1 Samuel 10
1 Afei, Samuel faa ngotoa a ngo wɔ mu hwie guu Saulo tirim, few nʼafono ho, kae se, “Mereyɛ eyi de akyerɛ sɛ Awurade apaw wo sɛ ɔkannifo ama ne man Israel.
Forsothe Samuel took `a vessel of oyle, and schedde out on the heed of Saul, and kisside hym, and seide, Lo! the Lord hath anoyntid thee in to prince on hys eritage; and thou schalt delyuere his puple fro the hond of his enemyes, that ben `in his cumpas. And this a tokene to thee, that the Lord hath anoyntid thee in to prince;
2 Sɛ wugyaw me ha nnɛ na worekɔ a, wubehyia mmarima baanu wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Rahel da a ɛwɔ Selsa a ɛbɛn Benyamin hye no. Wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo se, ‘Mfurum a mutuu ho anammɔn kɔhwehwɛɛ wɔn no, wɔahu wɔn. Enti mprempren, wʼagya agyae wɔn ho dwene, na mmom, mo ho na ɔredwen. Ɔtaa bisa se, “Obi ahu me babarima no ana?”’
whanne thou schalt go fro me to day, thou schalt fynde twei men bisidis `the sepulcre of Rachel, in `the endis of Beniamyn, in myddai, clensynge grete dichis; and thei schulen seie to thee, The femel assis ben foundun, whiche thou yedist to seke; and while the assis ben lefte, thi fadir is bisy for you, and seith, What schal Y do of my sone?
3 “Mudu dua kɛse bi a esi Tabor ho a, mubehyia mmarima baasa bi a wofi Bet-El rekɔ akɔsom Onyankopɔn. Ɔbaako so mmirekyi mma abiɛsa, ɔbaako nso so brodo mua abiɛsa, na nea ɔka ho no nso so nsa aboa nhoma kotoku baako.
And whanne thou hast go fro thennus, and hast passid ferthere, and hast come to the ook of Tabor, thre men, stiynge to God in to Bethel, schulen fynde thee there, o man berynge thre kydis, and another man berynge thre kakis of breed, and an other man berynge a galoun of wyn.
4 Wobekyia mo, na wɔama mo brodo mua abien, na ɛsɛ sɛ mugye fi wɔn nkyɛn.
And whanne thei han gret thee, thei schulen yyue to thee twei loues, and thou schalt take of `the hond of hem.
5 “Na sɛ mudu Onyankopɔn koko a ɛwɔ Gibea a Filistifo nsraadɔm abɔ pem wɔ hɔ no a, mubehu adiyifo asafodɔm sɛ wofi afɔremuka a ɛwɔ bepɔw no so hɔ resian ba. Ɛhɔ na mubehyia adiyifo asafo a wɔresian afi bepɔw no so hɔ reba na bɛnta ne mpintin ne mmɛn ne asanku di wɔn anim a wɔrehyɛ nkɔm.
After these thingis thou schalt come in to the `hil of the Lord, where is the stondyng, that is, forselet, of Filisteis; and whanne thou schalt entre in to the citee, there thou schalt haue metynge thee the flok of prophetis comynge doun fro the hiy place, and a sautree, and tympane, and pipe, and harpe bifor hem, and hem prophesiynge.
6 Saa bere no, Onyankopɔn Honhom bɛba wo so wɔ tumi mu, na wo ne wɔn bɛhyɛ nkɔm. Wobɛsakra ayɛ onipa foforo.
And the Spirit of the Lord schal skippe in to thee, and thou schalt prophecie with hem, and thou schalt be chaungid in to another man.
7 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnne yi akyi no, yɛ nea wugye di sɛ eye biara, na Onyankopɔn bɛka wo ho.
Therfor whanne alle thesse signes bifallen to thee, do thou, what euer thingis thin hond fyndith, `that is, dispose thee to regne comelili and myytily, for the Lord is with thee.
8 Afei, sian di mʼanim kɔ Gilgal na kɔtwɛn me wɔ hɔ nnanson. Mɛba abɛka wo ho wɔ hɔ, na yɛabɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre. Na sɛ midu hɔ a, mɛkyerɛ wo nea ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ bio.”
And thou schalt go doun bifor me in to Galgala; for Y schal come doun to thee, that thou offre an offryng, and offre pesible sacrifices; bi seuene daies thou schalt abide, til I come to thee, and shewe to thee what thou schal do.
9 Saulo dan ne ho pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ara pɛ, Onyankopɔn sesaa ne koma, na Samuel nsɛnkyerɛnne nyinaa baa mu da no.
Therfor whanne Saul hadde turnede awei his schuldre to go fro Samuel, God chaungide another herte to Saul, and alle these signes camen in that dai.
10 Bere a Saulo ne ne somfo no duu Gibea no, wohuu sɛ adiyifo no reba. Afei Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saulo so, na ɔno nso fii ase hyɛɛ nkɔm.
And thei camen to the forseid hil, and lo! a cumpeny of prophetis metynge hym; and the Spirit of the Lord `scippide on hym, and he propheciede in the myddis of hem.
11 Bere a ne nnamfonom tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Asɛm bɛn na moreka yi? Saulo nso abɛyɛ odiyifo? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kis babarima tumi bɛyɛɛ odiyifo?”
Sotheli alle men, that knewen hym yisterdai and the thrid dai ago, sien that he was with the prophetis, and that he prophesiede, and thei seiden togidere, What thing bifelde to the sone of Cys? Whether also Saul is among prophetis?
12 Nanso ɛhɔni bi kae se, “Sɛnea nʼagya te de, ɛmfa ho; obiara tumi bɛyɛ odiyifo.” Enti ɛbɛyɛɛ sɛnnahɔ se, “Enti Saulo nso abɛyɛ odiyifo?”
And o man answeride to another man, and seide, And who is `his fadir? Therfor it was turned in to a prouerbe, Whether also Saul is among prophetis?
13 Saulo gyaee adiyi no, ɔforoo bepɔw no kɔɔ afɔremuka no so.
Forsothe Saul ceside to prophesie, and he cam to an hiy place.
14 Oduu hɔ no, Saulo wɔfa bisaa no se, “Ɛhefa na wokɔe a dedaada yenhuu wo yi?” Saulo buae se, “Yɛkɔhwehwɛɛ mfurum a wɔayera no, nanso yɛanhu wɔn. Ɛno nti, yɛkɔɔ odiyifo Samuel nkyɛn kobisaa no faako a wɔwɔ.”
And the brothir of `the fadir of Saul seide to hym, and to his child, Whidur yeden ye? And thei answeriden, To seke the femal assis; and whanne we founden `not thoo, we camen to Samuel.
15 Ne wɔfa no bisae se, “Saa? Na asɛm bɛn na ɔkae?”
And the brother of his fadir seide to hym, Schewe thou to me what Samuel seide to thee.
16 Saulo buae se, “Ɔkae se, wɔahu mfurum no.” Nanso Saulo anka ankyerɛ ne wɔfa no sɛ Samuel asra no ngo sɛ wobesi no ɔhene.
And Saul seide to `the brother of hys fadir, He schewide to vs, that the femal assis weren foundun. Sotheli Saul schewide not to hym of the word of rewme, `which word Samuel spak to hym.
17 Samuel frɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa baa Awurade anim wɔ Mispa,
And Samuel clepide togidere the puple to the Lord in Masphat;
18 na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se ni, ‘Mede Israelfo fii Misraim bae, na migyee mo fii Misraim tumi ne wɔn a wodi mo nya no nyinaa ase.’
and he seide to the sones of Israel, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y ledde Israel out of the lond of Egipt, and Y delyuerede you fro the hond of Egipcians, and fro the hond of alle kyngis that turmentiden you.
19 Nanso ɛwɔ mu sɛ mayɛ bebree ama mo de, nso moapo me aka se, ‘Yɛpɛ ɔhene.’ Enti afei, momfa mo mmusuakuw ne mo mmusua mmra Awurade anim.”
Forsothe to day ye han caste awei youre Lord God, which aloone sauyde you fro alle youre yuelis and tribulaciouns; and ye seiden, Nay, but ordeyne thou a kyng on vs. Now therfor stonde ye bifor the Lord bi youre lynagis, and bi meynees.
20 Samuel maa Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa bae no, Benyamin abusuakuw na woyii wɔn.
And Samuel settide to gidere alle the lynages of Israel, and lot felde on the lynage of Beniamyn.
21 Afei ɔmaa Benyamin abusuakuw no mu afi nyinaa baa Awurade anim na woyii Matri abusua, na awiei no woyii Kis babarima Saulo. Na wɔhwehwɛɛ no no, na wonhu baabi a wafa.
And he settide togidere the lynage of Beniamyn, and the meynees therof; and lot felde on the meynees of Mathri, and it cam `til to Saul, the son of Cys. Therfor thei souyten hym, and he was not foundun there.
22 Enti wobisaa Awurade se, “Na ɔwɔ he?” Na Awurade buae se, “Yiw, ɔde ne ho ahintaw nneɛma mu.”
And aftir these thingis thei counseliden the Lord, whether Saul schulde come thidur. And the Lord answeride, Lo! he is hid at hoom.
23 Enti wotuu mmirika kɔfaa no bae. Na obegyinaa nnipa no mu no na ne tenten bunkam fa obiara so.
Therfor thei runnen, and token hym fro thennus; and he stood in the myddil of the puple, and was hiyere than al the puple fro the schulder and `aboue.
24 Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Ɔbarima a Awurade apaw no sɛ mo hene ni. Obiara nni Israel ha a ɔne no sɛ.” Afei, nnipa no nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
And Samuel seide to al the puple, Certis ye seen whom the Lord hath chose; for noon in al the puple is lijk hym. And al the puple cryede, and seide, Lyue the kyng!
25 Samuel kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara a ɛbata saa ahenni no ho kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔkyerɛw guu nhoma mmobɔwee so, de kɔtoo Awurade anim. Afei, Samuel gyaa ɔmanfo no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ wɔn afi mu.
Forsothe Samuel spak to the puple the lawe of rewme, and wroot in a book, and puttide vp bifor the Lord. And Samuel dilyuerede al the puple, ech man in to his hows;
26 Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fi wɔ Gibea na nnipakuw bi a Onyankopɔn aka wɔn koma de wɔn ho bɛbɔɔ no.
but also Saul yede in to his hous in to Gabaath; and the part of the oost yede with hym, whose hertis God hadde touchid.
27 Nanso amumɔyɛfo bi kae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na saa onipa yi atumi agye yɛn?” Wobuu no animtiaa a wɔammrɛ no akyɛde biara. Nanso Saulo ammua wɔn.
Forsothe the sones of Belyal seiden, Whether this man may saue vs? And thei dispisiden hym, and brouyten not yiftis, `that is, preisyngis, to him; forsothe he `dissymelide hym to here.
