< I Samuel 16 >

1 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.”
The Lord then saide vnto Samuel, Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seeing I haue cast him away from reigning ouer Israel? fill thine horne with oyle and come, I will sende thee to Ishai the Bethlehemite: for I haue prouided mee a King among his sonnes.
2 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.'
And Samuel sayde, Howe can I goe? for if Saul shall heare it, he will kill me. Then the Lord answered, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to doe sacrifice to the Lord.
3 Ayabam ni Jesse iti pagidatonan, ket ipakitakto kenka ti aramidem. Pulotamto daydiay nga ibagak kenka.”
And call Ishai to the sacrifice, and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe, and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee.
4 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?”
So Samuel did that the Lord bade him, and came to Beth-lehem, and the Elders of the towne were astonied at his comming, and sayd, Commest thou peaceablie?
5 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.
And he answeared, Yea: I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lord: sanctifie your selues, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Ishai and his sonnes, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 Idi nakagtengdan, kinitana ni Eliab ket kinunana iti nakemna a pudno nga agtaktakder iti sangoananna ti pinulotan ni Yahweh.
And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him.
7 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.”
But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.
8 Kalpasanna, inayaban ni Jesse ni Abinadab ket pinapagnana iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
Then Ishai called Abinadab, and made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 Ket pinapagna manen ni Jesse ni Samma iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lord chosen him.
10 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.”
Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of these.
11 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.”
Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither.
12 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.”
And he sent, and brought him in: and he was ruddie, and of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lord saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he.
13 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.
Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah.
14 Ita, pimmanaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Saul, ket adda dakes nga espiritu nga imbaon ni Yahweh a nangriribuk ketdi kenkuana.
But the Spirite of the Lord departed from Saul, and an euill spirite sent of the Lord vexed him.
15 Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Saul kenkuana, “Kitaem, addan dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangrirriribuk kenka.
And Sauls seruants said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the euill spirite of God vexeth thee.
16 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.”
Let our Lord therefore command thy seruants, that are before thee, to seeke a man that is a cunning plaier vpon the harpe: that when the euil spirit of God commeth vpon thee, hee may play with his hand, and thou maiest be eased.
17 Kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna, “Isapulandak iti tao a nalaing nga agtukar ket iyegyo kaniak.”
Saul then saide vnto his seruantes, Prouide me a man, I pray you, that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 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.”
Then answered one of his seruauntes, and sayde, Beholde, I haue seene a sonne of Ishai, a Bethlehemite, that can plaie, and is strong, valiant and a man of warre and wise in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.
19 Isu a nangibaon ni Saul kadagiti mensahero kenni Jesse, ket kinunana, “Ibaonmo kaniak ti anakmo a ni David, nga adda iti ayan dagiti karnero.”
Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Ishai, and said, Send me Dauid thy sonne which is with the sheepe.
20 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.
And Ishai tooke an asse laden with breade and a flagon of wine and a kidde, and sent them by the hand of Dauid his sonne vnto Saul.
21 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.
And Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him: and he loued him verie well, and he was his armour bearer.
22 Pinaibaga ni Saul kenni Jesse, a kunana, “Ipalubosmo nga agtalinaed ni David iti ayanko, ta magustoak unay isuna.”
And Saul sent to Ishai, saying, Let Dauid nowe remaine with me: for he hath found fauour in my sight.
23 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.
And so when the euil spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid tooke an harpe and plaied with his hande, and Saul was refreshed, and was eased: for the euill spirit departed from him.
