1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin named Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a man of wealth.
HOOKAHI kanaka no ka Beniamina, o Kisa kona inoa, ke keiki a Abiela, ke keiki a Zerora, ke keiki a Bekorata, ke keiki a Apia, no Beniamina, he kanaka waiwai nui.
2 He had a son named Saul, a specially good-looking young man; there was no one better-looking among the children of Israel: he was taller by a head than any other of the people.
He keiki kana, o Saula kona inoa, he opiopio a maikai: aohe kanaka maikai iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela e like ana me ia: mai kona poohiwi aku a hala loa iluna, ka oi ana o kona kiekie mamua o ko na kanaka a pau.
3 Now the asses of Saul's father Kish had gone wandering away. And Kish said to his son Saul, Take one of the servants with you, and get up and go in search of the asses.
Ua nalowale na hoki a Kisa, ka makuakane o Saula; i aku la o Kisa i kana keiki, ia Saula, E lawe oe i kekahi kauwa me oe, a hele e imi i na hoki.
4 So they went through the hill-country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they saw no sign of them: then they went through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there: and they went through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not come across them.
Kaahele no ia ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a kaahele hoi ma ka aina o Salisa, aole i loaa ia laua; alaila kaahele laua ma ka aina o Salima, aole malaila; hele aku la ia ma ka aina o ka Beniamina, aole i loaa ia laua.
5 And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let us go back, or my father may give up caring about the asses and be troubled about us.
A hiki aku la laua ma ka aina o Zupa, i aku la ia i kana kauwa me ia, Ea, e hoi kaua, o pau auanei ka manao ana o kuu makuakane i na hoki, a hookaumahaia no kaua.
6 But the servant said to him, See now, in this town there is a man of God, who is highly honoured, and everything he says comes true: let us go there now; it may be that he will give us directions about our journey.
I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, ma keia kulanakauhale e noho ana kekahi kanaka o ke Akua, he kanaka kaulana: a o ka mea a pau ana e olelo ai, e ko io no ia: e nele kaua malaila, malama e hiki ia ia ke kuhikuhi mai ia kaua i ke ala e pono ai kaua ke hele.
7 Then Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what are we to take the man? all our bread is gone, and we have no offering to take to the man of God: what are we to do?
I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ina paha e hele kaua, heaha ka kaua e lawe aku ai i ua kanaka la? No ka mea, ua pau ka berena maloko o ko kaua ipu, aole he manawalea e lawe aku i ua kanaka la o ke Akua: heaha ka mea ia kaua?
8 But the servant said in answer, I have here a fourth part of a shekel of silver: I will give that to the man of God, and he will give us directions about our way.
Olelo hou mai la ke kauwa ia Saula, i mai la, Eia ma kuu lima ka hapaha o ke sekela kala; o keia ka'u e haawi aku ai i ua kanaka la o ke Akua, i kuhikuhi mai ai ia i ke ala o kaua.
9 (In the past in Israel, when a man went to get directions from God, he said, Come let us go to the Seer, for he who now is named Prophet was in those days given the name of Seer.)
(I ka manawa mamua iloko o ka Iseraela, a i hele ke kanaka e ninau i ke Akua, peneia ia i olelo ai, Ina kakou e hele i ka mea ike; no ka mea, o ke kaula i keia manawa, ua kapaia oia mamua, he mea ike.)
10 Then Saul said to his servant, You have said well; come, let us go. So they went to the town where the man of God was.
I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ua pono kau olelo; ina kaua e hele aku: a hele aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale, i kahi o ke kanaka o ke Akua.
11 And when they were on the way up to the town, they saw some young girls going out to get water and said to them, Is the seer here?
A i ka laua pii ana i ke kulanakauhale, loaa ia laua na kaikamahine e hele ana e huki wai, i aku la ia lakou, Maanei anei ke kanaka ike?
12 And they said, He is; in fact he is before you: go quickly now, for he has come into the town today, for the people are making an offering in the high place today:
Olelo mai la lakou ia laua, i mai la, Maanei no: aia hoi ia mamua ou, e wikiwiki, no ka mea, i hele mai ia i ke kulanakauhale i keia la; no ka mea, he ahaaina na na kanaka i keia la ma kahi kiekie.
13 When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.
A hiki aku olua maloko o ke kulanakauhale, e loaa koke oia ia olua, mamua o kona pii ana ae ma kahi kiekie e ai ai; aole e ai na kanaka a hiki aku ia; no ka mea, nana no e hoomaikai aku i ka ahaaina, a mahope iho, ai no ka poe i oleloia. No ia mea, e pii olua; no ka mea, eia ka la e loaa'i ia olua ia.
14 So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.
A pii aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale: a hiki laua iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, halawai laua me Samuela e pii ana ma kahi kiekie.
15 Now the day before Saul came, the word of God had come to Samuel, saying,
Ua olelo e mai o Iehova i ka pepeiao o Samuela i ka la mamua o ko Saula hiki ana mai, i mai la,
16 Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and on him you are to put the holy oil, making him ruler over my people Israel, and he will make my people safe from the hands of the Philistines: for I have seen the sorrow of my people, whose cry has come up to me.
Apopo ma keia manawa, e hoouna aku au i ou la i kekahi kanaka no ka aina o ka Beniamina, a e poni aku oe ia ia i alii maluna o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, i hoopakele mai ai ia i ko'u poe kanaka mai ka lima mai o ko Pilisetia: ua nana aku au i ko'u poe kanaka, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko lakou uwe ana io'u nei.
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, This is the man of whom I gave you word! he it is who is to have authority over my people.
A ike aku la o Samuela ia Saula, olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, Eia ke kanaka a'u i olelo ai ia oe; oia ka mea e alii ai maluna o kuu poe kanaka.
18 Then Saul came up to Samuel in the doorway of the town and said, Give me directions, if you will be so good, to the house of the seer.
Hookokoke aku la o Saula ia Samuela ma ka ipuka pa, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hale o ka mea ike.
19 Then Samuel said to Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place and take food with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, after opening to you all the secrets of your heart.
Olelo mai la o Samuela ia Saula, i mai la, Owau no ka mea ike; e pii ae oe mamua o'u i kahi kiekie: no ka mea, e ai pu olua me au i keia la; apopo e kuu aku au ia oe, a e hai aku au i na mea a pau maloko o kou naau.
20 As for your asses which have been wandering for three days, give no thought to them, for they have come back. And for whom are all the desired things in Israel? are they not for you and your father's family?
A no kau mau hoki i nalowale i na la ekolu ae nei, mai manao oe ia lakou, no ka mea, ua loaa lakou. Maluna owai anei ka makemake a pau o ka Iseraela? Aole anei maluna ou, a me ko ka hale a pau o kou makuakane?
21 And Saul said, Am I not a man of Benjamin, the smallest of all the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of the families of Benjamin? why then do you say these words to me?
Olelo aku la o Saula, i aku la, Aole anei wau no ka Beniamina, no ka mea uuku o na hanauna a pau o ka Iseraela? a o kuu ohana ka mea uuku o na ohana a pau o ka Beniamina? no ke aha la oe i olelo mai ai ia'u pela?
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant into the guest room, and made them take the chief place among all the guests who were there, about thirty persons.
Lawe aku la o Samuela ia Saula a me kana kauwa, alakai ia laua maloko o ke keena ai, a hoonoho ia laua ma kahi maikai iwaena o ka poe i oleloia, he kanakolu paha lakou.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, Give me that part which I gave you orders to keep by you.
Olelo aku la o Samuela i ke kahu ai, E lawe mai i kahi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe, i ka mea a'u i olelo ai ia oe, E waiho ia me oe.
24 And the cook took up the leg with the fat tail on it, and put it before Saul. And Samuel said, This is the part which has been kept for you: take it as your part of the feast; because it has been kept for you till the right time came and till the guests were present. So that day Saul took food with Samuel.
Lawe ae la ke kahu ai i ka uha mua, a me ka mea maluna, a waiho imua o Saula. I aku la o [Samuela, ] Aia hoi o ke koena, e waiho ia imua ou, a e ai oe; no ka mea, ua hookaawale ia mea nau no ka manawa a'u i olelo ai, ua kahea aku au i na kanaka. A ai pu iho la o Saula me Samuela ia la.
25 And when they had come down from the high place into the town, where a bed was made ready for Saul, he went to rest.
A iho mai lakou mai kahi kiekie mai a i ke kulanakauhale, kamailio pu oia me Saula maluna o ka hale.
26 And about dawn Samuel said to Saul on the roof, Get up so that I may send you away. So Saul got up, and he and Samuel went out together.
Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui; a i ka wanaao, kahea aku la o Samuela ia Saula maluna o ka hale, i aku la, E ala, a hoouna aku au ia oe. Ala mai o Saula, a hele aku la laua iwaho, oia a me Samuela.
27 And on their way down to the end of the town, Samuel said to Saul, Give your servant orders to go on in front of us, (so he went on, ) but you keep here, so that I may give you the word of God.
A i ko laua iho ana ma ka mokuna o ke kulanakauhale, i aku la o Samuela ia Saula, E i aku oe i ke kauwa, e hele e aku ia mamua o kaua, (a hele aku la ia, ) aka, e ku malie oe i keia wa, i hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka olelo a ke Akua.
