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?

And Samuel taketh the vial of the oil, and poureth on his head, and kisseth him, and saith, 'Is it not because Jehovah hath appointed thee over His inheritance for leader?

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?

In thy going to-day from me — then thou hast found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said unto thee, The asses have been found which thou hast gone to seek; and lo, thy father hath left the matter of the asses, and hath sorrowed for you, saying, What do 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.

'And thou hast passed on thence, and beyond, and hast come in unto the oak of Tabor, and found thee there have three men going up unto God to Beth-El, one bearing three kids, and one bearing three cakes of bread, and one bearing a bottle 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.

and they have asked of thee of welfare, and given to thee two loaves, and thou hast received 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.

'Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are 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.

and prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to 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.

and it hath been, when these signs come to thee — do for thyself as thy hand findeth, for God [is] with thee.

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 thou hast gone down before me to Gilgal, and lo, I am going down unto thee, to cause to ascend burnt-offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days thou dost wait till my coming in unto thee, and I have made known to thee that which thou dost 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.

And it hath been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turneth to him another heart, and all these signs come on 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.

and they come in thither to the height, and lo, a band of prophets — to meet him, and prosper over him doth the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth in their midst.

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?

And it cometh to pass, all his acquaintance heretofore, see, and lo, with prophets he hath prophesied, and the people say one unto another, 'What [is] this hath 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?

And a man thence answereth and saith, 'And who [is] their father?' therefore it hath been for a simile, 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'

13 A pau kana wanana ana, hele mai ia i kahi kiekie.

And he ceaseth from prophesying, and cometh in 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.

and the uncle of Saul saith unto him, and unto his young man, 'Whither went ye?' and he saith, 'To seek the asses; and we see that they are not, and we come in unto 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?

And the uncle of Saul saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to 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.

And Saul saith unto his uncle, 'He certainly declared to us that the asses were found;' and of the matter of the kingdom he hath not declared to him that which Samuel said.

17 Houluulu ae la o Samuela i na kanaka io Iehova la ma Mizepa.

And Samuel calleth the people unto Jehovah to Mizpeh,

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 saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms who are 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.

and ye to-day have rejected your God, who [is] Himself your saviour out of all your evils and your distresses, and ye say, 'Nay, but — a king thou dost set over us; and now, station yourselves before Jehovah, 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.

And Samuel bringeth near the whole tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,

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.

and he bringeth near the tribe of Benjamin by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he hath not been 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.

And they ask again at Jehovah, 'Hath the man yet come hither?' and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, he hath been hidden near the vessels.'

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.

And they run and bring him thence, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder 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.

And Samuel saith unto all the people, 'Have ye seen him on whom Jehovah hath fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shout, and say, 'Let the king live!'

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.

And Samuel speaketh unto the people the right of the kingdom, and writeth in a book, and placeth before Jehovah; and Samuel sendeth all the people away, each 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.

And also Saul hath gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force go with him whose heart God hath 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.

and the sons of worthlessness have said, 'What! this one doth save us!' and they despise him, and have not brought to him a present; and he is as one deaf.
