Kings I 16
1 And the Lord said to Samuel, How long do you mourn for Saul, whereas I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and come, I will send you to Jessae, to Bethleem; for I have seen amongst his sons a king for me.
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Pehea la ka loihi o kou uwe ana ia Saula, no ka mea, ua haalele au ia ia, aole oia ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela? E hoopiha oe i kou pepeiaohao i ka aila, a e hele, e hoouna aku au ia oe io Iese la no Betelehema: no ka mea, ua wae iho au i alii no'u iwaena o kana mau keiki.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? whereas Saul will hear of it, and kill me: and the Lord said, Take a heifer in your hand and you shall say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
I aku la o Samuela, Pehea la wau e hele ai? ina lohe o Saula, e pepehi mai ia ia'u. Olelo mai la o Iehova, E lawe pu me oe i bipiwahine, a e i aku, Ua hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova.
3 And you shall call Jessae to the sacrifice, and I will make known to you what you shall do; and you shall anoint him whom I shall mention to you.
A e kahea aku oe ia Iese e hele i ka mohai, a e hoike aku au ia oe i kau mea e hana aku ai: a e poni iho oe no'u i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe.
4 And Samuel did all that the Lord told him; and he came to Bethleem: and the elders of the city were amazed at meeting him, and said, Do you come peaceably, you Seer?
A hana aku la o Samuela i ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, a hele aku la i Betelehema: a haalulu na lunakahiko o ke kulanakauhale i kona hiki ana mai, i mai la, I hele mai nei oe me ke aloha?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify yourselves, and rejoice with me this day: and he sanctified Jessae and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.
I aku la ia, Me ke aloha no: i hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova; e hoomaemae oukou ia oukou iho, a e hele pu mai me au i ka mohai. Hoomaemae aku la oia ia Iese a me kana mau keiki, a kahea aku la oia ia lakou i ka mohai.
6 And it came to pass when they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed [is] before him.
A i ko lakou hiki ana mai, nana aku oia ia Eliaba, i iho la, He oiaio imua o'u ka poni a Iehova.
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Mai nana oe i kona ano mawaho, aole hoi i ka loihi o kona kino; ua hoole aku au ia ia: no ka mea, aole ma ka mea a ke kanaka i ike; ke nana nei ke kanaka i na helehelena, aka, ke nana nei o Iehova i ka naau.
8 And Jessae called Aminadab, and he passed before Samuel: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
A kahea aku la o Iese ia Abinadaba, a hoike ia ia imua o Samuela. I mai la ia, Aole i wae mai o Iehova i keia.
9 And Jessae caused Sama to pass by: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
Hoike aku la o Iese ia Sama. I mai la ia, Aole o Iehova i wae mai i keia.
10 And Jessae caused his seven sons to pass before Samuel: and Samuel said, the Lord has not chosen these.
Hoike aku la o Iese i kana mau keikikane ehiku imua o Samuela. I mai la o Samuela ia Iese, Aole o Iehova i wae mai ia lakou nei.
11 And Samuel said to Jessae, Hast you no more sons? And Jessae said, [There is] yet a little one; behold, he tends the flock. And Samuel said to Jessae, Send and fetch him for we may not sit down till he comes.
Ninau aku la o Samuela ia Iese, O ka pau anei keia o na keiki? I mai la ia, O ka pokii wale no i koe, aia hoi, ke malama nei ia i na hipa. I aku la o Samuela ia Iese, E kii, a lawe mai ia ia: no ka mea, aole kakou e noho iho a hiki mai ia.
12 And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.
Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai ia ia. He ehu, he nani kona mau maka, he maikai ke nana aku. Olelo mai o Iehova, E ku ae oe, a e poni ia ia, no ka mea, oia no ia.
13 And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel arose, and departed to Armathaim.
Alaila lalau aku la o Samuela i ka pepeiaohao aila, a poni ia ia iwaena o kona mau hoahanau: a hiki mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna o Davida ia la, a ma ia hope aku. Ku ae la o Samuela, a hele aku ma Rama.
14 And the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
A haalele ka Uhane o Iehova ia Saula, a hikilele mai ka uhane ino maluna ona na Iehova mai.
15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments you.
I mai la na kauwa a Saula ia ia, Aia hoi, ano ua hiki wawe mai ka uhane ino i ou la na ke Akua mai.
16 Let now your servants speak before you, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp; and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon you and he shall play on his harp, that you shall be well, and he shall refresh you.
Ano, e ko makou haku, e olelo mai i kau mau kauwa imua ou, e imi lakou i kanaka akamai i ka hookani i ka lira: a i hiki mai ka uhane ino maluna ou na ke Akua mai; alaila oia e hookani ai me kona lima, a ola oe.
17 And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skilful player, and bring him to me.
I aku la o Saula i kana mau kauwa, Ano e imi oukou no'u i kanaka akamai i ka hookani, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
18 And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he understands playing [on the harp], and the man [is] prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man [is] handsome, and the Lord [is] with him.
Alaila olelo mai kekahi o na kauwa, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua ike au i kekahi keiki a Iese no Betelehema, ua akamai i ka hookani, a ua koa loa, a he kanaka kaua, a me ke akamai i ka olelo, a he helehelena maikai, a me ia no o Iehova.
19 And Saul sent messengers to Jessae, saying, Send to me your son David who is with your flock.
Hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele io Iese la, i aku la, E hoouna mai io'u nei ia Davida, i kau keiki, aia no ia me ka poe hipa.
20 And Jessae took a homer of bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.
Lawe ae la o Iese i ka hoki, me ka berena, a me ka hue waina, a me kahi keikikao, a hoouna aku la ma ka lima o Davida, kana keiki, io Saula la.
21 And David went in to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
Hele aku la o Davida io Saula la, a ku imua ona: a ua nui kona aloha mai ia ia: a lilo ia i mea halihali i kana mea kaua.
22 And Saul sent to Jessae, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.
Hoouna aku la o Saula io Iese la, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe, e ku o Davida imua o'u: no ka mea, ua loaa ia ia ke aloha imua o ko'u maka.
23 And it came to pass when the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took his harp, and played with his hand: and Saul was refreshed, and [it was] well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.
A i ka manawa i hiki mai ai ka uhane ino maluna o Saula na ke Akua mai, lalau aku la o Davida i ka lira, a hookani aku la me kona lima; a ua oluolu o Saula, a ua ola hoi, a haalele ka uhane ino ia ia.
