1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it on his head. And he kissed him, and said: “Behold, the Lord has anointed you as first ruler over his inheritance. And you shall free his people from the hands of their enemies, who are all around them. And this shall be a sign for you that God has anointed you as ruler:
Katahi ka mau a Hamuera ki te pounamu hinu, ringihia ana e ia ki runga ki tona matenga; na ka kihi ia i a ia, ka mea, Ehara ianei i te mea na Ihowa koe i whakawahi hei rangatira mo tona wahi tupu?
2 When you will have departed from me this day, you will find two men beside the sepulcher of Rachel, in the parts of Benjamin to the south. And they will say to you: ‘The donkeys have been found, which you had been seeking as you traveled. And your father, forgetting about the donkeys, has been anxious for you, and he says, “What shall I do about my son?”’
Ka mawehe atu koe i ahau aianei, ka tupono koe ki etahi tangata tokorua i te taha o te tanumanga o Rahera, i te rohe o Pineamine, i Tereta; a tera raua e mea ki a koe, Kua kitea nga kaihe i haere na koe ki te rapu: na, ko tou papa, mahue ake nga whakaaro ki nga kaihe, kei te manukanuka hoki tera ki a korua, e mea ana, Me pehea ahau ki taku tama?
3 And when you will have departed from there, and will have traveled farther, and will have arrived at the oak of Tabor, in that place three men, who are going up to God at Bethel, will find you. One will be bringing three young goats, and another three loaves of bread, and another will be carrying a bottle of wine.
Katahi ka haere tonu atu koe i reira, a ka tae ki te oki o Taporo, ka tupono ki a koe etahi tangata tokotoru e haere ana ki runga, ki te Atua, ki Peteere, e toru nga kuao koati e kawea ana e tetahi, e toru nga rohi taro e kawea ana e tetahi, a ko tetahi e mau ana i te pounamu waina.
4 And when they will have greeted you, they will give you two loaves. And you shall accept these from their hand.
Na ka oha ratou ki a koe, ka homai ano hoki etahi taro e rua ki a koe, a me tango e koe i o ratou ringa.
5 After these things, you shall arrive at the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. And when you will have entered the city there, you will meet a company of prophets, descending from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they will be prophesying.
Muri iho i tera ka tae ki te puke o te Atua, kei reira nei nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini: a, i tou taenga ki reira, ki te pa, na ka tutaki koe ki te ropu poropiti e haere iho ana i te wahi tiketike, me te hatere, me te timipera, me te putorino, me te hapa hoki ki mua i a ratou; me te poropiti ano hoki ratou;
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will spring up within you. And you shall prophesy with them, and you shall be changed into another man.
Na ka puta kaha mai te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a koe, a ka poropiti tahi koutou, a koe me ratou, a ka puta tou ahua hei tangata ke.
7 Therefore, when these signs will have happened to you, do whatever your hand will find, for the Lord is with you.
Me i reira, ki te puta ena tohu ki a koe, meatia e koe te mea e tupono atu ai tou ringa no te mea kei a koe te Atua.
8 And you shall descend before me into Gilgal, (for I will descend to you), so that you may offer an oblation, and may immolate victims of peace. For seven days, you shall wait, until I come to you, and reveal to you what you should do.”
Na, me haere koe i mua i ahau ki Kirikara; na, tena ahau te haere atu na ki raro, ki a koe, ki te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, ki te patu i nga patunga mo te pai: kia whitu nga ra e tatari ai koe kia tae atu ahau ki a koe, katahi ka whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe tau e mea ai.
9 And so, when he had turned his shoulder, so that he might go away from Samuel, God changed him to another heart. And all these signs occurred on that day.
Koia ano, kei te tahuritanga o tona tuara, he mawehe atu i a Hamuera, ka homai e te Atua he ngakau ke mona! a puta katoa ana aua tohu i taua rangi ano.
10 And they arrived at the above-stated hill, and behold, a group of prophets met him. And the Spirit of the Lord leapt up within him, and he prophesied in their midst.
A, no to raua taenga ki reira, ki te puke, na ko tetahi ropu poropiti kua tutaki ki a ia: ko te tino putanga mai o te wairua o te Atua ki runga ki a ia, na poropiti ana ia i roto i a ratou.
11 Then all those who had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and that he was prophesying, said to one other: “What is this thing that has happened to the son of Kish? Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
A, no te kitenga o te hunga katoa i mohio ki a ia i mua ake, na kei roto ia i nga poropiti e poropiti ana; katahi ka mea te iwi tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tenei kua puta nei ki te tama a Kihi? Kei roto ano koia a Haora i nga poropiti?
12 And one would respond to the other, saying, “And who is their father?” Because of this, it turned into a proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
Na ka whakahoki tetahi o taua wahi, ka mea, Ha, ko wai to ratou papa? Koia te whakatauki nei, Kei roto ano koia a Haora i nga poropiti?
13 Then he ceased to prophesy, and he went to the high place.
A, i te mutunga o tana poropiti, ka haere ia ki te wahi tiketike.
14 And the uncle of Saul said to him, and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And they responded: “To seek the donkeys. But when we did not find them, we went to Samuel.”
Na ka mea te matua keke o Haora ki a raua ko tana tangata, I haere korua ki hea? A ka ki atu ia, Ki te rapu i nga kaihe; a, i to maua mohiotanga kahore ano ratou i kitea, haere ana maua ki a Hamuera.
15 And his uncle said to him, “Tell me what Samuel said to you.”
Ano ra ko te matua keke o Haora, Tena ra, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, i pehea a Hamuera ki a korua.
16 And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us that the donkeys would be found.” But the word about the kingdom, which Samuel had spoken to him, he did not reveal to him.
Na ka mea a Haora ki tona matua keke, I ata whakaaturia mai e ia ki a maua kua kitea nga kaihe. Otiia ko te mea o te kingitanga, ko ta Hamuera i korero ra, kihai tera i whakaaturia ki a ia.
17 And Samuel called the people together, to the Lord at Mizpah.
Katahi ka karangarangatia te iwi e Hamuera ki a Ihowa ki Mihipa;
18 And he said to the sons of Israel: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I led Israel away from Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who were afflicting you.
Na ka mea ia ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Naku a Iharaira i kawe mai i Ihipa, naku hoki koutou i whakaora i roto i te ringa o nga Ihipiana, i te ringa ano o nga rangatiratanga katoa, i whakatupu kino i a koutou.
19 But today you have rejected your God, who alone saved you from all your evils and tribulations. And you have said: ‘By no means! Instead, appoint a king over us.’ Now therefore, stand in the sight of the Lord, by your tribes and by your families.”
Na kua whakakahore nei koutou i tenei ra ki to koutou Atua, e whakaora nei i a koutou i roto i o koutou he katoa, i o koutou mate; a kua mea koutou ki a ia, Engari, me whakarite e koe he kingi mo matou: Na reira, me tu koutou inaianei ki te aroa ro o Ihowa, o koutou iwi, o koutou mano.
20 And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell upon the tribe of Benjamin.
Katahi a Hamuera ka mea i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira kia whakatata mai; na ka tangohia ko te iwi o Pineamine.
21 And he brought near the tribe of Benjamin, with its families, and the lot fell upon the family of Matri. And then it went to Saul, the son of Kish. Therefore, they sought him, but he was not found.
Na ka mea ia i te iwi o Pineamine kia whakatata mai, tenei hapu, tenei hapu, a ka tangohia ko te hapu o Matari; na ka tangohia ko te hapu o Matari; na ka tangohia ko Haora, ko te tama a Kihi; no ta ratou rapunga ia i a ia, kahore i kitea.
22 And after these things, they consulted the Lord as to whether he would soon arrive there. And the Lord responded, “Behold, he is hidden at home.”
Na reira ka ui ano ratou ki a Ihowa, Tena ano ranei he tangata kia tae mai ki konei? A ka whakautua e Ihowa, Na, kei roto ia i nga mea na e piri ana.
23 And so they ran and brought him there. And he stood in the midst of the people, and he was taller than the entire people, from the shoulders upward.
Na ko to ratou rerenga, ka tikina atu ia i reira; a, no tona tunga i waenganui i te iwi, teitei ake ia i te iwi katoa, i ona pokohiwi ahu ake.
24 And Samuel said to all the people: “Certainly, you see the one whom the Lord has chosen, that there is not anyone like him among all the people.” And all the people cried out and said, “Long live the king!”
Na ka mea a Hamuera ki te iwi katoa, Kia kite koutou i ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai; kahore hoki he rite mona o te iwi katoa. Na ka hamama te iwi katoa, ka mea, Kia ora te kingi.
25 Then Samuel spoke to the people the law of the kingdom, and he wrote it in a book, and he stored it in the sight of the Lord. And Samuel dismissed all the people, each one to his own house.
Katahi ka korerotia e Hamuera ki te iwi te tikanga o te kingitanga, a tuhituhia ana e ia ki te pukapuka, whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ka tonoa e Hamuera te iwi katoa kia haere ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
26 And then Saul went away to his own house at Gibeah. And a portion of the army, whose hearts had been touched by God, went away with him.
Me Haora ano i haere ia ki tona whare ki Kipea; i haere tahi ano i a ia tetahi ropu tangata i whakapakia nei o ratou ngakau e Ihowa.
27 Yet the sons of Belial said, “How could this one be able to save us?” And they despised him, and they brought him no presents. But he pretended not to hear them.
Tera ano ia etahi tama a Periara, i mea, Me pewhea e ora ai tatou i tenei tangata? Na whakahaweatia ana ia e ratou, kihai ano i kawea he hakari e ratou ki a ia. Otiia whakarongo puku tonu ia.
