1ΚΑΙ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ· ἕως πότε σὺ πενθεῖς ἐπὶ Σαούλ, κἀγὼ ἐξουδένωκα αὐτὸν μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ; πλῆσον τὸ κέρας σου ἐλαίου, καὶ δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ἕως Βηθλεέμ, ὅτι ἑώρακα ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοὶ βασιλέα.
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.”
2καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· πῶς πορευθῶ; καὶ ἀκούσεται Σαοὺλ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· δάμαλιν βοῶν λαβὲ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ ἐρεῖς· θῦσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἥκω·
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.’
3καὶ καλέσεις τὸν Ἰεσσαὶ εἰς τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ γνωριῶ σοι ἃ ποιήσεις, καὶ χρίσεις ὃν ἂν εἴπω πρός σε.
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.”
4καὶ ἐποίησε Σαμουὴλ πάντα, ἃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθλεέμ. καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς πόλεως τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν· εἰρήνη ἡ εἴσοδός σου, ὁ βλέπων;
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?”
5καὶ εἶπεν· εἰρήνη· θῦσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἥκω, ἁγιάσθητε καὶ εὐφράνθητε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ σήμερον, καὶ ἡγίασε τὸν Ἰεσσαὶ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν.
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.
6καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ εἰσιέναι αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶδε τὸν Ἐλιὰβ καὶ εἶπεν· ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου χριστὸς αὐτοῦ.
6When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”
7καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ· μὴ ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ὄψιν αὐτοῦ μηδὲ εἰς τὴν ἕξιν μεγέθους αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐξουδένωκα αὐτόν· ὅτι οὐχ ὡς ἐμβλέψεται ἄνθρωπος, ὄψεται ὁ Θεός, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος ὄψεται εἰς πρόσωπον, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ὄψεται εἰς καρδίαν.
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.”
8καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰεσσαὶ τὸν Ἀμιναδάβ, καὶ παρῆλθε κατὰ πρόσωπον Σαμουήλ, καὶ εἶπεν· οὐδὲ τοῦτον ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός.
8Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
9καὶ παρήγαγεν Ἰεσσαὶ τὸν Σαμά· καὶ εἶπε· καὶ ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος.
9Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
10καὶ παρήγαγεν Ἰεσσαὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον Σαμουήλ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· οὐκ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐν τούτοις.
10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The LORD has not chosen any of these.”
11καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαί· ἐκλελοίπασι τὰ παιδάρια; καὶ εἶπεν· ἔτι ὁ μικρὸς ἰδοὺ ποιμαίνει ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ. καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαί· ἀπόστειλον καὶ λαβὲ αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κατακλιθῶμεν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτόν.
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.”
12καὶ ἀπέστειλε καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτόν· καὶ αὐτὸς πυρράκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ ἀγαθὸς ὁράσει Κυρίῳ. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ· ἀνάστα καὶ χρῖσον τὸν Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀγαθός.
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.”
13καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ τὸ κέρας τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπὶ Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπάνω. καὶ ἀνέστη Σαμουὴλ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς Ἀρμαθαίμ.
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.
14Καὶ πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἀπέστη ἀπὸ Σαούλ, καὶ ἔπνιγεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα πονηρὸν παρὰ Κυρίου.
14After the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.
15καὶ εἶπαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ δὴ πνεῦμα Κυρίου πονηρὸν πνίγει σε·
15Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.
16εἰπάτωσαν δὴ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐνώπιόν σου, καὶ ζητησάτωσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν ἄνδρα εἰδότα ψάλλειν ἐν κινύρᾳ, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπί σοι καὶ ψαλῇ ἐν τῇ κινύρᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀγαθόν σοι ἔσται καὶ ἀναπαύσει σε.
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.”
17καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἴδετε δή μοι ἄνδρα ὀρθῶς ψάλλοντα καὶ εἰσαγάγετε αὐτὸν πρός με.
17And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”
18καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἑώρακα υἱὸν τῷ Ἰεσσαὶ Βηθλεεμίτην καὶ αὐτὸν εἰδότα ψαλμόν, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ συνετὸς καὶ πολεμιστὴς καὶ σοφὸς λόγῳ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς τῷ εἴδει, καὶ Κύριος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
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.”
19καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ λέγων· ἀπόστειλον πρός με τὸν υἱόν σου Δαυὶδ τὸν ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ σου.
19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
20καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰεσσαὶ γομὸρ ἄρτων καὶ ἀσκὸν οἶνου καὶ ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἕνα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Σαούλ.
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.
21καὶ εἰσῆλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ καὶ παρειστήκει ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ.
21When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul admired him greatly, and David became his armor-bearer.
22καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ λέγων· παριστάσθω δὴ Δαυὶδ ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὅτι εὗρε χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου.
22Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”

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.
33καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐλάμβανε Δαυὶδ τὴν κινύραν καὶ ἔψαλλεν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀνέψυχε Σαούλ, καὶ ἀγαθὸν αὐτῷ. καὶ ἀφίστατο ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρόν.
