1 Samuela 9
1 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻo Penisimani, ko Kisi hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo ʻApieli, ko e foha ʻo Siloa, ko e foha ʻo Pikolati, ko e foha ʻo ʻAfia ko e tangata Penisimani, ko e tangata mālohi.
有一个便雅悯人，名叫基士，是便雅悯人亚斐亚的玄孙，比歌拉的曾孙，洗罗的孙子，亚别的儿子，是个大能的勇士。
2 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae foha ko Saula hono hingoa, ko e tangata talavou lelei, mo toulekeleka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe lelei hake ʻiate ia: mei hono uma ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe māʻolunga lahi taha pe ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
他有一个儿子，名叫扫罗，又健壮、又俊美，在以色列人中没有一个能比他的；身体比众民高过一头。
3 Pea naʻe hē ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻa Kisi ko ʻene tamai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kisi kia Saula ko hono foha, “Ko eni ke ke ʻave ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻae fanga ʻasi.”
扫罗的父亲基士丢了几头驴，他就吩咐儿子扫罗说：“你带一个仆人去寻找驴。”
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻasi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne ʻosiki ʻae fonua ʻo Salisa, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa na toki ō ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻo Salima, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻi ai: pea ʻalu ia ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Penisimani, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo ʻakinautolu.
扫罗就走过以法莲山地，又过沙利沙地，都没有找着；又过沙琳地，驴也不在那里；又过便雅悯地，还没有找着。
5 Pea ʻi he ʻena hoko ki he fonua ʻo Sufi, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia, “Ke ta tafoki; telia naʻa tuku ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻene tokanga ki he fanga ʻasi, pea hoko ʻo tokanga kiate kitaua.”
到了苏弗地，扫罗对跟随他的仆人说：“我们不如回去，恐怕我父亲不为驴挂心，反为我们担忧。”
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e tangata ongoongolelei ia; ʻoku hoko moʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai: pea ko eni ke ta ō ki ai; heiʻilo pe te ne faʻa fakahā mai hota hala ke ta ō ai.”
仆人说：“这城里有一位神人，是众人所尊重的，凡他所说的全都应验。我们不如往他那里去，或者他能将我们当走的路指示我们。”
7 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Kae vakai, kapau te ta ō, ko e hā te ta ʻave ki he tangata? He kuo ʻosi ʻae mā ʻi heʻeta ngaahi ipu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻaʻofa ke ʻatu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e hā ʻoku ta maʻu?”
扫罗对仆人说：“我们若去，有什么可以送那人呢？我们囊中的食物都吃尽了，也没有礼物可以送那神人，我们还有什么没有？”
8 Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tamaioʻeiki kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻiate au hono fā ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli siliva: te u ʻatu ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ke ne fakahā hota hala.”
仆人回答扫罗说：“我手里有银子一舍客勒的四分之一，可以送那神人，请他指示我们当走的路。”（
9 (ʻI he ʻalu ha tangata ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ke fehuʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō ki he tangata kikite: he ko ia ʻoku ui ni ko e Palōfita, naʻe ui ia ʻi muʻa ko e tangata kikite.”)
从前以色列中，若有人去问 神，就说：“我们问先见去吧！”现在称为“先知”的，从前称为“先见”。）
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku lelei hoʻo lea, haʻu ke ta ō.” Ko ia ne na ō ai ki he kolo ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
扫罗对仆人说：“你说的是，我们可以去。”于是他们往神人所住的城里去了。
11 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohake ʻi he moʻunga ki he kolo, naʻa na ʻilo ʻae kau finemui naʻe ʻalu ke ʻutu vai, pea ne na pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻae tangata kikite?”
他们上坡要进城，就遇见几个少年女子出来打水，问她们说：“先见在这里没有？”
12 Pea naʻa nau tali ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ia; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kimoua: mo fakatoʻotoʻo, he naʻe haʻu he ʻaho ni ia ki he kolo; he ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu māʻolunga:
女子回答说：“在这里，他在你们前面。快去吧！他今日正到城里，因为今日百姓要在邱坛献祭。
13 ʻI hoʻomo hoko ki he kolo, te mo ʻilo leva ia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻalu hake ia ki he potu māʻolunga ke kai: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kai ʻe he kakai kaeʻoua ke hoko ange ia, he ʻoku ne tāpuaki ʻae feilaulau; pea hili ia, ʻe toki kai ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai. Ko ia mo ʻohake eni; he ko e feituʻulaʻā eni te mo ʻilo ia.”
在他还没有上邱坛吃祭物之先，你们一进城必遇见他；因他未到，百姓不能吃，必等他先祝祭，然后请的客才吃。现在你们上去，这时候必遇见他。”
14 Pea naʻa na ʻohake ki he kolo: pea ʻi heʻena hoko hake ki he kolo, vakai, naʻe hū kituʻa ʻa Samuela kiate kinaua, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ki he potu māʻolunga.
二人就上去；将进城的时候，撒母耳正迎着他们来，要上邱坛去。
15 Ka ko eni kuo ʻosi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he telinga ʻo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho naʻe muʻa ʻi he hoko atu ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē,
扫罗未到的前一日，耶和华已经指示撒母耳说：
16 “Feʻunga mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u fekau kiate koe ʻae tangata mei he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea te ke fakanofo ia ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui hoku kakai mei he nima ʻoe kau Filisitia: he kuo u vakai ki hoku kakai, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hake ʻenau tangi kiate au.”
“明日这时候，我必使一个人从便雅悯地到你这里来，你要膏他作我民以色列的君。他必救我民脱离非利士人的手；因我民的哀声上达于我，我就眷顾他们。”
17 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Samuela kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata eni ʻaia ne u lea ai kiate koe! Ko ia ia te ne pule ki hoku kakai.”
撒母耳看见扫罗的时候，耶和华对他说：“看哪，这人就是我对你所说的，他必治理我的民。”
18 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Saula kia Samuela ʻi he matapā, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke tala mai, ko e fē ʻae fale ʻoe tangata kikite?”
扫罗在城门里走到撒母耳跟前，说：“请告诉我，先见的寓所在哪里？”
19 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e tangata kikite: ke ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate au ki he potu māʻolunga, he te tau kai mo au he ʻaho ni, pea te u tuku koe ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi, pea te u tala kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto.
撒母耳回答说：“我就是先见。你在我前面上邱坛去，因为你们今日必与我同席；明日早晨我送你去，将你心里的事都告诉你。
20 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga ʻasi ʻaia naʻe hē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu kuo hili, ʻoua naʻa tokanga ho loto ki ai; he kuo ʻilo ʻakinautolu. Pea ʻoku tau kia hai ʻae holi ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea ki he fale kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo tamai?”
至于你前三日所丢的那几头驴，你心里不必挂念，已经找着了。以色列众人所仰慕的是谁呢？不是仰慕你和你父的全家吗？”
21 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Saula ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai ko e tangata Penisimani au ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea ko hoku fale ko e siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke lea pehē ai kiate au?”
扫罗说：“我不是以色列支派中至小的便雅悯人吗？我家不是便雅悯支派中至小的家吗？你为何对我说这样的话呢？”
22 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Samuela ʻa Saula mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he potu fale kuo teuteu, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakinaua ʻi he potu lahi taha pe ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tala, ʻaia ko e toko tolungofulu nai.
撒母耳领扫罗和他仆人进了客堂，使他们在请来的客中坐首位；客约有三十个人。
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he ngaohi kai, “ʻOmi ʻae tufakanga naʻaku ʻatu kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, Tuku pe ia ʻo tauhi.”
撒母耳对厨役说：“我交给你收存的那一分祭肉现在可以拿来。”
24 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he ngaohi kai ʻae alanga muʻa, mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Saula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Vakai, ko ia ʻoku toe ke tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke kai: he naʻe tauhi ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni talu ʻeku pehē, kuo u tala ki he kakai.” Pea ko ia naʻe kai ʻe Saula mo Samuela ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
厨役就把收存的腿拿来，摆在扫罗面前，撒母耳说：“这是所留下的，放在你面前。吃吧！因我请百姓的时候，特意为你存留这肉到此时。” 当日，扫罗就与撒母耳同席。
25 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he potu māʻolunga ki he kolo, naʻe alea ʻa Samuela mo Saula ʻi he tuʻa fale.
众人从邱坛下来进城，撒母耳和扫罗在房顶上说话。
26 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake pea feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, naʻe ui ʻe Samuela ke ʻalu hake ʻa Saula ki he tuʻa fale, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koeʻuhi ke u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula, pea naʻa na ō kituʻa fakatouʻosi pe, ʻaia mo Samuela ki he mamaʻo.
次日清早起来，黎明的时候，扫罗在房顶上。撒母耳呼叫他说：“起来吧，我好送你回去。”扫罗就起来，和撒母耳一同出去。
27 Pea ʻi heʻena ʻohifo ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kolo, naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Fekau ki he tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitaua, (pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ) ka ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā kiate koe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.”
二人下到城角，撒母耳对扫罗说：“要吩咐仆人先走（仆人就先走了）；你且站在这里，等我将 神的话传与你听。”
