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 Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king 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 shall I go? if Saul hear [it], he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah.

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 call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will tell thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

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 what Jehovah said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably?

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, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Hallow yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he hallowed Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

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.”

And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed 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 Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon 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 called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen 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 pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen 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 seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen 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.”

And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither.

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!”

And he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy, and besides of a lovely countenance and beautiful appearance. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint 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.

And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

14 Inge ngun lun LEUM GOD wanginla lukel Saul, ac sie ngun koluk sin LEUM GOD aklokoalokyal.

And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled 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, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles thee.

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.”

Let our lord now speak; thy servants are before thee: they shall seek out a man, a skilful player on a harp; and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

17 Saul el sapkin nu selos, “Sokma sie mwet sumat ke srital, ac usalu nu yuruk.”

And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him 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.”

And one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing, and he is a valiant man and a man of war, and skilled in speech, and of good presence, and Jehovah 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.”

Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David thy son, 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 an ass with bread, and a flask of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son to Saul.

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, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.

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, I pray thee, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.

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