1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
Samyèl pran yon ti poban lwil oliv, li vide l' sou tèt Sayil. Apre sa, li bo l', epi li di l': -Seyè a ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ki rele l' pa l'. W'a gouvènen pèp li a, w'a delivre yo anba men tout lènmi ki bò kote l' yo. Men sa k'ap fè ou wè se Seyè a menm ki mete ou apa pou gouvènen pèp ki pou li a.
2 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?”’
Lè w'a kite m' jòdi a, w'a jwenn de mesye toupre tonm Rachèl la lavil Sèlza, nan lizyè peyi moun Benjamen yo. Y'a di ou bourik ou t'ap bouske yo, yo jwenn yo. Men, koulye a papa ou bliye bourik li yo, se pou ou li gen tèt chaje. L'ap mande: Kisa mwen pral fè pou pitit gason m' lan?
3 “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.
Lèfini, w'a mache pi devan jouk w'a rive bò pye bwadchenn Tabò a. Lè w'a rive la, w'a kontre ak twa nèg k'ap moute lavil Betèl pou y' al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye. Yonn ap mennen twa jenn ti kabrit, dezyèm lan va gen twa pen nan men l', twazyèm lan va gen yon veso fèt an po bèt plen diven.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
Y'a di ou bonjou, y'a ba ou de nan pen yo. W'a pran yo nan men yo.
5 “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.
Apre sa, w'a moute sou ti mòn Bondye yo rele Gibeya a, kote yon lame moun Filisti moute ganizon yo. Lè w'ap antre nan lavil la, w'a kontre ak yon gwoup pwofèt k'ap desann soti bò lotèl ki sou ti mòn lan. Y'ap jwe gita, y'ap bat tanbou, y'ap jwe fif ak bandjo, y'ap danse, y'ap bay mesaj ki sot nan Bondye.
6 Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
Lespri Bondye a va desann sou ou, w'a pran danse, w'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye tankou yo. Ou p'ap menm moun lan ankò.
7 Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
Lè bagay sa yo va rive, w'a fè tou sa ki vin pou fèt paske se Bondye k'ap avè ou.
8 “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.”
Apre sa, w'a pran devan m', w'a desann lavil Gilgal kote m'a vin jwenn ou pita pou m' ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Lèfini, w'a tann sèt jou anvan m'a vin jwenn ou ankò pou m' di ou sa pou ou fè.
9 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.
Vire Sayil vire pou l' kite Samyèl, Bondye fè Sayil tounen yon lòt moun nèt. Jou sa a tout pawòl Samyèl te di l' yo rive vre.
10 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 amongst them.
Lè Sayil rive lavil Gibeya ak domestik li a, yon bann pwofèt vin kontre avè l'. Lespri Bondye a desann sou li epi li pran danse, li pran bay mesaj tankou yo.
11 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 amongst the prophets?”
Tout moun ki te konnen l' anvan sa wè li t'ap danse, li t'ap bay mesaj ansanm ak pwofèt yo. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa ki rive pitit gason Kich la? Sayil gen lè pwofèt tou?
12 One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also amongst the prophets?”
Yon moun lavil Gibeya ki te la mande: -Lòt mesye pwofèt yo, ki moun ki papa yo? Se konsa moun te konmanse ap di: Gen lè menm Sayil pwofèt tou?
13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
Lè Sayil fin danse, lè li te fin bay mesaj, li moute sou ti mòn lan bò lotèl la.
14 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.”
Tonton Sayil la mande l' ansanm ak domestik li a: -Kote nou te ye konsa? Sayil reponn tonton l' lan: -Mwen t' al chache bourik yo. Lè nou pa jwenn yo, n' al kote Samyèl.
15 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
Tonton Sayil la mande l': -Rakonte m' sa li di ou.
16 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.
Sayil reponn li: -Li di m' yo jwenn bourik yo deja. Men, li pa di tonton l' sa Samyèl te di l' sou koze wa a.
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
Samyèl reyini pèp Izrayèl la pou fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye lavil Mispa.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, “The LORD, 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.’
Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la. Se mwen menm ki te delivre nou anba men moun Lejip yo, anba men moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap peze nou yo.
19 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 the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.”
Se mwen menm Bondye nou an ki te pwoteje nou nan tout move pa, nan tout kè sere, epi koulye a n'ap voye m' jete, n'ap di m' se yon wa pou m' mete gouvènen nou! Enben, nou tout, vini non devan Seyè a. Sanble tout moun, branch fanmi pa branch fanmi, fanmi pa fanmi. Fè yo parèt devan li.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
Lè sa a, Samyèl fè tout pèp Izrayèl la pwoche branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Seyè a chwazi branch fanmi Benjamen an.
21 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.
Apre sa, Samyèl fè tout fanmi branch Benjamen yo pwoche yonn apre lòt. Seyè a chwazi fanmi Matri a. Lè sa a, li fè tout gason nan fanmi Matri a parèt devan Seyè a, Bondye chwazi Sayil, pitit gason Kich la. Yo chache l', men yo pa t' ka jwenn li.
22 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” The LORD answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself amongst the baggage.”
Y' al mande Seyè a si pa gen lòt moun ankò. Seyè a reponn: -Men Sayil kache dèyè pwovizyon yo!
23 They ran and got him there. When he stood amongst the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Se konsa yo kouri al wete l' la, yo mennen l', yo fè l' kanpe nan mitan pèp la. Li te pi wo pase yo tout.
24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him amongst all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
Samyèl di pèp la: -Men moun Seyè a chwazi a. Pa gen tankou l' nan mitan pèp la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa Sayil!
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Apre sa, Samyèl esplike pèp la ki jan pou wa a boule ak yo. Lèfini, li ekri tou sa li te di yo nan yon liv li mete devan lotèl Seyè a. Apre sa, Samyèl voye tout moun lakay yo.
26 Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
Sayil tou al lakay li lavil Gibeya. Bondye te pale nan kè kèk vanyan gason. Yo menm tou, y' ale ansanm ak Sayil.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.
Men te gen kèk vòryen ki t'ap di: -Ki jan jenn gason sa a ka rive delivre nou? Yo pa okipe Sayil menm, yo pa fè l' kado anyen. Sayil menm fè tankou li pa konprann.
