu!” 30 Onkao mambo, waalukijile ku mukwabo ne kumwipuzha bwipuzho buntutu bumo,+ ne bantu bamukumbwile byonkatu byo bamukumbwile patanshi.+

31 Byambo byaambile Davida byaumvwanyikile kabiji bamubuujile ne Saulo. Ne aye watumine bakumwita. 32 Davida wabuujile Saulo amba: “Muntu nangwa umo kange akamwe na mambo a uno muntu ne. Amiwa kalume wenu nsakuya na kulwa na uno mwina Filishitiya.”+ 33 Bino Saulo waambijile Davida amba: “Kechi wakonsha kulwa na uno mwina Filishitiya ne, mambo wimwanyike,+ kabiji aye watendekele bushilikale* kufumatu ku bwanyike bwanji.” 34 Kepo Davida abuujile Saulo amba: “Amiwa kalume wenu nafungilenga jitanga ja batata, kabiji kwaishile bokwe,+ ne mbeyala, kabiji byonse bino byakwachilepo mukooko pa jitanga. 35 Namulondejile ne kumukozha ne kupokolola mukooko ku kanwa kanji. Byo ambuukijile bukaji, namukwachile ku mubanga kabiji namwimbile ne kumwipaya. 36 Amiwa kalume wenu naipayile bokwe ne mbeyala, ne uno mwina Filishitiya wabula kuya ku mukanda usakwikala nobe bano banyama, mambo wakosamika* nzhita ya Lesa mumi.”+ 37 Kabiji Davida wanungilepo’mba: “Yehoba yenka wampokolwele ku ngala ya bokwe ne ya mbeyala, ye usakumpokolola ku maboko a uno mwina Filishitiya.”+ Ponkapo Saulo waambijile Davida amba: “Yanga, kabiji Yehoba ekale ne obewa.”

38 Saulo wavwikile Davida bivwalo byanji. Wamuvwikile kampompo ka mukuba, kabiji wamuvwikile ne kivwalo kya byela. 39 Kabiji Davida wakashijile mpoko ku kivwalo kyanji ne kweseka kwenda, bino wakankelwe, mambo kechi wapijilwe ne. Davida waambijile Saulo amba: “Nakankalwa kwenda na bino bintu, mambo kechi nebipijilwa ne.” Ponkapo Davida wibivuujile. 40 Kepo Davida asendele kamama kajinga mu kuboko kwanji ne kusala mabwe anguzha alezhima a mu mukola ne kwiabika mu fukuta wanji wa bukafunga, kabiji wajinga na kinzhipunzhipu+ mu kuboko kwanji. Kabiji watendekele kuya kwajinga uno mwina Filishitiya.

41 Mwina Filishitiya waishilengatu ku bwipi ne Davida, awa wamusendejile jikebo janji wajinga kulutwe yanji. 42 Mwina Filishitiya byo amumwene Davida, wamulengulwile mambo wajingatu mwanyike wachila bulongo ne kulamba.+ 43 Kabiji mwina Filishitiya waambijile Davida amba: “Nanchi amiwa nji nobe kabwa+ pa kuba’mba wiyenga kwi amiwa na bichi nyi?” Ponkapo mwina Filishitiya wafingile Davida mu jizhina ja balesa banji. 44 Mwina Filishitiya waambijile Davida amba: “Iya kuno, kabiji nsakupana mubiji wobe ku bañonyi ba mwiulu ne ku banyama ba mungye.”

45 Davida wakumbwile mwina Filishitiya amba: “Obewa waiya kwi amiwa na mpoko ne jifumo ne mpula,+ bino amiwa naiya kwi obewa mu jizhina ja Yehoba wa mabumba,+ Lesa wa nzhita ya bena Isalela, yenka ye wakosamika.*+ 46 Lelo jonka Yehoba usakukupana mu maboko ami,+ kabiji nsakukwipaya ne kukuchiba mutwe; kabiji lelo nsakupana mibiji ya bena Filishitiya ku bañonyi ba mwiulu ne ku banyama ba mungye; ne bantu bonse ba pano pa ntanda bakayuka’mba mu bena Isalela muji Lesa.+ 47 Bonse bakonkana kuno* basakuyuka’mba Yehoba kechi upokolola na mpoko nangwa na jifumo ne,+ mambo nkondo yo ya kwa Yehoba,+ kabiji anweba bonse usakwimupana mu maboko etu.”+

48 Ponkapo mwina Filishitiya waimene kaiye ne kwiya kwipi ne Davida, bino Davida wayile lubilo kwajinga nzhita na kusambakana mwina Filishitiya. 49 Davida wakujile kuboko mu fukuta wanji ne kutolamo jibwe ne kwijasa na kinzhipunzhipu. Waashile mwina Filishitiya pa kilungi, kabiji jibwe jatwelele pa kilungi, ne aye waponejile panshi kinkuvumene.+ 50 Byonkabyo Davida washinjile mwina Filishitiya na kinzhipunzhipu ne na jibwe; waashile mwina Filishitiya ne kumwipaya, nangwa kya kuba Davida kechi wajinga na mpoko mu kuboko kwanji ne.+ 51 Kepo Davida atwajijile kunyema ne kukemana pajinga mwina Filishitiya. Wakwachile mpoko ya mwina Filishitiya+ ne kwiisomona mu kikwa, kabiji washiinwe kuba’mba wafwa byo amuchibileko mutwe na mpoko yanji. Bena Filishitiya byo bamwene’mba kitonzhi wabo wafwa, banyemene.+

52 Ponkapo banabalume ba bena Isalela ne bena Yuda baimene ne kubijika kabiji bapupijile bena Filishitiya kufuma ku kimpachiko+ kukafika ne ku bibelo bya ku Ekelona,+ ne bena Filishitiya bo baipayile balalazhaminetu mu jishinda kufuma ku Shalaimu+ kufika ku Gata ne ku Ekelona. 53 Bena Isalela byo babwelele kufuma ko bapupijilenga bena Filishitiya, bapukwile makampu abo.

54 Kabiji Davida wasendele mutwe wa mwina Filishitiya ne kumutwala ku Yelusalema, pakuba bilwilo bya mwina Filishitiya wibibikile mu tente wanji.+

55 Kimye Saulo kyo amwene Davida saka aya na kusambakana mwina Filishitiya, washikishe Abina mukulumpe wa nzhita amba: “Abina,+ awe mwanyike+ mwana bañanyi?” Abina wakumbwile’mba: “Byonkatu byo muji na bumi,* anweba mfumu, amiwa kechi nayuka ne!” 56 Mfumu waambile’mba: “Kashikishe uyuke bashanji uno mwanyike.” 57 Davida byo abweleletu kufuma ko aipayijile mwina Filishitiya, Abina wamusendele ne kumutwala kwi Saulo saka asenda ne mutwe wa mwina Filishitiya+ mu kuboko kwanji. 58 Kepo Saulo amwipwizhe’mba: “Wi mwana wa bañanyi obewa mwanyike?” aye Davida wakumbwile’mba: “Nemwana ba Yese+ bakalume benu bena Betelema.”+
