3 Ndipo Afilisti anaima paphiri tsidya lija, ndi Aisraele anaima paphiri tsidya lina; ndi pakati pao panali chigwa.
4 Ndipo ku zithando za Afilisti kunatuluka chiwinda, dzina lake Goliyati wa ku Gati, kutalika kwake ndiko mikono isanu ndi umodzi ndi dzanja limodzi.
5 Ndipo anali ndi chisoti chamkuwa pamutu pake, navala malaya aunyolo, olemera ngati masekeli zikwi zisanu za mkuwa,

7 Ndipo mtengo wa mkondo wake unali ngati mtanda woombera nsalu; ndi mutu wa mkondowo unalemera ngati masekeli mazana asanu ndi limodzi a chitsulo; ndipo womnyamulira chikopa anamtsogolera.
8 Naima iye naitana makamu a nkhondo a Israele, nanena nao, Munatulukiranji kundandalitsa nkhondo yanu? Sindine Mfilisti kodi, ndi inu anyamata a Saulo? Mudzisankhire munthu, atsikire kwa ine.
9 Akakhoza iyeyo kuponyana ndi ine ndi kundipha, tidzakhala ife akapolo anu; koma ine ndikamgonjetsa ndi kumupha, tsono mudzakhala inu akapolo athu, ndi kutitumikira ife.
10 Nati Mfilistiyo, Ine ndinyoza makamu a nkhondo a Israele lero; mundipatse munthu, kuti tilimbane ife awiri.
11 Ndipo pamene Saulo ndi Aisraele onse anamva mau ao a Mfilistiyo, anadodoma, naopa kwambiri.
12 Tsono Davide anali mwana wa Mwefurati uja wa ku Betelehemu ku Yuda, dzina lake ndiye Yese; ameneyu anali nao ana aamuna asanu ndi atatu; ndipo m’masiku a Saulo munthuyo anali nkhalamba, mwa anthu.
13 Ndipo ana atatu aakulu a Yese anatsata Saulo kunkhondoko; ndi maina ao a ana ake atatuwo adapita ku nkhondowo ndiwo Eliyabu woyambayo, ndi mnzake womponda pamutu pake Abinadabu, ndi wachitatu Sama.
14 Ndipo Davide anali wotsiriza; ndi akulu atatuwo anamtsata Saulo.
15 Koma Davide akamuka kwa Saulo, nabwerera kudzadyetsa nkhosa za atate wake ku Betelehemu.
16 Ndipo Mfilistiyo anayandikira m’mawa ndi madzulo, nadzionetsera masiku makumi anai.
17 Ndipo Yese anati kwa Davide mwana wake, Uwatengere abale ako efa wa tirigu uyu wokazinga, ndi mikate iyi khumi, nuthamangire nazo kuzithando kwa abale ako;
18 nunyamule nchinchi izi khumi zamase ukapatse mtsogoleri wa chikwi chao, nukaone m’mene akhalira abale ako, nulandire chikole chao.
19 Tsono Saulo, ndi iwowa, ndi anthu onse a Israele, anali m’chigwa cha Ela, ku nkhondo ya Afilisti.
20 Ndipo Davide anauka m’mamawa, nasiyira nkhosa wozisungira, nasenza zija, namuka, monga anamuuza Yese; ndipo iye anafika ku linga la magaleta, napeza khamu lilikutuluka kunka poponyanira nkhondo lilikufuula.
21 Ndipo Israele ndi Afilisti anandandalitsa nkhondo zao, khamu lina kuyang’anana ndi khamu lina.
22 Ndipo Davide anasiya akatundu ake m’dzanja la wosungira akatundu, nathamangira ku khamulo, nadza nawalonjera abale ake.
23 Ndipo m’mene iye anali chilankhulire nao, onani chinakwerako chiwindacho, Mfilisti wa ku Gati, dzina lake Goliyati, wotuluka pakati pa mipambo ya Afilisti, nalankhula monga mau omwe aja; ndipo Davide anawamva.
24 Ndipo Aisraele onse, pakumuona munthuyo, anamthawa, naopa kwambiri.
25 Nati Aisraele, Kodi mwaona munthu uyu amene anakwera kuno? Zoonadi iye anakwera kuti adzanyoze Israele, ndipo munthu wakumupha iye, mfumu idzamlemeretsa ndi chuma chambiri, nidzampatsa mwana wake wamkazi, nidzayesa nyumba ya atate wake yaufulu mu Israele.
26 Ndipo Davide analankhula ndi anthu akuima pafupi ndi iye, nati, Adzamchitira chiyani munthu wakupha Mfilisti uyu, ndi kuchotsa tonzo lake pakati pa Israele? Pakuti Mfilisti uyu wosadulidwa ndiye yani, kuti azinyoza makamu a Mulungu wamoyo?
27 Ndipo anthuwo anamyankha motero, nati, Adzamchitira munthu wakumupha iye mwakutimwakuti.
28 Ndipo Eliabu mkulu wake anamumva iye alikulankhula ndi anthu; ndipo Eliyabu anapsa mtima ndi Davide, nati, Unatsikiranji kuno? Ndi nkhosa zija zowerengeka unazisiya ndi yani, m’chipululu muja? Ine ndidziwa kudzikuza kwako ndi kuipa kwa mtima wako; pakuti watsika kuti udzaone nkhondoyi.
29 Ndipo Davide anati, Ndachitanji tsopano? Palibe chifukwa kodi?
30 Napotolokera iye kwa munthu wina, nalankhula mau omwewo; ndipo anthu anamyankhanso monga momwemo.
31 Ndipo pamene mau adanena Davide anamveka, anawapitiriza kwa Saulo; ndipo iye anamuitana.
32 Ndipo Davide anati kwa Saulo, Asade nkhawa munthu aliyense chifukwa cha iyeyo; ine kapolo wanu ndidzapita kuponyana ndi Mfilisti uyu.
33 Ndipo Saulo anati kwa Davide, Sukhoza iwe kukomana ndi Mfilisti uyu kukaponyana naye; pakuti iwe ndiwe mnyamata, koma iye anazolowera nkhondo kuyambira ubwana wake.
34 Ndipo Davide anati kwa Saulo, Ine kapolo wanu ndinalikusunga nkhosa za atate wanga; ndipo pakubwera mkango, mwina chimbalangondo ndi kutenga nkhosa ya gululo,
35 ndinachithamangira, ndi kuchikantha, ndi kuitulutsa m’kamwa mwake; ndipo pamene chinandiukira, ndinagwira tchowa lake ndi kuchikantha ndi kuchipha.
36 Ine kapolo wanu ndinapha mkango ndi chimbalangondo zonse ziwiri; ndipo Mfilisti uyu wosadulidwa adzakhala ngati mmodzi wa izo, popeza wanyoza makamu a Mulungu wamoyo.
37 Nati Davide, Yehova wakundipulumutsa pa mphamvu ya mkango, ndi mphamvu ya chimbalangondo, Iyeyu adzandipulumutsa m’dzanja la Mfilisti uyu. Ndipo Saulo anati kwa Davide, Muka, Yehova akhale nawe.
38 Ndipo Saulo anaveka Davide zovala zake za iye yekha, namveka chisoti chamkuwa pamutu pake, namvekanso malaya aunyolo.
39 Ndipo Davide anamanga lupanga lake pamwamba pa zovala zake, nayesa kuyenda nazo; popeza sanaziyesere kale. Ndipo Davide anati kwa Saulo, Sindingathe kuyenda ndi izi; pakuti sindinazizolowere. Nazivula Davide.
40 Natenga ndodo yake m’dzanja lake nadzisankhira miyala isanu yosalala ya mumtsinje, naiika m’thumba la kubusa, limene anali nalo ndilo chibete; ndi choponyera miyala chinali m’dzanja lake, momwemo anayandikira kwa Mfilistiyo.
41 Ndipo Mfilistiyo anadza, nayandikira kwa Davide; ndi wonyamula chikopa chake anamtsogolera.
42 Ndipo Mfilisti pakumwazamwaza maso, ndi kuona Davide, anampeputsa; popeza anali mnyamata chabe, wofiirira, ndi wa nkhope yokongola.
43 Ndipo Mfilisti anati kwa Davide, Ine ndine galu kodi, kuti iwe ukudza kwa ine ndi ndodo? Ndi Mfilistiyo anatukwana Davide natchula milungu yake.
44 Ndipo Mfilistiyo anati kwa Davide, Idza kuno kwa ine, ndidzapatsa mnofu wako kwa mbalame za mlengalenga, ndi kwa zilombo zakuthengo.
45 Ndipo Davide anati kwa Mfilistiyo, Iwe ukudza kwa ine ndi lupanga, ndi mkondo, ndi nthungo; koma ine ndafika kwa iwe m’dzina la Yehova wa makamu, Mulungu wa ankhondo a Israele amene iwe unawanyoza.
46 Lero lino Yehova adzakupereka iwe m’dzanja langa, ndipo ndidzakukantha, ndi kukuchotsera mutu wako. Ndipo lero ndidzapatsa mitembo ya makamu a Afilisti kwa mbalame za mlengalenga, ndi kwa zilombo za dziko lapansi; kuti dziko lonse likazindikire kuti kwa Israele kuli Mulungu.
47 Ndi msonkhano wonse uno udzazindikira kuti Yehova sapulumutsa ndi lupanga, kapena ndi mkondo; pakuti Yehova ndiye mwini nkhondo, ndipo Iye adzakuperekani inu m’manja athu.
48 Ndipo kunali, pamene Mfilistiyo anadzikonza, nadza, nasendera pafupi kuti akomane ndi Davide, Davide anafulumira, nathamangira ku khamulo, kuti akomane ndi Mfilistiyo.
49 Ndipo Davide anapisa dzanja lake m’thumba mwake, natulutsamo mwala, nauponya, nalasa Mfilistiyo pamphumi; ndi mwalawo unalowa m’mphumi, ndipo iye anagwa pansi chafufumimba.
50 Chomwecho Davide anapambana Mfilistiyo ndi mwala wa choponyera chake, nakantha Mfilistiyo, namupha. Koma m’dzanja la Davide munalibe lupanga.
51 Potero Davide anathamanga naima pa Mfilistiyo, nagwira lupanga lake, nalisolola m’chimake, namtsiriza nadula nalo mutu wake. Ndipo pakuona Afilisti kuti chiwinda chao chidafa, anathawa.
52 Ndipo anthu a Israele ndi Ayuda ananyamuka, nafuula, nathamangira Afilistiwo, mpaka kufika kuchigwako, ndi ku zipata za Ekeroni. Ndipo Afilistiwo olasidwa anagwa panjira ya ku Saaraimu, kufikira ku Gati ndi ku Ekeroni.
53 Ndipo ana a Israele atathamangira Afilisti, anabwerera nafunkha za m’zithando zao.
54 Ndipo Davide anatenga mutu wa Mfilistiyo, napita nao kuYerusalemu; koma zida zake anazisunga m’hema wake.
55 Ndipo pamene Saulo anaona Davide alikutulukira kwa Mfilistiyo, iye anati kwa Abinere, kazembe wa khamu la nkhondo, Abinere, mnyamata uyu ndi mwana wa yani? Nati Abinere, Pali moyo wanu, mfumu, ngati ndidziwa.
56 Ndipo mfumu inati, Ufunsire kuti mnyamatayo ndi mwana wa yani.
57 Ndipo pamene Davide anabwera, atapha Mfilistiyo, Abinere anamtenga, nafika naye pamaso pa Saulo, mutu wa Mfilistiyo uli m’dzanja lake.
58 Ndipo Saulo anati kwa iye, Mnyamata iwe, ndiwe mwana wa yani? Davide nayankha, Ndili mwana wa kapolo wanu Yese wa ku Betelehemu.
