I Samuela 10
1 LAWE aku la o Samuela i ka hue aila, a ninini iho la maluna o kona poo, a honi aku la ia ia, i aku la, Aole anei keia no ka poni ana mai o Iehova ia oe i alii maluna o kona hooilina?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
2 A hala oe mai o'u aku nei i keia la, alaila e loaa no ia oe na kanaka elua ma ka halelua o Rahela, ma ka mokuna o ka Beniamina, ma Zeleza; a e i mai laua ia oe, Ua loaa na hoki au i hele ai e imi: aia hoi, ua pau ka manao ana o kou makuakane i na hoki, a ua kaumaha oia ia olua, i ka i ana ae, Heaha ka'u e hana'i no kuu keiki?
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?”’
3 A malaila aku oe e hele ai, a hiki ma ka laau oka o Tabora, a e halawai mai me oe ilaila na kanaka ekolu e pii ana i ke Akua ma Betela: o kekahi e hali ana i na kao keiki ekolu, a o kekahi e hali ana i na pai palaoa ekolu, a o kekahi e hali ana i ka hue waina.
“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.
4 A e aloha mai lakou ia oe, a e haawi mai ia oe i elua pai berena; nau no ia e lawe mai ko lakou lima mai.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 Mahope iho e hiki aku oe i ka puu o ke Akua, malaila ka noho ana o ka poe koa o ko Pilisetia: a hiki aku oe ilaila i ke kulanakauhale, e halawai oe me ka poe kaula e iho ana ma kahi kiekie mai, me ka mea kani, a me ke kuolokani, a me ka mea hokio, a me ka mea ukeke imua o lakou; a e wanana lakou.
“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.
6 A e hiki mai ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ou, a e wanana pu oe me lakou, a e lilo oe i kanaka okoa.
Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 Aia hiki mai keia mau hoailona ia oe, e hana oe i ka mea i loaa i kou lima; no ka mea, me oe no ke Akua.
Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
8 A e iho e oe mamua o'u i Gilegala; aia hoi e iho ana au i ou la, e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni, a e kaumaha aku hoi i na mohai hoomalu; i na la ehiku oe e kali ai, a hiki aku au i ou la, a e hoike aku ia oe i ka mea au e hana aku ai.
“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.”
9 A i ka wa i huli ae ia e hele aku mai o Samuela aku, haawi mai ke Akua i naau okoa nona: a hiki io mai ua mau hoailona la a pau ia la.
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.
10 A hiki aku laua malaila ma ka puu, aia hoi, he poe kaula i halawai mai me ia; a hiki mai ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna ona, a wanana pu aku la ia me lakou.
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 among them.
11 A o na mea a pau i ike ia ia i ka manawa mamua, ike lakou, aia hoi, e wanana ana oia me ka poe kaula, i ae la kekahi kanaka i kona hoalauna, Heaha keia i hiki mai ai i ke keiki a Kisa? O Saula anei kekahi me ka poe kaula?
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 among the prophets?”
12 Olelo mai kekahi nolaila mai, i mai la, Owai ko lakou makuakane? No ia mea ua maa ia olelo, O Saula anei kekahi me ka poe kaula?
One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 A pau kana wanana ana, hele mai ia i kahi kiekie.
When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 Ninau mai la kekahi makuakane o Saula ia ia, a i kana kauwa, Ihea la olua i hele ai? I aku la kela, I kahi e imi ai i na hoki: a ike maua, aole, hele maua io Samuela la.
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.”
15 I mai la kahi makuakane o Saula, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u, heaha ka mea a Samuela i olelo mai ai ia olua?
Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 I aku la o Saula i kekahi makuakane ona, Ua hai maopopo mai ia ia maua i ka loaa ana o na hoki. Aka, o ka mea no ke aupuni a Samuela i olelo ai, aole ia i hai aku ia ia.
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 did not tell him.
17 Houluulu ae la o Samuela i na kanaka io Iehova la ma Mizepa.
Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
18 I aku la i na mamo a Iseraela, Peneia ka olelo a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ua lawe mai nei au i ka Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, a ua hoopakele ia oukou i ka lima o ko Aigupita, a i ka lima o ko na aupuni a pau, a me ka poe i hooluhi ia oukou:
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.’
19 A ua hoowahawaha oukou i ko oukou Akua i keia la, oia ka i hoola ia oukou i na mea ino a pau a me na popilikia o oukou; ua i aku oukou ia ia, E hoonoho i alii maluna o makou. No ia mea, e hoike oukou ia oukou iho imua o Iehova ma ko oukou mau hanauna, a ma ko oukou mau tausani.
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.”
20 A hookokoke mai o Samuela i na hanauna kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua laweia ka hanauna o ka Beniamina.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 A hookokoke mai ia i ka hanauna o ka Beniamina ma ko lakou mau ohana, ua laweia ka ohana o Materi, a ua laweia o Saula ke keiki a Kisa; a imi lakou ia ia, aole i loaa.
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.
22 No ia mea, ninau hou lakou ia Iehova, E hiki mai auanei ua kanaka la maanei? I mai la o Iehova, Aia, ua pee oia maloko o na ukana.
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” The LORD answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Holo lakou a lawe mai ia ia mai laila mai: a i ke ku ana oia iwaena o na kanaka, na oi kona kiekie mamua o ko na kanaka a pau, mai kona poohiwi aku, a hala loa iluna.
They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka a pau, E nana oukou ia ia nei, i ka mea a Iehova i wae ai, aohe kona like iwaena o na kanaka a pau, Hooho aku la na kanaka a pau, i aku la, E ola ke alii.
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Alaila hai aku la o Samuela i ke ano o ke aupuni, a kakau iloko o ka buke, a waiho ia imua o Iehova. A hoihoi aku la o Samuela i na kanaka a pau, i kela mea i keia mea i kona hale iho.
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.
26 A hoi aku la o Saula i kona wahi ma Gibea; a hele pu me ia kekahi poe kanaka, na ke Akua i hoopa mai ko lakou naau.
Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Aka, olelo mai la ka poe hewa, Pehea la e hoola mai ai keia kanaka ia kakou? a hoowahawaha lakou ia ia, aole i lawe mai lakou i na haawina ia ia; aka, noho malie no ia.
But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.
