I Samuel 10

1 Ket innala ni Samuel ti maysa a pagkargaan nga aglaon iti lana, imbukbukna daytoy iti ulo ni Saul, ket inagkanna isuna. Kinunana, “Pudno a ni Yahweh ti nangpulot kenka a mangituray iti tawidna.

Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:

2 Inton panawannak ita nga aldaw, makasarakkanto iti dua a lallaki iti asideg ti tanem ni Rachel, iti masakupan ti Benjamin idiay Selsa. Ibagadanto kenka, 'Nasarakanen dagiti asno a birbirokem. Ita, nagsardengen nga agdandanag ti amam maipanggep kadagiti asno, ket madandanaganen kenka, a kunkunana, “Ania ti aramidek iti anakko?”'

When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?

3 Kalpasanna, inton makaadayoka bassit manipud sadiay, ket makadanonkanto iti kayo a lugo iti Tabor. Masabatmonto sadiay ti tallo a lallaki a mapan iti Dios idiay Betel, ti maysa ket nakaukod iti tallo nga urbon a kalding, ti maysa ket nakaawit iti tallo a tinapay, ken ti maysa ket nakaawit iti lalat a naglaon iti arak.

Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:

4 Kablaawandankanto ken ikkandakanto iti dua a tinapay, nga awatemto manipud kadagiti imada.

They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.

5 Kalpasan dayta, makadanonkanto iti turod ti Dios, nga ayan ti pagkamkampoan dagiti Filisteo. Inton makasangpetka iti siudad, makasabatkanto iti maysa a bunggoy dagiti profeta a sumalsalog manipud iti nangato a disso a nakaiggem iti arpa, pandereta, plauta, ken lira; agipadtodanto.

After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:

6 Ti Espiritu ni Yahweh ket umayto kenka, ket makipagpadtokanto kadakuada, ken agbalinkanto a naidumduma a tao.

And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.

7 Ita, inton dumteng kenka dagitoy a pagilasinan, aramidem ti aniaman a kayat ti imam nga aramiden, ta ti Dios ket adda kenka.

And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.

8 Umun-unaka a sumalog idiay Gilgal. Ket sumalogakto iti ayanmo tapno mangidatag kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken mangidaton kadagiti daton a pakikappia. Agurayka iti pito nga aldaw agingga nga umayak iti ayanmo ket ipakitak kenka ti masapul nga aramidem.”

Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

9 Idi timmalikud ni Saul tapno panawanna ni Samuel, innikkan isuna ti Dios iti sabali a puso. Ket napasamak amin dagitoy a pagilasinan iti dayta nga aldaw.

And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day.

10 Idi nakadanonda iti turod, nakasabat isuna iti maysa bunggoy dagiti profeta, ket sibibileg nga immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ti Dios isu a nakipagpadto met isuna kadakuada.

And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

11 Idi nakita isuna dagiti amin a makaam-ammo idi kenkuana a makipagpadpadto isuna kadagiti profeta, kinuna dagiti tattao iti tunggal maysa, “Ania ti napasamak iti lalaki a putot ni Kis? Maysa kadi itan ni Saul kadagiti profeta?”

Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?

12 Simmungbat ti maysa a tao a naggapu iti isu met laeng a lugar, “Ket siasino koma met aya ti amada?” Gapu iti daytoy, nagbalin daytoy a pagsasao, “Maysa kadi metten ni Saul kadagiti profeta?”

And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

13 Idi nalpas iti panagipadpadtona, napan isuna iti nangato a disso.

Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.

14 Ket kinuna ti uliteg ni Saul kenkuana ken iti adipenna, “Napnapananyo?” Ket simmungbat isuna, “Binirokmi dagiti asno; idi saanmi dagitoy a mabirokan, napankami kenni Samuel.”

And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.

15 Kinuna ti uliteg ni Saul, “Ibagayo kaniak no ania ti imbaga ni Samuel kadakayo.”

Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?

16 Simmungbat ni Saul iti ulitegna, “Nalawag nga imbagana kadakami a nasarakanen dagiti asno.” Ngem saanna nga imbaga kenkuana ti banag maipanggep iti pagarian a sinarita ni Samuel.

And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.

17 Ita, inayaban ni Samuel dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Mispa.

Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;

18 Kinunana kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: 'Inruarko ti Israel manipud idiay Egipto, ken inispalkayo manipud iti ima dagiti taga-Egipto, ken manipud iti ima dagiti amin a pagarian a nangidadanes kadakayo.'

And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:

19 Ngem ita nga aldaw linaksidyo ti Diosyo, a mangisalsalakan kadakayo manipud iti amin a didigra ken pakariribukanyo; ken imbagayo kenkuana, 'Mangisaadka iti maysa nga ari a mangituray kadakami.' Ita, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh sigun kadagiti tribu ken kadagiti puliyo.”

But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.

20 Isu a pinaasideg ni Samuel dagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, ket napili ti tribu ni Benjamin.

So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

21 pinaasidegna ti tribu ni Benjamin sigun kadagiti pulida; ket napili ti puli dagiti Matrita; ket napili ni Saul nga anak a lalaki ni Kis. Ngem idi napanda a binirok isuna, saanda a mabirokan isuna.

Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.

22 Kalpasanna, kayat dagiti tattao ti agdamag pay iti Dios, “Adda kadi pay sabali a lalaki nga umay?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Naglemmeng isuna kadagiti gargaret.”

So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.

23 Timmarayda ngarud a mapan mangala kenni Saul sadiay. Idi timmakder isuna iti tengnga dagiti tattao, nataytayag isuna ngem kadagiti tattao ket pagat-abagana laeng ida.

So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

24 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Makitayo kadi ti tao a pinili ni Yahweh? Awan iti kas kenkuana kadigiti amin a tattao!” Impukkaw dagiti amin a tattao, “Agbiag ti ari!”

And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!

25 Kalpasanna, imbaga ni Samuel kadagiti tattao dagiti kaugalian ken pagannurotan iti kinaari, insuratna dagitoy iti maysa a libro, ket inkabilna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Kalpasanna, pinagawid ni Samuel dagiti amin a tattao, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a balay.

Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

26 Nagawid met ni Saul iti balayna idiay Gabaa, ket kimmuyog kenkuana dagiti dadduma a napipigsa a lallaki, nga akin-puso kadagiti sinagid ti Dios.

And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.

27 Ngem kinuna dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga awan serserbina, “Kasanonatayo a maisalakan daytoy a tao?” Inumsi dagitoy a tattao ni Saul ken saanda a nangiyeg kadagiti aniaman a sagut kenkuana. Ngem nagulimek laeng ni Saul.

But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.
