< 1 Samweli 9 >

1 Basi kulikuwa na mtu mmoja kutoka Benyamini, mtu mashuhuri. Jina lake aliitwa Kishi mwana wa Abieli, mwana wa Zerori, mwana wa Bekorathi, mwana wa Afia, mwana wa Mbenyamini.
And `a man was of Beniamyn, `Cys bi name, the sone of Abiel, sone of Seor, sone of Bethor, sone of Aphia, sone of the man Gemyny, strong in bodili myyt.
2 Huyu alikuwa na mtoto wa kiume aliyeitwa Sauli, kijana mzuri wa uso. Hapakuwapo mwanaume mzuri wa uso kuliko huyu miongoni mwa watu wote wa Israeli. Kutoka mabegani kwenda juu alikuwa mrefu kuliko watu wengine.
And to hym was a sone, Saul bi name, chosun and good; and no man of the sones of Israel was betere than he; fro the schuldur and aboue he apperide ouer al the puple.
3 Na punda wa Kishi, baba yake na Sauli walipotea. hivyo Kishi akamwambia Sauli mwanawe, “Mchukue mmoja wa watumishi; uamke uende kuwatafuta punda,”
Sotheli the femal assis of Cys, the fadir of Saul, perischyden. And Cys seide to Saul his sone, Take with thee oon of the children, and rise thou, and go, and seke the femal assis. And whanne thei hadden go bi the hil of Effraym,
4 Sauli akapita katika nchi ya vilima vilima ya Efraimu na akaenda akapita katika nchi ya Shalisha, lakini hawakuwaona. Kisha walipita katika nchi ya Shaalimu, lakini hawakuwa huko. Baadaye alipita katika nchi ya Wabenyamini, lakini hawakuwaona wale punda.
and bi the lond of Salisa, and hadden not foundun, thei passiden also bi the lond of Salym, and tho weren not there; but also 'thei passiden bi the lond of Gemyny, and founden not.
5 Na walipofika nchi ya Sufu, Sauli alimwambia mtumishi wake aliyekuwa naye, “Njoo na turudi, pengine baba aweza kuacha kuchunga punda na kuanza kutuhofia sisi.”
Sotheli whanne thei hadden come in to the lond of Suph, and hadden not founde, Saul seide to his child that was with hym, Come thou, and turne we ayen; lest perauenture my fadir hath lefte the femal assis, and is bisy for vs.
6 Lakini mtumishi akamwmbia, “Sikiliza, Yupo mtu wa Mungu katika mji huu. Naye ni mtu wa kuheshimiwa sana; kila asemalo huwa kweli. Hebu twende huko; labda anaweza kutuambia tupitie wapi katika safari yetu.”
Which child seide to hym, Lo! the man of God is in this citee, a noble man; al thing that he spekith, cometh with out doute. Now therfor go we thidir, if perauenture he schewe to vs of oure weie, for which we camen.
7 Ndipo Sauli akamwambia mtumish iwake, “Lakini kama tukienda kwake, twaweza kumpelekea nini? Maana hata mkate katika mfuko wetu umekwisha, na hakuna zawadi ya kumpelekea mtumishi wa Mungu. Tuna kitu gani?
And Saul seide to his child, Lo! we schulen go; what schulen we bere to the man of God? Breede failide in oure scrippis, and we han no present, that we yyue to the man of God, `nether ony othir thing.
8 Huyo mtumishi akamjibu Sauli na kusema, “Hapa, ninayo robo ya shekeli ya fedha ambayo nitampa mtumishi wa Mungu, atuambie ni njia ipi yatupasa tuiendee.”
Eft the child answeride to Saul, and seide, Lo! the fourthe part of `a stater, that is, a cicle, of siluer is foundun in myn hond; yyue we to the man of God, that he schewe to vs oure weie.
9 (Zamani katika Israeli, mtu alipotaka kujua neno kuhusu mapenzi ya Mungu, alisema, “Njoo, haya twende kwa mwonaji.” Kwa maana nabii wa leo, zamani aliitwa Mwonaji).
Sumtyme in Israel ech man goynge to counsel God spak thus, Come ye, and go we to the seere; for he, that is seid `to dai a profete, was clepid sumtyme a seere.
10 Ndipo Sauli akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Umesema vyema. Haya, njoo twende.” Basi wakaenda katika mji ambao mtu wa Mungu alikuwamo.
And Saul seide to his child, `Thi word is the beste; come thou, go we. And thei yeden in to the citee, `in which the man of God was.
11 Walipopanda mlima kuelekea mjini, walikutana na wasichana wakienda kuteka maji; Sauli na mtumishi wake wakawauliza, “Mwonaji hupo hapa?”
And whanne thei stieden in to the hiynesse of the citee, thei founden damesels goynge out to drawe watir, and thei seiden to the dameselis, Whether the seere is here?
12 Nao wakawajibu, na kusema, “Yupo; tazameni, yuko mbele yenu. Harakisheni, kwa maana anakuja mjini leo, sababu leo watu wanatoa dhabihu zao mahali pa juu.
Whiche dameselis answeriden, and seiden to hem, He is here; lo! he is bifor thee; `haste thou now, for to day he cam in to the citee; for to dai is sacrifice of the puple in the hiy place.
13 Mara tu mtakapoingia mjini mtamuona, kabla hajapanda mahali pa juu kla chakula. Watu hawatakula hata atakapokuja, kwa sababu ndiye ataibariki dhabihu; na baadaye wale ambao wamealikwa hula. Basi pandeni, mtamuona sasa hivi.”
Ye schulen entre in to the citee, and anoon ye schulen fynde hym, bifor that he stie in to the hiy place to ete; for the puple schal not ete til he come, for he schal blesse the sacrifice, and afterward thei schulen ete that ben clepid. Now therfor stie ye, for to day ye schulen fynde hym.
14 Kwa hiyo walikwea kwenda mjini. Walipokuwa wakiingia mjini, walimuona Samweli akija mbele yao, akipanda kwenda mahali pa juu.
And thei stieden in to the citee. And whanne thei yeden in the myddis of the citee, Samuel apperide goynge out ayens hem, that he schulde stie in to the hiy place.
15 Siku moja kabla Sauli hajafika, BWANA alikuwa amemfunulia Samweli:
Forsothe the Lord `hadde maad reuelacioun in the eere of Samuel `bifor o dai, that Saul cam, and seide,
16 “Kesho wakati kama huu nitakutumia mtu kutoka nchi ya Benyamini, nawe utamtia mafuta awe mfalme juu ya watu wangu Israeli. Atawaokoa watu wangu kutoka mkono wa Wafilisti. Kwa kuwa nimewaonea huruma watu wangu na kilio cha kutaka msaada kimenifikia.”
In this same our which is now to morewe, Y schal sende to thee a man of the lond of Beniamyn, and thou schalt anoynte hym duyk on my puple Israel, and he schal saue my puple fro the hond of Filisteis; for Y haue biholde my puple, for `the cry of hem cam to me.
17 Samweli alipomuona Sauli, BWANA akamwambia, “Huyu ndiye mtu niliyekwambia habari zake! Yeye ndiye atakayewatawala watu wangu.”
And whanne Samuel hadde biholde Saul, the Lord seide to Samuel, Lo! the man, whom Y seide to thee; this man schal be lord of my puple.
18 Ndipo Sauli akaja karibu na Samweli katika lango na kusema, “Niambie nyumba ya Mwonaji iko wapi?
Forsothe Saul neiyede to Samuel in the myddis of the yate, and seide, Y preye, schewe thou to me, where is the hows of the seere?
19 Samweli akamjibu Sauli akisema, “Mimi ndiye mwonaji. Tangulia mbele hadi mahali pa juu, nami nitakueleza kila kitu kilichomoyoni mwako.
And Samuel answeride to Saul, and seide, Y am the seere; stie thou bifor me in to the hiy place, that thou ete with me to dai, and Y schal delyuere thee in the morewtid, and Y schal schewe to thee alle thingis that ben in thin herte.
20 Kama punda wenu waliopotea siku tatu zilizopita, msihofu kuhusu hao punda, kwa kuwa wamekwishapatikana. Na yote yaliyotamanika kwa ajili ya Israeli yanamwangukia nani? Siyo kwako na nyumba ya baba yako yote?”
And be thou not bisy of the femal assis, whiche thou lostist the thridde dai agoon, for tho ben foundun; and whose schulen be alle the beste thingis of Israel, whether not to thee, and to al the hows of thi fader?
21 Sauli akamjibu na kusema, Siyo mimi Mbenyamini, kutoka kabila lililo dogo sana kwa makabila ya Israeli? Siyo ukoo wangu ulio mdogo sana kwa kabila la Benyamini? Kwa nini basi unaniambia kwa namna hii?”
Sotheli Saul answeride, and seide, Whether Y am not a sone of Gemyny, of the leeste lynage of Israel, and my kynrede is the laste among alle the meynees of the lynage of Beniamyn? Whi therfor hast thou spoke to me this word?
22 Hivyo Samweli akamchukua Sauli na mtumishi wake, akawaingiza ukumbini, akawakalisha mahali pa heshima pa wale walioalikwa, idadi yao takribani watu thelathini.
Therfor Samuel took Saul, and his child, and ledde hem in to the chaumbur of thre ordris, and he yaf to hem a place in the bigynnyng of hem that weren clepid; for thei weren as thretti men.
23 Samweli akamwambia mpishi, “Lete sehemu niliyokupatia, sehemu ambayo nilikwambia hivi, “Itenge.”'
And Samuel seide to the cook, Yyue thou the part, which Y yaf to thee, and comaundide, that thou schuldist kepe bi it silf anentis thee.
24 Basi mpishi alichukua paja lililokuwa limeinuliwa katika dhabihu na kile kilichokuwa pamoja nalo, akaitenga mbele ya Sauli. Kisha Samweli akasema, “Angalia kile kilichokuwa kimetunzwa kwa ajili yako! Kula, kwa sababu kilitunzwa hadi wakati maalum ufike kwa ajili yako. Na kwa sasa waweza kusema, 'Nimewaalika watu.”' Kwa hiyo Sauli alikula pamoja na Samweli siku hiyo.
Sotheli the cook reiside the schuldir, and settide bifor Saul. And Samuel seide, Lo! that, that lefte, `sette thou bifor thee, and ete; for of purpos it was kept to thee, whanne Y clepide the puple. And Saul eet with Samuel in that dai.
25 Walipokuwa wamekwisha shuka chini kutoka sehemu ya juu na kuingia mjini, Samweli akazungumza na Sauli darini.
And thei camen doun fro the hiy place in to the citee; and Samuel spak with Saul in the soler, and Saul `araiede a bed in the soler, and slepte.
26 Na kulipopambazuka, Samweli alimwita Sauli darini na kusema, “Amka, kusudi nikusindikize uende zako,” Hivyo Sauli aliamka, na wote wawili, yeye na Samweli walitoka kwenda mtaani.
And whanne thei hadden rise eerli, and `now it bigan to be cleer, Samuel clepide Saul in to the soler, and seide, Rise thou, that Y delyuere thee. And Saul roos, and bothe yeden out, that is, he, and Samuel.
27 Walipokuwa wakienda nje ya viunga vya mji, Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Mwambie mtumishi wako atanguliye mbele yetu(na alitangulia mbele), Lakini wewe sharti usubiri kidogo, nipate kukuambia ujumbe wa Mungu.”
And whanne thei yeden doun in the laste part of the citee, Samuel seide to Saul, Seie thou to the child, that he go bifor vs, and passe; forsothe stonde thou a litil, that Y schewe to thee the word of the Lord.
