1 Samuel 9
1 There was a rich and influential man whose name was Kish. He belonged to the tribe descended from Benjamin. Kish was the son of Abiel and the grandson of Zeror. He was from the family of Becorath and from the clan of Aphiah.
Haddaba waxaa jiray nin reer Benyaamiin ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Qiish, oo wuxuu ahaa ina Abii'eel, ina Seroor, ina Bekoorad, ina Afiyax, oo reer Benyaamiin ah, kaasoo ahaa nin xoog leh oo geesi ah.
2 Kish had a son whose name was Saul. He was more handsome than any of the other Israeli men, and he was a head/foot taller than any of the other Israeli men.
Oo isna wuxuu lahaa wiil la yidhaahdo Saa'uul, oo ahaa nin dhallinyar oo wanaagsan. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna kuma jirin qof isaga ka wanaagsan. Garbihiisa iyo waxa ka sarreeyaaba way ka dheeraayeen dadka kale oo dhan.
3 One day, some of Kish’s female donkeys wandered off. So Kish told Saul, “Take one of my servants with you, and go and search for the donkeys!”
Qiish oo ahaa Saa'uul aabbihiis ayaa dameerihiisii ka lumeen. Markaasaa Qiish wuxuu wiilkiisii Saa'uul ku yidhi, midiidinnada midkood kaxee, oo kac, oo dameerihii doondoon.
4 So Saul did that. He took a servant, and they walked through the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and then they went through the areas named Shalishah and Shaalim, and then they went through all the area where the descendants of Benjamin lived, but they could not find the donkeys.
Markaasuu dhex maray dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dalkii reer Shaalishaah, laakiinse dameerihii ma ay helin. Markaasay haddana dhex mareen dalkii reer Shacaliim, oo halkaasna ma ay joogin. Oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dalkii reer Benyaamiin, laakiinse halkaasna kama ay helin.
5 Finally, they came to the area of Zuph. Then Saul said to the servant, “Let’s go back home. If we do not do that, my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”
Oo markay yimaadeen dalkii reer Suuf, Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii la socday ku yidhi, Ina keen aan noqonnee, waayo, waaba intaasoo aabbahay dameerihii ka hawo go'aa oo innaga inaga fikiraaye.
6 But the servant said, “I have another idea [IDM]. There is one of God’s prophets who lives in this town. People respect him very much, because everything he predicts comes true. Let’s go [talk] to him. Perhaps he can tell us where we can go [to find the donkeys].”
Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, magaaladan waxaa jooga nin Ilaah, oo isna waxaa weeyaan nin aad loo ciseeyo, oo wax alla wixii uu yidhaahdaaba run bay noqdaan, haddaba bal ina keen aynu u tagnee; mindhaa wax waa inooga sheegi karaa jidka aan mari doonno.
7 Saul replied to the servant, “If we go talk with him, [we should give a gift to him, but] what can we give to him? We have no more food in our sacks. Do we have anything else to give to him?”
Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii ku yidhi, War haddaynu u tagno maxaan u geeynaa ninka? Waayo, kibistii weelasheenna waa ka dhammaatay, oo ma hayno hadiyad aan u geeyno ninka Ilaah. Bal maxaynu haysannaa?
8 The servant replied, “Look [at this]! I have a small silver coin. I can give this to him, and then he will tell us where to go [to find the donkeys].”
Markaasaa midiidinkii mar kale u jawaabay Saa'uul, oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gacanta waxaan ku hayaa rubuc sheqel lacag ah, haddaba kaasaan ninka Ilaah siinayaa inuu jidkeenna inoo sheego aawadeed.
9 Saul said, “Okay, let’s go [talk to him.”] So they went to the town where the prophet lived. As they were going up the hill into the town, they met some young women who were coming out of the town to get some water [from a well]. One of them asked the women, “Is the seer in the town [today]?” [They said that because] previously, if people [in Israel] wanted a message from God, they would say, “Let’s go to the seer,” and people who now are called prophets were at that time called ‘those who see [(visions from God/all that God sees)].’
(Waagii hore reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda markii nin Ilaah wax weyddiisanayo, sidan buu odhan jiray, Ina keena aan wax arkaha u tagnee, waayo, haatan kan la yidhaahdo, Nebi, waagii hore waxaa la odhan jiray, Wax arke.)
Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii ku yidhi, Wax wanaagsan baad tidhi, haddaba ina keen aan tagnee. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay galeen magaaladii ninka Ilaah joogay.
Oo markay soo fuulayeen jiirtii magaalada waxay la kulmeen gabdho aroor u soo baxaya, kolkaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Wax arkihii halkan ma joogaa?
12 The women replied, “Yes, he is in the town. In fact, he is [walking on the road] ahead of you. He has just arrived in the town, because the people are going to offer a sacrifice on the altar where the people gather [to worship God].
Oo markaasay ugu jawaabeen, Wuu joogaa, oo wuu idinka horreeyaa, haddaba dhaqsada, waayo, isagu maantuu magaalada yimid, maxaa yeelay, dadku maantay allabari ku bixinayaan meesha sare.
13 If you go quickly, you will [have time to talk to him] before he goes there. The people who have been invited will not start eating until he arrives there and (blesses/asks God to bless) the sacrifice.”
Oo markaad magaalada gashaan, isla markaasba waad helaysaan isaga intuusan meesha sare tegin inuu wax ku cuno, waayo, dadku wax cuni maayaan ilaa uu yimaado, maxaa yeelay, isagaa allabariga ku duceeya; dabadeedna kuwii loo yeedhay way cunaan. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kaca, waayo, hadda waad helaysaan isagii.
14 So Saul and the servant entered the town. As they went through the gates, they saw Samuel as he was coming toward them, on the way to where people were going to offer sacrifices.
Markaasay magaaladii u kaceen, oo markay magaaladii soo galeen, bal eeg, waxaa iyagii ka soo hor baxay Samuu'eel oo u socda meeshii sare.
15 On the previous day, Yahweh had told Samuel,
Haddaba Rabbigu wax buu Samuu'eel u muujiyey maalin ka horraysay intaan Saa'uul iman, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
16 “At this time tomorrow, I will send to you a man from the land where the descendants of Benjamin live. Pour olive oil on his [head] to [indicate that he will] be the leader of my Israeli people. I have seen that my people are suffering [because the Philistine people are oppressing them], and I have heard my people as they have called out to me [for help]. The man on whose [head] you pour olive oil will rescue my people from the [MTY] Philistine people.”
Berri haddaa oo kale waxaan kuu soo dirayaa nin ka yimid dalka reer Benyaamiin, haddaba waa inaad isaga subagtaa inuu amiir u ahaado dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil, oo isna wuxuu dadkayga ka badbaadin doonaa gacanta reer Falastiin, waayo, anigu waxaan soo dhugtay dadkayga, maxaa yeelay, oohintoodii baa i soo gaadhay.
17 When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh said to him, “This is the man I told you about yesterday! He is the one who will rule my people!”
Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu arkay Saa'uul, Rabbiguna wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waa kaas ninkii aan kuu sheegay! Kan qudhiisa ayaa dadkayga u talin doona.
18 Saul saw Samuel as he was sitting at the town gateway [but he did not know that it was Samuel]. He went over to him and asked him, “Can you tell me, where is the house of the man who sees [(visions from God/all that God sees)]?”
Markaasaa Saa'uul u soo dhowaaday Samuu'eel oo iridda jooga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg wax arkaha gurigiisu meeshuu yahay.
19 Samuel replied, “I am that man. Go ahead of me with your servant to the place where the people make sacrifices. Both of you will eat with me today. Tomorrow morning I will tell you what you are wanting to know, and then I will send you home.
Oo Samuu'eelna wuu u jawaabay Saa'uul oo ku yidhi, Wax arkuhu waa aniga, meesha sare hortay taga, waayo, idinku maanta anigaad wax ila cunaysaan, oo subaxdiina waan ku dirayaa, oo kulli waxa qalbigaaga ku jira oo dhanna waan kuu sheegi doonaa.
20 Also, do not worry any more about those donkeys that wandered away three days ago. (Someone has found them/They have been found). But [what you need to know is that] it is you and your family that all the Israeli people are wanting!” [RHQ]
Oo dameerahaaga saddex maalmood hortood kaa lumayna ha ka fikirin innaba, waayo, waa la helay. Bal yaa reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda laga wada jeclaadaa? Sow ma aha adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhanba?
21 Saul replied, “I am from the tribe of Benjamin [RHQ]. That is the smallest tribe in Israel [RHQ]! And my family is the least important family in our tribe! So why are you talking to me like this, [about the Israeli people wanting me and my family]?”
Markaasaa Saa'uul u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, War sow anigu ma ahi reer Benyaamiin oo u wada yar qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil? Oo weliba jilibkaygu sow ugama sii yara qabiilka reer Benyaamiin jilibyadiisa? Haddaba maxaad sidan iigula hadlaysaa?
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and the servant into the big dining room, and told them to sit at the head [of the table, indicating that he was] honoring them more than he was honoring the 30 people who had been invited.
Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu kexeeyey Saa'uul iyo midiidinkiisii, oo wuxuu keenay qolkii martida, wuxuuna fadhiisiyey kuwii loo yeedhay dhexdooda meeshii ugu wacnayd, oo kuwii loo yeedhayna waxay ahaayeen in soddon qof ku dhow.
23 Then Samuel told the cook, “Bring to me the special piece [of meat] that I told you to set aside.”
Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu cuntokariyihii ku yidhi, Qaybtii aan kuu dhiibay ee aan kugu idhi, Adigu ii hay, bal la kaalay.
24 So the cook brought the leg and the meat that was on it, and set it in front of Saul, [even though those portions were for only the priest to eat]. Samuel said to Saul, “Start eating it. I told the cook to save this for you, so that you could eat it at this time, when all these people whom I invited are here.” So Saul and Samuel ate together.
Markaasaa cuntokariyihii wuxuu soo qaaday garabkii iyo wixii ku yiilba, oo wuxuu hor dhigay Saa'uul. Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg wixii laguu kaydiyey, haddaba hortaada dhigo oo cun, waayo, waa laguu hayay ilaa wakhtigii la qawimay, oo anigu waxaan idhi, Dadka waan marti qaaday. Markaasuu Saa'uul maalintaas wax la cunay Samuu'eel.
25 After they finished eating, they returned to the town. Then Samuel took Saul up to the [flat] roof [of his house], and fixed a bed for him.
Oo markay ka soo degeen meeshii sare, oo ay magaaladii soo galeen, wuxuu Saa'uul kula sheekaystay guri dushiis.
26 As the sun was rising the next morning, Samuel called up to Saul, “Get up! It is time for me to send you on the road back home.” So Saul got up, and [later] Samuel and Saul left the house together.
Oo waxay kaceen aroor hore, oo markii waagu soo kaahay, Samuu'eel ayaa Saa'uul gurigii dushiisa uga yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Kac aan ku diree. Markaasaa Saa'uul kacay, oo isaga iyo Samuu'eelba dibadday u baxeen.
27 When they got to the edge of the town, Samuel told Saul to send his servant ahead. After the servant left, Samuel said to Saul, “Stay here for a few minutes, in order that I can give you a message I received from God.”
Oo markay ka sii dhaadhacayeen magaalada darafkeeda, Samuu'eel ayaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Midiidinka u sheeg inuu inaga sii hor maro, (markaasuu isna ka hor maray, ) laakiinse adigu istaag haatan, aan erayga Ilaah ku maqashiiyee.
