I Samuela 9
1 HOOKAHI kanaka no ka Beniamina, o Kisa kona inoa, ke keiki a Abiela, ke keiki a Zerora, ke keiki a Bekorata, ke keiki a Apia, no Beniamina, he kanaka waiwai nui.
There was nowe a man of Beniamin, mightie in power named Kish, the sonne of Abiel, the sonne of Zeror, the sonne of Bechorath, the sonne of Aphiah, the sonne of a man of Iemini.
2 He keiki kana, o Saula kona inoa, he opiopio a maikai: aohe kanaka maikai iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela e like ana me ia: mai kona poohiwi aku a hala loa iluna, ka oi ana o kona kiekie mamua o ko na kanaka a pau.
And he had a sonne called Saul, a goodly yong man and a faire: so that among the children of Israel there was none goodlier then he: from the shoulders vpwarde he was hier then any of the people.
3 Ua nalowale na hoki a Kisa, ka makuakane o Saula; i aku la o Kisa i kana keiki, ia Saula, E lawe oe i kekahi kauwa me oe, a hele e imi i na hoki.
And the asses of Kish Sauls father were lost: therefore Kish said to Saul his sonne, Take nowe one of the seruants with thee, and arise, goe, and seeke the asses.
4 Kaahele no ia ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a kaahele hoi ma ka aina o Salisa, aole i loaa ia laua; alaila kaahele laua ma ka aina o Salima, aole malaila; hele aku la ia ma ka aina o ka Beniamina, aole i loaa ia laua.
So he passed through mount Ephraim, and went through the lande of Shalishah, but they found them not. Then they went through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: he went also through ye land of Iemini, but they found the not.
5 A hiki aku la laua ma ka aina o Zupa, i aku la ia i kana kauwa me ia, Ea, e hoi kaua, o pau auanei ka manao ana o kuu makuakane i na hoki, a hookaumahaia no kaua.
When they came to the lande of Zuph, Saul saide vnto his seruant that was with him, Come and let vs returne, lest my father leaue the care of asses, and take thought for vs.
6 I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, ma keia kulanakauhale e noho ana kekahi kanaka o ke Akua, he kanaka kaulana: a o ka mea a pau ana e olelo ai, e ko io no ia: e nele kaua malaila, malama e hiki ia ia ke kuhikuhi mai ia kaua i ke ala e pono ai kaua ke hele.
And he said vnto him, Behold nowe, in this citie is a man of God, and he is an honorable man: all that he saith commeth to passe: let vs nowe goe thither, if so be that he can shewe vs what way we may goe.
7 I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ina paha e hele kaua, heaha ka kaua e lawe aku ai i ua kanaka la? No ka mea, ua pau ka berena maloko o ko kaua ipu, aole he manawalea e lawe aku i ua kanaka la o ke Akua: heaha ka mea ia kaua?
Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well then, let vs goe: but what shall we bring vnto the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God: what haue we?
8 Olelo hou mai la ke kauwa ia Saula, i mai la, Eia ma kuu lima ka hapaha o ke sekela kala; o keia ka'u e haawi aku ai i ua kanaka la o ke Akua, i kuhikuhi mai ai ia i ke ala o kaua.
And the seruant answered Saul againe, and said, Beholde, I haue founde about me the fourth part of a shekell of siluer: that will I giue the man of God, to tell vs our way.
9 (I ka manawa mamua iloko o ka Iseraela, a i hele ke kanaka e ninau i ke Akua, peneia ia i olelo ai, Ina kakou e hele i ka mea ike; no ka mea, o ke kaula i keia manawa, ua kapaia oia mamua, he mea ike.)
(Beforetime in Israel when a man went to seeke an answere of God, thus he spake, Come, and let vs goe to the Seer: for he that is called nowe a Prophet, was in the olde time called a Seer)
10 I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ua pono kau olelo; ina kaua e hele aku: a hele aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale, i kahi o ke kanaka o ke Akua.
Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well saide, come, let vs goe: so they went into the citie where the man of God was.
11 A i ka laua pii ana i ke kulanakauhale, loaa ia laua na kaikamahine e hele ana e huki wai, i aku la ia lakou, Maanei anei ke kanaka ike?
And as they were going vp the hie way to the citie, they found maydes that came out to draw water, and said vnto them, Is there here a Seer?
12 Olelo mai la lakou ia laua, i mai la, Maanei no: aia hoi ia mamua ou, e wikiwiki, no ka mea, i hele mai ia i ke kulanakauhale i keia la; no ka mea, he ahaaina na na kanaka i keia la ma kahi kiekie.
And they answered them, and said, Yea: loe, he is before you: make haste nowe, for he came this day to the citie: for there is an offering of the people this day in the hie place.
13 A hiki aku olua maloko o ke kulanakauhale, e loaa koke oia ia olua, mamua o kona pii ana ae ma kahi kiekie e ai ai; aole e ai na kanaka a hiki aku ia; no ka mea, nana no e hoomaikai aku i ka ahaaina, a mahope iho, ai no ka poe i oleloia. No ia mea, e pii olua; no ka mea, eia ka la e loaa'i ia olua ia.
When ye shall come into the citie, ye shall finde him straightway yet he come vp to the hie place to eate: for the people will not eate vntill he come, because he will blesse the sacrifice: and then eate they that be bidden to the feast: nowe therefore goe vp: for euen now shall ye find him.
14 A pii aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale: a hiki laua iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, halawai laua me Samuela e pii ana ma kahi kiekie.
Then they went vp into the citie, and when they were come into the middes of the citie, Samuel came out against them, to goe vp to the hie place.
15 Ua olelo e mai o Iehova i ka pepeiao o Samuela i ka la mamua o ko Saula hiki ana mai, i mai la,
But the Lord had reueiled to Samuel secretly (a day before Saul came) saying,
16 Apopo ma keia manawa, e hoouna aku au i ou la i kekahi kanaka no ka aina o ka Beniamina, a e poni aku oe ia ia i alii maluna o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, i hoopakele mai ai ia i ko'u poe kanaka mai ka lima mai o ko Pilisetia: ua nana aku au i ko'u poe kanaka, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko lakou uwe ana io'u nei.
To morow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Beniamin: him shalt thou anoint to be gouernour ouer my people Israel, that he may saue my people out of the hands of the Philistims: for I haue looked vpon my people, and their crie is come vnto me.
17 A ike aku la o Samuela ia Saula, olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, Eia ke kanaka a'u i olelo ai ia oe; oia ka mea e alii ai maluna o kuu poe kanaka.
When Samuel therefore sawe Saul, the Lord answered him, See, this is the man whom I spake to thee of, he shall rule my people.
18 Hookokoke aku la o Saula ia Samuela ma ka ipuka pa, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hale o ka mea ike.
Then went Saul to Samuel in the middes of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the Seers house is.
19 Olelo mai la o Samuela ia Saula, i mai la, Owau no ka mea ike; e pii ae oe mamua o'u i kahi kiekie: no ka mea, e ai pu olua me au i keia la; apopo e kuu aku au ia oe, a e hai aku au i na mea a pau maloko o kou naau.
And Samuel answered Saul, and saide, I am the Seer: goe vp before me vnto the hie place: for ye shall eate with me to day. and to morowe I will let thee goe, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
20 A no kau mau hoki i nalowale i na la ekolu ae nei, mai manao oe ia lakou, no ka mea, ua loaa lakou. Maluna owai anei ka makemake a pau o ka Iseraela? Aole anei maluna ou, a me ko ka hale a pau o kou makuakane?
And as for thine asses that were lost three dayes ago, care not for them: for they are founde. and on whom is set all the desire of Israel? is it not vpon thee and on all thy fathers house?
21 Olelo aku la o Saula, i aku la, Aole anei wau no ka Beniamina, no ka mea uuku o na hanauna a pau o ka Iseraela? a o kuu ohana ka mea uuku o na ohana a pau o ka Beniamina? no ke aha la oe i olelo mai ai ia'u pela?
But Saul answered, and said, Am not I the sonne of Iemini of the smallest tribe of Israel? and my familie is the least of all the families of the tribe of Beniamin. Wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
22 Lawe aku la o Samuela ia Saula a me kana kauwa, alakai ia laua maloko o ke keena ai, a hoonoho ia laua ma kahi maikai iwaena o ka poe i oleloia, he kanakolu paha lakou.
And Samuel tooke Saul and his seruant, and brought them into the chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden: which were about thirtie persons.
23 Olelo aku la o Samuela i ke kahu ai, E lawe mai i kahi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe, i ka mea a'u i olelo ai ia oe, E waiho ia me oe.
And Samuel saide vnto the cooke, Bring foorth the portion which I gaue thee, and whereof I said vnto thee, Keepe it with thee.
24 Lawe ae la ke kahu ai i ka uha mua, a me ka mea maluna, a waiho imua o Saula. I aku la o [Samuela, ] Aia hoi o ke koena, e waiho ia imua ou, a e ai oe; no ka mea, ua hookaawale ia mea nau no ka manawa a'u i olelo ai, ua kahea aku au i na kanaka. A ai pu iho la o Saula me Samuela ia la.
And the cooke tooke vp the shoulder, and that which was vpon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Beholde, that which is left, set it before thee and eate: for hitherto hath it bene kept for thee, saying, Also I haue called the people. So Saul did eate with Samuel that day.
25 A iho mai lakou mai kahi kiekie mai a i ke kulanakauhale, kamailio pu oia me Saula maluna o ka hale.
And when they were come downe from the hie place into the citie, he communed with Saul vpon the top of the house.
26 Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui; a i ka wanaao, kahea aku la o Samuela ia Saula maluna o ka hale, i aku la, E ala, a hoouna aku au ia oe. Ala mai o Saula, a hele aku la laua iwaho, oia a me Samuela.
And when they arose early about ye spring of the day, Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Vp, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out, both he, and Samuel.
27 A i ko laua iho ana ma ka mokuna o ke kulanakauhale, i aku la o Samuela ia Saula, E i aku oe i ke kauwa, e hele e aku ia mamua o kaua, (a hele aku la ia, ) aka, e ku malie oe i keia wa, i hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka olelo a ke Akua.
And when they were come downe to the ende of the citie, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the seruant goe before vs, (and he went) but stand thou still nowe, that I may shewe thee the worde of God.
