1 Saamuʼeel 10
1 Ergasii Saamuʼeel zayitii bilillee tokko fuudhee mataa Saaʼol irratti dhangalaasee isa dhungatee akkana jedhe; “Akka ati dhaala isaa irratti mootuuf Waaqayyo si hin dibnee?
And Samuel takes the vial of the oil, and pours [it] on his head, and kisses him, and says, “Is it not because YHWH has appointed you over His inheritance for leader?
2 Harʼa ati yeroo na biraa deemtutti biyya Beniyaam keessatti awwaala Raahel biratti iddoo Zelzaa jedhamutti namoota lama ni argita. Isaanis, ‘Harroonni ati barbaadaa turte sun argamaniiru. Amma abbaan kee waaʼee harrootaa yaaduu dhiisee waaʼee kee, “Waaʼee ilma koo ani maal godhu laata?” jedhee yaaddaʼaa jira’ siin jedhu.
In your going from me today—then you have found two men by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah, and they have said to you, The donkeys have been found which you have gone to seek; and behold, your father has left the matter of the donkeys, and has sorrowed for you, saying, What do I do for my son?
3 “Ergasiis achii kaatee hamma qilxuu Taaboor guddichaatti ni deemta. Achittis namoonni sadii kanneen gara Waaqaa, gara Beetʼeelitti ol baʼaa jiran, inni tokko ilmoolee reʼee sadii, tokko immoo daabboo sadii, inni kaanis daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko baatanii sitti dhufu.
And you have passed on there, and beyond, and have come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God to Beth-El have found you there, one carrying three kids, and one carrying three cakes of bread, and one carrying a bottle of wine,
4 Isaanis nagaa si gaafatanii daabboo lama siif kennu; atis isaan harkaa ni fudhatta.
and they have asked of your welfare, and given two loaves to you, and you have received from their hand.
5 “Sana booddees iddoo hoomaan waraana Filisxeem jiru gara Gibeʼaa gara tulluu Waaqaa ni dhaqxa. Atis akkuma magaalaatti dhiʼaatteen gareen raajotaa tokko masiinqoo, dibbee, ulullee fi baganaa qabatee gaara gubbaadhaa gad sitti dhufa; isaanis raajii ni dubbatu.
Afterward you come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines [is], and it comes to pass, at your coming in there to the city, that you have met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them stringed instrument, and tambourine, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying;
6 Hafuurri Waaqayyoo humnaan sirra ni buʼa; atis isaan wajjin raajii dubbatta; geeddaramtees nama biraa taata.
and the Spirit of YHWH has prospered over you, and you have prophesied with them, and have turned into a [new] man;
7 Yeroo mallattoowwan kunneen fiixaan baʼanitti waan harka keetti dhufe hunda hojjedhu; Waaqni si wajjin jiraatii.
and it has been, when these signs come to you—do for yourself as your hand finds, for God [is] with you.
8 “Ati na dura gara Gilgaalitti gad buʼi. Anis aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma nagaa dhiʼeessuuf gara kee nan dhufa; ati garuu hamma ani dhufee waan ati gootu sitti himutti guyyaa torba turuu qabda.”
And you have gone down before me to Gilgal, and behold, I am going down to you, to cause burnt-offerings to ascend, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; you wait [for] seven days until my coming to you, and I have made known to you that which you do.”
9 Yeroo Saaʼol Saamuʼeelin dhiisee deemuuf fuula isaa garagalfatetti, Waaqni Saaʼoliif qalbii haaraa kenne. Mallattoowwan kunneen hundinuus gaafas raawwataman.
And it has been, at his turning his shoulder to go from Samuel, that God turns to him another heart, and all these signs come on that day,
10 Yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa gaʼanittis gareen raajotaa tokko isatti dhufe; Hafuurri Waaqaas isa irra buʼe; innis isaan wajjin raajii dubbate.
and they come in there to the height, and behold, a band of prophets [is there] to meet him, and the Spirit of God prospers over him, and he prophesies in their midst.
11 Warri duraan isa beekan hundi yeroo raajota wajjin raajii dubbachuu isaa arganitti, “Ilma Qiishiitti maaltu dhufe? Saaʼolis garee raajotaa keessaa tokkoo?” jedhanii wal gagaafatan.
And it comes to pass, all knowing him before, see, and behold, he has prophesied with prophets, and the people say to one another, “What [is] this [that] has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Namichi achi jiraatu tokkos, “Abbaan isaanii eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Kanaafuu jechi, “Saaʼolis garee raajotaa keessaa tokkoo?” jedhu sun mammaaksa taʼe.
And a man there answers and says, “And who [is] their father?” Therefore it has been for an allegory, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Saaʼolis erga raajii dubbachuu raawwatee booddee gaara sagadaatti ol baʼe.
And he ceases from prophesying, and comes to the high place,
14 Obboleessi abbaa Saaʼolis tajaajilaa isaatiin, “Isin eessa dhaqxan?” jedhee gaafate. Saaʼolis, “Harroota barbaacha deemne; garuu yommuu deebinetti Saamuʼeel bira dhaqne” jedhee deebise.
and the uncle of Saul says to him, and to his young man, “To where did you go?” And he says, “To seek the donkeys; and we see that they are not, and we come to Samuel.”
15 Obboleessi abbaa Saaʼol immoo, “Waan Saamuʼeel siin jedhe natti himi” jedhe.
And the uncle of Saul says, “Please declare to me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saaʼolis deebisee, “Inni akka harroonni argaman nutti himeera” jedhe; garuu waan akka inni mootii taʼu Saamuʼeel itti hime sana obboleessa abbaa isaatti hin himne.
And Saul says to his uncle, “He certainly declared to us that the donkeys were found”; and of the matter of the kingdom he has not declared to him that which Samuel said.
17 Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼel gara Miisphaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti walitti waamee
And Samuel calls the people to YHWH to Mizpeh,
18 akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Ani Israaʼelin biyya Gibxiitii baaseera; harka warra Gibxii fi harka mootummoota isaan cunqursaa turan hundaa jalaas isin fureera.’
and says to the sons of Israel, “Thus said YHWH, 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 Isin garuu amma Waaqa keessan isa dhiphina keessanii fi rakkina keessan hunda jalaa isin baase sana dhiiftaniirtu. Isin, ‘waawuu; mootii nu bulchu nuu muudi’ jettaniirtu. Kanaafuu gosa gosaa fi balbala balbala keessaniin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti of dhiʼeessaa.”
and you have rejected your God today, who [is] Himself your Savior out of all your evils and your distresses, and you say, No, but you set a king over us; and now, station yourselves before YHWH, by your tribes, and by your thousands.”
20 Yommuu Saamuʼeel gosoota Israaʼel hunda fidettis gosti Beniyaam ni filatame.
And Samuel brings all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin is captured,
21 Ergasiis inni gosa Beniyaam balbala balbalaan fuula duratti dhiʼeessee balballi Maxriit filatame. Dhuma irrattis Saaʼol ilmi Qiish ni filatame. Inni garuu yommuu isa barbaadanitti hin argamne.
and he brings the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he has not been found.
22 Kanaaf namoonni, “Namichi dhufee jiraa?” jedhanii ammas Waaqayyoon gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Eeyyee; garuu inni miʼa keessa dhokatee jira” jedhe.
And they ask again of YHWH, “Has the man come here yet?” And YHWH says, “Behold, he has been hidden near the vessels.”
23 Isaanis fiiganii achii isa fidan. Innis yeroo dhufee isaan gidduu dhaabatetti gatiittii isaatii olitti nama hunda caalaa dheeraa ture.
And they run and bring him there, 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 Saamuʼeelis saba sana hundaan, “Namicha Waaqayyo isa filate argituu? Saba hunda keessaa kan akka isaa tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhe. Namoonnis, “Mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jedhanii iyyan.
And Samuel says to all the people, “Have you seen him on whom YHWH has fixed, for there is none like him among all the people?” And all the people shout, and say, “Let the king live!”
25 Saamuʼeelis seera mootummaan sun ittiin bulu namootaaf ibse. Kitaaba keessattis barreessee fuula Waaqayyoo dura kaaʼe. Ergasii Saamuʼeel namoota hunda gara mana isaaniitti of irraa geggeesse.
And Samuel speaks to the people the right of the kingdom, and writes in a scroll, and places [it] before YHWH; and Samuel sends all the people away, each to his house.
26 Saaʼol garuu Gibeʼaatti deebiʼee mana ofii isaatti gale; namoonni jajjaboon Waaqni yaada isaanii kakaases isa wajjin deeman.
And Saul has also gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force goes with him whose heart God has touched;
27 Garuu namoonni kashlabboonni tokko tokko, “Namni kun akkamitti nu oolchuu dandaʼa?” jedhan. Isas ni tuffatan. Kennaa tokko illees hin fidneef. Saaʼol garuu ni calʼise.
and the sons of worthlessness have said, “How can this one save us?” And they despise him, and have not brought a present to him; and he is as one being deaf.
