Sie Samuel 16
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Kom ac asor kacl Saul nwe ngac? Nga eisalla tari liki wal lun tokosra lun Israel. Inge eis kutu oil in olive ac som nu Bethlehem nu yurin mwet se pangpang Jesse, mweyen nga sulela sie sin wen natul tuh elan tokosra.”
And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among his sons.
2 Ac Samuel el siyuk, “Nga ac oru fuka? Saul el fin lohngak el ac uniyuwi!” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Eis soko cow fusr, ac kom fah fahk mu kom tuku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.
And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.
3 Kom fah solal Jesse nu ke kisa uh, ac nga ac fah fahk ma kom in oru. Kom ac fah mosrwela mwet se nga ac fahk nu sum uh tuh elan tokosra.”
And send for Jesse to be present at the offering, and I will make clear to you what you are to do: and you are to put the holy oil on him whose name I give you.
4 Samuel el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ac el som nu Bethlehem. Mwet kol in siti sac elos rarrar ke elos tuku in osun nu sel Samuel, ac elos siyuk sel, “Ku tuku se lom inge tuku ke misla?”
And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?
5 Ac Samuel el fahk, “Aok, nga tuku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD. Kowos sifacna aknasnasye kowos, ac fahsru wiyu.” El oayapa fahk nu sel Jesse ac wen ekasr natul elos in aknasnasyalosla, ac el solalos nu ke kisa uh.
And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.
6 Ke elos sun acn sac, Samuel el ngetang liyal Eliab, sie sin wen natul Jesse, ac el sifacna nunku insial, “Pwaye lah mwet se inge su tu ye mutun LEUM GOD, pa mwet se God El sulela.”
Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.
7 A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nik kom lohang nu ke fulatal ku lumahl. Nga tia eisal, mweyen ouiyen sulela luk uh tia oana ouiyen sulela lun mwet uh. Mwet uh elos liye luku, a nga liye insien mwet uh.”
But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.
8 Na Jesse el pangnol Abinadab, sie pac sin wen natul, ac pwanulak nu yorol Samuel. Tusruktu Samuel el fahk, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tia pac sulella el an.”
Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
9 Na Jesse el usalu Shammah. Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tia pac sulella el an.”
Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
10 In lumah se na inge, Jesse el use wen itkosr natul nu yorol Samuel. Ac Samuel el fahk nu sel, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tiana sulela sie selos.”
And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.
11 Na Samuel el siyuk sel Jesse, “Oasr pac wen lula nutum?” Jesse el topuk, “Wen se ma fusr emeet pa lula, tuh el muta liyaung sheep uh inimae.” Ac Samuel el fahk, “Solalma elan tuku. Kut ac fah tia oru kisa nwe ke na el tuku.”
Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.
12 Na Jesse el sapla solalma David. El sie mwet fusr fokoko ac oasku, ac atronmutal saromrom. LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel, “Pa inge mwet sac. Tuyak ac mosrwella!”
So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
13 Samuel el eis oil in olive ac mosrwella David ye mutun tamulel lal. In kitin pacl ah na ngun lun LEUM GOD tuku ke ku nu facl David, ac welul in len sac fahla. Na Samuel el folokla nu Ramah.
Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
14 Inge ngun lun LEUM GOD wanginla lukel Saul, ac sie ngun koluk sin LEUM GOD aklokoalokyal.
Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
15 Mwet kulansap lal Saul elos fahk nu sel, “Kut etu tuh sie ngun koluk sin God pa aklokoalokye kom uh.
And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16 Leuwa, supwekut tuh kut in suk sie mwet ma etu srital ke harp, tuh ke pacl se ngun koluk se inge ac utyak nu in kom, mwet sac fah srital ke harp natul, na ac fah akinsewowoye kom.”
Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.
17 Saul el sapkin nu selos, “Sokma sie mwet sumat ke srital, ac usalu nu yuruk.”
And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.
18 Sie sin mwet kulansap lal ah fahk nu sel, “Oasr wen se natul Jesse mwet Bethlehem, ac nga liye el arulana etu srital ke mwe on. El sie mukul pulaik ac wo lumahl, el sie mwet etu mweun ac el lalmwetmet ke sramsram. LEUM GOD El welul.”
Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.
19 Ke ma inge Saul el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Jesse, ac elos fahk, “Supwalma David, wen nutum ma liyaung sheep uh.”
So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
20 Na Jesse el supwalla David nu yorol Saul, wi nani fusr soko, ac donkey soko nwanala fintokol ke bread, ac sie pak in neinyuk wain nwanala ke wain.
And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
21 David el tuku nu yorol Saul ac mutawauk in kulansupwal. Saul el arulana lungse el, ac el sulella tuh in el pa mwet se us mwe mweun natul uh.
And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms.
22 Na Saul el sapla nu sel Jesse ac fahk, “Nga arulana lungse David. Lela elan mutana inge in kulansupweyu.”
And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.
23 In pacl sac fahla, pacl nukewa ma ngun koluk se sin God ac utyak nu in Saul, na David el ac eis harp natul ac srital kac. Na ngun koluk sac ac som lukel Saul, ac el ac mongi ac sifilpa wola.
And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
