Beesololeza e Soko eky’omu Buyudaaya, era baasimba weema dhaibwe mu kifo ekyayetebwanga Efesi Dammimu, nga kiri ghagati gha Soko ni Azeka. 2Saulo n’abalwani be Abaisiraeli beesoloza, baasimba weema dhaibwe mu kiiko ky’e Ela, era beetegeka okulwanisa Abafilisiti. 3Abafilisiti baayemerera ku lusozi ku luuyi olundi, ate Abaisiraeli baayemerera ku lusozi ku luuyi olundi, ekiiko kyababaamu ghagati.
4Mu balwani Abafilisiti mwalimu eyali abasinga boonaboona, nga bamweta Goliathi ow’omu kibuga Gathi. Obuleeyi yali agheza kumpi mita isatu. 5Yali avaire enkoofiira ku mutwe nga ya kyuma kya kikomo, era yaavaala ekivaalo eky’omu lutalo nga kya kyuma kya kikomo nga kizitogha kilo ng’oti makumi ataanu na musanvu. 6Ku magulu ge yali avaire ebintu eby’ekyuma ky’ekikomo, era ng’ali n’eifumo ery’ekyuma ky’ekikomo ku mabega. 7Olunhago olw’eifumo lye lwali nga lwaga n’ekiti kye balukisa olugoye obunene. Ate eifumo lyene nga lizitogha kilo ng’oti musanvu. Era yali n’omuntu eyamugemeranga engabo, nga n’amukulemberamu. 8Agho Goliathi yaayemerera, yaakoba abalwani Abaisiraeli ng’aleekaana ati: “Lwaki mwidhie okwetegeka okulwana? Nze ndi Mufilisiti, ate imwe muli bagheereza ba Saulo. Mwerondemu omuntu aidhe ye ndi. 9Bw’anaasobola okulwana ninze n’andhita, olwo ife twidha kuba bagheereza baimwe. Aye nze bwe nnaamughangula ni mmwita, olwo imwe mwidha kuba bagheereza baife mutugheerezenga.” 10Omufilisiti oyo era yaakoba ati: “Olwaleero ndi kusonsoonia eigye lya Isiraeli. Mumpe omuntu nwane naye.” 11Agho Saulo n’Abaisiraeli boonaboona bwe baawulira ebibono ebyo eby’Omufilisiti, baawaamu amaani era baatya ebitaloodheka.
Daudi ng’ali mu kifo Saulo ghe yasimba weema dhe
12Daudi yali mutabane wa Yesse Omuefurathi ow’e Bethelehemu mu Buyudaaya. Yesse oyo yali ni batabane be munaana. Mu biseera bya Saulo, Yesse oyo yali akairiighe inho. 13Batabane ba Yesse oyo abakulu baali bajiire ni Saulo mu lutalo. Amaina gaibwe ni gano: Eliabu nga n’omwana omuberi, Abinadabu yaamwiraku, ate Shamma yairaku. 14Daudi yali nga n’asembayo obuto. Kale engeri bakulu be ye baali nga bajiire ni Saulo, 15yali n’okujanga ye Saulo okubaluutaku, era n’okujanga e Bethelehemu okwaya entaama dha ise. 16Omufilisiti oyo yaidhanga buli lunaku, enkyo n’eigulo, yaasonsoonianga Abaisiraeli okumala enaku amakumi ana.
17Lwali lulala Yesse yaakoba mutabane we Daudi ati: “Yangughaku oje ye baganda bo ere mu kifo aghaasimbwa weema, obatwalire kilo dhino eikumi edh’emere eno ey’empeke enkalange n’emigaati gino eikumi. 18Era twalira n’omuduumizi ebitole bino eikumi eby’omuzigo omugemu. Ja obone baganda bo bwe bali era ondeetere akamanhiso okuva ye bali.”
19Saulo, ni baganda ba Daudi, era n’abalwani Abaisiraeli boonaboona baali nga bali mu kiiko eky’e Ela, nga bali kulwana n’Abafilisiti.
20Daudi yaasitukagho ku nkyo, entaama yaadhirekera omuntu anaadhirabirira, yaatwala eby’okulya nga Yesse bwe yamulagira. Yaatuuka mu kifo Abaisiraeli ghe baasimba weema dhaibwe, ng’eigye liri kufuluma okuja okulwana, eno nga bwe lyemba enhembo edh’omu lutalo. 21Agho Abaisiraeli n’Abafilisiti baalingagana, beetegeka okulwanagana. 22Daudi yaatoola ebintu bye yatwala, yaabirekera omukuumi w’eiterekero, mwene yaalumuka okutuuka ku igye, yaaja yaalamusa baganda be. 23Yali akaayogera ni baganda be, omulwani ole asinga boonaboona Omufilisiti ow’e Gathi, eyayetebwanga Goliathi, yeesowolayo mu igye ly’Abafilisiti, yaidha yaayogera ebibono n’ebirala nga bye yayogera ku mukuzi ogundi. Daudi yaamuwulira ng’ayogera.
24Agho abalwani Abaisiraeli bwe baabona omusaadha oyo, baatya inho baalumuka. 25Era baakoba bati: “Muboine omusaadha oyo eyeesowoireyo n’aidha? Bwenebwene aidhie kusonsoonia Isiraeli. Omuntu anaamwita, kyabazinga aidha kumugha obukombe kamaala, amughe ni mughala we amufumbirwe era afuule n’ab’omu ndhu ya ise okuba ab’eidembe mu Isiraeli.”
26Daudi yaabuuza abantu abaali beemereire okumpi naye, ati: “Kiki kye baja okukolera omuntu anaita Omufilisiti oyo, n’atoola ku Isiraeli ekyobeera ekyo? Obwo katyo Omufilisiti oyo atali mukekete naani, yeena okunhooma eigye lya Katonda omulamu?” 27Abantu baamwiramu mu nsambo n’endala nga bwe baali bamaze okukoba, bati: “Omuntu anaita omusaadha oyo, ekyo kye baidha okumukolera.”
28Eliabu muganda wa Daudi eyali abasinga boonaboona obukulu, bwe yawulira nga Daudi ali kwogera n’abantu abo, obusungu bwe bwatumbukira ku Daudi oyo ng’oti muliro. Yaamubuuza ati: “Lwaki oidhie ghano? Era entaama edho odhirekeire ani eyo mu irungu? Ndidhi okwepankapanka kwo kw’oli nakwo. Era olwo oidhie kubona lutalo bwe luli.”
29Daudi yaakoba ati: “Buti nkoze ki? Kibi okubuuzaaku?” 30Agho yaakyuka, yaabuuza omuntu owundi ekintu n’ekirala kire. Era abantu baamwiramu nga bwe baamwiramu mu kusooka.
31Abantu abaawulira Daudi bye yayogera, baaja baabikobera Saulo, era Saulo yaayetesa Daudi. 32Daudi yaakoba Saulo ati: “Isebantu kyabazinga, ghatabaagho awaamu maani olw’Omufilisiti oyo. Nze omugheereza wo ndidha kuja nwane naye.”
33Saulo yaamwiramu ati: “Toghanga kuja kulwana na Mufilisiti oyo, kuba oli muto inho ku mwene. Ate nga mwene abaire mulwani mu ntalo okuva mu buto bwe.”
34Aye Daudi yaakoba Saulo ati: “Nze omugheereza wo mbairenga nga ndhaya ntaama dha lata wange. Era nga bwemba nga ndi kudhaaya, memale empologoma oba ensolo enkambwe n’eidha n’etwalaku entaama ento, 35nga ngibingirira, naaja naagirwanisa, naagigisuuza. Era ensolo eyo nga bw’esituka okuunwanisa, nga ngigema akalevu, n’agikuba naagiita. 36Nze omugheereza wo, nga bwembairenga nga ndhita empologoma n’ensolo enkambwe, era ntyo bwe ndidha okwita n’Omufilisiti oyo atali mukekete, anhoomye amagye ga Katonda omulamu.” 37Era Daudi yaakoba ati: “Eyantoola mu nkumu edh’empologoma n’edh’ensolo enkambwe, aidha kuntoola ni mu ngalo edh’Omufilisiti oyo.”
Agho Saulo yaakoba Daudi ati: “Kale ja, Musengwa Katonda abe n’iwe.” 38Saulo yaatoola ebivaalo eby’omu lutalo ebibye byene, yaabivaaza Daudi. Era nga ni bino: enkoofiira ey’oku mutwe ey’ekyuma eky’ekikomo, n’ekivaalo eky’omu lutalo ekindi. 39Daudi yeesiba empiima ku kivaalo ekyo eky’omu lutalo, yaagezaaku okutambula aye nga taghanga, kuba yali tabimanhiriire. Agho yaakoba Saulo ati: “Tisobola kuja ni bino, kuba tibimanhiriire.” Era yaabyetoolamu. 40Agho Daudi yaagema omwigo gwe, yaalonda amabaale mu kaiga amaseene obukalamu ataanu, yaagata mu ndyanga ye ey’omwayi. Era yaagema n’ensuumulo ye, yaaseeta eri Omufilisiti.
Daudi aghangula Goliathi
41Omufilisiti yaidha ng’aseeta ye Daudi, ng’ali n’amugemera engabo amukulembeiremu. 42Omufilisiti bwe yalinga ati n’abona Daudi, yaamunhoomerera, kuba yali mwisuka bwisuka, ng’anhirira era ng’aboneka bulungi. 43Omufilisiti yaakoba Daudi ati: “Nze ondhese mbwa, memale ondhidhire n’emiigo obwigo.” Agho yakolimira Daudi mu liina ly’emisambwa gye. 44Era yaamukoba ati: “Kale idha ghano ghe ndi, omulambo gwo ndidha kugugabula enhonhi edh’omu ibbanga n’ensolo edh’omu nsiko.”
45Daudi yaakoba Omufilisiti ati: “Iwe oli kwidha ye ndi n’empiima, n’eifumo einene ghalala n’eifumo eitono, aye nze ndi kwidha mu liina lya Musengwa Katonda Afuga Amagye, era Katonda ow’amagye ga Isiraeli, g’osoononkereiza. 46Olwaleero luno Musengwa Katonda aidha kukuta mu ngalo dhange nkukube ghansi, era nkutemeku omutwe. Era emirambo egy’eigye ery’Abafilisiti nja kugigabula enhonhi edh’omu ibbanga n’ensolo edh’omu nsiko. Olwo ensi yoonayoona emanhe nga mu Isiraeli mulimu Katonda. 47Era olwo abantu bano boonaboona abeesoloiza ghano bamanhe nga Musengwa Katonda talokola na mpiima waire na ifumo kuba Musengwa Katonda ni mwene lutalo luno, era imwe aidha kubata mu ngalo dhaife tubaghangule.”
48Agho Omufilisiti bwe yaidha ng’aseeta ye Daudi, Daudi oyo yaalumuka mangu okuja y’ali okumulwanisa. 49Daudi yaagema mu ndyanga ye, yaatoolamu eibaale yaalita mu nsuumulo, yaalikonhoogerera Omufilisiti mu bweni. Eibaale eryo lyaingira mu kighanga ky’Omufilisiti oyo, yaagwa kya bweni.
50Kale Daudi yaaghangula Omufilisiti ng’akozesa nsuumulo na ibaale. Yaakuba Omufilisiti oyo yaamwita nga takozeisa mpiima naire.17:50: 2 Sam 21:19
Abafilisiti bwe baabona omulwani waibwe asinga boonaboona ng’afiire, baalumuka. 52Abalwani Abaisiraeli n’Abayudaaya baasituka nga bali kuleekaana, baabingirira Abafilisiti okutuukira irala e Gathi, ni ku miryango gya Ekuroni. Abafilisiti abaafumitibwa, baaja nga bagwa ku ngira okuva e Shaaraimu n’okutuukira irala e Gathi n’e Ekuroni. 53Abaisiraeli bwe baira nga bava okubingirira Abafilisiti, baanhaga ebintu mu kifo Abafilisiti abo ghe baasimba weema dhaibwe. 54Daudi yaatoola omutwe ogw’Omufilisiti oyo yaagutwala e Yerusalemu, aye ebivaalo eby’omu lutalo eby’Omufilisiti oyo yaabita mu weema eyiye mwene.
Daudi bamwandhulayo ye Saulo
55Saulo bwe yabona Daudi ng’ali kuja okulwanisa Omufilisiti, yaabuuza Abuneri omuduumizi w’eigye ati: “Abuneri, omwisuka oyo mutabane w’ani?”
Abuneri yaamwiramu ati: “Isebantu kyabazinga, ndayira mu maiso go nti tiidhi naire.”
56Kyabazinga yaakoba Abuneri ati: “Ja obuulirize ise w’omwisuka oyo.”
57Kale Daudi bwe yaira ng’amaze okwita omufilisiti, Abuneri yaamutwala eri Saulo, nga Daudi oyo agemye mu ngalo dhe omutwe ogw’Omufilisiti. 58Saulo yaamubuuza ati: “Omwisuka iwe, oli mutabane w’ani.”
Daudi yaamwiramu ati: “Nze ndi mutabane w’omugheereza wo Yesse Omubethelehemu.”
