1 Samoela 10
1 Ary Samoela nitondra tavoara feno diloilo ka nanidina ny diloilo teo an-dohan’ i Saoly, dia nanoroka azy ka nanao hoe: Tsy nanosotra anao va Jehovah mba ho mpanapaka ny lovany?
Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?
2 Rehefa misaraka amiko ianao anio, dia hahita olona roa lahy eo anilan’ ny fasan-dRahely, ao amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Benjamina, ao Zelza, ary izy ireo hilaza aminao hoe: Efa hita ny boriky izay notadiavinao; ary, indro, tsy ny boriky intsony no heverin’ ny rainao, fa ianareo kosa indray no ahiny, ka hoy izy: Ahoana re no hataoko ny amin’ ny zanako?
When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
3 Dia handroso hiala ao ianao ka ho tonga ao amin’ ny hazo terebinta any Tabara, dia hifanena amin’ ny olona telo lahy miakatra ho any amin’ Andriamanitra any Betela, ny anankiray mitondra zanak’ osy telo, ny anankiray mitondra mofo telo, ary ny anankiray mitondra divay iray tavoara;
Then you will go on from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.
4 ary hiarahaba anao ireo sy hanome anao mofo roa, dia horaisinao amin’ ny tànany izany.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hands.
5 Rehefa afaka izany, dia ho tonga any Gibean’ Andriamanitra ianao, izay misy miaramilan’ ny Filistina; ary rehefa tonga ao an-tanàna ianao, dia hifanena amin’ ny mpaminany maro irai-dia midìna avy ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo mitondra lokanga sy ampongatapaka sy sodina ary valiha eo alohany, dia haminany ireo.
After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
6 Ary hilatsaka aminao ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ka hiara-maminany aminy ianao, dia ho voaova ho olom-baovao.
Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
7 Ary rehefa tonga aminao ireo famantarana ireo, dia ataovy izay azon’ ny tananao atao, fa Andriamanitra no momba anao.
When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8 Ary ianao hidina eo alohako ho any Gilgala, ary indro aho hidina ho any aminao mba hanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana; ka hafitoana no hitoeranao mandra-pahatongako aminao, dia holazaiko aminao izay hataonao.
And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 Ary raha vao nihodina niala tamin’ i Samoela izy, dia nomen’ Andriamanitra fo vaovao; ary tonga avokoa androtrizay ihany ireo famantarana rehetra ireo.
As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.
10 Ary rehefa tonga tany Gibea, izy indro, ny mpaminany maro irai-dia nifanena taminy; dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Saoly ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka naminany teo aminy izy.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.
11 Ary nony hitan’ izay rehetra nahalala azy hatramin’ ny taloha fa, indro, maminany eo amin’ ny mpaminany izy, dia nifampilaza ny olona ka nanao hoe: Inona izao tonga amin’ ny zanak’ i Kisy izao? Saoly koa va mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Ary ny anankiray teo namaly hoe: Fa iza moa no rain’ ireny? Ary izany no nisehoan’ ny fitenenana hoe: Saoly koa va mba isan’ ny mpaminany?
Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Ary rehefa nitsahatra naminany Saoly, dia nankeo amin’ ny fitoerana avo.
And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.
14 Ary hoy ny rahalahin-drain’ i Saoly taminy sy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Taiza no alehanareo? Ary hoy izy: Nitady ny boriky izahay; ka nony tsy hitanay izy, dia nankany amin’ i Samoela izahay.
Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15 Ary hoy ny rahalahin-drain’ i Saoly: Masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay nolazain’ i Samoela taminao.
“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”
16 Dia hoy Saoly tamin’ ny rahalahin-drainy: Nolazainy marimarina taminay fa efa hita ny boriky. Fa ilay nolazain’ i Samoela ny amin’ ny fanjakana tsy mba nambarany taminy.
And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 Ary Samoela namory ny vahoaka ho any Mizpa ho any amin’ i Jehovah
After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
18 ka nanao tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izaho nitondra ny Isiraely niakatra avy tany Egypta ka namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana sy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fanjakana rehetra izay nampahory anareo.
and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
19 Nefa ianareo kosa efa nandà an’ Andriamanitrareo androany, Izay mamonjy anareo amin’ ny zavatra manjo anareo sy ny fahorianareo rehetra; fa hoy ianareo taminy: Tsia, fa manendre mpanjaka ho anay. Koa ankehitriny, mijanòna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah araka ny firenenareo sy ny arivonareo avy.
But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
20 Dia nampanatona ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra Samoela, ka ny firenen’ i Benjamina no voafidy.
Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
21 Dia nampanatona ny firenen’ i Benjamina araka ny fokony avy izy, ary ny fokon’ ny Matrita no voafidy. Dia voafidy Saoly, zanak’ i Kisy; ary raha nitady azy ny olona, dia tsy nahita azy.
Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
22 Dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah indray ny olona, na mba efa tonga ao ralehilahy, na tsia. Ary hoy Jehovah: Indro, miery ao amin’ ny entana izy.
So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Dia nihazakazaka ny olona ka naka azy tao; ary rehefa nitsangana teo afovoan’ ny olona izy, dia nanan-tombo noho ny olona rehetra hatramin’ ny sorony no ho miakatra ny halavany.
So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
24 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra: Hitanareo va izay nofidin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy misy tahaka azy eo amin’ ny vahoaka rehetra? Dia nihoby ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka.
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
25 Ary Samoela nilaza tamin’ ny olona izay mety ho fitondrana ny fanjakana, dia nosoratany tamin’ ny taratasy izany ka napetrany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra samy nampodin’ i Samoela ho any an-tranony avy.
Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
26 Fa Saoly kosa nandeha nody tany Gibea, ary nomba azy ny olona maro, izay voatendrin’ ny tànan’ Andriamanitra ny fony.
Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
27 Fa nisy kosa olona tena ratsy fanahy nanao hoe: Hataon’ io lehilahy io ahoana no famonjy antsika? Dia nanazimba an’ i Saoly ireo ka tsy nitondra fanomezana ho azy. Nefa Saoly dia tahaka ny marenina.
But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
