< 1 Samuel 10 >

1 And he took Samuel [the] flask of oil and he poured [it] on head his and he kissed him and he said ¿ In-deed he has anointed you Yahweh (to ruler over people his over of Israel and you she will retain among a people Yahweh and you you deliver him from [the] hand of enemies its from round about and this of you [will be] the sign he has anointed you Yahweh *X*) over inheritance his to ruler.
Afei, Samuel faa ngotoa a ngo wɔ mu hwie guu Saulo tirim, fee nʼafono ho, kaa sɛ, “Mereyɛ yei de akyerɛ sɛ Awurade apa wo sɛ ɔkannifoɔ ama ne ɔman Israel.
2 When going you this day from with me and you will find two men near [the] tomb of Rachel in [the] territory of Benjamin at Zelzah and they will say to you they have been found the she-asses which you went to seek and there! he has abandoned father your [the] matter of the she-asses and he is anxious to you saying what? will I do for son my.
Sɛ wogya me ha ɛnnɛ na worekɔ a, wobɛhyia mmarima baanu wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Rahel ɛda a ɛwɔ Selsa a ɛbɛn Benyamin hyeɛ no. Wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Mfunumu a motuu ho anammɔn kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn no, wɔahu wɔn. Enti, seesei, wʼagya agyae wɔn ho dwene, na mmom, mo ho na ɔredwene. Ɔtaa bisa sɛ, “Obi ahunu me babarima no anaa?”’
3 And you will pass on from there and beyond and you will come to [the] great tree of Tabor and they will find you there three men going up to God Beth-el one [will be] carrying - three kids and one [will be] carrying three round loaves of bread and one [will be] carrying a skin of wine.
“Moduru dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Tabor ho a mobɛhyia mmarima baasa bi a wɔfiri Bet-El rekɔ akɔsom Onyankopɔn. Ɔbaako so mmirekyie mma mmiɛnsa, ɔbaako nso so burodo mua mmiɛnsa ɛnna deɛ ɔka ho no nso so nsã aboa nwoma kotokuo baako.
4 And they will ask of you to welfare and they will give to you two bread[s] and you will take [them] from hand their.
Wɔbɛkyea mo, na wɔama mo burodo mua mmienu, na ɛsɛ sɛ mogye firi wɔn nkyɛn.
5 After thus you will come Gibeah of God where [are] there [the] garrisons of [the] Philistines and it will be when coming you there the city and you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place and [will be] before them lyre and tambourine and flute and harp and they [will be] prophesying.
“Na sɛ moduru Onyankopɔn kokoɔ a ɛwɔ Gibea a Filistifoɔ akodɔm abɔ kyɛmpem wɔ hɔ no a, mobɛhunu adiyifoɔ asafodɔm sɛ wɔfiri afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ bepɔ no so hɔ resiane ba. Ɛhɔ na mobɛhyia adiyifoɔ asafo a wɔresiane firi bepɔ no so hɔ reba na bɛnta ne mpintin ne mmɛn ne nsankuo di wɔn anim a wɔrehyɛ nkɔm.
6 And it will rush on you [the] spirit of Yahweh and you will prophesy with them and you will be changed into a man another.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade Honhom bɛba wo so wɔ tumi mu, na wo ne wɔn bɛhyɛ nkɔm. Wobɛsakyera ayɛ onipa foforɔ.
7 And it will be that (they will come *Q(k)*) the signs these to you do for yourself [that] which it will find hand your for God [is] with you.
Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ yi akyi no, yɛ deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ biara, na Onyankopɔn bɛka wo ho.
8 And you will go down before me Gilgal and there! I [am] about to come down to you to offer up burnt offerings to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings seven days may you wait until come I to you and I will make known to you [that] which you will do.
Afei, siane di mʼanim kɔ Gilgal na kɔtwɛn me wɔ hɔ nnanson. Mɛba abɛka wo ho wɔ hɔ, na yɛabɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ. Na sɛ meduru hɔ a, mɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ bio.”
9 And it was when turned he shoulder his to go from with Samuel and he changed for him God a heart another and they came all the signs these on the day that.
Saulo danee ne ho pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ara pɛ, Onyankopɔn sesaa nʼakoma, na Samuel nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nyinaa baa mu da no.
10 And they came there Gibeah towards and there! a company of prophets to meet him and it rushed on him [the] spirit of God and he prophesied in midst of them.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo ne ne ɔsomfoɔ no duruu Gibea no, wɔhunuu sɛ adiyifoɔ no reba. Afei Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso hyɛɛ aseɛ hyɛɛ nkɔm.
11 And it was every [one who] knew him from yesterday three days ago and they saw and there! with prophets [he is] prophesying and it said the people each to neighbor his what? this has it happened to [the] son of Kish ¿ also [is] Saul among the prophets.
Ɛberɛ a ne nnamfonom tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔteaam sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na moreka yi? Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kis babarima tumi bɛyɛɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”
12 And he answered a man from there and he said and who? [is] father their there-fore it became a proverb ¿ also [is] Saul among the prophets.
Nanso, ɛhɔni bi kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ nʼagya te deɛ, ɛmfa ho; obiara tumi bɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni.” Enti, ɛbɛyɛɛ sɛnnahɔ sɛ, “Enti, Saulo nso abɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛni?”
13 And he finished from prophesying and he came the high place.
Saulo gyaee nkɔmhyɛ no, ɔforo bepɔ no kɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
14 And he said [the] uncle of Saul to him and to servant his where? did you go and he said to seek the she-asses and we saw that there not and we went to Samuel.
Ɔduruu hɔ no, Saulo wɔfa bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhefa na wokɔeɛ a dadaada yɛnhunuu wo yi?” Saulo buaa sɛ, “Yɛkɔhwehwɛɛ mfunumu a wɔayera no, nanso yɛanhunu wɔn. Ɛno enti, yɛkɔɔ odiyifoɔ Samuel nkyɛn kɔbisaa no baabi a wɔwɔ.”
15 And he said [the] uncle of Saul tell! please to me what? did he say to you Samuel.
Ne wɔfa no bisaa sɛ, “Saa? Na asɛm bɛn na ɔkaeɛ?”
16 And he said Saul to uncle his certainly he told to us that they had been found the she-asses and [the] word of the kingship not he told to him which he had said Samuel.
Saulo buaa sɛ, “Ɔkaa sɛ, wɔahunu mfunumu no.” Nanso, Saulo anka ankyerɛ ne wɔfa no sɛ Samuel asra no ngo sɛ wɔbɛsi no ɔhene.
17 And he called together Samuel the people to Yahweh Mizpah.
Samuel frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa baa Awurade anim wɔ Mispa,
18 And he said - to [the] people of Israel. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I I brought up Israel from Egypt and I delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.
na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie, ‘Mede Israelfoɔ firi Misraim baeɛ, na megyee mo firii Misraim tumi ne wɔn a wɔdi mo nya no nyinaa ase.’
19 And you this day you have rejected God your who he [is] a deliverer of you from all calamities your and troubles your and you have said to him for a king you will appoint over us and therefore present yourselves before Yahweh to tribes your and to families your.
Nanso, ɛwom sɛ mayɛ bebree ama mo deɛ, nso moapo me aka sɛ, ‘Yɛpɛ ɔhene.’ Enti, afei, momfa mo mmusuakuo ne mo mmusua mmra Awurade anim.”
20 And he brought near Samuel all [the] tribes of Israel and it was taken by lot [the] tribe of Benjamin.
Samuel maa Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa baeɛ no, Benyamin abusuakuo na wɔyii wɔn.
21 And he brought near [the] tribe of Benjamin (to families its *Q(K)*) and it was taken by lot [the] clan of Matri and he was taken by lot Saul [the] son of Kish and they sought him and not he was found.
Afei ɔmaa Benyamin abusuakuo no mu mmusua nyinaa baa Awurade anim na wɔyii Matri abusua, ɛnna awieeɛ no wɔyii Kis babarima Saulo. Na wɔhwehwɛɛ no no, na wɔnhunu baabi a wafa.
22 And they enquired again by Yahweh ¿ has he come yet here [the] man. And he said Yahweh here! he [is] hiding himself into the baggage.
Enti, wɔbisaa Awurade sɛ, “Na ɔwɔ he?” Na Awurade buaa sɛ, “Aane, ɔde ne ho ahinta nneɛma mu.”
23 And they ran and they took him from there and he presented himself in among the people and he was tall more than all the people from shoulder his and up-wards.
Enti, wɔtuu mmirika kɔfaa no baeɛ. Na ɔbɛgyinaa nnipa no mu no na ne tenten bunkam fa obiara so.
24 And he said Samuel to all the people ¿ do you see [the one] whom he has chosen him Yahweh for there not [is] like him among all the people and they shouted all the people and they said may he live the king.
Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Ɔbarima a Awurade apa no sɛ mo ɔhene nie. Obiara nni Israel ha a ɔne no sɛ.” Afei, nnipa no nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
25 And he spoke Samuel to the people [the] right[s] of the kingship and he wrote in the book and he set [it] before Yahweh and he sent away Samuel all the people each man to own house his.
Samuel kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara a ɛbata saa ahennie no ho kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔtwerɛ guu nwoma mmobɔeɛ so, de kɔtoo Awurade anim. Afei, Samuel gyaa ɔmanfoɔ no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ wɔn afie.
26 And also Saul he went to own house his Gibeah towards and they went with him the army which he had touched God heart their.
Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fie wɔ Gibea na nnipakuo bi a Onyankopɔn aka wɔn akoma de wɔn ho bɛbɔɔ no.
27 And sons of worthlessness they said what? will he deliver us this one and they despised him and not they brought to him a gift and he was like [one who] kept silent.
Nanso, amumuyɛfoɔ bi kaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi agye yɛn?” Wɔsopaa no a wɔammrɛ no akyɛdeɛ biara. Nanso Saulo ammua wɔn.
