1 Samuel 10
1 And Samuel took a little vial of oil and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince.
Na Samuel el eis sufa in oil in olive ac ukuiya fin sifal Saul ac ngok mutal ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El mosrwekomla tuh kom fah leum fin mwet lal, mwet Israel. Kom fah leum faclos ac karinganulos liki mwet lokoalok lalos. Na pa inge mwe akpwayeye nu sum lah LEUM GOD pa sulekomla tuh kom in leum fin mwet lal:
2 When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father thinking no more of the asses is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son?
Ke kom ac fahsr likiyu misenge, kom ac fah sun mukul luo sisken kulyuk lal Rachel in acn Zelzah in facl lun Benjamin. Eltal ac fah fahk nu sum lah koneyukyak tari donkey ma komtal suk an. Na papa tomom el tila nunku kac, a el nunku keim, ac el na siyuk na ac fahk, ‘Mea nga ac oru ke wen nutik uh?’
3 And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
Ke kom ac som liki acn sac, kom ac fahsr nwe sun sak oal soko in acn Tabor, ac kom ac fah sun mukul tolu su fahsr in som nu Bethel in oru mwe kisa lalos nu sin God we. Sie selos el pwen nani fusr tolkwe, ac sie selos el us lof in bread tolkwe, ac mukul se aktolu an el us pak in wain se nwanala ke wain.
4 And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou shalt take them at their hand.
Elos ac fah paing kom, ac asot lukwa lof an nu sum, na kom fah eis.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying.
Na kom fah som nu ke Fineol lun God in acn Gibeah, yen mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos muta we. Ke nien utyak nu in siti uh kom ac fah sun u in mwet palu su oatui liki nien loang lalos fineol uh — elos srital ke harp, drum, flute, ac lyre. Elos ac onsrosro ac sasa.
6 And the spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man.
In kitin pacl ah, ngunin LEUM GOD ac tuku ke ku nu fom, ac kom ac fah welulos ke tacn in alyalu ac sasa lalos, ac kom ac fah ekla sie mwet sasu.
7 When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee.
Ke pacl se ma inge sikyak nu sum uh, kutena ma God El akkalemye nu sum, kom in oru.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee, ) that thou mayest offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, O till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do.
Kom fah som meet likiyu nu Gilgal. Nga ac fah sun kom we, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Kom fah soaneyu we len itkosr, nu ke pacl nga tuku ac fahkak nu sum ma kom in oru.”
9 So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day.
Ke Saul el forla in fahsr lukel Samuel, God El sang sie ouiyen moul sasu nu sel Saul. Ac ma nukewa ma Samuel el fahk nu sel ah, sikyak in len sac.
10 And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
Ke Saul ac mwet kulansap lal sun acn Gibeah, un mwet palu se tuku osun nu sel. In kitin pacl ah ngunin God tuku ke ku nu facl ac el wi mwet palu inge ke tacn ac sasa in alyalu lalos.
11 And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Ac ke mwet su etal Saul meet elos liye ma el oru inge, elos asiyuki sie sin sie, “Ku mea sikyak nu sin wen se natul Kish inge? Ya Saul el ekla sie mwet palu?”
12 And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?
Ac sie mukul in acn sac el fahk, “Ac fuka mwet palu saya inge? Kowos nunku mu su papa tumalos an?” Na pa inge mutaweyen soakas se ma fahk mu, “Ku pwaye lah Saul el ekla sie mwet palu pac?”
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
Ke Saul el oru tacn ac sasa in alyalu lal tari, na el som nu ke nien loang fineol uh.
14 And Saul’s uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them we went to Samuel.
Sie mukul wien papa tumal Saul el liyal Saul ac mwet kulansap lal, ac el siyuk seltal, “Komtal muta ya tuku?” Saul el fahk, “Kut suk donkey tuhlac ah. Ke kut kofla konauk, na kut som nu yorol Samuel.”
15 And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee.
Na papa sac siyuk, “Ac mea Samuel el fahk nu sumtal?”
16 And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not.
Na Saul el fahk, “El fahk mu koneyukyak tari.” Tusruktu el tiana fahk ma Samuel el fahk kacl lah el ac tokosrala.
17 And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha:
Samuel el pangoneni mwet uh nu ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah,
18 And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you.
ac el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel el fahk, ‘Nga uskowosme liki facl Egypt ac molikowosla liki inpoun mwet Egypt ac liki mwet saya nukewa su akkeokye kowos.
19 But you this day have rejected your God, who only hath saved you out of all your evils and your tribulations: and you have said: Nay: but set a king over us. Now therefore stand before the Lord by your tribes, and by your families.
Nga God lowos, su molikowosla liki ongoiya ac ma upa nu suwos, tuh pa misenge kowos sisyula ac siyuk ke sie tokosra. Ouinge kowos toeni in sruf lowos ac in sou lowos, ac utyak nu ye mutun LEUM GOD.’”
20 And Samuel brought to him all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell on the tribe of Benjamin.
Na Samuel el sap kais sie sruf in kilukyak, ac LEUM GOD el sulela sruf lal Benjamin.
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell Upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul the son of Cis. They sought him therefore and he was not found.
Na Samuel el sap kais sie sou in sruf lal Benjamin in kilukyak, na sou lal Matri sulosolla. Na kais sie mukul in sou lal Matri kilukyak, na Saul, wen natul Kish, el solla. Elos sokol tuh elos kofla konalak.
22 And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home.
Na elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya oasr pac sie sayal?” Ac LEUM GOD El topuk, “Saul el a wikwik ingo inmasrlon kufwen sroasr.”
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward.
Ac elos kasrusr ac usalu nu yurin mwet uh, ac ke el tuyak inmasrlon mwet uh, el fulat lukelos nukewa finpisalyak.
24 And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king.
Ac Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pa inge mwet se su LEUM GOD El sulela! Wangin sie inmasrlosr oana el.” Ac mwet uh nukewa wowoyak ac fahk, “In paht moul lal tokosra!”
25 And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house.
Na Samuel el aketeya nu sin mwet uh ke kunokon ac suwohs lun sie tokosra. El simusla ma inge in sie book, ac filiya in sie acn mutal. Na el supwalik mwet uh nu in acn selos.
26 Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched.
Ac Saul el folokla pac nu yen sel in acn Gibeah. God El pirik insien kutu mwet pulaik ac ku, ac elos welul Saul som.
27 But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents, but he dissembled as though he heard not.
Tusruktu kutu mwet lusrongten elos fahk, “Mea, oasr ma wo mwet se inge el ku in oru nu sesr?” Elos pilesral ac tia use kutena mwe lung nu sel. Tuh Saul el mislana.
