1 Књига Самуилова 10

1 Тада Самуило узе уљаницу, и изли му уље на главу, па га пољуби, и рече му: Ето, није ли те помазао Господ над наследством својим да му будеш вођ?

And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed you for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and you shall rule among the people of the Lord, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you for a ruler over his inheritance.

2 Кад отидеш данас од мене, наћи ћеш два човека код гроба Рахиљиног у крају Венијаминовом у Селси, који ће ти рећи: Нашле су се магарице, које си пошао да тражиш, и ево отац твој не марећи за магарице забринуо се за вас говорећи: Шта ћу чинити поради сина свог?

[As soon] as you shall have departed this day from me, you shall find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to you, The asses are found which you went to seek; and, behold, your father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

3 И отишавши оданде даље кад дођеш у равницу таворску, срешће те онде три човека идући к Богу у Ветиљ, носећи један три јарета, а други носећи три хлеба, а трећи носећи мешину вина.

And you shall depart thence, and shall go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and you shall find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of wine.

4 Па ће те упитати за здравље, и даће ти два хлеба, које прими из руку њихових.

And they shall ask you how you do, and shall give you two presents of bread, and you shall receive them of their hand.

5 Потом ћеш доћи на хум Божји, где је стража филистејска, и кад уђеш у град, срешће те гомила пророка силазећи с горе, а пред њима псалтири и бубњи и свирале и гусле; и они ће пророковати.

And afterward you shall go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when you shall have entered into the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.

6 И сићи ће на те дух Господњи, те ћеш пророковати с њима, и постаћеш други човек.

And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.

7 И кад ти дођу ти знаци, чини шта ти дође на руку, јер је Бог с тобом.

And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon you, —[then] do you whatever your hand shall find, because God [is] with you.

8 Потом ћеш отићи пре мене у Галгал, и гле, ја ћу доћи к теби да принесем жртве паљенице и да принесем жртве захвалне. Седам дана чекај докле дођем к теби и кажем ти шта ћеш чинити.

And you shall go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to you to offer a whole burnt offering and peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait until I shall come to you, and I will make known to you what you shall do.

9 И кад се окрете да иде од Самуила, Бог му даде друго срце; и сви се они знаци збише онај дан.

And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in that day.

10 И кад дођоше на хум, гле, срете га гомила пророка, и дође на њ дух Божји, и пророкова међу њима.

And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.

11 И кад га видеше, сви који га познаваху од пре где пророкује с пророцима, рекоше један другом: Шта то би од сина Кисовог? Еда ли је и Саул међу пророцима?

And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbor, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [is] Saul also among the prophets?

12 А један оданде одговори и рече: Ко ли им је отац? Отуда поста прича: Еда ли је и Саул међу пророцима?

And one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

13 И преставши пророковати дође на гору.

And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.

14 А стриц Саулов рече њему и момку његовом: Куда сте ишли? А он одговори: Да тражимо магарице; и кад видесмо да их нигде нема, отидосмо к Самуилу.

And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went you? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.

15 А Стриц Саулов рече: Кажи ми шта вам је рекао Самуило?

And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray you, What did Samuel say to you?

16 А Саул рече стрицу свом: Казао нам је да су се нашле магарице. Али му не рече за царство што му је казао Самуило.

And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.

17 А Самуило сазва народ у Миспу ка Господу.

And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.

18 И рече синовима Израиљевим: Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Ја изведох Израиља из Мисира, и избавих вас из руку мисирских и из руку свих царстава која вас мучаху.

And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.

19 А ви данас одбацисте Бога свог, који вас сам избавља од свих зала ваших и невоља ваших, и рекосте му: Постави цара над нама. Сада дакле станите пред Господом по племенима својим и по хиљадама својим.

And you have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and you said, Nay, but you shall set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.

20 И приведе Самуило сва племена Израиљева, и паде на племе Венијаминово.

And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.

21 Потом приведе племе Венијаминово по породицама његовим, и паде на породицу Матријеву; потом паде на Саула, сина Кисовог. И тражише га, али се не нађе.

And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.

22 Тада опет упиташе Господа: Хоће ли још доћи овамо тај човек? А Господ рече: Ето сакрио се за пртљагом.

And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come here? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid among the stuff.

23 Тада отрчаше, и доведоше га оданде. И стаде усред народа, и беше главом виши од свега народа.

And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.

24 И рече Самуило свему народу: Видите ли кога је изабрао Господ да нико није као он у свему народу? И сав народ повика и рече: Да живи цар!

And Samuel said to all the people, Have you seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!

25 Тада Самуило каза народу права царска и написа у књигу, и метну је пред Господом. Потом Самуило распусти народ да иде свак својој кући.

And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.

26 И Саул такође отиде својој кући у Гавају, и с њим отидоше војници, којима Бог такну срца.

And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.

27 А људи неваљали рекоше: Тај ли ће нас избавити? И презираху га, нити му донесоше дар. Али се он учини као да није чуо.

But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
