< 1 Samueri 16 >

1 Jehovha akati kuna Samueri, “Uchasvika riniko uchichema Sauro, sezvo ini ndakamuramba kuti asava mambo wavaIsraeri? Zadza gonamombe rako namafuta ugopinda munzira yako; ndiri kukutuma kuna Jese wokuBheterehema. Ndasarudza mumwe wavanakomana vake kuti ave mambo.”
耶和华对撒母耳说:“我既厌弃扫罗作以色列的王,你为他悲伤要到几时呢?你将膏油盛满了角,我差遣你往伯利恒人耶西那里去;因为我在他众子之内,预定一个作王的。”
2 Asi Samueri akati, “Ndingaenda seiko? Sauro achanzwa nezvazvo akandiuraya.” Jehovha akati, “Tora tsiru uende naro ugondoti, ‘Ndauya kuzobayira kuna Jehovha.’
撒母耳说:“我怎能去呢?扫罗若听见,必要杀我。”耶和华说:“你可以带一只牛犊去,就说:‘我来是要向耶和华献祭。’
3 Ukoke Jese kuti auye kuchibayiro, uye ini ndichakuratidza zvokuita. Unofanira kundizodzera uyo wandichakuratidza.”
你要请耶西来吃祭肉,我就指示你所当行的事。我所指给你的人,你要膏他。”
4 Samueri akaita zvakataurwa naJehovha. Akati asvika kuBheterehema, vakuru vomusha vakadedera pavakasangana naye. Vakamubvunza vakati, “Mauya norugare here?”
撒母耳就照耶和华的话去行。到了伯利恒,那城里的长老都战战兢兢地出来迎接他,问他说:“你是为平安来的吗?”
5 Samueri akati, “Hongu, ndauya norugare; ndauya kuzobayira kuna Jehovha. Zvinatsei mugoenda neni kuchibayiro.” Ipapo akanatsa Jese navanakomana vake akavakoka kuti vauye kuchibayiro.
他说:“为平安来的,我是给耶和华献祭。你们当自洁,来与我同吃祭肉。”撒母耳就使耶西和他众子自洁,请他们来吃祭肉。
6 Vakati vasvika, Samueri akaona Eriabhi akafunga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo muzodziwa waJehovha ndiye amire pano pamberi paJehovha.”
他们来的时候,撒母耳看见以 利押,就心里说,耶和华的受膏者必定在他面前。
7 Asi Jehovha akati kuna Samueri, “Rega kutarira chiso chake kana mumhu wake, nokuti ndamuramba. Jehovha haatarisi zvinhu zvinoonekwa navanhu. Munhu anotarisa zviri kunze, asi Jehovha anotarisa pamwoyo.”
耶和华却对撒母耳说:“不要看他的外貌和他身材高大,我不拣选他。因为,耶和华不像人看人:人是看外貌;耶和华是看内心。”
8 Ipapo Jese akadana Abhinadhabhi akaita kuti apfuure napamberi paSamueri. Asi Samueri akati, “Jehovha haana kusarudza uyuwo.”
耶西叫亚比拿达从撒母耳面前经过,撒母耳说:“耶和华也不拣选他。”
9 Jese akaita kuti Shama apfuure napo, asi Samueri akati, “Nouyu haana kusarudzwa naJehovha.”
耶西又叫沙玛从撒母耳面前经过,撒母耳说:“耶和华也不拣选他。”
10 Jese akaita kuti vanakomana vake vanomwe vapfuure napamberi paSamueri, asi Samueri akati kwaari, “Jehovha haana kusarudza ava.”
耶西叫他七个儿子都从撒母耳面前经过,撒母耳说:“这都不是耶和华所拣选的。”
11 Saka akabvunza Jese akati, “Ava ndivo vose vanakomana vaunavo here?” Jese akapindura akati, “Kuchino mumwe muduku kuna vose, asi ari kufudza makwai.” Samueri akati, “Tuma munhu kwaari; hatingagari pasi kusvikira asvika pano.”
撒母耳对耶西说:“你的儿子都在这里吗?”他回答说:“还有个小的,现在放羊。”撒母耳对耶西说:“你打发人去叫他来;他若不来,我们必不坐席。”
12 Saka akatuma munhu kuti andouya naye. Akanga ari mutsvuku, ane chiso chakaisvonaka nechimiro chakanaka. Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Simuka umuzodze, nokuti ndiyeyu.”
耶西就打发人去叫了他来。他面色光红,双目清秀,容貌俊美。耶和华说:“这就是他,你起来膏他。”
13 Saka Samueri akatora gonamombe ramafuta akamuzodza pamberi pamadzikoma ake, uye kubva pazuva iroro Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro paDhavhidhi nesimba. Ipapo Samueri akaenda kuRama.
撒母耳就用角里的膏油,在他诸兄中膏了他。从这日起,耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫。撒母耳起身回拉玛去了。
14 Zvino Mweya waJehovha wakanga wabva pana Sauro, uye mweya wakaipa wakabva kuna Jehovha ukamutambudza.
耶和华的灵离开扫罗,有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他。
15 Varanda vaSauro vakati kwaari, “Tarirai mweya wakaipa unobva kuna Mwari unokutambudzai.
扫罗的臣仆对他说:“现在有恶魔从 神那里来扰乱你。
16 Ishe ngaarayire varanda vake vari pano kuti vatsvake mumwe munhu anogona kuridza mbira. Acharidza kana mweya wakaipa unobva kuna Mwari wauya pamusoro penyu, uye imi muchanzwa zviri nani.”
我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆,找一个善于弹琴的来,等 神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候,使他用手弹琴,你就好了。”
17 Saka Sauro akati kuvaranda vake, “Tsvakai munhu anogona kuridza zvakanaka muuye naye kwandiri.”
扫罗对臣仆说:“你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的,带到我这里来。”
18 Mumwe wavaranda akapindura akati, “Ndaona mwanakomana waJese wokuBheterehema anoziva kuridza mbira. Murume asingatyi uye murwi. Anogona kutaura zvakanaka uye munhu akaisvonaka. Uye Jehovha anaye.”
其中有一个少年人说:“我曾见伯利恒人耶西的一个儿子善于弹琴,是大有勇敢的战士,说话合宜,容貌俊美,耶和华也与他同在。”
19 Ipapo Sauro akatuma nhume kuna Jese akati, “Nditumirewo mwanakomana wako Dhavhidhi, uyo ari kumakwai.”
于是扫罗差遣使者去见耶西,说:“请你打发你放羊的儿子大卫到我这里来。”
20 Saka Jese akatora mbongoro akaitakudza chingwa, guchu rewaini nembudzana akazvitumira kuna Sauro naDhavhidhi mwanakomana wake.
耶西就把几个饼和一皮袋酒,并一只山羊羔,都驮在驴上,交给他儿子大卫,送与扫罗。
21 Dhavhidhi akasvika kuna Sauro akapinda kundomushandira. Sauro akamuda kwazvo, uye Dhavhidhi akava mumwe wavatakuri venhumbi dzake dzokurwa.
大卫到了扫罗那里,就侍立在扫罗面前。扫罗甚喜爱他,他就作了扫罗拿兵器的人。
22 Ipapo Sauro akatuma shoko kuna Jese, achiti, “Tendera Dhavhidhi kuti andishandire, nokuti ndinofadzwa naye.”
扫罗差遣人去见耶西,说:“求你容大卫侍立在我面前,因为他在我眼前蒙了恩。”
23 Mweya waibva kuna Mwari waiti wasvika pamusoro paSauro, Dhavhidhi aibva atora mbira dzake oridza. Ipapo Sauro aibva anzwa kusununguka; onzwa zviri nani uye mweya wakaipa wobva wamusiya.
从 神那里来的恶魔临到扫罗身上的时候,大卫就拿琴,用手而弹,扫罗便舒畅爽快,恶魔离了他。
