Kings I 10

1 And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed you for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and you shall rule amongst the people of the Lord, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you for a ruler over his inheritance.

Pagkatapos kumuha si Samuel ng isang bote ng langis at ibinuhos ito sa ulo ni Saul, at hinalikan siya. Sinabi niya, “Hindi ba pinahiran ka ng langis ni Yahweh para maging tagapamahala ng kanyang pamana?

2 [As soon] as you shall have departed this day from me, you shall find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to you, The asses are found which you went to seek; and, behold, your father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

Kapag iniwan mo ako ngayon, may matatagpuan kang dalawang lalaki sa puntod ni Raquel, sa nasasakupan ng Benjamin at Zelza. Sasabihin nila sa iyo, 'Natagpuan na ang hinahanap mong mga asno. Ngayon, tumigil ang iyong ama sa pag-aalala tungkol sa mga asno, at nababalisa na tungkol sa iyo, sinasabing, “Ano ang dapat kong gawin sa anak ko?'”

3 And you shall depart thence, and shall go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and you shall find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of wine.

Pagkatapos magpapatuloy ka mula roon, at makakarating ka sa owk ng Tabor. Sasalubungin ka roon ng tatlong lalaking papunta sa Diyos sa Bethel, ang isa ay may dalang tatlong batang kambing, ang isa ay may dalang tatlong pirasong tinapay at ang isa ay may dalang isang balat na sisidlan ng alak.

4 And they shall ask you how you do, and shall give you two presents of bread, and you shall receive them of their hand.

Babatiin ka nila at bibigyan ng dalawang pirasong tinapay, na kukunin mo mula sa kanilang mga kamay.

5 And afterward you shall go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when you shall have entered into the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.

Matapos iyon, paroroon ka sa burol ng Diyos, kung saan naroon ang kuta ng mga Filisteo. Kapag nakarating ka sa lungsod, makakasalubong ka ng isang pangkat ng propetang pababa mula sa mataas na lugar na may alpa, panderetas, plauta, at lira sa harapan nila; magsisipanghula sila.

6 And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.

Agad na darating sa iyo ang Espiritu ni Yahweh at huhula ka kasama nila, at mababago ka sa isang kakaibang lalaki.

7 And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon you, —[then] do you whatever your hand shall find, because God [is] with you.

Ngayon, kapag dumating sa iyo ang mga palatandaang ito, gawin mo anumang masumpungang gawin ng iyong kamay, sapagkat kasama mo ang Diyos.

8 And you shall go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to you to offer a whole burnt offering and peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait until I shall come to you, and I will make known to you what you shall do.

Mauna ka sa aking bumaba sa Gilgal. Pagkatapos bababa ako sa iyo para maghandog ng mga sinunog na handog at mag-alay ng mga handog pangkapayapaan. Maghintay ng pitong araw hanggang sa dumating ako at ipakita sa iyo kung ano ang dapat mong gawin.”

9 And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in that day.

Nang tumalikod si Saul para iwan si Samuel, binigyan siya ng Diyos ng panibagong puso. Pagkatapos lahat ng mga palatandaang ito ay nangyari sa araw na iyon.

10 And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.

Nang dumating sila sa burol, sinalubong siya ng isang pangkat ng mga propeta, at agad na dumating sa kanya ang Espiritu ng Diyos kaya nanghula siya kasama nila.

11 And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [is] Saul also amongst the prophets?

Nang makita siya ng lahat ng taong dating nakakakilala sa kanya na nanghuhula kasama ng mga propeta, sinabi ng mga tao sa isa't isa, “Anong nangyari sa anak ni Kish? Isa na ba ngayon si Saul sa mga propeta?”

12 And one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?

Isang lalaki mula sa parehong lugar ang sumagot, “At sino ang kanilang ama?” Dahil dito, naging kasabihan, “Isa rin ba si Saul sa mga propeta?”

13 And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.

Nang matapos niyang manghula, pumaroon siya sa mataas na lugar.

14 And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went you? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.

Pagkatapos sinabi ng tiyo ni Saul sa kanya at kanyang lingkod, “Saan kayo nagpunta?” At sumagot siya, “Para hanapin ang mga asno; nang hindi namin matagpuan ang mga iyon, pumunta kami kay Samuel.”

15 And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray you, What did Samuel say to you?

Sinabi ng tiyo ni Saul, “Pakiusap, sabihin sa akin kung anong sinabi sa iyo ni Samuel.”

16 And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.

Sumagot si Saul sa kanyang tiyo, “Sinabi niya sa amin nang tapatan na natagpuan na ang mga asno.” Ngunit hindi niya sinabi sa kanya ang bagay patungkol sa kaharian na sinabi ni Samuel.

17 And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.

Ngayon sama-samang tinawag ni Samuel ang mga tao sa harapan ni Yahweh sa Mizpa.

18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.

Sinabi niya sa mga tao ng Israel, “Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel: 'Dinala ko ang Israel palabas ng Ehipto, at iniligtas kayo mula sa kamay ng mga taga-Ehipto, at mula sa kamay ng lahat ng kahariang umapi sa inyo.'

19 And you have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and you said, Nay, but you shall set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.

Subalit ngayon tinanggihan ninyo ang inyong Diyos na nagliligtas sa inyo mula sa lahat ninyong kalamidad at dalamhati; at sinabi ninyo sa kanya, 'Maglagay ng hari sa amin.' Ngayon idulog ang inyong mga sarili sa harapan ni Yahweh ayon sa inyong mga lipi at angkan.”

20 And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.

Kaya dinala ni Samuel palapit ang lahat ng lipi ng Israel, at napili ang lipi ni Benjamin.

21 And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.

Pagkatapos dinala niya palapit ang lipi ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan; at napili ang angkan ng mga Matrites; at napili si Saul na anak ni Kish. Subalit nang siya ay hinahanap nila, hindi siya matagpuan.

22 And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come here? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid amongst the stuff.

Pagkatapos gustong magtanong ng mga tao sa Diyos ng karagdagang tanong, “May ibang lalaki pa bang darating?” Sumagot si Yahweh, “Itinago ni Saul ang kanyang sarili sa mga kargada.”

23 And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.

Pagkatapos tumakbo sila at kinuha si Saul mula roon. Nang tumayo siya kasama ng mga tao, mas matangkad siya kaysa sinumang tao mula sa kanyang balikat pataas.

24 And Samuel said to all the people, Have you seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him amongst you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Samuel sa mga tao, “Nakikita ba ninyo ang lalaking pinili ni Yahweh?” Walang isa mang katulad niya sa lahat ng tao!” Sumigaw ang lahat ng tao, “Mabuhay ang hari!”

25 And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Samuel sa mga tao ang mga kaugalian at panuntunan ng paghahari, isinulat ang mga iyon sa isang aklat at inilagay ito sa harapan ni Yahweh. Pagkatapos pinaalis ni Samuel ang mga tao, bawat lalaki sa kanyang bahay.

26 And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.

Umuwi rin si Saul sa tahanan niya sa Gibea, at sumama sa kanya ang ilang malalakas na tauhan na hinipo ng Diyos ang mga puso.

27 But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.

Subalit ilang walang kabuluhang lalaki ang nagsabi, “Paano tayo maililigtas ng lalaking ito?” Inalipusta ng mga taong ito si Saul at hindi siya dinalhan ng anumang regalo. Subalit nanahimik lang si Saul.
