1 Hamuera 10

1 Katahi ka mau a Hamuera ki te pounamu hinu, ringihia ana e ia ki runga ki tona matenga; na ka kihi ia i a ia, ka mea, Ehara ianei i te mea na Ihowa koe i whakawahi hei rangatira mo tona wahi tupu?

Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not YHWH anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of YHWH, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that YHWH has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.

2 Ka mawehe atu koe i ahau aianei, ka tupono koe ki etahi tangata tokorua i te taha o te tanumanga o Rahera, i te rohe o Pineamine, i Tereta; a tera raua e mea ki a koe, Kua kitea nga kaihe i haere na koe ki te rapu: na, ko tou papa, mahue ake nga whakaaro ki nga kaihe, kei te manukanuka hoki tera ki a korua, e mea ana, Me pehea ahau ki taku tama?

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 Katahi ka haere tonu atu koe i reira, a ka tae ki te oki o Taporo, ka tupono ki a koe etahi tangata tokotoru e haere ana ki runga, ki te Atua, ki Peteere, e toru nga kuao koati e kawea ana e tetahi, e toru nga rohi taro e kawea ana e tetahi, a ko tetahi e mau ana i te pounamu waina.

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 Na ka oha ratou ki a koe, ka homai ano hoki etahi taro e rua ki a koe, a me tango e koe i o ratou ringa.

And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.

5 Muri iho i tera ka tae ki te puke o te Atua, kei reira nei nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini: a, i tou taenga ki reira, ki te pa, na ka tutaki koe ki te ropu poropiti e haere iho ana i te wahi tiketike, me te hatere, me te timipera, me te putorino, me te hapa hoki ki mua i a ratou; me te poropiti ano hoki ratou;

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 Na ka puta kaha mai te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a koe, a ka poropiti tahi koutou, a koe me ratou, a ka puta tou ahua hei tangata ke.

And the Spirit of YHWH will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.

7 Me i reira, ki te puta ena tohu ki a koe, meatia e koe te mea e tupono atu ai tou ringa no te mea kei a koe te Atua.

And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.

8 Na, me haere koe i mua i ahau ki Kirikara; na, tena ahau te haere atu na ki raro, ki a koe, ki te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, ki te patu i nga patunga mo te pai: kia whitu nga ra e tatari ai koe kia tae atu ahau ki a koe, katahi ka whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe tau e mea ai.

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 Koia ano, kei te tahuritanga o tona tuara, he mawehe atu i a Hamuera, ka homai e te Atua he ngakau ke mona! a puta katoa ana aua tohu i taua rangi ano.

When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.

10 A, no to raua taenga ki reira, ki te puke, na ko tetahi ropu poropiti kua tutaki ki a ia: ko te tino putanga mai o te wairua o te Atua ki runga ki a ia, na poropiti ana ia i roto i a ratou.

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 A, no te kitenga o te hunga katoa i mohio ki a ia i mua ake, na kei roto ia i nga poropiti e poropiti ana; katahi ka mea te iwi tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tenei kua puta nei ki te tama a Kihi? Kei roto ano koia a Haora i nga poropiti?

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 Na ka whakahoki tetahi o taua wahi, ka mea, Ha, ko wai to ratou papa? Koia te whakatauki nei, Kei roto ano koia a Haora i nga poropiti?

One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

13 A, i te mutunga o tana poropiti, ka haere ia ki te wahi tiketike.

And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,

14 Na ka mea te matua keke o Haora ki a raua ko tana tangata, I haere korua ki hea? A ka ki atu ia, Ki te rapu i nga kaihe; a, i to maua mohiotanga kahore ano ratou i kitea, haere ana maua ki a Hamuera.

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 Ano ra ko te matua keke o Haora, Tena ra, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, i pehea a Hamuera ki a korua.

Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."

16 Na ka mea a Haora ki tona matua keke, I ata whakaaturia mai e ia ki a maua kua kitea nga kaihe. Otiia ko te mea o te kingitanga, ko ta Hamuera i korero ra, kihai tera i whakaaturia ki a ia.

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 Katahi ka karangarangatia te iwi e Hamuera ki a Ihowa ki Mihipa;

Samuel called the people together to YHWH to Mizpah;

18 Na ka mea ia ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Naku a Iharaira i kawe mai i Ihipa, naku hoki koutou i whakaora i roto i te ringa o nga Ihipiana, i te ringa ano o nga rangatiratanga katoa, i whakatupu kino i a koutou.

and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says YHWH, 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 Na kua whakakahore nei koutou i tenei ra ki to koutou Atua, e whakaora nei i a koutou i roto i o koutou he katoa, i o koutou mate; a kua mea koutou ki a ia, Engari, me whakarite e koe he kingi mo matou: Na reira, me tu koutou inaianei ki te aroa ro o Ihowa, o koutou iwi, o koutou mano.

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 YHWH by your tribes, and by your thousands."

20 Katahi a Hamuera ka mea i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira kia whakatata mai; na ka tangohia ko te iwi o Pineamine.

So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

21 Na ka mea ia i te iwi o Pineamine kia whakatata mai, tenei hapu, tenei hapu, a ka tangohia ko te hapu o Matari; na ka tangohia ko te hapu o Matari; na ka tangohia ko Haora, ko te tama a Kihi; no ta ratou rapunga ia i a ia, kahore i kitea.

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 Na reira ka ui ano ratou ki a Ihowa, Tena ano ranei he tangata kia tae mai ki konei? A ka whakautua e Ihowa, Na, kei roto ia i nga mea na e piri ana.

Therefore they asked of YHWH further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" YHWH answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."

23 Na ko to ratou rerenga, ka tikina atu ia i reira; a, no tona tunga i waenganui i te iwi, teitei ake ia i te iwi katoa, i ona pokohiwi ahu ake.

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 Na ka mea a Hamuera ki te iwi katoa, Kia kite koutou i ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai; kahore hoki he rite mona o te iwi katoa. Na ka hamama te iwi katoa, ka mea, Kia ora te kingi.

Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom YHWH has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."

25 Katahi ka korerotia e Hamuera ki te iwi te tikanga o te kingitanga, a tuhituhia ana e ia ki te pukapuka, whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ka tonoa e Hamuera te iwi katoa kia haere ki tona whare, ki tona whare.

Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before YHWH. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place

26 Me Haora ano i haere ia ki tona whare ki Kipea; i haere tahi ano i a ia tetahi ropu tangata i whakapakia nei o ratou ngakau e Ihowa.

Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts YHWH had touched.

27 Tera ano ia etahi tama a Periara, i mea, Me pewhea e ora ai tatou i tenei tangata? Na whakahaweatia ana ia e ratou, kihai ano i kawea he hakari e ratou ki a ia. Otiia whakarongo puku tonu ia.

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.
