1 Samuel 10
1 Samuẹli sì mú ìgò kékeré tí òróró wà nínú rẹ̀, ó sì dà á sí orí Saulu. Ó sì fi ẹnu kò ó ní ẹnu, wí pé, “Olúwa kò ha tí fi òróró yàn ọ ní olórí lórí ohun ìní rẹ̀?
Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
2 Bí ìwọ bá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi lónìí, ìwọ yóò bá ọkùnrin méjì pàdé lẹ́bàá ibojì Rakeli ní Selsa, ní agbègbè Benjamini. Wọ́n yóò sọ fún ọ pé, ‘Kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tí ìwọ jáde lọ láti wá ní wọn tí rí. Nísinsin yìí, baba à rẹ tí dákẹ́ kò ronú nípa wọn mọ́, ó sì ń dààmú nípa à rẹ. Ó ń béèrè, “Kí ni èmi yóò ṣe nípa ọmọ mi?”’
When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’
3 “Nígbà náà, ìwọ yóò lọ láti ibẹ̀ títí yóò fi dé ibi igi ńlá Tabori. Ọkùnrin mẹ́ta tí wọ́n ń gòkè lọ sọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní Beteli yóò pàdé rẹ níbẹ̀. Ọ̀kan yóò mú ọmọ ewúrẹ́ mẹ́ta lọ́wọ́, èkejì, ìṣù àkàrà mẹ́ta àti ẹ̀kẹta yóò mú ìgò wáìnì.
“Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Wọ́n yóò kí ọ, wọn yóò sì fún ọ ní ìṣù àkàrà méjì, tí ìwọ yóò gbà lọ́wọ́ wọn.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 “Lẹ́yìn náà, ìwọ yóò lọ sí òkè Ọlọ́run, níbi tí ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini wà. Bí ìwọ ti ń súnmọ́ ìlú náà, ìwọ yóò bá àwọn wòlíì tí ó tò lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ bọ̀ láti ibi gíga, pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn, tambori àti fèrè àti haapu níwájú wọn, wọn yóò sì máa sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀.
“After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.
6 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa yóò sì bà lé ọ, ìwọ yóò sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn, ìwọ yóò sì di ẹni ọ̀tọ̀.
Then Yahweh’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 Bí ìwọ bá ti rí àmì wọ̀nyí, ṣe ohunkóhun tí ọwọ́ rẹ bá bà láti ṣe, nítorí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.
Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
8 “Lọ ṣáájú mi sí Gilgali. Èmi yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti rú ẹbọ sísun àti láti rú ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gbọdọ̀ dúró fún ọjọ́ méje títí èmi yóò fi wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ láti sọ fún ọ ohun tí ó yẹ tí ìwọ yóò ṣe.”
“Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 Bí Saulu ti yípadà láti fi Samuẹli sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run yí ọkàn Saulu padà àti pé gbogbo àmì wọ̀nyí sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ ní ọjọ́ náà.
It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.
10 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé òkè Gibeah náà, àwọn wòlíì tí ó ń tò ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ pàdé rẹ̀, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run bà lé e nínú agbára, ó sì darapọ̀ bá wọ́n sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀.
When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti mọ̀ ọ́n tẹ́lẹ̀ rí i tó ń sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn wòlíì, wọ́n bi ara wọn, “Kí ni ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọ Kiṣi yìí. Ṣé Saulu wà lára àwọn wòlíì ni?”
When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Ọkùnrin kan tí ó ń gbé níbẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Ta ni baba wọn?” Ó ti di ohun tí a fi ń pa òwe pé, ǹjẹ́ Saulu náà wà lára àwọn wòlíì bí?
One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Lẹ́yìn tí Saulu dákẹ́ sísọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀, ó lọ sí ibi gíga.
When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 Nísinsin yìí, arákùnrin baba Saulu béèrè lọ́wọ́ Saulu àti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Níbo ni ẹ lọ?” Ó wí pé, “À ń wá àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́,” ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a kò rí wọn, a lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Samuẹli.
Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”
15 Arákùnrin baba Saulu wí pé, “Sọ fún mi ohun tí Samuẹli wí fún un yín.”
Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saulu dáhùn pé, “Ó fi dá wa lójú pé wọ́n ti rí àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún arákùnrin baba a rẹ̀ ohun tí Samuẹli sọ nípa ọba jíjẹ.
Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.
17 Samuẹli pé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ sí iwájú Olúwa ní Mispa.
Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah;
18 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ, ‘Èmi mú Israẹli jáde wá láti Ejibiti, Èmi sì gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára Ejibiti àti gbogbo ìjọba tí ó ń pọ́n ọn yín lójú.’
and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up 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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti kọ Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó gbà yín kúrò nínú gbogbo wàhálà àti ìpọ́njú yín. Ẹ̀yin sì ti sọ pé, ‘Rárá, yan ọba kan fún wa.’ Báyìí, ẹ kó ara yín jọ níwájú Olúwa ní ẹ̀yà àti ìdílé yín.”
But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your thousands.”
20 Nígbà tí Samuẹli mú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli súnmọ́ tòsí, ó yan ẹ̀yà Benjamini.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Ó kó ẹ̀yà Benjamini síwájú ní ìdílé ìdílé, a sì yan ìdílé Matiri. Ní ìparí a sì yan Saulu ọmọ Kiṣi. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ìgbà tí wọ́n wá a, a kò rí i,
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ṣe ìwádìí lọ́wọ́ Olúwa pé, “Ṣé ọkùnrin náà ti wá sí bí ni?” Olúwa sì sọ pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ti fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ láàrín àwọn ẹrù.”
Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” Yahweh answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Wọ́n sáré, wọ́n sì mú un jáde wá. Bí ó ti dúró láàrín àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì ga ju gbogbo àwọn tí ó kù lọ láti èjìká rẹ̀ sókè.
They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Samuẹli sọ fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ṣé ẹ ti ri ọkùnrin tí Olúwa ti yàn? Kò sí ẹnìkan bí i rẹ̀ láàrín gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn.” Nígbà náà àwọn ènìyàn kígbe pé, “Kí ẹ̀mí ọba kí ó gùn!”
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Samuẹli ṣàlàyé fún àwọn ènìyàn àwọn ìlànà ìjọba. Ó kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé, ó sì fi lélẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa. Lẹ́yìn náà, Samuẹli tú àwọn ènìyàn ká olúkúlùkù sí ilé e rẹ̀.
Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 Saulu náà padà sí ilé e rẹ̀ ní Gibeah. Àwọn akọni ọkùnrin tí Ọlọ́run ti fi ọwọ́ tọ́ ọkàn wọ́n sì sìn ín.
Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Beliali wí pé, “Báwo ni ọkùnrin yìí yóò ti ṣe gbà wá?” Wọ́n kẹ́gàn rẹ̀, wọn kò sì mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún un, ṣùgbọ́n Saulu fọwọ́ lérán.
But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.
