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 there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, a mighty man of power.
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 young man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he: from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than any of 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 Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, 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 he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and [there they were] not: and he passed through the land of the Benjaminites, but they 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 had come to the land of Zuf, Saul said to his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave [caring] for the asses, and be anxious 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 now, [there is] in this city a man of God, and [he is] an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; it may be he can show us our way that we should go.
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.”
Then said Saul to his servant, But behold, [if] we go, what shall we bring to the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and [there] is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
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 servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: [that] will I give to the man of God, to 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.”)
(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for [he that is] now [called] a Prophet was formerly called a Seer.)
Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go: so they went to the city where the man of God [was].
[And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he is] before you: make haste now, for he came to-day to the city; for [there is] a sacrifice of the people to-day 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 ye shall enter the city, ye will straightway find him, before he goeth up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he cometh, because he doth bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up: for about this time ye will 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 had come into the city, behold, Samuel came out meeting them, to go up to the high place.
15 Be aya Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i galu,
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a 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.”
To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people from the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has 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 same 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?”
Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is].
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] the seer: go up before me to the high place; for ye shall eat with me to-day, and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will 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 thy asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is] all the desire of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on 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 answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then speakest thou so 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.
And Samuel took Saul, and his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the chief place among them that were invited, who [were] about thirty persons.
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, of which I said to thee, Set it 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 [that] which [was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said, Behold that which is left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat; for to this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So 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 when they had come down from the high place into the city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
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 they rose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Arise, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
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 to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on, ) but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.
