1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?
撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在扫罗的头上，与他亲嘴，说：“这不是耶和华膏你作他产业的君吗？
2 When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
你今日与我离别之后，在便雅悯境内的泄撒，靠近拉结的坟墓，要遇见两个人。他们必对你说：‘你去找的那几头驴已经找着了。现在你父亲不为驴挂心，反为你担忧，说：我为儿子怎么才好呢？’
3 Then you will go on from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.
你从那里往前行，到了他泊的橡树那里，必遇见三个往伯特利去拜 神的人：一个带着三只山羊羔，一个带着三个饼，一个带着一皮袋酒。
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hands.
他们必问你安，给你两个饼，你就从他们手中接过来。
5 After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
此后你到 神的山，在那里有非利士人的防兵。你到了城的时候，必遇见一班先知从邱坛下来，前面有鼓瑟的、击鼓的、吹笛的、弹琴的，他们都受感说话。
6 Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
耶和华的灵必大大感动你，你就与他们一同受感说话；你要变为新人。
7 When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
这兆头临到你，你就可以趁时而做，因为 神与你同在。
8 And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
你当在我以先下到吉甲，我也必下到那里献燔祭和平安祭。你要等候七日，等我到了那里，指示你当行的事。”
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.
扫罗转身离别撒母耳， 神就赐他一个新心。当日这一切兆头都应验了。
10 When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.
扫罗到了那山，有一班先知遇见他， 神的灵大大感动他，他就在先知中受感说话。
11 All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
素来认识扫罗的，看见他和先知一同受感说话，就彼此说：“基士的儿子遇见什么了？扫罗也列在先知中吗？”
12 Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
那地方有一个人说：“这些人的父亲是谁呢？”此后有句俗语说：“扫罗也列在先知中吗？”
13 And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.
扫罗受感说话已毕，就上邱坛去了。
14 Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
扫罗的叔叔问扫罗和他仆人说：“你们往哪里去了？”回答说：“找驴去了。我们见没有驴，就到了撒母耳那里。”
15 “Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”
扫罗的叔叔说：“请将撒母耳向你们所说的话告诉我。”
16 And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
扫罗对他叔叔说：“他明明地告诉我们驴已经找着了。”至于撒母耳所说的国事，扫罗却没有告诉叔叔。
17 After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
撒母耳将百姓招聚到米斯巴耶和华那里，
18 and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
对他们说：“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：‘我领你们以色列人出埃及，救你们脱离埃及人的手，又救你们脱离欺压你们各国之人的手。’
19 But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
你们今日却厌弃了救你们脱离一切灾难的 神，说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按着支派、宗族都站在耶和华面前。”
20 Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
于是，撒母耳使以色列众支派近前来掣签，就掣出便雅悯支派来；
21 Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
又使便雅悯支派按着宗族近前来，就掣出玛特利族，从其中又掣出基士的儿子扫罗。众人寻找他却寻不着，
22 So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
就问耶和华说：“那人到这里来了没有？”耶和华说：“他藏在器具中了。”
23 So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
众人就跑去从那里领出他来。他站在百姓中间，身体比众民高过一头。
24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
撒母耳对众民说：“你们看耶和华所拣选的人，众民中有可比他的吗？”众民就大声欢呼说：“愿王万岁！”
25 Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
撒母耳将国法对百姓说明，又记在书上，放在耶和华面前，然后遣散众民，各回各家去了。
26 Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
扫罗往基比亚回家去，有 神感动的一群人跟随他。
27 But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
但有些匪徒说：“这人怎能救我们呢？”就藐视他，没有送他礼物；扫罗却不理会。
