1 Samoela 10
1 Rinambe’ i Samoele amy zao ty paki-menake naho nadoa’e amy añambone’ey vaho norofa’e, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Tsy Iehovà hao ty nañory azo ho mpifeleke i lova’ey?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not Jehovah anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of Jehovah, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that Jehovah has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
2 Ihe mienga ahy te anito, le hañisake ondaty roe marine ty kibori’ i Rakele añ’ efe-tane’ i Beniamine e Tselzà eo; le hanao ty hoe ama’o iereo: Fa nirendreke o borìke nihitrife’o ho tsoeheñeo, vaho fa napon-drae’o ty fimarimariha’e iareo, te mone ihe ty imarimariha’e, ami’ty hoe, Hataoko akore i anakoy?
When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'
3 Hionjoñe mb’eo irehe le ie pok’ añ-kile’ i Tabore ro hifanampe amy t’indaty telo mionjomb’ aman’ Añahare e Betele mb’eo, minday vik’ose telo ty raike, naho minday mofo telo ty raike vaho mitintiñe zonjon-divay ty raike.
Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Hañontane azo iereo vaho hanolotse azo boko-mofo roe; rambeso am-pità’e eo izay.
And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
5 Ie añe, le higodañe am-bohin’ Añahare irehe amy toem-pirai-lian-dahin-defon-te-Pilistiy eo; aa ihe fa nigodañe amy rovay, le hifanalaka ami’ty firimboñam-pitoky mizotso boak’ an-kaboañe ey, hiaoloa’ ty jejo-bory naho ty fikorintsañe naho ty soly naho ty marovany le hitoky iereo.
After that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.
6 Ho entoan’ Arofo’ Iehovà an-kaozara’e irehe le hiharoa’o fitoky vaho hiova ho ondaty hafa.
And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
7 Ie tendrek’ azo i viloñe rezay, le anò ze zoem-pità’o amy te mindre ama’o t’i Andrianañahare.
And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8 Hiaolo ahy mb’e Gilgale mb’eo irehe; le hizotso mb’ama’o mb’eo iraho hañenga horoañe naho hisoroñe naho hañenga fanintsiñañe: hitofa ao fito andro irehe am-para’ te ifanampeako hitaroñe ama’o ty hanoe’o.
You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."
9 Aa ie niamboho, hienga i Samoele, le tinolon’ Añahare arofo vao; vaho nitendrek’ amy andro zay i viloñe iaby rey.
When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
10 Ie nigodañe am-bohitse ey, inge ty mpirimbom-pitoky nifanalaka ama’e; le nirorote’ i Arofon’ Añaharey re vaho nitrao-pitoky am’ iereo.
And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Ie nioni’ o mpahafohiñe Azeo te heheke! nitoky miharo amo mpitokio, le hoe ty nifanaontsia’ ondatio: Ino ze o nivotrak’ amy ana’ i Kiseio? Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12 Nanoiñe izay ty mpiam’ iereo ami’ty hoe: Aa ia ka ty rae’ iareo? aa le nanjare razan-drehake ty hoe: Mpiamo mpitokio ka hao t’i Saole?
One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13 Ie nihenefe’e i fitokiañey le niheo mb’ an-toetse an-kaboam-beo.
And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
14 Le hoe ty rahalahin-drae’ i Saole ama’e naho amy mpitoro’ey: Nimb’ aia v’inahareoo? Le hoe re: Nipay i borìke rey zahay; aa ie nifohiñe te tsy ho rendreke, le nomb’ amy Samoele mb’eo.
then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
15 Le hoe ty rahalahin-drae’ i Saole: Ehe, atalilio amako: Ino ty nisaontsia’ i Samoele?
Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
16 Le hoe t’i Saole amy rahalahin-drae’ey: Tinaro’e ama’ay an-tsaontsy mora te nirendreke i borìke rey. Fe tsy nabeo’e ama’e i fifeheañe tinaro’ i Samoeley.
Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
17 Kinoi’ i Samoele ondatio hifanontoñe amy Iehovà e Mitspè ao.
Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah;
18 Le hoe re amo ana’ Israeleo: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Navotako amy Mitsraime t’Israele, toe navotsoko am-pità’ o nte-Mitsraimeo, vaho am-pità’ o fifeheañe namorekeke anahareoo.
and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:'
19 Fe naforintse’ areo anindroany t’i Andrianañahare’ areo mpandrombak’ anahareo amo hankàñeo naho amo maha-ampohek’ anahareoo: vaho nanao ama’e ty hoe: Aiy! fa mpanjaka ty hajado’o hifehe anay. Ie amy zao, miatrefa amy Iehovà am-pifokoa’e, naho añ’ arivo’e.
but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands."
20 Aa le nampañarinea’ i Samoele iaby o fifokoa’ Israeleo; rinambe t’i Beniamine.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 Nampañarinea’e ty fifokoa’ i Beniamine amo hasavereña’eo, le rinambe ty hasavereña’ i Matrý; vaho rinambe’e t’i Saole ana’ i Kise; aa le pinay re fa tsy nioniñe.
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Nañontanea’ iareo indraike t’Iehovà: Fa pok’atoy hao indatiy? Le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà, Ingo ie mietak’ amo kilankañeo.
Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" Jehovah answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
23 Aa le nihitrihitry mb’eo iereo nangalak’ aze; ie nijohañe añivo’ ondatio, le niabo te amy ze ondaty eo, mifototse an-tsoro’e mañambone.
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 Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ ondaty iabio: Hehe ty jinobo’ Iehovà, vaho tsy ama’ ondaty iabio ty mañirinkiriñe aze. Le nipazake ty hoe ondaty iabio: Lava havelo o mpanjakao.
Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
25 Tinaro’ i Samoele am’ ondatio amy zao ty sata’ o fifeheañeo naho sinoki’e am-boke, vaho nahaja’e añatrefa’ Iehovà. Nampolie’ i Samoele amy zao ondatio songa mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo.
Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before Jehovah. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
26 Le nimb’añ’ akiba’e mb’e Gibeà ka t’i Saole; vaho nindre ama’e mb’eo o fanalolahy nedrèn’ Añahareo.
Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts Jehovah had touched.
27 Fa hoe ka o tsivokatseo: Aia ty haharombaha’ ondatio antika? Nisirikae’ iareo, ie tsy nañendesañe ravoravo, f’ie nitàm-pianjiñañe avao.
But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
