1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?
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 thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for 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 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle 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 And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves] of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
Isaanis nagaa si gaafatanii daabboo lama siif kennu; atis isaan harkaa ni fudhatta.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is] the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
“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 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Hafuurri Waaqayyoo humnaan sirra ni buʼa; atis isaan wajjin raajii dubbatta; geeddaramtees nama biraa taata.
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.
Yeroo mallattoowwan kunneen fiixaan baʼanitti waan harka keetti dhufe hunda hojjedhu; Waaqni si wajjin jiraatii.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt 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 And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
Yeroo Saaʼol Saamuʼeelin dhiisee deemuuf fuula isaa garagalfatetti, Waaqni Saaʼoliif qalbii haaraa kenne. Mallattoowwan kunneen hundinuus gaafas raawwataman.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa gaʼanittis gareen raajotaa tokko isatti dhufe; Hafuurri Waaqaas isa irra buʼe; innis isaan wajjin raajii dubbate.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
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 And one of the same place answered and said, But who [is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Namichi achi jiraatu tokkos, “Abbaan isaanii eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Kanaafuu jechi, “Saaʼolis garee raajotaa keessaa tokkoo?” jedhu sun mammaaksa taʼe.
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Saaʼolis erga raajii dubbachuu raawwatee booddee gaara sagadaatti ol baʼe.
14 And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that [they were] no where, we came 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 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
Obboleessi abbaa Saaʼol immoo, “Waan Saamuʼeel siin jedhe natti himi” jedhe.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
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 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼel gara Miisphaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti walitti waamee
18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed 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 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
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 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Yommuu Saamuʼeel gosoota Israaʼel hunda fidettis gosti Beniyaam ni filatame.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not 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 Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
Kanaaf namoonni, “Namichi dhufee jiraa?” jedhanii ammas Waaqayyoon gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee; garuu inni miʼa keessa dhokatee jira” jedhe.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Isaanis fiiganii achii isa fidan. Innis yeroo dhufee isaan gidduu dhaabatetti gatiittii isaatii olitti nama hunda caalaa dheeraa ture.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save 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 told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
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 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
Saaʼol garuu Gibeʼaatti deebiʼee mana ofii isaatti gale; namoonni jajjaboon Waaqni yaada isaanii kakaases isa wajjin deeman.
27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
Garuu namoonni kashlabboonni tokko tokko, “Namni kun akkamitti nu oolchuu dandaʼa?” jedhan. Isas ni tuffatan. Kennaa tokko illees hin fidneef. Saaʼol garuu ni calʼise.
