1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:
Na Samuel el eis sufa in oil in olive ac ukuiya fin sifal Saul ac ngok mutal ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El mosrwekomla tuh kom fah leum fin mwet lal, mwet Israel. Kom fah leum faclos ac karinganulos liki mwet lokoalok lalos. Na pa inge mwe akpwayeye nu sum lah LEUM GOD pa sulekomla tuh kom in leum fin mwet lal:
2 When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?
Ke kom ac fahsr likiyu misenge, kom ac fah sun mukul luo sisken kulyuk lal Rachel in acn Zelzah in facl lun Benjamin. Eltal ac fah fahk nu sum lah koneyukyak tari donkey ma komtal suk an. Na papa tomom el tila nunku kac, a el nunku keim, ac el na siyuk na ac fahk, ‘Mea nga ac oru ke wen nutik uh?’
3 Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:
Ke kom ac som liki acn sac, kom ac fahsr nwe sun sak oal soko in acn Tabor, ac kom ac fah sun mukul tolu su fahsr in som nu Bethel in oru mwe kisa lalos nu sin God we. Sie selos el pwen nani fusr tolkwe, ac sie selos el us lof in bread tolkwe, ac mukul se aktolu an el us pak in wain se nwanala ke wain.
4 They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.
Elos ac fah paing kom, ac asot lukwa lof an nu sum, na kom fah eis.
5 After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:
Na kom fah som nu ke Fineol lun God in acn Gibeah, yen mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos muta we. Ke nien utyak nu in siti uh kom ac fah sun u in mwet palu su oatui liki nien loang lalos fineol uh — elos srital ke harp, drum, flute, ac lyre. Elos ac onsrosro ac sasa.
6 And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.
In kitin pacl ah, ngunin LEUM GOD ac tuku ke ku nu fom, ac kom ac fah welulos ke tacn in alyalu ac sasa lalos, ac kom ac fah ekla sie mwet sasu.
7 And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.
Ke pacl se ma inge sikyak nu sum uh, kutena ma God El akkalemye nu sum, kom in oru.
8 Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.
Kom fah som meet likiyu nu Gilgal. Nga ac fah sun kom we, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Kom fah soaneyu we len itkosr, nu ke pacl nga tuku ac fahkak nu sum ma kom in oru.”
9 And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day.
Ke Saul el forla in fahsr lukel Samuel, God El sang sie ouiyen moul sasu nu sel Saul. Ac ma nukewa ma Samuel el fahk nu sel ah, sikyak in len sac.
10 And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.
Ke Saul ac mwet kulansap lal sun acn Gibeah, un mwet palu se tuku osun nu sel. In kitin pacl ah ngunin God tuku ke ku nu facl ac el wi mwet palu inge ke tacn ac sasa in alyalu lalos.
11 Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?
Ac ke mwet su etal Saul meet elos liye ma el oru inge, elos asiyuki sie sin sie, “Ku mea sikyak nu sin wen se natul Kish inge? Ya Saul el ekla sie mwet palu?”
12 And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
Ac sie mukul in acn sac el fahk, “Ac fuka mwet palu saya inge? Kowos nunku mu su papa tumalos an?” Na pa inge mutaweyen soakas se ma fahk mu, “Ku pwaye lah Saul el ekla sie mwet palu pac?”
13 Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.
Ke Saul el oru tacn ac sasa in alyalu lal tari, na el som nu ke nien loang fineol uh.
14 And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.
Sie mukul wien papa tumal Saul el liyal Saul ac mwet kulansap lal, ac el siyuk seltal, “Komtal muta ya tuku?” Saul el fahk, “Kut suk donkey tuhlac ah. Ke kut kofla konauk, na kut som nu yorol Samuel.”
15 Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?
Na papa sac siyuk, “Ac mea Samuel el fahk nu sumtal?”
16 And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.
Na Saul el fahk, “El fahk mu koneyukyak tari.” Tusruktu el tiana fahk ma Samuel el fahk kacl lah el ac tokosrala.
17 Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;
Samuel el pangoneni mwet uh nu ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah,
18 And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:
ac el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel el fahk, ‘Nga uskowosme liki facl Egypt ac molikowosla liki inpoun mwet Egypt ac liki mwet saya nukewa su akkeokye kowos.
19 But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
Nga God lowos, su molikowosla liki ongoiya ac ma upa nu suwos, tuh pa misenge kowos sisyula ac siyuk ke sie tokosra. Ouinge kowos toeni in sruf lowos ac in sou lowos, ac utyak nu ye mutun LEUM GOD.’”
20 So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Na Samuel el sap kais sie sruf in kilukyak, ac LEUM GOD el sulela sruf lal Benjamin.
21 Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.
Na Samuel el sap kais sie sou in sruf lal Benjamin in kilukyak, na sou lal Matri sulosolla. Na kais sie mukul in sou lal Matri kilukyak, na Saul, wen natul Kish, el solla. Elos sokol tuh elos kofla konalak.
22 So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.
Na elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya oasr pac sie sayal?” Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Saul el a wikwik ingo inmasrlon kufwen sroasr.”
23 So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.
Ac elos kasrusr ac usalu nu yurin mwet uh, ac ke el tuyak inmasrlon mwet uh, el fulat lukelos nukewa finpisalyak.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!
Ac Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pa inge mwet se su LEUM GOD El sulela! Wangin sie inmasrlosr oana el.” Ac mwet uh nukewa wowoyak ac fahk, “In paht moul lal tokosra!”
25 Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Na Samuel el aketeya nu sin mwet uh ke kunokon ac suwohs lun sie tokosra. El simusla ma inge in sie book, ac filiya in sie acn mutal. Na el supwalik mwet uh nu in acn selos.
26 And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.
Ac Saul el folokla pac nu yen sel in acn Gibeah. God El pirik insien kutu mwet pulaik ac ku, ac elos welul Saul som.
27 But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.
Tusruktu kutu mwet lusrongten elos fahk, “Mea, oasr ma wo mwet se inge el ku in oru nu sesr?” Elos pilesral ac tia use kutena mwe lung nu sel. Tuh Saul el mislana.
