1 Samuel 17Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA) 17 Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda, and camped between Socho and Azeca in the borders of Dommim. 2 And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight 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 man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span: 5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass: 6 And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders. 7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him. 8 And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand. 9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us. 10 And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand. 11 And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men. 13 And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma. 14 But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul, 15 David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem. 16 Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 17 And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren. 18 And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed. 19 But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines. 20 David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle. 21 For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared. 22 And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren. 23 And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them. 24 And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly. 25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take 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 the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him. 28 Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle. 29 And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak? 30 And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before. 31 And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul. 32 And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth. 34 And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock: 35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them. 36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God? 37 And David said: The Lord 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. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee. 38 And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail. 39 And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, 40 And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. 41 And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance. 43 And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. 45 And David said 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, which thou hast defied. 46 This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the 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 it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 48 And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine. 49 And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth. 50 And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand, 51 He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. 52 And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron. 53 And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp. 54 And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent. 55 Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not. 56 And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is. 57 And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite.

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।”
