Amola dia da dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, Gode da Ea fi dunu gaga: ma: ne dima ilegei dagoi, amo dawa: digisu olelesu ba: ma.
Then Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.
2 Dia da na wali yolesisia, Bediamini soge ganodini, Selesa moilaiga amoi La: isele uli dogoia goi dunu aduna gousa: mu. Elea da dima adomu, dougi dia hogolalu amo da ba: i. Be dia ada da dougi yolei amoga bu hame da: i diosa, be diha fawane da: i diosa, amola e da gebewane di abulibaiyale adole ba: la, ‘Na da na manoma adi hamoma: bela: ?’
[And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen my son?’”
3 Di da amoinini ahoana Dabe sogebia sema ifa baia doaga: mu. Amogai dunu udiana da Bedele moilaiga Godema gobele sala afia: lebe ba: mu. Dunu afae e da goudi mano udiana oule manebe ba: mu. Eno amoea da agi gobei udiana agui ba: mu. Amola osoda da gadofo nodomei esa waini hano di nabane aguni manebe ba: mu.
When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.
4 Ilia da dima hahawane yosia: mu amo ilia agi gobei higagale, digili aduna imunu, amasea amo da dia lama.
They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.
5 Amalu di da Gode Ea agolo Gibia moilai gadenene amoga asili, Filisidini ilia ha wa: i diasu dialoba amoga doaga: mu. Gibia moilai logo holeiga di da balofede dunu gadigiwane, agoloa gadenene Godema oloda da: iya gobele salalu manebe ba: mu. Ilia da sani baidama, ilibu amola buni fulabosa dusa manebe ba: mu. Ilia da gafosa amola gesami hea: dudalebe ba: mu.
When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.
6 Hedolole asili, Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da dia da: i ganodini aligila sa: ili, Ea di ouligimu, amalu di da ilia gafobe amoga madelale gafomu amola dia da: i da afadenei ba: mu.
At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.
7 Amo liligi dima doaga: sea, Gode Ea dima olelebe ba: sea amanewane hamoma.
After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.
8 Di da na bisili Giliga: lega masunu. Amoga na da di gousa: le amola gobele salawane sia: ne gadosu hamomu, amola gilisili sia: ne gadosu hamomu. Amogai eso fesuale ouesalu, amasea na misini dima amane hamoma: ne sia: mu.”
Then go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should do.”
9 Solo da Sa: miuele yolesili masunusa: deligi galoba, Gode da Soloma hou eno i. Amola hou huluane Sa: miuele ea Soloma adoi huluane eso amogala doaga: i.
As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on that day.
10 Solo amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu ela da Gibiaga doaga: loba, balofede dunu gilisili dialu da e yosia: i. Be Gode Ea A: silibu da ema aliligila sa: iba: le, e da hedolole fasili balofede dunu oda amola bubuiya gamofogolalebe ba: i.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.
11 Dunu amo da musa: Solo dawa: i, ilia da Solo ea hamobe ba: le amola ilisu adole ba: i, “Gisa ea mano goe da abuli hamobela: ? Solo da balofede dunu hamobela: ?”
When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”
12 Dunu amoi fifilasu da amane adole ba: i, “Ma! Balofede dunu oda goe da nowala: ? Dia dawa: loba da ilia eda da nowala: ?” Amaiba: le, sia: ilia da wali sia: da, “Solo amola da dafawane balofede dunu hamobela: ?” amo sia: da amoga mui.
One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”
13 Solo da bubuluba gagaousa: lai dagoloba, e da agologa, gobele salasu oloda da: iya amoga gado heda: i.
When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.
14 Solo ea aeyama da Solo amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu ba: beba: le, elama adole ba: i, “Alia da habi lalu?” Solo da dabe adole i, “Ania da dougi hohogola lalu. Ania da dougi hame ba: beba: le, ania da Sa: miuelema ba: la asi.”
Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”
15 Solo ea aeyama da ema adole ba: i, “Amola e da alima adi sia: be?”
Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”
16 Solo da bu adole i, “E da anima amane sia: i. Ohe da ba: i dagoi.” Be e da ea aeyamama, Sa: miuele ea Solo da hina bagade dunu hamoma: ma sia: i, amo da ema hame adoi.
Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].
17 Sa: miuele da dunu huluane Misiba moilaiga Hina Godema gilisima: ne sia: i.
[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.
18 Amalu e da ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili ilia Hina Gode da dilima amane sia: sa, ‘Na da dili Idibidi soge ganodini esalu fadegalesi, amola Idibidi dunu ilia dili wadela: lesisa: besa: le, Na da gaga: i dagoi, amola dunu eno fi ilia dili banenesima: ne hamonanu, Na da gaga: i dagoi.
After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.
19 Na da dia Gode, Na fawane dilima se nabasu amola gasa bagade hou mabe amoga gaga: su, be wali dili da Na higale amola dilia dilisu hina bagade eno lamusa: Nama adole ba: i. Defeawane, amaiba: le dilia fisili dilia fi afae afae amola sosogo fi afae afae ladili Hina Gode midadi gegedoma.’”
I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”
20 Amalu, Sa: miuele da sosogo fi huluane gegedola misa: ne sia: i, amalu Hina Gode da Bediamini ea sosogo fi ilegei.
When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.
21 Amalu, Sa: miuele da Bediamini egaga fi dunu amo fawane ema gasiguda: ma: ne sia: i, amalu Ma: dili ea sosogo fi amo gadili aliagalesi ba: i. Amalu Ma: dili ea sosogo fi dunu ilia bu gasiguda: i, amola Solo, Gisa ea mano da bu gadili aliagai ba: i. Ilia da Solo hohogola lai, be e hame ba: beba: le,
Then Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.
22 ilia da Hina Godema adole ba: i, “Dunu eno da ganabela: ?” Hina Gode da adole i, “Solo da liligi sagomusa: lidili gala: su diasuha gadili wamoaligisa.”
So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”
23 Amalalu, ilia da hehenaia asili, dunu aligi dogoa Solo lelu amo oule misi. Amo ilia ba: loba, e da dunu sedadedafa, ela defele da afae hame ba: i.
So they quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.
24 Sa: miuele da dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ea lama: ne ilegei dunu amo da goea! Wegai da dunu niniga da e agoai afae hame.” Dunu huluane da wele sia: i, “Hina bagade da mae bogole, sedagawane fifi ahoanumu da defea!”
Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”
25 Sa: miuele da hina bagade ea hawa: hamosu amola eno ouligisu hou bai amo meloa da: iya dedene, sogebi hadigidafa amoga ligisi. Amalu dunu huluane afia: ma: ne sia: i.
Then Samuel told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.
26 Solo amolawane bu Gibiaga, buhagi. Gasa bagade dunu oda Gode ili dogoga digilisili gasa i dunu amolawane Solo fisili asi.
When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.
27 Be dunu oda noga: le hame dadawa: su dunu ilia da amane sia: i, “Dunu goea da ninima adi liligi ida: iwane gala hamoma: bela: ?” Ilia da Soloma higale, igili hahawane udigili iasu liligi afae ema hame gaguli misi.
But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].
