1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it over Saul's head, and kissed him, saying, “The Lord has anointed you as ruler of his chosen people.
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 you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb in Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you that the donkeys you went to look for have been found. Now your father isn't concerned about them but is worried about you. He's wondering, ‘What about 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 You will leave there and go on to the oak at Tabor where you will meet three men on their way to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a skin 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 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
Gibiro mosi kendo miyi makati ariyo, mibiro kawo kuomgi.
5 Next you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have a garrison. As you come into town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place led by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be 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 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobi kuomi gi teko, inikor kaachiel kodgi kendo noloki mibed ngʼato mopogore.
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
Ka ranyisi otimore to mondo itim atima gima lweti oyudo ni onego tim; nikech Nyasaye ni kodi.
8 Then go ahead of me to Gilgal. I assure you I will come and join you to present burnt offerings and friendship offerings. Wait there seven days until I come to you, and let you know what you should 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 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
Kane Saulo oseweyo Samuel, Nyasaye ne oloko chuny Saulo, kendo ranyisi duto nochopo kare chiengʼno.
10 When Saul and his servant arrived in Gibeah, there was a procession of prophets coming out to meet them, the Spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he also started to prophesy with them.
Kane gichopo Gibea, oganda mar jonabi noromone, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro mopongʼe gi teko eka nochako koro wach kodgi.
11 Everyone who had used to know Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets said to each other, “What's going on with the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
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 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
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 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Kane Saulo osetieko koro noidho mobet e kar lemo.
14 Saul's uncle asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” “We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we couldn't find them 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 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
Owad gi wuon Saulo nowachone niya, “Nyisa gima Samuel nowachonu.”
16 “He promised us the donkeys had been found,” Saul replied. But Saul didn't tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming king.
Saulo nodwoke niya, “Ne owachonwa malongʼo ni punde ne oseyudo.” To ne ok onyise gima Samuel ne owacho kuom wach bedo ruoth.
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
Samuel noluongo oganda jo-Israel duto Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye,
18 He told the Israelites, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I led Israel out of Egypt, and I saved you from the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms that were oppressing 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 now you have rejected your God, the one who saves you from all your troubles and disasters. You told him, ‘You must appoint a king to rule us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and family groups.”
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 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
Kane Samuel okelo ogendini duto mag Israel machiegni, to oganda mar Benjamin ema ne oyier.
21 Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its family groups, and the family group of Matri was chosen. Lastly, Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But when they looked for him, he couldn't 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 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding 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 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Negiringo ma giome, kane ochungʼ e dier oganda to ne obor ma ji moko ne gik mana e goke.
24 Samuel said to everyone, “Can you see the one the Lord has chosen? There's no one like him anywhere!” All the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
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 Then Samuel explained to the people all that a king would do. He wrote it down on a scroll and placed it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent everyone home.
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 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
Saulo bende nodhi dalagi man Gibea, ka en gi joma thuondi mane osemul chunygi gi Nyasaye.
27 But some obnoxious men asked, “How could this man save us?” They hated him and didn't bring him any gifts; but Saul did not retaliate.
To jomoko ma acheje nowacho niya, “Ere kaka ngʼatni nyalo resowa?” Negi chaye mine ok gikelone mich. To Saulo nolingʼ mos.
