Kings I 10
1 And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed you for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and you shall rule amongst the people of the Lord, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you for a ruler 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 [As soon] as you shall have departed this day from me, you shall find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to you, The asses are found which you went to seek; and, behold, your father has given up the matter of the asses, and he 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 And you shall depart thence, and shall go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and you shall find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing 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 shall ask you how you do, and shall give you two presents of bread, and you shall receive them of their hand.
Oni će te pozdraviti i dat će ti dva kruha, a ti ih primi iz njihove ruke.
5 And afterward you shall go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when you shall have entered into the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.
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 the Lord shall come upon you, and you 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 it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon you, —[then] do you whatever your hand shall find, because God [is] with you.
A kad ti se ispune ti znakovi, onda čini kako ti se prilika pruži jer je Bog s tobom.
8 And you shall go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to you to offer a whole burnt offering and peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait until I shall come to you, and I will make known to you what you 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 came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in 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 he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of 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 all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [is] Saul also amongst 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 one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also amongst 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 he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.
Kad je prošao njegov zanos, Šaul se vrati kući.
14 And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went you? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in 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 his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray you, What did Samuel say to you?
A njegov ga stric zamoli: “Pripovijedaj mi što vam je rekao Samuel.”
16 And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.
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 summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.
Poslije toga Samuel sazva narod pred Jahvu u Mispu
18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted 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 And you have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and you said, Nay, but you shall set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
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 And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
Potom Samuel privede sva plemena Izraelova i ždrijeb pade na pleme Benjaminovo.
21 And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not 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 And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come here? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid amongst the stuff.
Tada još jednom upitaše Jahvu: “Je li taj čovjek došao ovamo?” A Jahve odgovori: “Eno ga, sakrio se za tovarom.”
23 And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.
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, Have you seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him amongst you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!
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 And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.
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 departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.
Šaul se također vrati kući u Gibeu, a s njim pođoše junaci kojima je Bog taknuo srce.
27 But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
Ali neke ništarije rekoše: “Kako će nas taj spasiti?” I prezreše ga i ne donesoše mu nikakva dara.
