I Samuelis 10
1 tulit autem Samuhel lenticulam olei et effudit super caput eius et deosculatus eum ait ecce unxit te Dominus super hereditatem suam in principem
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD has anointed you to be captain over his inheritance?
2 cum abieris hodie a me invenies duos viros iuxta sepulchrum Rachel in finibus Beniamin in meridie dicentque tibi inventae sunt asinae ad quas ieras perquirendas et intermissis pater tuus asinis sollicitus est pro vobis et dicit quid faciam de filio meo
When you are departed from me to day, then you shall find two men by Rachel’s sepulcher in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went to seek are found: and, see, your father has left the care of the asses, and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 cumque abieris inde et ultra transieris et veneris ad quercum Thabor invenient te ibi tres viri ascendentes ad Deum in Bethel unus portans tres hedos et alius tres tortas panis et alius portans lagoenam vini
Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet you three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 cumque te salutaverint dabunt tibi duos panes et accipies de manu eorum
And they will salute you, and give you two loaves of bread; which you shall receive of their hands.
5 post haec venies in collem Domini ubi est statio Philisthinorum et cum ingressus fueris ibi urbem obviam habebis gregem prophetarum descendentium de excelso et ante eos psalterium et tympanum et tibiam et citharam ipsosque prophetantes
After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when you are come thither to the city, that you shall meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
6 et insiliet in te spiritus Domini et prophetabis cum eis et mutaberis in virum alium
And the Spirit of the LORD will come on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
7 quando ergo evenerint signa haec omnia tibi fac quaecumque invenerit manus tua quia Dominus tecum est
And let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion serve you; for God is with you.
8 et descendes ante me in Galgala ego quippe descendam ad te ut offeras oblationem et immoles victimas pacificas septem diebus expectabis donec veniam ad te et ostendam tibi quae facias
And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shall you tarry, till I come to you, and show you what you shall do.
9 itaque cum avertisset umerum suum ut abiret a Samuhele inmutavit ei Deus cor aliud et venerunt omnia signa haec in die illa
And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 veneruntque ad praedictum collem et ecce cuneus prophetarum obvius ei et insilivit super eum spiritus Dei et prophetavit in medio eorum
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 videntes autem omnes qui noverant eum heri et nudius tertius quod esset cum prophetis et prophetaret dixerunt ad invicem quaenam res accidit filio Cis num et Saul in prophetis
And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 responditque alius ad alterum dicens et quis pater eorum propterea versum est in proverbium num et Saul inter prophetas
And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 cessavit autem prophetare et venit ad excelsum
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 dixitque patruus Saul ad eum et ad puerum eius quo abistis qui responderunt quaerere asinas quas cum non repperissemus venimus ad Samuhelem
And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
15 et dixit ei patruus suus indica mihi quid dixerit tibi Samuhel
And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray you, what Samuel said to you.
16 et ait Saul ad patruum suum indicavit nobis quia inventae essent asinae de sermone autem regni non indicavit ei quem locutus illi fuerat Samuhel
And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.
17 et convocavit Samuhel populum ad Dominum in Maspha
And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh;
18 et ait ad filios Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ego eduxi Israhel de Aegypto et erui vos de manu Aegyptiorum et de manu omnium regum qui adfligebant vos
And said to the children of Israel, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 vos autem hodie proiecistis Deum vestrum qui solus salvavit vos de universis malis et tribulationibus vestris et dixistis nequaquam sed regem constitue super nos nunc ergo state coram Domino per tribus vestras et per familias
And you have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 et adplicuit Samuhel omnes tribus Israhel et cecidit sors tribus Beniamin
And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 et adplicuit tribum Beniamin et cognationes eius et cecidit cognatio Metri et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis quaesierunt ergo eum et non est inventus
When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 et consuluerunt post haec Dominum utrumnam venturus esset illuc responditque Dominus ecce absconditus est domi
Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold he has hid himself among the stuff.
23 cucurrerunt itaque et tulerunt eum inde stetitque in medio populi et altior fuit universo populo ab umero et sursum
And they ran and fetched him there: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 et ait Samuhel ad omnem populum certe videtis quem elegit Dominus quoniam non sit similis ei in omni populo et clamavit cunctus populus et ait vivat rex
And Samuel said to all the people, See you him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
25 locutus est autem Samuhel ad populum legem regni et scripsit in libro et reposuit coram Domino et dimisit Samuhel omnem populum singulos in domum suam
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 sed et Saul abiit in domum suam in Gabaath et abiit cum eo pars exercitus quorum tetigerat Deus corda
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
27 filii vero Belial dixerunt num salvare nos poterit iste et despexerunt eum et non adtulerunt ei munera ille vero dissimulabat se audire
But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace.
