1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel tooke a viole of oyle and powred it vpon his head, and kissed him, and saide, Hath not the Lord anointed thee to be gouernour ouer his inheritance?
Tete Samuel tsɔ amigoe eye wòkɔ amia ɖe Saul ƒe tame, hegbugbɔ nu nɛ eye wògblɔ be, “Ɖe Yehowa mesi ami na wò be nàɖu fia ɖe eƒe domenyinu dzi oa?
2 When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt finde two men by Rahels sepulchre in the border of Beniamin, euen at Zelzah, and they will say vnto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seeke, are founde: and lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and soroweth for you, saying, What shall I doe for my sonne?
Ne èdzo le gbɔnye egbea la, àkpɔ ŋutsu eve aɖewo le Rahel ƒe yɔdo gbɔ le Zelza le Benyamin ƒe to la ƒe liƒo dzi. Woagblɔ na wò be, ‘Wofɔ tedzi siwo nèle didim. Fofowò megatsi dzi ɖe tedziawo ŋuti o ke boŋ etsi dzi ɖe ŋutiwò. Ele biabiam be, “Nu ka mawɔ tso vinye ŋuti?”’
3 Then shalt thou go forth from thence and shalt come to the plaine of Tabor, and there shall meete thee three men going vp to God to Bethel: one carying three kiddes, and an other carying three loaues of bread, and another carying a bottle of wine:
“Hafi nàdo ɖe Tabɔr ƒe logoti gbɔ la, ŋutsu etɔ̃ ava do go wò, ame siwo yina Mawu subɔ ge le Betel. Gbɔ̃vi etɔ̃ anɔ ɖeka si, abolo etɔ̃ anɔ evelia si eye wain go ɖeka anɔ etɔ̃lia si.
4 And they will aske thee if all be well, and will giue thee the two loaues of bread, which thou shalt receiue of their handes.
Woado gbe na wò eye woana abolo eve wò. Xɔ aboloawo.
5 After that shalt thou come to the hill of God, where is the garisons of the Philistims: and when thou art come thither to the citie, thou shalt meete a companie of Prophets comming downe from the hie place with a viole, and a tymbrell, and a pipe, and an harpe before them, and they shall prophecie.
“Le esia megbe la, àva ɖo Mawu ƒe Gibea, afi si Filistitɔwo ƒe dzɔlawo le. Ne èɖo ta dua me la, àdo go Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe ha siwo ɖiɖi tso kɔkɔƒe la gbɔna eye kasaŋkuwo, asiʋuiwo, kpẽwo kple gakasaŋkuwo anɔ ɖiɖim le wo ŋgɔ eye wole nya gblɔm ɖi.
6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come vpon thee, and thou shalt prophecie with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ adze dziwò kple ŋusẽ, àgblɔ nya ɖi kpli wo, eye woatrɔ wò nàzu ame bubu sãa.
7 Therefore when these signes shall come vnto to thee, doe as occasion shall serue: for God is with thee.
Zi ale si dzesi siawo va eme la, wɔ nu sia nu si tsɔ asi gbɔ na wò elabena Mawu li kpli wò.
8 And thou shalt goe downe before me to Gilgal: and I also will come downe vnto thee to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace. Tary for me seuen dayes, till I come to thee and shewe thee what thou shalt doe.
Dze ŋgɔ nam nàyi Gilgal. Mava gbɔwò le afi ma ava sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ. Gake ele be nàlalam ŋkeke adre va se ɖe esime mava be magblɔ nu si nàwɔ la na wò.”
9 And when he had turned his backe to goe from Samuel, God gaue him another heart: and all those tokens came to passe that same day.
Esi Saul trɔ be yeadzo le Samuel gbɔ la, Mawu trɔ Saul ƒe dzi eye dzesi siawo katã va eme gbe ma gbe.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, beholde, the companie of Prophets meete him, and the Spirit of God came vpon him, and he prophecied among them.
Esi Saul kple subɔla la ɖo Gibea la, wodo go Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe ha wogbɔna go do ge wo. Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ dze Saul dzi kple ŋusẽ eye eya hã de asi nyagbɔgblɔɖi me kpli wo.
11 Therefore all the people that knewe him before, when they saw that he prophecied among the Prophets, saide eche to other, What is come vnto the sonne of Kish? is Saul also among the Prophets?
Esi ame siwo nya Saul tsã kpɔe wònɔ nya gblɔm ɖi kple nyagblɔɖilawo la, wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nu kae nye esi dzɔ ɖe Kis ƒe vi la dzĩ? Saul hãe le nyagblɔɖilawo domea?”
12 And one of the same place answered, and said, But who is their father? Therefore it was a prouerbe, Is Saul also among the Prophets?
Ŋutsu aɖe si nɔ ameawo dome la ɖo eŋu be, “Eye ame kae nye wo fofo?” Ale nya sia zu lodonya be, “Saul hãe le nyagblɔɖilawo domea?”
13 And when he had made an ende of prophecying, he came to the hie place.
Esi Saul wu nyagblɔɖi la nu la, eyi ɖe to la dzi.
14 And Sauls vncle saide vnto him, and to his seruant, Whither went ye? And he saide, To seeke the asses: and when we sawe that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
Azɔ la, Saul fofoa nɔvi ɖeka bia eya kple dɔla la be “Afi ka tututu mietso?” Saul ɖo eŋu be, “Míetso tedziawo di ge; míete ŋu kpɔ wo o, eya ta míeyi Nyagblɔɖila Samuel gbɔ be míabia afi si wole.”
15 And Sauls vncle saide, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said vnto you.
Gblɔ nu si Samuel gblɔ na wò la nam.
16 Then Saul saide to his vncle, He tolde vs plainely that the asses were founde: but concerning the kingdome whereof Samuel spake, tolde he him not.
Saul ɖo eŋu be, “Eka ɖe edzi nam be, wokpɔ tedziawo.” Gake megblɔ nu si Samuel gblɔ tso fiaɖuɖu la ŋuti ya na fofoa nɔvia o.
17 And Samuel assembled the people vnto the Lord in Mizpeh,
Azɔ la, Samuel na Israelviwo katã va kpe ta ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le Mizpa,
18 And he saide vnto the children of Israel, Thus saith ye Lord God of Israel, I haue brought Israel out of Egypt, and deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the handes of all kingdomes that troubled you.
eye wògblɔ na wo be ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Mekplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi eye meɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo kple dukɔ siwo katã nɔ fu wɔm mi la ƒe ŋusẽ me.
19 But ye haue this day cast away your God, who onely deliuereth you out of all your aduersities and tribulations: and ye said vnto him, No, but appoint a King ouer vs. Nowe therefore stand ye before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.
Ke, azɔ la, miegbe nu le miaƒe Mawu si ɖe mi tso dzɔgbevɔ̃ewo kple xaxawo katã me gbɔ hegblɔ be, ‘Ɖo fia na mí!’ Eya ta mido ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le miaƒe towo kple hlɔ̃wo me.”
20 And when Samuel had gathered together all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Beniamin was taken.
Ale Samuel ƒo ƒu Israel ƒe toawo ƒe kplɔlawo ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye wotia Benyamin ƒe to la.
21 Afterwarde he assembled the tribe of Beniamin according to their families, and the familie of Matri was taken. So Saul the sonne of Kish was taken, and when they sought him, he coulde not be found.
Samuel yɔ Benyamin ƒe to la ƒe ƒomewo va Yehowa ŋkume eye nudzidze la dze Matri ƒe ƒome la dzi. Mlɔeba la, nudzidze la dze Saul, Kis ƒe vi la dzi. Ke esi wotsa ŋku la, wokpɔ be Saul bu le ameawo dome.
22 Therefore they asked the Lord againe, if that man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Beholde, he hath hid himselfe among the stuffe.
Ale wogabia Yehowa be, “Amea le mía dome fifia?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, eɣla eɖokui ɖe agbawo dome.”
23 And they ranne, and brought him thence: and when he stoode among the people, he was hier then any of the people from the shoulders vpwarde.
Woƒu du yi ɖakplɔe vɛ tso afi ma eye esi wòtsi tsitre ɖe ameawo dome la, ekɔ eye ameawo se eƒe abɔta.
24 And Samuel saide to all the people, See ye not him, whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? and all the people shouted and saide, God saue the King.
Azɔ Samuel gblɔ na ameawo katã be, “Miele ame si Yehowa tia na mí la kpɔma? Ame aɖeke mesɔ kplii le Israel blibo la o!” Eye ameha la do ɣli be, “Fia la nenɔ agbe tegbee!”
25 Then Samuel tolde the people the duetie of the kingdome, and wrote it in a booke, and laied it vp before the Lord, and Samuel sent all the people away euery man to his house.
Le esia megbe la, Samuel tɔ asi nu siwo anye fia la ƒe gome kple eƒe dɔdeasiwo la dzi na ameha la. Eŋlɔ nu siawo ɖe lãgbalẽ dzi eye wòtsɔe ɖo Yehowa ŋkume. Samuel ɖe asi le dukɔ la ŋu eye ame sia ame yi eƒe du me.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there followed him a bande of men, whose heart God had touched,
Esi Saul trɔ va eƒe aƒe me le Gibea la, kalẽtɔ siwo ƒe dzi Mawu ʋã la yi kplii.
27 But the wicked men saide, Howe shall hee saue vs? So they despised him, and brought him no presents: but he held his tongue.
Gake ame vlo aɖewo gblɔ be, “Aleke ame sia tɔgbi ate ŋu aɖe mí?” Ale wodo vloe eye wometsɔ nunana ɖeke vɛ nɛ o, gake Saul megblɔ nya aɖeke o.
