1 Samuel 10
1 And Samuel taketh the vial of the oil, and poureth on his head, and kisseth him, and saith, 'Is it not because Jehovah hath appointed thee over His inheritance for leader?
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 In thy going to-day from me — then thou hast found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said unto thee, The asses have been found which thou hast gone to seek; and lo, thy father hath left the matter of the asses, and hath sorrowed for you, saying, What do 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 'And thou hast passed on thence, and beyond, and hast come in unto the oak of Tabor, and found thee there have three men going up unto God to Beth-El, one bearing three kids, and one bearing three cakes of bread, and one bearing a bottle 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 and they have asked of thee of welfare, and given to thee two loaves, and thou hast received from their hand.
Oni će te pozdraviti i dat će ti dva kruha, a ti ih primi iz njihove ruke.
5 'Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are 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 and prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to 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 and it hath been, when these signs come to thee — do for thyself as thy hand findeth, for God [is] with thee.
A kad ti se ispune ti znakovi, onda čini kako ti se prilika pruži jer je Bog s tobom.
8 'And thou hast gone down before me to Gilgal, and lo, I am going down unto thee, to cause to ascend burnt-offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days thou dost wait till my coming in unto thee, and I have made known to thee that which thou dost 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 And it hath been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turneth to him another heart, and all these signs come on 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 and they come in thither to the height, and lo, a band of prophets — to meet him, and prosper over him doth the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth in their midst.
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 And it cometh to pass, all his acquaintance heretofore, see, and lo, with prophets he hath prophesied, and the people say one unto another, 'What [is] this hath happened to the son of Kish? is Saul also among 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 And a man thence answereth and saith, 'And who [is] their father?' therefore it hath been for a simile, 'Is Saul also among 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 And he ceaseth from prophesying, and cometh in to the high place,
Kad je prošao njegov zanos, Šaul se vrati kući.
14 and the uncle of Saul saith unto him, and unto his young man, 'Whither went ye?' and he saith, 'To seek the asses; and we see that they are not, and we come in unto 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 And the uncle of Saul saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, what Samuel said to you?'
A njegov ga stric zamoli: “Pripovijedaj mi što vam je rekao Samuel.”
16 And Saul saith unto his uncle, 'He certainly declared to us that the asses were found;' and of the matter of the kingdom he hath not declared to him that which Samuel said.
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 And Samuel calleth the people unto Jehovah to Mizpeh,
Poslije toga Samuel sazva narod pred Jahvu u Mispu
18 and saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms who are oppressing 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 and ye to-day have rejected your God, who [is] Himself your saviour out of all your evils and your distresses, and ye say, 'Nay, but — a king thou dost set over us; and now, station yourselves before Jehovah, 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 And Samuel bringeth near the whole tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,
Potom Samuel privede sva plemena Izraelova i ždrijeb pade na pleme Benjaminovo.
21 and he bringeth near the tribe of Benjamin by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he hath not been 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 And they ask again at Jehovah, 'Hath the man yet come hither?' and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, he hath been hidden near the vessels.'
Tada još jednom upitaše Jahvu: “Je li taj čovjek došao ovamo?” A Jahve odgovori: “Eno ga, sakrio se za tovarom.”
23 And they run and bring him thence, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder and upward.
Otrčaše i dovedoše ga odande; a kad je stao usred naroda, bijaše glavom i ramenima viši od sviju.
24 And Samuel saith unto all the people, 'Have ye seen him on whom Jehovah hath fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shout, and say, 'Let the king live!'
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 And Samuel speaketh unto the people the right of the kingdom, and writeth in a book, and placeth before Jehovah; and Samuel sendeth all the people away, each 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 And also Saul hath gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force go with him whose heart God hath touched;
Šaul se također vrati kući u Gibeu, a s njim pođoše junaci kojima je Bog taknuo srce.
27 and the sons of worthlessness have said, 'What! this one doth save us!' and they despise him, and have not brought to him a present; and he is as one deaf.
Ali neke ništarije rekoše: “Kako će nas taj spasiti?” I prezreše ga i ne donesoše mu nikakva dara.
