1 Sa:miuele 16
1 Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i, “Di da habowali seda Solo ea hou dawa: beba: le da: i dione fofaginanoma: bela: ? E da Isala: ili dunu ilima hina bagade bu mae esaloma: ne, Na da ea logo hedofai dagoi. Be wali di olife susuligi lale, Bedeleheme moilaiga dunu ea dio amo Yesi ea diasuga masa. Bai Na da egefe afae Isala: ili hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi.
And the Lord said to Samuel: “How long will you mourn for Saul, though I have rejected him, so that he would not reign over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and approach, so that I may send you to Jesse of Bethlehem. For I have provided a king from among his sons for myself.”
2 Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Na da agoane habodane hamoma: bela: ? Solo da amo nabasea, ea da na fane legemu!” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Di da bulamagau mano gaguli asili, amo Hina Godema gobele salimusa: misi sia: ma.
And Samuel said: “How shall I go? For Saul will hear of it, and he will put me to death.” And the Lord said: “You shall take, by your hand, a calf from the herd. And you shall say, ‘I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord.’
3 Amo gobele salabe amoga Yesi misa: ne sia: ne, amola Na da dima agoane hamoma: ya adomu. Di da dunu Na dima adomu, amo hina bagade hamoma: ne susuligi sogagala: le ilegema!”
And you shall call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will reveal to you what you should do. And you shall anoint whomever I will indicate to you.”
4 Sa: miuele da Hina Gode Ea adoi defele hamoi. E da Bedeleheme moilaiga asili, moilai ouligisu dunu da beda: ga yagugusa ema misini, amane adole ba: i, “Ba: la: lusu! Di da olofomusa: sofe misibala: ?”
Therefore, Samuel did just as the Lord told him. And he went to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city wondered. And meeting him, they said, “Is your arrival peaceful?”
5 “Ma!” e da adole i. “Na da Hina Godema gobele salimusa: misi. Dilia ledo dodofelalu, nini masunu.” Amola Yesi amola egefe ilia ledo dodofelalu, amo gobele salabe amoga misa: ne sia: i.
And he said: “It is peaceful. I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord. Be sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.
6 Ilia da doaga: beba: le, Sa: miuele da Yesi egefe Ilaia: be ba: i. Hisu amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da Hina Gode ba: ma: ne lela. Dafawane ewane Hina Gode da ilegei dagoi.”
And when they had entered, he saw Eliab, and he said, “Could he be the Christ in the sight of the Lord?”
7 Be Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “E goi sedade amola ayeligi noga: i ba: sa amo mae dawa: ma. Na da amo dunu hame ilegei. Bai Na da dunu ilia asigi dawa: suga ilegebe agoane, hame ilegesa. Osobo bagade dunu da dabuagado hou, amo ba: lu ilegesa. Be Na da dunu ea dogo ganodini ba: lu, ilegesa.”
And the Lord said to Samuel: “You should not look with favor on his face, nor on the height of his stature. For I have rejected him. Neither do I judge by the appearance of a man. For man sees those things that are apparent, but the Lord beholds the heart.”
8 Amalalu, Yesi da egefe eno Abinada: be wele sia: ne, amo Sa: miuelema oule misi. Be Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Go hame! Hina Gode da goma hame ilegei.”
And Jesse called Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
9 Amalalu, Yesi da egefe eno amo Siama oule misi. Be Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Hame! Hina Gode da goma amolawane hame ilegei.”
Then Jesse brought Shammah. And he said about him, “And the Lord has not chosen this one.”
10 Amanemusu hamonana, Yesi da egefe fesuale amo huluane Sa: miuelema oule misi. Amola Sa: miuele da ema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da golalima afae hame ilegei.”
And so Jesse brought his seven sons before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
11 Amalalu, e da Yesima adole ba: i, “Di da mano eno ganabela: ?” Yesi da bu adole i, “Na da mano afae ufidafa gala. Be e da eno sogega sibi ouligilala.” Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “E goeguda: misa: ne sia: ma. E da goeguda: doaga: sea fawane, ninia da Godema gobele salasu imunu.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Could the sons now be completed?” But he responded, “There still remains a little one, and he pastures the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse: “Send and bring him. For we shall not recline to eat, until he arrives here.”
12 Amaiba: le, Yesi da amo mano lala misa: ne sia: si. Amo goi da manebe ba: loba, e da goi ayeligi da: da: loi amola ela: menesi goi ba: i, amola ea si da nenemeginisi ba: i. Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i, “Goefa galu! Ema ilegelesima!”
Therefore, he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy, and beautiful to behold, and with a stately face. And the Lord said, “Rise up, anoint him! For it is he.”
13 Sa: miuele da olife susuligi lale, Da: ibidi yolalali ilia midadi amo Da: ibidima unasi. Amo galuwane, Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Da: ibidi ea da: iga aligila sa: ili, amola ela gilisi amo esoha amola amoinini amoga esalusu. Amalu, Sa: miuele da La: imaga buhagi.
Therefore, Samuel took the horn of oil, and he anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord was guiding David from that day and thereafter. And Samuel rose up, and he went away to Ramah.
14 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da Solo yolesili amola Hina Gode da wadela: i a: silibu Soloma asunasi. Amoga se nababeba: le, Solo da bagadewane gagaba: gilalu.
But the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from Saul, and a wicked spirit from the Lord disturbed him.
15 Solo ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia dawa: , Hina Gode da wadela: i a: silibu dima asunasi, amola amoga di da se nabane gagaba: gilalu.
And the servants of Saul said to him: “Behold, an evil spirit from God disturbs you.
16 Amaiba: le, hina! Dia da ninima sia: sea, ninia da sani baidama dusu dawa: dunu hogomu. Amasea, wadela: i a: silibu da dima masea, amo dunu da sani baidama dunigala: mu, amasea di da bu noga: mu.”
May our lord order, and your servants, who are before you, will seek a man skillful in playing a stringed instrument, so that when the evil spirit from the Lord assails you, he may play with his hand, and you may bear it more easily.”
17 Solo da amane sia: i, “Defea! Dunu amo da sani baidama noga: le dubi hogole, nama oule misa.”
And Saul said to his servants, “Then provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me.”
18 Solo ea hawa: hamosu dunu afae da amane sia: i “Bedeleheme moilaiga Yesi egefe afae da sani baidama dusu bagade dawa: E da gasa bagade amola ayeligi dunu. E da dadi gagui dunu noga: i amola sia: sia: mu defele esala. Hina Gode da ela esala.”
And one of the servants, responding, said: “Behold, I have seen the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, a skillful player, and very strong and robust, a man fit for war, and prudent in words, a handsome man. And the Lord is with him.”
19 Amaiba: le, Solo da Yesima sia: agoane sia: na masa: ne dunu asunasi, “Yesi! Dia mano Da: ibidi amo sibi ouligilalebe, go nama misa: ne asunasima.”
Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, “Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures.”
20 Yesi da Da: ibidima goudi mano afae amola dougi afae (amo da: iya agi gobei lidili legele) amola waini hano bulamagau gadofo dabaga sali afae amo huluane iasisili, Soloma masa: ne, asunasi.
And so, Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid from one of the goats, and he sent them, by the hand of his son David, to Saul.
21 Da: ibidi da Soloma misini doaga: le, ea hawa: hamosu amo hamonanu. Solo da Da: ibidima bagadewane dogolegei. E da Da: ibidi amo ea gegesu liligi gaguli ahoasu dunu hamoma: ne ilegei.
And David went to Saul, and stood before him. And he loved him exceedingly, and he made him his armor bearer.
22 Amalalu, Solo da Yesima sia: amane sia: si, “Na da Da: ibidima dogolegei. E da na hawa: hamosu ganodini esaloma: ma.”
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: “Let David remain before my sight. For he has found favor in my eyes.”
23 Amogainini, Gode Ea da wadela: i a: silibu amo Soloma asunasi, amo mabe ba: loba, Da: ibidi da ea sani baidama lale, dusu. Amalalu, wadela: i a: silibu da Solo yolesili, e da bu noga: le, amola defea hamosu.
And so, whenever the evil spirit from the Lord assailed Saul, David took up his stringed instrument, and he struck it with his hand, and Saul was refreshed and uplifted. For the evil spirit withdrew from him.
