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.
tulit autem Samuhel lenticulam olei et effudit super caput eius et deosculatus eum ait ecce unxit te Dominus super hereditatem suam in principem
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?’
cum abieris hodie a me invenies duos viros iuxta sepulchrum Rachel in finibus Beniamin in meridie dicentque tibi inventae sunt asinae ad quas ieras perquirendas et intermissis pater tuus asinis sollicitus est pro vobis et dicit quid faciam de filio meo
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.
cumque abieris inde et ultra transieris et veneris ad quercum Thabor invenient te ibi tres viri ascendentes ad Deum in Bethel unus portans tres hedos et alius tres tortas panis et alius portans lagoenam vini
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
cumque te salutaverint dabunt tibi duos panes et accipies de manu eorum
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.
post haec venies in collem Domini ubi est statio Philisthinorum et cum ingressus fueris ibi urbem obviam habebis gregem prophetarum descendentium de excelso et ante eos psalterium et tympanum et tibiam et citharam ipsosque prophetantes
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
et insiliet in te spiritus Domini et prophetabis cum eis et mutaberis in virum alium
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
quando ergo evenerint signa haec omnia tibi fac quaecumque invenerit manus tua quia Dominus tecum est
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.”
et descendes ante me in Galgala ego quippe descendam ad te ut offeras oblationem et immoles victimas pacificas septem diebus expectabis donec veniam ad te et ostendam tibi quae facias
9 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
itaque cum avertisset umerum suum ut abiret a Samuhele inmutavit ei Deus cor aliud et venerunt omnia signa haec in die illa
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.
veneruntque ad praedictum collem et ecce cuneus prophetarum obvius ei et insilivit super eum spiritus Dei et prophetavit in medio eorum
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?”
videntes autem omnes qui noverant eum heri et nudius tertius quod esset cum prophetis et prophetaret dixerunt ad invicem quaenam res accidit filio Cis num et Saul in prophetis
12 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
responditque alius ad alterum dicens et quis pater eorum propterea versum est in proverbium num et Saul inter prophetas
13 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
cessavit autem prophetare et venit ad excelsum
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.”
dixitque patruus Saul ad eum et ad puerum eius quo abistis qui responderunt quaerere asinas quas cum non repperissemus venimus ad Samuhelem
15 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
et dixit ei patruus suus indica mihi quid dixerit tibi Samuhel
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.
et ait Saul ad patruum suum indicavit nobis quia inventae essent asinae de sermone autem regni non indicavit ei quem locutus illi fuerat Samuhel
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
et convocavit Samuhel populum ad Dominum in Maspha
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.
et ait ad filios Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ego eduxi Israhel de Aegypto et erui vos de manu Aegyptiorum et de manu omnium regum qui adfligebant vos
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.”
vos autem hodie proiecistis Deum vestrum qui solus salvavit vos de universis malis et tribulationibus vestris et dixistis nequaquam sed regem constitue super nos nunc ergo state coram Domino per tribus vestras et per familias
20 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
et adplicuit Samuhel omnes tribus Israhel et cecidit sors tribus Beniamin
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.
et adplicuit tribum Beniamin et cognationes eius et cecidit cognatio Metri et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis quaesierunt ergo eum et non est inventus
22 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
et consuluerunt post haec Dominum utrumnam venturus esset illuc responditque Dominus ecce absconditus est domi
23 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
cucurrerunt itaque et tulerunt eum inde stetitque in medio populi et altior fuit universo populo ab umero et sursum
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!”
et ait Samuhel ad omnem populum certe videtis quem elegit Dominus quoniam non sit similis ei in omni populo et clamavit cunctus populus et ait vivat rex
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.
locutus est autem Samuhel ad populum legem regni et scripsit in libro et reposuit coram Domino et dimisit Samuhel omnem populum singulos in domum suam
26 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
sed et Saul abiit in domum suam in Gabaath et abiit cum eo pars exercitus quorum tetigerat Deus corda
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.
filii vero Belial dixerunt num salvare nos poterit iste et despexerunt eum et non adtulerunt ei munera ille vero dissimulabat se audire
