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.
And [there was] a man of the sons of Benjamin, and his name [was] Kis, the son of Abiel, the son of Jared, the son of Bachir, the son of Aphec, the son of a Benjamite, a man of might.
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 this man [had] a son, and his name was Saul, of great stature, a goodly man; and there was not among the sons of Israel a goodlier than he, high above all the people from his shoulders and upward.
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 Kis the father of Saul were lost; and Kis said to Saul his son, Take with you one of the young men, and arise you, and go seek the asses.
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 they went through mount Ephraim, and they went through the land of Selcha, and found them not: and they passed through the land of Segalim, and they were not there: and they passed through the land of Jamin, 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 came to Siph, then Saul said to his young man that was with him, Come and let us return, lest my father leave the asses, and take care 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 the young man said to him, Behold now, [there is] a man of God in this city, and the man [is] of high repute; all that he shall speak will surely come to pass: now then let us go, that he may tell us our way on which we have set out.
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 young man that was with him, Behold, then, we will go; but what shall we bring the man of God? for the loaves are spent out of our vessels, and we have nothing more with us that belongs to us to bring to the man of God.
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.”
And the young man answered Saul again, and said, Behold, there is found in my hand a fourth part of a shekel of silver; and you shall give it to the man of God, and he shall 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 before time in Israel every one in going to enquire of God said, Come and let us go to the seer; for the people beforetime called the prophet, the seer.
And Saul said to his servant, Well said, come and let us go: and they went to the city where the man of God was.
As they went up the ascent to the city, they find damsels come out to draw water, and they say to them, Is the seer here?
And the virgins answered them, and they say to them, He is: behold, [he is] before you: now he is coming to the city, because of the day, for today [there is] a sacrifice for the people in Bama.
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 shall enter into the city, so shall you find him in the city, before he goes up to Bama to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes in, for he blesses the sacrifice, and afterwards the guests eat; now then go up, for you shall find him because of the holiday.
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 go up to the city; and as they were entering into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel came out to meet them, to go up to Bama.
15 Be aya Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i galu,
And the Lord uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before Saul came to him, 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.”
At this time to-morrow I will send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall 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 upon the humiliation of my people, for 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 Samuel looked upon Saul, and the Lord answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to you, this one shall rule 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 drew near to Samuel into the midst of the city, and said, Tell me now which [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, and said, I am he: go up before me to Bama, and eat with me today, and I will send you away in the morning, and I will tell you all that is in your 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 concerning your asses that have been lost now these three days, care not for them, for they are found. And to whom does the excellency of Israel belong? does it not to you and to your 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 answered and said, Am not I the son of a Benjamite, the least tribe of the people of Israel? and of the least family of the whole tribe of Benjamin? and why have you spoken to me according to this word?
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.
And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them to the inn, and set them there a place among the chief of those that were called, about seventy 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, Give me the portion which I gave you, which I told you to set by you.
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.
Now the cook [had] boiled the shoulder, and he set it before Saul; and Samuel said to Saul, Behold that which is left: set before you, an eat; for it is set you for a testimony in preference to the others; take [of it]: and Saul ate with Samuel on 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 he went down from Bama into the city; and they prepared a lodging for Saul on the roof, and he lay down.
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.
An it came to pass when the morning dawned, that Samuel called Saul on the roof, saying, Rise up, and I will dismiss you. And Saul arose, and he and Samuel went out.
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.”
As they went down to a part of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Speak to the young man, and let him pass on before us; and do you stand as today, and listen to the word of God.
