ପ୍ରଥମ ଶାମୁୟେଲ 16:14-22

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

15 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

14 ମାତ୍ର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମା ଶାଉଲଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କଲେ। ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଏକ ମନ୍ଦ ଆତ୍ମା ତାଙ୍କୁ ବିରକ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା।
But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

15 ଶାଉଲଙ୍କର ଦାସମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକ ମନ୍ଦ ଆତ୍ମା ଆପଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବିରକ୍ତ କରୁଛି।
And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

16 ଜଣେ ନିପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ ବୀଣାବାଦକ ଅନ୍ବଷେଣ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଥିବା ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା କରନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେି ମନ୍ଦ ଆତ୍ମା ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆ ସେ, ଯଦି ସେ ଲୋକ ବୀଣା ବଜାଏ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବହକ୍ସ୍ଟତ ଭଲ ସମବଦନୋ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବ।
Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

17 ଶାଉଲ ଆପଣା ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆଛା ଯେ ଭଲ ବଜାଇ ପା ରେ ସହେିପରି ଏକ ଲୋକକୁ ମାେ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣ।
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

18 ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜଣେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ କହିଲା, ଦେଖନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମୁ ବୈଥ୍ଲହମେୀଯ ୟିଶୀର ଏକ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ରଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଖିଅଛି। ସେ ବୀଣା ବଜାଇବା ରେ ନିପୂଣ ଓ ମହାବିକ୍ରମଶାଳୀ ୟୋଦ୍ଧା ଓ କଥା ରେ ବିଜ୍ଞ, ଆଉ ରୂପବାନ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କ ପାଖେ ପାଖେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

19 ତେଣୁ ଶାଉଲ ୟିଶୀ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇ ତାହାଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଦାଉଦ ଯେ ମଷେପଲ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଥାଏ, ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମାେ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇ ଦିଅ।
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

20 ତା'ପରେ ୟିଶୀ କବଳେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇଲେ ନାହିଁ, ତା ସହିତ ଶାଉଲ ନିମନ୍ତେ କିଛି ଉପହାର ପଠାଇଲେ: ଗୋଟିଏ ଛଳେି ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗଧ ରେ ବୋଝାଇ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଓ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପଠାଇଲେ।
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21 ଏହାପରେ ଦାଉଦ ଶାଉଲଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସି ତାଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହେଲେ ଓ ଶାଉଲ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅତିଶଯ ସ୍ନହେ କଲେ, ତହିଁରେ ସେ ତାଙ୍କର ଅସ୍ତ୍ରବାହକ ସାହାୟ୍ଯକାରୀ ହେଲେ।
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

22 ଏହାପରେ ଶାଉଲ ୟିଶୀଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକ ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ପଠାଇଲେ, ମୁ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛି ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମାେ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଛିଡା ହବୋକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦିଅ, ସେ ମାରେ ସବୋ କରିବ, କାରଣ ମୁ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଭଲ ପାଏ।
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
