1 Samue 9
1 Hagi magora rama'a feno ante'nea nera Benzameni naga nofipinti ne'mofo agi'a Kisi'e. Hagi Kisina Abieli kasentegeno, Abielina Zerori kasentegeno, Zerorina Bekorati kasentegeno, Bekoratina Afia kasente'ne. Ana hu'neankino Kisi'a rama'aza anteno agi me'nea ne' mani'ne.
Now there was a Benjamite, a powerful man, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin.
2 Hagi Kisi'a ne' mofavre ante'neankino, hentofa nehazavegino agra za'za huno maka Israeli vahera zamagatere vagare'neankino, agi'a Soli'e. Israeli vahe'mokizmi amu'nompina magore huno agrikna nera omani'ne.
And he had a son named Saul, choice and handsome, without equal among the Israelites—a head taller than any of the people.
3 Hagi mago knafina Kisi donki afutamimo'za fanene hu'nazageno nemofo Solina asamino, mago eri'za vahe nevrenka vunka ana donki afuzagagu ome hako.
One day the donkeys of Saul’s father Kish wandered off, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants and go look for the donkeys.”
4 Higeno Soli'ene eri'za ne'ane hakeke Efraemi agona kokampina nevune, Salisa uhanati'na'anagi magore huke hakeke eriforera osu'na'e. Anantetira hakeke Salimi vuna'anagi hakeke eri fore osuke netreke, Benzameni naga'mokizmi kumatamimpi vu'na'anagi onketfa hu'na'e.
So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and then through the land of Shalishah, but did not find the donkeys. He and the servant went through the region of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then they went through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
5 Hagi anantetira hakeke Sufu kaziga uhanatiteke, Soli'a eri'za ne'a asamino, Ru nenfa'a donki afuku'ma agesa antahintahima nehiama'a agatereno tagrikura agesa antahinigi egeta ete kumatega va'maneno.
When they reached the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant, “Come, let us go back, or my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”
6 Hianagi eri'za ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Ko, antu kumatera magora Ra Anumzamofo eri'za nera mani'neankino vahe'mo'za kesaga hunentaza nere. Hagi mika zanku'ma fore hugahiema nehiazamo'a fore nehia neki, egeta antu ana nete va'manenkeno, amaretira inante vugahu'e agra tasamigahie.
“Look,” said the servant, “in this city there is a man of God who is highly respected; everything he says surely comes to pass. Let us go there now. Perhaps he will tell us which way to go.”
7 Hagi Soli'a eri'za ne'amofona amanage huno kenona hunte'ne, Tagra knare Ra Anumzamofo eri'za netera vugahuanagi, naza muse zana eri'neta omenemita hugahue. Hagi hago ne'zama eri'no'a zana nevagare'noe. Hagi tavatera musezama amisu'azana omane'ne.
“If we do go,” Saul replied, “what can we give the man? For the bread in our packs is gone, and there is no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
8 Anage higeno ete eri'za ne'amo'a Solina kenona hunteno, Ko, ama kunifina osi'a silva zagoa eri'noankita Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mofona aminukeno inante tagra vugahu'e agra tasamigahie.
The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have here in my hand a quarter shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God, and he will tell us our way.”
9 (Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Anumzamofontegati'ma keagama erinakura, enketa avune vahe ome kamaneno nehaze. Hagi korapara avune vahere hu'za nehazanagi, menina Anumzamofo kasnampa vahere hu'za nehaze).
(Formerly in Israel, a man on his way to inquire of God would say, “Come, let us go to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called the seer.)
10 Hagi Soli'a eri'za ne'agura anage hu'ne, Knare ke hananki vanu'e. Anage higeke Anumzamofo vahe'ma nemanirega vu'na'e.
“Good,” said Saul to his servant. “Come, let us go.” So they set out for the city where the man of God was.
11 Hagi agonarega umarerike rankumatega nevakeno ana kumapinti tifinaku atineramiza mofa'nezaga ome zamantahigeke anage hu'na'e, avune nera mani'neo?
And as they were climbing the hill to the city, they met some young women coming out to draw water and asked, “Is the seer here?”
12 Hakeno ana mofa'nemo'za kenona hu'za, izo meni avune nera tagri kumapina e'neno kresramana vu ofa nehu'za ruotge ne'za nenaku nehaza vahe zamavareno agonarega vu'za nehianki, ame huta ko vi'o.
“Yes, he is ahead of you,” they answered. “Hurry now, for today he has come to the city because the people have a sacrifice on the high place.
13 Hagi ne'zama nenaku agonarega mareorinesigeta kumapima ufresuta'a ome tutagiha huntegaha'e. Hagi zamagima hu'nea vahe'mo'za ne'zana one avega ante'zma mani'nenageno uhanatino asomu kea ome hutena negahaze. Hagi hantaka huta vanuta'a ome kegaha'e.
As soon as you enter the city, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests will eat. Go up at once; you will find him.”
14 Hagi zanagra kumapi ufreke nevuke, Samueli'a agonarega mono'ma nehaza kumatega vunaku ne-egeke ome ke'na'e.
So Saul and his servant went up toward the city, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
15 Hagi Soli'ma ome'negeno ko oki Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino,
Now on the day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had revealed to Samuel,
16 okina ama ana knare Benzameni mopafinti mago nera hunta'nenkeno kagrite egahie. Hagi kagra masave frentenka azeri ruotage hugeno Israeli vaheni'arera kva mani'neno Filistia vahe'mo'zama zamazeri havizama nehaza zamazampintira zamagu vazigahie. Na'ankure zavi krafagezmia Nagra nentahi'na vaheni'a antahinezamue.
“At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him leader over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
17 Hagi Samueli'ma Solima negegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, E'i'na neku kasami'noankino agra vahe'nirera kegava hugahie.
When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.”
18 Higeno Soli'ma kuma kahante Samuelima tutagiha hunenteno'a antahigeno, Inantega avune ne'mofo nona me'ne huno Samuelina antahige'ne?
Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
19 Higeno Samueli'a kenona hunteno, Nagra ama'na avune nera mani'noanki, ete vugeta agonarega marerimaneno. Hagi menina nagrane ne'zana nenenka oki nantera katra'nena vugahane. Hagi kagra'ma kagesa antahi'nana zantamina kasamivaregahue.
“I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And when I send you off in the morning, I will tell you all that is in your heart.
20 Hagi donkima fananema higeno 3'a knama evu'nea zankura kagesa ontahio, ko hake'za erifore hu'naze. Hagi menina Israeli vahe'mo'za kagri'ene negafa nagaku'ene amuhara nehaze.
As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. And upon whom is all the desire of Israel, if not upon you and all your father’s house?”
21 Hagi Soli'a kenona amanage hu'ne, Israeli naga nofipina Benzameni nagara osi naga manizageno, ana agau'afina nagri naga'mo'za osi'a naga mani'none. Hagi nahigenka e'inahu kea nehane?
Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjamite from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of Benjamin? So why would you say such a thing to me?”
22 Hagi Samueli'a, Soline eri'za ne'anena nezanavreno vuno vahe'ma kehige'za emani'naza nompi ufreno, ese trate ome zanante'ne. Hagi anampinka 30'a vahe naza mani'naze.
Then Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them into the hall, and seated them in the place of honor among those who were invited—about thirty in all.
23 Hagi Samueli'a ne'zama negrea nera asamino, rure antese huo hu'nama kasami'noa afu ame'a erinka eme namio.
And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion I gave you and told you to set aside.”
24 Higeno ne'zama negrea ne'mo'a afu aga'a erino Soli avuga eme ante'ne. Hagi Samueli'a Solina amanage huno asami'ne, Vahetamima kema nehu'na, kagri suzane hu'na antegante'noanki, amama zamagima huge'za aza vahe'ene ne'zana no. Higeno Soli'a ana zupa Samueli'ene ne'zana ne'ne.
So the cook picked up the leg and what was attached to it and set it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “Here is what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat, for it has been kept for you for this occasion, from the time I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul dined with Samuel that day.
25 Hagi anantetira kumate'ma eramizageno'a Samueli'a nomofo agofetu Soli'enena keaga huteno, noma mase'niazana retro huntegeno mase'ne.
And after they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof of his house.
26 Hagi kotu avame Samueli'a otino Solina kehuno, Otige'na kazeri retrotra hanena kumakarega vuo. Higeno Soli'a otino Samueli'ene magoka kantega vu'na'e.
They got up early in the morning, and just before dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way!” So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went outside together.
27 Hagi kumapinti'ma utiraminaku'ma nehu'za Samueli'a Solina amanage huno asami'ne, ko huntegeno eri'za nekamo'a tatreno vugoteno nevina, kagra amare osi'agna nagrane mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamo nasami'nea kea huama hu'na kasami'neno.
As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant went on.
