사무엘상 10

1이에 사무엘이 기름병을 취하여 사울의 머리에 붓고 입맞추어 가로되 여호와께서 네게 기름을 부으사 그 기업의 지도자를 삼지 아니하셨느냐 2네가 오늘 나를 떠나가다가 베냐민 경계 셀사에 있는 라헬의 묘실 곁에서 두 사람을 만나리니 그들이 네게 이르기를 네가 찾으러 갔던 암나귀들을 찾은지라 네 아비가 암나귀들의 염려는 놓았으나 너희를 인하여 걱정하여 가로되 내 아들을 위하여 어찌하리요 하더라 할 것이요 3네가 거기서 더 나아가서 다볼 상수리나무에 이르면 거기서 하나님께 뵈려고 벧엘로 올라가는 세 사람이 너와 만나리니 하나는 염소 새끼 셋을 이끌었고 하나는 떡 세덩이를 가졌고 하나는 포도주 한 가죽부대를 가진 자라 4그들이 네게 문안하고 떡 두 덩이를 주겠고 너는 그 손에서 받으리라 5그 후에 네가 하나님의 산에 이르리니 그곳에는 블레셋 사람의 영문이 있느니라 네가 그리로 가서 그 성읍으로 들어갈 때에 선지자의 무리가 산당에서부터 비파와 소고와 저와 수금을 앞세우고 예언하며 내려오는 것을 만날 것이요 6네게는 여호와의 신이 크게 임하리니 너도 그들과 함께 예언을 하고 변하여 새 사람이 되리라 7이 징조가 네게 임하거든 너는 기회를 따라 행하라 하나님이 너와 함께 하시느니라 8너는 나보다 앞서 길갈로 내려가라 내가 네게로 내려가서 번제와 화목제를 드리리니 내가 네게 가서 너의 행할 것을 가르칠 때까지 칠 일을 기다리라 9그가 사무엘에게서 떠나려고 몸을 돌이킬 때에 하나님이 새 마음을 주셨고 그 날 그 징조도 다 응하니라 10그들이 산에 이를 때에 선지자의 무리가 그를 영접하고 하나님의 신이 사울에게 크게 임하므로 그가 그들 중에서 예언을 하니 11전에 사울을 알던 모든 사람이 사울의 선지자들과 함께 예언함을 보고 서로 이르되 기스의 아들의 당한 일이 무엇이뇨 사울도 선지자들 중에 있느냐 하고 12그곳의 어떤 사람은 말하여 이르되 그들의 아비가 누구냐 한지라 그러므로 속담이 되어 가로되 사울도 선지자들 중에 있느냐 하더라 13사울이 예언하기를 마치고 산당으로 가니라 14사울의 숙부가 사울과 그 사환에게 이르되 너희가 어디로 갔더냐 사울이 가로되 암나귀들을 찾다가 얻지 못하므로 사무엘에게 갔었나이다 15사울의 숙부가 가로되 청하노니 사무엘이 너희에게 이른 말을 내게 고하라 16사울이 그 숙부에게 말하되 그가 암나귀들을 찾았다고 우리에게 분명히 말하더이다 하고 사무엘의 말하던 나라의 일은 고하지 아니하니라 17사무엘이 백성을 미스바로 불러 여호와 앞에 모으고 18이스라엘 자손에게 이르되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시기를 내가 이스라엘을 애굽에서 인도하여 내고 너희를 애굽인의 손과 너희를 압제하는 모든 나라의 손에서 건져내었느니라 하셨거늘 19너희가 너희를 모든 재난과 고통 중에서 친히 구원하여 내신 너희 하나님을 오늘날 버리고 이르기를 우리 위에 왕을 세우라 하도다 그런즉 이제 너희 지파대로 천 명씩 여호와 앞에 나아오라 하고 20사무엘이 이에 이스라엘 모든 지파를 가까이 오게 하였더니 베냐민 지파가 뽑혔고 21베냐민 지파를 그 가족대로 가까이 오게 하였더니 마드리의 가족이 뽑혔고 그 중에서 기스의 아들 사울이 뽑혔으나 그를 찾아도 만나지 못한지라 22그러므로 그들이 또 여호와께 묻되 그 사람이 여기 왔나이까 여호와께서 대답하시되 그가 행구 사이에 숨었느니라 23그들이 달려가서 거기서 데려오매 그가 백성 중에 서니 다른 사람보다 어깨 위나 더 크더라 24사무엘이 모든 백성에게 이르되 너희는 여호와의 택하신 자를 보느냐 모든 백성 중에 짝할 이가 없느니라 하니 모든 백성이 왕의 만세를 외쳐 부르니라 25사무엘이 나라의 제도를 백성에게 말하고 책에 기록하여 여호와 앞에 두고 모든 백성을 각기 집으로 보내매 26사울도 기브아 자기 집으로 갈 때에 마음이 하나님께 감동된 유력한 자들은 그와 함께 갔어도 27어떤 비류는 가로되 이 사람이 어떻게 우리를 구원하겠느냐 하고 멸시하며 예물을 드리지 아니하니라 그러나 그는 잠잠하였더라

1Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, “Isn’t it that Yahweh has anointed you to be prince over his inheritance? 2When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel’s tomb, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’ 3“Then you shall go on forward from there, and you shall come to the oak of Tabor; and three men shall meet you there going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 4and they will greet you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive of their hand. 5“After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying: 6and the Spirit of Yahweh will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man. 7Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you. 8“You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do.” 9It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs happened that day. 10When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them. 11When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12One of the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 13When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 14Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.” 15Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.” 16Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him. 17Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah; 18and he said to the children of Israel, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:’ 19but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes, and by your thousands.” 20So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 21He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found. 22Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” Yahweh answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.” 23They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 24Samuel said to all the people, “You see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted, and said, “Let the king live!” 25Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. 26Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the army, whose hearts God had touched. 27But certain worthless fellows said, “How shall this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.

1Toen nam Samuel een oliekruik, en goot ze uit op zijn hoofd, en kuste hem, en zeide: Is het niet alzo, dat de HEERE u tot een voorganger over Zijn erfdeel gezalfd heeft? 2Als gij heden van mij gaat, zo zult gij twee mannen vinden bij het graf van Rachel, aan de landpale van Benjamin, te Zelzah; die zullen tot u zeggen: De ezelinnen zijn gevonden, die gij zijt gaan zoeken, en zie, uw vader heeft de zaken der ezelinnen verlaten, en hij is bekommerd voor ulieden, zeggende: Wat zal ik om mijn zoon doen? 3Als gij u van daar en verder aan begeeft, en zult komen tot aan Elon-Thabor, daar zullen u drie mannen vinden, opgaande tot God naar Beth-El; een, dragende drie bokjes, en een, dragende drie bollen broods, en een, dragende een fles wijn. 4En zij zullen u naar uw welstand vragen, en zij zullen u twee broden geven; die zult gij van hun hand nemen. 5Daarna zult gij komen op den heuvel Gods, waar der Filistijnen bezettingen zijn; en het zal geschieden, als gij aldaar in de stad komt, zo zult gij ontmoeten een hoop profeten, van de hoogte afkomende, en voor hun aangezichten luiten, en trommelen, en pijpen, en harpen, en zij zullen profeteren. 6En de Geest des HEEREN zal vaardig worden over u, en gij zult met hen profeteren; en gij zult in een anderen man veranderd worden. 7En het zal geschieden, als u deze tekenen zullen komen, doe gij, wat uw hand vinden zal, want God zal met u zijn. 8Gij nu zult voor mijn aangezicht afgaan naar Gilgal, en zie, ik zal tot u afkomen, om brandofferen te offeren, om te offeren offeranden der dankzegging; zeven dagen zult gij daar beiden, totdat ik tot u kome, en u bekend make, wat gij doen zult. 9Het geschiedde nu, toen hij zijn schouder keerde, om van Samuel te gaan, veranderde God hem het hart in een ander; en al die tekenen kwamen ten zelven dage. 10Toen zij daar aan den heuvel kwamen, zie, zo kwam hem een hoop profeten tegemoet; en de Geest des HEEREN werd vaardig over hem, en hij profeteerde in het midden van hen. 11En het geschiedde, als een iegelijk, die hem van te voren gekend had, zag, dat hij, ziet, profeteerde met de profeten, zo zeide het volk, een ieder tot zijn metgezel: Wat is dit, dat den zoon van Kis geschied is? Is Saul ook onder de profeten? 12Toen antwoordde een man van daar, en zeide: Wie is toch hun vader? Daarom is het tot een spreekwoord geworden: Is Saul ook onder de profeten? 13Toen hij nu voleind had te profeteren, zo kwam hij op de hoogte. 14En Sauls oom zeide tot hem en tot zijn jongen: Waar zijt gijlieden heengegaan? Hij nu zeide: Om de ezelinnen te zoeken; toen wij zagen, dat zij er niet waren, zo kwamen wij tot Samuel. 15Toen zeide Sauls oom: Geef mij toch te kennen, wat heeft Samuel ulieden gezegd? 16Saul nu zeide tot zijn oom: Hij heeft ons voorzeker te kennen gegeven, dat de ezelinnen gevonden waren; maar de zaak des koninkrijks, waarvan Samuel gezegd had, gaf hij hem niet te kennen. 17Doch Samuel riep het volk te zamen tot den HEERE, te Mizpa. 18En hij zeide tot de kinderen Israels: Alzo heeft de HEERE, de God Israel, gesproken: Ik heb Israel uit Egypte opgebracht, en Ik heb ulieden van de hand der Egyptenaren gered, en van de hand van alle koninkrijken, die u onderdrukten. 19Maar gijlieden hebt heden uw God verworpen, Die u uit al uw ellenden en uw noden verlost heeft, en hebt tot Hem gezegd: Zet een koning over ons; nu dan, stelt u voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, naar uw stammen en naar uw duizenden. 20Toen nu Samuel al de stammen van Israel had doen naderen, zo is de stam van Benjamin geraakt. 21Toen hij den stam van Benjamin deed aankomen naar zijn geslachten, zo werd het geslacht van Matri geraakt; en Saul, de zoon van Kis, werd geraakt. En zij zochten hem, maar hij werd niet gevonden. 22Toen vraagden zij verder den HEERE, of die man nog derwaarts komen zou? De HEERE dan zeide: Ziet, hij heeft zich tussen de vaten verstoken. 23Zij nu liepen, en namen hem van daar, en hij stelde zich in het midden des volks; en hij was hoger dan al het volk, van zijn schouder en opwaarts. 24Toen zeide Samuel tot het ganse volk: Ziet gij, dien de HEERE verkoren heeft? Want gelijk hij, is er niemand onder het ganse volk. Toen juichte het ganse volk, en zij zeiden: de koning leve! 25Samuel nu sprak tot het volk het recht des koninkrijks, en schreef het in een boek, en legde het voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. Toen liet Samuel het ganse volk gaan, elk naar zijn huis. 26En Saul ging ook naar zijn huis te Gibea, en van het heir gingen met hem, welker hart God geroerd had. 27Doch de kinderen Belials zeiden: Wat zou ons deze verlossen? en zij verachtten hem, en brachten hem geen geschenk. Doch hij was als doof.
