1 Samũeli 16
1 Nake Jehova akĩũria Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya rĩ ũkũrĩrĩra Saũlũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũregete ta mũthamaki wa Isiraeli? Iyũria rũhĩa rwaku maguta, na umagare, ũthiĩ; ndĩragũtũma ũthiĩ kwa Jesii wa itũũra rĩa Bethilehemu. Nĩthuurĩte ũmwe wa ariũ ake atuĩke mũthamaki.”
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.
2 No Samũeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩthiĩ kũu atĩa? Saũlũ nĩarĩigua ũhoro ũcio nake anjũrage.” Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya moori, ũthiĩ nayo na uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Njũkĩte kũrutĩra Jehova igongona.’
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.
3 Na wĩte Jesii oke igongona-inĩ rĩu, na nĩndĩrĩkuonia ũrĩa ũrĩka. Nawe ũitĩrĩrie maguta mũndũ ũrĩa ndĩrĩkuonia.”
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.
4 Samũeli agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwĩrĩte eeke. Rĩrĩa aakinyire Bethilehemu, athuuri a itũũra makĩmũtũnga makĩinainaga. Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte na thayũ?”
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.
5 Samũeli akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, njũkĩte na thayũ; njũkĩte kũrutĩra Jehova igongona. Mwĩtheriei, mũũke hamwe na niĩ igongona-inĩ.” Agĩcooka agĩtheria Jesii na ariũ ake, akĩmeeta igongona-inĩ rĩu.
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.
6 Rĩrĩa ariũ a Jesii maakinyire-rĩ, Samũeli akĩona Eliabu, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, ũrĩa Jehova aitĩrĩirie maguta arũngiĩ haha mbere ya Jehova.”
And it was when came they and he saw Eliab and he said surely [is] before Yahweh anointed his.
7 No Jehova akĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũmũrora gĩthiithi kana ũraihu wake, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũregete, tondũ Jehova ndaroraga maũndũ marĩa mũndũ aroraga. Mũndũ wa gũkũ thĩ aroraga mũndũ gĩthiithi, no Jehova aroraga ngoro thĩinĩ.”
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.
8 Ningĩ Jesii agĩĩta Abinadabu akĩmũhĩtũkĩria mbere ya Samũeli. No Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na ũyũ tiwe Jehova athuurĩte.”
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.
9 Ningĩ Jesii akĩhĩtũkithia Shama, no Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na ũyũ tiwe Jehova athuurĩte.”
And he made pass by Jesse Shammah and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.
10 Jesii akĩrehe ariũ ake mũgwanja arĩa maahĩtũkĩire harĩ Samũeli, no Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndathuurĩte aya.”
And he made pass by Jesse seven of sons his before Samuel and he said Samuel to Jesse not he has chosen Yahweh these.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jesii atĩrĩ, “Ariũ aku othe marĩ haha?” Jesii agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ ũrĩa mũnini wao; no arĩ rũũru akĩrĩithia ngʼondu.” Samũeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũtũmanĩre; tũtingĩikara thĩ atookĩte.”
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.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmana, nake akĩrehwo. Aarĩ mũtune, akaagĩra gĩthiithi na agathakara mũno akĩoneka. Jehova agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũmũitĩrĩrie maguta; ũyũ nĩwe.”
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.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Samũeli akĩoya rũhĩa rwa maguta akĩmũitĩrĩria maguta ariũ a nyina makĩonaga; kuuma mũthenya ũcio Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩa Daudi na hinya. Nake Samũeli agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Rama.
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.
14 Na rĩrĩ, Roho wa Jehova nĩeherete kũrĩ Saũlũ, na roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova nĩwamũnyariiraga.
And [the] spirit of Yahweh it departed from with Saul and it terrified him a spirit evil from with Yahweh.
15 Nacio ndungata cia Saũlũ ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai ũrakũnyariira.
And they said [the] servants of Saul to him here! please a spirit of God evil [is] terrifying you.
16 Reke mwathi witũ aathe ndungata ciake iria irĩ haha icarie mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩkũhũũrĩra kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto. Nĩarĩhũũraga kĩnanda rĩrĩa roho mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai wagũkora, nawe nĩũrĩiguaga wega.”
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.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Cariai mũndũ ũũĩ kũhũũra kĩnanda wega na mũmũrehe harĩ niĩ.”
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.
18 Ndungata ĩmwe yake ĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete mũriũ ũmwe wa Jesii kuuma Bethilehemu ũũĩ kũhũũra kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto. Nĩ mũndũ mũũmĩrĩru na nĩ njamba ya ita. Nĩoĩ kwaria wega na nĩ mũndũ kĩĩrorerwa. Nake Jehova arĩ hamwe nake.”
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.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Jesii, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũmĩra mũrũguo Daudi, ũrĩa ũrarĩithia ngʼondu.”
And he sent Saul messengers to Jesse and he said send! to me David son your who [is] with the flock.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesii akĩoya ndigiri ikuuĩte mĩgate, na mondo ya ndibei, na koori, agĩcinengera mũrũwe Daudi atwarĩre Saũlũ.
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.
21 Daudi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Saũlũ, akĩingĩra ũtungata-inĩ wake. Saũlũ akĩmwenda mũno, nake Daudi agĩtuĩka ũmwe wa kũmũkuagĩra indo cia mbaara.
And he came David to Saul and he stood before him and he loved him exceedingly and he was of him bearer of armor.
22 Ningĩ Saũlũ agĩtũma ũhoro kũrĩ Jesii, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩria Daudi aikare ũtungata-inĩ wakwa nĩgũkorwo nĩngenetio nĩwe.”
And he sent Saul to Jesse saying let him stand please David before me for he has found favor in view my.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe roho ũcio mũũru uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai wakoraga Saũlũ, Daudi nĩoyaga kĩnanda gĩake kĩa mũgeeto na agakĩhũũra. Nake Saũlũ akahoorera; akaigua wega, naguo roho ũcio mũũru ũkamweherera.
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.
