Pea naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “ʻE tuku ʻafē ʻa hoʻo tēngihia ʻa Saula; he kuo u liʻaki ia ke ʻoua naʻa pule ia ki ʻIsileli? fakafonu haʻo nifoʻi manu ʻi he lolo, pea ke ʻalu, te u fekau koe kia Sese ko e tangata Petelihema: he kuo u teuteu ha tuʻi mei hono ngaahi foha.
2 Tedae Samuel loh, “Metlam ka caeh eh? Saul loh a yaak vetih kai n'ngawn ni ta,” a ti nah. BOEIPA loh, “Saelhung khuikah vaitola te na kut dongah khuen lamtah, 'BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla ka pawk coeng,” ti nah.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa ʻalu? Kapau ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Saula te ne tāmateʻi au.” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “ʻAve ha pulu fefine mo koe, pea ke pehē, kuo u haʻu ke feilaulau kia Sihova.
3 Tedae, “Hmueih vaengah Jesse te khue lamtah na saii ham te kai loh kan tueng vetih nang taengah, 'Anih ka ti,’ te kai ham hang koelh,” a ti nah.
Pea ke ui ʻa Sese ki he feilaulau, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia te ke fai: pea ke pani maʻaku ʻaia te u lau kiate koe.”
4 BOEIPA loh a thui te Samuel loh a saii tih Bethlehem a pha hatah anih doe ham te khopuei ka a hamca rhoek lakueng uh tih, “Sading la na pawk dae a?,” a ti na uh.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Samuela ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova. Pea naʻe tetetete ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ke haʻu melino pe?”
5 Te dongah, “BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla sading la ka pawk coeng. Ciim uh lamtah hmueih ah kai taengla halo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Jesse neh a ca rhoek te a ciim tih amih te hmueih ah a khue.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou haʻu melino pē: kuo u haʻu ke fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova: fakatapui ʻakimoutolu, pea mou haʻu mo au ki he feilaulau.” Pea naʻa ne fakatapui ʻa Sese mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ne ui ʻakinautolu ki he feilaulau.
6 A pha vaengah Eliab te a hmuh hatah, “BOEIPA hmaiah amah kah a koelh pawn maco he,” a ti.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe sio ia kia Iliape, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ta ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ni ʻo Sihova ʻaia kuo ne pani.”
7 Tedae BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A mueimae neh a song a sang te paelki boeh. Hlang kah a hmuh bangla a hmuh pawt dongah anih te a hnawt pah. Hlang loh a suisak te a hmuh dae BOEIPA loh a thinko ni a. hmuh,” a ti nah.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Samuela, “ʻOua naʻa ke mamata ki hono mata, pea ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono sino; he kuo u liʻaki ia: he ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ko e mamata ʻae tangata; he ʻoku sio ʻae tangata ki he anga ʻoku hā ʻituʻa, ka ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae loto.”
8 Te dongah Jesse loh Abinadab te a khue tih Samuel mikhmuh ah a thak hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
Hili ia naʻe ui ʻe Sese ke haʻu ʻa ʻApinatapi, ke ne ʻalu ange ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela. Pea naʻa ne pehē, ʻOku ʻikai fili ia foki ʻe Sihova.
9 Te phoeiah Jesse loh Shammah te athawt hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sese ke ʻalu ange ʻa Sama. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai fili foki ia ʻe Sihova.”
10 Jesse loh a parhih ca te Samuel hmai ah a thawt coeng dae Jesse te Samuel loh, “Amih te BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Sese ke ʻalu ange hono foha ʻe toko fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Samuela. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “ʻOku ʻikai fili ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu.”
11 Te dongah Jesse te Samuel loh, “Camoe rhoek te boeih pawn a?” a ti nah. Tedae, “A noe om pueng dae boiva la a luem puei ke,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Samuel loh Jesse te, “Hlang tueih lamtah anih te loh sak, anih hela ha pawk duela mael uh boel dae sih,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “ʻOku ʻi heni hoʻo fānau kotoa pē?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku kei toe ʻae kimui, pea vakai, ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae fanga sipi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Sese, “Fekau ke ʻomi ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te tau nofo ki lalo kaeʻoua ke haʻu ia.”
12 A tah tih ha pawk vaengah anih a lingphung la sakthen mik neh mueihmuh khaw then. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Thoo lamtah anih he BOEIPA amah ham koelh laeh,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia, ke ʻomi ia ki loto. Pea naʻe totototo mo e toulekeleka hono mata, ʻo matamatalelei ʻene hā mai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo pani ia; he ko eni ia.”
13 Te daengah Samuel loh situi ki te a loh tih a manuca rhoek kah lakli ah David te a koelh. Te dongah te khohnin lamlong tah BOEIPA kah Mueihla loh David te sarhi a tak tih a so la cungphoek hang. Te phoeiah Samuel te thoo tih Ramah la cet.
Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Samuela ʻae nifoʻi manu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae lolo, ʻo ne pani ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi kāinga; pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kia Tevita talu mei he ʻaho ko ia. Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Samuela ʻo ʻalu ki Lama.
14 Tahae ah BOEIPA kah Mueihla tah Saul taeng lamloh nong coeng tih BOEIPA lamkah mueihla thae loh anih te a let sak coeng.
Ka naʻe mahuʻi ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meia Saula, pea naʻe fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he laumālie kovi meia Sihova.
15 Te dongah Saul te a sal rhoek loh, “Pathen kah mueihla thae loh nang n'let sak coeng he.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ko e laumālie kovi mei he ʻOtua ʻoku ne fakamamahiʻi koe.
16 Na mikhmuh kah na sal rhoek taengah ka boeipa loh thui lamtah rhotoeng tum aka ming hlang pakhat te tlam uh saeh. Te daengah ni Pathen kah mueihla thae te nang soah a om a om vaengah a kut neh rhotoeng te a tum vetih nang ham a then eh?,” a ti na uh.
Ke fekau mai ni ʻe homau ʻeiki ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao, ke kumi ha tangata ʻoku poto ʻi he tā ʻoe haʻape: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻiate koe ʻae laumālie kovi mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻe tā ʻe ia ʻaki hono nima, pea te ke moʻui ai.”
17 Te dongah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “Kai hamla a tum aka then hlang te so lamtah kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Ko eni, mou kumi leva ni ha tangata ʻoku poto ʻi he tā meʻa faiva pea ʻomi ia kiate au.”
18 Te vaengah camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat loh a doo tih, “Bethlehem Jesse capa te ka hmuh dae ta. Anih loh a tum thai tih tatthai hlangrhalh, caemtloek hlang, olka aka yakming, a suisak neh aka om hlang la om tih anih te BOEIPA loh a om puei bal,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe tokotaha, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻaku mamata ki he foha ʻo Sese ko e tangata Petelihema, ʻaia ʻoku poto ʻi he tā, pea ko e tangata toʻa ʻaupito ia, mo e tangata tau, pea ʻoku anga fakapotopoto, pea ko e tangata matamatalelei, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova.”
19 Saul loh Jesse taengla puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih, “Na capa David, boiva taengah aka om te kai taengla han tueih dae,” a ti nah.
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Saula ʻae kau talafekau kia Sese, ʻo pehē, “Tuku mai ho foha ko Tevita, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fanga sipi, ke haʻu kiate au.”
20 Te dongah Jesse loh laak, vaidam, misur tuitang, maae ca pakhat te a loh tih a capa David kut dongah Saul taengla a pat.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Sese ʻae ʻasi naʻe tauloto mā, mo e hina uaine, mo e ʻuhikiʻi sipi, ʻo ne ʻatu ia kia Saula ʻi he nima ʻo hono foha ko Tevita.
21 David te Saul taengla a pawk vaengah a mikhmuh ah pai. Te vaengah anih te bahoeng a lungnah dongah anih kah hnopai phuei la pahoi a om sak.
Pea naʻe hoko ange ʻa Tevita kia Saula, ʻo tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻe ʻofa lahi ia kiate ia; pea hoko ia ko hono hoa tau.
22 Te phoeiah Saul loh Jesse taengla hlang a tueih tih, “David he ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithen a dang coeng dongah ka mikhmuh ah om saeh,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Saula kia Sese, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku mai ʻa Tevita ke nofo ia ʻi hoku ʻao; he ʻoku ou leleiʻia ai au.”
23 Pathen kah mueihla loh Saul te a pha tih a om thil takuem vaengah, David loh rhotoeng a loh tih a kut neh a tum pah. Te vaengah Saul dongkah mueihla thae a nong dongah amah khaw hoengpoek tih a then pah.
Pea ʻi he hoko kia Saula ʻae laumālie mei he ʻOtua, pea pehē, naʻe toʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae haʻape ʻo ne tā ʻaki ia hono nima: pea naʻe fakafiemālie ai ʻa Saula, pea moʻui ai, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie kovi.
