< 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?
Rinambe’ i Samoele amy zao ty paki-menake naho nadoa’e amy añambone’ey vaho norofa’e, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Tsy Iehovà hao ty nañory azo ho mpifeleke i lova’ey?
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?
Ihe mienga ahy te anito, le hañisake ondaty roe marine ty kibori’ i Rakele añ’ efe-tane’ i Beniamine e Tselzà eo; le hanao ty hoe ama’o iereo: Fa nirendreke o borìke nihitrife’o ho tsoeheñeo, vaho fa napon-drae’o ty fimarimariha’e iareo, te mone ihe ty imari­mariha’e, ami’ty hoe, Hataoko akore i anakoy?
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.
Hionjoñe mb’eo irehe le ie pok’ añ-kile’ i Tabore ro hifanampe amy t’indaty telo mionjomb’ aman’ Añahare e Betele mb’eo, minday vik’ose telo ty raike, naho minday mofo telo ty raike vaho mitintiñe zonjon-divay ty raike.
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shall receive from their hand.
Hañontane azo iereo vaho hanolotse azo boko-mofo roe; rambeso am-pità’e eo izay.
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.
Ie añe, le higodañe am-bohin’ Añahare irehe amy toem-pirai-lian-dahin-defon-te-Pilistiy eo; aa ihe fa nigodañe amy rovay, le hifana­laka ami’ty firimboñam-pitoky mizotso boak’ an-kaboañe ey, hiaoloa’ ty jejo-bory naho ty fikorintsañe naho ty soly naho ty marovany le hitoky iereo.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
Ho entoan’ Arofo’ Iehovà an-kaozara’e irehe le hiharoa’o fitoky vaho hiova ho ondaty hafa.
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.
Ie tendrek’ azo i viloñe rezay, le anò ze zoem-pità’o amy te mindre ama’o t’i Andrianañahare.
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.
Hiaolo ahy mb’e Gilgale mb’eo irehe; le hizo­tso mb’ama’o mb’eo iraho hañenga horoañe naho hisoroñe naho hañenga fanintsiñañe: hitofa ao fito andro irehe am-para’ te ifanampeako hitaroñe ama’o ty hanoe’o.
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.
Aa ie niamboho, hienga i Samoele, le tinolon’ Añahare arofo vao; vaho nitendrek’ amy andro zay i viloñe iaby rey.
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.
Ie nigodañe am-bohitse ey, inge ty mpi­rimbom-pitoky nifanalaka ama’e; le nirorote’ i Arofon’ Añaharey re vaho nitrao-pitoky am’ iereo.
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?
Ie nioni’ o mpahafohiñe Azeo te heheke! nitoky miharo amo mpitokio, le hoe ty nifanaontsia’ ondatio: Ino ze o nivotrak’ amy ana’ i Kiseio? Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
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?
Nanoiñe izay ty mpiam’ iereo ami’ty hoe: Aa ia ka ty rae’ iareo? aa le nanjare razan-drehake ty hoe: Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Ie nihenefe’e i fitokiañey le niheo mb’ an-toetse an-kaboam-beo.
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.
Le hoe ty rahalahin-drae’ i Saole ama’e naho amy mpitoro’ey: Nimb’ aia v’inahareoo? Le hoe re: Nipay i borìke rey zahay; aa ie nifohiñe te tsy ho rendreke, le nomb’ amy Samoele mb’eo.
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Le hoe ty rahalahin-drae’ i Saole: Ehe, atalilio amako: Ino ty nisaontsia’ i Samoele?
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.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy rahalahin-drae’ey: Tinaro’e ama’ay an-tsaontsy mora te nirendreke i borìke rey. Fe tsy nabeo’e ama’e i fifeheañe tinaro’ i Samoeley.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Kinoi’ i Samoele ondatio hifanontoñe amy Iehovà e Mitspè ao.
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,
Le hoe re amo ana’ Israeleo: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Navotako amy Mitsraime t’Israele, toe navotsoko am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, vaho am-pità’ o fifeheañe namorekeke anahareoo.
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.
Fe naforintse’ areo anindroany t’i Andrianañahare’ areo mpandrombak’ anahareo amo hankàñeo naho amo maha-ampohek’ anahareoo: vaho nanao ama’e ty hoe: Aiy! fa mpanjaka ty hajado’o hifehe anay. Ie amy zao, miatrefa amy Iehovà am-pifokoa’e, naho añ’ arivo’e.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Aa le nampañarinea’ i Samoele iaby o fifokoa’ Israeleo; rinambe t’i Beniamine.
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.
Nampañarinea’e ty fifokoa’ i Beniamine amo hasavereña’eo, le rinambe ty hasavereña’ i Matrý; vaho rinambe’e t’i Saole ana’ i Kise; aa le pinay re fa tsy nioniñe.
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.
Nañontanea’ iareo indraike t’Iehovà: Fa pok’atoy hao indatiy? Le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà, Ingo ie mietak’ amo kilankañeo.
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.
Aa le nihitrihitry mb’eo iereo nanga­lak’ aze; ie nijohañe añivo’ ondatio, le niabo te amy ze ondaty eo, mifototse an-tsoro’e mañambone.
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!
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ ondaty iabio: Hehe ty jinobo’ Iehovà, vaho tsy ama’ ondaty iabio ty mañirinkiriñe aze. Le nipazake ty hoe ondaty iabio: Lava havelo o mpanjakao.
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.
Tinaro’ i Samoele am’ ondatio amy zao ty sata’ o fifeheañeo naho sinoki’e am-boke, vaho nahaja’e añatrefa’ Iehovà. Nampolie’ i Samoele amy zao ondatio songa mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo.
26 And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah, and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
Le nimb’añ’ akiba’e mb’e Gibeà ka t’i Saole; vaho nindre ama’e mb’eo o fanalolahy nedrèn’ Añahareo.
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.
Fa hoe ka o tsivokatseo: Aia ty haharombaha’ ondatio antika? Nisirikae’ iareo, ie tsy nañendesañe ravoravo, f’ie nitàm-pianjiñañe avao.
