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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Till when art thou mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I send thee unto Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons for Myself a king.
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 saith, 'How do I go? when Saul hath heard, then he hath slain me.' And Jehovah saith, 'A heifer of the herd thou dost take in thy hand, and hast said, To sacrifice to Jehovah I have come;
3 Ayabam ni Jesse iti pagidatonan, ket ipakitakto kenka ti aramidem. Pulotamto daydiay nga ibagak kenka.”
and thou hast called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause thee to know that which thou dost do, and thou hast anointed to Me him of whom I speak unto 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?”
And Samuel doth that which Jehovah hath spoken, and cometh in to Beth-Lehem, and the elders of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] saith, 'Is thy coming peace?'
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 saith, 'Peace; to sacrifice to Jehovah I have come, sanctify yourselves, and ye have come in with me to the sacrifice;' and he sanctifieth Jesse and his sons, and calleth 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 it cometh to pass, in their coming in, that he seeth Eliab, and saith, 'Surely, before Jehovah [is] His anointed.'
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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Look not unto his appearance, and unto the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man seeth — for man looketh at the eyes, and Jehovah looketh at 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.”
And Jesse calleth unto Abinadab, and causeth him to pass by before Samuel; and he saith, 'Also on this Jehovah hath not fixed.'
9 Ket pinapagna manen ni Jesse ni Samma iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
And Jesse causeth Shammah to pass by, and he saith, 'Also on this Jehovah hath not fixed.'
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.”
And Jesse causeth seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel saith to Jesse, 'Jehovah hath not fixed on 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.”
And Samuel saith unto Jesse, 'Are the young men finished?' and he saith, 'Yet hath been left the youngest; and lo, he delighteth himself among the flock;' and Samuel saith unto Jesse, 'Send and take him, for we do not turn round till his coming in 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 sendeth, and bringeth him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and of good appearance; and Jehovah saith, 'Rise, anoint 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.
And Samuel taketh the horn of oil, and anointeth him in the midst of his brethren, and prosper over David doth the Spirit of Jehovah from that day and onwards; and Samuel riseth and goeth to Ramath.
14 Ita, pimmanaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Saul, ket adda dakes nga espiritu nga imbaon ni Yahweh a nangriribuk ketdi kenkuana.
And the Spirit of Jehovah turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from Jehovah terrified him;
15 Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Saul kenkuana, “Kitaem, addan dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangrirriribuk kenka.
and the servants of Saul say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying 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 command, we pray thee, thy servants before thee, they seek a skilful man, playing on a harp, and it hath come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being upon thee, that he hath played with his hand, and [it is] well with thee.'
17 Kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna, “Isapulandak iti tao a nalaing nga agtukar ket iyegyo kaniak.”
And Saul saith unto his servants, 'Provide, I pray you, for me a man playing well — then ye have brought [him] in unto 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.”
And one of the servants answereth and saith, 'Lo, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skilful in playing, and a mighty virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and Jehovah [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.”
And Saul sendeth messengers unto Jesse, and saith, 'Send unto me David thy son, who [is] with the flock.'
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 Jesse taketh an ass, [with] bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sendeth by the hand of David his son unto 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 David cometh in unto Saul, and standeth before him, and he loveth him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.
22 Pinaibaga ni Saul kenni Jesse, a kunana, “Ipalubosmo nga agtalinaed ni David iti ayanko, ta magustoak unay isuna.”
And Saul sendeth unto Jesse, saying, 'Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he hath found grace in mine eyes.'
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 it hath come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David hath taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul hath refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness hath turned aside from off him.
