1 Samuel 16
1 And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.
Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Yóò ha ti pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò máa dárò Saulu, nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé mo ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli? Rọ òróró kún inú ìwo rẹ, kí o sì mú ọ̀nà rẹ pọ̀n, Èmi rán ọ sí Jese ará Bẹtilẹhẹmu. Èmi ti yan ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba.”
2 And Samuel said, How shall I go? if Saul hear [it], he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Báwo ni èmi yóò ṣe lọ? Bí Saulu bá gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, yóò pa mi.” Olúwa wí pé, “Mú abo ẹgbọrọ màlúù kan pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí o sì wí pé, ‘Èmi wá láti wá rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa.’
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will tell thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
Pe Jese wá sí ibi ìrúbọ náà, Èmi yóò sì fi ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe hàn ọ́. Ìwọ yóò fi òróró yàn fún mi, ẹni tí èmi bá fihàn ọ́.”
4 And Samuel did what Jehovah said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably?
Samuẹli ṣe ohun tí Olúwa sọ. Nígbà tí ó dé Bẹtilẹhẹmu, àyà gbogbo àgbàgbà ìlú já, nígbà tí wọ́n pàdé rẹ̀. Wọ́n béèrè pé, “Ṣé àlàáfíà ní ìwọ bá wá?”
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Hallow yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he hallowed Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
Samuẹli sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àlàáfíà ni; mo wá láti wá rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa. Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́, kí ẹ sì wá rú ẹbọ pẹ̀lú mi.” Nígbà náà ni ó sì ya Jese sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì pè wọ́n wá sí ibi ìrúbọ náà.
6 And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé, Samuẹli rí Eliabu, ó rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé lóòótọ́ ẹni òróró Olúwa dúró níbí níwájú Olúwa.
7 But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Má ṣe wo ti ìrísí rẹ̀ tàbí ti gíga rẹ̀, nítorí èmi ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Olúwa kì í wo ohun tí ènìyàn máa ń wò. Ènìyàn máa ń wo òde ara ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa máa ń wo ọkàn.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
Nígbà náà ni Jese pe Abinadabu, ó sì jẹ́ kí ó rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli. Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Olúwa kò yan ẹni yìí.”
9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
Jese sì jẹ́ kí Ṣamma rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli, ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Olúwa kò yan ẹni yìí náà.”
10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these.
Jese jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ méje rìn kọjá ní iwájú Samuẹli ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli sọ fún un pé, “Olúwa kò yan àwọn wọ̀nyí.”
11 And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither.
Nígbà náà ni ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jese pé, “Ṣé èyí ni gbogbo àwọn ọmọ rẹ?” Jese dáhùn pé, “Ó ku àbíkẹ́yìn wọn, ó ń tọ́jú agbo àgùntàn.” Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Rán ìránṣẹ́ lọ pè é wá; àwa kò ní jókòó títí òun yóò fi dé.”
12 And he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy, and besides of a lovely countenance and beautiful appearance. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.
Ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí i, wọ́n sì mú un wọlé wá, ó jẹ́ ẹni tó mọ́ra, àwọ̀ ara rẹ̀ dùn ún wò, ó jẹ́ arẹwà gidigidi. Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Dìde kí o sì fi òróró yàn án, òun ni ẹni náà.”
13 And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli mú ìwo òróró, ó sì ta á sí i ní orí ní iwájú àwọn ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀, láti ọjọ́ náà lọ, Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ Olúwa wá sí orí Dafidi nínú agbára. Samuẹli sì lọ sí Rama.
14 And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him.
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀mí Olúwa ti kúrò lára Saulu, ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa sì ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu.
15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles thee.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Saulu sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá ń yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu.
16 Let our lord now speak; thy servants are before thee: they shall seek out a man, a skilful player on a harp; and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
Jẹ́ kí olúwa wa pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó wà níhìn-ín láti wa ẹnìkan tí ó lè fi dùùrù kọrin. Yóò sì ṣe é nígbà tí ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run bá bà lé ọ, ìwọ yóò sì sàn.”
17 And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ wá ẹnìkan tí ó lè kọrin dáradára kí ẹ sì mú u wá fún mi.”
18 And one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing, and he is a valiant man and a man of war, and skilled in speech, and of good presence, and Jehovah is with him.
Ọ̀kan nínú ìránṣẹ́ náà dáhùn pé, “Èmi ti ri ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Jese ti Bẹtilẹhẹmu tí ó mọ orin kọ, ó jẹ́ alágbára àti ológun. Ó ní ọgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ òun sì dára ní wíwò. Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀.”
19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
Saulu sì rán oníṣẹ́ sí Jese wí pé, “Rán Dafidi ọmọ rẹ sí mi, ẹni tí ó ń ṣọ́ àgùntàn.”
20 And Jesse took an ass with bread, and a flask of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son to Saul.
Jese sì mú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ti a di ẹrù lé àti ìgò ọtí wáìnì àti ọmọ ewúrẹ́; ó sì rán wọn nípa ọwọ́ Dafidi ọmọ rẹ̀ sí Saulu.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
Dafidi sì tọ Saulu lọ, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀, òun sì fẹ́ ẹ gidigidi, Dafidi sì wá di ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu ránṣẹ́ sí Jese pé, “Jẹ́ kí Dafidi dúró níwájú mi, nítorí tí ó wù mí.”
23 And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand; and Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ẹ̀mí búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá bá dé sí Saulu, Dafidi a sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kọrin lára dùùrù: a sì san fún Saulu, ara rẹ̀ a sì dá; ẹ̀mí búburú náà a sì fi sílẹ̀.
