Berean Standard Bible
1OLELO 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.
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.”
2I 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.
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.’
3A 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.
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.”
4A 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?
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?”
5I 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.
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.
6A i ko lakou hiki ana mai, nana aku oia ia Eliaba, i iho la, He oiaio imua o'u ka poni a Iehova.
6When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”
7A 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.
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.”
8A 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.
8Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
9Hoike aku la o Iese ia Sama. I mai la ia, Aole o Iehova i wae mai i keia.
9Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
10Hoike 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.
10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The LORD has not chosen any of these.”
11Ninau 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.
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.”
12Kii 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.
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.”
13Alaila 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.
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.
14A haalele ka Uhane o Iehova ia Saula, a hikilele mai ka uhane ino maluna ona na Iehova mai.
14After the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.
15I 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.
15Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.
16Ano, 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.
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.”
17I 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.
17And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”
18Alaila 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.
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.”
19Hoouna 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.
19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
20Lawe 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.
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.
21Hele 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.
21When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul admired him greatly, and David became his armor-bearer.
22Hoouna 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.
22Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
23A 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.
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.
