Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself.”
1耶和华对 撒母耳 说：「我既厌弃 扫罗 作 以色列 的王，你为他悲伤要到几时呢？你将膏油盛满了角，我差遣你往 伯利恒 人 耶西 那里去；因为我在他众子之内，预定一个作王的。」
2“How can I go?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear of it and kill me!” The LORD answered, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’
2撒母耳 说：「我怎能去呢？ 扫罗 若听见，必要杀我。」耶和华说：「你可以带一只牛犊去，就说：『我来是要向耶和华献祭。』
3Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you are to do. You are to anoint for Me the one I indicate.”
3你要请 耶西 来吃祭肉，我就指示你所当行的事。我所指给你的人，你要膏他。」
4So Samuel did what the LORD had said and went to Bethlehem. When the elders of the town met him, they trembled and asked, “Do you come in peace?”
4撒母耳 就照耶和华的话去行。到了 伯利恒 ，那城里的长老都战战兢兢地出来迎接他，问他说：「你是为平安来的吗？」
5“In peace,” he replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
5他说：「为平安来的，我是给耶和华献祭。你们当自洁，来与我同吃祭肉。」 撒母耳 就使 耶西 和他众子自洁，请他们来吃祭肉。
6When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”
6他们来的时候， 撒母耳 看见 以 利押 ，就心里说，耶和华的受膏者必定在他面前。
7But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”
7耶和华却对 撒母耳 说：「不要看他的外貌和他身材高大，我不拣选他。因为， 耶和华 不像人看人：人是看外貌；耶和华是看内心。」
8Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
8耶西 叫 亚比拿达 从 撒母耳 面前经过， 撒母耳 说：「耶和华也不拣选他。」
9Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
9耶西 又叫 沙玛 从 撒母耳 面前经过， 撒母耳 说：「耶和华也不拣选他。」
10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The LORD has not chosen any of these.”
10耶西 叫他七个儿子都从 撒母耳 面前经过， 撒母耳 说：「这都不是耶和华所拣选的。」
11And Samuel asked him, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied, “but he is tending the sheep.” “Send for him,” Samuel replied. “For we will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”
11撒母耳 对 耶西 说：「你的儿子都在这里吗？」他回答说：「还有个小的，现在放羊。」 撒母耳 对 耶西 说：「你打发人去叫他来；他若不来，我们必不坐席。」
12So Jesse sent for his youngest son and brought him in. He was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him, for he is the one.”
12耶西 就打发人去叫了他来。他面色光红，双目清秀，容貌俊美。耶和华说：「这就是他，你起来膏他。」
13So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
13撒母耳 就用角里的膏油，在他诸兄中膏了他。从这日起，耶和华的灵就大大感动 大卫 。 撒母耳 起身回 拉玛 去了。
14After the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.
14耶和华的灵离开 扫罗 ，有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他。
15Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.
15扫罗 的臣仆对他说：「现在有恶魔从 神那里来扰乱你。
16Let our lord command your servants here to seek out someone who can skillfully play the harp. Whenever the spirit of distress from God is upon you, he is to play it, and you will be well.”
16我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆，找一个善于弹琴的来，等 神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候，使他用手弹琴，你就好了。」
17And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”
17扫罗 对臣仆说：「你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的，带到我这里来。」
18One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a mighty man of valor, a warrior, eloquent and handsome, and the LORD is with him.”
18其中有一个少年人说：「我曾见 伯利恒 人 耶西 的一个儿子善于弹琴，是大有勇敢的战士，说话合宜，容貌俊美，耶和华也与他同在。」
19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
19于是 扫罗 差遣使者去见 耶西 ，说：「请你打发你放羊的儿子 大卫 到我这里来。」
20And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat, and sent them to Saul with his son David.
20耶西 就把几个饼和一皮袋酒，并一只山羊羔，都驮在驴上，交给他儿子 大卫 ，送与 扫罗 。
21When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul admired him greatly, and David became his armor-bearer.
21大卫 到了 扫罗 那里，就侍立在 扫罗 面前。 扫罗 甚喜爱他，他就作了 扫罗 拿兵器的人。
22Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
22扫罗 差遣人去见 耶西 ，说：「求你容 大卫 侍立在我面前，因为他在我眼前蒙了恩。」
23And whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would pick up his harp and play, and Saul would become well, and the spirit of distress would depart from him.
23从 神那里来的恶魔临到 扫罗 身上的时候， 大卫 就拿琴，用手而弹， 扫罗 便舒畅爽快，恶魔离了他。
