1 Samuel 16
1 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Kom ac asor kacl Saul nwe ngac? Nga eisalla tari liki wal lun tokosra lun Israel. Inge eis kutu oil in olive ac som nu Bethlehem nu yurin mwet se pangpang Jesse, mweyen nga sulela sie sin wen natul tuh elan tokosra.”
2 And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;
Ac Samuel el siyuk, “Nga ac oru fuka? Saul el fin lohngak el ac uniyuwi!” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Eis soko cow fusr, ac kom fah fahk mu kom tuku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
3 and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”
Kom fah solal Jesse nu ke kisa uh, ac nga ac fah fahk ma kom in oru. Kom ac fah mosrwela mwet se nga ac fahk nu sum uh tuh elan tokosra.”
4 And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”
Samuel el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ac el som nu Bethlehem. Mwet kol in siti sac elos rarrar ke elos tuku in osun nu sel Samuel, ac elos siyuk sel, “Ku tuku se lom inge tuku ke misla?”
5 And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Aok, nga tuku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD. Kowos sifacna aknasnasye kowos, ac fahsru wiyu.” El oayapa fahk nu sel Jesse ac wen ekasr natul elos in aknasnasyalosla, ac el solalos nu ke kisa uh.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”
Ke elos sun acn sac, Samuel el ngetang liyal Eliab, sie sin wen natul Jesse, ac el sifacna nunku insial, “Pwaye lah mwet se inge su tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, pa mwet se God El sulela.”
7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”
A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nik kom lohang nu ke fulatal ku lumahl. Nga tia eisal, mweyen ouiyen sulela luk uh tia oana ouiyen sulela lun mwet uh. Mwet uh elos liye luku, a nga liye insien mwet uh.”
8 And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
Na Jesse el pangnol Abinadab, sie pac sin wen natul, ac pwanulak nu yorol Samuel. Tusruktu Samuel el fahk, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tia pac sulella el an.”
9 And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
Na Jesse el usalu Shammah. Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tia pac sulella el an.”
10 And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”
In lumah se na inge, Jesse el use wen itkosr natul nu yorol Samuel. Ac Samuel el fahk nu sel, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tiana sulela sie selos.”
11 And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”
Na Samuel el siyuk sel Jesse, “Oasr pac wen lula nutum?” Jesse el topuk, “Wen se ma fusr emeet pa lula, tuh el muta liyaung sheep uh inimae.” Ac Samuel el fahk, “Solalma elan tuku. Kut ac fah tia oru kisa nwe ke na el tuku.”
12 And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”
Na Jesse el sapla solalma David. El sie mwet fusr fokoko ac oasku, ac atronmutal saromrom. LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Pa inge mwet sac. Tuyak ac mosrwella!”
13 And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.
Samuel el eis oil in olive ac mosrwella David ye mutun tamulel lal. In kitin pacl ah na ngun lun LEUM GOD tuku ke ku nu facl David, ac welul in len sac fahla. Na Samuel el folokla nu Ramah.
14 And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;
Inge ngun lun LEUM GOD wanginla lukel Saul, ac sie ngun koluk sin LEUM GOD aklokoalokyal.
15 and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;
Mwet kulansap lal Saul elos fahk nu sel, “Kut etu tuh sie ngun koluk sin God pa aklokoalokye kom uh.
16 now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”
Leuwa, supwekut tuh kut in suk sie mwet ma etu srital ke harp, tuh ke pacl se ngun koluk se inge ac utyak nu in kom, mwet sac fah srital ke harp natul, na ac fah akinsewowoye kom.”
17 And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”
Saul el sapkin nu selos, “Sokma sie mwet sumat ke srital, ac usalu nu yuruk.”
18 And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”
Sie sin mwet kulansap lal ah fahk nu sel, “Oasr wen se natul Jesse mwet Bethlehem, ac nga liye el arulana etu srital ke mwe on. El sie mukul pulaik ac wo lumahl, el sie mwet etu mweun ac el lalmwetmet ke sramsram. LEUM GOD El welul.”
19 And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”
Ke ma inge Saul el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Jesse, ac elos fahk, “Supwalma David, wen nutum ma liyaung sheep uh.”
20 And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.
Na Jesse el supwalla David nu yorol Saul, wi nani fusr soko, ac donkey soko nwanala fintokol ke bread, ac sie pak in neinyuk wain nwanala ke wain.
21 And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.
David el tuku nu yorol Saul ac mutawauk in kulansupwal. Saul el arulana lungse el, ac el sulella tuh in el pa mwet se us mwe mweun natul uh.
22 And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”
Na Saul el sapla nu sel Jesse ac fahk, “Nga arulana lungse David. Lela elan mutana inge in kulansupweyu.”
23 And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.
In pacl sac fahla, pacl nukewa ma ngun koluk se sin God ac utyak nu in Saul, na David el ac eis harp natul ac srital kac. Na ngun koluk sac ac som lukel Saul, ac el ac mongi ac sifilpa wola.
