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 amongst his sons.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Kasano kabayag a pagladingitam ni Saul, idinto a linaksidko isuna iti panagbalinna nga ari iti entero nga Israel? Punoem ta sara a pagkarkargaam iti lana ket mapanka. Ibaonka kenni Jesse iti Betlehem, ta napilik ti maysa kadagiti annakna a lallaki nga agbalin a maysa nga ari.”
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.’
Kinuna ni Samuel, “Kasano a mapanak? No mangngeg ni Saul daytoy, papatayennakto.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Mangitugotka iti urbon a baka ket ibagam, 'Immayak tapno agidaton kenni Yahweh.'
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.”
Ayabam ni Jesse iti pagidatonan, ket ipakitakto kenka ti aramidem. Pulotamto daydiay nga ibagak kenka.”
4 Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
Inaramid ngarud ni Samuel ti imbaga ni Yahweh ket napan idiay Betlehem. Agpigpigerger dagiti panglakayen ti siudad bayat a sabsabatenda isuna ket kinunada, “Kappia kadi ti immayam?”
5 He said, “Peaceably; 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.
Kinunana, “Wen kappia; Immayak tapno agidaton kenni Yahweh. Aramidenyo ti seremonia a mamagbalin kadakayo a nalinis iti imatang ni Yahweh ket sumurotkayo kaniak.” Ket inaramidna kenni Jesse ken dagiti annakna a lallaki ti seremonia a pakaibilanganda a nalinis iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket kalpasanna, inayabanna ida iti pagidatonanna.
6 When they had come, he looked at Eliab, and said, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.”
Idi nakagtengdan, kinitana ni Eliab ket kinunana iti nakemna a pudno nga agtaktakder iti sangoananna ti pinulotan ni Yahweh.
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Saanmo a kitaen ti akin-ruar a langana, wenno ti kinatayagna; gapu ta linaksidko isuna. Ta ni Yahweh, saan a kumita a kas iti panagkita ti tao; kitaen ti tao ti akin-ruar a langa, ngem ni Yahweh, kumita iti puso.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”
Kalpasanna, inayaban ni Jesse ni Abinadab ket pinapagnana iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”
Ket pinapagna manen ni Jesse ni Samma iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
10 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
Pinapagna ni Jesse dagiti pito nga annakna a lallaki iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Awan ti pinili ni Yahweh iti siasinoman kadagitoy.”
11 Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?” He said, “There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.”
Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Adda kadi amin ditoy dagiti annakmo a lallaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Adda pay ti inaudi, ngem isuna ti agipaspastor kadagiti karnero.” Kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Mangibaonka iti mangayab kenkuana; ta saantayo nga agtugaw agingga saan a sumangpet isuna ditoy.”
12 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. The LORD said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he.”
Pinaayaban ni Jesse isuna. Ita, daytoy a putot ni Jesse ket lumabaga ti kudilna ken napintas dagiti matana ken nataer isuna. Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Tumakderka, pulotam isuna; ta isuna ti pinilik.”
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
Ket innala ni Samuel ti sara a naglaon iti lana ket pinulotanna isuna iti sangoanan dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki. Manipud iti dayta nga aldaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ti nagtalinaed kenni David. Ket nagrubbuat ni Samuel ket napan idiay Rama.
14 Now the LORD’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
Ita, pimmanaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Saul, ket adda dakes nga espiritu nga imbaon ni Yahweh a nangriribuk ketdi kenkuana.
15 Saul’s servants said to him, “See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Saul kenkuana, “Kitaem, addan dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangrirriribuk kenka.
16 Let our lord now command your servants who are in front of you to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp. Then when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will play with his hand, and you will be well.”
Bilinen koma ti apomi ita dagiti adipenna nga adda iti sangoananna a mangsapul iti maysa a tao a nalaing nga agtukar iti arpa. Ket no adda kenka ti dakes nga espiritu, pagtukarenna daytoy ket sumayaatkanto.”
17 Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”
Kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna, “Isapulandak iti tao a nalaing nga agtukar ket iyegyo kaniak.”
18 Then one of the young men answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skilful in playing, a mighty man of valour, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.”
Ket simmungbat ti maysa kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, ket kunana, “Nakitak ti maysa nga anak a lalaki ni Jesse a taga-Betlehem, a nalaing nga agtukar, napigsa, natured a tao; mannakigubat a tao, nalaing nga agbitla, nataer a tao; ken adda kenkuana ni Yahweh.”
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”
Isu a nangibaon ni Saul kadagiti mensahero kenni Jesse, ket kinunana, “Ibaonmo kaniak ti anakmo a ni David, nga adda iti ayan dagiti karnero.”
20 Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
Nangala ni Jesse iti asno a napaawitan iti tinapay, maysa a pagkargaan a lalat a naglaon iti arak, ken adda pay urbon a kalding, ket impaw-itna dagitoy iti anakna a ni David para kenni Saul.
21 David came to Saul and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armour bearer.
Ket dimteng ni David iti ayan ni Saul ket nangrugi nga agserbi isuna kenni Saul. Nagustoan unay isuna ni Saul, ket nagbalin isuna a para-awit iti igamna.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favour in my sight.”
Pinaibaga ni Saul kenni Jesse, a kunana, “Ipalubosmo nga agtalinaed ni David iti ayanko, ta magustoak unay isuna.”
23 When the spirit from God was on Saul, David took the harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Ti dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangriribuk kenni Saul, tunggal riribukenna ni Saul, alaen ni David ti arpa ket tukarenna daytoy. Isu a mabang-aran ken sumayaat ni Saul, ket pumanaw ti dakes nga espiritu kenkuana.
