1 Samuel 16
1 The Lord asked Samuel, “How long are you going to continue to mourn over Saul because I have rejected him as king of Israel? Fill your flask with olive oil and go. I'm sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen a king for myself from among his sons.”
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne, Nama'agna Solinkura kasunkura nehane? Israeli vahe kinima mani'neana hago Nagra azeri atre'noe. Hagi pazivepi olivi masavena taginka e'nerinka, Betlehemu Jesi nagatega vuo. Na'ankure Nagra agri mofavre nagapinti mago'mofo kinia manigahie hu'na huhamprinte'noe.
2 “How can I go and do that?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear about it and kill me!” The Lord answered, “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I've come to sacrifice to the Lord.’
Anage higeno Samueli'a huno, Soli'a nahe frigahianki nagra inankna hu'na vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Anenta onte'ne'nia a' bulimakao mago avrenenka vunka, Ra Anumzamofontega kresramana vuku neoe hunka ome huo.
3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you have to do. Anoint for me the one I tell you to.”
Hagi ome kre sramanama vanantera Jesina hugeno ena, Nagri eri'zama erisia mofavre'a kaveri ha'nena masavena taginka frentenka huhamprinto.
4 Samuel did what the Lord had told him to and went to Bethlehem. When the town elders met him, they were afraid and asked him, “Do you come in peace?”
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia kante anteno Samueli'a Betlehemu nevige'za, ana kumate kva vahe'mo'za tutagiha'ma hunente'za antri nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Kagra tarimpa fru naneke erinka neano?
5 “Yes, I come in peace,” he replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” He purified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
Anage hu'za antahigazageno Samueli'a huno, izo nagra Ra Anumzamofontega kresramana vuntenaku neoe. Hagi tamagra'a tamazeri agru nehuta, nagrane enketa kresramana vamaneno, nehuno Samueli'a Jesine mofavrezaga'a zamazeri agru nehuno zamagi hige'za kresramna vutera e'naze.
6 When they arrived and Samuel saw Eliab, he said to himself, “This has got to be the Lord's anointed!”
Hagi anama hute'za Jesi'ene mofavre naga'ama azageno'a, kotamofo Eliabuma negeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a tamage huno amamofo huhamprine huno Samueli'a antahi'ne.
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don't look at his outward appearance or how tall he is because I have rejected him, for the Lord does not look as human beings do. Human beings only see with their eyes what's on the outside, but the Lord looks at the way people think deep inside.”
Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne, Amega avufgare'ene za'za'ma huno hentofazama hu'nenia zantera, kenka huhampri onto. Na'ankure nagra agrira huhampri onte'noe. Hagi Nagra vahe'ma huhamprima nezmantoana, vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'na amega zmavufgarera nege'na hunohampruanki, zamagu'are nege'na hunehamprue.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him come before Samuel, who said, “The Lord hasn't chosen this one either.”
Anage higeno Jesi'a anante'mofo Aminadapu huntegeno Samueli avuga e'ne. Hianagi Samueli'a huno, Amamofonena Ra Anumzamo'a huhampri onte'ne.
9 Then Jesse had Shammah come forward. But Samuel said, “The Lord hasn't chosen this one either.”
Anage higeno Jesi'a mago mofavre'a Sama huntegeno Samueli avuga e'neanagi Samueli'a huno, amamofonena Ra Anumzamo'a huhampri onte'ne.
10 Jesse had seven of his sons come before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
Higeno Jesi'a 7ni'a mofavre zaga'a kea hige'za Samueli avuga e'nazanagi Samueli'a Jesina asamino, Ra Anumzamo'a ama anampintira mago'mofona huhampri onte'ne.
11 So he asked Jesse, “Don't you have any more sons?” “Well, there's still the youngest,” Jesse replied, “but he is out looking after the sheep.” “Send for him and bring him here because we will not sit down and eat until he gets here,” Samuel told Jesse.
Hagi anante Samueli'a Jesina anage huno antahige'ne, Ama'age mofavreka'a mani'nafi mago'a omani'nazo? Huno antahigegeno Jesi'a huno, magora amitena mofavrea mani'neanagi sipisipi afu kva huno mani'ne huno asamigeno Samueli'a huno, Ne'zana one otiteta mani'nenunanki mago'a vahe huzamantege'za vu'za ome avre'za eho.
12 So Jesse sent for him and brought him in. He had a red complexion with beautiful eyes, and looked handsome. The Lord said, “Go and anoint him, for he's the one.”
Higeno vahera huzamantege'za vu'za ome avre'za azageno, ke'neana hentofa vahekino avurgamo rumsa huno anefa hu'ne. Anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, e'ina neki masavena taginka frenentenka huhamprinto.
13 Samuel took the flask of olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord came on David in power from that day on. Then Samuel left and returned to Ramah.
Ana higeno Samueli'a afuhe'mofo zamavufi ana pazive erino masavena tagino frenenteno huhamprinte'ne. Hagi ana knareti'ma e'neana Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a hanave'ane Devitintera emani'neno agrane maka kna manino e'ne. Hagi anama Samueli'a huteno'a ete Rama kuma'arega vu'ne.
14 The Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
Hagi anama hutegeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a Solina atreno vigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno Soli agu'afina efreno antahintahi'a azeri haviza nehigeno koro hu'ne.
15 Saul's servants told him, “It's definitely an evil spirit from God that's tormenting you.
Hagi Solina eri'za vahe'amo'za asami'za, Antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno kazeri haviza nehie.
16 Give us your servants here the order to find someone who is good at playing the harp so that when the evil spirit from God comes on you, he can play and you'll feel much better.”
Hagi rantimoka eri'za vahe'kama amama kavugama oti'nonana hurantegeta hapue nehaza zavenama ahe vaheku ome haketa avreta amneno. Hagi inanknarero Ra Anumzamo'ma havi avamu'ma huntesigeno ena ana vahe'mo'za zavena nehehanagenka knarera hugahane.
17 Saul gave the order to his servants, “Find me someone who is good at playing the harp and bring him to me.”
Higeno Soli'a eri'za vahe'a huzmanteno, Vuta hapu zavenama knare'ma hu'za nehesaza vahe ome haketa avreta eho.
18 One of the servants replied, “I know a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who is good at playing the harp. He is a brave man, a good fighter, well-spoken and handsome, and the Lord is with him.”
Higeno mago eri'za ne'mo'a kenona huno, Mago Betlehemu ne' Jesi nagapinti risera ke'noana knare huno hapue nehaza zavena nehege'na ke'noe. Hagi agra hentofa agi agonane nekino, koro osu harafa ne' mani'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a mani'ne.
19 Saul sent messengers to Jesse, telling him, “Send me your son David who takes care of the sheep.”
Anante Soli'a kato vahera huzmanteno, Jesina ome asaminkeno ne' mofavre'a Devitina huntenkeno sipisipi kvama huno mani'neregatira atreno nagritega eno.
20 So Jesse loaded a donkey with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
Higeno Jesi'a donki afu agumpi bretine, waini tintafenena erinenteno, mago agaho sipisipinena avrenenteno huzmantege'za Devitinena avre'za Solintega vu'naze.
21 David came to Saul and began working for him. Saul thought a great deal of him, and David became his armor-bearer.
Hagi Deviti'a Soli eri'za agafa huno emerigeno, Soli'a tusiza huno avesinentegeno, agra Solina hanko'ama eri eri'za vahe mani'ne.
22 Saul sent a message to Jesse, saying, “Please allow David to continue working for me because I am pleased with him.”
Hagi Soli'a Jesina ke atrenteno, Muse hugantoanki atregeno Deviti'a nagri eri'za vahe manino. Na'ankure agra knare huno eri'zana erige'na muse huntoe.
23 So whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take his harp and play, and Saul would gain relief and feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma havi avamu'ma huntegeno Solinte'ma egeno'a, Deviti'a hapu zavena'a erino eme nehegeno, Soli'a nentahino ete knare antahi'zana e'nerigeno, havi avamu'mo'a atreno nefre.
