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?

And Samuel taketh the vial of the oil, and poureth on his head, and kisseth him, and saith, 'Is it not because Jehovah hath appointed thee over His inheritance for leader?

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?

In thy going to-day from me — then thou hast found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said unto thee, The asses have been found which thou hast gone to seek; and lo, thy father hath left the matter of the asses, and hath sorrowed for you, saying, What do I do for 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.

'And thou hast passed on thence, and beyond, and hast come in unto the oak of Tabor, and found thee there have three men going up unto God to Beth-El, one bearing three kids, and one bearing three cakes of bread, and one bearing a bottle 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 have asked of thee of welfare, and given to thee two loaves, and thou hast received 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;

'Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are 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 prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to another man;

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 it hath been, when these signs come to thee — do for thyself as thy hand findeth, for God [is] with thee.

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.

'And thou hast gone down before me to Gilgal, and lo, I am going down unto thee, to cause to ascend burnt-offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days thou dost wait till my coming in unto thee, and I have made known to thee that which thou dost 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.

And it hath been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turneth to him another heart, and all these signs come on 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 they come in thither to the height, and lo, a band of prophets — to meet him, and prosper over him doth the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth in their midst.

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?

And it cometh to pass, all his acquaintance heretofore, see, and lo, with prophets he hath prophesied, and the people say one unto another, 'What [is] this hath happened 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?

And a man thence answereth and saith, 'And who [is] their father?' therefore it hath been for a simile, 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'

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

And he ceaseth from prophesying, and cometh in to the high place,

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.

and the uncle of Saul saith unto him, and unto his young man, 'Whither went ye?' and he saith, 'To seek the asses; and we see that they are not, and we come in unto Samuel.'

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

And the uncle of Saul saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to 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.

And Saul saith unto his uncle, 'He certainly declared to us that the asses were found;' and of the matter of the kingdom he hath not declared to him that which Samuel said.

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

And Samuel calleth the people unto Jehovah to Mizpeh,

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 saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms who are oppressing 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.

and ye to-day have rejected your God, who [is] Himself your saviour out of all your evils and your distresses, and ye say, 'Nay, but — a king thou dost set over us; and now, station yourselves before Jehovah, 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.

And Samuel bringeth near the whole tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,

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.

and he bringeth near the tribe of Benjamin by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he hath not been 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.

And they ask again at Jehovah, 'Hath the man yet come hither?' and Jehovah saith, 'Lo, he hath been hidden near the vessels.'

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.

And they run and bring him thence, and he stationed himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any of the people from his shoulder 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.

And Samuel saith unto all the people, 'Have ye seen him on whom Jehovah hath fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?' And all the people shout, and say, '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.

And Samuel speaketh unto the people the right of the kingdom, and writeth in a book, and placeth before Jehovah; and Samuel sendeth all the people away, each to his house.

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.

And also Saul hath gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force go with him whose heart God hath 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.

and the sons of worthlessness have said, 'What! this one doth save us!' and they despise him, and have not brought to him a present; and he is as one deaf.
