1 M arkaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu qaaday weel saliid ah, kolkaasuu madaxiisii ku shubay, oo intuu dhunkaday ayuu yidhi, Sow Rabbigu kuuma subkin inaad amiir u ahaatid dhaxalkiisa?

Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because Jehovah has anointed thee prince over his inheritance?

2 M aanta markaad iga tagto, waxaad laba nin ka heli doontaa qabriga Raaxeel agtiisa, kaasoo ku yaal soohdinta reer Benyaamiinka Selsax ku jira, oo waxay kugu odhan doonaan, Dameerihii aad soo doontay waa la helay, oo bal eeg, aabbahaa dameerihii wuu ka dan baxay, oo adiga aawadaa buu ka fikirayaa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Maxaan wiilkaygii u sameeyaa?

When thou goest from me to-day, thou shalt meet two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The asses are found which thou wentest to seek, and behold, thy father has dismissed the matter of the asses, and is anxious about you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

3 O o halkaasna waad ka sii socon doontaa oo waxaad iman doontaa geedka Taaboor, oo halkaasna waxaad kula kulmi doontaa saddex nin oo u socota xagga Ilaah iyo ilaa Beytel; mid wuxuu sidaa saddex orgi oo yaryar, mid kalena wuxuu sidaa saddex xabbadood oo kibis ah, kan kalena wuxuu sidaa sibraar khamri ah.

And thou shalt go on forward from thence, and shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God, to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three cakes of bread, and another carrying a flask of wine.

4 W ay ku salaami doonaan, oo waxay ku siin doonaan laba xabbadood oo kibis ah, oo aad gacantooda ka guddoomi doonto.

And they will ask after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves, which thou shalt receive of their hands.

5 O o taas dabadeedna waxaad iman doontaa buurta Ilaah, meeshaasoo ay joogaan ciidankii Falastiin, oo waxay noqon doontaa markaad magaalada timaadid inaad la kulmi doonto guuto nebiyo ah ee ka soo degaysa meesha sare iyagoo horta ku sita shareerad, iyo daf, iyo biibiile, iyo kataarad, oo iyana wax bay sii sheegi doonaan.

After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where are the outposts of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou comest thither, into the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with lute and tambour and pipe and harp before them; and they themselves prophesying.

6 M arkaasaa Ruuxa Ilaah si xoog leh kuugu soo degi doonaa, oo markaasaad iyaga wax la sii sheegi doontaa, oo waxaad u beddelmi doontaa nin kale.

And the Spirit of Jehovah will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

7 H addaba markii calaamooyinkaasu ku soo gaadhaan, waxaad samaysaa wixii ku soo gaadha oo dhanba, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa kula jira.

And it shall be, when these signs shall come to thee, thou shalt do as thy hand shall find; for God is with thee.

8 O o waxaad ku dhaadhacdaa, oo iga hor martaa xagga Gilgaal; oo bal eeg, anna waan kuu iman doonaa, inaan bixiyo qurbaanno la gubo, iyo inaan bixiyo qurbaanno nabaadiino. Toddoba maalmood waa inaad i sugtaa, ilaa aan kuu imaado oo aan ku tuso waxaad samayn doonto. Saa'uul Oo Laga Dhigay Boqor

And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to thee, to offer up burnt-offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait, until I come to thee and inform thee what thou shalt do.

9 O o waxaa dhacday markuu dhabarka u jeediyey Samuu'eel, inuu Ilaah siiyey qalbi kale, oo calaamooyinkaasi oo dhammuna maalintaasay wada ahaadeen.

And it was that when he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

10 O o markay buurtii yimaadeen waxaa la kulmay guuto nebiyo ah, oo Ruuxii Ilaahna si xoog leh ayuu ugu soo degay isagii, markaasuu dhexdoodii wax ka sii sheegay.

And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

11 O o kuwii mar hore isaga yiqiin oo dhammu, markay arkeen inuu nebiyada wax la sii sheegayo, ayaa dadkii midba kan kale ku yidhi, War waa maxay waxan ku dhacay wiilkii Qiish? Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

12 O o mid halkaas joogay ayaa isna yidhi, Oo aabbahoodna waa kuma? Sidaas daraaddeed taasu waxay noqotay maahmaah; Saa'uulna ma nebiyaduu ka mid yahay?

And a man of that place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

13 O o markuu dhammeeyey waxsheegiddii ayuu yimid meeshii sare.

And when he had ended prophesying, he came to the high place.

14 M arkaasaa Saa'uul adeerkiis wuxuu ku yidhi isagii iyo midiidinkiisiiba, War xaggee baad tagteen? Markaasuu yidhi, Dameerihii baannu doonnay, oo markaannu ogaannay inaan la helin ayaannu Samuu'eel u nimid.

And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel.

15 M arkaasaa Saa'uul adeerkiis wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg wixii Samuu'eel idinku yidhi.

And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.

16 K olkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu adeerkiis ku yidhi, Bayaan buu noogu sheegay in dameerihii la helay. Laakiinse xagga waxa boqortooyadii ku saabsan Samuu'eel ka hadlay uma uu sheegin.

And Saul said to his uncle, He told us for certain that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he told him not.

17 O o Samuu'eelna dadkii buu dhammaan isugu yeedhay xagga Rabbiga ilaa Misfaah;

And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.

18 o o wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil sidaasuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, anaa Masar idinka soo bixiyey oo anaa idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo kulli boqortooyooyinkii idin dulmay gacantoodii oo dhan.

And he said to the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;

19 L aakiinse idinku maanta waad diiddeen Ilaahiinnii idinka badbaadshay belaayooyinkiinnii iyo dhibaatooyinkiinnii oo dhan, oo waxaad isagii ku tidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse boqor noo yeel. Haddaba Rabbiga hortiisa ku soo ururiya qabiilooyinkiinna, iyo kumanyaalkiinna.

but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your troubles, and have said unto him, but a king shalt thou set over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.

20 S idaas aawadeed Samuu'eel wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxaa lala baxay qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin.

And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

21 O o haddana wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin oo qoys qoys ah, oo waxaa lala baxay qoyskii reer Matrii, oo waxaa kaloo lala baxay Saa'uul oo ahaa ina Qiish; laakiinse markay doondooneen waa la waayay.

And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, and the family of Matri was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken. And they sought him, but he was not to be found.

22 S idaas daraaddeed Rabbiga wax kalay sii weyddiiyeen, Weli ma waxaa jira nin kaloo halkan imanaya? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Bal eega, alaabta dhexdeeda ayuu ku dhuuntaye.

Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Will the man yet come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.

23 O o intay ordeen ayay halkaas ka soo kexeeyeen, oo markuu dadkii soo dhex joogsaday, wuu ka dheeraa dadkii oo dhan garbihiisa iyo waxa ka sarreeyaba.

And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

24 M arkaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Ma aragtaan kan Rabbigu doortay inaan mid la mid ahu dadka ku jirin? Kolkaasaa dadkii oo dhammu dhawaaqeen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqorku ha noolaado.

And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, May the king live.

25 K olkaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii u sheegay sida boqortooyada xaalkeedu noqon doono, oo buug buuna ku qoray, oo Rabbiga hortiisa dhigay. Samuu'eelna markaasuu dadkii oo dhan iska diray, oo nin waluba gurigiisii buu tegey.

And Samuel told the people the right of the kingdom, and wrote it in the book, and laid it before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

26 O o Saa'uulna wuxuu tegey gurigiisii oo Gibecaah ku yiil; oo waxaa raacay isagii rag geesiyo ah, oo qalbigooda Ilaah taabtay.

And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and with him went the band, whose hearts God had touched.

27 L aakiinse kuwo waxmatarayaal ah ayaa waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkanu sidee buu noo badbaadin doonaa? Oo isagiina way quudhsadeen, oo hadiyadna uma ay keenin. Laakiinse isagu wuu iska aamusay.

But the children of Belial said, How should this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no gifts. But he was as one deaf.
