1 Samuel 9
1 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, mighty of valour,
et erat vir de Beniamin nomine Cis filius Abihel filii Seror filii Bechoreth filii Afia filii viri Iemini fortis robore
2 and he hath a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and goodly, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel goodlier than he — from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
et erat ei filius vocabulo Saul electus et bonus et non erat vir de filiis Israhel melior illo ab umero et sursum eminebat super omnem populum
3 And the asses of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish saith unto Saul his son, 'Take, I pray thee, with thee, one of the young men, and rise, go, seek the asses.'
perierant autem asinae Cis patris Saul et dixit Cis ad Saul filium suum tolle tecum unum de pueris et consurgens vade et quaere asinas qui cum transissent per montem Ephraim
4 And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found.
et per terram Salisa et non invenissent transierunt etiam per terram Salim et non erant sed et per terram Iemini et minime reppererunt
5 They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said to his young man who [is] with him, 'Come, and we turn back, lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been sorrowful for us.'
cum autem venissent in terram Suph dixit Saul ad puerum suum qui erat cum eo veni et revertamur ne forte dimiserit pater meus asinas et sollicitus sit pro nobis
6 And he saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to us our way on which we have gone.'
qui ait ei ecce est vir Dei in civitate hac vir nobilis omne quod loquitur absque ambiguitate venit nunc ergo eamus illuc si forte indicet nobis de via nostra propter quam venimus
7 And Saul saith to his young man, 'And lo, we go, and what do we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of God — what [is] with us?'
dixitque Saul ad puerum suum ecce ibimus quid feremus ad virum panis defecit in sitarciis nostris et sportulam non habemus ut demus homini Dei nec quicquam aliud
8 And the young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, 'Lo, there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us our way.'
rursum puer respondit Sauli et ait ecce inventa est in manu mea quarta pars stateris argenti demus homini Dei ut indicet nobis viam nostram
9 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God, 'Come and we go unto the seer,' for the 'prophet' of to-day is called formerly 'the seer.'
olim in Israhel sic loquebatur unusquisque vadens consulere Deum venite et eamus ad videntem qui enim propheta dicitur hodie vocabatur olim videns
10 And Saul saith to his young man, 'Thy word [is] good; come, we go;' and they go unto the city where the man of God [is].
et dixit Saul ad puerum suum optimus sermo tuus veni eamus et ierunt in civitatem in qua erat vir Dei
11 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, 'Is the seer in this [place]?'
cumque ascenderent clivum civitatis invenerunt puellas egredientes ad hauriendam aquam et dixerunt eis num hic est videns
12 And they answer them and say, 'He is; lo, before thee! haste, now, for to-day he hath come in to the city, for the people hath a stated sacrifice in a high place.
quae respondentes dixerunt illis hic est ecce ante te festina nunc hodie enim venit in civitate quia sacrificium est hodie populo in excelso
13 At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice; afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at this time ye find him.'
ingredientes urbem statim invenietis eum antequam ascendat excelsum ad vescendum neque enim comesurus est populus donec ille veniat quia ipse benedicit hostiae et deinceps comedunt qui vocati sunt nunc ergo conscendite quia hodie repperietis eum
14 And they go up in to the city; they are coming in to the midst of the city, and lo, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
et ascenderunt in civitatem cumque illi ambularent in medio urbis apparuit Samuhel egrediens obviam eis ut ascenderet in excelsum
15 and Jehovah had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
Dominus autem revelaverat auriculam Samuhel ante unam diem quam veniret Saul dicens
16 'At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin — and thou hast anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath come in unto Me.'
hac ipsa quae nunc est hora cras mittam ad te virum de terra Beniamin et ungues eum ducem super populum meum Israhel et salvabit populum meum de manu Philisthinorum quia respexi populum meum venit enim clamor eorum ad me
17 When Samuel hath seen Saul, then hath Jehovah answered him, 'Lo, the man of whom I have spoken unto thee; this [one] doth restrain My people.'
cumque aspexisset Samuhel Saulem Dominus ait ei ecce vir quem dixeram tibi iste dominabitur populo meo
18 And Saul draweth nigh to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, where [is] this — the seer's house?'
accessit autem Saul ad Samuhelem in medio portae et ait indica oro mihi ubi est domus videntis
19 And Samuel answereth Saul and saith, 'I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and ye have eaten with me to-day, and I have sent thee away in the morning, and all that [is] in thy heart I declare to thee.
et respondit Samuhel Sauli dicens ego sum videns ascende ante me in excelsum ut comedatis mecum hodie et dimittam te mane et omnia quae sunt in corde tuo indicabo tibi
20 As to the asses which are lost to thee this day three days, set not thy heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel?' is it not to thee and to all thy father's house?'
et de asinis quas perdidisti nudius tertius ne sollicitus sis quia inventae sunt et cuius erunt optima quaeque Israhel nonne tibi et omni domui patris tui
21 And Saul answereth and saith, 'Am not I a Benjamite — of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou spoken unto me according to this word?'
respondens autem Saul ait numquid non filius Iemini ego sum de minima tribu Israhel et cognatio mea novissima inter omnes familias de tribu Beniamin quare ergo locutus es mihi sermonem istum
22 And Samuel taketh Saul, and his young man, and bringeth them in to the chamber, and giveth to them a place at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
adsumens itaque Samuhel Saulem et puerum eius introduxit eos in triclinium et dedit eis locum in capite eorum qui fuerant invitati erant enim quasi triginta viri
23 And Samuel saith to the cook, 'Give the portion which I gave to thee, of which I said unto thee, 'Set it by thee?'
dixitque Samuhel coco da partem quam dedi tibi et praecepi ut reponeres seorsum apud te
24 (and the cook lifteth up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and setteth before Saul), and he saith, 'Lo, that which is left; set [it] before thee — eat, for to this appointed season it is kept for thee, saying, The people I have called;' and Saul eateth with Samuel on that day.
levavit autem cocus armum et posuit ante Saul dixitque Samuhel ecce quod remansit pone ante te et comede quia de industria servatum est tibi quando populum vocavi et comedit Saul cum Samuhel in die illa
25 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaketh with Saul on the roof.
et descenderunt de excelso in oppidum et locutus est cum Saul in solario
26 And they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the roof, saying, 'Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth, and they go out, both of them — he and Samuel, without.
cumque mane surrexissent et iam dilucesceret vocavit Samuhel Saul in solarium dicens surge ut dimittam te et surrexit Saul egressique sunt ambo ipse videlicet et Samuhel
27 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel hath said unto Saul, 'Say to the young man that he pass on before us (and he passeth on), and thou, stand at this time, and I cause thee to hear the word of God.'
cumque descenderent in extrema parte civitatis Samuhel dixit ad Saul dic puero ut antecedat nos et transeat tu autem subsiste paulisper ut indicem tibi verbum Domini
