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 It long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

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 shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt 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 Isai to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou art to do, and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall shew 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?

Then Samuel did as the Lord had said to him. And he came to Bethlehem, and the ancients of the city wondered, and meeting him, they said: Is thy coming hither peaceable?

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: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and 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 when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord’s anointed 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.

And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth 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 Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

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 Isai brought Samma, and he said of him: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

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.

Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one 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 said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither.

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.

He sent therefore and brought him Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he.

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.

Then 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 rose up, and went to Ramatha.

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.

But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

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

And the servants of Saul said to him: Behold now an evil spirit from God troubleth 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 our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee will seek out a man skillful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayest bear it more easily.

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: Provide me then some man that can play 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.

And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai the Bethlehemite, a skillful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: 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.

Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David thy son, who is in the pastures.

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

And Isai took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid of the flock, and sent them by the hand of David his son 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 came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer.

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 Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight.

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.

So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him.
