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.”
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Saaʼol isa ani akka inni Israaʼel irratti mootii hin taaneef tuffadhe sanaaf hamma yoomiitti boossa? Gaanfa keetti zayitii guuttadhuutii deemi; ani gara Isseeyi nama Beetlihemitti sin erga. Ani ilmaan isaa keessaa isa tokko akka mootii taʼuuf filadheeraatii.”
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;
Saamuʼeel garuu, “Ani akkamittin deemuu dandaʼa? Saaʼol yoo waan kana dhagaʼe na ajjeesa” jedhe. Waaqayyo immoo akkana jedhe; “Goromsa tokko fudhadhuu dhaqiitii, ‘Ani Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuufin dhufe’ jedhi.
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.”
Isseeyinis gara aarsaatti waami; ani waan ati gootu sitti argisiisa. Atis nama ani sitti argisiisu sana naa dibda.”
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?”
Saamuʼeelis waan Waaqayyo isa ajaje godhe. Yommuu inni Beetlihem gaʼetti maanguddoonni magaalaa sanaa hollachaa isa simachuu dhufanii, “Ati naguma dhuftee?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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.
Saamuʼeelis deebisee, “Eeyyee naguma; ani Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessuun dhufe. Isinis of qulqulleessaatii na wajjin gara aarsaa kottaa” jedhe. Ergasiis inni Isseeyii fi ilmaan isaa qulqulleessee gara aarsaatti isaan waame.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”
Yeroo isaan achi gaʼanittis Saamuʼeel Eliiyaabin argee, “Dhugumaan namni Waaqayyo dibe as fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabateera” jedhee garaatti yaade.
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.”
Waaqayyo garuu Saamuʼeeliin, “Ani isa tuffadheeraatii bifa isaa yookaan hojjaa isaa hin ilaalin. Waaqayyo waan namni ilaalu hin ilaalu. Namni bifa ilaala; Waaqayyo garuu waan garaa keessa jiru ilaala” jedhe.
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].”
Isseeyis ergasii Abiinaadaabin waamee akka inni fuula Saamuʼeel dura darbu godhe. Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isa kana hin filanne” jedhe.
9 And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
Isseey akka Shamaan darbu godhe; Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isa kanas hin filanne” jedhe.
10 And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”
Isseey akka ilmaan isaa torbanuu fuula Saamuʼeel dura darban godhe; Saamuʼeel garuu, “Waaqayyo isaan kanneen hin filanne” jedhe.
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.”
Innis, “Ilmaan kee hundi kanneenumaa?” jedhee Isseeyin gaafate. Isseeyis, “Quxxisuun hunda isaanii tokko jira; inni garuu hoolota tiksaa jira” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis, “Nama itti ergiitii isa fichisiisi; nu hamma inni dhufutti hin teenyuutii” jedhe.
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.”
Kanaaf Isseeyi nama itti ergee isa fichisiise. Innis diimaa, nama iji isaa miidhaguu fi nama dhaaba tolu ture. Waaqayyos, “Kaʼii isa dibi; inni ani filadhe isa kanaatii” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Saamuʼeel gaanfa zayitii fuudhee fuula obboloota isaa duratti isa dibe; guyyaa sanaa jalqabee Hafuurri Waaqayyoo humnaan Daawit irra buʼe. Saamuʼeelis gara Raamaa deeme.
14 And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;
Hafuurri Waaqayyoos Saaʼol irraa fagaate; hafuurri hamaan Waaqayyo biraa ergame immoo Saaʼolin dhiphise.
15 and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;
Tajaajiltoonni Saaʼol akkana isaan jedhan; “Kunoo hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa ergamee si dhiphisaa jira.
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.”
Egaa gooftaan keenya akka isaan nama baganaa taphachuu dandaʼu barbaadaniif tajaajiltoota isaa warra fuula isaa dura jiran haa ajaju. Innis yommuu hafuurri hamaan sun Waaqa biraa sitti dhufu baganaa siif taphata; sittis ni wayyaaʼa.”
17 And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”
Kanaafuu Saaʼol tajaajiltoota isaatiin, “Nama akka gaariitti baganaa taphachuu dandaʼu tokko barbaadaatii naa fidaa” jedhe.
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.”
Tajaajiltoota sana keessaa tokko, “Kunoo ilma Isseey nama Beetlihem kan baganaa taphachuu beeku tokko ani argeera. Innis jagnaa fi loltuu dha. Nama dubbii beekuu fi miidhagaa dha. Waaqayyos isa wajjin jira” jedhee deebise.
19 And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”
Saaʼolis Isseeyitti ergamoota ergee, “Ilma kee Daawit isa hoolota bira jiru sana naa ergi” jedhe.
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.
Isseeyis harree tokko fidee buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko itti feʼee, ilmoo reʼee tokko wajjin ilma isaa Daawitin Saaʼoliif erge.
21 And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.
Daawit gara Saaʼol dhufee tajaajila isaa jalqabe. Saaʼol akka malee isa jaallate; Daawitis nama miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu taʼe.
22 And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”
Saaʼolis, “Akka inni na wajjin turee na tajaajiluuf Daawitiif eeyyami; ani isatti gammadeeraatii” jedhee Isseeyitti dhaame.
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.
Yommuu hafuurri hamaan Waaqa biraa Saaʼolitti dhufu hunda, Daawit baganaa isaa fudhatee taphata ture; Saaʼolis boqonnaa argata; itti wayyaaʼas ture. Hafuurri hamaan sunis isa dhiisee deema ture.
