1 Samuel 16
1 Miingon si Yahweh kang Samuel, “Hangtod kanus-a ka man magsubo alang kang Saul tungod sa akong pagsalikway kaniya gikan sa pagkahari sa Israel? Pun-a ug lana ang budyong ug lakaw. Paadtoon ko ikaw kang Jesse sa Betlehem, kay nagpili ako ug hari alang kanako taliwala sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki.”
And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.
2 Miingon si Samuel, “Unsaon ko man pag-adto? Kon madunggan kini ni Saul, patyon niya ako.” Miingon si Yahweh, “Pagdala ug bayeng baka ug ingna, “Mianhi ako aron maghalad kang Yahweh.'
And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.
3 Dapita si Jesse sa pagtambong sa paghalad, ug ipakita ko kanimo kung unsa ang imong buhaton. Dihogi alang kanako ang tawo nga isulti ko kanimo.”
And send for Jesse to be present at the offering, and I will make clear to you what you are to do: and you are to put the holy oil on him whose name I give you.
4 Gibuhat ni Samuel ang gisulti ni Yahweh ug miadto sa Betlehem. Nangurog ang mga kadagkoan sa siyudad sa pagsugat nila kaniya ug miingon, “Mianhi ka ba sa kalinaw?”
And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?
5 Miingon siya, “Sa kalinaw; mianhi ako aron sa paghalad alang kang Yahweh. Magbalaan kamo sa inyong kaugalingon ug uban kanako aron maghalad.” Ug gibalaan niya si Jesse ug ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki ug gidapit sila aron sa pagtambong sa paghalad.
And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.
6 Sa pag-abot nila, nakakita siya kang Eliab ug naghunahuna siya nga ang gipili ni Yahweh mao na gayod ang nagbarog sa iyang atubangan.
Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.
7 Apan miingon si Yahweh kang Samuel, “Ayaw pagtan-aw sa iyang panagway, o sa iyang pamarug; tungod kay dili siya mao ang akong napilian. Kay si Yahweh wala magtan-aw sama sa nakita sa tawo; ang tawo nagtan-aw sa panagway, apan si Yahweh nagtan-aw sa kasingkasing.”
But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.
8 Unya gitawag ni Jesse si Abinadab ug gipaagi siya sa atubangan ni Samuel. Ug miingon si Samuel, “Dili usab siya maoy gipili ni Yahweh.”
Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
9 Unya gipaagi ni Jesse si Shamma. Ug miingon si Samuel, “Dili usab siya maoy gipili ni Yahweh.”
Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
10 Gipalabay ni Jesse ang pito niya ka mga anak nga lalaki sa atubangan ni Samuel. Ug miingon si Samuel kang Jesse, “Dili kini sila maoy gipili ni Yahweh.”
And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.
11 Unya miingon si Samuel kang Jesse, “Ania ba dinhi ang tanan mong mga anak nga lalaki? Mitubag siya, “Aduna pay kamanghuran, apan nag-atiman siya sa mga karnero.” Miingon si Samuel kang Jesse, “Pasugoi ug paanhia siya; kay dili kita manglingkod hangtod moabot siya dinhi.”
Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.
12 Gipakuha siya ni Jesse ug gipasulod. Karon kini nga anak nga lalaki pulapula, adunay nindot nga mga mata ug ambongan. Miingon si Yahweh, “Barog, dihogi siya; kay siya mao ang pinili.”
So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
13 Unya gikuha ni Samuel ang budyong nga may lana ug gidihogan siya taliwala sa iyang mga igsoong lalaki. Mikunsad dayon ang Espiritu ni Yahweh kang David sukad niadtong adlawa. Unya mibarog si Samuel ug miadto sa Rama.
Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
14 Karon gibiyaan na si Saul sa Espiritu ni Yahweh, ug gihasol na siya sa daotang espiritu nga gipadala ni Yahweh.
Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
15 Miingon ang sulugoon ni Saul kaniya, “Tan-awa, naghasol na kanimo ang daotang espiritu nga gipadala sa Dios.
And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16 Karon among agalon sugoa ang imong mga sulugoon nga ania sa imong atubangan sa pagpangita ug tawo nga maayong motugtug sa alpa. Unya kon samukon ka sa daotang espiritu nga gipadala sa Dios, tugtugon niya kini ug mamaayo ka.”
Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.
17 Miingon si Saul sa iyang mga sulugoon, “Pangitai ako ug tawo nga maayong motugtog ug dad-a siya dinhi kanako.”
And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.
18 Unya ang usa sa batan-ong tawo mitubag, ug miingon, “Nakita ko ang usa sa mga anak nga lalaki ni Jesse nga taga-Betlehem, nga batid sa pagtugtog, usa ka kusgan, usa ka tawo nga isog, usa ka tawo sa gubat, buotan sa pagpamulong, usa ka ambongan nga tawo; ug si Yahweh nag-uban kaniya.”
Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.
19 Busa nagpadala si Saul ug mensahero kang Jesse, ug miingon, “Paanhia ang imong anak nga lalaki nga si David, nga magbalantay sa mga karnero.”
So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
20 Nagkuha si Jesse ug usa ka asno nga gikargahan ug tinapay, usa ka sudlanan nga may bino, ug usa ka nating kanding, ug gipaadto sila uban ang iyang anak nga lalaki nga si David ngadto kang Saul.
And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
21 Unya miadto si David kang Saul ug mialagad kaniya. Nahigugma pag-ayo si Saul kaniya, ug nahimo siya nga tigdala sa iyang hinagiban.
And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms.
22 Nagpasugo si Saul kang Jesse nga nag-ingon, “Tugoti si Dvid nga moalagad kanako, kay nakakaplag siya ug kalooy sa akong panan-aw.”
And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.
23 Sa matag higayon nga hasolon si Saul sa daotang espiritu nga gipadala sa Dios, kuhaon ni David ang alpa ug tugtugon kini. Busa mahuwasan si Saul ug mamaayo, ug mopahawa gikan kaniya ang daotang espiritu.
And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
