1 Samuel 10
1 Forsothe Samuel took `a vessel of oyle, and schedde out on the heed of Saul, and kisside hym, and seide, Lo! the Lord hath anoyntid thee in to prince on hys eritage; and thou schalt delyuere his puple fro the hond of his enemyes, that ben `in his cumpas. And this a tokene to thee, that the Lord hath anoyntid thee in to prince;
撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在扫罗的头上，与他亲嘴，说：“这不是耶和华膏你作他产业的君吗？
2 whanne thou schalt go fro me to day, thou schalt fynde twei men bisidis `the sepulcre of Rachel, in `the endis of Beniamyn, in myddai, clensynge grete dichis; and thei schulen seie to thee, The femel assis ben foundun, whiche thou yedist to seke; and while the assis ben lefte, thi fadir is bisy for you, and seith, What schal Y do of my sone?
你今日与我离别之后，在便雅悯境内的泄撒，靠近拉结的坟墓，要遇见两个人。他们必对你说：‘你去找的那几头驴已经找着了。现在你父亲不为驴挂心，反为你担忧，说：我为儿子怎么才好呢？’
3 And whanne thou hast go fro thennus, and hast passid ferthere, and hast come to the ook of Tabor, thre men, stiynge to God in to Bethel, schulen fynde thee there, o man berynge thre kydis, and another man berynge thre kakis of breed, and an other man berynge a galoun of wyn.
你从那里往前行，到了他泊的橡树那里，必遇见三个往伯特利去拜 神的人：一个带着三只山羊羔，一个带着三个饼，一个带着一皮袋酒。
4 And whanne thei han gret thee, thei schulen yyue to thee twei loues, and thou schalt take of `the hond of hem.
他们必问你安，给你两个饼，你就从他们手中接过来。
5 After these thingis thou schalt come in to the `hil of the Lord, where is the stondyng, that is, forselet, of Filisteis; and whanne thou schalt entre in to the citee, there thou schalt haue metynge thee the flok of prophetis comynge doun fro the hiy place, and a sautree, and tympane, and pipe, and harpe bifor hem, and hem prophesiynge.
此后你到 神的山，在那里有非利士人的防兵。你到了城的时候，必遇见一班先知从邱坛下来，前面有鼓瑟的、击鼓的、吹笛的、弹琴的，他们都受感说话。
6 And the Spirit of the Lord schal skippe in to thee, and thou schalt prophecie with hem, and thou schalt be chaungid in to another man.
耶和华的灵必大大感动你，你就与他们一同受感说话；你要变为新人。
7 Therfor whanne alle thesse signes bifallen to thee, do thou, what euer thingis thin hond fyndith, `that is, dispose thee to regne comelili and myytily, for the Lord is with thee.
这兆头临到你，你就可以趁时而做，因为 神与你同在。
8 And thou schalt go doun bifor me in to Galgala; for Y schal come doun to thee, that thou offre an offryng, and offre pesible sacrifices; bi seuene daies thou schalt abide, til I come to thee, and shewe to thee what thou schal do.
你当在我以先下到吉甲，我也必下到那里献燔祭和平安祭。你要等候七日，等我到了那里，指示你当行的事。”
9 Therfor whanne Saul hadde turnede awei his schuldre to go fro Samuel, God chaungide another herte to Saul, and alle these signes camen in that dai.
扫罗转身离别撒母耳， 神就赐他一个新心。当日这一切兆头都应验了。
10 And thei camen to the forseid hil, and lo! a cumpeny of prophetis metynge hym; and the Spirit of the Lord `scippide on hym, and he propheciede in the myddis of hem.
扫罗到了那山，有一班先知遇见他， 神的灵大大感动他，他就在先知中受感说话。
11 Sotheli alle men, that knewen hym yisterdai and the thrid dai ago, sien that he was with the prophetis, and that he prophesiede, and thei seiden togidere, What thing bifelde to the sone of Cys? Whether also Saul is among prophetis?
素来认识扫罗的，看见他和先知一同受感说话，就彼此说：“基士的儿子遇见什么了？扫罗也列在先知中吗？”
12 And o man answeride to another man, and seide, And who is `his fadir? Therfor it was turned in to a prouerbe, Whether also Saul is among prophetis?
那地方有一个人说：“这些人的父亲是谁呢？”此后有句俗语说：“扫罗也列在先知中吗？”
13 Forsothe Saul ceside to prophesie, and he cam to an hiy place.
扫罗受感说话已毕，就上邱坛去了。
14 And the brothir of `the fadir of Saul seide to hym, and to his child, Whidur yeden ye? And thei answeriden, To seke the femal assis; and whanne we founden `not thoo, we camen to Samuel.
扫罗的叔叔问扫罗和他仆人说：“你们往哪里去了？”回答说：“找驴去了。我们见没有驴，就到了撒母耳那里。”
15 And the brother of his fadir seide to hym, Schewe thou to me what Samuel seide to thee.
扫罗的叔叔说：“请将撒母耳向你们所说的话告诉我。”
16 And Saul seide to `the brother of hys fadir, He schewide to vs, that the femal assis weren foundun. Sotheli Saul schewide not to hym of the word of rewme, `which word Samuel spak to hym.
扫罗对他叔叔说：“他明明地告诉我们驴已经找着了。”至于撒母耳所说的国事，扫罗却没有告诉叔叔。
17 And Samuel clepide togidere the puple to the Lord in Masphat;
撒母耳将百姓招聚到米斯巴耶和华那里，
18 and he seide to the sones of Israel, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y ledde Israel out of the lond of Egipt, and Y delyuerede you fro the hond of Egipcians, and fro the hond of alle kyngis that turmentiden you.
对他们说：“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：‘我领你们以色列人出埃及，救你们脱离埃及人的手，又救你们脱离欺压你们各国之人的手。’
19 Forsothe to day ye han caste awei youre Lord God, which aloone sauyde you fro alle youre yuelis and tribulaciouns; and ye seiden, Nay, but ordeyne thou a kyng on vs. Now therfor stonde ye bifor the Lord bi youre lynagis, and bi meynees.
你们今日却厌弃了救你们脱离一切灾难的 神，说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按着支派、宗族都站在耶和华面前。”
20 And Samuel settide to gidere alle the lynages of Israel, and lot felde on the lynage of Beniamyn.
于是，撒母耳使以色列众支派近前来掣签，就掣出便雅悯支派来；
21 And he settide togidere the lynage of Beniamyn, and the meynees therof; and lot felde on the meynees of Mathri, and it cam `til to Saul, the son of Cys. Therfor thei souyten hym, and he was not foundun there.
又使便雅悯支派按着宗族近前来，就掣出玛特利族，从其中又掣出基士的儿子扫罗。众人寻找他却寻不着，
22 And aftir these thingis thei counseliden the Lord, whether Saul schulde come thidur. And the Lord answeride, Lo! he is hid at hoom.
就问耶和华说：“那人到这里来了没有？”耶和华说：“他藏在器具中了。”
23 Therfor thei runnen, and token hym fro thennus; and he stood in the myddil of the puple, and was hiyere than al the puple fro the schulder and `aboue.
众人就跑去从那里领出他来。他站在百姓中间，身体比众民高过一头。
24 And Samuel seide to al the puple, Certis ye seen whom the Lord hath chose; for noon in al the puple is lijk hym. And al the puple cryede, and seide, Lyue the kyng!
撒母耳对众民说：“你们看耶和华所拣选的人，众民中有可比他的吗？”众民就大声欢呼说：“愿王万岁！”
25 Forsothe Samuel spak to the puple the lawe of rewme, and wroot in a book, and puttide vp bifor the Lord. And Samuel dilyuerede al the puple, ech man in to his hows;
撒母耳将国法对百姓说明，又记在书上，放在耶和华面前，然后遣散众民，各回各家去了。
26 but also Saul yede in to his hous in to Gabaath; and the part of the oost yede with hym, whose hertis God hadde touchid.
扫罗往基比亚回家去，有 神感动的一群人跟随他。
27 Forsothe the sones of Belyal seiden, Whether this man may saue vs? And thei dispisiden hym, and brouyten not yiftis, `that is, preisyngis, to him; forsothe he `dissymelide hym to here.
但有些匪徒说：“这人怎能救我们呢？”就藐视他，没有送他礼物；扫罗却不理会。
