1 Samuel 16
1 And he said Yahweh to Samuel until when? [are] you mourning to Saul and I I have rejected him from reigning over Israel fill horn your oil and go I will send you to Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite for I have seen among sons his for myself a king.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Olituusa ddi okunakuwala olwa Sawulo, ate nga nze sikyamubala kuba kabaka wa Isirayiri? Jjuza ejjembe lyo amafuta nkutume eri Yese Omubesirekemu kubanga nnonze omu ku batabani be okuba kabaka.”
2 And he said Samuel how? will I go and he will hear Saul and he will kill me. And he said Yahweh a heifer of cattle you will take in hand your and you will say to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come.
Naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Nnaagenda ntya? Sawulo bw’anakiwulira ajja kunzita.” Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Weetwalire ennyana oyogere nti, ‘Nzize kuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.’
3 And you will invite Jesse at the sacrifice and I I will make known to you [that] which you will do and you will anoint for me [the one] whom I will say to you.
Yita Yese ajje okuwaayo ssaddaaka, nzija kukulaga eky’okukola. Ojja kufuka amafuta ku oyo gwe nnaaba nnonze.”
4 And he did Samuel [that] which he said Yahweh and he came Beth-lehem and they trembled [the] elders of the city to meet him and someone said [in] peace [are] coming? you.
Samwiri n’akola ekyo Mukama kye yamulagira. Bwe yatuuka e Besirekemu abakulu b’ekibuga ne bakankana olw’okutya bwe baamusisinkana era ne bamubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe?”
5 And he said - peace to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come consecrate yourselves and you will come with me at the sacrifice and he consecrated Jesse and sons his and he invited them to the sacrifice.
N’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo, mirembe. Nzize okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama. Mwetukuze tugende ffenna tuweeyo ssaddaaka.” N’atukuza Yese ne batabani be, n’abayita okujja okuwaayo ssaddaaka.
6 And it was when came they and he saw Eliab and he said surely [is] before Yahweh anointed his.
Bwe baatuuka n’atunuulira Eriyaabu, n’alowooza nti, “Mazima Mukama ono gw’afuseeko amafuta, era y’ayimiridde kaakano mu maaso ga Mukama.”
7 And he said Yahweh to Samuel may not you look to appearance his and to [the] height of stature his for I have rejected him for - not [that] which he sees man for man he sees to the eyes and Yahweh he sees to the heart.
Naye Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Totunuulira nfaanana ye wadde obuwanvu bwe, kubanga si gwe nnonze. Mukama tatunuulira ebyo abantu bye batunuulira. Abantu batunuulira bya kungulu naye Mukama atunuulira bya mu mutima.”
8 And he called Jesse to Abinadab and he made pass by him before Samuel and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.
Awo Yese n’ayita Abinadaabu, n’amuyisa mu maaso ga Samwiri. Naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Oyo naye Mukama si gw’alonze.”
9 And he made pass by Jesse Shammah and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.
Yese n’ayita Samma n’amusimbawo, naye Samwiri n’ayogera nti, “Era n’oyo Mukama si gw’alonze.”
10 And he made pass by Jesse seven of sons his before Samuel and he said Samuel to Jesse not he has chosen Yahweh these.
Yese n’ayisa batabani be omusanvu mu maaso ga Samwiri, naye Samwiri n’amugamba nti, “Ku bo tekuli n’omu Mukama gw’alonze.”
11 And he said Samuel to Jesse ¿ are they finished the young men and he said still he remains the young [one] and there! [he is] shepherding the flock and he said Samuel to Jesse send! and bring him for not we will turn round until comes he here.
N’abuuza Yese nti, “Bano be batabani bo bokka?” Yese n’addamu nti, “Ekyasigaddeyo asingira ddala obuto, alunda ndiga.” Samwiri n’agamba Yese nti, “Mutumye; tetujja kuweera okutuusa lw’anajja.”
12 And he sent and he brought him and he [was] red with beautiful of eyes and good of appearance. And he said Yahweh arise anoint him for this [is] he.
N’amutumya, n’aleetebwa. Yali mumyufu, n’amaaso ge nga malungi, era ng’alabika bulungi nnyo. Awo Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Golokoka omufukeko amafuta; ye wuuyo.”
13 And he took Samuel [the] horn of oil and he anointed him in [the] midst of brothers his and it rushed [the] spirit of Yahweh to David from the day that and on-wards and he arose Samuel and he went Ramah towards.
Awo Samwiri n’addira ejjembe ly’amafuta, n’agamufukako mu maaso ga baganda be. Okuva ku lunaku olwo Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akka ku Dawudi mu maanyi mangi. Oluvannyuma Samwiri n’addayo e Laama.
14 And [the] spirit of Yahweh it departed from with Saul and it terrified him a spirit evil from with Yahweh.
Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda yali avudde ku Sawulo, omwoyo omubi ogwava eri Mukama ne gumucoccanga.
15 And they said [the] servants of Saul to him here! please a spirit of God evil [is] terrifying you.
Awo abaweereza ba Sawulo ne bamuleetera ekiteeso nti, “Laba, omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda gukucocca.
16 Let him say please lord our servants your before you let them seek a person [who] knows playing on the harp and it will be when is on you a spirit of God evil and he will play with hand his and good [will belong] to you.
Mukama waffe alagire abaweereza be kaakano okumunoonyeza omuntu asobola okukuba entongooli. Omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda bwe gunaabanga gukusseeko, bw’anagikubanga n’oddamu endasi, onoowuliranga bulungi n’okkakkana.”
17 And he said Saul to servants his see please for me a person [who] does well to play and you will bring [him] to me.
Awo Sawulo n’alagira abaweereza be nti, “Munfunireyo omuntu asobola okukuba entongooli obulungi, mumundeetere.”
18 And he answered one from the young men and he said here! I have seen a son of Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite [who] knows to play and a mighty [man] of strength and a man of war and [one] discerning of word and a man of form and Yahweh [is] with him.
Omu ku baweereza n’addamu nti, “Waliwo mutabani wa Yese Omubesirekemu gwe nalaba asobola okukuba entongooli obulungi. Musajja muzira era mulwanyi, ate nga mwogezi mulungi, era alabika bulungi. Ate Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.”
19 And he sent Saul messengers to Jesse and he said send! to me David son your who [is] with the flock.
Awo Sawulo n’atuma ababaka eri Yese, ng’agamba nti, “Mpeereza mutabani wo Dawudi, alabirira endiga.”
20 And he took Jesse a donkey bread and a skin-bottle of wine and a kid of goats one and he sent [them] by [the] hand of David son his to Saul.
Yese n’addira endogoyi n’agitikka emigaati, n’eccupa y’envinnyo n’omwana gw’embuzi, n’abiweereza wamu ne mutabani we Dawudi eri Sawulo.
21 And he came David to Saul and he stood before him and he loved him exceedingly and he was of him bearer of armor.
Dawudi n’atuuka eri Sawulo, n’afuuka omu ku baweereza be. Sawulo n’amwagala nnyo, era n’amufuula omu ku abo abaasitulanga ebyokulwanyisa bye.
22 And he sent Saul to Jesse saying let him stand please David before me for he has found favor in view my.
Awo Sawulo n’atumira Yese ng’agamba nti, “Kkiriza Dawudi asigale ng’omu ku baweereza bange, kubanga nsiimye by’ankolera.”
23 And it was when was a spirit of God to Saul and he took David the harp and he played with hand his and it was relief to Saul and good [belonged] to him and it departed from on him [the] spirit of evil.
Awo buli omwoyo omubi okuva eri Katonda lwe gw’ajjanga ku Sawulo, Dawudi n’amukubiranga entongooli, Sawulo n’akkakkana, era n’awulira bulungiko, n’omwoyo omubi ne gumuvaako.
