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?
Zvino Samueri akatora chinu chamafuta akadurura pamusoro waSauro akamutsvoda uye akati, “Jehovha haana kukuzodza here kuti uve mutungamiri wenhaka yake?
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?
Pauchabva pandiri nhasi, uchasangana navarume vaviri pedyo neguva raRakeri, paZeriza pamuganhu waBhenjamini. Vachati kwauri, ‘Mbongoro dzawakaenda kundotsvaga dzakawanikwa. Zvino baba vako havachafungi nezvadzo asi vava kufunganya pamusoro pako. Vava kungobvunza vachiti, “Ndichaiteiko nezvomwanakomana wangu?”’
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.
“Ipapo uchapfuurira mberi kubva ipapo kusvikira wasvika pamuti mukuru weTabhori. Varume vatatu vanenge vachienda kuna Mwari kuBheteri vachasangana newe ipapo. Mumwe achange akatakura mbudzana nhatu, mumwe marofu matatu echingwa, uye mumwe dende rewaini.
4 And they will ask after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves, which thou shalt receive of their hands.
Vachakukwazisa vagokupa marofu maviri echingwa, auchatambira kubva kwavari.
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.
“Mushure maizvozvo uchaenda kuGibhea, Gomo raMwari, kune boka ravarwi vavaFiristia. Pamunenge mava kusvika kuguta iri, muchasangana nedungwe ravaprofita vachidzika kubva kunzvimbo yakakwirira, mitengeranwa, tambureni, nenyere nembira, zvichiridzwa mberi kwavo, uye vanenge vachiprofita.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Mweya waJehovha uchauya pamusoro pako nesimba uye uchaprofita pamwe chete navo, uye uchashandurwa ugova mumwe munhu.
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.
Kana zviratidzo izvi zvangozadziswa, ita chinhu chipi nechipi chinowanikwa noruoko rwako kuti ruite, nokuti Mwari anewe.
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.
“Tungamira mberi kwangu udzike kuGirigari. Zvirokwazvo ndichauya kwauri kuti ndizobayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana, asi unofanira kundimirira kwamazuva manomwe kusvikira ndauya kwauri ndigokuudza zvaunofanira kuita.”
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.
Sauro akati achangotendeuka kuti abve pana Samueri, Mwari akashandura mwoyo waSauro, uye zviratidzo zvose izvi zvakazadziswa zuva iroro.
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.
Pavakasvika kuGibhea, akasangana neboka ravaprofita; Mweya waMwari wakauya pamusoro pake nesimba, uye akabatana navo mukuprofita kwavo.
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?
Vose vakanga vachimuziva kare vakati vamuona achiprofita pamwe chete navaprofita, vakabvunzana vachiti, “Chiiko ichi chaitika kumwanakomana waKishi? Sauro ava pakati pavaprofitawo here?”
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?
Mumwe murume aigarako akapindura achiti, “Zvino baba vavo ndiani?” Saka chakava chirevo chokuti, “Sauro ava pakati pavaprofitawo here?”
13 And when he had ended prophesying, he came to the high place.
Mushure mokunge Sauro apedza kuprofita, akaenda kunzvimbo yakakwirira.
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.
Zvino babamunini vaSauro vakamubvunza iye nomuranda wake vachiti, “Makanga muripiko?” Akapindura achiti, “Takanga tichitsvaga mbongoro. Asi patakaona kuti hadzisi kuzowanikwa takaenda kuna Samueri.”
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Babamunini vaSauro vakati, “Ndiudzei kuti Samueri akati kudii kwamuri.”
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.
Sauro akapindura achiti, “Akatiudza pachena kuti mbongoro dzakanga dzawanikwa.” Asi haana kuudza babamunini vake nezvoumambo zvakanga zvataurwa naSamueri.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Samueri akadana vanhu veIsraeri kuna Jehovha paMizipa
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;
akati kwavari, “Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari weIsraeri: ‘Ndakabudisa Israeri muIjipiti, uye ndakakudzikinurai kubva kusimba reIjipiti noumambo hwose hwaikudzvinyirirai.’
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.
Asi iye zvino maramba Mwari wenyu, anokuponesai panjodzi dzenyu nenhamo dzenyu. Uye makati, ‘Kwete, isai mambo pamusoro pedu.’ Saka zvino chiuyai pamberi paJehovha muri mumarudzi enyu nedzimba dzenyu.”
20 And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Samueri paakauyisa marudzi eIsraeri pedyo, rudzi rwaBhenjamini rwakasarudzwa.
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.
Ipapo akauyisa mberi rudzi rwaBhenjamini, mhuri nemhuri, uye imba yaMatiri yakasarudzwa. Pakupedzisira, Sauro mwanakomana waKishi akasarudzwa. Asi pavakamutsvaka haana kuwanikwa.
22 Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Will the man yet come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.
Saka vakabvunzazve Jehovha, vachiti, “Murume uyu ati auya pano here?” Zvino Jehovha akati, “Hongu, ahwanda pakati penhumbi.”
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.
Vakamhanya vakamuburitsa, uye paakamira pakati pavanhu, akanga akareba kupfuura vamwe vose kubva pamafudzi kusvika kumusoro.
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.
Samueri akati kuvanhu vose, “Muri kumuona here munhu asarudzwa naJehovha? Hapana mumwe munhu akaita saye pakati pavanhu vose.” Ipapo vanhu vakadanidzira vachiti, “Mambo ngaararame nokusingaperi!”
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.
Samueri akatsanangurira vanhu mitemo youmambo uhu. Akainyora pasi mubhuku akariisa pamberi paJehovha. Ipapo Samueri akaudza vanhu kuti vaende mumwe nomumwe kumba kwake.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and with him went the band, whose hearts God had touched.
Sauro akaendawo kumba kwake kuGibhea, achiperekedzwa navarume voumhare vane mweya yakanga yabatwa naMwari.
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.
Asi dzimwe nhubu dzakati, “Murume uyu angatiponesa sei?” Vakamuzvidza vakasamuvigira zvipo. Asi Sauro akaramba anyerere.
