1 Samuel 9
1 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor,
HOOKAHI kanaka no ka Beniamina, o Kisa kona inoa, ke keiki a Abiela, ke keiki a Zerora, ke keiki a Bekorata, ke keiki a Apia, no Beniamina, he kanaka waiwai nui.
2 and he has a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and handsome, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel more handsome than he—from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
He keiki kana, o Saula kona inoa, he opiopio a maikai: aohe kanaka maikai iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela e like ana me ia: mai kona poohiwi aku a hala loa iluna, ka oi ana o kona kiekie mamua o ko na kanaka a pau.
3 And the donkeys of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish says to his son Saul, “Now take one of the young men with you, and rise, go, seek the donkeys.”
Ua nalowale na hoki a Kisa, ka makuakane o Saula; i aku la o Kisa i kana keiki, ia Saula, E lawe oe i kekahi kauwa me oe, a hele e imi i na hoki.
4 And he passes over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passes over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found [them]; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passes over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found [them].
Kaahele no ia ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a kaahele hoi ma ka aina o Salisa, aole i loaa ia laua; alaila kaahele laua ma ka aina o Salima, aole malaila; hele aku la ia ma ka aina o ka Beniamina, aole i loaa ia laua.
5 They have come to the land of Zuph, and Saul has said to his young man who [is] with him, “Come, and we return, lest my father leave off from the donkeys, and has been sorrowful for us.”
A hiki aku la laua ma ka aina o Zupa, i aku la ia i kana kauwa me ia, Ea, e hoi kaua, o pau auanei ka manao ana o kuu makuakane i na hoki, a hookaumahaia no kaua.
6 And he says to him, “Now behold, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honored; all that he speaks certainly comes; now, we go there, it may be he declares to us our way on which we have gone.”
I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, ma keia kulanakauhale e noho ana kekahi kanaka o ke Akua, he kanaka kaulana: a o ka mea a pau ana e olelo ai, e ko io no ia: e nele kaua malaila, malama e hiki ia ia ke kuhikuhi mai ia kaua i ke ala e pono ai kaua ke hele.
7 And Saul says to his young man, “And behold, we go, and what do we bring to the man? For the bread has gone from our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God—what [is] with us?”
I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ina paha e hele kaua, heaha ka kaua e lawe aku ai i ua kanaka la? No ka mea, ua pau ka berena maloko o ko kaua ipu, aole he manawalea e lawe aku i ua kanaka la o ke Akua: heaha ka mea ia kaua?
8 And the young man adds to answer Saul and says, “Behold, there is found a fourth of a shekel of silver with me: and I have given to the man of God, and he has declared our way to us.”
Olelo hou mai la ke kauwa ia Saula, i mai la, Eia ma kuu lima ka hapaha o ke sekela kala; o keia ka'u e haawi aku ai i ua kanaka la o ke Akua, i kuhikuhi mai ai ia i ke ala o kaua.
9 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God: “Come and we go to the seer.” For the “prophet” of today is formerly called “the seer.”
(I ka manawa mamua iloko o ka Iseraela, a i hele ke kanaka e ninau i ke Akua, peneia ia i olelo ai, Ina kakou e hele i ka mea ike; no ka mea, o ke kaula i keia manawa, ua kapaia oia mamua, he mea ike.)
10 And Saul says to his young man, “Your word [is] good; come, we go”; and they go to the city where the man of God [is].
I aku la o Saula i kana kauwa, Ua pono kau olelo; ina kaua e hele aku: a hele aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale, i kahi o ke kanaka o ke Akua.
11 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, “Is the seer in this [place]?”
A i ka laua pii ana i ke kulanakauhale, loaa ia laua na kaikamahine e hele ana e huki wai, i aku la ia lakou, Maanei anei ke kanaka ike?
12 And they answer them and say, “He is; behold, before you! Hurry, now, for he has come to the city today, for the people [have] a sacrifice today in a high place.
Olelo mai la lakou ia laua, i mai la, Maanei no: aia hoi ia mamua ou, e wikiwiki, no ka mea, i hele mai ia i ke kulanakauhale i keia la; no ka mea, he ahaaina na na kanaka i keia la ma kahi kiekie.
13 At your going into the city so you find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat until his coming, for he blesses the sacrifice; afterward, they who are called eat, and now, go up, for you should find him at this time.”
A hiki aku olua maloko o ke kulanakauhale, e loaa koke oia ia olua, mamua o kona pii ana ae ma kahi kiekie e ai ai; aole e ai na kanaka a hiki aku ia; no ka mea, nana no e hoomaikai aku i ka ahaaina, a mahope iho, ai no ka poe i oleloia. No ia mea, e pii olua; no ka mea, eia ka la e loaa'i ia olua ia.
14 And they go up to the city; they are coming into the midst of the city, and behold, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
A pii aku la laua i ke kulanakauhale: a hiki laua iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, halawai laua me Samuela e pii ana ma kahi kiekie.
15 and YHWH had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
Ua olelo e mai o Iehova i ka pepeiao o Samuela i ka la mamua o ko Saula hiki ana mai, i mai la,
16 “At this time tomorrow, I send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin—and you have anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he has saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry has come to Me.”
Apopo ma keia manawa, e hoouna aku au i ou la i kekahi kanaka no ka aina o ka Beniamina, a e poni aku oe ia ia i alii maluna o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, i hoopakele mai ai ia i ko'u poe kanaka mai ka lima mai o ko Pilisetia: ua nana aku au i ko'u poe kanaka, no ka mea, ua hiki mai ko lakou uwe ana io'u nei.
17 When Samuel has seen Saul, then YHWH has answered him, “Behold, the man of whom I have spoken to you; this [one] restrains My people.”
A ike aku la o Samuela ia Saula, olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, Eia ke kanaka a'u i olelo ai ia oe; oia ka mea e alii ai maluna o kuu poe kanaka.
18 And Saul draws near to Samuel in the midst of the gate and says, “Please declare to me where this seer’s house [is].”
Hookokoke aku la o Saula ia Samuela ma ka ipuka pa, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hale o ka mea ike.
19 And Samuel answers Saul and says, “I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and you have eaten with me today, and I have sent you away in the morning, and all that [is] in your heart I declare to you.
Olelo mai la o Samuela ia Saula, i mai la, Owau no ka mea ike; e pii ae oe mamua o'u i kahi kiekie: no ka mea, e ai pu olua me au i keia la; apopo e kuu aku au ia oe, a e hai aku au i na mea a pau maloko o kou naau.
20 And as for the donkeys which are lost from you [for] three days as of today, do not set your heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel? Is it not to you and to all your father’s house?”
A no kau mau hoki i nalowale i na la ekolu ae nei, mai manao oe ia lakou, no ka mea, ua loaa lakou. Maluna owai anei ka makemake a pau o ka Iseraela? Aole anei maluna ou, a me ko ka hale a pau o kou makuakane?
21 And Saul answers and says, “Am I not a Benjamite—of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? And why have you spoken to me according to this word?”
Olelo aku la o Saula, i aku la, Aole anei wau no ka Beniamina, no ka mea uuku o na hanauna a pau o ka Iseraela? a o kuu ohana ka mea uuku o na ohana a pau o ka Beniamina? no ke aha la oe i olelo mai ai ia'u pela?
22 And Samuel takes Saul, and his young man, and brings them into the chamber, and gives a place to them at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
Lawe aku la o Samuela ia Saula a me kana kauwa, alakai ia laua maloko o ke keena ai, a hoonoho ia laua ma kahi maikai iwaena o ka poe i oleloia, he kanakolu paha lakou.
23 And Samuel says to the cook, “Give the portion which I gave to you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.”
Olelo aku la o Samuela i ke kahu ai, E lawe mai i kahi a'u i haawi aku ai ia oe, i ka mea a'u i olelo ai ia oe, E waiho ia me oe.
24 (And the cook lifts up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and sets [it] before Saul), and he says, “Behold, that which is left; [it] is set before your face—eat, for it is kept for you for this appointed time, [at my] saying, I have called the people”; and Saul eats with Samuel on that day.
Lawe ae la ke kahu ai i ka uha mua, a me ka mea maluna, a waiho imua o Saula. I aku la o [Samuela, ] Aia hoi o ke koena, e waiho ia imua ou, a e ai oe; no ka mea, ua hookaawale ia mea nau no ka manawa a'u i olelo ai, ua kahea aku au i na kanaka. A ai pu iho la o Saula me Samuela ia la.
25 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaks with Saul on the roof.
A iho mai lakou mai kahi kiekie mai a i ke kulanakauhale, kamailio pu oia me Saula maluna o ka hale.
26 And they rise early, and it comes to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calls to Saul, on the roof, saying, “Rise, and I send you away”; and Saul rises, and they go out, both of them—he and Samuel, outside.
Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui; a i ka wanaao, kahea aku la o Samuela ia Saula maluna o ka hale, i aku la, E ala, a hoouna aku au ia oe. Ala mai o Saula, a hele aku la laua iwaho, oia a me Samuela.
27 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel has said to Saul, “Say to the young man that he should pass on before us (and he passes on), and you, stand at this time, and I cause you to hear the word of God.”
A i ko laua iho ana ma ka mokuna o ke kulanakauhale, i aku la o Samuela ia Saula, E i aku oe i ke kauwa, e hele e aku ia mamua o kaua, (a hele aku la ia, ) aka, e ku malie oe i keia wa, i hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka olelo a ke Akua.
