1 Samuel 16
1 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.”
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.”
2 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.’
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.'
3 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.”
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.”
4 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?”
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?”
5 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.
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.
6 And when they had entered, he saw Eliab, and he said, “Could he be the Christ in the sight of the Lord?”
Sa pag-abot nila, nakakita siya kang Eliab ug naghunahuna siya nga ang gipili ni Yahweh mao na gayod ang nagbarog sa iyang atubangan.
7 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.”
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.”
8 And Jesse called Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
Unya gitawag ni Jesse si Abinadab ug gipaagi siya sa atubangan ni Samuel. Ug miingon si Samuel, “Dili usab siya maoy gipili ni Yahweh.”
9 Then Jesse brought Shammah. And he said about him, “And the Lord has not chosen this one.”
Unya gipaagi ni Jesse si Shamma. Ug miingon si Samuel, “Dili usab siya maoy gipili ni Yahweh.”
10 And so Jesse brought his seven sons before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
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.”
11 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.”
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.”
12 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.”
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.”
13 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.
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.
14 But the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from Saul, and a wicked spirit from the Lord disturbed him.
Karon gibiyaan na si Saul sa Espiritu ni Yahweh, ug gihasol na siya sa daotang espiritu nga gipadala ni Yahweh.
15 And the servants of Saul said to him: “Behold, an evil spirit from God disturbs you.
Miingon ang sulugoon ni Saul kaniya, “Tan-awa, naghasol na kanimo ang daotang espiritu nga gipadala sa Dios.
16 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.”
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.”
17 And Saul said to his servants, “Then provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me.”
Miingon si Saul sa iyang mga sulugoon, “Pangitai ako ug tawo nga maayong motugtog ug dad-a siya dinhi kanako.”
18 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.”
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.”
19 Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, “Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures.”
Busa nagpadala si Saul ug mensahero kang Jesse, ug miingon, “Paanhia ang imong anak nga lalaki nga si David, nga magbalantay sa mga karnero.”
20 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.
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.
21 And David went to Saul, and stood before him. And he loved him exceedingly, and he made him his armor bearer.
Unya miadto si David kang Saul ug mialagad kaniya. Nahigugma pag-ayo si Saul kaniya, ug nahimo siya nga tigdala sa iyang hinagiban.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: “Let David remain before my sight. For he has found favor in my eyes.”
Nagpasugo si Saul kang Jesse nga nag-ingon, “Tugoti si Dvid nga moalagad kanako, kay nakakaplag siya ug kalooy sa akong panan-aw.”
23 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.
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.
