Sie Samuel 9
1 Oasr sie mwet pwengpeng ac kasrup in sruf lal Benjamin. Inel pa Kish. El wen natul Abiel, su ma natul Zeror, ke sou lal Becorath in sou lal Aphiah.
And there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjaminite, a mighty man of wealth.
2 Oasr wen se natul pangpang Saul. El mukul fusr na wo finsroa se. Wangin sie sin mwet Israel oasku oana el, ac el fulat liki mwet nukewa finpisalyak.
And he had a son whose name was Saul, choice and comely; and there was not among the children of Israel a comelier person than he; from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
3 Kutu donkey natul Kish uh kaingla, na Kish el fahk nu sel Saul, “Eis sie sin mwet kulansap in wi kom, ac komtal som suk donkey tuhlac inge.”
And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost; and Kish said to Saul his son, Take, I pray, one of the young men with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
4 Eltal fahsr sasla infulan eol Ephraim nu in acn Shalishah, tuh eltal tiana konauk. Na eltal fahsr sasla pac in acn Shaalim, tuh donkey uh wangin pac we. Na eltal fahsr sasla pac in acn Benjamin, tuh eltal tia pacna konauk.
And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found [them] not; and they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there; and they passed through the land of Benjamin, and they found [them] not.
5 Ke eltal tuku nu in acn Zuph, Saul el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Tari kut folokla, mweyen ke kut pahtlac, papa el ku na in tila nunku ke donkey uh, a el mutawauk in fosrnga kacsr.”
They had come to the land of Zuph when Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come and let us return; lest my father give up the asses, and be anxious about us.
6 Na mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Kolyawin. Oasr mwet na mutal se in siti se inge. Mwet uh arulana sunakunul mweyen ma nukewa el fahk uh pwayena. Wona kut in som nu yorol. Sahp el ac ku in fahkma nu sesr acn donkey uh muta we.”
And he said to him, Behold now, a man of God is in this city, and the man is held in honour; all that he says comes surely to pass. Let us now go thither: perhaps he will shew us the way that we should go.
7 Ac Saul el fahk, “Kut ac fin som nu yorol, mea kut ac sang nu sel? Wangin mwe mongo lula in pak lasr uh. Ya oasr pac ma kut ku in sang nu sel?”
And Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and we have no present to give to the man of God: what have we?
8 Na mwet kulansap sac fahk nu sel, “Oasr ipin silver se yuruk. Nga ac sang nu sin mwet mutal sac, na el ac fahkak nu sesr lah donkey uh oasr ya.”
And the servant answered Saul again and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver; that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
9 (In pacl meet ah in Israel, fin oasr mwet lungse siyuk kutena ma sin God, el ac fahk ouinge, “Fahsru, kut som nu yurin sie mwet liyaten,” mweyen elos pangon mwet palu “mwet liyaten.”)
(In former time in Israel, when a man went to ask counsel of God, he said, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was in former time called a Seer.)
10 Saul el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac, “Wona, kut som.” Na eltal fahsr nu ke siti se yen mwet mutal sac muta we.
And Saul said to his servant, Well said: come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
11 Ke eltal ututyak ke inkanek nu in siti uh, eltal sun kutu mutan fusr su tuku liki siti sac in ut kof. Na eltal siyuk sin mutan inge, “Ya mwet liyaten sac oasr ingan?”
As they went up the ascent to the city, they met maidens going forth to draw water; and they said to them, Is the seer here?
12 Ac mutan inge topuk, “Aok, el oasr we. El a meet an ingan. Sulaklak, el tufahna sun acn inge misenge, mweyen mwet uh ac orek kisa ke loang se fineol uh.
And they answered them and said, He is; behold, he is before thee: make haste now, for he came to-day to the city; for the people have a sacrifice to-day in the high place.
13 Pacl se na komtal utyak nu in siti uh komtal fah liyal meet liki el utyak nu yen fulat in mongo we. Tuh mwet solsol nu ke mongo se inge fah tia mongo nwe ke na el akinsewowoye mwe kisa uh. Sulaklak utyak komtal in tuh sonol.”
As soon as ye come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people eat not until he has come, because he blesses the sacrifice; afterwards they eat that are invited. And now go up; for this very day shall ye find him.
14 Na Saul ac mwet kulansap sac utyak nu in siti uh. Ke eltal utyak nu we eltal liyal Samuel, el fahsru suwosma nu yoroltal ke el fahsr nu ke nien alu uh.
And they went up into the city. As they were coming into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel was coming out towards them, to go up to the high place.
15 In len meet ah, LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Samuel,
Now Jehovah had apprised Samuel one day before Saul came, saying,
16 “Ke aur se inge lutu, nga ac fah supwaot sie mukul su ma in sruf lal Benjamin. Kom fah mosrwella tuh elan mwet kol lun mwet Israel, mwet luk, ac el ac fah molelosla liki inpoun mwet Philistia. Tuh nga liye keok lun mwet luk, ac nga lohng pusren pang lalos nu sik.”
To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him prince over my people Israel; and he will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
17 Ke Samuel el liyalak Saul, LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pa inge mwet se nga fahk nu sum ah. El pa ac kol mwet luk.”
And as Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee! this man shall rule over my people.
18 Na Saul el kalukyang nu yorol Samuel sisken mutunpot ah, ac fahk nu sel, “Fahkma nu sik lah mwet liyaten sac muta oya?”
And Saul drew near to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
19 Ac Samuel el topuk, “Nga pa mwet liyaten sac. Fahsr meet likiyu nu ke nien alu uh. Komtal kewa ac fah wiyu mongo misenge. Lututang nga fah fahkak ma nukewa ma komtal siyuk an, tufah komtal som inkanek lomtal an.
And Samuel answered Saul and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place, and ye shall eat with me to-day; and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart.
20 A funu nu ke donkey nutumtal ma tuhlac len tolu somla, nimet komtal nunku kac, tuh koneyukyak tari. Tusruktu, acnu su mwet se mwet Israel elos soano ac kena liye uh? Kom pa mwet sac! Kom, ac sou lun papa tomom an.”
And as for the asses that thou didst lose three days ago, set not thy heart on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel [set]? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
21 Ac Saul el fahk, “Nga ma in sruf lal Benjamin, sruf se srik emeet in Israel, ac sou luk uh pa pilasr emeet in sruf se inge. Efu kom ku kaskas ouinge nu sik?”
And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why dost thou speak such words to me?
22 Na Samuel el pwanulak Saul ac mwet kulansap se lal nu in sie fukil lulap, ac sang eltal in muta ke mutun tepu uh yurin mwet suliyukme, su akuran mwet tolngoul.
And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the chamber, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited; and they were about thirty persons.
23 Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet orek mongo uh, “Use ipin ikwa se ma nga tuh sot nu sum ac fahk mu kom in srela ah.”
And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion that I gave thee, of which I said to thee, Set it by thee.
24 Na mwet orek mongo sac srakma ip se yu emeet ke nia, ac filiya ye mutal Saul. Ac Samuel el fahk, “Liye, ip se inge touyak tuh in ma nom. Mongo. Nga tuh srukak kom in tuh mongo ke pacl se inge wi mwet ma nga suli inge.” Ac Saul el welul Samuel mongo in len sac.
And the cook took up the shoulder, and what was on it, and set [it] before Saul. And he said, Behold that which has been reserved! set it before thee, eat; for against the set time has it been kept for thee, since I said, I will invite the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
25 Ke elos tufoki liki nien alu ah nu in siti sac, elos akoela nien motul lal Saul fin mangon lohm se,
And they came down from the high place into the city, and he spoke with Saul upon the roof.
26 ac Saul el motulla we. Toang ke lututang, Samuel el pangnol Saul fin mangon lohm uh ac fahk, “Tukakek, tuh nga nga in supwekomla inkanek lom.” Saul el tukakek, ac welul Samuel illa nu inkanek uh.
And they arose early; and when it was about the dawning of the day, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, Arise, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, into the street.
27 Ke eltal fahsr nwe sun sisken siti uh, Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Sap mwet kulansap lom elan fahsr nu meet ac soanekut.” Na mwet kulansap sac fahla, ac Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Tui inse inge ke kitin pacl, nga in fahk nu sum ma God El fahk nu sik.”
As they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Tell the servant to pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still now, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God.
