1 Samweli 16
1 BWANA akamwambia Samweli, “Utamlilia Sauli kwa muda gani, ikiwa nimemkataa asiwe mfalme juu ya Israeli? Ijaze pembe yako mafuta na uende. Nitakutuma kwa Yese akaaye Bethlehemu, maana nimejichagulia mfalme katika wanawe.
BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “Saul ham te me hil nim na nguek na coi ve? Israel manghai lamloh anih te ka hnawt coeng. Na ki situi than lamtah cet laeh. A ca rhoek khui lamkah te kamah kah manghai la ka hmuh coeng dongah Bethlehem Jesse taengla nang kan tueih coeng,” a ti nah.
2 Samweli akasema, “Jinsi gani nitaenda? Kama Sauli akisikia jambo hili, ataniua.” BWANA akasema, “chukua mtamba na useme, 'Nimekuja kutoa dhabihu kwa BWANA.'
Tedae Samuel loh, “Metlam ka caeh eh? Saul loh a yaak vetih kai n'ngawn ni ta,” a ti nah. BOEIPA loh, “Saelhung khuikah vaitola te na kut dongah khuen lamtah, 'BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla ka pawk coeng,” ti nah.
3 Umwite Yese aje kwenye dhabihu, nami nitakuonesha kile utakachofanya. Utamtia mafuta kwa ajili yangu yule nitakaye kuambia.”
Tedae, “Hmueih vaengah Jesse te khue lamtah na saii ham te kai loh kan tueng vetih nang taengah, 'Anih ka ti,’ te kai ham hang koelh,” a ti nah.
4 Samweli akafanya kama BWANA alivyosema na akaenda Bethlehemu. Wazee wa mji walikuwa wakitetemeka walipokuja kuonana naye na wakasema, “Je, umekuja kwa amani?”
BOEIPA loh a thui te Samuel loh a saii tih Bethlehem a pha hatah anih doe ham te khopuei ka a hamca rhoek lakueng uh tih, “Sading la na pawk dae a?,” a ti na uh.
5 Naye akasema, “kwa amani; Nimekuja kutoa dhabihu kwa BWANA. Jitoeni wenyewe kwa BWANA kwa ajili ya dhabihu na muandamane nami,” Na akamweka wakfu Yese na watoto wake kwa BWANA, na baadaye aliwaita wote kwenye dhabihu.
Te dongah, “BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla sading la ka pawk coeng. Ciim uh lamtah hmueih ah kai taengla halo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Jesse neh a ca rhoek te a ciim tih amih te hmueih ah a khue.
6 Walipofika, akamwangalia Eliabu na akajisemea mwenyewe kwamba mtiwa mafuta wa BWANA hakika amesimama mbele yake.
A pha vaengah Eliab te a hmuh hatah, “BOEIPA hmaiah amah kah a koelh pawn maco he,” a ti.
7 Lakini BWANA akamwambia Samweli, “Usimwangalie sura yake ya nje, au kimo cha umbo lake; kwa sababu nimemkataa. Maana BWANA haangalii kama mtu aangaliavyo; mtu hutazama sura ya nje, bali BWANA huutazama moyo.”
Tedae BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A mueimae neh a song a sang te paelki boeh. Hlang kah a hmuh bangla a hmuh pawt dongah anih te a hnawt pah. Hlang loh a suisak te a hmuh dae BOEIPA loh a thinko ni a. hmuh,” a ti nah.
8 Kisha Yese akamwita Abinadabu akamwambia apite mbele ya Samweli. Na Samweli akasema, “Hata huyu BWANA hakumchagua.”
Te dongah Jesse loh Abinadab te a khue tih Samuel mikhmuh ah a thak hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
9 Kisha Yese akmwambia Shama apite karibu. Na Samweli akasema, “Hata huyu BWANA hakumchagua.”
Te phoeiah Jesse loh Shammah te athawt hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
10 Yese akawaleta watoto wake saba wakapita mbele ya Samweli. Na Samweli akamwambia Yese, “Hakuna hata mmoja aliyechaguliwa na BWANA kati ya hawa.”
Jesse loh a parhih ca te Samuel hmai ah a thawt coeng dae Jesse te Samuel loh, “Amih te BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
11 Kisha Samweli akamuulia Yese, “Je, watoto wako wote wako hapa?” Naye akajibu, “Yupo mdogo kabisa lakini anachunga kondoo.” Samweli akamwambia Yese, “Tuma watu wakamwite; maana hatutakaa chini hadi atakapofika hapa.”
Te dongah Jesse te Samuel loh, “Camoe rhoek te boeih pawn a?” a ti nah. Tedae, “A noe om pueng dae boiva la a luem puei ke,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Samuel loh Jesse te, “Hlang tueih lamtah anih te loh sak, anih hela ha pawk duela mael uh boel dae sih,” a ti nah.
12 Yese akawatuma watu wakamleta. Naye kijana huyu alikuwa mwekundu na mwenye macho mazuri na mwenye muonekano mzuri. BWANA akasema, “Amka, umtie mafuta; maana huyu ndiye.”
A tah tih ha pawk vaengah anih a lingphung la sakthen mik neh mueihmuh khaw then. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Thoo lamtah anih he BOEIPA amah ham koelh laeh,” a ti nah.
13 Ndipo Samweli akachukua pembe yenye mafuta na kumtia mafuta katikati ya kaka zake. Roho wa BWANA akamwijia Daudi kwa nguvu tangu siku hiyo na kuendelea. Kisha Samweli akanyanyuka na kwenda Rama.
Te daengah Samuel loh situi ki te a loh tih a manuca rhoek kah lakli ah David te a koelh. Te dongah te khohnin lamlong tah BOEIPA kah Mueihla loh David te sarhi a tak tih a so la cungphoek hang. Te phoeiah Samuel te thoo tih Ramah la cet.
14 Basi Roho wa BWANA akamwacha Sauli, badala yake roho ya ubaya kutoka kwa BWANA ikamsumbua.
Tahae ah BOEIPA kah Mueihla tah Saul taeng lamloh nong coeng tih BOEIPA lamkah mueihla thae loh anih te a let sak coeng.
15 Watumishi wa Sauli wakamwambia, “Tazama, roho ya ubaya kutoka kwa Mungu inakusumbua.
Te dongah Saul te a sal rhoek loh, “Pathen kah mueihla thae loh nang n'let sak coeng he.
16 Haya bwana wetu hebu sasa amuru watumishi wako walio mbele yako wamtafute mtu mwenye ujuzi wa kupiga kinubi. Basi ikwa roho wa ubaya kutoka kwa Mungu yuko juu yako, atakipiga kinubi nawe utajisikia vizuri.”
Na mikhmuh kah na sal rhoek taengah ka boeipa loh thui lamtah rhotoeng tum aka ming hlang pakhat te tlam uh saeh. Te daengah ni Pathen kah mueihla thae te nang soah a om a om vaengah a kut neh rhotoeng te a tum vetih nang ham a then eh?,” a ti na uh.
17 Sauli akawaambia watumishi wake, “Mnitafutie mtu anayeweza kupiga vizuri na mmlete kwangu.”
Te dongah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “Kai hamla a tum aka then hlang te so lamtah kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
18 Ndipo kijana mmoja kati yao akajibu, na kusema, “Nimemuona mtoto wa Yese Mbethtelehemu, aliye mjuzi katika kupiga, ni mwenye nguvu, mtu jasiri, mtu wa vita, mwenye busara aongeapo, mtu mzuri kwa uso; na BWANA yuko pamoja naye.”
Te vaengah camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat loh a doo tih, “Bethlehem Jesse capa te ka hmuh dae ta. Anih loh a tum thai tih tatthai hlangrhalh, caemtloek hlang, olka aka yakming, a suisak neh aka om hlang la om tih anih te BOEIPA loh a om puei bal,” a ti nah.
19 Hivyo Sauli akawatuma wajumbe kwa Yese, na kusema, “Nitumie mtoto wako Daudi, anayewatunza kondoo.” 1 Samweli! 6: 20-21
Saul loh Jesse taengla puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih, “Na capa David, boiva taengah aka om te kai taengla han tueih dae,” a ti nah.
20 Yese akamchukua punda aliyebeba mikate, na kiriba cha divai, na mwana-mbuzi, na akamtuma kwa Sauli pamoja na vitu hivyo.
Te dongah Jesse loh laak, vaidam, misur tuitang, maae ca pakhat te a loh tih a capa David kut dongah Saul taengla a pat.
21 Ndipo Daudi akafika kwa Sauli na kuanza kazi yake. Sauli alimpenda sana Daudi, na akawa mbeba silaha wake.
David te Saul taengla a pawk vaengah a mikhmuh ah pai. Te vaengah anih te bahoeng a lungnah dongah anih kah hnopai phuei la pahoi a om sak.
22 Sauli akawatuma wajumbe kwa Yese, akisema, “Mruhusu Daudi awe mbele yangu, maana amepata kibali machoni pangu.”
Te phoeiah Saul loh Jesse taengla hlang a tueih tih, “David he ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithen a dang coeng dongah ka mikhmuh ah om saeh,” a ti nah.
23 Wakati wowote roho ya usumbufu kutoka kwa Mungu ikiwapo juu ya Sauli, Daudi alichukuwa kinubi na kukipiga. Hivyo Sauli angeburudishwa na kupona, na huyo roho wa usumbufu angemtoka.
Pathen kah mueihla loh Saul te a pha tih a om thil takuem vaengah, David loh rhotoeng a loh tih a kut neh a tum pah. Te vaengah Saul dongkah mueihla thae a nong dongah amah khaw hoengpoek tih a then pah.
