1 Samuel 10

1 Then Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.

Potem je Samuel vzel stekleničko olja in jo izlil na njegovo glavo ter ga poljubil in rekel: » Ali ni to zato, ker te je Gospod mazilil, da bi bil poveljnik nad njegovo dediščino?

2 [And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen my son?’”

Ko danes odideš od mene, potem boš našel dva moža ob Rahelinem mavzoleju, na meji Benjamina, ob Celcáhu; in rekla ti bosta: ›Oslice, ki si jih šel iskat, so najdene in glej, tvoj oče je zapustil skrb nad oslicami in se žalosti zaradi tebe, rekoč: ›Kaj naj storim za svojega sina?‹‹

3 When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.

Potem boš šel naprej od tam in prišel boš do ravnine Tabor in tam boš srečal tri može, ki gredo gor k Bogu v Betel. Eden bo nosil tri kozličke, drugi bo nosil tri hlebe kruha in drugi bo nosil vinski meh.

4 They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept them.

Pozdravili te bodo in ti dali dva hleba kruha, ki ju boš sprejel iz njihovih rok.

5 When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.

Potem boš prišel do Božjega hriba, kjer je garnizija Filistejcev in zgodilo se bo, ko prideš tja do mesta, da boš srečal skupino prerokov prihajati dol iz visokega kraja, s plunko, bobničem, piščaljo in harfo pred njimi, in oni bodo prerokovali.

6 At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.

Gospodov Duh bo prišel nadte in prerokoval boš z njimi in spremenjen boš v drugega človeka.

7 After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) you.

Naj bo, ko pridejo k tebi ta znamenja, da storiš, kakor se ti ponuja priložnost, kajti Bog je s teboj.

8 Then go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should do.”

Šel boš dol pred menoj v Gilgál, in glej, prišel bom dol k tebi, da darujem žgalne daritve in da žrtvujem žrtvovanje mirovnih daritev. Sedem dni boš čakal, dokler ne pridem k tebi in ti pokažem, kaj boš storil.«

9 As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on that day.

Bilo je tako, da ko je obrnil hrbet, da bi odšel od Samuela, mu je Bog dal drugo srce in vsa ta znamenja so se zgodila tisti dan.

10 When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.

Ko so prišli tja do hriba, glej, ga je srečala skupina prerokov in Božji Duh je prišel nadenj in prerokoval je med njimi.

11 When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”

Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi, ki so ga poznali od prej, videli, da je, glej, prerokoval med preroki, potem je ljudstvo reklo drug drugemu: »Kaj je to, kar je prišlo h Kiševemu sinu? Ali je tudi Savel med preroki?«

12 One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”

Nekdo iz istega kraja je odgovoril in rekel: »Toda kdo je njihov oče?« Zato je postal pregovor: »Ali je tudi Savel med preroki?«

13 When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.

Ko je nehal prerokovati, je prišel na visok kraj.

14 Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”

Savlov stric je rekel njemu in njegovemu služabniku: »Kam sta odšla?« Rekel je: »Iskat oslice. Ko pa sva videla, da jih ni bilo nikjer, sva šla k Samuelu.«

15 Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell you?”

Savlov stric je rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, kaj ti je Samuel rekel.«

16 Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].

Savel je svojemu stricu rekel: »Pojasnil nama je, da so bile oslice najdene.« Toda o zadevi kraljestva, o kateri je govoril Samuel, mu ni povedal.

17 [Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.

Samuel je skupaj sklical ljudstvo h Gospodu v Micpo

18 After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.

in Izraelovim otrokom rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Izraela sem privedel iz Egipta in vas osvobodil iz roke Egipčanov in iz roke vseh kraljestev in od teh, ki so vas zatirali, ‹

19 I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”

vi pa ste ta dan zavrnili svojega Boga, ki vas je sam rešil vseh vaših nasprotnikov in vaših stisk in ste mu rekli: › Ne, temveč nad nami postavi kralja.‹ Sedaj se torej predstavite pred Gospodom po vaših rodovih in po vaših tisočih.«

20 When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.

Ko je Samuel vsem Izraelovim rodovom velel, da se približajo, je bil izbran Benjaminov rod.

21 Then Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.

Ko je Benjaminovemu rodu velel, da pride bliže po svojih družinah, je bila izbrana Matríjeva družina in izbran je bil Kišev sin Savel. Ko pa so ga iskali, ga niso mogli najti.

22 So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”

Zato so naprej povpraševali od Gospoda, ali bi mož še moral priti tja. Gospod je odgovoril: »Glejte, skril se je med stvari.«

23 So they quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.

Stekli so in ga vzeli od tam. Ko je stal med ljudstvom, je bil višji kakor katerikoli izmed ljudstva, od njegovih ramen navzgor.

24 Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”

Samuel je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Vidite koga je Gospod izbral, da tu ni podobnega njemu izmed vsega ljudstva?« Vse ljudstvo je zavpilo in reklo: »Živel kralj.«

25 Then Samuel told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.

Potem je Samuel ljudstvu povedal o načinu kraljestva in to zapisal v knjigo ter jo položil pred Gospoda. In Samuel je vse ljudstvo poslal proč, vsakega k svoji hiši.

26 When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.

Tudi Savel je odšel domov v Gíbeo in z njim je šla četa mož, čigar src se je Bog dotaknil.

27 But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].

Toda Beliálovi otroci so rekli: »Kako nas bo ta človek rešil?« Prezirali so ga in mu niso prinesli daril. Toda on je ohranil svoj mir.
