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.

And the Lord said to Samuel, How long dost thou mourn for Saul, whereas I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil, and come, I will send thee to Jessae, to Bethleem; for I have seen among his sons a king for me.

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.

And Samuel said, How can I go? whereas Saul will hear of it, and slay me: and the Lord said, Take a heifer in thine hand and thou shall say, I am 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.

And thou shalt call Jessae to the sacrifice, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall mention to thee.

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?

And Samuel did all that the Lord told him; and he came to Bethleem: and the elders of the city were amazed at meeting him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably, thou Seer?

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.

And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify yourselves, and rejoice with me this day: and he sanctified Jessae and his sons, and he called 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.

And it came to pass when they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed [is] before him.

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, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at 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.

And Jessae called Aminadab, and he passed before Samuel: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.

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

And Jessae caused Sama to pass by: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.

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.

And Jessae caused his seven sons to pass before Samuel: and Samuel said, the Lord has not chosen 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 said to Jessae, Hast thou no more sons? And Jessae said, [There is] yet a little one; behold, he tends the flock. And Samuel said to Jessae, Send and fetch him for we may not sit down till he comes.

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.

And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.

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.

And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel arose, and departed to Armathaim.

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.

And the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.

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

And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments thee.

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 now thy servants speak before thee, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp; and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon thee and he shall play on his harp, that thou shalt be well, and he shall refresh thee.

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

And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skilful player, 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.

And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he understands playing [on the harp], and the man [is] prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man [is] 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.

And Saul sent messengers to Jessae, saying, Send to me thy son David who is with thy flock.

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

And Jessae took a homer of bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.

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.

And David went in to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-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.

And Saul sent to Jessae, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.

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 it came to pass when the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took his harp, and played with his hand: and Saul was refreshed, and [it was] well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.
