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.
Ary Samoela nitondra tavoara feno diloilo ka nanidina ny diloilo teo an-dohan’ i Saoly, dia nanoroka azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy nanosotra anao va Jehovah mba ho mpanapaka ny lovany?
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?’
Rehefa misaraka amiko ianao anio, dia hahita olona roa lahy eo anilan’ ny fasan-dRahely, ao amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Benjamina, ao Zelza, ary izy ireo hilaza aminao hoe: Efa hita ny boriky izay notadiavinao; ary, indro, tsy ny boriky intsony no heverin’ ny rainao, fa ianareo kosa indray no ahiny, ka hoy izy: Ahoana re no hataoko ny amin’ ny zanako?
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.
Dia handroso hiala ao ianao ka ho tonga ao amin’ ny hazo terebinta any Tabara, dia hifanena amin’ ny olona telo lahy miakatra ho any amin’ Andriamanitra any Betela, ny anankiray mitondra zanak’ osy telo, ny anankiray mitondra mofo telo, ary ny anankiray mitondra divay iray tavoara;
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
ary hiarahaba anao ireo sy hanome anao mofo roa, dia horaisinao amin’ ny tànany izany.
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.
Rehefa afaka izany, dia ho tonga any Gibean’ Andriamanitra ianao, izay misy miaramilan’ ny Filistina; ary rehefa tonga ao an-tanàna ianao, dia hifanena amin’ ny mpaminany maro irai-dia midìna avy ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo mitondra lokanga sy ampongatapaka sy sodina ary valiha eo alohany, dia haminany ireo.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
Ary hilatsaka aminao ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ka hiara-maminany aminy ianao, dia ho voaova ho olom-baovao.
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
Ary rehefa tonga aminao ireo famantarana ireo, dia ataovy izay azon’ ny tananao atao, fa Andriamanitra no momba anao.
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.”
Ary ianao hidina eo alohako ho any Gilgala, ary indro aho hidina ho any aminao mba hanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana; ka hafitoana no hitoeranao mandra-pahatongako aminao, dia holazaiko aminao izay hataonao.
9 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
Ary raha vao nihodina niala tamin’ i Samoela izy, dia nomen’ Andriamanitra fo vaovao; ary tonga avokoa androtrizay ihany ireo famantarana rehetra ireo.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Gibea, izy indro, ny mpaminany maro irai-dia nifanena taminy; dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Saoly ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka naminany teo aminy izy.
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?”
Ary nony hitan’ izay rehetra nahalala azy hatramin’ ny taloha fa, indro, maminany eo amin’ ny mpaminany izy, dia nifampilaza ny olona ka nanao hoe: Inona izao tonga amin’ ny zanak’ i Kisy izao? Saoly koa va mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
12 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
Ary ny anankiray teo namaly hoe: Fa iza moa no rain’ ireny? Ary izany no nisehoan’ ny fitenenana hoe: Saoly koa va mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
13 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra naminany Saoly, dia nankeo amin’ ny fitoerana avo.
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.”
Ary hoy ny rahalahin-drain’ i Saoly taminy sy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Taiza no alehanareo? Ary hoy izy: Nitady ny boriky izahay; ka nony tsy hitanay izy, dia nankany amin’ i Samoela izahay.
15 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
Ary hoy ny rahalahin-drain’ i Saoly: Masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay nolazain’ i Samoela taminao.
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.
Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ ny rahalahin-drainy: Nolazainy marimarina taminay fa efa hita ny boriky. Fa ilay nolazain’ i Samoela ny amin’ ny fanjakana tsy mba nambarany taminy.
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
Ary Samoela namory ny vahoaka ho any Mizpa ho any amin’ i Jehovah
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.
ka nanao tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izaho nitondra ny Isiraely niakatra avy tany Egypta ka namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana sy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fanjakana rehetra izay nampahory anareo.
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.”
Nefa ianareo kosa efa nandà an’ Andriamanitrareo androany, Izay mamonjy anareo amin’ ny zavatra manjo anareo sy ny fahorianareo rehetra; fa hoy ianareo taminy: Tsia, fa manendre mpanjaka ho anay. Koa ankehitriny, mijanòna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah araka ny firenenareo sy ny arivonareo avy.
20 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
Dia nampanatona ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra Samoela, ka ny firenen’ i Benjamina no voafidy.
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.
Dia nampanatona ny firenen’ i Benjamina araka ny fokony avy izy, ary ny fokon’ ny Matrita no voafidy. Dia voafidy Saoly, zanak’ i Kisy; ary raha nitady azy ny olona, dia tsy nahita azy.
22 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
Dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah indray ny olona, na mba efa tonga ao ralehilahy, na tsia. Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, miery ao amin’ ny entana izy.
23 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Dia nihazakazaka ny olona ka naka azy tao; ary rehefa nitsangana teo afovoan’ ny olona izy, dia nanan-tombo noho ny olona rehetra hatramin’ ny sorony no ho miakatra ny halavany.
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!”
Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra: Hitanareo va izay nofidin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy misy tahaka azy eo amin’ ny vahoaka rehetra? Dia nihoby ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka.
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.
Ary Samoela nilaza tamin’ ny olona izay mety ho fitondrana ny fanjakana, dia nosoratany tamin’ ny taratasy izany ka napetrany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra samy nampodin’ i Samoela ho any an-tranony avy.
26 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
Fa Saoly kosa nandeha nody tany Gibea, ary nomba azy ny olona maro, izay voatendrin’ ny tànan’ Andriamanitra ny fony.
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.
Fa nisy kosa olona tena ratsy fanahy nanao hoe: Hataon’ io lehilahy io ahoana no famonjy antsika? Dia nanazimba an’ i Saoly ireo ka tsy nitondra fanomezana ho azy. Nefa Saoly dia tahaka ny marenina.
