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 among his sons a king for me.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele: Pak’ombia t’ie mbe handala i Saole kanao fa nadòko tsy ho mpanjaka’ Israele ka? lipolipò menake i tsifa’oy le akia, fa hiraheko mb’am’ Iisay nte-Betlekheme mb’eo fa nijoboñeko mpanjaka ho ahy ty raik’ amo ana’eo.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele, Akore ty handenàko mb’eo? ke ho rendre’ i Saole, hañohofa’e loza. Le hoe t’Iehovà. Andeso tamana vaho anò ty hoe: Pok’ atoy iraho hanao soroñe am’ Iehovà.
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.
Kanjio t’Iisay hiatrefa’e i soroñey, le hatoroko azo ze hanoe’o, vaho horiza’o ho ahy ty hitoñonako añarañe.
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?
Le nanoe’ i Samoele i tsinara’ Iehovày vaho niheo mb’e Betlekheme mb’eo. Le ninevenevetse amy fitotsaha’ey o androanavi’ i rovaio nanao ty hoe: An-kanintsiñe hao ty ivotraha’o atoy?
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.
Le hoe re, Fañanintsiñe, pok’ eo iraho hisoroñe amy Iehovà; mañefera vatañe, naho mindreza amako mb’ amy soroñey; le nefera’e ka t’Iisay naho o ana’eo vaho nambara’e homb’ amy soroñey.
6 And it came to pass when they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed [is] before him.
Ie nihirike, le nitalare’e t’i Eliabe, nitsakore ty hoe; Toe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo i horìza’ey.
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.
Fe hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele; Ko mandrèndreke ty lahara’e ndra ty haabo’ ty fijohaña’e, amy t’ie fa nadòko; toe tsy ami’ty fahaisaha’ ondatio ro ie, amy te mandrèndreke ty vinta’e alafe’e ondatio, vaho mandrendrek’ arofo t’Iehovà.
8 And Jessae called Aminadab, and he passed before Samuel: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
Kinanji’ Iisay t’i Abinadabe vaho nampiarie’e añatrefa’ i Samoele. Fa hoe re, Tsy jinobo’ Iehovà toke.
9 And Jessae caused Sama to pass by: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
Nampiarie’ Iisay ama’e ka t’i Samà, fa hoe re, toe tsy jinobo’ Iehovà ka toke.
10 And Jessae caused his seven sons to pass before Samuel: and Samuel said, the Lord has not chosen these.
Aa le nampiarie’ Iisay añatrefa’ i Samoele ty ana-dahi’e fito, fa hoe t’i Samoele am’ Iisay, Tsy jinobo’ Iehovà o retoañe.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’Iisay, Etoañ’ iaby hao o ana’oo? le hoe re: Mbe añe ty tsitso’e; toe miarak’ añondry. Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ Iisay: Ampañitrifo; fa tsy hivory tika ampara’ t’ie pok’eo.
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.
Aa le nampañitrife’e naho nampizilihe’e. Volovoloen-dre, niloeloe o maso’eo naho naràm-bintañe; vaho hoe t’Iehovà: Miongaha orizo, ie toke.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ i Samoele i tsifa ama’ menakey naho noriza’e añivo’ o longo’eo; vaho namparingatse i Davide henane zay ty Arofo’ Iehovà. Le niongake t’i Samoele nimb’ e Ramà mb’eo.
14 And the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
Ie amy zao, fa nienga i Saole ty Arofo’ Iehovà, vaho nañangara’ ty fañahy raty boak’ am’ Iehovà.
15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments you.
Le hoe o mpitoro’ i Saoleo ama’e: Eo hey, toe fañahy raty boak’ aman’ Añahare ty mañangatse azo henaneo;
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.
ee te hafanto’ i talè’ay henaneo o mpitoro’e miatrek’ azeo, ty hitsoeke mpititike maro-taly mahimbañe; aa ie mañangats’ ama’o i fañahy raty boak’ aman’ Añaharey, le hititiha’e am-pità’e, hampanintsiñ’ azo.
17 And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skillful player, and bring him to me.
Le hoe t’i Saole amo mpitoro’eo: Paiao ho ahy henaneo t’indaty mahafititike, le endeso mb’amako mb’etoa.
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.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ ty ajalahy, Inao, nitrea’ay ty ana’ Iisay nte-Betlekheme, mpititike mahay, ie fanalolahy naho lahindefoñe, mahity am-pitoloñañe, ondaty soa vintañe vaho ama’e t’Iehovà.
19 And Saul sent messengers to Jessae, saying, Send to me your son David who is with your flock.
Aa le nahitri’ i Saole am’Iisay ty hoe: Iraho mb’ amako mb’etoa i Davide ana’o mpiarak’ añondriy.
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.
Le nandrambe borìke t’Iisay naho nampilogologoe’e mofo naho ty zonjòn-divay naho ty vik’ose vaho nampihitrife’e mb’ amy Saole mb’eo añamy Davide, ana’e.
21 And David went in to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor-bearer.
Nimb’ amy Saole mb’eo t’i Davide naho nijohañe añatrefa’e; le vata’e nikokoa’e; vaho nanoe’e mpinday ty fikala’e.
22 And Saul sent to Jessae, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.
Le nahitri’ i Saole am’ Iisay ty hoe: Ehe, iantofo te hijohañe añatrefako t’i Davide, ie nanjo fañisohañe am-pahatreavako.
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.
Aa ndra mb’ia nañangaram-pañahy boak’ aman’ Añahare t’i Saole le rinambe’ i Davide i marovaniy naho nititihe’e am-pità’e; le nitotòtse t’i Saole, vaho nanintsiñe fa nisitak’ ama’e i anga-dratiy.
