1Jehofa a re go Samuele: “O tla llela Saulo go fihla neng, ka ge ke mo lahlile gore a se buše Isiraele? Tlatša lenaka la gago ka makhura, o sepele, ke go romele go Jese wa Mobetlelehema, ka gobane ke itlhametše kgoši gare ga barwa ba gagwe.
2Samuele a re: “Nka sepela bjang?” Saulo o tla e kwa, a mpolaya. Morena a re: “Tšea temana, o re: Ke tlile go direla Jehofa dihlabelo.”
3Bitša Jese sehlabelong, ke go bontšhe seo o swanetšego go se dira; o mphile yo ke mo biditšego.
4Samuele a dira tše Jehofa a di boletšego, a fihla Betlelehema. Bagolo ba motse ba tšhoga ge a fihla go bona, ba re: Na o tla ka khutšo?
5A re: “Ka khutšo: Ke tlile go direla Jehofa dihlabelo; ikgethefatšeng, le tle le nna sehlabelong. A kgethagatša Jese le barwa ba gagwe, a ba bitša sehlabelong.
6Ge ba fihla, a lebelela Eliaba a re: “Ruri Motlotšwa wa Jehofa o na le yena.”
7Eupša Jehofa a re go Samuele: “O se ke wa lebelela ponagalo ya gagwe le botelele bja gagwe; gobane ke mo lahlile; gobane ga se tsela yeo motho a bonago ka yona yeo Modimo a bonago ka yona; gobane motho o lebelela ponagalo ya ka ntle, eupša Jehofa o lebelela pelo.
8Ke moka Jese a bitša Abinadaba, a mo feta pele ga Samuele. O ile a re: Jehofa le yena ga se a mo kgetha.
9Ke moka Jese a lesa Shama a feta. O ile a re: Jehofa le yena ga se a mo kgetha.
10Jese a dira gore barwa ba gagwe ba šupago ba fete pele ga Samuele. Samuele a re go Jese: “Morena ga se a kgetha se.”
11Samuele a re go Jese: “Na bana ba gago ka moka ba mo?” A re: “Go sa na le o tee, o diša dinku.” Samuele a re go Jese: “Roma go mo lata, gobane re ka se dule fase go fihlela a fihla mo.”
12A roma ba yo mo lata. O be a le lešweu, a le botse, a le botse. Morena a re: Tsoga o mo tlotše, gobane ke yena yo.
13Ke moka Samuele a tšea lenaka la makhura a mo tlotša gare ga bana babo, gomme moya wa Jehofa wa tla go Dafida go tloga letšatšing leo go ya pele. Ke moka Samuele a tsoga a ya Rama.
14Eupša moya wa Jehofa wa tloga go Saulo, moya o mobe o tšwago go Jehofa wa mo tshwenya.
15Bahlanka ba Saulo ba re go yena: “Bona bjale, moya o mobe o tšwago go Modimo o go tshwenya.”
16Bjale anke mong wa rena a laele bahlanka ba gagwe gore ba nyake monna yo bohlale yo a nago le bokgoni bja go letša harepa; ge moya o mobe wa Modimo o le wela, o tla tla ka seatla sa gagwe, gomme o tla fodišwa.
17Saulo a re go bahlanka ba gagwe: “Mphepele monna yo a kgonago go bapala gabotse, le mo tliše go nna.”
18Gomme yo mongwe wa bahlanka ba gagwe a araba a re: “Bona, ke bone morwa wa Jese wa Mobetlelehema, gore ke monna yo mobotse, le monna yo matla, le yo a nago le kwešišo e botse, le bjalo ka monna yo mobotse; gomme Jehofa o na le yena.
19Ke moka Saulo a roma baromiwa go Jese a re: “Nthome Dafida morwa wa gago yo a nago le dinku.”
20Jese a tšea pokolo yeo e rwelego senkgwa, le lepotlelo la beine, le potsanyane, a di romela ka Dafida morwa wa gagwe go Saulo.
21Dafida a tla go Saulo, a ema pele ga gagwe. A ba morwadi wa dikotse tša gagwe.
22Saulo a romela Jese a re: “A Dafida a eme pele ga ka; gobane o amogetše mahlong a ka.
23Ya re ge moya o mobe o tšwago go Modimo o tlile godimo ga Saulo, Dafida a tšea lerumo la mokokotlo gomme a otla lerumo ka seatleng sa gagwe.
