1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because Jehovah has anointed thee prince over his inheritance?
Eka Samuel nokawo tungʼ mar mo mi oolo ewi Saulo eka nonyodhe mowacho niya, “Donge Jehova Nyasaye osewiri mondo ibed jatelo ne joge moyiero.
2 When thou goest from me to-day, thou shalt meet two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The asses are found which thou wentest to seek, and behold, thy father has dismissed the matter of the asses, and is anxious about you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Kawuononi ka iseweya ibiro romo gi ji ariyo machiegni gi liend Rael e gwengʼ Zelza e tongʼ jo-Benjamin. Gibiro wachoni ni, ‘Punde mane iwuok idhi dwaro oseyudi. Kendo wuonu oseweyo parogi koro chunye chandore ni wachne kopenjo niya, “Abiro timo angʼo ne wach wuodani?”’
3 And thou shalt go on forward from thence, and shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God, to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three cakes of bread, and another carrying a flask of wine.
“Eka ibiro wuok kanyo midhi nyaka yath maduongʼ man Tabor. Ji adek mawuotho kadhi Bethel ir Nyasaye norom kodi kanyo. Achiel kuomgi biro biro kotingʼo nyidiek adek, to machielo biro tingʼo makati adek, to machielo to otingʼo ndede mar divai.
4 And they will ask after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves, which thou shalt receive of their hands.
Gibiro mosi kendo miyi makati ariyo, mibiro kawo kuomgi.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where are the outposts of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou comest thither, into the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with lute and tambour and pipe and harp before them; and they themselves prophesying.
“Bangʼ mano ibiro dhi Gibea miluongo ni Got mar Nyasaye kama nitie kambi mar jo-Filistia. Ka ichopo machiegni gi dala to ibiro romo gi oganda jonabi kalor koa kar lemo kotelnegi gi joma goyo orutu, gi tamborin, asili gi nyatiti, kendo jonabi biro biro ka gikoro wach.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobi kuomi gi teko, inikor kaachiel kodgi kendo noloki mibed ngʼato mopogore.
7 And it shall be, when these signs shall come to thee, thou shalt do as thy hand shall find; for God is with thee.
Ka ranyisi otimore to mondo itim atima gima lweti oyudo ni onego tim; nikech Nyasaye ni kodi.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to thee, to offer up burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait, until I come to thee and inform thee what thou shalt do.
“Tel nyima idhi Gilgal. Chutho abiro lor ka abiro iri mondo atim misango miwangʼo pep kod misengini mag lalruok, to nyaka ine ni irita kuom ndalo abiriyo mondo abi anyisi gima onego itim.”
9 And it was [so] that when he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
Kane Saulo oseweyo Samuel, Nyasaye ne oloko chuny Saulo, kendo ranyisi duto nochopo kare chiengʼno.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Kane gichopo Gibea, oganda mar jonabi noromone, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro mopongʼe gi teko eka nochako koro wach kodgi.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Eka joma ne ongʼeye kane onene ka okoro gi jonabi, negipenjore kendgi niya, “Ma to en angʼo matimore ne wuod Kish? Saulo bende en achiel kuom jonabi?”
12 And a man of that place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
To ngʼat moro modak e gwengʼno nomedo dwoko kopenjo niya, “Wuon-gi to en ngʼa?” Omiyo wachni nolokore ngero niya, “Saulo-ni bende en achiel kuom jonabi?”
13 And when he had ended prophesying, he came to the high place.
Kane Saulo osetieko koro noidho mobet e kar lemo.
14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel.
Eka owad gi wuon Saulo nopenjogi niya, “Ne pod un kanye?” Ne odwoko niya, “Ne wadwaro punde, to kane waneno ni gitamowa yudo eka wadhi ir Samuel.”
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Owad gi wuon Saulo nowachone niya, “Nyisa gima Samuel nowachonu.”
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us for certain that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he told him not.
Saulo nodwoke niya, “Ne owachonwa malongʼo ni punde ne oseyudo.” To ne ok onyise gima Samuel ne owacho kuom wach bedo ruoth.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Samuel noluongo oganda jo-Israel duto Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye,
18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;
mowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ne agolo Israel koa Misri, kendo ne aresou e teko mar loch Misri kod pinjeruodhi duto mane thirou.’
19 but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your troubles, and have said unto him, [Nay, ] but a king shalt thou set over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
To koro useweyo Nyasachu, ma resou e masicheu gi chandruoku. Ma usewacho ni, ‘Ooyo miwa ruodhwa.’ Omiyo sani suduru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kuchanoru e ogandau kod e dhoutu.”
20 And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Kane Samuel okelo ogendini duto mag Israel machiegni, to oganda mar Benjamin ema ne oyier.
21 And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, and the family of Matri was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken. And they sought him, but he was not to be found.
Eka nokelo oganda mar Benjamin nyime, kaluwore gi dhoot ka dhoot, mine oyier dhood Matri. Mogik ne oyier Saulo wuod Kish. To kane gidware, to ne ok oyude.
22 Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Will the man yet come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.
Eka negimedo penjo wach kuom Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ngʼatni bende osebiro ka koso?” Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Ee, osepondo e kind misike.”
23 And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Negiringo ma giome, kane ochungʼ e dier oganda to ne obor ma ji moko ne gik mana e goke.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, May the king live.
Samuel nowachone ji duto niya, “Bende uneno ngʼat ma Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero? Onge ngʼama chalo kode kuom ji duto.” Eka ji nokok niya, “Ruoth mondo odag amingʼa!”
25 And Samuel told the people the right of the kingdom, and wrote it in the book, and laid it before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Samuel nolero ne ji chike mag bedo ruoth. Nondikogi e kitabu mokano e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Samuel ne ogonyo ji mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e dalane.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and with him went the band, whose hearts God had touched.
Saulo bende nodhi dalagi man Gibea, ka en gi joma thuondi mane osemul chunygi gi Nyasaye.
27 But the children of Belial said, How should this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no gifts. But he was as one deaf.
To jomoko ma acheje nowacho niya, “Ere kaka ngʼatni nyalo resowa?” Negi chaye mine ok gikelone mich. To Saulo nolingʼ mos.
