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 olive oil and poured it over Saul's head, and kissed him, saying, “The Lord has anointed you as ruler of his chosen people.
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 meet two men near Rachel's tomb in Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you that the donkeys you went to look for have been found. Now your father isn't concerned about them but is worried about you. He's wondering, ‘What 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.
You will leave there and go on to the oak at Tabor where you will meet three men on their way to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be 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 should take.
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.
Next you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have a garrison. As you come into town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place led 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.
The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different 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.
After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, 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.
Then go ahead of me to Gilgal. I assure you I will come and join you to present burnt offerings and friendship offerings. Wait there seven days until I come to you, and let you know what you should 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.
The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled 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 in Gibeah, there was a procession of prophets coming out to meet them, the Spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he also started to prophesy 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?
Everyone who had used to know Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets said to each other, “What's going on with the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
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?
A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
13 A pau kana wanana ana, hele mai ia i kahi kiekie.
After Saul had finished prophesying, he went 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 asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” “We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we couldn't find them 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?
“Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
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.
“He promised us the donkeys had been found,” Saul replied. But Saul didn't tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming king.
17 Houluulu ae la o Samuela i na kanaka io Iehova la ma Mizepa.
Samuel called the people of Israel to come before 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:
He told the Israelites, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I led Israel out of Egypt, and I saved you from the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms that were oppressing 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 now you have rejected your God, the one who saves you from all your troubles and disasters. You told him, ‘You must appoint a king to rule us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and family groups.”
20 A hookokoke mai o Samuela i na hanauna kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, ua laweia ka hanauna o ka Beniamina.
Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
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 family groups, and the family group of Matri was chosen. Lastly, Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But when they looked for him, he couldn't 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.
So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding 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 brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
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 everyone, “Can you see the one the Lord has chosen? There's no one like him anywhere!” 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 all that a king would do. He wrote it down on a scroll and placed it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent everyone 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 returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help 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 obnoxious men asked, “How could this man save us?” They hated him and didn't bring him any gifts; but Saul did not retaliate.
