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.
Samuẹli sì mú ìgò kékeré tí òróró wà nínú rẹ̀, ó sì dà á sí orí Saulu. Ó sì fi ẹnu kò ó ní ẹnu, wí pé, “Olúwa kò ha tí fi òróró yàn ọ ní olórí lórí ohun ìní rẹ̀?
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?’
Bí ìwọ bá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi lónìí, ìwọ yóò bá ọkùnrin méjì pàdé lẹ́bàá ibojì Rakeli ní Selsa, ní agbègbè Benjamini. Wọ́n yóò sọ fún ọ pé, ‘Kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tí ìwọ jáde lọ láti wá ní wọn tí rí.

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.
“Nígbà náà, ìwọ yóò lọ láti ibẹ̀ títí yóò fi dé ibi igi ńlá Tabori. Ọkùnrin mẹ́ta tí wọ́n ń gòkè lọ sọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní Beteli yóò pàdé rẹ níbẹ̀. Ọ̀kan yóò mú ọmọ ewúrẹ́ mẹ́ta lọ́wọ́, èkejì, ìṣù àkàrà mẹ́ta àti ẹ̀kẹta yóò mú ìgò wáìnì.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread which you should take.
Wọ́n yóò kí ọ, wọn yóò sì fún ọ ní ìṣù àkàrà méjì, tí ìwọ yóò gbà lọ́wọ́ wọn.
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.
“Lẹ́yìn náà, ìwọ yóò lọ sí òkè Ọlọ́run, níbi tí ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini wà. Bí ìwọ ti ń súnmọ́ ìlú náà, ìwọ yóò bá àwọn wòlíì tí ó tò lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ bọ̀ láti ibi gíga, pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn, tambori àti fèrè àti haapu níwájú wọn, wọn yóò sì máa sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa yóò sì bà lé ọ, ìwọ yóò sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn, ìwọ yóò sì di ẹni ọ̀tọ̀.
7 After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, for God is with you.
Bí ìwọ bá ti rí àmì wọ̀nyí, ṣe ohunkóhun tí ọwọ́ rẹ bá bà láti ṣe, nítorí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.
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.”
“Lọ ṣáájú mi sí Gilgali. Èmi yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti rú ẹbọ sísun àti láti rú ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gbọdọ̀ dúró fún ọjọ́ méje títí èmi yóò fi wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ láti sọ fún ọ ohun tí ó yẹ tí ìwọ yóò ṣe.”
9 The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled that day.
Bí Saulu ti yípadà láti fi Samuẹli sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run yí ọkàn Saulu padà àti pé gbogbo àmì wọ̀nyí sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ ní ọjọ́ náà.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé òkè Gibeah náà, àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń tò ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ pàdé rẹ̀, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run bà lé e nínú agbára, ó sì darapọ̀ bá wọ́n sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀.
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?”
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti mọ̀ ọ́n tẹ́lẹ̀ rí i tó ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn wòlíì, wọ́n bi ara wọn, “Kí ni ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ Kiṣi yìí. Ṣé Saulu wà lára àwọn wòlíì ni?”
12 A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
Ọkùnrin kan tí ó ń gbé níbẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Ta ni baba wọn?” Ó ti di ohun tí a fi ń pa òwe pé, ǹjẹ́ Saulu náà wà lára àwọn wòlíì bí?
13 After Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Lẹ́yìn tí Saulu dákẹ́ sísọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀, ó lọ sí ibi gíga.
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.”
Nísinsin yìí, arákùnrin baba Saulu béèrè lọ́wọ́ Saulu àti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Níbo ni ẹ lọ?” Ó wí pé, “À ń wá àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́,” ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a kò rí wọn, a lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Samuẹli.
15 “Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
Arákùnrin baba Saulu wí pé, “Sọ fún mi ohun tí Samuẹli wí fún un yín.”
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.
Saulu dáhùn pé, “Ó fi dá wa lójú pé wọ́n ti rí àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún arákùnrin baba a rẹ̀ ohun tí Samuẹli sọ nípa ọba jíjẹ.
17 Samuel called the people of Israel to come before the Lord at Mizpah.
Samuẹli pé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ sí iwájú Olúwa ní Mispa.
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.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ, ‘Èmi mú Israẹli jáde wá láti Ejibiti, Èmi sì gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára Ejibiti àti gbogbo ìjọba tí ó ń pọ́n ọn yín lójú.’
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti kọ Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó gbà yín kúrò nínú gbogbo wàhálà àti ìpọ́njú yín. Ẹ̀yin sì ti sọ pé, ‘Rárá, yan ọba kan fún wa.’ Báyìí, ẹ kó ara yín jọ níwájú Olúwa ní ẹ̀yà àti ìdílé yín.”
20 Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli mú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli súnmọ́ tòsí, ó yan ẹ̀yà Benjamini.
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.
Ó kó ẹ̀yà Benjamini síwájú ní ìdílé ìdílé, a sì yan ìdílé Matiri. Ní ìparí a sì yan Saulu ọmọ Kiṣi. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ìgbà tí wọ́n wá a, a kò rí i,
22 So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ìwádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa pé, “Ṣé ọkùnrin náà ti wá sí bí ni?” Olúwa sì sọ pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ti fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ láàrín àwọn ẹrù.”
23 They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Wọ́n sáré, wọ́n sì mú un jáde wá. Bí ó ti dúró láàrín àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì ga ju gbogbo àwọn tí ó kù lọ láti èjìká rẹ̀ sókè.
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!”
Samuẹli sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ṣé ẹ ti ri ọkùnrin tí Olúwa ti yàn? Kò sí ẹnìkan bí i rẹ̀ láàrín gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn.” Nígbà náà àwọn ènìyàn kígbe pé, “Kí ẹ̀mí ọba kí ó gùn!”
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.
Samuẹli ṣàlàyé fún àwọn ènìyàn àwọn ìlànà ìjọba. Ó kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé, ó sì fi lélẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa. Lẹ́yìn náà, Samuẹli tú àwọn ènìyàn ká olúkúlùkù sí ilé e rẹ̀.
26 Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help him.
Saulu náà padà sí ilé e rẹ̀ ní Gibeah. Àwọn akọni ọkùnrin tí Ọlọ́run ti fi ọwọ́ tọ́ ọkàn wọ́n sì sìn ín.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Beliali wí pé, “Báwo ni ọkùnrin yìí yóò ti ṣe gbà wá?” Wọ́n kẹ́gàn rẹ̀, wọn kò sì mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún un, ṣùgbọ́n Saulu fọwọ́ lérán.
