1 Samũeli 10
1 Ningĩ Samũeli akĩoya kĩnandũ kĩa maguta, akĩmaitĩrĩria Saũlũ mũtwe, na akĩmũmumunya, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Jehova ndagũitĩrĩirie maguta ũtuĩke mũtongoria wa igai rĩake?
Then Samuel tooke a viole of oyle and powred it vpon his head, and kissed him, and saide, Hath not the Lord anointed thee to be gouernour ouer his inheritance?
2 Ũmũthĩ twatigana, nĩũgũcemania na andũ eerĩ hakuhĩ na mbĩrĩra ya Rakeli, kũu Zeliza mũhaka-inĩ wa Benjamini. Nĩmarĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndigiri iria wathiire gũcaria-rĩ, nĩcionekete. Na rĩu thoguo nĩatigĩte gwĩciiria ũhoro wacio na nĩamakĩte nĩ ũndũ waku. Aroria atĩrĩ, “Ngwĩka atĩa nĩ ũndũ wa mũrũ wakwa?”’
When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt finde two men by Rahels sepulchre in the border of Beniamin, euen at Zelzah, and they will say vnto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seeke, are founde: and lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and soroweth for you, saying, What shall I doe for my sonne?
3 “Ningĩ kuuma kũu nĩũgũthiĩ na mbere ũkinye mũtĩ-inĩ ũrĩa mũnene wa Taboru. Nĩũgũcemania na andũ atatũ makĩambata mathiĩ kũu Betheli kũrĩ Ngai. Ũmwe arĩkorwo akuuĩte tũũri tũtatũ, ũrĩa ũngĩ mĩgate ĩtatũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ mondo ya ndibei.
Then shalt thou go forth from thence and shalt come to the plaine of Tabor, and there shall meete thee three men going vp to God to Bethel: one carying three kiddes, and an other carying three loaues of bread, and another carying a bottle of wine:
4 Nao makũgeithie na makũhe mĩgate ĩĩrĩ, ĩrĩa ũrĩamũkĩra kuuma kũrĩ o.
And they will aske thee if all be well, and will giue thee the two loaues of bread, which thou shalt receiue of their handes.
5 “Thuutha ũcio ũthiĩ nginya Gibea ya Ngai, kũrĩa kũrĩ kambĩ ya Afilisti ya arangĩri. Na wakuhĩrĩria itũũra rĩu-rĩ, nĩũgũcemania na mũtongoro wa gĩkundi kĩa anabii maikũrũkĩte makiuma handũ hau hatũũgĩru marĩ na inanda cia kĩnũbi, na tũhembe, na mĩtũrirũ, na inanda cia mũgeeto ikĩgambio mbere yao, na nĩmegũkorwo makĩratha mohoro.
After that shalt thou come to the hill of God, where is the garisons of the Philistims: and when thou art come thither to the citie, thou shalt meete a companie of Prophets comming downe from the hie place with a viole, and a tymbrell, and a pipe, and an harpe before them, and they shall prophecie.
6 Roho wa Jehova nĩegũũka igũrũ rĩaku na hinya, na nĩũkũratha mohoro hamwe nao; nawe nĩũkũgarũrwo ũtuĩke mũndũ ũngĩ.
Then the Spirit of the Lord will come vpon thee, and thou shalt prophecie with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 Marũũri macio maarĩkia kũhingio-rĩ, ĩka o ũrĩa guoko gwaku kũngĩhota gwĩka, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe.
Therefore when these signes shall come vnto to thee, doe as occasion shall serue: for God is with thee.
8 “Ikũrũka mbere yakwa nginya Giligali. Ti-itherũ nĩngaikũrũka njũke kũrĩ we ndute magongona ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano. No no nginya weterere mĩthenya mũgwanja nginya njũke harĩ we ngwĩre ũrĩa wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.”
And thou shalt goe downe before me to Gilgal: and I also will come downe vnto thee to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace. Tary for me seuen dayes, till I come to thee and shewe thee what thou shalt doe.
9 Na rĩrĩa Saũlũ aahũndũkaga matigane na Samũeli-rĩ, Ngai akĩgarũra ngoro ya Saũlũ, namo marũũri macio mothe makĩhingio mũthenya o ro ũcio.
And when he had turned his backe to goe from Samuel, God gaue him another heart: and all those tokens came to passe that same day.
10 Rĩrĩa maakinyire Gibea-rĩ, mũtongoro wa anabii ũkĩmũtũnga; nake Roho wa Ngai agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya, agĩĩturanĩra nao, na akĩratha mohoro.
And when they came thither to the hill, beholde, the companie of Prophets meete him, and the Spirit of God came vpon him, and he prophecied among them.
11 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe maamũũĩ maamuonire akĩratha mohoro me hamwe na anabii, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũyũ wĩkĩkĩte kũrĩ mũrũ wa Kishu? Kaĩ Saũlũ atuĩkĩte wa thiritũ ya anabii?”
Therefore all the people that knewe him before, when they saw that he prophecied among the Prophets, saide eche to other, What is come vnto the sonne of Kish? is Saul also among the Prophets?
12 Mũndũ watũũraga kũu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nake ithe wao nũũ?” Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgĩtuĩka ũndũ ũngĩtuĩka thimo, gũkooragio atĩrĩ, “Saũlũ o nake nĩ wa gĩkundi kĩa anabii?”
And one of the same place answered, and said, But who is their father? Therefore it was a prouerbe, Is Saul also among the Prophets?
13 Thuutha wa Saũlũ gũtiga kũratha mohoro, agĩthiĩ handũ hau hatũũgĩru.
And when he had made an ende of prophecying, he came to the hie place.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ithe mũnini wa Saũlũ akĩũria Saũlũ na ndungata yake atĩrĩ, “Mũraarĩ kũ?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gwetha ndigiri, no rĩrĩa twaciagire tũgĩthiĩ kũrĩ Samũeli.”
And Sauls vncle saide vnto him, and to his seruant, Whither went ye? And he saide, To seeke the asses: and when we sawe that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
15 Ithe mũnini wa Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra ũrĩa Samũeli aakwĩrire.”
And Sauls vncle saide, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said vnto you.
16 Saũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩatwĩrire o wega atĩ ndigiri nĩcionekete.” No ndeerire ithe mũnini ũrĩa Samũeli aamwĩrire ũhoro ũkoniĩ ũthamaki.
Then Saul saide to his vncle, He tolde vs plainely that the asses were founde: but concerning the kingdome whereof Samuel spake, tolde he him not.
17 Samũeli agĩtũmanĩra andũ a Isiraeli mongane harĩ Jehova kũu Mizipa,
And Samuel assembled the people vnto the Lord in Mizpeh,
18 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ ndaarutire Isiraeli, ngĩmambatia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na nĩ niĩ ndaamũkũũrire kuuma watho-inĩ wa Misiri, na mothamaki-inĩ mothe marĩa maamũhinyagĩrĩria.’
And he saide vnto the children of Israel, Thus saith ye Lord God of Israel, I haue brought Israel out of Egypt, and deliuered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the handes of all kingdomes that troubled you.
19 No rĩrĩ, nĩmũregete Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũmũhonokagia kuuma kũrĩ mĩnyamaro na mathĩĩna manyu mothe, na mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, tũhe mũthamaki atũthamakagĩre.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu mwĩneanei mbere ya Jehova ta ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yanyu na mbarĩ cianyu itariĩ.”
But ye haue this day cast away your God, who onely deliuereth you out of all your aduersities and tribulations: and ye said vnto him, No, but appoint a King ouer vs. Nowe therefore stand ye before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your thousands.
20 Rĩrĩa Samũeli aarehire mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli hakuhĩ-rĩ, mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini nĩguo wathuurirwo.
And when Samuel had gathered together all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Beniamin was taken.
21 Ningĩ akĩrehithia mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini hau mbere, mbarĩ o mbarĩ, na mbarĩ ya Matiri nĩyo yathuurirwo. Mũthia-inĩ Saũlũ mũrũ wa Kishu agĩthuurwo. No maamwetha matiigana kũmuona.
Afterwarde he assembled the tribe of Beniamin according to their families, and the familie of Matri was taken. So Saul the sonne of Kish was taken, and when they sought him, he coulde not be found.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtuĩria ũhoro makĩria harĩ Jehova, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩokĩte gũkũ?” Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ehithĩte harĩa indo ciigĩtwo.”
Therefore they asked the Lord againe, if that man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Beholde, he hath hid himselfe among the stuffe.
23 Nao magĩtengʼera, makĩmũgĩĩra, na aarũgama gatagatĩ ka andũ-rĩ, nĩwe warĩ mũraihu gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
And they ranne, and brought him thence: and when he stoode among the people, he was hier then any of the people from the shoulders vpwarde.
24 Samũeli akĩĩra andũ othe atĩrĩ, “Nĩmuona mũndũ ũrĩa Jehova athuurĩte? Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhaana take harĩ andũ aya othe.” Nao andũ makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra ihinda iraaya!”
And Samuel saide to all the people, See ye not him, whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? and all the people shouted and saide, God saue the King.
25 Samũeli agĩtaarĩria andũ mawatho ma ũthamaki. Nake akĩmaandĩka gĩkũnjo-inĩ akĩmaiga mbere ya Jehova. Ningĩ Samũeli akĩĩra andũ mathiĩ, o mũndũ gwake mũciĩ.
Then Samuel tolde the people the duetie of the kingdome, and wrote it in a booke, and laied it vp before the Lord, and Samuel sent all the people away euery man to his house.
26 Saũlũ o nake agĩthiĩ gwake mũciĩ kũu Gibea, oimagarĩtio nĩ andũ njamba arĩa ngoro ciao ciahutĩtio nĩ Ngai.
Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there followed him a bande of men, whose heart God had touched,
27 No andũ amwe a thogothogo makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aahota atĩa gũtũhonokia?” Makĩmũnyarara na matiigana kũmũrehera iheo. Nowe Saũlũ agĩĩkirĩra ki.
But the wicked men saide, Howe shall hee saue vs? So they despised him, and brought him no presents: but he held his tongue.
