1 Samuel 10

1 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Samuel ang sisidlan ng langis, at ibinuhos sa ulo niya, at hinagkan niya siya, at sinabi, Hindi ba ang Panginoon ang nagpahid sa iyo ng langis upang maging prinsipe ka sa kaniyang mana?

Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.

2 Paghiwalay mo sa akin ngayon, ay masusumpungan mo nga ang dalawang lalake sa siping ng libingan ni Rachel, sa hangganan ng Benjamin sa Selsah; at sasabihin nila sa iyo, Ang mga asno na iyong hinahanap ay nasumpungan na; at, narito, niwalang bahala ng iyong ama ang mga asno, at ang inaalaala ay kayo, na sinasabi, Paano ang aking gagawin sa aking anak?

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 Kung magkagayo'y magpapatuloy ka mula roon, at darating ka sa ensina ng Tabor; at masasalubong ka roon ng tatlong lalake na inaahon ang Dios sa Beth-el, ang isa'y may dalang tatlong batang kambing, at ang isa'y may dalang tatlong tinapay, at ang isa'y may dalang isang balat na sisidlan ng alak:

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 At babatiin ka nila, at bibigyan ka ng dalawang tinapay, na iyong tatanggapin sa kanilang kamay.

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

5 Pagkatapos ay darating ka sa burol ng Dios, na nandoon ang isang pulutong ng mga Filisteo: at mangyayari pagdating mo roon sa bayan, na makakasalubong ka ng isang pulutong na mga propeta na lumulusong mula sa mataas na dako, na may salterio, at pandereta, at flauta, at alpa sa harap nila; at sila'y magsisipanghula.

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 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sasaiyo, at manghuhula kang kasama nila, at ikaw ay magiging ibang lalake.

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

7 At mano nawa, na pagka ang mga tandang ito ay mangyari sa iyo, na gawin mo ang idudulot ng pagkakataon; sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasaiyo.

And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.

8 At ikaw ay lulusong na una sa akin sa Gilgal; at, narito, lulusungin kita, upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at maghain ng mga hain na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan: pitong araw na maghihintay ka, hanggang sa ako'y pumaroon sa iyo, at ituro sa iyo kung ano ang iyong gagawin.

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 At nangyaring gayon, na nang kaniyang matalikdan na iwan niya si Samuel, ay binigyan siya ng Dios ng ibang puso: at ang lahat na tandang yaon ay nangyari sa araw na yaon.

When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.

10 At nang sila'y dumating doon sa burol, narito, isang pulutong na mga propeta ay nasasalubong niya; at ang Espiritu ng Dios ay makapangyarihang suma kaniya, at siya'y nanghula sa gitna nila.

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 At nangyari nang makita siya ng lahat na nakakakilala sa kaniya nang una, na, narito siya'y nanghuhulang kasama ng mga propeta, ay nagsalisalitaan ang bayan, Ano itong nangyari sa anak ni Cis? Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta?

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 At isang taga dakong yaon ay sumagot at nagsabi, At sino ang kanilang ama? Kaya't naging kawikaan, Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta?

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

13 At nang siya'y makatapos ng panghuhula, siya'y sumampa sa mataas na dako.

And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,

14 At sinabi ng amain ni Saul sa kaniya at sa kaniyang bataan, Saan kayo naparoon? At kaniyang sinabi, Upang hanapin ang mga asno, at nang aming makita na hindi mangasumpungan, ay naparoon kami kay Samuel.

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 At sinabi ng amain ni Saul, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na saysayin mo sa akin, kung ano ang sinabi ni Samuel sa inyo.

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

16 At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang amain, Sinabi niyang maliwanag sa amin na ang mga asno ay nasumpungan na. Nguni't tungkol sa bagay ng kaharian, na sinalita ni Samuel, ay hindi niya isinaysay sa kaniya.

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 At tinipon ni Samuel ang bayan sa Panginoon sa Mizpa;

Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;

18 At sinabi niya sa mga anak ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Iniahon ko ang Israel mula sa Egipto, at pinapaging laya ko kayo sa kamay ng mga taga Egipto, at sa kamay ng lahat ng mga kaharian na pumighati sa inyo:

and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, 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 Nguni't itinakuwil ninyo sa araw na ito ang inyong Dios, na siyang nagligtas sa inyo sa lahat ng mga inyong kasakunaan at mga kapighatian; at sinabi ninyo sa kaniya, Hindi, kundi lagyan mo kami ng isang hari. Ngayon nga'y humarap kayo sa Panginoon ayon sa inyoinyong mga lipi, at ayon sa inyong mga libolibo.

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 the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."

20 Sa gayo'y pinalapit ni Samuel ang lahat ng mga lipi, at ang lipi ni Benjamin ang napili.

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

21 At kaniyang inilapit ang lipi ni Benjamin ayon sa kaniyang mga angkan; at ang angkan ni Matri ay siyang napili; at si Saul na anak ni Cis, ay siyang napili: nguni't nang kanilang hanapin siya ay hindi nasumpungan.

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 Kaya't kanilang itinanong uli sa Panginoon, May lalake pa bang paririto? At ang Panginoon ay sumagot, Narito siya'y nagtago sa mga kasangkapan.

Therefore they asked of the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."

23 At sila'y tumakbo at kinuha nila siya roon; at nang siya'y tumayo sa gitna ng bayan, ay mataas siya kay sa sinoman sa bayan, mula sa kaniyang mga balikat at paitaas.

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 At sinabi ni Samuel sa buong bayan, Nakikita ba ninyo siya na pinili ng Panginoon, na walang gaya niya sa buong bayan? At ang buong bayan ay sumigaw, at nagsabi, Mabuhay ang hari.

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

25 Nang magkagayo'y sinaysay ni Samuel sa bayan ang paraan ng kaharian, at isinulat sa isang aklat, at inilagay sa harap ng Panginoon. At pinayaon ni Samuel ang buong bayan, na pinauwi bawa't tao sa kaniyang bahay.

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

26 At si Saul man ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa; at yumaong kasama niya ang hukbo, na ang kanilang mga kalooban ay kinilos ng Dios.

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

27 Nguni't sinabi ng ilang hamak na tao, Paanong ililigtas tayo ng taong ito? At kanilang niwalang kabuluhan at hindi nila dinalhan ng kaloob. Nguni't siya'y hindi umimik.

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.
