< 1 Samuel 16 >
1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons."
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Pehea la ka loihi o kou uwe ana ia Saula, no ka mea, ua haalele au ia ia, aole oia ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela? E hoopiha oe i kou pepeiaohao i ka aila, a e hele, e hoouna aku au ia oe io Iese la no Betelehema: no ka mea, ua wae iho au i alii no'u iwaena o kana mau keiki.
2 Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." The LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.
I aku la o Samuela, Pehea la wau e hele ai? ina lohe o Saula, e pepehi mai ia ia'u. Olelo mai la o Iehova, E lawe pu me oe i bipiwahine, a e i aku, Ua hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova.
3 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you."
A e kahea aku oe ia Iese e hele i ka mohai, a e hoike aku au ia oe i kau mea e hana aku ai: a e poni iho oe no'u i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe.
4 And Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling. And they said, "Is your visit peaceful, seer?"
A hana aku la o Samuela i ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, a hele aku la i Betelehema: a haalulu na lunakahiko o ke kulanakauhale i kona hiki ana mai, i mai la, I hele mai nei oe me ke aloha?
5 And he said, "Peaceful; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
I aku la ia, Me ke aloha no: i hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova; e hoomaemae oukou ia oukou iho, a e hele pu mai me au i ka mohai. Hoomaemae aku la oia ia Iese a me kana mau keiki, a kahea aku la oia ia lakou i ka mohai.
6 It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before him."
A i ko lakou hiki ana mai, nana aku oia ia Eliaba, i iho la, He oiaio imua o'u ka poni a Iehova.
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For humans do not see as God sees, for humans look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart."
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Mai nana oe i kona ano mawaho, aole hoi i ka loihi o kona kino; ua hoole aku au ia ia: no ka mea, aole ma ka mea a ke kanaka i ike; ke nana nei ke kanaka i na helehelena, aka, ke nana nei o Iehova i ka naau.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."
A kahea aku la o Iese ia Abinadaba, a hoike ia ia imua o Samuela. I mai la ia, Aole i wae mai o Iehova i keia.
9 Then Jesse made Shimeah to pass by. He said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."
Hoike aku la o Iese ia Sama. I mai la ia, Aole o Iehova i wae mai i keia.
10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen these."
Hoike aku la o Iese i kana mau keikikane ehiku imua o Samuela. I mai la o Samuela ia Iese, Aole o Iehova i wae mai ia lakou nei.
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your children here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest. Look, he is tending the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here."
Ninau aku la o Samuela ia Iese, O ka pau anei keia o na keiki? I mai la ia, O ka pokii wale no i koe, aia hoi, ke malama nei ia i na hipa. I aku la o Samuela ia Iese, E kii, a lawe mai ia ia: no ka mea, aole kakou e noho iho a hiki mai ia.
12 So he sent and brought him in. And he was reddish brown, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him, for he is the one."
Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai ia ia. He ehu, he nani kona mau maka, he maikai ke nana aku. Olelo mai o Iehova, E ku ae oe, a e poni ia ia, no ka mea, oia no ia.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Alaila lalau aku la o Samuela i ka pepeiaohao aila, a poni ia ia iwaena o kona mau hoahanau: a hiki mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna o Davida ia la, a ma ia hope aku. Ku ae la o Samuela, a hele aku ma Rama.
14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the LORD tormented him.
A haalele ka Uhane o Iehova ia Saula, a hikilele mai ka uhane ino maluna ona na Iehova mai.
15 Saul's servants said to him, "See now, a harmful spirit from God troubles you.
I mai la na kauwa a Saula ia ia, Aia hoi, ano ua hiki wawe mai ka uhane ino i ou la na ke Akua mai.
16 Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. It shall happen, when the harmful spirit is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well, and it will give you relief."
Ano, e ko makou haku, e olelo mai i kau mau kauwa imua ou, e imi lakou i kanaka akamai i ka hookani i ka lira: a i hiki mai ka uhane ino maluna ou na ke Akua mai; alaila oia e hookani ai me kona lima, a ola oe.
17 Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."
I aku la o Saula i kana mau kauwa, Ano e imi oukou no'u i kanaka akamai i ka hookani, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
18 Then one of the young men answered, and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a warrior, and articulate in speech, and a handsome man; and the LORD is with him."
Alaila olelo mai kekahi o na kauwa, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua ike au i kekahi keiki a Iese no Betelehema, ua akamai i ka hookani, a ua koa loa, a he kanaka kaua, a me ke akamai i ka olelo, a he helehelena maikai, a me ia no o Iehova.
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."
Hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele io Iese la, i aku la, E hoouna mai io'u nei ia Davida, i kau keiki, aia no ia me ka poe hipa.
20 And Jesse took a donkey and loaded it with an omer of bread, and a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
Lawe ae la o Iese i ka hoki, me ka berena, a me ka hue waina, a me kahi keikikao, a hoouna aku la ma ka lima o Davida, kana keiki, io Saula la.
21 David came to Saul, and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
Hele aku la o Davida io Saula la, a ku imua ona: a ua nui kona aloha mai ia ia: a lilo ia i mea halihali i kana mea kaua.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight."
Hoouna aku la o Saula io Iese la, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe, e ku o Davida imua o'u: no ka mea, ua loaa ia ia ke aloha imua o ko'u maka.
23 It happened, when the spirit from God was on Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.
A i ka manawa i hiki mai ai ka uhane ino maluna o Saula na ke Akua mai, lalau aku la o Davida i ka lira, a hookani aku la me kona lima; a ua oluolu o Saula, a ua ola hoi, a haalele ka uhane ino ia ia.
