< I Samuel 10 >
1 Ket innala ni Samuel ti maysa a pagkargaan nga aglaon iti lana, imbukbukna daytoy iti ulo ni Saul, ket inagkanna isuna. Kinunana, “Pudno a ni Yahweh ti nangpulot kenka a mangituray iti tawidna.
And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed thee for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and thou shalt rule among the people of the Lord, and thou shalt save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to thee that the Lord has anointed thee for a ruler over his inheritance.
2 Inton panawannak ita nga aldaw, makasarakkanto iti dua a lallaki iti asideg ti tanem ni Rachel, iti masakupan ti Benjamin idiay Selsa. Ibagadanto kenka, 'Nasarakanen dagiti asno a birbirokem. Ita, nagsardengen nga agdandanag ti amam maipanggep kadagiti asno, ket madandanaganen kenka, a kunkunana, “Ania ti aramidek iti anakko?”'
[As soon] as thou shalt have departed this day from me, thou shalt find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to thee, The asses are found which ye went to seek; and, behold, thy father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Kalpasanna, inton makaadayoka bassit manipud sadiay, ket makadanonkanto iti kayo a lugo iti Tabor. Masabatmonto sadiay ti tallo a lallaki a mapan iti Dios idiay Betel, ti maysa ket nakaukod iti tallo nga urbon a kalding, ti maysa ket nakaawit iti tallo a tinapay, ken ti maysa ket nakaawit iti lalat a naglaon iti arak.
And thou shalt depart thence, and shalt go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and thou shalt find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of wine.
4 Kablaawandankanto ken ikkandakanto iti dua a tinapay, nga awatemto manipud kadagiti imada.
And they shall ask thee how thou doest, and shall give thee two presents of bread, and thou shall receive them of their hand.
5 Kalpasan dayta, makadanonkanto iti turod ti Dios, nga ayan ti pagkamkampoan dagiti Filisteo. Inton makasangpetka iti siudad, makasabatkanto iti maysa a bunggoy dagiti profeta a sumalsalog manipud iti nangato a disso a nakaiggem iti arpa, pandereta, plauta, ken lira; agipadtodanto.
And afterward thou shalt go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when ye shall have entered into the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.
6 Ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ket umayto kenka, ket makipagpadtokanto kadakuada, ken agbalinkanto a naidumduma a tao.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 Ita, inton dumteng kenka dagitoy a pagilasinan, aramidem ti aniaman a kayat ti imam nga aramiden, ta ti Dios ket adda kenka.
And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon thee, —[then] do thou whatsoever thy hand shall find, because God [is] with thee.
8 Umun-unaka a sumalog idiay Gilgal. Ket sumalogakto iti ayanmo tapno mangidatag kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken mangidaton kadagiti daton a pakikappia. Agurayka iti pito nga aldaw agingga nga umayak iti ayanmo ket ipakitak kenka ti masapul nga aramidem.”
And thou shalt go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to thee to offer a whole-burnt-offering and peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait until I shall come to thee, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do.
9 Idi timmalikud ni Saul tapno panawanna ni Samuel, innikkan isuna ti Dios iti sabali a puso. Ket napasamak amin dagitoy a pagilasinan iti dayta nga aldaw.
And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in that day.
10 Idi nakadanonda iti turod, nakasabat isuna iti maysa bunggoy dagiti profeta, ket sibibileg nga immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ti Dios isu a nakipagpadto met isuna kadakuada.
And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
11 Idi nakita isuna dagiti amin a makaam-ammo idi kenkuana a makipagpadpadto isuna kadagiti profeta, kinuna dagiti tattao iti tunggal maysa, “Ania ti napasamak iti lalaki a putot ni Kis? Maysa kadi itan ni Saul kadagiti profeta?”
And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [is] Saul also among the prophets?
12 Simmungbat ti maysa a tao a naggapu iti isu met laeng a lugar, “Ket siasino koma met aya ti amada?” Gapu iti daytoy, nagbalin daytoy a pagsasao, “Maysa kadi metten ni Saul kadagiti profeta?”
And one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
13 Idi nalpas iti panagipadpadtona, napan isuna iti nangato a disso.
And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.
14 Ket kinuna ti uliteg ni Saul kenkuana ken iti adipenna, “Napnapananyo?” Ket simmungbat isuna, “Binirokmi dagiti asno; idi saanmi dagitoy a mabirokan, napankami kenni Samuel.”
And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.
15 Kinuna ti uliteg ni Saul, “Ibagayo kaniak no ania ti imbaga ni Samuel kadakayo.”
And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray thee, What did Samuel say to thee?
16 Simmungbat ni Saul iti ulitegna, “Nalawag nga imbagana kadakami a nasarakanen dagiti asno.” Ngem saanna nga imbaga kenkuana ti banag maipanggep iti pagarian a sinarita ni Samuel.
And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.
17 Ita, inayaban ni Samuel dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Mispa.
And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.
18 Kinunana kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: 'Inruarko ti Israel manipud idiay Egipto, ken inispalkayo manipud iti ima dagiti taga-Egipto, ken manipud iti ima dagiti amin a pagarian a nangidadanes kadakayo.'
And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.
19 Ngem ita nga aldaw linaksidyo ti Diosyo, a mangisalsalakan kadakayo manipud iti amin a didigra ken pakariribukanyo; ken imbagayo kenkuana, 'Mangisaadka iti maysa nga ari a mangituray kadakami.' Ita, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh sigun kadagiti tribu ken kadagiti puliyo.”
And ye have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and ye said, Nay, but thou shalt set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
20 Isu a pinaasideg ni Samuel dagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, ket napili ti tribu ni Benjamin.
And Samuel brought nigh all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
21 pinaasidegna ti tribu ni Benjamin sigun kadagiti pulida; ket napili ti puli dagiti Matrita; ket napili ni Saul nga anak a lalaki ni Kis. Ngem idi napanda a binirok isuna, saanda a mabirokan isuna.
And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.
22 Kalpasanna, kayat dagiti tattao ti agdamag pay iti Dios, “Adda kadi pay sabali a lalaki nga umay?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Naglemmeng isuna kadagiti gargaret.”
And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come hither? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid among the stuff.
23 Timmarayda ngarud a mapan mangala kenni Saul sadiay. Idi timmakder isuna iti tengnga dagiti tattao, nataytayag isuna ngem kadagiti tattao ket pagat-abagana laeng ida.
And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.
24 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Makitayo kadi ti tao a pinili ni Yahweh? Awan iti kas kenkuana kadigiti amin a tattao!” Impukkaw dagiti amin a tattao, “Agbiag ti ari!”
And Samuel said to all the people, Have ye seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!
25 Kalpasanna, imbaga ni Samuel kadagiti tattao dagiti kaugalian ken pagannurotan iti kinaari, insuratna dagitoy iti maysa a libro, ket inkabilna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Kalpasanna, pinagawid ni Samuel dagiti amin a tattao, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a balay.
And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.
26 Nagawid met ni Saul iti balayna idiay Gabaa, ket kimmuyog kenkuana dagiti dadduma a napipigsa a lallaki, nga akin-puso kadagiti sinagid ti Dios.
And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.
27 Ngem kinuna dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga awan serserbina, “Kasanonatayo a maisalakan daytoy a tao?” Inumsi dagitoy a tattao ni Saul ken saanda a nangiyeg kadagiti aniaman a sagut kenkuana. Ngem nagulimek laeng ni Saul.
But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
