1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
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 you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys 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 you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container 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 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
Oni će te pozdraviti i dat će ti dva kruha, a ti ih primi iz njihove ruke.
5 “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; 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 Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned 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 Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
A kad ti se ispune ti znakovi, onda čini kako ti se prilika pruži jer je Bog s tobom.
8 “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to 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 It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.
Čim je Šaul okrenuo leđa da ode od Samuela, Bog mu promijeni srce i svi se oni znakovi ispuniše u onaj dan.
10 When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied amongst 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 When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also amongst 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 One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also amongst 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 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
Kad je prošao njegov zanos, Šaul se vrati kući.
14 Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came 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 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
A njegov ga stric zamoli: “Pripovijedaj mi što vam je rekao Samuel.”
16 Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.
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 Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
Poslije toga Samuel sazva narod pred Jahvu u Mispu
18 and he said to the children of Israel, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I 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 But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by 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 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
Potom Samuel privede sva plemena Izraelova i ždrijeb pade na pleme Benjaminovo.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, 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 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” The LORD answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself amongst the baggage.”
Tada još jednom upitaše Jahvu: “Je li taj čovjek došao ovamo?” A Jahve odgovori: “Eno ga, sakrio se za tovarom.”
23 They ran and got him there. When he stood amongst the people, 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 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him amongst all the people?” 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 Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, 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 Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
Šaul se također vrati kući u Gibeu, a s njim pođoše junaci kojima je Bog taknuo srce.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.
Ali neke ništarije rekoše: “Kako će nas taj spasiti?” I prezreše ga i ne donesoše mu nikakva dara.
