1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah has anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?
Tada Samuel uze uljanicu s uljem te je izli na glavu Šaulu; zatim ga poljubi i reče: “Ovim te Jahve pomazao za kneza nad svojim narodom Izraelom. Ti ćeš vladati nad narodom Jahvinim i izbavit ćeš ga iz ruke njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo. I evo ti znaka da te Jahve pomazao za kneza nad svojom baštinom.
2 When thou are departed from me today, then thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to thee, The donkeys which thou went to seek are found, and, lo, thy father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Kad odeš sada od mene, naći ćeš dva čovjeka kod Rahelina groba, na granici zemlje Benjaminove, u Selsahu. Oni će ti reći: 'Našle su se magarice koje si pošao tražiti; i gle, tvoj je otac zaboravio na magarice, a zabrinut je za vas i govori: Što da učinim za svoga sina?'
3 Then thou shall go on forward from there, and thou shall come to the oak of Tabor. And there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
A kad odeš odande dalje i dođeš do Taborskog Hrasta, srest ćeš ondje tri čovjeka koja će ići gore k Bogu u Betel. Jedan će nositi tri jareta, drugi tri okrugla kruha, a treći mijeh vina.
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
Oni će te pozdraviti i dat će ti dva kruha, a ti ih primi iz njihove ruke.
5 After that thou shall come to the hill of God where is the garrison of the Philistines. And it shall come to pass, when thou have come there to the city, that thou shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they will be prophesying.
Poslije toga doći ćeš u Gibeu Božju (gdje se nalazi filistejski stup). Kad uđeš u grad, namjerit ćeš se na povorku proroka koji će silaziti s uzvišice, a pred njima harfe, bubnjevi, frule i citre; oni će biti u proročkom zanosu.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
Tada će na te sići duh Jahvin te ćeš pasti u proročki zanos s njima i promijenit ćeš se u drugog čovjeka.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee, for God is with thee.
A kad ti se ispune ti znakovi, onda čini kako ti se prilika pruži jer je Bog s tobom.
8 And thou shall go down before me to Gilgal. And, behold, I will come down to thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Thou shall tarry seven days till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shall do.
Zatim ćeš sići preda mnom u Gilgal i ja ću sići k tebi da prinesem žrtve paljenice i žrtve pričesnice. Sedam dana čekaj dok ne dođem k tebi i ne poučim te što ćeš činiti.”
9 And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
Čim je Šaul okrenuo leđa da ode od Samuela, Bog mu promijeni srce i svi se oni znakovi ispuniše u onaj dan.
10 And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Kad su, naime, došli u Gibeu, gle, dođe mu u susret povorka proroka i duh Božji siđe na njega te on pade u proročki zanos usred njih.
11 And it came to pass, when all who knew him formerly saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
I kad su ga svi koji ga poznavahu otprije vidjeli gdje prorokuje s prorocima, počeše govoriti jedan drugome: “Što se to dogodilo sa sinom Kiševim? Zar je Šaul među prorocima?”
12 And a man from the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
A jedan od njih odvrati i reče: “A tko je njihov otac?” Otuda je nastala poslovica: “Zar je i Šaul među prorocima?”
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Kad je prošao njegov zanos, Šaul se vrati kući.
14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did ye go? And he said, To seek the donkeys, and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
A Šaulov stric upita njega i njegova momka: “Kamo ste išli?” A Šaul odgovori: “Da tražimo magarice; a kad smo vidjeli da ih nema, otišli smo k Samuelu.”
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
A njegov ga stric zamoli: “Pripovijedaj mi što vam je rekao Samuel.”
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
A Šaul odgovori svome stricu: “Rekao nam je da su se našle magarice.” Ali mu ništa ne reče o kraljevskoj časti koju mu je prorekao Samuel.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Poslije toga Samuel sazva narod pred Jahvu u Mispu
18 And he said to the sons of Israel, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you,
i reče sinovima Izraelovim: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ja sam izveo Izraela iz Egipta i izbavio sam vas iz egipatske ruke i iz ruke svih kraljevstava koja su vas tlačila.
19 but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
A vi ste danas odbacili svoga Boga, onoga koji vas je izbavljao od svih vaših zala i svih vaših nevolja i rekli ste mu: 'Ne, nego postavi kralja nad nama!' Zato sada stanite pred Jahvom po svojim plemenima i rodovima.'”
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Potom Samuel privede sva plemena Izraelova i ždrijeb pade na pleme Benjaminovo.
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.
Zatim privede pleme Benjaminovo po rodovima i ždrijeb pade na Matrijev rod; a kad privede Matrijev rod, čovjeka po čovjeka, ždrijeb pade na Šaula, sina Kiševa; ali kad ga potražiše, na nađoše ga.
22 Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.
Tada još jednom upitaše Jahvu: “Je li taj čovjek došao ovamo?” A Jahve odgovori: “Eno ga, sakrio se za tovarom.”
23 And they ran and fetched him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Otrčaše i dovedoše ga odande; a kad je stao usred naroda, bijaše glavom i ramenima viši od sviju.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live, O king!
Tada Samuel reče svemu narodu: “Vidite li koga je izabrao Jahve? Nema mu ravna u svemu narodu.” I sav narod uze klicati i vikati: “Živio kralj!”
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Nato Samuel objavi narodu kraljevsko pravo i zapisa ga u knjigu koju položi pred Jahvu. Najposlije Samuel otpusti sav narod da ide svaki svojoj kući.
26 And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
Šaul se također vrati kući u Gibeu, a s njim pođoše junaci kojima je Bog taknuo srce.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
Ali neke ništarije rekoše: “Kako će nas taj spasiti?” I prezreše ga i ne donesoše mu nikakva dara.
