1 Samuel 16

1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Samuel, Hanggang kailan pananangisan mo si Saul yamang aking itinakuwil siya na maging hari sa Israel? Punuin mo ng langis ang iyong sungay, at ikaw ay yumaon, susuguin kita kay Isai na Bethlehemita: sapagka't ako'y naglaan sa kaniyang mga anak ng isang hari.

And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”

2 At sinabi ni Samuel, Paanong ako'y paroroon? Kung mabalitaan ni Saul, ay kaniyang papatayin ako. At sinabi ng Panginoon, Magdala ka ng isang dumalagang baka, at iyong sabihin, Ako'y naparito upang maghain sa Panginoon.

And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;

3 At tawagin mo si Isai sa paghahain at aking ituturo sa iyo kung ano ang iyong gagawin; at iyong papahiran sa akin yaong sa iyo'y aking sabihin.

and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”

4 At ginawa ni Samuel ang sinalita ng Panginoon at naparoon sa Bethlehem. At ang mga matanda sa bayan ay naparoon upang salubungin siya na nagsisipanginig, at nagsabi, Naparirito ka bang may kapayapaan?

And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”

5 At kaniyang sinabi, May kapayapaan: ako'y naparito upang maghain sa Panginoon: magpakabanal kayo at sumama kayo sa akin sa paghahain. At pinapagbanal niya si Isai at ang kaniyang mga anak, at tinawag niya sila sa paghahain.

And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.

6 At nangyari, nang sila'y dumating na siya'y tumingin kay Eliab, at nagsabi, Tunay na ang pinahiran ng Panginoon ay nasa harap niya.

And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”

7 Nguni't sinabi ng Panginoon kay Samuel, Huwag mong tingnan ang kaniyang mukha, o ang taas ng kaniyang kataasan; sapagka't aking itinakuwil siya: sapagka't hindi tumitingin ang Panginoon na gaya ng pagtingin ng tao: sapagka't ang tao ay tumitingin sa mukha, nguni't ang Panginoon ay tumitingin sa puso.

And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”

8 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Isai si Abinadab, at pinaraan niya sa harap ni Samuel. At kaniyang sinabi, Kahit ito man, ay hindi pinili ng Panginoon.

And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

9 Nang magkagayo'y pinaraan ni Isai si Samma. At kaniyang sinabi, Kahit ito man, ay hindi pinili ng Panginoon.

And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”

10 At pinaraan ni Isai ang pito sa kaniyang mga anak sa harap ni Samuel. At sinabi ni Samuel kay Isai, Hindi pinili ng Panginoon ang mga ito.

And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”

11 At sinabi ni Samuel kay Isai, Narito ba ang iyong lahat na anak? At kaniyang sinabi, Natitira pa ang bunso, at, narito, siya'y nag-aalaga sa mga tupa. At sinabi ni Samuel kay Isai, Ipasundo mo siya; sapagka't hindi tayo uupo hanggang sa siya'y dumating dito.

And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”

12 At siya'y nagsugo, at sinundo siya roon. Siya nga'y may mapulang pisngi, may magandang bikas, at mabuting anyo. At sinabi ng Panginoon, Tumindig ka: pahiran mo siya ng langis, sapagka't ito nga.

And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”

13 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Samuel ang sungay ng langis, at pinahiran siya sa gitna ng kaniyang mga kapatid: at ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang suma kay David mula sa araw na yaon hanggang sa haharapin. Gayon bumangon si Samuel at napasa Rama.

And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.

14 Ang Espiritu nga ng Panginoon ay humiwalay kay Saul, at isang masamang espiritu na mula sa Panginoon ay bumagabag sa kaniya.

And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;

15 At sinabi ng mga bataan ni Saul sa kaniya, Narito ngayon, isang masamang espiritu na mula sa Dios ay bumabagabag sa iyo.

and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;

16 Iutos ngayon ng aming panginoon sa iyong mga bataan na nasa harap mo na humanap ng isang lalake na bihasang manunugtog ng alpa; at mangyayari, pagka ang masamang espiritu na mula sa Dios ay nasa iyo na siya'y tutugtog ng kaniyang kamay at ikaw ay bubuti.

now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”

17 At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang mga bataan, Ipaghanda ninyo ako ngayon ng isang lalake na makatutugtog na mabuti, at dalhin ninyo sa akin siya.

And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”

18 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot ang isa sa mga bataan, at nagsabi, Narito, aking nakita ang isang anak ni Isai na Bethlehemita, na bihasa sa panunugtog, at makapangyarihang lalake na may tapang, at lalaking mangdidigma, at matalino sa pananalita, at makisig na lalake, at ang Panginoon ay sumasa kaniya.

And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”

19 Kaya't nagsugo si Saul ng mga sugo kay Isai, at sinabi, Suguin mo sa akin si David na iyong anak, na nasa kawan ng mga tupa.

And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”

20 At kumuha si Isai ng isang asno na may pasang tinapay, at isang balat ng alak, at isang anak ng kambing, at ipinadala kay Saul sa pamamagitan ni David na kaniyang anak.

And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.

21 At dumating si David kay Saul at tumayo sa harap niya: at minahal niya siyang mainam; at siya'y naging tagadala ng sandata niya.

And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.

22 At nagpasabi si Saul kay Isai, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bayaang tumayo si David sa harapan ko, sapagka't siya'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa aking paningin.

And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”

23 At nangyari, pagka ang masamang espiritu na mula sa Dios ay sumasa kay Saul, ay kinukuha ni David ang alpa, at tinutugtog ng kaniyang kamay: gayon nagiginhawahan si Saul, at bumubuti, at ang masamang espiritu ay nahihiwalay sa kaniya.

And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.
