1 Samuel 16
1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill your horn with oil, and go, I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Pehea la ka loihi o kou uwe ana ia Saula, no ka mea, ua haalele au ia ia, aole oia ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela? E hoopiha oe i kou pepeiaohao i ka aila, a e hele, e hoouna aku au ia oe io Iese la no Betelehema: no ka mea, ua wae iho au i alii no'u iwaena o kana mau keiki.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
I aku la o Samuela, Pehea la wau e hele ai? ina lohe o Saula, e pepehi mai ia ia'u. Olelo mai la o Iehova, E lawe pu me oe i bipiwahine, a e i aku, Ua hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint unto me him whom I name unto you.
A e kahea aku oe ia Iese e hele i ka mohai, a e hoike aku au ia oe i kau mea e hana aku ai: a e poni iho oe no'u i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe.
4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Come you peaceably?
A hana aku la o Samuela i ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, a hele aku la i Betelehema: a haalulu na lunakahiko o ke kulanakauhale i kona hiki ana mai, i mai la, I hele mai nei oe me ke aloha?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
I aku la ia, Me ke aloha no: i hele mai nei au e kaumaha aku ia Iehova; e hoomaemae oukou ia oukou iho, a e hele pu mai me au i ka mohai. Hoomaemae aku la oia ia Iese a me kana mau keiki, a kahea aku la oia ia lakou i ka mohai.
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
A i ko lakou hiki ana mai, nana aku oia ia Eliaba, i iho la, He oiaio imua o'u ka poni a Iehova.
7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, Mai nana oe i kona ano mawaho, aole hoi i ka loihi o kona kino; ua hoole aku au ia ia: no ka mea, aole ma ka mea a ke kanaka i ike; ke nana nei ke kanaka i na helehelena, aka, ke nana nei o Iehova i ka naau.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
A kahea aku la o Iese ia Abinadaba, a hoike ia ia imua o Samuela. I mai la ia, Aole i wae mai o Iehova i keia.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
Hoike aku la o Iese ia Sama. I mai la ia, Aole o Iehova i wae mai i keia.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.
Hoike aku la o Iese i kana mau keikikane ehiku imua o Samuela. I mai la o Samuela ia Iese, Aole o Iehova i wae mai ia lakou nei.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he comes here.
Ninau aku la o Samuela ia Iese, O ka pau anei keia o na keiki? I mai la ia, O ka pokii wale no i koe, aia hoi, ke malama nei ia i na hipa. I aku la o Samuela ia Iese, E kii, a lawe mai ia ia: no ka mea, aole kakou e noho iho a hiki mai ia.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was rosy, and likewise of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai ia ia. He ehu, he nani kona mau maka, he maikai ke nana aku. Olelo mai o Iehova, E ku ae oe, a e poni ia ia, no ka mea, oia no ia.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Alaila lalau aku la o Samuela i ka pepeiaohao aila, a poni ia ia iwaena o kona mau hoahanau: a hiki mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna o Davida ia la, a ma ia hope aku. Ku ae la o Samuela, a hele aku ma Rama.
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
A haalele ka Uhane o Iehova ia Saula, a hikilele mai ka uhane ino maluna ona na Iehova mai.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
I mai la na kauwa a Saula ia ia, Aia hoi, ano ua hiki wawe mai ka uhane ino i ou la na ke Akua mai.
16 Let our lord now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
Ano, e ko makou haku, e olelo mai i kau mau kauwa imua ou, e imi lakou i kanaka akamai i ka hookani i ka lira: a i hiki mai ka uhane ino maluna ou na ke Akua mai; alaila oia e hookani ai me kona lima, a ola oe.
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
I aku la o Saula i kana mau kauwa, Ano e imi oukou no'u i kanaka akamai i ka hookani, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
Alaila olelo mai kekahi o na kauwa, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua ike au i kekahi keiki a Iese no Betelehema, ua akamai i ka hookani, a ua koa loa, a he kanaka kaua, a me ke akamai i ka olelo, a he helehelena maikai, a me ia no o Iehova.
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, which is with the sheep.
Hoouna aku la o Saula i na elele io Iese la, i aku la, E hoouna mai io'u nei ia Davida, i kau keiki, aia no ia me ka poe hipa.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
Lawe ae la o Iese i ka hoki, me ka berena, a me ka hue waina, a me kahi keikikao, a hoouna aku la ma ka lima o Davida, kana keiki, io Saula la.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour bearer.
Hele aku la o Davida io Saula la, a ku imua ona: a ua nui kona aloha mai ia ia: a lilo ia i mea halihali i kana mea kaua.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.
Hoouna aku la o Saula io Iese la, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe, e ku o Davida imua o'u: no ka mea, ua loaa ia ia ke aloha imua o ko'u maka.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
A i ka manawa i hiki mai ai ka uhane ino maluna o Saula na ke Akua mai, lalau aku la o Davida i ka lira, a hookani aku la me kona lima; a ua oluolu o Saula, a ua ola hoi, a haalele ka uhane ino ia ia.
