1 USamuyeli 10

1 USamuweli wasethatha umfuma wamafutha, wawathela ekhanda lakhe, wamanga, wathi: Angithi kungoba iNkosi ikugcobele ukuthi ube ngumbusi phezu kwelifa layo?

And he took Samuel [the] flask of oil and he poured [it] on head his and he kissed him and he said ¿ In-deed he has anointed you Yahweh (to ruler over people his over of Israel and you she will retain among a people Yahweh and you you deliver him from [the] hand of enemies its from round about and this of you [will be] the sign he has anointed you Yahweh *X*) over inheritance his to ruler.

2 Ekusukeni kwakho kimi lamuhla uzafica abantu ababili engcwabeni likaRasheli emngceleni wakoBhenjamini eZeliza; njalo bazakuthi kuwe: Obabhemikazi obuyebadinga sebetholiwe, khangela-ke, uyihlo useyekele udaba labobabhemikazi, usenqinekela lina esithi: Ngizayenzelani indodana yami?

When going you this day from with me and you will find two men near [the] tomb of Rachel in [the] territory of Benjamin at Zelzah and they will say to you they have been found the she-asses which you went to seek and there! he has abandoned father your [the] matter of the she-asses and he is anxious to you saying what? will I do for son my.

3 Nxa usudlule lapho waya phambili, uzafika esihlahleni se-okhi seThabhori; lalapho uzahlangana labantu abathathu besenyuka besiya kuNkulunkulu eBhetheli, omunye ephethe amazinyane amathathu, lomunye ephethe amaqebelengwana ezinkwa amathathu, lomunye ephethe imbodlela yewayini.

And you will pass on from there and beyond and you will come to [the] great tree of Tabor and they will find you there three men going up to God Beth-el one [will be] carrying - three kids and one [will be] carrying three round loaves of bread and one [will be] carrying a skin of wine.

4 Bazakubuza ngempilo, bakunike izinkwa ezimbili, ozazithatha esandleni sabo.

And they will ask of you to welfare and they will give to you two bread[s] and you will take [them] from hand their.

5 Emva kwalokho uzafika eqaqeni lukaNkulunkulu lapho okuhlala khona ibutho lenqaba yamaFilisti; kuzakuthi-ke, nxa ufika lapho emzini uzahlangana lexuku labaprofethi besehla endaweni ephakemeyo, laphambi kwabo kulogubhu lwezintambo, lesigubhu, lomhlanga, lechacho, beprofetha.

After thus you will come Gibeah of God where [are] there [the] garrisons of [the] Philistines and it will be when coming you there the city and you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place and [will be] before them lyre and tambourine and flute and harp and they [will be] prophesying.

6 LoMoya kaNkulunkulu uzafika ngamandla phezu kwakho, uprofethe kanye labo, uphendulwe ube ngomunye umuntu.

And it will rush on you [the] spirit of Yahweh and you will prophesy with them and you will be changed into a man another.

7 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho lezizibonakaliso zikufikela, wena wenze lokho isandla sakho esizakuthola, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulawe.

And it will be that (they will come *Q(k)*) the signs these to you do for yourself [that] which it will find hand your for God [is] with you.

8 Uzakwehla phambi kwami uye eGiligali; khangela-ke, ngizakwehlela kuwe ukuze nginikele iminikelo yokutshiswa, ngihlabe imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula. Uzalinda insuku eziyisikhombisa ngize ngifike kuwe, ngikutshele lokho ozakwenza.

And you will go down before me Gilgal and there! I [am] about to come down to you to offer up burnt offerings to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings seven days may you wait until come I to you and I will make known to you [that] which you will do.

9 Kwasekusithi lapho esefulathele ukuthi asuke kuSamuweli, uNkulunkulu wamnika enye inhliziyo; lazo zonke lezizibonakaliso zeza mhlalokho.

And it was when turned he shoulder his to go from with Samuel and he changed for him God a heart another and they came all the signs these on the day that.

10 Lapho sebefikile khona eqaqeni, khangela, ixuku labaprofethi lamhlangabeza; uMoya kaNkulunkulu wasefika ngamandla phezu kwakhe, waprofetha phakathi kwabo.

And they came there Gibeah towards and there! a company of prophets to meet him and it rushed on him [the] spirit of God and he prophesied in midst of them.

11 Kwasekusithi bonke ababemazi mandulo bebona ukuthi, khangela, uprofetha labaprofethi, abantu bathi, omunye komunye: Kuyini lokhu okwehlele indodana kaKishi? Kanti uSawuli laye uphakathi kwabaprofethi?

And it was every [one who] knew him from yesterday three days ago and they saw and there! with prophets [he is] prophesying and it said the people each to neighbor his what? this has it happened to [the] son of Kish ¿ also [is] Saul among the prophets.

12 Kwasekuphendula umuntu owakhona wathi: Kanti ngubani uyise wabo? Ngakho kwasekusiba yisaga ukuthi: Kanti uSawuli laye uphakathi kwabaprofethi?

And he answered a man from there and he said and who? [is] father their there-fore it became a proverb ¿ also [is] Saul among the prophets.

13 Eseqedile ukuprofetha wafika endaweni ephakemeyo.

And he finished from prophesying and he came the high place.

14 Uyise omncinyane kaSawuli wathi kuye lencekwini yakhe: Beliye ngaphi? Wasesithi: Ukuyadinga obabhemikazi; lapho sesibona ukuthi kabakho sasesifika kuSamuweli.

And he said [the] uncle of Saul to him and to servant his where? did you go and he said to seek the she-asses and we saw that there not and we went to Samuel.

15 Uyise omncinyane kaSawuli wathi: Ake ungitshele ukuthi utheni kini uSamuweli?

And he said [the] uncle of Saul tell! please to me what? did he say to you Samuel.

16 USawuli wasesithi kuyise omncinyane: Usitshelile sibili ukuthi obabhemikazi sebetholakele. Kodwa udaba lombuso akhuluma ngalo uSamuweli kamtshelanga.

And he said Saul to uncle his certainly he told to us that they had been found the she-asses and [the] word of the kingship not he told to him which he had said Samuel.

17 USamuweli wasebizela abantu ndawonye eNkosini eMizipa;

And he called together Samuel the people to Yahweh Mizpah.

18 wathi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mina ngamenyusa uIsrayeli eGibhithe, ngalikhulula esandleni samaGibhithe lesandleni sayo yonke imibuso eyalicindezelayo.

And he said - to [the] people of Israel. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I I brought up Israel from Egypt and I delivered you from [the] hand of Egypt and from [the] hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.

19 Kodwa lamuhla lina limalile uNkulunkulu wenu, yena ngokwakhe owalisindisayo engozini zonke zenu lensizini zenu; laselisithi kuye: Hatshi, beka inkosi phezu kwethu. Ngakho-ke manini phambi kweNkosi ngezizwe zenu langezinkulungwane zenu.

And you this day you have rejected God your who he [is] a deliverer of you from all calamities your and troubles your and you have said to him for a king you will appoint over us and therefore present yourselves before Yahweh to tribes your and to families your.

20 USamuweli wasesondeza zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli; njalo isizwe sakoBhenjamini sabanjwa.

And he brought near Samuel all [the] tribes of Israel and it was taken by lot [the] tribe of Benjamin.

21 Wasesondeza isizwe sakoBhenjamini ngensendo zaso, losendo lwakoMatiri lwabanjwa, loSawuli indodana kaKishi wabanjwa. Kuthe bemdinga katholakalanga.

And he brought near [the] tribe of Benjamin (to families its *Q(K)*) and it was taken by lot [the] clan of Matri and he was taken by lot Saul [the] son of Kish and they sought him and not he was found.

22 Ngakho babuya babuza eNkosini ukuthi lowomuntu usezafika lapha yini? INkosi yasisithi: Khangelani, ucatshile empahleni.

And they enquired again by Yahweh ¿ has he come yet here [the] man. And he said Yahweh here! he [is] hiding himself into the baggage.

23 Basebegijima bamlanda khona; lapho esemi phakathi kwabantu, wayemude kulabo bonke abantu kusukela ehlombe lakhe kusiya phezulu.

And they ran and they took him from there and he presented himself in among the people and he was tall more than all the people from shoulder his and up-wards.

24 USamuweli wasesithi kubo bonke abantu: Liyambona yini lowo iNkosi emkhethileyo, ukuthi kakho loyedwa onjengaye kubo bonke abantu? Bonke abantu basebememeza bathi: Kayiphile inkosi!

And he said Samuel to all the people ¿ do you see [the one] whom he has chosen him Yahweh for there not [is] like him among all the people and they shouted all the people and they said may he live the king.

25 USamuweli wasebatshela abantu indlela yombuso, wawubhala egwalweni, walubeka phambi kweNkosi. USamuweli wasebayekela bonke abantu bahamba, wonke waya endlini yakhe.

And he spoke Samuel to the people [the] right[s] of the kingship and he wrote in the book and he set [it] before Yahweh and he sent away Samuel all the people each man to own house his.

26 USawuli laye wasesiya endlini yakhe eGibeya; kwasekuhamba laye amaqhawe onhliziyo zawo uNkulunkulu wayezithintile.

And also Saul he went to own house his Gibeah towards and they went with him the army which he had touched God heart their.

27 Kodwa abantwana bakaBheliyali bathi: Uzasisindisa njani lo? Basebemdelela, kabamphathelanga sipho; kodwa wazithulela.

And sons of worthlessness they said what? will he deliver us this one and they despised him and not they brought to him a gift and he was like [one who] kept silent.
