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.
Konsa, Samuel te pran poban lwil la. Li te vide li sou tèt li. Li te bo li e te di: “Èske SENYÈ a pa t onksyone ou kòm prens sou eritaj Li a?
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?’
Lè ou kite mwen jodi a, alò ou va jwenn de moun toupre tonm Rachel la, nan teritwa Benjamin nan Tseltsach. Yo va di ou: ‘Bourik ke ou t ap chache yo gen tan twouve. Alò, gade byen, papa ou pa twouble tèt li ankò sou bourik yo, men li twouble pou ou menm. L ap mande: “Kisa mwen va fè konsènan pitit mwen an?”’”
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.
Alò, ou va ale pi lwen soti la, e ou va parèt jis nan chèn Thabor a. La, twa mesye k ap monte vè Bondye Béthel yo va rankontre avè w. Youn k ap pote twa jenn kabrit, yon lòt k ap pote twa moso pen, e yon lòt k ap pote yon po diven.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
Yo va di ou: “Bonjou”, e yo va ba ou de moso pen, ke ou va aksepte nan men yo.
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.
Apre, ou va vini nan ti mòn Bondye a kote ganizon lame Filisten an ye a. Konsa, li va fèt ke depi ou vini la, kote vil la, ou va rankontre yon gwoup pwofèt k ap desann soti nan plas anwo a avèk gita, tanbouren, flit ak bandyo devan yo, e yo va pwofetize.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
Epi Lespri Bondye a va vini sou ou avèk gwo fòs. Ou va pwofetize avèk yo, e ou va chanje pou vin yon lòt moun.
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
Li va rive ke lè sign sa yo parèt sou ou, ou va fè pou kont ou sa ke okazyon an mande, paske Bondye avèk ou.
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.”
“Epi ou va desann devan mwen Guilgal. Gade byen, m ap desann kote ou pou ofri ofrann brile avèk sakrifis lapè yo. Ou va tann sèt jou jiskaske mwen vin kote ou pou montre ou kisa ou ta dwe fè.”
9 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
Alò, li te rive ke lè li te vire do li pou kite Samuel, Bondye te chanje kè li, epi tout sign sa yo te rive nan jou sa a.
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.
Lè yo te rive la, nan kote ti mòn nan, yon gwoup pwofèt te rankontre li. Epi Lespri Bondye a te vini sou li avèk fòs, jiskaske li te pwofetize pami yo.
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?”
Li vin rive ke lè tout moun ki te rekonèt li oparavan yo te wè ke koulye a li pwofetize avèk pwofèt yo, ke pèp la te di youn ak lòt: “Kisa ki rive a fis a Kish la? Èske Saül osi pami pwofèt yo?”
12 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
Yon mesye nan plas sa a te di: “Alò, kilès ki papa yo?” Konsa, sa te devni yon pwovèb: “Èske Saül, osi pami pwofèt yo?”
13 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Lè li te fin pwofetize li te vini nan plas anwo a.
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.”
Alò, tonton Saül te di li avèk sèvitè li a: “Kote ou te ale?” Epi li te di: “Pou chache bourik yo. Men lè nou vin wè yo p ap kab twouve, nou te ale kote Samuel.”
15 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
Tonton Saül te di li: “Souple, di m sa ke Samuel te di ou a.”
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.
Konsa Saül te di tonton li: “Li te pale nou byen klè ke bourik yo gen tan twouve.” Men li pa t pale li afè wayòm ke Samuel te pale a.
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
Apre sa Samuel te konvoke pèp la ansanm vè SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.
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.
Li te di a fis Israël yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te mennen Israël monte soti Égypte. Mwen te delivre nou soti nan men Ejipsyen yo, e nou te soti de men a tout wayòm ki t ap oprime nou yo.’
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.”
Men jodi a, nou te rejte Bondye nou an, ki delivre nou de tout malè nou yo ak detrès nou yo. Malgre sa nou vin di: ‘Non, men mete yon wa sou nou!’ Pou sa, prezante nou menm devan SENYÈ a pa tribi nou yo ak gran fanmi nou yo.”
20 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
Konsa, Samuel te mennen tout tribi Israël yo vin toupre li, e tribi Benjamin an te pran pa tiraj osò.
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.
Alò, li te mennen tribi Benjamin an vin toupre pa fanmi li yo, e yo te pran fanmi Matri a. Konsa, Saül, fis a Kish la te vin pran. Men lè yo vin chache li, yo pa t kab twouve l.
22 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
Pou sa, yo vin mande plis a SENYÈ a: “Èske nonm nan gen tan rive isit la deja?” Pou sa, Bondye te di: “Gade byen, l ap kache kò li kote pwovizyon yo.”
23 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Konsa yo te kouri pran li soti la, e lè li te kanpe pami pèp la, li te pi wo pase tout lòt moun nan pèp la soti nan zepòl li.
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 te di a tout pèp la: “Èske nou wè sila ke SENYÈ a te chwazi a? Anverite, nanpwen lòt moun ki tankou li pami tout pèp la.” “Konsa, tout pèp la te rele fò. Yo te di: “Viv Wa a!”
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.
Alò, Samuel te pale pèp la règleman a wayòm nan. Li te ekri yo nan liv la, e li te plase li devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, Samuel te voye tout pèp la ale, yo chak nan pwòp kay pa yo.
26 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
Anplis Saül te ale lakay li Guibea. Epi mesye vanyan yo avèk kè ki te touche pa Bondye te ale avèk li.
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.
Men sèten sanzave ki te di: “Kijan mesye sila a kapab delivre nou?” Yo te meprize li e pa t pote okenn kado pou li. Men li te rete an silans.
