1 Sa:miuele 9
1 A: ibiele ea mano Gisa da Bediamini egaga fi amoga galu. Gisa da mimogoa dunu galu. A: ibiele da Silo ea mano galu. Gisa ea sosogo fi da Bigoula: de amola fidafa da Afaia.
Now I there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.
2 Gisa da dunu mano galu, ea dio da Solo. Solo da goi ayeligi galu. Amoga Isala: ili dunu, e amai defele da afae hame galu. Solo da dunu heda: le aligi amola ea da: da: loiwane ba: su da Isala: ili dunu eno huluane baligi.
And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.
3 Solo ea eda Gisa ea dougi da fisi ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gisa da Soloma amane sia: i, “Hawa: hamosu dunu afae lale, dougi fisi hogola masa.”
And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,
4 Ilia da agolo soge, Ifala: ime sogedili amola Sialaisia soge la: idili amo hohogola asi be dougi da hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da baligili Sia: ilime sogebi la: ididili hohogola asi, be dougi da amoga hame ba: i. Amalu ilia da Bediamini ea fifilasu sogebidili hohogola asi be hame ba: i.
And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.
5 Ilia da hohogola misini, Safe ea fifilasua amoi doaga: loba, Solo da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Ninia da nini fifilasua sinidigimu. Ada da dougi yoleiba: le dadawa: lu yolele, bu niniha dadawa: lala ganumu.”
And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.
6 Hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “Asa! Wele sia: gai moilai fi dunu afae da dunu ilia ema bagade nodosa amola ea sia: naba, bai ea sia: be liligi huluane defele didisa. Ninia da amo dunuma ahoa: di. Amasea e da dougi ea esalebe soge ninima olelemu.”
And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.
7 Solo da amane adole ba: i, “Ninia da ema ahoasea, ninia da adi liligi igili ima: bela: ? Ninia da ha: i manu ninia esaga dialebe afae hamegala, amola ninia da igili imunu liligi afae hamewane.”
And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.
8 Hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “Na da muni gasa fonobahadi afae gala. Na da amoane imunu, amalu e da dougi ea esalebe soge amo ninima olelemu.”
The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.
9 Solo da amane adole i, “Dia dawa: i go defeawane! Ninia ahoa: di.” Amalu ilia da hadigi dawa: su dunu ea esalebe soge amoga asi. Ilia da moilai fi amoga doaga: musa: agoloba: le heda: la, uda a: fini ilia hano dila mafiadalebe gousa: i. Ilia da uda a: fini ema adole ba: i. “Ba: la: lusu dunu da moilaiga esalabala?” (amo eso galu ilia da balofede dunuma ‘ba: la: lusu’ sia: su, amola nowa dunu da Godema adole ba: musa: dawa: sea, ilia da amane sia: su, “Ninia da ba: la: lusuma ahoa: di.”)
Now in time past, in Israel when a man went to consult God he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer.
And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come, let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was.
And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here?
They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came today into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place.
13 Uda a: fini ilima adole i, “Ma! E da esala! Dafawane! E da dili ahoaba gogusu. Dilia da hedolo ahoasea, dilia da e ba: mu. Dilia da moilai ganodini dasea, dilia e ba: mu. E da wali moilaiga doaga: i, bai dunu ilia da oloda da: iya agolo damana gobele salimu. Amoga hiougi dunu da ha: i mae nane, e doaga: ma: ne ouesala. Bai ea hidadea gobele sala sia: ne gadomu. Dilia waha ahoasea, e da agoloa gado hame heda: i galeawane, dilia da e ba: mu.”
As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come: because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up, for today you shall find him.
14 Amaiba: le, Solo amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia moilai ganodini sa: i. Ilia ganodini golili daha ba: loba, Sa: miuele da oloda da: iya gobele salimusa: ahoanebe ba: i.
And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.
15 Be aya Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i galu,
Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:
16 “Aya wewaba Na da Bediamini ea sosogo fi amoga dunu afae dima asunasimu. E da Na dunu fi Isala: ili ouligima: ne ema ilegele amalu ea dialuma da: iya susuligi soga: sima. Amalu, e da Filisidini ilia Isala: ili dunuma osa: la hedasa: besa: le gaga: mu. Na da Isala: ili dunu ilia se nababe ba: i, amola Na da ilia se naba didigia: be amola Nama fidima: ne wele sia: su nabi.”
Tomorrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.
17 Sa: miuele da Solo ba: loba, Hina Gode da ema agoane sia: i, “Dunu Na dima adolalu amo da goea! E da Na Isala: ili dunu ouligimu.”
And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.
18 Sa: miuele da logo golili dasu gadenene leloba, Solo da e ba: le, ema heda: i, amalu adole ba: i, “Dia sia: ma! Ba: la: lusu dunu da habi esalabala?”
And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?
19 Sa: miuele da bu adole i, “Ba: la: lusu dunu da na wea. Nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebiga gado ali hidadea bisili ahoanoma. Ali galu nini gilisili ha: i manu. Aya hahabe na da dia adole ba: i amo huluane na dima adodole ianu, na da ali da logoga masa: ne sia: mu.
And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer, go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me today, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart.
20 Be dougi eso udianaga yolei galu, amo da mae dawa: ma, amo da ba: i dagoi. Be Isala: ili dunu ilia hanai bagadedafa amo da adila: ? Amo da di. Di amola dia ada ea sosogo fi.”
And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father’s house?
21 Solo da adole i, “Na da Bediamini fi amogaga fi dunu. Amo fi da Isala: ili fi ganodini sosogo fi fonobahadidafa. Amola na fi ganodini, na sosogo fawane da mimogo hame. Abuliba: le di da nama agoane sia: bela: ?”
And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?
22 Amalalu, Sa: miuele da Solo amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu oule, sesei bagade ganodini oule heda: i. Amalu fisu noga: idafa amo da: iya fima: ne adoi. Amola, sesei ganodini hiougi dunu misi da 30 agoane ba: i.
Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.
23 Sa: miuele da ha: i manu gobesu dunuma amane sia: i, “Gebo hu a: i na dima hamega ligisiagama: ne iasi, amo gaguli misa.”
And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.
24 Amaiba: le ha: i manu gobesu dunu da masele dagai lale, gaguli misini, Solo baia soiyasi. Sa: miuele da amane sia: i “Ba: ma! Hu a: i na digili ligisi dialu amo da goea. Moma! Amo da na digili, dunu na hiougi amo masea amola moma: ne ligisi galu.” Amaiba: le, Solo da Sa: miuelela gilisili amo esoga ha: i mai.
And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat: because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day.
25 Ilia da gilisili sia: ne gadosu sogebia amoinini moilaiga gudu sa: ili, ilia da Solo golama: ne diasu figi da: iya wibi fofa: lesi,
And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house, and he slept.
26 amalu Solo da amo gado golai. Hahabedafa, Sa: miuele da Solo diasu gadodili golai dialu, ema wele sia: i “Wa: legadoma! Amola na da di masa: ne asunasimu.” Solo da wa: legadole, e amola Sa: miuele ele galu logoga asi.
And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them, to wit, he and Samuel.
27 Ilia da asili moilai bega: doaga: beba: le, Sa: miuele da Soloma amane sia: i, “Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da fisili hidadea ahoanoma: ne adoma!” Amalalu hawa: hamosu dunu da hidadea ahoanoba, Sa: miuele da bu sia: i, “Waha wi fonobahadi aligima, na da Gode Ea sia: i amo dima adodole imunu.”
And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.
