1 Samuel 9
1 Now I there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.
Adda maysa a lalaki manipud Benjamin, maysa a mararaem a lalaki. Ti naganna ket Kis a putot ni Abiel, ni Abiel ket putot ni Zeror a putot ni Becorat, ni Becorat ket putot ni Afia, nga anak ti maysa a Benjamita.
2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.
Addaan isuna iti anak a lalaki nga agnagan iti Saul, nataer a baro. Awanen ti natataer ngem isuna kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Panggat-abagana dagiti dadduma, nataytayag isuna ngem iti siasinoman kadagiti tattao.
3 And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,
Ita, dagiti asno ni Kis nga ama ni Saul ket mapukpukaw. Isu a kinuna ni Kis kenni Saul nga anakna, “Mangitugotka iti maysa kadagiti adipen; agrubbuatka ket mapanyo biroken dagiti asno.”
4 And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.
Isu a sinursor ni Saul ti turod a pagilian ti Efraim ket napan iti daga ti Salisa, ngem saanda a nasarakan dagitoy. Ket sinursorda ti daga ti Salim, ngem awanda sadiay. Ket sinursorda ti daga dagiti Benjamita, ngem saanda a nasarakan dagitoy.
5 And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.
Idi nakadanonda iti daga ti Suf, kinuna ni Saul iti adipenna a kaduana, “Umayka, agsublitan, ta imbes a dagiti asno ti pagdanagan ti amak, saanen ta amangan no datan a dua ti pagdandanaganna.”
6 And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.
Ngem kinuna ti adipen kenkuana, “Dumngegka, adda maysa a tao ti Dios iti daytoy a siudad. Maysa isuna a lalaki a mararaem; amin nga ibagana ket pumudno. Mapanta idiay; mabalin nga maibagana kadata ti dalan a rumbeng a papananta iti panagdaliasatta.”
7 And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.
Ket kinuna ni Saul iti adipenna, “Ngem no mapanta, ania ti maiyegta iti lalaki? Ta naibusen ti tinapay iti supotta, ket awan ti sagut a maiyegta iti tao ti Dios. Ania ti adda kadata?”
8 The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.
Simmungbat ti adipen kenni Saul a kunana, “Adtoy, addaanak iti apagkapat ti pirak a siklo nga itedko iti tao ti Dios, tapno ibagana kadata no sadino ti rumbeng a papananta.”
9 Now in time past, in Israel when a man went to consult God he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer.
(Idi un-unana iti Israel, no kasta nga adda tao a mapan agdamag iti pagayatan ti Dios, kunana, “Umayka, mapanta iti ayan ti mammadto.” Ta dagiti profeta ita a tiempo ket maaw-awagan idi iti mammadto.)
10 And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come, let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was.
Ket kinuna ni Saul iti adipenna, “Nasayaat ti imbagam. Umayka, mapantan.” Isu a napanda iti siudad nga ayan ti tao ti Dios.
11 And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here?
Bayat a sumangsang-atda iti turod nga agturong iti siudad, nakasabatda kadagiti babbalasang a mapan sumakdo iti danum; kinuna ni Saul ken ti adipenna kadakuada, “Adda kadi ditoy ti mammadto?”
12 They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came today into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place.
Simmungbatda ket kinunada, “Wen adda isuna; kitaenyo, immun-una laeng isuna ngem kadakayo. Darasenyo, ta mapan isuna ita idiay siudad ta mangidaton ita dagiti tattao idiay nangato a disso.
13 As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come: because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up, for today you shall find him.
Apaman a makastrekkayo iti siudad, masarakanyo isuna, sakbay a sumang-at isuna iti nangato a disso tapno mangan. Saan a mangan dagiti tattao agingga a sumangpet isuna, gapu ta bendisionanna ti daton; kalpasanna, manganto dagiti naawis. Sumang-atkayo itan, ta masarakanyo isuna a dagus.”
14 And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.
Isu a simmang-atda idiay siudad. Iti iseserrekda iti siudad, nakitada ni Samuel a sumungsungad nga agturong kadakuada, a mapan iti nangato a disso.
15 Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:
Ita, ti aldaw sakbay nga immay ni Saul, imbagan ni Yahweh kenni Samuel;
16 Tomorrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.
“Inton bigat iti kastoy met laeng nga oras, ibaonkonto kenka ti maysa a lalaki manipud iti daga ti Benjamin, ket pulotamto isuna nga agbalin a prinsipe dagiti amin a tattaok nga Israel. Isalakannanto dagiti tattaok iti ima dagiti Filisteo. Ta maasianak kadagiti tattaok gapu ta dimmanon kaniak dagiti asugda a dumawdawat iti tulong.”
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.
Idi nakita ni Samuel ni Saul, kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Adtoy ti lalaki nga imbagak kenka! Isuna ti mangituray kadagiti tattaok.”
18 And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?
Ket immasideg ni Saul kenni Samuel iti ruangan ket kinunana, “Mabalin kadi nga ibagam kaniak no sadino ti balay ti mammadto?”
19 And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer, go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me today, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart.
Simmungbat ni Samuel kenni Saul ket kinunana, 'Siak ti mammadto. Umunakan a sumang-at idiay nangato a disso, ta makipanganka kaniak ita nga aldaw. Palubosankanto a pumanaw inton bigat, ket ibagakto kenka amin a banag nga adda iti panunotmo.
20 And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father’s house?
No maipapan kadagiti asnoyo a napukaw, tallo nga aldawen ti napalabas, saanyo ida a pakadanagan, ta nasapulanen dagitoy. Ket siasino koma ngay ti sabali a kayat ti Israel? Saan kadi a sika ken iti amin a sangkabalayan ti amam?”
21 And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?
Simmungbat ni Saul ket kinunana, “Saan kadi a maysaak a Benjamita, manipud iti kababassitan a tribu ti Israel? Saan kadi a ti pulik ti kababaan kadagiti amin a puli ti tribu ti Benjamin? Apay ngarud a kastoy ti wagas ti panagsaom kaniak?”
22 Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.
Isu nga inkuyog ni Samuel ni Saul ken ti adipenna, impanna ida idiay dakkel a kuarto, ket pinagtugawna ida iti kangrunaan a tugaw dagiti naawis, nga aggarup tallopulo a tattao.
23 And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.
Kinuna ni Samuel iti kusinero, “Iyegmo ti paset nga intedko kenka, nga imbagak kenka, 'Ilasinmo daytoy.'”
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat: because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Isu nga innala ti kusinero ti luppo a nailasin iti daton ken ti adda iti daytoy, ket indasarna iti sangoanan ni Saul. Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Daytoy ti naidulin para kenka! Kanem daytoy, gapu ta nailasinen daytoy a para kenka sakbay pay iti naituding a tiempo a panangawisko kadagiti tattao. Isu a nakipangan ni Saul kenni Samuel iti dayta nga aldaw.
25 And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house, and he slept.
Idi simmalogda idiay siudad manipud iti nangato a disso, nakisarita ni Samuel kenni Saul iti tuktok ti balay.
26 And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them, to wit, he and Samuel.
Ket iti parbangon, inayaban ni Samuel ni Saul nga adda iti tuktok ti balay ket kinunana, “Bumangonkan, tapno maparubuatanka.” Isu a bimmangon ni Saul, ket nagkuyogda kenni Samuel a napan iti kalsada.
27 And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.
Bayat a mapmapanda iti ruar ti siudad, kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Ibagam iti adipen nga umun-una ngem kadata (ket immun-una isuna), ngem agtalinaedka pay ditoy iti apagbiit, tapno maibagak ti mensahe ti Dios kenka.”
