1 Samuel 10
1 Unya gikuha ni Samuel ang tibod sa lana, gibubo kini sa ulo ni Saul, ug gihagkan siya. Miingon siya, “Dili ba si Yahweh nagdihog man kanimo aron nga mahimo kang pangulo sa iyang mga kaliwatan?
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 Inig biya nimo kanako karong adlawa, makakita ka ug duha ka tawo duol sa lubnganan ni Raquel, diha sa ginsakopan sa Benjamin didto sa Zelza. Moingon sila kanimo, 'Ang mga asno nga inyong gipangita nakaplagan na. Karon ang imong amahan wala na nagpakabana sa asno ug nabalaka na bahin kanimo, nga nag-ingon, “Unsa man ang angay kong buhaton sa akong anak?'”
[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 Unya gikan didto mopadayon ka, ug makaabot ka sa kahoy nga tugas sa Tabor. Mahimamat mo ang tulo ka tawo nga moadto sa Dios sa Betel, ang usa nagdala ug tulo ka nating kanding, ang usa nagdala ug tulo ka buok nga tinapay, ug ang usa nagdala ug nagdala ug bino nga gisulod sa panit nga sudlanan,
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 Timbayaon ka nila ug hatagan ug duha ka tinapay, nga imong dawaton gikan sa ilang mga kamot.
They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.
5 Pagkahuman niana, moadto ka sa bungtod sa Dios, diin atua nahimutang ang kampo sa mga Filistihanon. Sa pag-abot nimo sa siyudad, masugatan nimo ang pundok sa mga propeta nga nanglugsong gikan sa hataas nga dapit ug aduna silay dala nga alpa, tambor, plawta ug lira; managna sila.
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 Ang Espiritu ni Yahweh mokunsad diha kanimo, ug managna ka uban kanila, ug mabag-o ka ingon nga lahi nga tawo.
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 Karon, kung kini nga mga ilhanan mahitabo kanimo, buhata ang bisan unsa nga maayong buhaton, kay ang Dios uban kanimo.
After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.
8 Pag-una kanako didto sa Gilgal. Unya mosunod ako kanimo aron maghalad ug mga halad sinunog ug maghalad ug mga halad sa pakigdait. Hulata ako sulod sa pito ka adlaw hangtod nga maabot ako ug ipakita ko kanimo ang angay mong buhaton.”
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 Sa pagtalikod na ni Saul aron sa pagbiya kang Samuel, ang Dios naghatag kaniya ug bag-ong kasingkasing. Unya ang tanang mga ilhanan nahitabo nianang adlawa.
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 Sa dihang miabot sila sa bungtod, adunay pundok sa mga propeta nga misugat kaniya, ug ang Espiritu sa Dios mikunsad kaniya busa nanagna siya uban kanila.
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 Sa dihang ang mga tawo nga nakaila kaniya nakakita nga nanagna siya uban ang mga propeta, ang mga tawo nagsultihanay, “Unsay nahitabo sa anak nga lalaki ni Kis? Usa na ba ka propeta karon si Saul?”
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 Ang usa ka tawo nga anaa sa samang dapit ang mitubag, “Ug kinsa man ilang amahan?” Tungod niini, nahimo kining usa ka panultihon, “Usa na ba diay si Saul sa mga propeta?”
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 Sa dihang nahuman siya ug panagna, miadto siya sa hataas nga dapit.
When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.
14 Unya ang uyoan ni Saul miingon kaniya ug sa iyang sulugoon, “Hain man kamo gikan?” Unya mitubag siya, “Nangita kami sa mga asno; kay wala man namo nakit-an, miadto kami kang Samuel,”
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 Miingon ang uyoan ni Saul, “Palihog sultihi ko kung unsay giingon ni Samuel kanimo.”
Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”
16 Si Saul mitubag sa iyang uyoan,” Misulti siya kanamo nga nakaplagan na ang mga asno.” Apan wala niya siya sultihi mahitungod sa mga butang sa gingharian, nga gisugilon ni Samuel.
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 Karon gipatawag ni Samuel ang katawhan diha sa atubangan ni Yahweh sa Mizpa.
[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.
18 Miingon siya sa katawhan sa Israel, “Mao kini ang giingon ni Yahweh, ang Dios sa Israel: 'Akong gipagawas ang Israel gikan sa Ehipto, ug giluwas ko kamo gikan sa kamot sa mga Ehiptohanon, ug gikan sa mga kamot sa tanang mga gingharian nga nagdaogdaog kaninyo.'
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 Apan karong adlawa gisalikway ninyo ang inyong Dios, nga maoy nagluwas kaninyo gikan sa inyong mga katalagman ug mga kalisdanan; ug miingon kamo kaniya, 'Pagpili ug hari alang kanamo.' Karon pagtapok kamo sumala sa inyong tribo ug sa inyong mga banay sa atubangan ni Yahweh.”
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 Busa gipaduol ni Samuel ang tanang tribo sa Israel, ug ang tribo ni Benjamin maoy napili.
When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.
21 Unya iyang gipaduol ang tribo ni Benjamin sumala sa ilang mga banay; unya ang banay nga Matrihanon mao ang napili; ug si Saul nga anak ni Kis mao ang napili. Apan sa dihang nangita sila kaniya, wala siya makaplagi.
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 Unya ang katawhan buot pang mangutana sa Dios, “Anaa pa bay laing tawo nga moabot?” Si Yahweh mitubag, “Mitago siya luyo sa mga kasangkapan.” Unya nanagan sila ug gikuha si Saul gikan didto.
So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”
23 Unya pagtindog niya taliwala diha sa katawhan, labing taas gayod siya kaysa ni bisan kinsang tawo tungod kay ang mga tawo tupong lamang sa iyang abaga.
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 Unya miingon si Samuel sa katawhan, “Nakita ba ninyo ang tawo nga gipili ni Yahweh? Wala gayoy sama kaniya sa tanang katawhan. Unya ang tibuok katawhan misinggit, “Mabuhi ang hari!”
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 Unya si Samuel misulti sa katawhan sa mga pamaagi ug sa mga pamalaod sa pagkahari, ug gisulat kini sa basahon, ug gibutang sa atubangan ni Yahweh. Unya gipapauli ni Samuel ang katawhan sa tagsa-tagsa nila ka panimalay.
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 Mipauli usab si Saul sa iyang balay sa Gabaon, ug kauban niya ang pipila ka kusgan nga mga lalaki, kansang kasingkasing gihikap sa Dios.
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 Apan pipila ka bugalbugalon nga mga tawo ang miingon, “Unsaon man niining tawhana pagluwas kanato?” Kining mga tawhana ang mitamay kang Saul ug wala nila siya gihatagan ug bisan unsang gasa. Apan si Saul nagpakahilom lamang.
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].
