1 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, War ilaa goormaad Saa'uul u ooyaysaa, adigoo og inaan u diiday inuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor u ahaado? Haddaba geeskaaga saliid ka buuxso oo tag, waxaan kuu dirayaa Yesay oo ah reer Beytlaxam; waayo, boqor baan wiilashiisa ka dhex doortay.

The Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided for Myself a king among his sons.

2 O o Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Sidee baan u tegi karaa? Waayo, haddii Saa'uul taas maqlo wuu i dili doonaa. Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad kaxaysataa qaalin lo' ah, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Waxaan u imid inaan Rabbiga allabari u bixiyo.

Samuel said, How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take a heifer with you and say, I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.

3 O o Yesay allabariga ugu yeedh, waanan ku tusi doonaa waxaad samayn doonto; oo waxaad ii subagtaa kii aan kuu magacaabo.

And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.

4 O o Samuu'eelna wuxuu Rabbigu kala hadlay ayuu sameeyey, wuxuuna yimid Beytlaxam. Oo odayaashii magaaladuna way ka hor tageen, iyagoo gariiraya, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Nabad ma u timid?

And Samuel did what the Lord said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming and said, Have you come peaceably?

5 M arkaasuu yidhi, Haah, nabad baan u imid, waxaanan u imid inaan Rabbiga allabari u bixiyo. Haddaba isa soo daahiriya, oo kaalaya, meesha allabariga ii raaca. Markaasuu wuxuu daahirshay Yesay iyo wiilashiisii, dabadeedna meeshii allabariga buu ugu yeedhay.

And he said, Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and called them to the sacrifice.

6 O o markay yimaadeen wuxuu fiiriyey Elii'aab, oo yidhi, Hubaal kii Rabbigu subkaday ayaa hortiisa jooga.

When they had come, he looked on Eliab and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.

7 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Ha fiirin soojeedkiisa, ama dhererkiisa, maxaa yeelay, waan diiday isaga. Rabbigu wax uma arko sida dadku wax u arko, waayo, dadku wuxuu fiiriyaa muuqashada dusha, Rabbiguse qalbiguu fiiriyaa.

But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

8 M arkaasaa Yesay u yeedhay Abiinaadaab, oo soo mariyey Samuu'eel hortiisa, Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu kanna ma uu dooran.

Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, Neither has the Lord chosen this one.

9 O o haddana Yesay wuu soo hor mariyey Shammaah. Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu kanna ma dooran.

Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. Samuel said, Nor has the Lord chosen him.

10 Y esayna wuxuu Samuu'eel soo hor mariyey toddoba wiilashiisii ka mid ah. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, Rabbigu kuwan ma dooran.

Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen any of these.

11 S amuu'eelna wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, War carruurtaadii halkan ma wada joogaan? Markaasuu yidhi, Weli waxaa hadhay kii ugu yaraa, oo idahuu ilaalinayaa. Oo haddana Samuu'eel wuxuu Yesay ku yidhi, Cid u dir oo keen; waayo, innagu fadhiisan mayno jeeruu halkan yimaado.

Then said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.

12 M arkaasuu u cid diray, oo soo geliyey. Oo isna wuxuu ahaa mid cas, oo soojeed qurxoon, oo midabkiisuna aad u wanaagsan yahay. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Kac, oo subag, waayo, kanu waa isagii.

Jesse sent and brought him. David had a healthy reddish complexion and beautiful eyes, and was fine-looking. The Lord said, Arise, anoint him; this is he.

13 M arkaasaa Samuu'eel qaaday geeskii saliiddu ku jirtay, wuuna ku subkay isagoo walaalihiis dhex jooga; oo maalintaas intii ka dambaysay Ruuxii Rabbigu aad buu ugu soo degay Daa'uud. Dabadeedna Samuu'eel wuu kacay, oo Raamaah buu tegey. Daa'uud Oo U Adeegayaa Saa'uul

Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

14 H addaba Ruuxii Rabbigu Saa'uul wuu ka tegey, oo ruux shar leh oo xagga Rabbiga ka yimid ayaa dhibay isagii.

But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented and troubled him.

15 M arkaasaa Saa'uul addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, haatan waxaa ku dhibaya ruux shar leh oo xagga Ilaah ka yimid.

Saul’s servants said to him, Behold, an evil spirit from God torments you.

16 S ayidkayagow, nagu amar annagoo ah addoommadaada ku hor jooga inaannu kuu doondoonno nin aad kataaradda u yaqaan; oo markuu ruuxa sharka leh ee xagga Ilaah ka yimid kugu soo dego, ayuu kataaradda garaaci doonaa, waanad bogsan doontaa.

Let our lord now command your servants here before you to find a man who plays skillfully on the lyre; and when the evil spirit from God is upon you, he will play it, and you will be well.

17 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Ii doona nin aad u yaqaan, oo ii keena.

Saul told his servants, Find me a man who plays well and bring him to me.

18 D abadeedna raggii dhallinyarada ahaa midkood ayaa ku jawaabay oo yidhi, Waxaan arkay Yesayga reer Beytlaxam wiil uu dhalay oo aad u yaqaan sida kataaradda lagu dhufto oo ah nin xoog leh oo dagaalyahan ah, codkarna ah, oo suurad qurxoon, oo weliba Rabbiguna wuu la jiraa.

One of the young men said, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who plays skillfully, a valiant man, a man of war, prudent in speech and eloquent, an attractive person; and the Lord is with him.

19 S idaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wargeeyayaal buu u diray Yesay oo ku yidhi, Wiilkaaga Daa'uud oo idaha ilaalinaya ii soo dir.

So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.

20 M arkaasaa Yesay wuxuu soo kexeeyey dameer ku raran kibis iyo sibraar khamri ah, iyo orgi yar, oo Saa'uul buu u diray. Wuxuuna ugu sii dhiibay wiilkiisii Daa'uud.

And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a kid and sent them by David his son to Saul.

21 M arkaasaa Daa'uud Saa'uul u yimid, oo hortiisuu soo istaagay, oo isna aad buu u jeclaaday Daa'uud, oo wuxuu Saa'uul u noqday kii hubka u siday.

And David came to Saul and served him. Saul became very fond of him, and he became his armor-bearer.

22 K olkaasaa Saa'uul farriin u diray Yesay oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ii daa Daa'uud, hortayda ha joogee, waayo, isagu aad buu iiga farxiyey.

Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David remain in my service, for he pleases me.

23 O o markuu ruuxii sharka lahaa ee xagga Ilaah ka yimid Saa'uul ku soo degay ayaa Daa'uud qaatay kataaraddiisii, oo garaacay, dabadeedna Saa'uul wuu qaboobay, wuuna bogsaday, oo ruuxii sharka lahaana waa ka tegey.

And when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took a lyre and played it; so Saul was refreshed and became well, and the evil spirit left him.
