1And the Lord said to Samuel. How It long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
1耶和華對 撒母耳 說：「我既厭棄 掃羅 作 以色列 的王，你為他悲傷要到幾時呢？你將膏油盛滿了角，我差遣你往 伯利恆 人 耶西 那裏去；因為我在他眾子之內，預定一個作王的。」
2And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
2撒母耳 說：「我怎能去呢？ 掃羅 若聽見，必要殺我。」耶和華說：「你可以帶一隻牛犢去，就說：『我來是要向耶和華獻祭。』
3And thou shalt call Isai to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou art to do, and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall shew to thee.
3你要請 耶西 來吃祭肉，我就指示你所當行的事。我所指給你的人，你要膏他。」
4Then Samuel did as the Lord had said to him. And he came to Bethlehem, and the ancients of the city wondered, and meeting him, they said: Is thy coming hither peaceable?
4撒母耳 就照耶和華的話去行。到了 伯利恆 ，那城裏的長老都戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他，問他說：「你是為平安來的嗎？」
5And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
5他說：「為平安來的，我是給耶和華獻祭。你們當自潔，來與我同吃祭肉。」 撒母耳 就使 耶西 和他眾子自潔，請他們來吃祭肉。
6And when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord’s anointed before him?
6他們來的時候， 撒母耳 看見 以利押 ，就心裏說，耶和華的受膏者必定在他面前。
7And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.
7耶和華卻對 撒母耳 說：「不要看他的外貌和他身材高大，我不揀選他。因為， 耶和華 不像人看人：人是看外貌；耶和華是看內心。」
8And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
8耶西 叫 亞比拿達 從 撒母耳 面前經過， 撒母耳 說：「耶和華也不揀選他。」
9And Isai brought Samma, and he said of him: Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9耶西 又叫 沙瑪 從 撒母耳 面前經過， 撒母耳 說：「耶和華也不揀選他。」
10Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one of these.
10耶西 叫他七個兒子都從 撒母耳 面前經過， 撒母耳 說：「這都不是耶和華所揀選的。」
11And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither.
11撒母耳 對 耶西 說：「你的兒子都在這裏嗎？」他回答說：「還有個小的，現在放羊。」 撒母耳 對 耶西 說：「你打發人去叫他來；他若不來，我們必不坐席。」
12He sent therefore and brought him Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he.
12耶西 就打發人去叫了他來。他面色光紅，雙目清秀，容貌俊美。耶和華說：「這就是他，你起來膏他。」
13Then 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: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha.
13撒母耳 就用角裏的膏油，在他諸兄中膏了他。從這日起，耶和華的靈就大大感動 大衛 。 撒母耳 起身回 拉瑪 去了。
14But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
14耶和華的靈離開 掃羅 ，有惡魔從耶和華那裏來擾亂他。
15And the servants of Saul said to him: Behold now an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
15掃羅 的臣僕對他說：「現在有惡魔從上帝那裏來擾亂你。
16Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee will seek out a man skillful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayest bear it more easily.
16我們的主可以吩咐面前的臣僕，找一個善於彈琴的來，等上帝那裏來的惡魔臨到你身上的時候，使他用手彈琴，你就好了。」
17And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me.
17掃羅 對臣僕說：「你們可以為我找一個善於彈琴的，帶到我這裏來。」
18And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai the Bethlehemite, a skillful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him.
18其中有一個少年人說：「我曾見 伯利恆 人 耶西 的一個兒子善於彈琴，是大有勇敢的戰士，說話合宜，容貌俊美，耶和華也與他同在。」
19Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David thy son, who is in the pastures.
19於是 掃羅 差遣使者去見 耶西 ，說：「請你打發你放羊的兒子 大衛 到我這裏來。」
20And Isai took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid of the flock, and sent them by the hand of David his son to Saul.
20耶西 就把幾個餅和一皮袋酒，並一隻山羊羔，都馱在驢上，交給他兒子 大衛 ，送與 掃羅 。
21And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer.
21大衛 到了 掃羅 那裏，就侍立在 掃羅 面前。 掃羅 甚喜愛他，他就作了 掃羅 拿兵器的人。
22And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight.
22掃羅 差遣人去見 耶西 ，說：「求你容 大衛 侍立在我面前，因為他在我眼前蒙了恩。」
23So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him.
23從上帝那裏來的惡魔臨到 掃羅 身上的時候， 大衛 就拿琴，用手而彈， 掃羅 便舒暢爽快，惡魔離了他。
