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 the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not Jehovah anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of Jehovah, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that Jehovah has anointed you to be 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 have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall 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 further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.

4 Pa æe te upitati za zdravlje, i daæe ti dva hljeba, koje primi iz ruku njihovijeh.

And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.

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 shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.

6 I siæi æe na te duh Gospodnji, te æeš prorokovati s njima, i postaæeš drugi èovjek.

And the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.

7 I kad ti doðu ti znaci, èini što ti doðe na ruku, jer je Bog s tobom.

And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you 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.

You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."

9 I kad se okrete da ide od Samuila, Bog mu dade drugo srce; i svi se oni znaci zbiše onaj dan.

When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these 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.

And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among 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?

It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come 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?

One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

13 I prestavši prorokovati doðe na goru.

And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,

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.

then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."

15 A stric Saulov reèe: kaži mi šta vam je rekao Samuilo?

Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said 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.

Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.

17 A Samuilo sazva narod u Mispu ka Gospodu.

Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to 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 he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand 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 you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands."

20 I privede Samuilo sva plemena Izrailjeva, i pade na pleme Venijaminovo.

So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

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.

He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.

22 Tada opet upitaše Gospoda: hoæe li još doæi ovamo taj èovjek? A Gospod reèe: eto sakrio se za prtljagom.

Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" Jehovah answered, "Look, 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.

They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

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, "You see him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."

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 told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before Jehovah. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place

26 I Saul takoðer otide svojoj kuæi u Gavaju, i s njim otidoše vojnici, kojima Bog taknu srca.

Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts Jehovah had touched.

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 certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
