1 Samuelova 10
1 Tada Samuilo uze uljanicu, i izli mu ulje na glavu, pa ga cjelova, i reèe mu: eto, nije li te pomazao Gospod nad našljedstvom svojim da mu budeš voð?
Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?
2 Kad otideš danas od mene, naæi æeš dva èovjeka kod groba Rahiljina u kraju Venijaminovu u Selsi, koji æe ti reæi: našle su se magarice, koje si pošao da tražiš, i evo otac tvoj ne mareæi za magarice zabrinuo se za vas govoreæi: šta æu èiniti poradi sina svojega?
When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
3 I otišavši odande dalje kad doðeš u ravnicu Tavorsku, srešæe te ondje tri èovjeka iduæi k Bogu u Vetilj, noseæi jedan tri jareta, a drugi noseæi tri hljeba, a treæi noseæi mješinu vina.
Then you will go on from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.
4 Pa æe te upitati za zdravlje, i daæe ti dva hljeba, koje primi iz ruku njihovijeh.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hands.
5 Potom æeš doæi na hum Božji, gdje je straža Filistejska, i kad uðeš u grad, srešæe te gomila proroka slazeæi s gore, a pred njima psaltiri i bubnji i svirale i gusle; i oni æe prorokovati.
After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
6 I siæi æe na te duh Gospodnji, te æeš prorokovati s njima, i postaæeš drugi èovjek.
Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
7 I kad ti doðu ti znaci, èini što ti doðe na ruku, jer je Bog s tobom.
When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8 Potom æeš otiæi prije mene u Galgal, i gle, ja æu doæi k tebi da prinesem žrtve paljenice i da prinesem žrtve zahvalne. Sedam dana èekaj dokle doðem k tebi i kažem ti šta æeš èiniti.
And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 I kad se okrete da ide od Samuila, Bog mu dade drugo srce; i svi se oni znaci zbiše onaj dan.
As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.
10 I kad doðoše na hum, gle, srete ga gomila proroka, i doðe na nj duh Božji, i prorokova meðu njima.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.
11 I kad ga vidješe svi koji ga poznavahu od preðe gdje prorokuje s prorocima, rekoše jedan drugome: šta to bi od sina Kisova? eda li je i Saul meðu prorocima?
All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 A jedan odande odgovori i reèe: ko li im je otac? Otuda posta prièa: eda li je i Saul meðu prorocima?
Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 I prestavši prorokovati doðe na goru.
And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.
14 A stric Saulov reèe njemu i momku njegovu: kuda ste išli? A on odgovori: da tražimo magarice; i kad vidjesmo da ih nigdje nema, otidosmo k Samuilu.
Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15 A stric Saulov reèe: kaži mi šta vam je rekao Samuilo?
“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”
16 A Saul reèe stricu svojemu: kazao nam je da su se našle magarice. Ali mu ne reèe za carstvo što mu je kazao Samuilo.
And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 A Samuilo sazva narod u Mispu ka Gospodu.
After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
18 I reèe sinovima Izrailjevijem: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: ja izvedoh Izrailja iz Misira, i izbavih vas iz ruku Misirskih i iz ruku svijeh carstava koja vas muèahu.
and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
19 A vi danas odbaciste Boga svojega, koji vas sam izbavlja od svijeh zala vaših i nevolja vaših, i rekoste mu: postavi cara nad nama. Sada dakle stanite pred Gospodom po plemenima svojim i po tisuæama svojim.
But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
20 I privede Samuilo sva plemena Izrailjeva, i pade na pleme Venijaminovo.
Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
21 Potom privede pleme Venijaminovo po porodicama njegovijem, i pade na porodicu Matrijevu; potom pade na Saula sina Kisova. I tražiše ga, ali se ne naðe.
Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
22 Tada opet upitaše Gospoda: hoæe li još doæi ovamo taj èovjek? A Gospod reèe: eto sakrio se za prtljagom.
So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Tada otrèaše, i dovedoše ga odande. I stade usred naroda, i bijaše glavom viši od svega naroda.
So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
24 I reèe Samuilo svemu narodu: vidite li koga je izabrao Gospod da niko nije kao on u svemu narodu? I sav narod povika i reèe: da živi car!
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
25 Tada Samuilo kaza narodu prava carska i napisa u knjigu, i metnu je pred Gospodom. Potom Samuilo raspusti narod da ide svak svojoj kuæi.
Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
26 I Saul takoðer otide svojoj kuæi u Gavaju, i s njim otidoše vojnici, kojima Bog taknu srca.
Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
27 A ljudi nevaljali rekoše: taj li æe nas izbaviti? I prezirahu ga, niti mu donesoše dara. Ali se on uèini kao da nije èuo.
But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
