1BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “Saul ham te me hil nim na nguek na coi ve? Israel manghai lamloh anih te ka hnawt coeng. Na ki situi than lamtah cet laeh. A ca rhoek khui lamkah te kamah kah manghai la ka hmuh coeng dongah Bethlehem Jesse taengla nang kan tueih coeng,” a ti nah.
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.”
2Tedae Samuel loh, “Metlam ka caeh eh? Saul loh a yaak vetih kai n'ngawn ni ta,” a ti nah. BOEIPA loh, “Saelhung khuikah vaitola te na kut dongah khuen lamtah, 'BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla ka pawk coeng,” ti nah.
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.’
3Tedae, “Hmueih vaengah Jesse te khue lamtah na saii ham te kai loh kan tueng vetih nang taengah, 'Anih ka ti,’ te kai ham hang koelh,” a ti nah.
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.”
4BOEIPA loh a thui te Samuel loh a saii tih Bethlehem a pha hatah anih doe ham te khopuei ka a hamca rhoek lakueng uh tih, “Sading la na pawk dae a?,” a ti na uh.
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?”
5Te dongah, “BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla sading la ka pawk coeng. Ciim uh lamtah hmueih ah kai taengla halo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Jesse neh a ca rhoek te a ciim tih amih te hmueih ah a khue.
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 pha vaengah Eliab te a hmuh hatah, “BOEIPA hmaiah amah kah a koelh pawn maco he,” a ti.
6When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”
7Tedae BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A mueimae neh a song a sang te paelki boeh. Hlang kah a hmuh bangla a hmuh pawt dongah anih te a hnawt pah. Hlang loh a suisak te a hmuh dae BOEIPA loh a thinko ni a hmuh,” a ti nah.
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.”
8Te dongah Jesse loh Abinadab te a khue tih Samuel mikhmuh ah a thak hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
8Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
9Te phoeiah Jesse loh Shammah te athawt hatah, “Anih te khaw BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
9Next Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
10Jesse loh a parhih ca te Samuel hmai ah a thawt coeng dae Jesse te Samuel loh, “Amih te BOEIPA loh a tuek moenih,” a ti nah.
10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The LORD has not chosen any of these.”
11Te dongah Jesse te Samuel loh, “Camoe rhoek te boeih pawn a?” a ti nah. Tedae, “A noe om pueng dae boiva la a luem puei ke,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Samuel loh Jesse te, “Hlang tueih lamtah anih te loh sak, anih hela ha pawk duela mael uh boel dae sih,” a ti nah.
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.”
12A tah tih ha pawk vaengah anih a lingphung la sakthen mik neh mueihmuh khaw then. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Thoo lamtah anih heBOEIPAamah ham koelh laeh,” a ti nah.
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.”
13Te daengah Samuel loh situi ki te a loh tih a manuca rhoek kah lakli ah David te a koelh. Te dongah te khohnin lamlong tah BOEIPA kah Mueihla loh David te sarhi a tak tih a so la cungphoek hang. Te phoeiah Samuel te thoo tih Ramah la cet.
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.
14Tahae ah BOEIPA kah Mueihla tah Saul taeng lamloh nong coeng tih BOEIPA lamkah mueihla thae loh anih te a let sak coeng.
14After the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.
15Te dongah Saul te a sal rhoek loh, “Pathen kah mueihla thae loh nang n'let sak coeng he.
15Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.
16Na mikhmuh kah na sal rhoek taengah ka boeipa loh thui lamtah rhotoeng tum aka ming hlang pakhat te tlam uh saeh. Te daengah ni Pathen kah mueihla thae te nang soah a om a om vaengah a kut neh rhotoeng te a tum vetih nang ham a then eh?,” a ti na uh.
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.”
17Te dongah Saul loh a sal rhoek te, “Kai hamla a tum aka then hlang te so lamtah kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
17And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”
18Te vaengah camoe rhoek khuikah pakhat loh a doo tih, “Bethlehem Jesse capa te ka hmuh dae ta. Anih loh a tum thai tih tatthai hlangrhalh, caemtloek hlang, olka aka yakming, a suisak neh aka om hlang la om tih anih te BOEIPA loh a om puei bal,” a ti nah.
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.”
19Saul loh Jesse taengla puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih, “Na capa David, boiva taengah aka om te kai taengla han tueih dae,” a ti nah.
19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
20Te dongah Jesse loh laak, vaidam, misur tuitang, maae ca pakhat te a loh tih a capa David kut dongah Saul taengla a pat.
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.
21David te Saul taengla a pawk vaengah a mikhmuh ah pai. Te vaengah anih te bahoeng a lungnah dongah anih kah hnopai phuei la pahoi a om sak.
21When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul admired him greatly, and David became his armor-bearer.
22Te phoeiah Saul loh Jesse taengla hlang a tueih tih, “David he ka mikhmuh ah mikdaithen a dang coeng dongah ka mikhmuh ah om saeh,” a ti nah.
22Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
23Pathen kah mueihla loh Saul te a pha tih a om thil takuem vaengah, David loh rhotoeng a loh tih a kut neh a tum pah. Te vaengah Saul dongkah mueihla thae a nong dongah amah khaw hoengpoek tih a then pah.
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.
