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.
And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, mighty of valour,
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 hath a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and goodly, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel goodlier than he — from his shoulder and upward, higher than 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, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish saith unto Saul his son, 'Take, I pray thee, with thee, one of the young men, and rise, go, seek 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.
And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found.
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.
They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said to his young man who [is] with him, 'Come, and we turn back, lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been sorrowful for us.'
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 saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to us our way on which we have gone.'
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?
And Saul saith to his young man, 'And lo, we go, and what do we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of God — what [is] with us?'
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 young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, 'Lo, there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us 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.)
Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God, 'Come and we go unto the seer,' for the 'prophet' of to-day is called formerly 'the 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.
And Saul saith to his young man, 'Thy word [is] good; come, we go;' and they go unto the city where the man of God [is].
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?
They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, 'Is the seer in this [place]?'
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 answer them and say, 'He is; lo, before thee! haste, now, for to-day he hath come in to the city, for the people hath a stated sacrifice in a high 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.
At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice; afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at this time 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.
And they go up in to the city; they are coming in to the midst of the city, and lo, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high 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,
and Jehovah had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, 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.
'At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin — and thou hast anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath come in unto 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 hath seen Saul, then hath Jehovah answered him, 'Lo, the man of whom I have spoken unto thee; this [one] doth restrain 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.
And Saul draweth nigh to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, where [is] this — the seer's house?'
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 answereth Saul and saith, 'I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and ye have eaten with me to-day, and I have sent thee away in the morning, and all that [is] in thy heart I declare to thee.
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?
As to the asses which are lost to thee this day three days, set not thy heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel?' is it not to thee and to all thy father's 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?
And Saul answereth and saith, 'Am not I a Benjamite — of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou spoken unto me according to this word?'
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 taketh Saul, and his young man, and bringeth them in to the chamber, and giveth to them a place at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
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 saith to the cook, 'Give the portion which I gave to thee, of which I said unto thee, 'Set it by 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 cook lifteth up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and setteth before Saul), and he saith, 'Lo, that which is left; set [it] before thee — eat, for to this appointed season it is kept for thee, saying, The people I have called;' and Saul eateth with Samuel on 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 they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaketh with Saul on the roof.
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 they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the roof, saying, 'Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth, and they go out, both of them — he and Samuel, without.
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.
They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel hath said unto Saul, 'Say to the young man that he pass on before us (and he passeth on), and thou, stand at this time, and I cause thee to hear the word of God.'
