1 Samuel 17
Maori Bible
17 Na kua huihui nga Pirihitini i a ratou ope ki te whawhai, a ka whakaminea ki Hokoho o Hura, noho ana i waenganui o Hokoho, o Ateka, i Epeheramime.
2 I huihui ano a Haora ratou ko nga tangata o Iharaira, i noho ki te raorao o Eraha; a ka whakatakoto i a ratou ngohi mo te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini.
3 Na i runga nga Pirihitini i te maunga i tenei taha e tu ana, me Iharaira i te maunga i tera taha e tu ana: he wharua hoki i waenganui o ratou.
4 Na ko te putanga o tetahi tangata, he papatu, i roto i te puni o nga Pirihitini, ko tona ingoa, ko Koriata, no Kata, e ono whatianga kotahi hoki whanganga a te ringa tona roa.
5 A he parahi te potae o tona matenga, he pukupuku unahi hoki tona kakahu: ko te taimaha o te pukupuku e rima mano hekere parahi.
6 He whakapuru tao parahi kei ona waewae, a i ona pokohiwi he timata parahi.
7 Rite tonu hoki ki te rakau a te kaiwhatu te kakau o tana taora; na, ko te taimaha o te tete o tana taoroa e ono rau hekere rino: i mua ano i a ia e haere ana te kaimau o tana whakangungu rakau.
8 Na ka tu ia, a ka karanga ki nga ngohi a Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou i puta mai ai ki te whakatakoto i a koutou ngohi: ehara ianei ahau i te Pirihitini, ko koutou he pononga na Haora? whiriwhiria he tangata ma koutou, a kia heke ih o ia ki ahau.
9 Ki te kaha ia ki te whawhai ki ahau, ki te patu i ahau, na ko matou hei pononga ma koutou: ki te kaha ia ko ahau i a ia, ki te patu i a ia, na hei pononga koutou ma matou, a me mahi koutou ki a matou.
10 I mea ano taua Pirihitini, Tenei taku whakatara inaianei mo nga ngohi a Iharaira; homai he tangata ki ahau kia whawhai maua.
11 A, i te rongonga o Haora ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki enei kupu a te Pirihitini, hopi noa iho ratou, nui atu te wehi.
12 Na, he tama a Rawiri na taua Eparati o Peterehema Hura, ko Hehe nei tona ingoa, tokowaru hoki ana tama: a i nga ra o Haora kua koroheketia taua tangata i roto i nga tangata.
13 Na, tokotoru nga tama a Hehe, ko nga kaumatua, i haere, i aru i a Haora ki te pakanga: ko nga ingoa enei o ana tama tokotoru i haere nei ki te pakanga, ko Eriapa te matamua, ko to muri iho i a ia ko Apinarapa, a ko Hamaha te tuatoru.
14 Ko Rawiri hoki to muri rawa: na aru ana nga mea kaumatua tokotoru i a Haora.
15 Na haere ai a Rawiri, a ka hoki atu i a Haora ki te tiaki i nga hipi a tona papa i Peterehema.
16 Na i te ata, i te ahiahi, ka whakatata mai taua Pirihitini, ka whakaatu i a ia, e wha tekau nga ra.
17 Na ka mea a Hehe ki tana tama, ki a Rawiri, Tena, maua atu tetahi wahi o tenei witi pahuhu, kia kotahi epa, ma ou tuakana, me enei taro kotahi tekau, rere atu ki te puni, ki ou tuakana;
18 Maua atu hoki enei tiihi kotahi tekau ki to ratou rangatira mano, ka tirotiro atu kei te pehea ou tuakana, ka tango mai ai i a ratou tohu.
19 Na i te raorao o Eraha a Haora me ratou, me nga tangata katoa hoki o Iharaira e whawhai ana ki nga Pirihitini.
20 Na ka maranga wawe a Rawiri i te ata, tukua atu ana e ia nga hipi ki te kaitiaki, a mauria ana aua mea e ia, haere ana; pera ana ia me ta Hehe i whakahau ai ki a ia. A, no tona taenga ki te parepare e haere ana te ope ki te whawhai, e hamama ana, mo te whai.
21 Kua oti hoki i a Iharaira ratou ko nga Pirihitini nga ngohi te whakatakoto, tenei ngohi hei whawhai ki tera ngohi.
22 Na tukua ana e Rawiri tana pikaunga ki te ringa o te kaitiaki o nga pikaunga, a rere ana ki te taua, ka tae, ka oha ki ona tuakana.
23 I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, na ko taua papatu, ko te Pirihitini o Kata, ko Koriata tona ingoa, e haere mai ana i roto i nga ngohi a nga Pirihitini, a ka korero ko aua korero ra ano, a ka rongo a Rawiri.
24 A, i te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i taua tangata, rere ana ratou i tona aroaro, a nui atu to ratou wehi.
25 Na ka mea nga tangata o Iharaira, I kite ranei koutou i taua tangata i haere mai nei? He pono he whakatara mo Iharaira i haere mai ai ia: na, ko te tangata e patua ai ia, nui atu nga taonga e homai e te kingi ki a ia, ka homai ano e ia tana tama hine ki a ia, ka whakarangatiratia ano te whare o tona papa i roto i a Iharaira.
26 Na ka korero a Rawiri ki nga tangata e tu ana i tona taha, ka mea, Ka peheatia te tangata e patua ai tenei Pirihitini, e mutu ai te tawai o Iharaira? ko wai hoki tenei Pirihitini kokotikore i whakatara ai ia ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora?
27 Na ka penei te whakahoki a te iwi ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Ka pera ano te hanga ki te tangata, e patua ai ia.
28 A, no te rongonga o Eriapa, o tona tuakana matamua, i a ia e korero ana ki aua tangata, ko te tino muranga o te riri o Eriapa ki a Rawiri, ka mea ia He aha koe i haere mai ai? i tukua e koe ki a wai aua hipi torutoru ra i te koraha? e mohio ana ahau ki tou whakapehapeha, ki te kino ano hoki o tou ngakau, he matakitaki hoki i te whawhai i haere mai ai koe ki raro nei.
29 Na ka mea a Rawiri, I aha koia ahau? Kahore ranei he take?
30 Na ka tahuri atu ia i a ia ki tetahi atu, a ka korero atu ko aua kupu ano; a rite tonu ki te kupu tuatahi te kupu i whakahokia mai e te iwi ki a ia.
31 A, no ka rangona nga kupu i korerotia e Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou ki a Haora; a ka tono ia kia tikina ia.
32 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, Kei hopi te ngakau o tetahi ki a ia: ma tau pononga e haere ki te whawhai ki tenei Pirihitini.
33 Na ka mea a Haora ki a Rawiri, E kore e taea e koe te haere ki tenei Pirihitini whawhai ai: he tamariki nei hoki koe, he tangata hapai patu ia no tona tamarikitanga ake.
34 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, I te tiaki tau pononga i nga hipi a tona papa; na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi raiona, o tetahi pea, kahakina atu ana he reme i roto i te kahui;
35 Na ka puta atu ahau ki te whai i a ia, a patua ana ia e ahau: tangohia mai ana hoki te reme i roto i tona waha; a, no tona whakatikanga mai ki ahau, hopukia ana tona kumikumi e ahau, patua iho kia mate.
36 I patua ruruatia te raiona me te pea e tau pononga; a ka rite tenei Pirihitini kokotikore ki tetahi o raua; mona i whakatara ki nga ngohi a te Atua ora.
37 I mea ano a Rawiri, Ma Ihowa nana nei ahau i whakaora i te wae o te raiona, i te wae o te pea, mana ahau e whakaora i te ringa o tenei Pirihitini. Ano ra ko Haora ki a Rawiri, Haere, hei a koe ano a Ihowa.
38 Na ka whakakakahuria a Rawiri e Haora ki ona kakahu, i potaea ano tona matenga e ia ki te potae parahi: i whakakakahuria ano hoki e ia he pukupuku rino ki a ia.
39 A whitikiria ana e Rawiri tana hoari ki waho ake o ona kakahu; ka anga, ka haere; kihai hoki i whakamatauria e ia. Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Haora, E kore e tika taku haere i enei, kahore hoki i whakamatauria e ahau. Na whakarerea atu ana e Rawiri.
40 Na ka maua atu e ia ko tana tokotoko i tona ringa; i whiriwhiria ano etahi kohatu maeneene e rima mana i roto i te awa, a whaowhina ana ki roto ki tana peke hepara, ara ki te putea; i tona ringa ano tana kotaha, na ko tona whakatatanga atu ki te Pirihitini.
41 A i haere tonu mai te Pirihitini, i whakatata mai ki a Rawiri; ko te kaimau ano o tana whakangungu rakau i haere i mua i a ia.
42 A, no te tirotirohanga o te Pirihitini, ka kite i a Rawiri, whakahawea ana ki a ia; he taitamariki hoki ia, he kiri puwhero, he ataahua hoki.
43 Na ka mea te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, He kuri ahau i haere mai ai koe me nga tokotoko ki ahau? Na, kanga iho a Rawiri e te Pirihitini ki ona atua.
44 I mea ano te Pirihitini ki a Rawiri, Haere mai ki ahau, a ka hoatu e ahau ou kikokiko ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe o te parae.
45 Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki te Pirihitini, I haere mai koe ki ahau me te hoari, me te taoroa, me te timata: ko ahau ia ka haere atu nei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa o nga mano, o te Atua o nga taua a Iharaira, o tau i whakatara ake na.
46 Ko aianei koe tukua mai ai e Ihowa ki toku ringa, a ka patua koe e ahau, ka tangohia tou upoko i a koe, a ka hoatu aianei nga tinana o te ope o nga Pirihitini ma nga manu o te rangi, ma nga kararehe mohoao o te whenua, a ka mohio te whenua katoa he Atua ano to Iharaira.
47 A ka mohio tenei whakaminenga katoa, ehara te hoari, te taoroa ranei, i ta Ihowa mea hei whakaora: na Ihowa hoki te whawhai, a mana koutou e homai ki o matou ringa.
48 Na ka whakatika te Pirihitini, ka haere mai, ka whakatata ki te whakatutaki i a Rawiri, na ka hohoro a Rawiri, a rere ana ki te taua kia tutaki ki te Pirihitini.
49 Na kua totoro iho te ringa o Rawiri ki roto ki te peke, kei te tango i tetahi kohatu i roto, piua atu ana e ia, na kua tu te rae o te Pirihitini, toremi atu te kohatu ki roto ki tona rae. Na hinga tapapa iho ana ia ki te whenua.
50 Heoi he kotaha, he kohatu ta Rawiri, a hinga ana i a ia te Pirihitini, patua ana e ia, mate rawa. Otiia kahore he hoari i te ringa o Rawiri
51 Katahi ka rere a Rawiri, a tu ana i runga i te Pirihitini, na ka mau ki tana hoari, unuhia ana e ia i roto i te takotoranga, na whakamatea ana ia, a tapahia ana tona upoko ki taua hoari. A, no te kitenga o nga Pirihitini kua mate to ratou toa, w hati ana ratou.
52 Na ka whakatika nga tangata o Iharaira ratou ko Hura, hamama ana, na whaia ana e ratou nga Pirihitini a tae noa koe ki te raorao, ki nga kuwaha o Ekerono. Na hinga ana nga mea i patua o nga Pirihitini i te ara ki Haaraimi a tae noa ki Kata, ki E kerono.
53 Na ka hoki nga tama a Iharaira i te whai i nga Pirihitini, na kei te pahua i to ratou puni.
54 Na ka mau a Rawiri ki te upoko o te Pirihitini, a kawea ana ki Hiruharama: ko ana mea ia mo te patu i waiho e ia i tona teneti.
55 Na, i te kitenga o Haora i a Rawiri e haere atu ana ki te tu i te Pirihitini, ka mea ia ki a Apanere, ki te rangatira ope, E Apanere, he tama na wai tena tamaiti? ka mea a Apanere, E ora ana tou wairua, e te kingi, kahore ahau e mohio.
56 Na ka mea te kingi, Ui atu he tama na wai taua tamaiti.
57 Na i te hokinga mai o Rawiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka mau a Apanere ki a ia, a kawea ana ki te aroaro o Haora, me te pane ano o te Pirihitini i tona ringa.
58 Na ka mea a Haora ki a ia, E tama, na wai koe tamaiti? Ano ra ko Rawiri, He tama ahau na tau pononga, na Hehe o Peterehema.

New International Version
David and Goliath
17 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled(A) at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh(B) and Azekah.(C) 2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah(D) and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath,(E) who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin(F) was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod,(G) and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer(H) went ahead of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose(I) a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy(J) the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.(K)” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite(L) named Jesse,(M) who was from Bethlehem(N) in Judah. Jesse had eight(O) sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab;(P) the second, Abinadab;(Q) and the third, Shammah.(R) 14 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend(S) his father’s sheep(T) at Bethlehem.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.
17 Now Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah[d](U) of roasted grain(V) and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. 18 Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers(W) are and bring back some assurance[e] from them. 19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Early in the morning David left the flock in the care of a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. 22 David left his things with the keeper of supplies,(X) ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were. 23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual(Y) defiance, and David heard it. 24 Whenever the Israelites saw the man, they all fled from him in great fear.
25 Now the Israelites had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter(Z) in marriage and will exempt his family from taxes(AA) in Israel.”
26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace(AB) from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised(AC) Philistine that he should defy(AD) the armies of the living(AE) God?”
27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger(AF) at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”
29 “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” 30 He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. 31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart(AG) on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
33 Saul replied,(AH) “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion(AI) or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized(AJ) it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion(AK) and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued(AL) me from the paw of the lion(AM) and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with(AN) you.”
38 Then Saul dressed David in his own(AO) tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer(AP) in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome,(AQ) and he despised(AR) him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog,(AS) that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds(AT) and the wild animals!(AU)”
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,(AV) but I come against you in the name(AW) of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.(AX) 46 This day the Lord will deliver(AY) you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses(AZ) of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world(BA) will know that there is a God in Israel.(BB) 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword(BC) or spear that the Lord saves;(BD) for the battle(BE) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling(BF) and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut(BG) off his head with the sword.(BH)
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron.(BI) Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim(BJ) road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 As Saul watched David(BK) going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner,(BL) whose son is that young man?”
Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”
56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse(BM) of Bethlehem.”
