1 Samuel 10
1 And Samuel took a flask of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Behold, it is because the Lord hath anointed thee over his inheritance as chief.
Tada Samuel uze uljanicu s uljem te je izli na glavu Šaulu; zatim ga poljubi i reče: “Ovim te Jahve pomazao za kneza nad svojim narodom Izraelom. Ti ćeš vladati nad narodom Jahvinim i izbavit ćeš ga iz ruke njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo. I evo ti znaka da te Jahve pomazao za kneza nad svojom baštinom.
2 When thou goest this day away from me, thou wilt find two men who are now by Rachel's sepulchre, on the boundary of Benjamin at Zelzach; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath given up the matter of the asses, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Kad odeš sada od mene, naći ćeš dva čovjeka kod Rahelina groba, na granici zemlje Benjaminove, u Selsahu. Oni će ti reći: 'Našle su se magarice koje si pošao tražiti; i gle, tvoj je otac zaboravio na magarice, a zabrinut je za vas i govori: Što da učinim za svoga sina?'
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come as far as the grove 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:
A kad odeš odande dalje i dođeš do Taborskog Hrasta, srest ćeš ondje tri čovjeka koja će ići gore k Bogu u Betel. Jedan će nositi tri jareta, drugi tri okrugla kruha, a treći mijeh vina.
4 And they will ask thee after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou must take from their hand.
Oni će te pozdraviti i dat će ti dva kruha, a ti ih primi iz njihove ruke.
5 After that shalt thou come to the hill of God, where the outposts of the Philistines are; and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou wilt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high-place, having before them a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp; and they will be prophesying;
Poslije toga doći ćeš u Gibeu Božju (gdje se nalazi filistejski stup). Kad uđeš u grad, namjerit ćeš se na povorku proroka koji će silaziti s uzvišice, a pred njima harfe, bubnjevi, frule i citre; oni će biti u proročkom zanosu.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will suddenly come over thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and thou shalt be changed into another man.
Tada će na te sići duh Jahvin te ćeš pasti u proročki zanos s njima i promijenit ćeš se u drugog čovjeka.
7 And it shall be, that, when these signs are come unto thee, then do thou what thy hand may be able to effect; for God is with thee.
A kad ti se ispune ti znakovi, onda čini kako ti se prilika pruži jer je Bog s tobom.
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 then will I tell thee what thou shalt do.
Zatim ćeš sići preda mnom u Gilgal i ja ću sići k tebi da prinesem žrtve paljenice i žrtve pričesnice. Sedam dana čekaj dok ne dođem k tebi i ne poučim te što ćeš činiti.”
9 And it happened, that, as he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God changed his heart into another; and all these signs came to pass on that same day.
Čim je Šaul okrenuo leđa da ode od Samuela, Bog mu promijeni srce i svi se oni znakovi ispuniše u onaj dan.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came suddenly over him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
Kad su, naime, došli u Gibeu, gle, dođe mu u susret povorka proroka i duh Božji siđe na njega te on pade u proročki zanos usred njih.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw, that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then said the people one to another, What is this that hath happened to the son of Kish? is Saul also among the prophets?
I kad su ga svi koji ga poznavahu otprije vidjeli gdje prorokuje s prorocima, počeše govoriti jedan drugome: “Što se to dogodilo sa sinom Kiševim? Zar je Šaul među prorocima?”
12 And one of that place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
A jedan od njih odvrati i reče: “A tko je njihov otac?” Otuda je nastala poslovica: “Zar je i Šaul među prorocima?”
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high-place.
Kad je prošao njegov zanos, Šaul se vrati kući.
14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither were ye gone? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel.
A Šaulov stric upita njega i njegova momka: “Kamo ste išli?” A Šaul odgovori: “Da tražimo magarice; a kad smo vidjeli da ih nema, otišli smo k Samuelu.”
15 And Saul's uncle said, Do tell me, I pray thee, what did Samuel say unto you.
A njegov ga stric zamoli: “Pripovijedaj mi što vam je rekao Samuel.”
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses had been found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel had spoken, he told him not.
A Šaul odgovori svome stricu: “Rekao nam je da su se našle magarice.” Ali mu ništa ne reče o kraljevskoj časti koju mu je prorekao Samuel.
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpah;
Poslije toga Samuel sazva narod pred Jahvu u Mispu
18 And he said unto the children of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I brought up Israel from Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;
i reče sinovima Izraelovim: “Ovako govori Jahve: 'Ja sam izveo Izraela iz Egipta i izbavio sam vas iz egipatske ruke i iz ruke svih kraljevstava koja su vas tlačila.
19 And ye for your part have this day rejected your God, he who hath saved you out of all your misfortunes and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nevertheless, thou must set a king over us: and now present yourselves before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.
A vi ste danas odbacili svoga Boga, onoga koji vas je izbavljao od svih vaših zala i svih vaših nevolja i rekli ste mu: 'Ne, nego postavi kralja nad nama!' Zato sada stanite pred Jahvom po svojim plemenima i rodovima.'”
20 And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near; and the tribe of Benjamin was seized.
Potom Samuel privede sva plemena Izraelova i ždrijeb pade na pleme Benjaminovo.
21 And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near according to its families, and the family of Matri was seized, and then was seized Saul the son of Kish: and they sought him, but he could not be found.
Zatim privede pleme Benjaminovo po rodovima i ždrijeb pade na Matrijev rod; a kad privede Matrijev rod, čovjeka po čovjeka, ždrijeb pade na Šaula, sina Kiševa; ali kad ga potražiše, na nađoše ga.
22 And they inquired again of the Lord, Is the man yet come hither? And the Lord said, Behold, he hath hidden himself among the vessels.
Tada još jednom upitaše Jahvu: “Je li taj čovjek došao ovamo?” A Jahve odgovori: “Eno ga, sakrio se za tovarom.”
23 And they ran and fetched him thence, and he placed himself erect in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Otrčaše i dovedoše ga odande; a kad je stao usred naroda, bijaše glavom i ramenima viši od sviju.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Have ye seen him whom the Lord hath made choice of, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Long live the king.
Tada Samuel reče svemu narodu: “Vidite li koga je izabrao Jahve? Nema mu ravna u svemu narodu.” I sav narod uze klicati i vikati: “Živio kralj!”
25 Then did Samuel speak to the people the rights of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it down before the Lord. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his house.
Nato Samuel objavi narodu kraljevsko pravo i zapisa ga u knjigu koju položi pred Jahvu. Najposlije Samuel otpusti sav narod da ide svaki svojoj kući.
26 And Saul also went to his home to Gib'ah; and there went with him a large crowd, whose heart God had touched.
Šaul se također vrati kući u Gibeu, a s njim pođoše junaci kojima je Bog taknuo srce.
27 But the worthless men said, In what can this help us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he acted as though he were deaf.
Ali neke ništarije rekoše: “Kako će nas taj spasiti?” I prezreše ga i ne donesoše mu nikakva dara.
