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 olive oil and poured it over Saul's head, and kissed him, saying, “The Lord has anointed you as ruler of his chosen people.
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 meet two men near Rachel's tomb in Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you that the donkeys you went to look for have been found. Now your father isn't concerned about them but is worried about you. He's wondering, ‘What 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.
You will leave there and go on to the oak at Tabor where you will meet three men on their way to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be 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 should take.
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.
Next you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have a garrison. As you come into town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place led 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.
The Spirit of the Lord will come on you with power. You will prophesy with them, and you will become a different man.
7 I kad ti doðu ti znaci, èini što ti doðe na ruku, jer je Bog s tobom.
After these signs have happened, do what you need to do, 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.
Then go ahead of me to Gilgal. I assure you I will come and join you to present burnt offerings and friendship offerings. Wait there seven days until I come to you, and let you know what you should do.”
9 I kad se okrete da ide od Samuila, Bog mu dade drugo srce; i svi se oni znaci zbiše onaj dan.
The moment Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave Saul a different way of thinking, and all the signs were fulfilled 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 in Gibeah, there was a procession of prophets coming out to meet them, the Spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he also started to prophesy 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?
Everyone who had used to know Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets said to each other, “What's going on with the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
12 A jedan odande odgovori i reèe: ko li im je otac? Otuda posta prièa: eda li je i Saul meðu prorocima?
A man living there responded, “But who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
13 I prestavši prorokovati doðe na goru.
After Saul had finished prophesying, he went 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.
Saul's uncle asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” “We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we couldn't find them we went to Samuel.”
15 A stric Saulov reèe: kaži mi šta vam je rekao Samuilo?
“Please tell me what he said to you,” Saul's uncle asked.
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.
“He promised us the donkeys had been found,” Saul replied. But Saul didn't tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming king.
17 A Samuilo sazva narod u Mispu ka Gospodu.
Samuel called the people of Israel to come before 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.
He told the Israelites, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I led Israel out of Egypt, and I saved you from the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms that were oppressing 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 now you have rejected your God, the one who saves you from all your troubles and disasters. You told him, ‘You must appoint a king to rule us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and family groups.”
20 I privede Samuilo sva plemena Izrailjeva, i pade na pleme Venijaminovo.
Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
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 family groups, and the family group of Matri was chosen. Lastly, Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But when they looked for him, he couldn't be found.
22 Tada opet upitaše Gospoda: hoæe li još doæi ovamo taj èovjek? A Gospod reèe: eto sakrio se za prtljagom.
So they asked the Lord, “Has he arrived here yet?” The Lord replied, “Go and look—he's hiding among the baggage.”
23 Tada otrèaše, i dovedoše ga odande. I stade usred naroda, i bijaše glavom viši od svega naroda.
They ran and brought Saul over. When he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
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 everyone, “Can you see the one the Lord has chosen? There's no one like him anywhere!” 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 all that a king would do. He wrote it down on a scroll and placed it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent everyone home.
26 I Saul takoðer otide svojoj kuæi u Gavaju, i s njim otidoše vojnici, kojima Bog taknu srca.
Saul also returned to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by warriors who God had encouraged to help 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 obnoxious men asked, “How could this man save us?” They hated him and didn't bring him any gifts; but Saul did not retaliate.
