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.
And he said Yahweh to Samuel until when? [are] you mourning to Saul and I I have rejected him from reigning over Israel fill horn your oil and go I will send you to Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite for I have seen among sons his for myself a king.
2 Samweli akasema, “Jinsi gani nitaenda? Kama Sauli akisikia jambo hili, ataniua.” BWANA akasema, “chukua mtamba na useme, 'Nimekuja kutoa dhabihu kwa BWANA.'
And he said Samuel how? will I go and he will hear Saul and he will kill me. And he said Yahweh a heifer of cattle you will take in hand your and you will say to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come.
3 Umwite Yese aje kwenye dhabihu, nami nitakuonesha kile utakachofanya. Utamtia mafuta kwa ajili yangu yule nitakaye kuambia.”
And you will invite Jesse at the sacrifice and I I will make known to you [that] which you will do and you will anoint for me [the one] whom I will say to you.
4 Samweli akafanya kama BWANA alivyosema na akaenda Bethlehemu. Wazee wa mji walikuwa wakitetemeka walipokuja kuonana naye na wakasema, “Je, umekuja kwa amani?”
And he did Samuel [that] which he said Yahweh and he came Beth-lehem and they trembled [the] elders of the city to meet him and someone said [in] peace [are] coming? you.
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.
And he said - peace to sacrifice to Yahweh I have come consecrate yourselves and you will come with me at the sacrifice and he consecrated Jesse and sons his and he invited them to the sacrifice.
6 Walipofika, akamwangalia Eliabu na akajisemea mwenyewe kwamba mtiwa mafuta wa BWANA hakika amesimama mbele yake.
And it was when came they and he saw Eliab and he said surely [is] before Yahweh anointed his.
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.”
And he said Yahweh to Samuel may not you look to appearance his and to [the] height of stature his for I have rejected him for - not [that] which he sees man for man he sees to the eyes and Yahweh he sees to the heart.
8 Kisha Yese akamwita Abinadabu akamwambia apite mbele ya Samweli. Na Samweli akasema, “Hata huyu BWANA hakumchagua.”
And he called Jesse to Abinadab and he made pass by him before Samuel and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.
9 Kisha Yese akmwambia Shama apite karibu. Na Samweli akasema, “Hata huyu BWANA hakumchagua.”
And he made pass by Jesse Shammah and he said also this one not he has chosen Yahweh.
10 Yese akawaleta watoto wake saba wakapita mbele ya Samweli. Na Samweli akamwambia Yese, “Hakuna hata mmoja aliyechaguliwa na BWANA kati ya hawa.”
And he made pass by Jesse seven of sons his before Samuel and he said Samuel to Jesse not he has chosen Yahweh these.
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.”
And he said Samuel to Jesse ¿ are they finished the young men and he said still he remains the young [one] and there! [he is] shepherding the flock and he said Samuel to Jesse send! and bring him for not we will turn round until comes he here.
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.”
And he sent and he brought him and he [was] red with beautiful of eyes and good of appearance. And he said Yahweh arise anoint him for this [is] he.
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.
And he took Samuel [the] horn of oil and he anointed him in [the] midst of brothers his and it rushed [the] spirit of Yahweh to David from the day that and on-wards and he arose Samuel and he went Ramah towards.
14 Basi Roho wa BWANA akamwacha Sauli, badala yake roho ya ubaya kutoka kwa BWANA ikamsumbua.
And [the] spirit of Yahweh it departed from with Saul and it terrified him a spirit evil from with Yahweh.
15 Watumishi wa Sauli wakamwambia, “Tazama, roho ya ubaya kutoka kwa Mungu inakusumbua.
And they said [the] servants of Saul to him here! please a spirit of God evil [is] terrifying you.
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.”
Let him say please lord our servants your before you let them seek a person [who] knows playing on the harp and it will be when is on you a spirit of God evil and he will play with hand his and good [will belong] to you.
17 Sauli akawaambia watumishi wake, “Mnitafutie mtu anayeweza kupiga vizuri na mmlete kwangu.”
And he said Saul to servants his see please for me a person [who] does well to play and you will bring [him] to me.
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.”
And he answered one from the young men and he said here! I have seen a son of Jesse [the] Beth-lehemite [who] knows to play and a mighty [man] of strength and a man of war and [one] discerning of word and a man of form and Yahweh [is] with him.
19 Hivyo Sauli akawatuma wajumbe kwa Yese, na kusema, “Nitumie mtoto wako Daudi, anayewatunza kondoo.” 1 Samweli! 6: 20-21
And he sent Saul messengers to Jesse and he said send! to me David son your who [is] with the flock.
20 Yese akamchukua punda aliyebeba mikate, na kiriba cha divai, na mwana-mbuzi, na akamtuma kwa Sauli pamoja na vitu hivyo.
And he took Jesse a donkey bread and a skin-bottle of wine and a kid of goats one and he sent [them] by [the] hand of David son his to Saul.
21 Ndipo Daudi akafika kwa Sauli na kuanza kazi yake. Sauli alimpenda sana Daudi, na akawa mbeba silaha wake.
And he came David to Saul and he stood before him and he loved him exceedingly and he was of him bearer of armor.
22 Sauli akawatuma wajumbe kwa Yese, akisema, “Mruhusu Daudi awe mbele yangu, maana amepata kibali machoni pangu.”
And he sent Saul to Jesse saying let him stand please David before me for he has found favor in view my.
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.
And it was when was a spirit of God to Saul and he took David the harp and he played with hand his and it was relief to Saul and good [belonged] to him and it departed from on him [the] spirit of evil.
