1 A Gospod reče Samuilu: Dokle ćeš ti plakati za Saulom kad ga ja odbacih da ne caruje više nad Izrailjem? Napuni rog svoj ulja, i hodi da te pošaljem k Jeseju Vitlejemcu, jer između njegovih sinova izabrah sebi cara.
1 Y DIJO Jehová á Samuel: ¿Hasta cuándo has tú de llorar á Saúl, habiéndolo yo desechado para que no reine sobre Israel? Hinche tu cuerno de aceite, y ven, te enviaré á Isaí de Beth-lehem: porque de sus hijos me he provisto de rey.
1 Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”
2 A Samuilo reče: Kako da idem? Jer će čuti Saul, pa će me ubiti. A Gospod odgovori: Uzmi sa sobom junicu iz goveda, pa reci: Dođoh da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu.
2 Y dijo Samuel: ¿Cómo iré? Si Saúl lo entendiere, me matará. Jehová respondió: Toma contigo una becerra de la vacada, y di: A sacrificar á Jehová he venido.
2 Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” Yahweh said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh.’
3 I pozovi Jeseja na žrtvu, a ja ću ti pokazati šta ćeš činiti, i pomaži mi onog koga ti kažem.
3 Y llama á Isaí al sacrificio, y yo te enseñaré lo que has de hacer; y ungirme has al que yo te dijere.
3 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”
4 I učini Samuilo kako mu kaza Gospod, i dođe u Vitlejem; a starešine gradske uplašivši se istrčaše preda nj, i rekoše mu: Jesi li došao dobro?
4 Hizo pues Samuel como le dijo Jehová: y luego que él llegó á Beth-lehem, los ancianos de la ciudad le salieron á recibir con miedo, y dijeron: ¿Es pacífica tu venida?
4 Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
5 A on reče: Dobro; došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu; osveštajte se i hodite sa mnom na žrtvu. Pa osvešta i Jeseja i sinove njegove i pozva ih na žrtvu.
5 Y él respondió: Sí, vengo á sacrificar á Jehová; santificaos, y venid conmigo al sacrificio. Y santificando él á Isaí y á sus hijos, llamólos al sacrificio.
5 He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 I kad dođoše videvši Elijava reče: Jamačno je pred Gospodom pomazanik Njegov.
6 Y aconteció que como ellos vinieron, él vió á Eliab, y dijo: De cierto delante de Jehová está su ungido.
6 When they had come, he looked at Eliab, and said, “Surely Yahweh’s anointed is before him.”
7 Ali Gospod reče Samuilu: Ne gledaj na lice njegovo ni na visinu rasta njegovog, jer sam ga odbacio; jer ne gledam na šta čovek gleda: Čovek gleda šta je na očima, a Gospod gleda na srce.
7 Y Jehová respondió á Samuel: No mires á su parecer, ni á lo grande de su estatura, porque yo lo desecho; porque [Jehová mira] no lo que el hombre mira; pues que el hombre mira [lo que está] delante de sus ojos, mas Jehová mira el corazón.
7 But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”
8 I dozva Jesej Avinadava, i reče mu da ide pred Samuila. A on reče: Ni tog nije izabrao Gospod.
8 Entonces llamó Isaí á Abinadab, é hízole pasar delante de Samuel, el cual dijo: Ni á éste ha elegido Jehová.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “Yahweh has not chosen this one, either.”
9 Potom Jesej reče Sami da ide. A on reče: Ni tog nije izabrao Gospod.
9 Hizo luego pasar Isaí á Samma. Y él dijo: Tampoco á éste ha elegido Jehová.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, “Yahweh has not chosen this one, either.”
10 Tako reče Jesej te prođoše sedam sinova njegovih pred Samuila; a Samuilo reče Jeseju: Nije Gospod izabrao tih.
10 E hizo pasar Isaí sus siete hijos delante de Samuel; mas Samuel dijo á Isaí: Jehová no ha elegido á éstos.
10 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen these.”
11 Potom reče Samuilo Jeseju: Jesu li ti to svi sinovi? A on reče: Ostao je još najmlađi; eno ga, pase ovce. Tada reče Samuilo Jeseju: Pošlji, te ga dovedi, jer nećemo sedati za sto dokle on ne dođe.
11 Entonces dijo Samuel á Isaí: ¿Hanse acabado los mozos? Y él respondió: Aun queda el menor, que apacienta las ovejas. Y dijo Samuel á Isaí: Envía por él, porque no nos asentaremos á la mesa hasta que él venga aquí.
11 Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?” He said, “There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.”
12 I posla, te ga dovede. A beše smeđ, lepih očiju i lepog stasa. I Gospod reče: Ustani, pomaži ga, jer je to.
12 Envió pues [por él], é introdújolo; el cual era rubio, de hermoso parecer y de bello aspecto. Entonces Jehová dijo: Levántate y úngelo, que éste es.
12 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. Yahweh said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he.”
13 Tada Samuilo uze rog sa uljem, i pomaza ga usred braće njegove; i siđe duh Gospodnji na Davida i osta na njemu od tog dana. Potom usta Samuilo i otide u Ramu.
13 Y Samuel tomó el cuerno del aceite, y ungiólo de entre sus hermanos: y desde aquel día en adelante el espíritu de Jehová tomó á David. Levantóse luego Samuel, y volvióse á Rama.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
14 A duh Gospodnji otide od Saula, i uznemiravaše ga zao duh od Gospoda.
14 Y el espíritu de Jehová se apartó de Saúl, y atormentábale el espíritu malo de parte de Jehová.
14 Now Yahweh’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yahweh troubled him.
15 I rekoše Saulu sluge njegove: Gle, sada te uznemiruje zli duh Božiji.
15 Y los criados de Saúl le dijeron: He aquí ahora, que el espíritu malo de parte de Dios te atormenta.
15 Saul’s servants said to him, “See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
16 Neka gospodar naš zapovedi slugama svojim koje stoje pred tobom, da potraže čoveka koji zna udarati u gusle, pa kad te napadne zli duh Božji, neka udara rukom svojom, i odlakšaće ti.
16 Diga pues nuestro señor á tus siervos que están delante de ti, que busquen alguno que sepa tocar el arpa; para que cuando fuere sobre ti el espíritu malo de parte de Dios, él taña con su mano, y tengas alivio.
16 Let our lord now command your servants who are in front of you to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. Then when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will play with his hand, and you will be well.”
17 I reče Saul slugama svojim: Potražite čoveka koji zna dobro udarati u gusle, i dovedite mi ga.
17 Y Saúl respondió á sus criados: Buscadme pues ahora alguno que taña bien, y traédmelo.
17 Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”
18 A jedan između sluga njegovih odgovori i reče: Evo, ja znam sina Jeseja Vitlejemca, koji ume dobro udarati u gusle, i hrabar je junak i ubojnik, i pametan je i lep, i Gospod je s njim.
18 Entonces uno de los criados respondió, diciendo: He aquí yo he visto á un hijo de Isaí de Beth-lehem, que sabe tocar, y es valiente y vigoroso, y hombre de guerra, prudente en sus palabras, y hermoso, y Jehová es con él.
18 Then one of the young men answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and Yahweh is with him.”
19 I Saul posla ljude k Jeseju i poruči: Pošlji mi Davida sina svog koji je kod ovaca.
19 Y Saúl envió mensajeros á Isaí, diciendo: Envíame á David tu hijo, el que está con las ovejas.
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”
20 A Jesej uze magarca i hleba i mešinu vina i jedno jare, i posla Saulu po Davidu, sinu svom.
20 Y tomó Isaí un asno [cargado] de pan, y una vasija de vino y un cabrito, y enviólo á Saúl por mano de David su hijo.
20 Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
21 I David dođe k Saulu i izađe preda nj, i omile Saulu veoma, te ga postavi da mu nosi oružje.
21 Y viniendo David á Saúl, estuvo delante de él: y amólo él mucho, y fué hecho su escudero.
21 David came to Saul and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
22 Potom posla Saul k Jeseju i poruči: Neka David ostane kod mene, jer je našao milost preda mnom.
22 Y Saúl envió á decir á Isaí: Yo te ruego que esté David conmigo; porque ha hallado gracia en mis ojos.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”
23 I kad bi duh Božji napao Saula, David uzevši gusle udarao bi rukom svojom, te bi Saul odahnuo i bilo bi mu bolje, jer bi zli duh otišao od njega.
23 Y cuando el espíritu [malo] de parte de Dios era sobre Saúl, David tomaba el arpa, y tañía con su mano; y Saúl tenía refrigerio, y estaba mejor, y el espíritu malo se apartaba de él.
23 When the spirit from God was on Saul, David took the harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… him the person of mankind, and hath heeded the bonds of all men, hath considered the offspring of death, hath adverted to the origin of iniquity, and he saith, "For, behold, in iniquities I was conceived." Was David born of adultery; being born of Jesse, a righteous man, and his own wife?

Though again it be Samuel who is doing this, He saith unto him, "Mourn not thou for Saul." Though for his own sister one entreat, when it is not fitting, he again shall have the same sort of answer as Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face." Let us not then be looking open-mouthed towards others.

… generally, their variable conditions, so, very frequently is the Spirit in the soul; since He does not abide with those who, on account of the instability of their will, easily reject the grace which they have received. An instance of this is seen in Saul, and the seventy elders of the children of Israel, except Eldad and Medad, with whom …

… Benjamin, or the tribe of Benjamin He chose not, out of which a king already had begun to be; for thence there had been chosen Saul; whence because of the very proximity of the time, when he had been rejected and refused, and David chosen, this might conveniently have been said; but yet was not said: but he hath named …
