17 ¹Abafilisiti bakoranyije ingabo zabo zo kurwana, bateranira i Soko mu Buyuda, bashinga amahema i Efesi-Damimu, hagati ya Soko na Azeka. ²Sawuli n'abagabo b'Abisiraheli barakorana, bashinga amahema mu kibaya cya Ela, maze bategura ingabo zabo bahanganye n'Abafilisiti. ³Abafilisiti bari bahagaze ku musozi umwe, Abisiraheli ku musozi uwuhanganye, ikibaya kiri hagati yabo. ⁴Haje intwari yitwaga Goliyati yo i Gati ava mu nkambi y'Abafilisiti, afite uburebure bwa metero nk'eshatu. ⁵Ku mutwe we yari afite ingofero y'umuringa, kandi yari yambaye umwambaro w'intwaro ukozwe mu byuma upima nk'ibiro mirongo itanu n'indwi. ⁶Amaguru ye yari afunitse ibyuma by'umuringa bimurinda, kandi icumu ry'umuringa ryari rimanitse hagati y'ibitugu bye. ⁷Uruti rw'icumu rye rwari runini nk'igiti cy'ikumbo cy'umuboshyi, kandi umutwe wacyo w'icyuma wapimaga nk'ibiro indwi. Uwamutwazaga ingabo yagendaga imbere ye. ⁸Arahagarara aranguruye ijwi abwira ingabo z'Abisiraheli ati: “Kuki muje gushinga ibirindiro by'intambara? Mbese jye si ndi Umufilisiti, namwe muri abagaragu ba Sawuli? Nimuhitemo umugabo mumunyoherereze. ⁹Nashobora kurwana akanyica, tuzaba abagaragu banyu; ariko nindamurusha nkamwica, muzaba abagaragu bacu kandi muzadukorera.” ¹⁰Nuko wa Mufilisiti aravuga ati: “Uyu munsi nsuzuguye ingabo z'Abisiraheli! Nimumpe umugabo turwane.”

¹¹Sawuli n'Abisiraheli bose bumvise amagambo ya wa Mufilisiti, barakangarana bagira ubwoba bwinshi.

¹²Dawidi yari umuhungu wa Yese, Umwefurata wo i Betelehemu mu Buyuda, wari ufite abahungu umunani. Mu gihe cya Sawuli, Yese yari yashaje, akaba yari ageze mu za bukuru. ¹³Abahungu batatu ba Yese bakuru bakurikiye Sawuli ku rugamba: Eliyabu w'impfura, Abinadabu uwa kabiri, na Shama uwa gatatu. ¹⁴Dawidi ni we wari muto muri bo. Abo batatu bakuru bari bakurikiye Sawuli, ¹⁵ariko Dawidi yajyaga agaruka ava kwa Sawuli, akajya kuragira intama za se i Betelehemu.

¹⁶Wa Mufilisiti yasohokaga buri gitondo na buri mugoroba, agahagarara imbere, mu gihe cy'iminsi mirongo ine.

¹⁷Yese abwira umuhungu we Dawidi ati: “Jyana ku bavandimwe bawe iyi mpamba nyinshi y'ingano zokeje n'iyi migati icumi, maze wihute uyijyane ku bavandimwe bawe bari mu nkambi. ¹⁸Iyi foromaje icumi uyihe umutware w'ingabo zabo. Urebe uko bene so bameze, maze ugaruke uzane amakuru yabo. ¹⁹Sawuli na bene se ba Dawidi n'abagabo b'Abisiraheli bose bari mu kibaya cya Ela, barwana n'Abafilisiti.”

²⁰Dawidi yazindutse mu gitondo, asiga umukumbi ku murinzi, yikorera maze aragenda nk'uko Yese yari yamutegetse. Ageze mu nkambi, ingabo zari zisohoka zijya mu birindiro, zivuga induru y'intambara. ²¹Abisiraheli n'Abafilisiti bashinga ibirindiro byabo bahanganye. ²²Dawidi asiga ibintu bye ku murinzi w'ibintu, yiruka ajya mu birindiro, aramutsa bene se. ²³Akivugana na bo, Goliyati wa Mufilisiti w'intwari wo i Gati ava mu ngabo z'Abafilisiti, aranguruye ijwi avuga amagambo ye asanzwe, maze Dawidi arabyumva. ²⁴Abagabo b'Abisiraheli babonye uwo mugabo, bose barahunga bafite ubwoba bwinshi. ²⁵Abagabo b'Abisiraheli baravuga bati: “Mbese murabona uyu mugabo ukomeza gusohoka? Aza gusuzugura Abisiraheli. Umwami azaha ubutunzi bwinshi uzamwica, akamuha n'umukobwa we, kandi azakuraho imirimo umuryango wa se mu Isiraheli.”

²⁶Dawidi abaza abagabo bari bamwegereye ati: “Uzica uyu Mufilisiti akanakuraho ikimwaro cy'Abisiraheli azahabwa iki? Kuko uyu Mufilisiti utakebwe ari nde, ngo asuzugure ingabo za Data wa twese uriho?”

²⁷Abantu bamusubiriramo ibyo bagomba gukorera umugabo uzamwica.

²⁸Eliyabu, mukuru wa Dawidi, yumvise avugana n'abagabo, aramurakarira cyane. Ati: “Waramanukiye iki? Utwo ntama duke wadusize ku nde mu butayu? Nzi ubwibone bwawe n'umutima wawe mubi, waje kugira ngo wirebere intambara gusa.”

²⁹Dawidi ati: “None se noneho nakoze iki? Icyo nakoze ni ukubaza gusa.” ³⁰Ahindukirira undi, abaza kimwe, maze abantu baramusubiza nk'uko babanje. ³¹Amagambo Dawidi yavuze yumvikana, abwirwa Sawuli, nuko Sawuli amuhamagaza. ³²Dawidi abwira Sawuli ati: “Ntihakagire umuntu ucika intege bitewe na we. Umugaragu wawe azagenda arwana na uyu Mufilisiti.”

³³Sawuli aramusubiza ati: “Ntushobora kurwana na uyu Mufilisiti. Uracyari umwana, na we akaba umurwanyi kuva mu busore bwe.”

³⁴Dawidi abwira Sawuli ati: “Umugaragu wawe yaragiraga intama za se. Iyo intare cyangwa idubu yazaga igatwara intama mu mukumbi, ³⁵narayikurikiraga, nkayikubita, nkarokora iyo ntama mu kanwa kayo. Iyo yampindukiraga, nkayifata ku bwoya bw'ijosi ryayo, nkayikubita nkayica. ³⁶Umugaragu wawe yishe intare n'idubu byombi; uyu Mufilisiti utakebwe azamera nka kimwe muri byo, kuko yasuzuguye ingabo za Data wa twese uriho.” ³⁷Dawidi yongeraho ati: “Data wa twese wankijije mu kuboko kw'intare n'ukw'idubu, ni we uzankiza mu kuboko kwa uyu Mufilisiti.” Sawuli aravuga ati: “Genda, Data wa twese abane nawe.”

³⁸Nuko Sawuli yambika Dawidi intwaro ze bwite. Amushyira ingofero y'umuringa ku mutwe, amwambika n'umwambaro w'intwaro. ³⁹Dawidi yikenyeza inkota hejuru y'intwaro, agerageza kugenda, ariko ntiyari abimenyereye. Abwira Sawuli ati: “Sinshobora kugenda nambaye ibi, kuko ntabimenyereye.” Nuko arabikuramo.

⁴⁰Afata inkoni ye, atoranya amabuye atanu asize yo mu mugezi, ayashyīra mu mufuka w'umushumba we, afashe umuhumetso mu kuboko, aramwegera wa Mufilisiti. ⁴¹Icyo gihe wa Mufilisiti akomeza kwegera Dawidi, uwamutwariraga ingabo amubanjirije imbere. ⁴²Wa Mufilisiti areba Dawidi, abona ko ari umwana muto gusa, utukura kandi w'uburanga, aramusuzugura. ⁴³Abwira Dawidi ati: “Mbese ndi imbwa, kugira ngo unzanire inkoni?” Nuko wa Mufilisiti avuma Dawidi mu izina ry'imana ze. ⁴⁴Aramubwira ati: “Ingwa hino, nzaha inyama zawe ibisiga byo mu kirere n'inyamaswa zo mu gasozi.”

⁴⁵Dawidi abwira wa Mufilisiti ati: “Wowe uza undwanya ufite inkota n'icumu n'icumu rito, naho jye nza kugutera mu izina rya Data w'ingabo zo mu ijuru, Data w'ingabo z'Abisiraheli wasuzuguye. ⁴⁶Uyu munsi Data wa twese azaguha mu maboko yanjye, nkwice nkugote umutwe. Uyu munsi nyine nzaha imirambo y'ingabo z'Abafilisiti ibisiga byo mu kirere n'inyamaswa zo mu gasozi, maze isi yose izamenye ko muri Isiraheli hariho Data wa twese.

⁴⁷Kandi iri teraniro ryose rizamenya ko Data wa twese akiza adakoresheje inkota cyangwa icumu, kuko intambara ari iya Data wa twese, na we azabashyira mu maboko yacu mwese.”

⁴⁸Wa Mufilisiti agiye kwegera Dawidi ngo amutere, Dawidi yiruka vuba ajya mu birindiro by'intambara kugira ngo amusanganire. ⁴⁹Dawidi ashyira ukuboko mu mufuka we, akuramo ibuye, aritera n'umuhumetso, akubita wa Mufilisiti mu ruhanga. Ibuye ryinjira mu ruhanga, apfukama ubgambaraye hasi. ⁵⁰Uko ni ko Dawidi yatsinze wa Mufilisiti akoresheje umuhumetso n'ibuye; nta nkota afite mu ntoki, aramukubita aramwica. ⁵¹Dawidi yiruka ahagarara iruhande rwe. Afata inkota ya wa Mufilisiti, ayikura mu rwubati, aramwica, maze ayigoteshaho umutwe. Abafilisiti babonye ko intwari yabo yapfuye, barahunga.

⁵²Nuko abagabo b'Abisiraheli n'ab'i Buyuda barahaguruka basakuza, barukankana Abafilisiti kugeza ku irembo ry'i Gati no ku marembo ya Ekuroni. Imirambo y'Abafilisiti yari iryamye ku nzira ya Shārayimu igana i Gati na Ekuroni. ⁵³Abisiraheli bamaze kurukankana Abafilisiti bagarutse, basahura inkambi yabo. ⁵⁴Dawidi afata umutwe wa wa Mufilisiti awujyana i Yeruzalemu, naho intwaro za Goliyati azishyira mu ihema rye. ⁵⁵Sawuli abonye Dawidi asohoka ajya gusanganira wa Mufilisiti, abaza Abuneri umutware w'ingabo ze ati: “Uyu musore ni umuhungu wa nde, Abuneri?” Abuneri aramusubiza ati: “Ndakurahiye mwami wanjye ko ntazi.”

⁵⁶Umwami aravuga ati: “Menya uwo uyu musore ari umuhungu we.”

⁵⁷Dawidi amaze kwica wa Mufilisiti agaruka, Abuneri amufata amujyana imbere ya Sawuli, afashe umutwe wa wa Mufilisiti mu kuboko. ⁵⁸Sawuli aramubaza ati: “Uri umuhungu wa nde, musore?” Dawidi aramusubiza ati: “Ndi umuhungu w'umugaragu wawe Yese w'i Betelehemu.”
