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.
Ergasii Saamuʼeel zayitii bilillee tokko fuudhee mataa Saaʼol irratti dhangalaasee isa dhungatee akkana jedhe; “Akka ati dhaala isaa irratti mootuuf Waaqayyo si hin dibnee?
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?’
Harʼa ati yeroo na biraa deemtutti biyya Beniyaam keessatti awwaala Raahel biratti iddoo Zelzaa jedhamutti namoota lama ni argita. Isaanis, ‘Harroonni ati barbaadaa turte sun argamaniiru. Amma abbaan kee waaʼee harrootaa yaaduu dhiisee waaʼee kee, “Waaʼee ilma koo ani maal godhu laata?” jedhee yaaddaʼaa jira’ siin jedhu.
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.
“Ergasiis achii kaatee hamma qilxuu Taaboor guddichaatti ni deemta. Achittis namoonni sadii kanneen gara Waaqaa, gara Beetʼeelitti ol baʼaa jiran, inni tokko ilmoolee reʼee sadii, tokko immoo daabboo sadii, inni kaanis daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko baatanii sitti dhufu.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
Isaanis nagaa si gaafatanii daabboo lama siif kennu; atis isaan harkaa ni fudhatta.
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.
“Sana booddees iddoo hoomaan waraana Filisxeem jiru gara Gibeʼaa gara tulluu Waaqaa ni dhaqxa. Atis akkuma magaalaatti dhiʼaatteen gareen raajotaa tokko masiinqoo, dibbee, ulullee fi baganaa qabatee gaara gubbaadhaa gad sitti dhufa; isaanis raajii ni dubbatu.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
Hafuurri Waaqayyoo humnaan sirra ni buʼa; atis isaan wajjin raajii dubbatta; geeddaramtees nama biraa taata.
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
Yeroo mallattoowwan kunneen fiixaan baʼanitti waan harka keetti dhufe hunda hojjedhu; Waaqni si wajjin jiraatii.
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.”
“Ati na dura gara Gilgaalitti gad buʼi. Anis aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma nagaa dhiʼeessuuf gara kee nan dhufa; ati garuu hamma ani dhufee waan ati gootu sitti himutti guyyaa torba turuu qabda.”
9 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
Yeroo Saaʼol Saamuʼeelin dhiisee deemuuf fuula isaa garagalfatetti, Waaqni Saaʼoliif qalbii haaraa kenne. Mallattoowwan kunneen hundinuus gaafas raawwataman.
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.
Yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa gaʼanittis gareen raajotaa tokko isatti dhufe; Hafuurri Waaqaas isa irra buʼe; innis isaan wajjin raajii dubbate.
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?”
Warri duraan isa beekan hundi yeroo raajota wajjin raajii dubbachuu isaa arganitti, “Ilma Qiishiitti maaltu dhufe? Saaʼolis garee raajotaa keessaa tokkoo?” jedhanii wal gagaafatan.
12 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
Namichi achi jiraatu tokkos, “Abbaan isaanii eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Kanaafuu jechi, “Saaʼolis garee raajotaa keessaa tokkoo?” jedhu sun mammaaksa taʼe.
13 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Saaʼolis erga raajii dubbachuu raawwatee booddee gaara sagadaatti ol baʼe.
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.”
Obboleessi abbaa Saaʼolis tajaajilaa isaatiin, “Isin eessa dhaqxan?” jedhee gaafate. Saaʼolis, “Harroota barbaacha deemne; garuu yommuu deebinetti Saamuʼeel bira dhaqne” jedhee deebise.
15 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
Obboleessi abbaa Saaʼol immoo, “Waan Saamuʼeel siin jedhe natti himi” jedhe.
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.
Saaʼolis deebisee, “Inni akka harroonni argaman nutti himeera” jedhe; garuu waan akka inni mootii taʼu Saamuʼeel itti hime sana obboleessa abbaa isaatti hin himne.
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼel gara Miisphaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti walitti waamee
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.
akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Ani Israaʼelin biyya Gibxiitii baaseera; harka warra Gibxii fi harka mootummoota isaan cunqursaa turan hundaa jalaas isin fureera.’
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.”
Isin garuu amma Waaqa keessan isa dhiphina keessanii fi rakkina keessan hunda jalaa isin baase sana dhiiftaniirtu. Isin, ‘waawuu; mootii nu bulchu nuu muudi’ jettaniirtu. Kanaafuu gosa gosaa fi balbala balbala keessaniin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti of dhiʼeessaa.”
20 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
Yommuu Saamuʼeel gosoota Israaʼel hunda fidettis gosti Beniyaam ni filatame.
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.
Ergasiis inni gosa Beniyaam balbala balbalaan fuula duratti dhiʼeessee balballi Maxriit filatame. Dhuma irrattis Saaʼol ilmi Qiish ni filatame. Inni garuu yommuu isa barbaadanitti hin argamne.
22 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
Kanaaf namoonni, “Namichi dhufee jiraa?” jedhanii ammas Waaqayyoon gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee; garuu inni miʼa keessa dhokatee jira” jedhe.
23 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Isaanis fiiganii achii isa fidan. Innis yeroo dhufee isaan gidduu dhaabatetti gatiittii isaatii olitti nama hunda caalaa dheeraa ture.
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!”
Saamuʼeelis saba sana hundaan, “Namicha Waaqayyo isa filate argituu? Saba hunda keessaa kan akka isaa tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhe. Namoonnis, “Mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jedhanii iyyan.
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.
Saamuʼeelis seera mootummaan sun ittiin bulu namootaaf ibse. Kitaaba keessattis barreessee fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe. Ergasii Saamuʼeel namoota hunda gara mana isaaniitti of irraa geggeesse.
26 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
Saaʼol garuu Gibeʼaatti deebiʼee mana ofii isaatti gale; namoonni jajjaboon Waaqni yaada isaanii kakaases isa wajjin deeman.
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.
Garuu namoonni kashlabboonni tokko tokko, “Namni kun akkamitti nu oolchuu dandaʼa?” jedhan. Isas ni tuffatan. Kennaa tokko illees hin fidneef. Saaʼol garuu ni calʼise.
