1 Samue 16

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne, Nama'agna Solinkura kasunkura nehane? Israeli vahe kinima mani'neana hago Nagra azeri atre'noe. Hagi pazivepi olivi masavena taginka e'nerinka, Betlehemu Jesi nagatega vuo. Na'ankure Nagra agri mofavre nagapinti mago'mofo kinia manigahie hu'na huhamprinte'noe.

Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself.”

2 Anage higeno Samueli'a huno, Soli'a nahe frigahianki nagra inankna hu'na vugahue? Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Anenta onte'ne'nia a' bulimakao mago avrenenka vunka, Ra Anumzamofontega kresramana vuku neoe hunka ome huo.

“How can I go?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear of it and kill me!” The LORD answered, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’

3 Hagi ome kre sramanama vanantera Jesina hugeno ena, Nagri eri'zama erisia mofavre'a kaveri ha'nena masavena taginka frentenka huhamprinto.

Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you are to do. You are to anoint for Me the one I indicate.”

4 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia kante anteno Samueli'a Betlehemu nevige'za, ana kumate kva vahe'mo'za tutagiha'ma hunente'za antri nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Kagra tarimpa fru naneke erinka neano?

So Samuel did what the LORD had said and went to Bethlehem. When the elders of the town met him, they trembled and asked, “Do you come in peace?”

5 Anage hu'za antahigazageno Samueli'a huno, izo nagra Ra Anumzamofontega kresramana vuntenaku neoe. Hagi tamagra'a tamazeri agru nehuta, nagrane enketa kresramana vamaneno, nehuno Samueli'a Jesine mofavrezaga'a zamazeri agru nehuno zamagi hige'za kresramna vutera e'naze.

“In peace,” he replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

6 Hagi anama hute'za Jesi'ene mofavre naga'ama azageno'a, kotamofo Eliabuma negeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a tamage huno amamofo huhamprine huno Samueli'a antahi'ne.

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”

7 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne, Amega avufgare'ene za'za'ma huno hentofazama hu'nenia zantera, kenka huhampri onto. Na'ankure nagra agrira huhampri onte'noe. Hagi Nagra vahe'ma huhamprima nezmantoana, vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'na amega zmavufgarera nege'na hunohampruanki, zamagu'are nege'na hunehamprue.

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”

8 Anage higeno Jesi'a anante'mofo Aminadapu huntegeno Samueli avuga e'ne. Hianagi Samueli'a huno, Amamofonena Ra Anumzamo'a huhampri onte'ne.

Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”

9 Anage higeno Jesi'a mago mofavre'a Sama huntegeno Samueli avuga e'neanagi Samueli'a huno, amamofonena Ra Anumzamo'a huhampri onte'ne.

Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”

10 Higeno Jesi'a 7ni'a mofavre zaga'a kea hige'za Samueli avuga e'nazanagi Samueli'a Jesina asamino, Ra Anumzamo'a ama anampintira mago'mofona huhampri onte'ne.

Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The LORD has not chosen any of these.”

11 Hagi anante Samueli'a Jesina anage huno antahige'ne, Ama'age mofavreka'a mani'nafi mago'a omani'nazo? Huno antahigegeno Jesi'a huno, magora amitena mofavrea mani'neanagi sipisipi afu kva huno mani'ne huno asamigeno Samueli'a huno, Ne'zana one otiteta mani'nenunanki mago'a vahe huzamantege'za vu'za ome avre'za eho.

And Samuel asked him, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied, “but he is tending the sheep.” “Send for him,” Samuel replied. “For we will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

12 Higeno vahera huzamantege'za vu'za ome avre'za azageno, ke'neana hentofa vahekino avurgamo rumsa huno anefa hu'ne. Anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, e'ina neki masavena taginka frenentenka huhamprinto.

So Jesse sent for his youngest son and brought him in. He was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him, for he is the one.”

13 Ana higeno Samueli'a afuhe'mofo zamavufi ana pazive erino masavena tagino frenenteno huhamprinte'ne. Hagi ana knareti'ma e'neana Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a hanave'ane Devitintera emani'neno agrane maka kna manino e'ne. Hagi anama Samueli'a huteno'a ete Rama kuma'arega vu'ne.

So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.

14 Hagi anama hutegeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a Solina atreno vigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno Soli agu'afina efreno antahintahi'a azeri haviza nehigeno koro hu'ne.

After the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.

15 Hagi Solina eri'za vahe'amo'za asami'za, Antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno kazeri haviza nehie.

Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.

16 Hagi rantimoka eri'za vahe'kama amama kavugama oti'nonana hurantegeta hapue nehaza zavenama ahe vaheku ome haketa avreta amneno. Hagi inanknarero Ra Anumzamo'ma havi avamu'ma huntesigeno ena ana vahe'mo'za zavena nehehanagenka knarera hugahane.

Let our lord command your servants here to seek out someone who can skillfully play the harp. Whenever the spirit of distress from God is upon you, he is to play it, and you will be well.”

17 Higeno Soli'a eri'za vahe'a huzmanteno, Vuta hapu zavenama knare'ma hu'za nehesaza vahe ome haketa avreta eho.

And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”

18 Higeno mago eri'za ne'mo'a kenona huno, Mago Betlehemu ne' Jesi nagapinti risera ke'noana knare huno hapue nehaza zavena nehege'na ke'noe. Hagi agra hentofa agi agonane nekino, koro osu harafa ne' mani'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a mani'ne.

One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a mighty man of valor, a warrior, eloquent and handsome, and the LORD is with him.”

19 Anante Soli'a kato vahera huzmanteno, Jesina ome asaminkeno ne' mofavre'a Devitina huntenkeno sipisipi kvama huno mani'neregatira atreno nagritega eno.

So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”

20 Higeno Jesi'a donki afu agumpi bretine, waini tintafenena erinenteno, mago agaho sipisipinena avrenenteno huzmantege'za Devitinena avre'za Solintega vu'naze.

And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat, and sent them to Saul with his son David.

21 Hagi Deviti'a Soli eri'za agafa huno emerigeno, Soli'a tusiza huno avesinentegeno, agra Solina hanko'ama eri eri'za vahe mani'ne.

When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul admired him greatly, and David became his armor-bearer.

22 Hagi Soli'a Jesina ke atrenteno, Muse hugantoanki atregeno Deviti'a nagri eri'za vahe manino. Na'ankure agra knare huno eri'zana erige'na muse huntoe.

Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”

23 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma havi avamu'ma huntegeno Solinte'ma egeno'a, Deviti'a hapu zavena'a erino eme nehegeno, Soli'a nentahino ete knare antahi'zana e'nerigeno, havi avamu'mo'a atreno nefre.

And whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would pick up his harp and play, and Saul would become well, and the spirit of distress would depart from him.
