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?
Mgbe ahụ, Samuel weere karama mmanụ wụkwasị ya nʼisi, sutukwa ya ọnụ nʼagba sị ya, “Ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị etebeghị gị mmanụ ime gị onyendu ihe nketa ya?
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?
Mgbe ị ga-ahapụ m nʼebe a, ị ga-ahụ ndị ikom abụọ nʼakụkụ ili Rechel na Zelza, nʼala Benjamin, ha ga-agwa gị, ‘A chọtala ịnyịnya ibu ndị ahụ furu efu, ugbu a, nna gị akwụsịla iche ihe gbasara ịnyịnya ibu ya, ma ọ nọkwa na-echegbu onwe ya nʼihi gị, ọ na-ajụ, “Olee ihe m ga-eme banyere ọkpara m?”’
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:
“Mgbe i ruru nʼosisi ukwu Taboa, ị ga-ezute ndị ikom atọ ndị na-aga ife Chineke ofufe na Betel. Otu nʼime ha ga-ebu ụmụ ewu atọ, nke ọzọ ga-eji ogbe achịcha atọ, ma nke atọ ga-eji otu karama mmanya.
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.
Ha ga-ajụ gị banyere ọdịmma gị, nyekwa gị ogbe achịcha abụọ, nke ị ga-anara site nʼaka ha.
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.
“Emesịa, ị ga-aga Gibea nke Chineke, ebe ndị agha ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu nche. Mgbe ị na-abata obodo ahụ, ị ga-ezute ndị amụma, ndị si nʼebe dị elu ahụ na-arịdata. Ha ga na-akpọ une, na egwu otiti, na ọja, na ụbọ akwara. Ha ga na-ebukwa amụma.
6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come vpon thee, and thou shalt prophecie with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Nʼoge ahụ, mmụọ Onyenwe anyị ga-abịakwasị gị, ị ga-esorokwa ha buo amụma. Ị ga-abụkwa onye a gbanwere, onye dị iche.
7 Therefore when these signes shall come vnto to thee, doe as occasion shall serue: for God is with thee.
Mgbe ihe ịrịbama ndị a mezuru ị ga na-eme ihe ọbụla i chepụtara nʼobi gị, nʼihi na Chineke nọnyeere gị.
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.
“Ị ga-aga Gilgal chere m nʼebe ahụ abalị asaa, nʼihi na ana m abịa ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo. Aga m agwa gị ihe ị ga-eme mgbe m bịara.”
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.
Mgbe ọ na-atụgharị ka ọ si ebe Samuel nọ pụọ, Chineke gbanwere ya, nye ya obi ọhụrụ, ihe ịrịbama ndị ahụ mezukwara nʼụbọchị ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ya na onye na-ejere ya ozi rutere Gibea, ndị amụma nọ nʼahịrị zutere ha. Mmụọ nke Chineke bịakwasịrị ya nʼebe ọ dị ukwu, o sooro ha malite ibu amụma.
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?
Mgbe ndị niile maara Sọl hụrụ ya ka o so ndị a na-ebu amụma, ha jụrụ onwe ha ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị mere nwa Kish? Sọl, ọ ghọọla otu nʼime ndị amụma?”
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?
Otu nʼime ndị bi nʼebe ahụ jụrụ sị, “Onye ka nna ha bụ?” Nke a bụ mmalite okwu ahụ a na-ekwu sị, “Sọl ọ ghọọla otu nʼime ndị amụma?”
13 And when he had made an ende of prophecying, he came to the hie place.
Mgbe Sọl buchara amụma, ọ rigooro gaa nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ dị nʼelu ugwu.
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.
Mgbe nwanne nna ya hụrụ Sọl, ọ jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Olee ebe ị gara?” Sọl zara ya sị, “Anyị gara ịchọ ịnyịnya ibu ndị ahụ furu efu, ma anyị achọtaghị ha, nʼihi ya anyị gara nʼebe onye amụma a na-akpọ Samuel ịjụta ase ebe ha nọ.”
15 And Sauls vncle saide, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said vnto you.
Ma nwanne nna Sọl sịrị, “Gwa m ihe Samuel gwara gị.”
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.
Sọl zara ya sị, “Ọ gwara anyị na a chọtala ịnyịnya ibu ndị ahụ.” Ma okwu gbasara alaeze, dịka Samuel siri kwuo ya, ọ gwaghị ya ihe ọbụla.
17 And Samuel assembled the people vnto the Lord in Mizpeh,
Emesịa, Samuel kpọrọ nzukọ ndị Izrel niile na Mizpa, ka ha bịa zute Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Mụ onwe m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta Izrel ma napụtakwa unu site nʼaka ike ndị Ijipt, na site nʼaka alaeze niile bụ ndị kpagburu unu.’
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.
Ma ugbu a, unu ajụla Chineke unu onye na-azọpụta unu site nʼihe ndakwasị na nhụju anya unu niile. Unu kwukwara sị, ‘Mba, nye anyị eze ga-achị anyị.’ Ugbu a, doonụ onwe unu nʼusoro nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka ebo unu na ikwu unu niile si dị.”
20 And when Samuel had gathered together all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Beniamin was taken.
Samuel mere ka ebo Izrel niile bịaruo nso nʼebo nʼebo, nza mara ebo Benjamin.
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.
O mere ka ebo Benjamin bịaruo nso nʼagbụrụ nʼagbụrụ, nza mara agbụrụ Matri. Nʼikpeazụ nza ahụ mara Sọl, nwa Kish. Ha chọgharịrị ya ma ha ahụghị ya.
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.
Ha jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase ọzọ, “Nwoke ahụ ọ bịala nʼebe a?” Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “E, Lee, o zoro onwe ya nʼetiti akpa ndị ahụ.”
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.
Ha gbaara gaa nʼebe ahụ kpọpụta ya. Mgbe ọ pụtara guzoro nʼetiti ha, ha hụrụ na o toro ogologo karịa onye ọbụla site nʼubu ruo nʼisi.
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.
Samuel gwara ndị ahụ niile okwu sị, “Onye a bụ nwoke ahụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara ka ọ bụrụ eze unu. Ọ dịghị onye ọzọ dịka ya nʼIzrel!” Mgbe ahụ, mmadụ niile tiri mkpu sị, “Ka eze dị ogologo ndụ gaa nʼihu!”
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.
Ọzọkwa, Samuel gwara ndị Izrel ihe bụ ọrụ eze, na ihe ruuru ya. O dekwara ihe ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, debe akwụkwọ ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Emesịa, Samuel mechiri nzukọ ahụ. Onye ọbụla laghachikwara nʼụlọ ya.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there followed him a bande of men, whose heart God had touched,
Mgbe Sọl laghachiri nʼobodo ya, bụ Gibea, ndị ikom ndị Chineke metụrụ aka nʼobi sooro ya.
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.
Ma ụfọdụ ndị efulefu jọgburu onwe ha kwuru sị, “Olee otu nwoke a ga-esi zọpụta anyị?” Ha lelịrị ya anya, jụkwa iwetara ya onyinye ịnata ihuọma. Ma Sọl gbachitere ha nkịtị.
