1 Samue 10

1 Anante Samueli'a masave tafena erino masavena Soli anumpi taginteteno, antako hunenteno anage hu'ne, Amanahu'zama huana, Israeli vahe'a kegava hanane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kini kazeri otie.

Then Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.

2 Hagi menina natrenka vunka Reselima asente'naza mopamofo agente'ma Zelza Benzameni naga'mofo moparega uhanati'nunka, tare netre ome zanagenakeno, zanagra kasamike hakenkama vu'nana donki afura hago hake'za eri fore hu'naze huke kasamigaha'e. Hagi negafa'a donki afutaminkura agesa ontahino, kagriku tusi agesa nentahino, nankna hu'na mofavreni'a kegahue huno nehuno mani'ne.

[And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen my son?’”

3 Hagi anantetira vunka Taboria ra oki zafa agafare uhanatigahane. Hagi anantera 3'a vene'nemo'za Anumzamofo mono ome hunte'naku Beteli nevanagenka ome zanagegahane. Magomo'a 3'a agaho meme afu'zaga avrena, magomo'a 3'a breti erina, mago'mo'a waini tintafe eri'ne'za mareri'za nevanagenka ome zamagegahane.

When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.

4 Hagi ana venenemo'za negagesu'za kazeri frufra hunegante'za tare bretia kamigahazanki, ana tare bretia erio.

They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.

5 Hagi anantetira Filistia sondia vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamofo agonare Gibeama kuma eme ante'za mani'nare vugahane. Hagi ana kumapima ufrenunka mago'a kasnampa vahezaga agonaregati ne-eza zamagra zamazampina laire nehaza zavenane hapue nehaza zavenane, nase'nasepane, konkene, eri'ne'za ahe'za ne-eza kasanampa kea hu'za ne-esaza vahe ome tutagiha huzmantegahane.

When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.

6 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo kagripi hanavenentake huno efresigenka, kagranena kasanampa ke nehunka, ruzahe hunka ruzahu vahe efore hugahane.

At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.

7 Hagi kagrite'ma ana avame'zama efore'ma hanigenka ketesunka, inankna hu'na vahera zamazama hanugeno knare hugahie hunka kagesama antahi'nana zana, amane hugahane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kagrane mani'neno kza hugahie.

After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.

8 Hagi anantetira Gilgali vugotenka uraminka nevuge'na, Nagra anantega eme kagranena kre fanane hu ofane, rimpa fru ofanena kresramana vugahue. Hagi 7ni'a zagegna navegantenka mani'nege'na kagritega e'na nazanoma hanana zana eme kasamigahue.

Then go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should do.”

9 Hagi Soli'ma rukrahe huno Samuelima atreno nevigeno'a, Anumzamo'a Soli agu'a azeri ruzahe hu'ne. Ana higeno ana zupage ana maka avame'zamofo kema asami'nea kemo'a rgare'ne.

As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on that day.

10 Hagi Soli'ene eri'za ne'anema Gibiama ehanatikeno'a, mago'a kasnampa vahe'mo'za tutagiha huznante'za kasnampa ke nehazageno, Solina Anumzamofo Avamu'mo agrite hanavetino egeno, ana vahe'ene eri mago huno kasnampa kea hu'ne.

When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.

11 Hagi Solima ko'ma ke'za antahi'za hu'naza vahe'mo'za kageno kasnampa vahe'ene erimago huno kasnampa kema nehige'za nege'za, zamagra zamagra amanage hu'naze, Kisi nemofontera na'a fore nehie? Agranena kasnampa vahe fore nehie.

When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”

12 Hu'za hazageno mago ana kumate ne'mo mani'nereti otino amanage hu'ne, Mago'a vahe'mo'a amne kasnampa vahera fore hugahie. Iza agri nefa'a mani'ne. Hagi e'i ana agafare anagea nehaze, Soli'a agranena kasnampa vahe mani'nefi? hu'za nehaze.

One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”

13 Hagi Soli'ma kasnampa kema huvagareteno'a, mono'ma ome nehaza agonarega marerino vu'ne.

When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.

14 Hagi anante Soli nenogo'a Soline eri'za ne'anena zanantahigeno, iga vuteta nea'e? Higeno Soli'a kenona huno, tagra donki afuku ome hako'ana onketa atreta Samueli ome kenaku vu'noane.

Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”

15 Huke hakeno Soli nenogo'a huno, muse huranantoanki na'ane huno tanasami'nefi nasami'o.

Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”

16 Higeno Soli'a nenogona kenona hunteno, donki afu'tamina fanane hu'neana hago ke'za erifore hu'naze huno agra tasami'ne. Hianagi kini manigahanema huno asami'nea nanekea osami'ne.

Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].

17 Hagi henka Samueli'a Israeli vahera ke hige'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga Mispa kumate e'naze.

[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.

18 Hagi anante agra Israeli vahera zamasamino, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a anage huno huama hie, Isipi vahe zamazampintira tamavre atiramina mareri'na ne-ena, mika knama tamamiza kuma'tamimofo hanavefintira tamavre'na atirami'noe.

After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.

19 Hianagi tamagra menina hazenke zampinti'ene knazampinti'ma tamagu'vazi'nea Anumzana atreta tamage'na humi'naze. Hagi tamagra huta kini vahe huhamprintegeno kva huranteno hu'naze. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamofo avuga nagate nofite omeritru emeri tru hiho.

I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”

20 Hagi Samueli'a Israeli naga nofira miko kehige'za erava'o hutazageno, Ra Anumzamofo avesi kenaku taisi zokago reno kegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Benzameni naga zamazeri fore hu'ne.

When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.

21 Hagi anama hute'za ete Benzameni nagate ana taisi zokago re'za kazageno, Matri naga huhampri zamante'ne. Hutegeno anampinti Kisi nemofo Soli huhamprinte'ne. Hianagi Soli'a anampina omani'nege'za ke'za erifore osu'naze.

Then Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.

22 Ana hige'za Ra Anumzamofona zamagra antahige'za, iga Soli'a mani'ne, hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, fenozantamima ante'nafi kankamumpi frakino mani'ne.

So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”

23 Hige'za ananke'ma nentahi'za zamagare'za vu'za Solina anampinkati ome avre'za ageno, ana vahe'enema eme oti'neana agra za'za hu'negeno miko vahe'mo'za agri afunteke eme atre'naze.

So they quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.

24 Hagi anante Samueli'a maka vahera zamasamino, Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprintea nera hago kazo? Hianagi miko vahe'mota atupa hu'nazanki ana ne'mo'a za'za huno tamagatere'ne, hige'za miko vahe'mo'za ranke hu'za, za'zate kinia manino vugahie.

Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”

25 Hagi Samueli'a kini ne'mo'ma eri'zama erisia ke'a miko vahera nezamasamino, ana naneke avontafepi krenteno Ra Anumzamofo avuga ante'ne. Anama huteno'a miko vahera kuma'zmirega huzmantege'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.

Then Samuel told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.

26 Hagi Soli'enena kuma'arega Gibea nevige'za, Anumzamo'ma zamarimpama zamazeri otia hanavenentake sondia vahe'mo'za agrane vu'naze.

When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.

27 Hianagi mago'a hazenke vahe'mo'za hu'za, inankna huno ama ne'mo'a tagu'vazigahie. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za huhaviza hunente'za musezana eri'za eme omi'naze. Hianagi Soli'a ana vahekura mago kea osu'ne.

But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].
