1 Samuel 17:1-18:4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) David versus Goliath 17 The Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah and camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim. 2 Saul and the men of Israel gathered and camped in the Valley of Elah; then they lined up in battle formation to face the Philistines. 3 The Philistines were standing on one hill, and the Israelites were standing on another hill with a ravine between them. 4 Then a champion named Goliath, from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was nine feet, nine inches tall 5 and wore a bronze helmet and bronze scale armor that weighed 125 pounds. 6 There was bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze sword was slung between his shoulders. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed 15 pounds. In addition, a shield-bearer was walking in front of him. 8 He stood and shouted to the Israelite battle formations: “Why do you come out to line up in battle formation?” He asked them, “Am I not a Philistine and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me. 9 If he wins in a fight against me and kills me, we will be your servants. But if I win against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel today. Send me a man so we can fight each other!” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words from the Philistine, they lost their courage and were terrified. 12 Now David was the son of the Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah named Jesse. Jesse had eight sons and during Saul’s reign was already an old man. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war, and their names were Eliab, the firstborn, Abinadab, the next, and Shammah, the third, 14 and David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul, 15 but David kept going back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s flock in Bethlehem. 16 Every morning and evening for 40 days the Philistine came forward and took his stand. 17 One day Jesse had told his son David: “Take this half-bushel of roasted grain along with these 10 loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. 18 Also take these 10 portions of cheese to the field commander. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring a confirmation from them. 19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah fighting with the Philistines.” 20 So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with someone to keep it, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He arrived at the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation shouting their battle cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation facing each other. 22 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. 23 While he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistine battle line and shouted his usual words, which David heard. 24 When all the Israelite men saw Goliath, they retreated from him terrified. 25 Previously, an Israelite man had declared: “Do you see this man who keeps coming out? He comes to defy Israel. The king will make the man who kills him very rich and will give him his daughter. The king will also make the household of that man’s father exempt from paying taxes in Israel.” 26 David spoke to the men who were standing with him: “What will be done for the man who kills that Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” 27 The people told him about the offer, concluding, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.” 28 David’s oldest brother Eliab listened as he spoke to the men, and became angry with him. “Why did you come down here?” he asked. “Who did you leave those few sheep with in the wilderness? I know your arrogance and your evil heart—you came down to see the battle!” 29 “What have I done now?” protested David. “It was just a question.” 30 Then he turned from those beside him to others in front of him and asked about the offer. The people gave him the same answer as before. 31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, so he had David brought to him. 32 David said to Saul, “Don’t let anyone be discouraged by him; your servant will go and fight this Philistine!” 33 But Saul replied, “You can’t go fight this Philistine. You’re just a youth, and he’s been a warrior since he was young.” 34 David answered Saul: “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it. 36 Your 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.” 37 Then David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.” 38 Then Saul had his own military clothes put on David. He put a bronze helmet on David’s head and had him put on armor. 39 David strapped his sword on over the military clothes and tried to walk, but he was not used to them. “I can’t walk in these,” David said to Saul, “I’m not used to them.” So David took them off. 40 Instead, he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the wadi and put them in the pouch, in his shepherd’s bag. Then, with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine. 41 The Philistine came closer and closer to David, with the shield-bearer in front of him. 42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a youth, healthy and handsome. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog that you come against me with sticks?” Then he cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” the Philistine called to David, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts!” 45 David said to the Philistine: “You come against me with a dagger, spear, and sword, but I come against you in the name of Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel’s armies—you have defied Him. 46 Today, the Lord will hand you over to me. Today, I’ll strike you down, cut your head off, and give the corpses of the Philistine camp to the birds of the sky and the creatures of the earth. Then all the world will know that Israel has a God, 47 and this whole assembly will know that it is not by sword or by spear that the Lord saves, for the battle is the Lord’s. He will hand you over to us.” 48 When the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 David put his hand in the bag, took out a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. 50 David defeated the Philistine with a sling and a stone. Even though David had no sword, he struck down the Philistine and killed him. 51 David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword, pulled it from its sheath, and used it to kill him. Then he cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they ran. 52 The men of Israel and Judah rallied, shouting their battle cry, and chased the Philistines to the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. Philistine bodies were strewn all along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from the pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps. 54 David took Goliath’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent. 55 When Saul had seen David going out to confront the Philistine, he asked Abner the commander of the army, “Whose son is this youth, Abner?” “My king, as surely as you live, I don’t know,” Abner replied. 56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is!” 57 When David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine’s head still in his hand. 58 Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” “The son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David answered. David’s Success 18 When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan committed himself to David, and loved him as much as he loved himself. 2 Saul kept David with him from that day on and did not let him return to his father’s house. 3 Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as much as himself. 4 Then Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.

1 शमूएल 17Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) गोल्यतको इस्राएली माथि चुनौती 17 पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्ना सैनिकहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति भेला गराए। तिनीहरू यहूदा स्थित सोकोहमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी सोकोह र अजेकाको बीचमा एपेसदम्मीम नाउँका शहरमा थियो। 2 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू पनि एक ठाउँमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी एला बेंसीमा थियो। शाऊलका सैनिकहरूले पंक्ति बाँधे पलिश्तीहरूसित युद्ध गर्न तयार थिए। 3 पलिश्तीहरू एउटा पहाड माथि थिए, र इस्राएलीहरू अर्को पहाड माथि थिए। दुवै पक्षका बीचमा बेंसी थियो। 4 पलिश्तीहरूको गोल्यात नाउँ भएको एउटा वीर योद्धा थियो। गोल्यात गात निवासी थियो। गोल्यात झण्डै नौ फीट अग्लो थियो। गोल्यत पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीबाट बाहिरियो। 5 शिरमा काँसाको टोपी लगाएको थियो। शरीरमा माछाको कत्ला जस्तै कवच कोट लगाएको थियो। त्यो रक्षा कवच काँसाको नै थियो यसको ओजन 5,000 शेकेलको थियो। 6 गोल्यतले खुट्टातिर पनि काँसाकै कवच लगाएको थियो। काँसाकै भाला पिठ्यूँमा बोकेको। 7 भालाको लट्टी जुलाहाको लुगा बुन्ने डण्डा जत्रो थियो। भालाको ओजन 600 शेकेलको थियो। गोल्यतको हात-हतियार बोक्ने तिनको अघि-अघि हिँड्थ्यो। 8 प्रत्येक दिन गोल्यत बाहिर निस्कन्थ्यो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूलाई चुनौती दिन्थ्यो। उसको चुनौति थियो, “किन तिमीहरूले युद्धको निम्ति पंक्ति कसेको? तिमीहरू शाऊलका नोकर हौ म त पलिश्ती हुँ। एउटा मानिस छानेर मेरो विरूद्धमा लडनलाई पठाऊ। 9 यदि त्यस मानिसले मलाई मार्यो भने तब हामी सबै पलिश्तीहरू तिमीहरूका दास बन्नेछौ। तर यदि मैले त्यस मानिसलाई मारे भने मैले जितेको हुनेछ र तिमीहरू हाम्रो दास हुनेछौ। तिमीहरूले हाम्रा सेवा गर्नुपर्छ।” 10 पलिश्तीले यसो पनि भन्यो, “आज म इस्राएली सेनाहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्छु। एउटा मानिस पठाइदेऊ ताकि म त्यससित लड्न सकुँ।” 11 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूले पलिश्तीले भनेको यी सब सुन्थे र साह्रै डराउँथे। दाऊद रणभूमिमा जान्छन् 12 दाऊद यिशैका छोरा थिए। यिशै इफ्रातीका छोरा थिए जो बेतलेहेमको, यहूदाका थिए। यिशैका आठजना छोराहरू थिए। शाऊलका समयमा यिशै बूढा भइसकेका थिए। 13 यिशैका जेठा, माहिला र साहिंला छोराहरू शाऊलसित रणभूमिमा गएका थिए। जेठा छोराको नाउँ एलीआब थियो। माहिला छोराको नाउँ अबीनादाब र साँहिला छोराको नाउँ शम्मा थियो। 14 दाऊद चाहिं कान्छो छोरा थिए। जेठा, माहिला र साँहिला चाहिं शाऊलको सेनामा थिए। 15 कान्छा छोरा दाऊद शाऊलको छाउनी र बेतलेहेममा आफ्ना पिताका भेंडाहरू हेरचाह गर्न आउने जानेगर्थे। 16 त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यत प्रत्येक दिन बिहानै बेलुकी इस्राएलीहरूका छाउनीमा आएर ठट्टा गर्थ्यो। 40 दिनसम्म त्यसले सधैँ त्यस्तै गर्यो। 17 एक दिन यिशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “यस फुर्लुङमा चार पाथी (एक एपा) चिउरा र दशवटा रोटी छन् तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूलाई छाउनीमा लगि देऊ। 18 यो 10 टुक्रा पनीर पनि लिए जाऊ। तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूको 1,000 सेनाको समूहलाई आदेश गर्ने अधिकारीलाई देऊ। दाज्यूहरूले के गर्दै छन् हेर। दाज्यूहरू ठीक-ठाक नै छन् भन्ने प्रमाण पनि लिएर आउनु। 19 तिम्रो दाज्यूहरू र सबै इस्राएली सैनिकहरू शाऊलसित एला बेंसीमा छन्। तिनीहरू त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूसँग लड्दैछन्।” 20 बिहानै दाऊदले अर्को एउटा गोठालोलाई भेंडाहरू जिम्मा लगायो। दाऊदले भोजन लियो र यिशैले भने अनुसार हिंड्यो। दाऊदले गाडा सोझै छाउनीमा लिएर गयो। सैनिकहरू युद्ध पंक्तिमा गएका थिए अनि युद्ध गर्न लागे झैं हल्ला गरिरहेका थिए। 21 इस्राएली र पलिश्ती दुवैतिरका सैनिकहरू युद्ध गर्न तयार रहे। 22 दाऊदले भोजन र सामानहरू भण्डारेको हातमा सुम्पियो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू भए तिर अगाडिको पंक्तिमा दगुर्यो अनि आफ्नो दाजूहरूको विषयमा सोध्यो। 23 जस्तो दाऊदले आफ्ना दाज्यूहरूसँग कुरा गरेको बेला त्यो श्रेष्ठ योद्धा पलिश्ती गोल्यत पलिश्ती सैनिकबाट निस्केर आयो। गोल्यतले सधैँ झैं इस्राएलीलाई गाली दिन थाल्यो। दाऊदले पनि गोल्यातले भनेको कुरा सुन्यो। 24 इस्राएली सैनिकहरू त गोल्यतलाई देखे पछि भाग्न थाले। सबै नै भयभित थिए। 25 एकजना इस्राएलीले भने, “त्यसलाई देख्यौ त्यसले के गरिरहेछ राम्ररी हेर? त्यो गोल्यत घरि-घरि आएर इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी नै गाली गर्छ। जसले यसलाई मार्छ त्यो धेरै धनी हुनेछ। राजा शाऊलले धेरै सम्पत्ति दिनुहुनेछ। शाऊलले उसकी छोरी पनि विवाह गर्न दिनेछन् जसले त्यसलाई मार्न सक्छ। शाऊलले उसको परिवारलाई इस्राएलमा स्वतन्त्र बनाउनेछन्।” 26 दाऊदले छेवैका मानिसलाई सोध्यो, “त्यसले के भन्यो? यदि कसैले यो पलिश्तीलाई मार्छ अनि इस्राएलको इज्जत बचाउँछ भने एउटा विदेशी मात्र त हो, उसले के इनाम पाउनेछ? यो गोल्यत के हो र? गोल्यत एकजना पलिश्ती भन्दा बढी केही होइन। त्यसले यो के सोचिरहेछ? उसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सैनिकहरूलाई धम्काउन सक्छ।” 27 यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले गोल्यतलाई मार्नेको इनामबारे दाऊदलाई बताउँछन्। 28 दाऊदका जेठा दाज्यू एलीआबले दाऊद सैनिकहरूसित बात गर्दै गरेको सुने। एलीआब दाऊदसँग रिसाउँछ। एलीआबले दाऊदलाई भग्ने, “तँ यहाँ किन आइस्? भेंडाहरू मरुभूमिमा कसलाई छोडेर आइस्? तँ यहाँ आउनुको कारण मैले जाने। तँलाई जे गर्न पठाइएको हो त्यो गर्न तँ चाहँदैनस्। तँ यहाँ खालि युद्ध हेर्नलाई मात्र आउन चाहन्थिस्।” 29 दाऊदले भन्यो, “मैले त्यस्तो के गरें र? मैले कुनै नराम्रो काम गरिनँ म खालि कुरा गर्दै थिएँ।” 30 दाऊद चारैतिर दौडिएर अरू सेनाहरूसित त्यही प्रश्नहरू सोध्न थाल्यो। तिनीहरूले पनि दाऊदलाई त्यही पहिले कै जस्तो उत्तर दिए। 31 केही मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई कुरा गर्दै गरेको सुने। तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई शाऊल कहाँ पुर्याएर दाऊदले गरेको कुरा सबैलाई सुनाए। 32 दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “त्यस पलिश्ती गोल्यतको कारण तपाईं हतास नहुनुहोस्। म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ। त्यस पलिश्तीसँग म लड्ने छु।” 33 शाऊलले भने, “तिमी गएर त्यस पलिश्तीसँग लड्न सक्ने छैनौ। तिमी सैनिक पनि त होइनौ। तिमी सानै छौ तर गोल्यत सानै देखि युद्धभूमिमा लड्दै आएको हो।” 34 तर दाऊदले शाऊललाई फेरि भन्यो, “म, तपाईंको सेवक हुँ र मेरो पिताको भेंडा पनि चराउने गर्छु। भेंडाका बथानबाट सिंह र भालू आएर भेंडा लैजान्थे। 35 म त्यस्ता जंगली पशुहरूलाई खेद्दै जान्थे र तिनीहरूका मुखबाट भेंडा खोसेर ल्याउँथे। यदि जंगली जन्तुले मलाई आक्रमण गरे त्यसको मुख मुनिको भुत्ला समात्थें र त्यसलाई हिर्काउथें। 36 मैले सिंह र भालू मारेको छु। म त्यस विदेशी गोल्यतलाई त्यसरी नै मार्नेछु। गोल्यत मर्नु नै पर्छ किनकि त्यसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सेनाहरूको ठट्टा गरेको छ। 37 परमप्रभुले मलाई सिंह र भालूहरूबाट बचाउनु भएको छ। परमप्रभुले यी पलिश्ती गोल्यतबाट पनि बचाउनु हुनेछ।” शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “ठीक छ जाऊ? परमप्रभु तिम्रो साथमा रहुन्।” 38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नै पोशाक पहिराइ दिए। शाऊलले काँसाको टोपी दाऊदको शिरमा अनि आफ्नो हातहतियर शरीरमा लगाइ दिए। 39 दाऊदले तरवार भिरेर यताउता हिँड्ने चेष्टा गर्यो। यसरी शाऊलको पोशाकले दाऊदलाई साह्रै असजिलो बनायो। यस्तो पोशाकको अभ्यास दाऊदलाई थिएन। दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “म यसरी लड्न सक्दिनँ मैले तिनीहरूको प्रयोग गरेको छैन।” यसर्थ दाऊदले सबै फूकाले। 40 दाऊदले हातमा एउटा टेक्ने लौरो लियो र खोलाबाट चिल्लो पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा टिप्यो। गोठालाको झोलाभित्रको थैलीमा उक्त पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा हाल्यो र घुँयेत्रो हातमा बोक्यो। त्यसपछि त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई हाँक दिन बढ्यो। दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्छन् 41 पलिश्ती गोल्यत विस्तारै दाऊदकहाँ आयो। गोल्यतको सहायक अघि-अघि ढाल बोकेर हिंड्दै थियो। 42 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई हेर्यो र हाँस्यो। गोल्यतले सोच्यो यो सैनिक होइन, खालि सुन्दर र रातोवर्णको केटो हो। 43 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यो लौरो केको निम्ति हो? कुकुरलाई जस्तै मलाई खेद्न चाहन्छौ?” अनि गोल्यतले आफ्ना देवताहरूको नाउँ उच्चारण गरेर दाऊदलाई सराप्न थाल्यो। 44 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यता आइज, म तेरो मासु चराहरू र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँनेछु।” 45 दाऊदले पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई भन्यो, “तँ मकहाँ तरवार, बर्छा र भाला प्रयोग गर्न आइस्। तर म तँ कहाँ इस्राएलका सेनाहरूका परमेश्वर सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुका नाउँ मात्र लिएर आएको छु। तैंले उहाँको विरूद्धमा नराम्रो वचन बोलीस्। 46 आज परमप्रभुले मलाई तँमाथि विजय दिलाउनु हुन्छ! म तँलाई मार्छु। आज तेरो टाउको काटेर चरा र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँछु। हामी अन्य पलिश्तीहरूलाई पनि यसै गर्छौं। त्यसपछि संसारले नै बुझ्नेछ इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनेर। 47 यहाँ जम्मा भएका सबै मानिसहरूले बुझ्ने छन् कि परमप्रभुलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बचाउँनका निम्ति तरवार र भाला चांहिदैन भनेर। युद्ध परमप्रभुको हो अनि तिमी पलिश्तीहरूलाई हराउनमा परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ।” 48 पलिश्ती गोल्यत दाऊदलाई आक्रमण गर्न सुरियो। र बिस्तारै दाऊद अघि बढ्न थाल्यो। त्यत्ति नै बेला दाऊद दौडिएर लड्न चाँडै अघि सर्यो। 49 दाऊदले आफ्नो झोलाबाट एउटा ढुङ्गा निकाल्यो र घुँयेत्रोमा राखेर मच्चायो। घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गा गएर गोल्यतको आँखा बिच निधारमा लाग्यो। गोल्यत घोप्टो परेर भूईंमा लड्यो। 50 यसरी दाऊदले पलिश्तीलाई घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गाले हिर्काएर हरायो। उसले ढुङ्गाले हिर्कायो अनि पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। दाऊदसँग तरवार थिएन। 51 यसर्थ ऊ दौडिएर पलिश्तीको छेउमा गयो। त्यसपछि दाऊदले गोल्यतकै म्यानबाट तरवार झिकेर गोल्यतको टाउको छिनायो। यसरी दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। जब अरू पलिश्तीले उनीहरूको वीर नै मरेको देखे अनि डरले भाग्न थाले। 52 इस्राएल र यहूदाका सैनिकहरूले जयघोषणा गर्दै दगुर्दै पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्न थाले। इस्राएलीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै-खेद्दै गातको सिमाना र एक्रोनको ढोकासम्म पुर्याए र धेरै संख्यामा पलिश्तीहरू मारे। पलिश्तीहरूको लाश गात र एक्रोनको शारेमसम्म सडकभरी छरपष्ट थियो। 53 पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै सिमाना कटाए पछि इस्राएलीहरू फर्केर पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीमा पसे र त्यहाँ धेरै सामानहरू फेला पारे। 54 दाऊदले पलिश्तीको टाउको यरूशलेममा नै पुर्यायो। पलिश्तीको हात-हतियार पनि आफ्नै पालमा राख्यो। शाऊल दाऊदसँग डराउन थाल्छन् 55 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई गोल्यतसँग लड्न गएको देखेका थिए। शाऊलले सेनाका सेनापति अबनेरसँग सोधे, “अबनेर, त्यस केटोको बाबु चाहिं को हुन्?” अबनेरले भने, “मेरो राजा, शपथ लिएर भन्दैछु, मलाई थाहा छैन।” 56 राजा शाऊले भने, “त्यसको बाबुको चाहिंको रहेछ खोजी गर।” 57 जब दाऊद गोल्यतलाई मारेर फर्के, अबनेरले उसलाई शाऊल कहाँ लग्यो। दाऊदको हातमा अझै पनि त्यस पलिश्तीको टाउको झुण्डिरहेको थियो। 58 शाऊलले उसलाई सोधे, “युवक, तिम्रो बाबु को हुन्?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईं कै सेवक बेतलेहेमका यिशैको छोरा हुँ।”
