1 Samuel 16
1 Awurade bisaa Samuel sɛ, “Woadi Saulo ho awerɛhoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ. Mapo no sɛ Israel ɔhene. Fa ngo gu wo toa mu, na tutu so kɔ Betlehem. Hwehwɛ obi a wɔfrɛ no Yisai na mayi ne mmammarima no mu baako sɛ ɔnyɛ me ɔhene foforɔ.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Kia pehea ake te roa o tau tangi mo Haora, kua whakakahoretia nei hoki ia e ahau hei kingi mo Iharaira? Whakakiia tau haona ki te hinu, a haere, ka tonoa koe e ahau ki a Hehe o Peterehema: kua kitea hoki e ahau he kingi maku i roto i ana tama.
2 Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ dɛn ayɛ yei? Sɛ Saulo te a ɔbɛkum me.” Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa nantwie ba ka wo ho, na ka sɛ, maba sɛ merebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade.
Na ka mea a Hamuera, Me pehea ahau e haere ai? ki te rongo hoki a Haora, ka patua ahau e ia. Ano ra ko Ihowa, Kawea atu i tou ringa tetahi kuao kau, hei te uwha, ka mea atu, I haere mai ahau ki te patu whakahere ki a Ihowa.
3 To nsa frɛ Yisai na ɔmmra afɔrebɔ no, na mɛkyerɛ wo ne mmammarima no mu deɛ wobɛsra no ngo ama me.”
Me karanga hoki a Hehe ki te patunga tapu, a maku e whakaatu ki a koe tau e mea ai: me whakawahi ano e koe maku te tangata e korero ai ahau ki a koe.
4 Samuel yɛɛ deɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ɛberɛ a ɔduruu Betlehem no, ɛhɔ mpanimfoɔ no bɔɔ hu. Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ mu anaa?”
Na meatia ana e Hamuera ta Ihowa i korero ai, a haere ana ki Peterehema. Na ka haere mai nga kaumatua o te pa ki te whakatau i a ia me te wiri ano, a ka mea, E haere mai ana ranei koe i runga i te rangimarie?
5 Samuel buaa sɛ, “Aane, asomdwoeɛ mu. Merebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Monnwira mo ho, na mommɛka me ho na yɛmmɔ.” Enti, Samuel dwiraa Yisai ne ne mmammarima no na ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ wɔn afɔrebɔ no ase.
Ano ra ko ia, I runga i te rangimarie: i haere mai ahau ki te patu whakahere ki a Ihowa: whakatapua koutou, ka haere tatou ki te patunga tapu. I whakatapua ano e ia a Hehe ratou ko ana tama, a karangatia ano ratou e ia ki te patunga tapu.
6 Wɔduruiɛ no, Samuel hunuu Eliab na ɔdwenee sɛ, “Ampa, deɛ Awurade asra noɔ no ni.”
A, no to ratou taenga, na ka titiro atu ia ki a Eriapa, a ka mea, He pono kei te aroaro o Ihowa tana tangata e whakawahi ai.
7 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Nhwɛ nʼahoɔfɛ ne ne tenten, ɛfiri sɛ, mapo no. Awurade nhwɛ nneɛma sɛdeɛ nnipa hwɛ no. Onipa hwɛ deɛ aniwa hunu, na Awurade deɛ, ɔhwɛ akoma mu.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Kaua e titiro ki tona ahua, ki tona roa ranei, i a ia e tu na; kua whakaparahako hoki ahau ki a ia: e kore hoki e rite ta Ihowa ki ta te tangata titiro: he titiro hoki ta te tangata ki te kanohi; ko ta Ihowa ia he titiro ki te ngakau.
8 Na Yisai frɛɛ Abinadab maa ɔtwaam Samuel anim. Nanso, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Yei nyɛ deɛ Awurade ayi no.”
Katahi ka karangatia e Hehe a Apinarapa, a ka meinga kia haere atu ma te aroaro o Hamuera. Na ka mea ia, Ehara ano tenei i ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai.
9 Yisai maa Sama twaam, nanso Samuel kaa sɛ, “Saa ara na Awurade nyii yei.”
Katahi ka meinga e Hehe a Hamaha kia haere atu. Na ka mea ia, Ehara ano tenei i ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai.
10 Yisai maa ne mmammarima baason bɛfaa Samuel anim, na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade nyii wɔn mu biara.”
Na meinga ana e Hehe ana tama tokowhitu kia haere atu ma te aroaro o Hamuera. A ka mea a Hamuera ki a Hehe, Kihai enei i whiriwhiria e Ihowa.
11 Enti, ɔbisaa Yisai sɛ, “Mmammarima a wowɔ nyinaa ni anaa?” Yisai buaa sɛ, “Akumaa pa ara wɔ hɔ, nanso ɔrehwɛ nnwan.” Samuel kaa sɛ, “Soma na wɔnkɔfa no mmra seesei. Sɛ ɔmmaeɛ a, yɛrentena ase nnidi.”
Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a Hehe, Kei konei katoa ranei au tamariki? A ka mea ia, Tenei ano tetahi, to muri rawa; na kei te tiaki hipi ia. Ano ra ko Hamuera ki a Hehe, Tonoa atu he tangata ki te tiki i a ia: e kore hoki tatou e noho ki te kai kia t ae mai ra ano ia ki konei.
12 Enti, Yisai soma ma wɔkɔfaa no baeɛ. Na ɔyɛ bɔkɔɔ a ahoɔfɛ adware no na nʼani yɛ fɛ. Awurade kaa sɛ, “Sɔre na sra no ngo. Ɔno nie.”
Na, ka tono tangata atu tera, a tikina ana ia. Na, he kiri puwhero ia, he kanohi ataahua, he pai ki te titiro atu. Na ka mea a Ihowa, Whakatika, whakawahia ia, koia hoki ia.
13 Enti, Samuel faa toa a ngo wɔ mu no sraa no wɔ ne nuanom anim. Na, ɛfiri saa ɛda no, Awurade honhom baa Dawid so wɔ tumi mu. Samuel kɔɔ Rama.
Katahi ka mau a Hamuera ki te haona hinu, a whakawahia ana ia i roto i ona tuakana: ko te tino putanga mai o te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a Rawiri i taua rangi ano a ahu ake nei. Na whakatika ana a Hamuera, haere ana ki Rama.
14 Saa ɛberɛ yi na Awurade honhom afiri Saulo so. Na Awurade maa ɔhaw honhom bɛhyɛɛ no ma. Ɛmaa ɔtenaa ase ehu ne suro mu.
Na kua mawehe atu i a Haora te wairua o Ihowa, a ka takakinotia ona whakaaro e tetahi wairua kino no Ihowa.
15 Ɛbaa saa no, Saulo asomfoɔ no bi kyerɛɛ adwene bi sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ honhommɔne bi na ɛreha wo.
A ka mea nga tangata a Haora ki a ia, Nana, he wairua kino no te Atua te whakararu nei i a koe.
16 Sɛ saa a, ɛnneɛ, momma yɛmpɛ sankubɔfoɔ papa bi, na sɛ honhom no ba bɛha wo a, wabɔ nnwom ama wo. Sankuo so nnwom bɛdwodwo wo. Na ɛrenkyɛre, wo ho bɛtɔ wo bio.”
Na kia ki mai koa to matou ariki ki ana pononga, e tau nei i tou aroaro, kia rapua he tangata mohio ki te whakatangi hapa: kia tau mai ai te wairua kino a te Atua ki a koe, ka whakatangi ia ki tona ringa, a ka marie koe.
17 Saulo kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ asɛm papa. Monhwehwɛ sankubɔni papa bi na momfa no mmra ha.”
Na ka mea a Haora ki ana tangata, Tena ra, tirohia tetahi kaiwhakatangi pai, ka kawe mai ki ahau.
18 Asomfoɔ no mu baako ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Yisai a ɔfiri Betlehem babarima baako nim sankuo bɔ yie. Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko. Ɔyɛ ɔkokoɔdurufoɔ hoɔdenfoɔ, na ɔyɛ ɔbadwemma nso. Ɔyɛ aberanteɛ a ne ho yɛ fɛ, na Awurade ka ne ho.”
Katahi ka oho tetahi o nga taitama, ka mea, Nana, kua kite ahau i tetahi o nga tama a Hehe o Peterehema, he mohio ki te whakatangi, he toa, he pakari, he tangata hapai patu, he korero tupato, he tangata ataahua, kei a ia ano hoki a Ihowa.
19 Enti, Saulo tuu abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Yisai hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa wo babarima Dawid a ɔyɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ no brɛ me.”
Heoi ka tono tangata a Haora ki a Hehe, hei mea, Tena a Rawiri, tau tama i nga hipi na, tonoa mai ki ahau.
20 Yisai penee so de Dawid kɔmaa Saulo a abirekyie ba ne afunumu a wɔahyehyɛ aduane ne nsã wɔ ne so ka ho.
Na ka mau a Hehe ki tetahi kaihe, he taro te pikaunga, me tetahi ipu waina, me tetahi kuao koati, a unga ana kia kawea e tana tama, e Rawiri, ki a Haora.
21 Enti, Dawid kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn kɔsom no. Na Saulo pɛ Dawid asɛm yie, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Saulo akodeɛkurafoɔ no mu baako.
Na ka tae a Rawiri ki a Haora, a tu ana i tona aroaro: a nui atu te aroha o tera ki a ia; meinga ana ia e ia hei kaimau patu mana.
22 Na Saulo too Yisai nkra sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, ma Dawid mmɛka mʼadwumayɛfoɔ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, mepɛ nʼasɛm yie.”
Na ka tono tangata a Haora ki a Hehe hei mea atu ki a ia, Tukua a Rawiri kia tu i toku aroaro; kua manakohia hoki ia e ahau.
23 Na ɛberɛ biara a honhommɔne a ɛfiri Onyankopɔn bɛba Saulo so abɛha no no, Dawid bɔ sankuo no. Ɛba saa a, Saulo ho tɔ no, na honhommɔne no nso kɔ.
A, i nga wa i puta mai ai te wairua kino i te Atua ki a Haora, ka mau a Rawiri ki te hapa, ka whakatangi ki tona ringa: heoi ka ta te manawa o Haora, a ka marie, a mahue ake ia i te wairua kino.
