1 Samuel 9
1 And he was a man (from Benjamin *Q(K)*) and name his [was] Kish [the] son of Abiel [the] son of Zeror [the] son of Becorath [the] son of Aphiah a son of a man a Jaminite a mighty [man] of wealth.
Ada seorang yang kaya dan berwibawa dari suku Benyamin, namanya Kish. Ia anggota keluarga Bekhorat, cabang dari marga Afiah. Ayahnya Abiel dan neneknya Zeror.
2 And to him he belonged a son and name his [was] Saul a young man and good and not a man from [the] people of Israel [was] good more than him from shoulder his and up-wards [he was] tall more than all the people.
Kish mempunyai anak laki-laki, namanya Saul, seorang pemuda yang tampan dan tegap. Tak seorang pun di seluruh Israel yang lebih tampan dari dia. Badannya juga lebih tinggi; rata-rata tinggi orang Israel hanya sampai pundaknya.
3 And they were lost the she-asses of Kish [the] father of Saul and he said Kish to Saul son his take please with you one from the young men and arise go seek the she-asses.
Pada suatu hari beberapa ekor keledai milik Kish hilang. Sebab itu berkatalah Kish kepada Saul, "Bawalah salah seorang pelayan, dan carilah keledai-keledai itu."
4 And he passed in [the] hill country of Ephraim and he passed in [the] land of Shalisha and not they found [them] and they passed in [the] land of Shaalim and there not and he passed in [the] land of [the] Jaminite[s] and not they found [them].
Lalu Saul dan pelayannya menjelajahi daerah pegunungan Efraim dan tanah Salisa, tetapi tidak menemukan binatang-binatang itu. Kemudian mereka berjalan terus ke tanah Sahalim, tetapi keledai-keledai itu tidak ada juga di situ. Mereka mencarinya pula di wilayah Benyamin, tetapi sia-sia saja.
5 They they came in [the] land of Zuph and Saul he said to servant his who [was] with him come! so let us turn back lest he should cease father my from the she-asses and he will be anxious to us.
Ketika mereka tiba di tanah Zuf, Saul berkata kepada pelayannya, "Mari kita pulang saja, jangan-jangan ayah lebih cemas memikirkan kita daripada keledai-keledai itu."
6 And he said to him here! please a man of God [is] in the city this and the man [is] honored all that he speaks actually it comes now let us go there perhaps he will tell to us journey our which we have walked on it.
Pelayan itu menjawab, "Tunggu dulu! Di kota ini ada seorang hamba Allah. Dia sangat dihormati orang karena apa yang dikatakannya selalu benar-benar terjadi. Mari kita pergi kepadanya, barangkali dia dapat memberitahu di mana keledai-keledai itu."
7 And he said Saul to servant his and here! we will go and what? will we bring to the man for the bread it has been used up from bags our and [is] a gift there not to bring to [the] man of God what? [is] with us.
Kata Saul, "Jika kita pergi menemui dia, apakah yang akan kita berikan kepadanya? Bekal yang kita bawa sudah habis, dan kita tidak punya apa-apa untuk diberikan kepada hamba Allah itu, bukan?"
8 And he repeated the servant to answer Saul and he said here! [is] found in hand my a fourth part of a shekel of silver and I will give [it] to [the] man of God and he will tell to us journey our.
Pelayan itu menjawab, "Kebetulan masih ada padaku sekeping uang perak. Itu akan kuberikan kepada hamba Allah itu supaya ia mau memberitahu kepada kita di mana keledai-keledai itu."
9 Before - in Israel thus he said the man when went he to consult God come so let us go to the seer for to the prophet this day it was called before the seer.
"Baiklah!" jawab Saul. "Mari kita pergi." Lalu pergilah mereka ke kota, ke tempat hamba Allah itu. Ketika mereka mendaki bukit yang menuju ke kota itu, bertemulah mereka dengan beberapa gadis yang hendak menimba air di sumur. Lalu mereka bertanya kepada gadis-gadis itu, "Apakah petenung ada di kota?" (Pada zaman itu seorang nabi disebut petenung, jadi bilamana seorang ingin menanyakan sesuatu kepada Allah, dia berkata begini, "Marilah kita pergi kepada petenung.")
10 And he said Saul to servant his [is] good word your come! - let us go and they went to the city where [was] there [the] man of God.
11 They [were] going up on [the] ascent of the city and they they found young women coming out to draw water and they said to them ¿ [is] there in this [place] the seer.
12 And they answered them and they said there is there! before you hurry - now for this day he has come to the city for a sacrifice this day [belongs] to the people at the high place.
"Ya, ada," jawab gadis-gadis itu, "baru saja ia berjalan mendahului kalian. Jika kalian cepat, mungkin kalian dapat menyusulnya. Ia baru datang ke kota karena hari ini di atas mezbah di bukit ada persembahan kurban untuk rakyat. Para undangan tidak akan makan sebelum ia datang, karena ia harus memberkati kurban itu dahulu. Jika kalian pergi sekarang, kalian akan menjumpainya sebelum ia mendaki bukit untuk makan."
13 When come you the city thus you will find! him before he will go up the high place towards to eat for not it will eat the people until comes he for he he will bless the sacrifice after thus they will eat those [who] were invited and now go up for him as the day you will find! him.
14 And they went up the city they [were] coming in [the] midst of the city and there! Samuel [was] coming out to meet them to go up the high place.
Jadi Saul dan pelayannya berjalan ke kota, dan ketika mereka masuk pintu gerbang, mereka berpapasan dengan Samuel yang sedang berjalan menuju tempat ibadat di bukit.
15 And Yahweh he had uncovered [the] ear of Samuel a day one before came Saul saying.
Adapun sehari sebelum itu TUHAN memberi pesan kepada Samuel begini,
16 About this time - tomorrow I will send to you a man from [the] land of Benjamin and you will anoint him to ruler over people my Israel and he will deliver people my from [the] hand of [the] Philistines for I have seen people my for it has come cry of distress its to me.
"Besok pagi kira-kira waktu begini, Aku akan menyuruh seorang dari suku Benyamin menemuimu. Lantiklah dia dengan upacara peminyakan untuk menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel. Ia akan menyelamatkan umat-Ku dari orang Filistin. Aku telah melihat penderitaan umat-Ku dan mendengar tangisan mereka meminta tolong."
17 And Samuel he saw Saul and Yahweh he answered him here! the man whom I spoke to you this [one] he will rule over people my.
Ketika Samuel melihat Saul, TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Inilah orang yang Kusebut kepadamu itu. Dia akan memerintah umat-Ku."
18 And he approached Saul Samuel in [the] middle of the gate and he said tell! please to me where? this [is] [the] house of the seer.
Sementara itu Saul mendekati Samuel di dekat pintu gerbang, dan bertanya, "Maaf, Pak, di manakah rumah petenung itu?"
19 And he answered Samuel Saul and he said I [am] the seer go up before me the high place and you will eat with me this day and I will send away you in the morning and all that [is] in heart your I will tell to you.
Samuel menjawab, "Aku petenung itu. Pergilah mendahuluiku ke tempat ibadat di bukit, karena pada hari ini kamu akan makan bersamaku. Besok pagi-pagi segala pertanyaanmu akan kujawab, setelah itu bolehlah kamu pulang.
20 And to the she-asses which were lost of you this day [the] three the days may not you set heart your to them for they have been found and [belongs] to whom? every desirable thing of Israel ¿ not to you and to all [the] house of father your.
Tentang keledai-keledaimu yang hilang tiga hari yang lalu itu, jangan khawatir, karena sudah ditemukan. Lagipula, yang paling berharga di seluruh Israel akan diberikan kepadamu dan keluarga ayahmu."
21 And he answered Saul and he said ¿ not a Ben-jaminite [am] I from [the] small of [the] tribes of Israel and [is] clan? my the insignificant of all [the] clans of [the] tribes of Benjamin and why? have you spoken to me according to the manner this.
Saul menjawab, "Aku ini dari suku Benyamin, suku yang paling kecil di Israel, dan lagi keluargaku yang paling tidak berarti dalam suku itu. Jadi mengapa Bapak berkata begitu kepadaku?"
22 And he took Samuel Saul and servant his and he brought them [the] room towards and he gave to them a place at [the] head of those [who] were invited and they [were] about thirty man.
Kemudian Samuel mengajak Saul dan pelayannya masuk ke dalam ruangan yang besar, lalu ia memberi tempat yang utama kepada mereka di depan para undangan yang jumlahnya kira-kira tiga puluh orang.
23 And he said Samuel to the cook give! the portion which I gave to you which I said to you put it with you.
Selanjutnya Samuel berkata kepada juru masak, "Hidangkanlah daging yang tadi kutitipkan kepadamu itu."
24 And he lifted up the cook the thigh and the on it and he put [it] - before Saul and he said here! the [part which] remains set [it] before you eat [it] for to the appointed time [it was] kept for you saying the people - I have invited and he ate Saul with Samuel on the day that.
Kemudian juru masak itu mengambil bagian pilihan dari daging paha, lalu dihidangkannya di depan Saul. Samuel berkata, "Ini bagian yang kusisihkan untukmu supaya dapat kaumakan pada saat ini bersama dengan tamu-tamu lain. Silakan makan." Lalu makanlah Saul. Jadi pada hari itu Saul makan bersama dengan Samuel.
25 And they went down from the high place the city and he spoke with Saul on the roof.
Setelah itu mereka turun dari tempat ibadat itu dan masuk ke kota. Saul diberi tempat tidur di atas rumah,
26 And they rose early and it was when came up the dawn and he called Samuel to Saul (the roof towards *Q(K)*) saying arise! so I may send away you and he arose Saul and they went out [the] two of them he and Samuel the outside towards.
lalu ia tidur. Ketika fajar menyingsing, Samuel memanggil Saul yang ada di atap itu, katanya, "Bangunlah, mari kuantar kau pergi." Saul bangun, lalu berangkat bersama-sama Samuel.
27 They [were] going down at [the] edge of the city and Samuel he said to Saul say to the servant so he may pass on before us and he passed on and you remain as the day so I may make hear you [the] word of God.
Ketika mereka sampai di pinggir kota, berkatalah Samuel kepada Saul, "Suruhlah pelayan itu berjalan mendahului kita." Lalu pergilah pelayan itu, dan Samuel berkata lagi, "Berhentilah di sini sebentar, aku akan memberitahukan pesan Allah kepadamu."
