Davida o tlotswa hore e be kgosi
1Morena a re ho Samuele: “O tla llela Saule ho le hokae, ha e le moo ke mo furaletse, hore e se be kgosi ya Iseraele? Tlatsa lenaka la hao ole, mme o tsamaye. Ke tla o romela ho Jese wa Betlelehema, hobane ke ikgethetse kgosi hara bara ba hae.”
2Samuele a re: “Ke tla ya jwang? Haeba Saule a ka utlwela taba ena o tla mpolaya!”
Morena a re: “O tle o nke sethole, o re: ‘Ke tlile ho etsetsa Morena sehlabelo.’ 3Ebe o bitsetsa Jese sehlabelong sena, mme ke tla o tsebisa seo o tla se etsa. O tla ntlotsetsa eo ke tla o bolella yena.”
4Samuele a etsa seo Morena a mo laetseng sona, mme a fihla Betlelehema. Baholo ba motse oo ba mo kgahlanyetsa ba ntse ba thothomela, mme ba re: “Na o tlile ka kgotso?”
5Yaba Samuele o re: “E, ke tlile ka kgotso, ho tla etsetsa Morena sehlabelo. Itlhwekiseng, le tle le nna sehlabelong.” A hlwekisa Jese le bara ba hae, a ba bitsetsa sehlabelong.
6Ha ba se ba fihlile, Samuele a bona Eliabe, mme a re: “Ruri motlotsuwa wa Morena ke enwa kapele ho Morena.”
7Empa Morena a re ho Samuele: “O se ke wa tadima sebopeho sa hae, kapa bophahamo ba seemo sa hae, hobane ha ke mo amohele. Morena ha a tadime jwalokaha motho a tadima. Motho o tadima sebopeho se kantle, athe Morena yena o tadima pelo.”
8Yaba Jese o bitsa Abinadabe, a re a fete kapele ho Samuele, empa Samuele a re: “Le enwa Morena ha a ya mo kgetha.”
9Jese a re Shamma a fete kapele ho Samuele. Samuele a boela a re: “Le enwa Morena ha a ya mo kgetha.” 10Jese a re bara ba hae ba supileng ba fete kapele ho Samuele, empa Samuele a re ho Jese: “Le ho bona bana Morena ha a ya kgetha.” 11Samuele a re ho Jese: “Na ha o sa na bara ba bang?”
Jese a re: “Wa ho fela o sa le teng, feela yena ke modisana wa dinku.”
Samuele a re ho Jese: “Roma motho a yo mo lata, hobane re ke ke ra ba ra ja a eso ka a fihla mona.”
12Jese a roma motho ho mo lata, mme a tla le yena. O ne a le mosehla ka lebala, mahlo a hae a le matle, sebopeho sa hae se kgahleha.
Jwale Morena a re: “Ema, o mo tlotse, hobane enwa ke yena.” 13Samuele a nka lenaka la ole, mme a mo tlotsa bana babo ba ntse ba le teng. Ho tloha ka letsatsi leo, ho ya pele, Moya wa Morena wa theohela hodima Davida ka matla. Yaba Samuele o a tsamaya, o boela Rama.
Saule o hloriswa ke moya o ditshila
14Jwale Moya wa Modimo o ne o se o tlohile ho Saule, mme moya o ditshila, o rometsweng ke Morena, o mo tshwenya.
15Yaba bahlanka ba Saule ba re ho yena: “Bona, moya o ditshila, o tswang ho Morena, o a o tshwenya. 16Monghadi wa rona, ako laele hore rona bahlanka ba hao, ba nang le wena mona, re batle monna eo e leng seletsi sa sebele sa harepa, e le hore ha moya ona o ditshila, o tswang ho Modimo, o o fihlela, a tle a e letse, ebe o a hlaphohelwa.”
17Saule a re ho bahlanka ba hae: “Mpatleleng monna ya tsebang ho letsa hantle, le mo tlise ho nna mona.”
18E mong wa bahlankana a araba, a re: “Ke bone mora wa Jese wa Betlelehema, ya tsebang ho letsa harepa hantle. Ke monna wa senatla, le mohlabani ya sebete, ebile ke kgeleke ha a bua. Ke monna ya sebopeho se kgahlehang, mme Morena o na le yena.”
19Saule a romela maqosa ho Jese, a re: “Nthomelle Davida, mora wa hao, eo e leng modisana wa dinku.” 20Jese a nka tonki e belesitsweng bohobe, le lekuka la veine, le potsanyane, mme a roma mora wa hae Davida ho di isetsa Saule.
21Davida a fihla ho Saule, a ema kapele ho yena. Saule a mo rata haholo, mme ya eba yena mojari wa dihlomo tsa Saule. 22Saule a romela molaetsa ho Jese, a re: “Ke a o rapela: Ako dumelle Davida hore a dule le nna, a ntshebeletse, hobane ke a mo rata.”
23E ne e ye ere ha moya o ditshila, o tswang ho Modimo, o fihletse Saule, Davida a nke harepa, a e letse, ebe Saule o a hlaphohelwa, o phela hantle; moya o ditshila oo ebe o tswa ho Saule.
