< Samuu'Eel Kowaad 16 >
1 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, War ilaa goormaad Saa'uul u ooyaysaa, adigoo og inaan u diiday inuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor u ahaado? Haddaba geeskaaga saliid ka buuxso oo tag, waxaan kuu dirayaa Yesay oo ah reer Beytlaxam; waayo, boqor baan wiilashiisa ka dhex doortay.
And the Lord said to Samuel: “How long will you mourn for Saul, though I have rejected him, so that he would not reign over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and approach, so that I may send you to Jesse of Bethlehem. For I have provided a king from among his sons for myself.”
2 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Sidee baan u tegi karaa? Waayo, haddii Saa'uul taas maqlo wuu i dili doonaa. Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad kaxaysataa qaalin lo' ah, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Waxaan u imid inaan Rabbiga allabari u bixiyo.
And Samuel said: “How shall I go? For Saul will hear of it, and he will put me to death.” And the Lord said: “You shall take, by your hand, a calf from the herd. And you shall say, ‘I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord.’
3 Oo Yesay allabariga ugu yeedh, waanan ku tusi doonaa waxaad samayn doonto; oo waxaad ii subagtaa kii aan kuu magacaabo.
And you shall call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will reveal to you what you should do. And you shall anoint whomever I will indicate to you.”
4 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu Rabbigu kala hadlay ayuu sameeyey, wuxuuna yimid Beytlaxam. Oo odayaashii magaaladuna way ka hor tageen, iyagoo gariiraya, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Nabad ma u timid?
Therefore, Samuel did just as the Lord told him. And he went to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city wondered. And meeting him, they said, “Is your arrival peaceful?”
5 Markaasuu yidhi, Haah, nabad baan u imid, waxaanan u imid inaan Rabbiga allabari u bixiyo. Haddaba isa soo daahiriya, oo kaalaya, meesha allabariga ii raaca. Markaasuu wuxuu daahirshay Yesay iyo wiilashiisii, dabadeedna meeshii allabariga buu ugu yeedhay.
And he said: “It is peaceful. I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord. Be sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.
6 Oo markay yimaadeen wuxuu fiiriyey Elii'aab, oo yidhi, Hubaal kii Rabbigu subkaday ayaa hortiisa jooga.
And when they had entered, he saw Eliab, and he said, “Could he be the Christ in the sight of the Lord?”
7 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Ha fiirin soojeedkiisa, ama dhererkiisa, maxaa yeelay, waan diiday isaga. Rabbigu wax uma arko sida dadku wax u arko, waayo, dadku wuxuu fiiriyaa muuqashada dusha, Rabbiguse qalbiguu fiiriyaa.
And the Lord said to Samuel: “You should not look with favor on his face, nor on the height of his stature. For I have rejected him. Neither do I judge by the appearance of a man. For man sees those things that are apparent, but the Lord beholds the heart.”
8 Markaasaa Yesay u yeedhay Abiinaadaab, oo soo mariyey Samuu'eel hortiisa, Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu kanna ma uu dooran.
And Jesse called Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
9 Oo haddana Yesay wuu soo hor mariyey Shammaah. Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu kanna ma dooran.
Then Jesse brought Shammah. And he said about him, “And the Lord has not chosen this one.”
10 Yesayna wuxuu Samuu'eel soo hor mariyey toddoba wiilashiisii ka mid ah. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, Rabbigu kuwan ma dooran.
And so Jesse brought his seven sons before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
11 Samuu'eelna wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, War carruurtaadii halkan ma wada joogaan? Markaasuu yidhi, Weli waxaa hadhay kii ugu yaraa, oo idahuu ilaalinayaa. Oo haddana Samuu'eel wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, Cid u dir oo keen; waayo, innagu fadhiisan mayno jeeruu halkan yimaado.
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Could the sons now be completed?” But he responded, “There still remains a little one, and he pastures the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse: “Send and bring him. For we shall not recline to eat, until he arrives here.”
12 Markaasuu u cid diray, oo soo geliyey. Oo isna wuxuu ahaa mid cas, oo soojeed qurxoon, oo midabkiisuna aad u wanaagsan yahay. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Kac, oo subag, waayo, kanu waa isagii.
Therefore, he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy, and beautiful to behold, and with a stately face. And the Lord said, “Rise up, anoint him! For it is he.”
13 Markaasaa Samuu'eel qaaday geeskii saliiddu ku jirtay, wuuna ku subkay isagoo walaalihiis dhex jooga; oo maalintaas intii ka dambaysay Ruuxii Rabbigu aad buu ugu soo degay Daa'uud. Dabadeedna Samuu'eel wuu kacay, oo Raamaah buu tegey.
Therefore, Samuel took the horn of oil, and he anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord was guiding David from that day and thereafter. And Samuel rose up, and he went away to Ramah.
14 Haddaba Ruuxii Rabbigu Saa'uul wuu ka tegey, oo ruux shar leh oo xagga Rabbiga ka yimid ayaa dhibay isagii.
But the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from Saul, and a wicked spirit from the Lord disturbed him.
15 Markaasaa Saa'uul addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, haatan waxaa ku dhibaya ruux shar leh oo xagga Ilaah ka yimid.
And the servants of Saul said to him: “Behold, an evil spirit from God disturbs you.
16 Sayidkayagow, nagu amar annagoo ah addoommadaada ku hor jooga inaannu kuu doondoonno nin aad kataaradda u yaqaan; oo markuu ruuxa sharka leh ee xagga Ilaah ka yimid kugu soo dego, ayuu kataaradda garaaci doonaa, waanad bogsan doontaa.
May our lord order, and your servants, who are before you, will seek a man skillful in playing a stringed instrument, so that when the evil spirit from the Lord assails you, he may play with his hand, and you may bear it more easily.”
17 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Ii doona nin aad u yaqaan, oo ii keena.
And Saul said to his servants, “Then provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me.”
18 Dabadeedna raggii dhallinyarada ahaa midkood ayaa ku jawaabay oo yidhi, Waxaan arkay Yesayga reer Beytlaxam wiil uu dhalay oo aad u yaqaan sida kataaradda lagu dhufto oo ah nin xoog leh oo dagaalyahan ah, codkarna ah, oo suurad qurxoon, oo weliba Rabbiguna wuu la jiraa.
And one of the servants, responding, said: “Behold, I have seen the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, a skillful player, and very strong and robust, a man fit for war, and prudent in words, a handsome man. And the Lord is with him.”
19 Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wargeeyayaal buu u diray Yesay oo ku yidhi, Wiilkaaga Daa'uud oo idaha ilaalinaya ii soo dir.
Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, “Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures.”
20 Markaasaa Yesay wuxuu soo kexeeyey dameer ku raran kibis iyo sibraar khamri ah, iyo orgi yar, oo Saa'uul buu u diray. Wuxuuna ugu sii dhiibay wiilkiisii Daa'uud.
And so, Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid from one of the goats, and he sent them, by the hand of his son David, to Saul.
21 Markaasaa Daa'uud Saa'uul u yimid, oo hortiisuu soo istaagay, oo isna aad buu u jeclaaday Daa'uud, oo wuxuu Saa'uul u noqday kii hubka u siday.
And David went to Saul, and stood before him. And he loved him exceedingly, and he made him his armor bearer.
22 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul farriin u diray Yesay oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ii daa Daa'uud, hortayda ha joogee, waayo, isagu aad buu iiga farxiyey.
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: “Let David remain before my sight. For he has found favor in my eyes.”
23 Oo markuu ruuxii sharka lahaa ee xagga Ilaah ka yimid Saa'uul ku soo degay ayaa Daa'uud qaatay kataaraddiisii, oo garaacay, dabadeedna Saa'uul wuu qaboobay, wuuna bogsaday, oo ruuxii sharka lahaana waa ka tegey.
And so, whenever the evil spirit from the Lord assailed Saul, David took up his stringed instrument, and he struck it with his hand, and Saul was refreshed and uplifted. For the evil spirit withdrew from him.
