1 USamuyeli 16
1 Uthixo wathi kuSamuyeli, “Koze kube nini ulilela uSawuli, lokhu mina ngimalile ekubeni yinkosi yako-Israyeli? Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha uhambe; ngiyakuthuma kuJese eBhethilehema. Sengikhethe enye yamadodana akhe ukuba yinkosi.”
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.”
2 Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Ngingahamba kanjani na? USawuli uzakuzwa ngakho angibulale.” Uthixo wathi, “Thatha ithokazi uhambe lalo uthi, ‘Ngilande ukuzahlabela uThixo.’
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.
3 Biza uJese eze emhlatshelweni, mina ngizakutshengisa ozakwenza. Uzangigcobela lowo engizamphawula.”
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.”
4 USamuyeli wenza lokho okwakutshiwo nguThixo. Kwathi efika eBhethilehema abadala bomuzi bamhlangabeza beqhaqhazela. Bambuza bathi, “Uza ngokuthula na?”
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?”
5 USamuyeli waphendula wathi, “Ye, ngokuthula; ngilande ukuzanikela umhlatshelo kuThixo. Zingcweliseni lihambe lami emhlatshelweni.” Emva kwalokho wangcwelisa uJese lamadodana akhe wasebabizela emhlatshelweni.
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.
6 Ekufikeni kwabo uSamuyeli wabona u-Eliyabi wacabanga wathi, “Impela ogcotshiweyo kaThixo umi lapha phambi kukaThixo.”
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.”
7 Kodwa uThixo wathi kuSamuyeli, “Ungakhangeli isimo sakhe loba ubude bakhe, ngoba ngimalile. Uthixo kakhangeli izinto ezikhangelwa ngabantu. Abantu bakhangela isimo somuntu, kodwa uThixo ukhangela inhliziyo.”
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.”
8 UJese wabiza u-Abhinadabi wamdlulisa phambi kukaSamuyeli. Kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Lalo uThixo kamkhethanga.”
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.”
9 UJese wedlulisa uShama eduzane, kodwa uSamuyeli wathi, “Layenalo uThixo kamkhethanga.”
Na Jesse el usalu Shammah. Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mo, LEUM GOD El tia pac sulella el an.”
10 UJese wadlulisa amadodana akhe ayisikhombisa phambi kukaSamuyeli, kodwa uSamuyeli wathi kuye, “Laba uThixo kabakhethanga.”
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.”
11 Ngakho wabuza uJese wathi, “La yiwo wonke amadodana olawo na?” UJese waphendula wathi, “Kusekhona encinyane, kodwa yelusa izimvu.” USamuyeli wathi, “Thuma omunye ayembiza; kasiyikuhlala phansi aze afike.”
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.”
12 Ngakho wathuma omunye wayalethwa. Wayebomvana, ebukeka njalo elesimo esihle. Uthixo wasesithi, “Sukuma umgcobe; nguye.”
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!”
13 Ngakho uSamuyeli wathatha uphondo lwamafutha wamgcoba labanewabo bekhona; njalo kusukela ngalelolanga kusiya phambili, uMoya kaThixo wafika kuDavida ulamandla. Emva kwalokho uSamuyeli waya eRama.
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.
14 Ngalesosikhathi uMoya kaThixo wawususukile kuSawuli, umoya omubi owavela kuThixo usumhlukuluza.
Inge ngun lun LEUM GOD wanginla lukel Saul, ac sie ngun koluk sin LEUM GOD aklokoalokyal.
15 Izinceku zikaSawuli zathi kuye, “Khangela, umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu uyakuhlukuluza.
Mwet kulansap lal Saul elos fahk nu sel, “Kut etu tuh sie ngun koluk sin God pa aklokoalokye kom uh.
16 Akuthi inkosi yethu ilaye izinceku zayo ezilapha ukuba ziyidingele umuntu okwaziyo ukutshaya ichacho. Uzalitshaya lapho umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu ufika kuwe; uzakuzwa ngcono.”
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.”
17 Ngakho uSawuli wathi ezincekwini zakhe, “Dingani umuntu otshaya kuhle limlethe kimi.”
Saul el sapkin nu selos, “Sokma sie mwet sumat ke srital, ac usalu nu yuruk.”
18 Enye yezinceku zakhe yaphendula yathi, “Ngibone indodana kaJese waseBhethilehema ekwaziyo ukutshaya ichacho. Iyindoda elesibindi elibutho futhi. Ikhuluma kuhle njalo ilijaha elibukekayo. LoThixo uyivikele.”
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.”
19 USawuli wathuma izithunywa kuJese wathi, “Thumela kimi indodana yakho uDavida, owelusa izimvu.”
Ke ma inge Saul el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Jesse, ac elos fahk, “Supwalma David, wen nutum ma liyaung sheep uh.”
20 Ngakho uJese wathatha ubabhemi ethwele izinkwa, umgodla wewayini lezinyane lembuzi wakuthumela lendodana yakhe uDavida kuSawuli.
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.
21 UDavida wafika kuSawuli wangena emsebenzini wakhe uSawuli wamthanda kakhulu, njalo uDavida waba ngomunye wabathwali bezikhali zakhe.
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.
22 USawuli wathumela ilizwi kuJese, elithi, “Vumela uDavida ukuba ahlale emsebenzini wami, ngoba ngiyathokoza ngaye.”
Na Saul el sapla nu sel Jesse ac fahk, “Nga arulana lungse David. Lela elan mutana inge in kulansupweyu.”
23 Kwakusithi umoya omubi ovela kuNkulunkulu ungafika kuSawuli, uDavida athathe ichacho lakhe alitshaye. Lapho-ke uSawuli wayephumula; ezwe ngcono, lomoya omubi usuke kuye.
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.
