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.
There was a rich and influential man whose name was Kish. He belonged to the tribe descended from Benjamin. Kish was the son of Abiel and the grandson of Zeror. He was from the family of Becorath and from the clan of Aphiah.
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.
Kish had a son whose name was Saul. He was more handsome than any of the other Israeli men, and he was a head/foot taller than any of the other Israeli men.
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, some of Kish’s female donkeys wandered off. So Kish told Saul, “Take one of my servants with you, and go and search 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 did that. He took a servant, and they walked through the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and then they went through the areas named Shalishah and Shaalim, and then they went through all the area where the descendants of Benjamin lived, but they could not find the donkeys.
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.
Finally, they came to the area of Zuph. Then Saul said to the servant, “Let’s go back home. If we do not do that, 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.
But the servant said, “I have another idea [IDM]. There is one of God’s prophets who lives in this town. People respect him very much, because everything he predicts comes true. Let’s go [talk] to him. Perhaps he can tell us where we can go [to find the donkeys].”
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.
Saul replied to the servant, “If we go talk with him, [we should give a gift to him, but] what can we give to him? We have no more food in our sacks. Do we have anything else to give to him?”
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 replied, “Look [at this]! I have a small silver coin. I can give this to him, and then he will tell us where to go [to find the donkeys].”
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).
Saul said, “Okay, let’s go [talk to him.”] So they went to the town where the prophet lived. As they were going up the hill into the town, they met some young women who were coming out of the town to get some water [from a well]. One of them asked the women, “Is the seer in the town [today]?” [They said that because] previously, if people [in Israel] wanted a message from God, they would say, “Let’s go to the seer,” and people who now are called prophets were at that time called ‘those who see [(visions from God/all that God sees)].’
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.
11 Hagi agonarega umarerike rankumatega nevakeno ana kumapinti tifinaku atineramiza mofa'nezaga ome zamantahigeke anage hu'na'e, avune nera mani'neo?
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.
The women replied, “Yes, he is in the town. In fact, he is [walking on the road] ahead of you. He has just arrived in the town, because the people are going to offer a sacrifice on the altar where the people gather [to worship God].
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.
If you go quickly, you will [have time to talk to him] before he goes there. The people who have been invited will not start eating until he arrives there and (blesses/asks God to bless) the sacrifice.”
14 Hagi zanagra kumapi ufreke nevuke, Samueli'a agonarega mono'ma nehaza kumatega vunaku ne-egeke ome ke'na'e.
So Saul and the servant entered the town. As they went through the gates, they saw Samuel as he was coming toward them, on the way to where people were going to offer sacrifices.
15 Hagi Soli'ma ome'negeno ko oki Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino,
On the previous day, Yahweh had told 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 to you a man from the land where the descendants of Benjamin live. Pour olive oil on his [head] to [indicate that he will] be the leader of my Israeli people. I have seen that my people are suffering [because the Philistine people are oppressing them], and I have heard my people as they have called out to me [for help]. The man on whose [head] you pour olive oil will rescue my people from the [MTY] Philistine people.”
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, Yahweh said to him, “This is the man I told you about yesterday! He is the one who will rule 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 saw Samuel as he was sitting at the town gateway [but he did not know that it was Samuel]. He went over to him and asked him, “Can you tell me, where is the house of the man who sees [(visions from God/all that God sees)]?”
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.
Samuel replied, “I am that man. Go ahead of me with your servant to the place where the people make sacrifices. Both of you will eat with me today. Tomorrow morning I will tell you what you are wanting to know, and then I will send you home.
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.
Also, do not worry any more about those donkeys that wandered away three days ago. (Someone has found them/They have been found). But [what you need to know is that] it is you and your family that all the Israeli people are wanting!” [RHQ]
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, “I am from the tribe of Benjamin [RHQ]. That is the smallest tribe in Israel [RHQ]! And my family is the least important family in our tribe! So why are you talking to me like this, [about the Israeli people wanting me and my family]?”
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 brought Saul and the servant into the big dining room, and told them to sit at the head [of the table, indicating that he was] honoring them more than he was honoring the 30 people who had been invited.
23 Hagi Samueli'a ne'zama negrea nera asamino, rure antese huo hu'nama kasami'noa afu ame'a erinka eme namio.
Then Samuel told the cook, “Bring to me the special piece [of meat] that I 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 brought the leg and the meat that was on it, and set it in front of Saul, [even though those portions were for only the priest to eat]. Samuel said to Saul, “Start eating it. I told the cook to save this for you, so that you could eat it at this time, when all these people whom I invited are here.” So Saul and Samuel ate together.
25 Hagi anantetira kumate'ma eramizageno'a Samueli'a nomofo agofetu Soli'enena keaga huteno, noma mase'niazana retro huntegeno mase'ne.
After they finished eating, they returned to the town. Then Samuel took Saul up to the [flat] roof [of his house], and fixed a bed for him.
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.
As the sun was rising the next morning, Samuel called up to Saul, “Get up! It is time for me to send you on the road back home.” So Saul got up, and [later] Samuel and Saul left the house 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.
When they got to the edge of the town, Samuel told Saul to send his servant ahead. After the servant left, Samuel said to Saul, “Stay here for a few minutes, in order that I can give you a message I received from God.”
