I Samuel 16
1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Kasano kabayag a pagladingitam ni Saul, idinto a linaksidko isuna iti panagbalinna nga ari iti entero nga Israel? Punoem ta sara a pagkarkargaam iti lana ket mapanka. Ibaonka kenni Jesse iti Betlehem, ta napilik ti maysa kadagiti annakna a lallaki nga agbalin a maysa nga ari.”
And YHWH said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2 Kinuna ni Samuel, “Kasano a mapanak? No mangngeg ni Saul daytoy, papatayennakto.” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Mangitugotka iti urbon a baka ket ibagam, 'Immayak tapno agidaton kenni Yahweh.'
And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he Will kill me. And YHWH said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to YHWH.
3 Ayabam ni Jesse iti pagidatonan, ket ipakitakto kenka ti aramidem. Pulotamto daydiay nga ibagak kenka.”
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
4 Inaramid ngarud ni Samuel ti imbaga ni Yahweh ket napan idiay Betlehem. Agpigpigerger dagiti panglakayen ti siudad bayat a sabsabatenda isuna ket kinunada, “Kappia kadi ti immayam?”
And Samuel did that which YHWH spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5 Kinunana, “Wen kappia; Immayak tapno agidaton kenni Yahweh. Aramidenyo ti seremonia a mamagbalin kadakayo a nalinis iti imatang ni Yahweh ket sumurotkayo kaniak.” Ket inaramidna kenni Jesse ken dagiti annakna a lallaki ti seremonia a pakaibilanganda a nalinis iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket kalpasanna, inayabanna ida iti pagidatonanna.
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto YHWH: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 Idi nakagtengdan, kinitana ni Eliab ket kinunana iti nakemna a pudno nga agtaktakder iti sangoananna ti pinulotan ni Yahweh.
And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely YHWH 's anointed is before him.
7 Ngem kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Saanmo a kitaen ti akin-ruar a langana, wenno ti kinatayagna; gapu ta linaksidko isuna. Ta ni Yahweh, saan a kumita a kas iti panagkita ti tao; kitaen ti tao ti akin-ruar a langa, ngem ni Yahweh, kumita iti puso.”
But YHWH said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for YHWH seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but YHWH looketh on the heart.
8 Kalpasanna, inayaban ni Jesse ni Abinadab ket pinapagnana iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath YHWH chosen this.
9 Ket pinapagna manen ni Jesse ni Samma iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel “Uray daytoy ket saan a pinili ni Yahweh.”
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath YHWH chosen this.
10 Pinapagna ni Jesse dagiti pito nga annakna a lallaki iti sangoanan ni Samuel. Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Awan ti pinili ni Yahweh iti siasinoman kadagitoy.”
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, YHWH hath not chosen these.
11 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Adda kadi amin ditoy dagiti annakmo a lallaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Adda pay ti inaudi, ngem isuna ti agipaspastor kadagiti karnero.” Kinuna ni Samuel kenni Jesse, “Mangibaonka iti mangayab kenkuana; ta saantayo nga agtugaw agingga saan a sumangpet isuna ditoy.”
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 Pinaayaban ni Jesse isuna. Ita, daytoy a putot ni Jesse ket lumabaga ti kudilna ken napintas dagiti matana ken nataer isuna. Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Tumakderka, pulotam isuna; ta isuna ti pinilik.”
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And YHWH said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Ket innala ni Samuel ti sara a naglaon iti lana ket pinulotanna isuna iti sangoanan dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki. Manipud iti dayta nga aldaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ti nagtalinaed kenni David. Ket nagrubbuat ni Samuel ket napan idiay Rama.
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of YHWH came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14 Ita, pimmanaw ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Saul, ket adda dakes nga espiritu nga imbaon ni Yahweh a nangriribuk ketdi kenkuana.
But the Spirit of YHWH departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from YHWH troubled him.
15 Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Saul kenkuana, “Kitaem, addan dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangrirriribuk kenka.
And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from Elohim troubleth thee.
16 Bilinen koma ti apomi ita dagiti adipenna nga adda iti sangoananna a mangsapul iti maysa a tao a nalaing nga agtukar iti arpa. Ket no adda kenka ti dakes nga espiritu, pagtukarenna daytoy ket sumayaatkanto.”
Let ourmaster now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from Elohim is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17 Kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna, “Isapulandak iti tao a nalaing nga agtukar ket iyegyo kaniak.”
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 Ket simmungbat ti maysa kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, ket kunana, “Nakitak ti maysa nga anak a lalaki ni Jesse a taga-Betlehem, a nalaing nga agtukar, napigsa, natured a tao; mannakigubat a tao, nalaing nga agbitla, nataer a tao; ken adda kenkuana ni Yahweh.”
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 YHWH is with him.
19 Isu a nangibaon ni Saul kadagiti mensahero kenni Jesse, ket kinunana, “Ibaonmo kaniak ti anakmo a ni David, nga adda iti ayan dagiti karnero.”
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
20 Nangala ni Jesse iti asno a napaawitan iti tinapay, maysa a pagkargaan a lalat a naglaon iti arak, ken adda pay urbon a kalding, ket impaw-itna dagitoy iti anakna a ni David para kenni Saul.
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.
21 Ket dimteng ni David iti ayan ni Saul ket nangrugi nga agserbi isuna kenni Saul. Nagustoan unay isuna ni Saul, ket nagbalin isuna a para-awit iti igamna.
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22 Pinaibaga ni Saul kenni Jesse, a kunana, “Ipalubosmo nga agtalinaed ni David iti ayanko, ta magustoak unay isuna.”
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
23 Ti dakes nga espiritu nga intulok ti Dios a mangriribuk kenni Saul, tunggal riribukenna ni Saul, alaen ni David ti arpa ket tukarenna daytoy. Isu a mabang-aran ken sumayaat ni Saul, ket pumanaw ti dakes nga espiritu kenkuana.
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from Elohim 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.
