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 took Samuel a flask of oil, and poured out upon his head, and kissed him, —and said—Is it not, that Yahweh hath anointed thee over his inheritance, as leader?
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 thou departest, to-day, from me, then shalt thou find two men by the grave of Rachel, within the boundary of Benjamin, in Zelzah, —and they will say unto thee, The asses are found, which thou wentest to seek, and lo! thy father hath abandoned caring for the asses, and is concerned for you, saying, What shall I do for 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 shalt thou pass on quickly from thence onwards, and come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there shall find thee there, three men going up unto God, at Bethel, —one, carrying three kids, and, another, carrying three cakes of bread, and, another, carrying a skin of wine;
4 Hañontane azo iereo vaho hanolotse azo boko-mofo roe; rambeso am-pità’e eo izay.
then will they ask thee, of thy welfare, —and give thee two cakes of bread, which thou shalt receive at 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, shalt thou come unto the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines, —and it shall be, as thou comest in thither into the city, thou shalt light upon a band of prophets, coming down from the high place, and, before them, a harp, and a timbrel, and a flute, and a lyre, they having been moved to prophesy.
6 Ho entoan’ Arofo’ Iehovà an-kaozara’e irehe le hiharoa’o fitoky vaho hiova ho ondaty hafa.
Then will come suddenly upon thee, the Spirit of Yahweh, and thou shalt be moved to prophesy with them, —and shalt be changed into another man.
7 Ie tendrek’ azo i viloñe rezay, le anò ze zoem-pità’o amy te mindre ama’o t’i Andrianañahare.
And it shall be, when these signs shall come unto thee, then act thou for thyself, as thou shalt find occasion, for, God, is with thee.
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.
And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal, for lo! I am coming down unto thee, to offer up ascending-offerings, to sacrifice peace-offerings, —seven days, shalt thou tarry, until I come unto thee, then will I let thee know what thou shalt do.
9 Aa ie niamboho, hienga i Samoele, le tinolon’ Añahare arofo vao; vaho nitendrek’ amy andro zay i viloñe iaby rey.
And so it was, that, when he turned away to depart from Samuel, God gave him another 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, when they came thither to the hill, lo! a band of prophets coming to meet him, —then came suddenly upon him, the Spirit of God, and he was moved to prophesy in their midst.
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?
And it came to pass, that, all who knew him aforetime, looked, and lo! with the prophets, he did prophesy. So the people said, one to another—What, now, hath befallen the son of Kish? Is, even Saul, 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?
Then responded one of that place, and said, But who is, their father? For this cause, it became a proverb, Is, even Saul, among the prophets?
13 Ie nihenefe’e i fitokiañey le niheo mb’ an-toetse an-kaboam-beo.
And, when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
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 said Saul’s uncle unto him, and unto his young man—Whither have ye been? And he said, To seek the asses, and, when they were nowhere, to be seen, we came unto Samuel.
15 Le hoe ty rahalahin-drae’ i Saole: Ehe, atalilio amako: Ino ty nisaontsia’ i Samoele?
And Saul’s uncle said, —Do tell me, I pray thee, 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.
And Saul said unto his uncle, He, told, us that the asses were found, —but, as to the matter of the kingdom, he told him not what Samuel had said.
17 Kinoi’ i Samoele ondatio hifanontoñe amy Iehovà e Mitspè ao.
Then Samuel called out the people, unto Yahweh, at 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 said unto the sons of Israel—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: I myself, brought up Israel, out of Egypt, —and rescued you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that distressed 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.
Yet, ye, to-day, have rejected your God, who, himself, hath been giving you salvation from all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him: A king, shalt thou set over us, —Now, therefore, present yourselves before Yahweh, by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 Aa le nampañarinea’ i Samoele iaby o fifokoa’ Israeleo; rinambe t’i Beniamine.
And, when Samuel had brought near all the tribes of Israel, then was taken the tribe of Benjamin.
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.
And, when he had brought near the tribe of Benjamin, by their families, then was taken the family of Matri, —and, when he had brought near the family of Matri, man by man, then was taken Saul the son of Kish; so they sought him, but he was not to be found.
22 Nañontanea’ iareo indraike t’Iehovà: Fa pok’atoy hao indatiy? Le hoe ty natoi’ Iehovà, Ingo ie mietak’ amo kilankañeo.
Then asked they again of Yahweh, Hath there yet to come in hither a man? And Yahweh said, Lo! he, hath hid himself among the stores.
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.
So they ran, and fetched him thence, and, when he presented himself in the midst of the people, then was he [seen to be] taller than any of the people, from his shoulders and upwards.
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.
And Samuel said unto all the people—Have ye seen him whom Yahweh hath chosen, that there is none like him, among all the people? And 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 declared unto the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a scroll, and laid it up before Yahweh. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his own house.
26 Le nimb’añ’ akiba’e mb’e Gibeà ka t’i Saole; vaho nindre ama’e mb’eo o fanalolahy nedrèn’ Añahareo.
Yea, even Saul, went to his own house, at Gibeah, —and the valiant men whose heart God had moved went with him.
27 Fa hoe ka o tsivokatseo: Aia ty haharombaha’ ondatio antika? Nisirikae’ iareo, ie tsy nañendesañe ravoravo, f’ie nitàm-pianjiñañe avao.
But, abandoned men, said—How can this one save us? So they treated him with contempt, and brought him no present, —but he was as one that was deaf.
