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 a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler 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 leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about 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 from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin 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 will accept from their hands.
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 Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, 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 Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
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.
When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, 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.
And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice 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.
As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass 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 Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with 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?
All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened 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?
Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 A pau kana wanana ana, hele mai ia i kahi kiekie.
And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up 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.
Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went 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?
“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say 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.
And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 Houluulu ae la o Samuela i na kanaka io Iehova la ma Mizepa.
After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at 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 said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and 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 today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
20 A hookokoke mai o Samuela i na hanauna kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua laweia ka hanauna o ka Beniamina.
Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
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.
Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
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.
So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “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.
So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
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 the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “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 explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
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 home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
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 some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
