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?
Tulit autem Samuel lenticulam olei, et effudit super caput eius, et deosculatus est eum, et ait: Ecce, unxit te Dominus super hereditatem suam in principem, et liberabis populum suum de manibus inimicorum eius, qui in circuitu eius sunt. Et hoc tibi signum, quia unxit te Deus in principem.
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?
Cum abieris hodie a me, invenies duos viros iuxta sepulchrum Rachel in finibus Beniamin, in Meridie, dicentque tibi: Inventae sunt asinae, ad quas ieras perquirendas: et intermissis pater tuus asinis, solicitus est pro vobis, et dicit: Quid faciam de filio meo?
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:
Cumque abieris inde, et ultra transieris, et veneris ad quercum Thabor, invenient te ibi tres viri ascendentes ad Deum in Bethel, unus portans tres hoedos, et alius tres tortas panis, et alius portans lagenam vini.
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.
Cumque te salutaverint, dabunt tibi duos panes, et accipies de manu eorum.
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.
Post haec venies in collem Dei, ubi est statio Philisthinorum: et cum ingressus fueris ibi urbem, obvium habebis gregem prophetarum descendentium de excelso, et ante eos psalterium et tympanum, et tibiam, et citharam, ipsosque prophetantes.
6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come vpon thee, and thou shalt prophecie with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Et insiliet in te Spiritus Domini, et prophetabis cum eis, et mutaberis in virum alium.
7 Therefore when these signes shall come vnto to thee, doe as occasion shall serue: for God is with thee.
Quando ergo evenerint signa haec omnia tibi, fac quaecumque invenerit manus tua, quia Dominus tecum est.
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.
Et descendes ante me in Galgala, (ego quippe descendam ad te) ut offeras oblationem, et immoles victimas pacificas: septem diebus expectabis, donec veniam ad te, et ostendam tibi quid facias.
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.
Itaque cum avertisset humerum suum ut abiret a Samuele, immutavit ei Deus cor aliud, et venerunt omnia signa haec in die illa.
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.
Veneruntque ad praedictum collem, et ecce cuneus prophetarum obvius ei: et insiluit super eum Spiritus Domini, et prophetavit in medio eorum.
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?
Videntes autem omnes qui noverant eum heri et nudiustertius, quod esset cum prophetis, et prophetaret, dixerunt ad invicem: Quaenam res accidit filio Cis? num et Saul inter prophetas?
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?
Responditque alius ad alterum, dicens: Et quis pater eius? propterea versum est in proverbium: Num et Saul inter prophetas?
13 And when he had made an ende of prophecying, he came to the hie place.
Cessavit autem prophetare, et venit ad excelsum.
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.
Dixitque patruus Saul ad eum, et ad puerum eius: Quo abistis? Qui responderunt: Quaerere asinas: quas cum non reperissemus, venimus ad Samuelem.
15 And Sauls vncle saide, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said vnto you.
Et dixit ei patruus suus: Indica mihi quid dixerit tibi Samuel.
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.
Et ait Saul ad patruum suum: Indicavit nobis quia inventae essent asinae. De sermone autem regni non indicavit ei quem locutus fuerat ei Samuel.
17 And Samuel assembled the people vnto the Lord in Mizpeh,
Et convocavit Samuel populum ad Dominum in Maspha:
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.
et ait ad filios Israel: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ego eduxi Israel de Aegypto, et erui vos de manu Aegyptiorum, et de manu omnium regum qui affligebant vos.
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.
Vos autem hodie proiecistis Deum vestrum, qui solus salvavit vos de universis malis et tribulationibus vestris: et dixistis: Nequaquam: sed regem constitue super nos. Nunc ergo state coram Domino per tribus vestras, et per familias.
20 And when Samuel had gathered together all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Beniamin was taken.
Et applicuit Samuel omnes tribus Israel, et cecidit sors tribus Beniamin.
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.
Et applicuit tribum Beniamin et cognationes eius, et cecidit cognatio Metri, et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis. Quaesierunt ergo eum, et non est inventus.
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.
Et consuluerunt post haec Dominum utrumnam venturus esset illuc. Responditque Dominus: Ecce absconditus est domi.
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.
Cucurrerunt itaque et tulerunt eum inde: stetitque in medio populi, et altior fuit universo populo ab humero et sursum.
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.
Et ait Samuel ad omnem populum: Certe videtis quem elegit Dominus, quoniam non sit similis illi in omni populo. Et clamavit omnis populus, et ait: Vivat rex.
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.
Locutus est autem Samuel ad populum legem regni, et scripsit in libro, et reposuit coram Domino: et dimisit Samuel omnem populum, singulos in domum suam.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there followed him a bande of men, whose heart God had touched,
Sed et Saul abiit in domum suam in Gabaa: et abiit cum eo pars exercitus, quorum tetigerat Deus corda.
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.
Filii vero Belial dixerunt: Num salvare nos poterit iste? Et despexerunt eum, et non attulerunt ei munera: ille vero dissimulabat se audire.
