1Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Samuel ang sisidlan ng langis, at ibinuhos sa ulo niya, at hinagkan niya siya, at sinabi, Hindi ba ang Panginoon ang nagpahid sa iyo ng langis upang maging prinsipe ka sa kaniyang mana? 2Paghiwalay mo sa akin ngayon, ay masusumpungan mo nga ang dalawang lalake sa siping ng libingan ni Rachel, sa hangganan ng Benjamin sa Selsah; at sasabihin nila sa iyo, Ang mga asno na iyong hinahanap ay nasumpungan na; at, narito, niwalang bahala ng iyong ama ang mga asno, at ang inaalaala ay kayo, na sinasabi, Paano ang aking gagawin sa aking anak? 3Kung magkagayo'y magpapatuloy ka mula roon, at darating ka sa ensina ng Tabor; at masasalubong ka roon ng tatlong lalake na inaahon ang Dios sa Beth-el, ang isa'y may dalang tatlong batang kambing, at ang isa'y may dalang tatlong tinapay, at ang isa'y may dalang isang balat na sisidlan ng alak: 4At babatiin ka nila, at bibigyan ka ng dalawang tinapay, na iyong tatanggapin sa kanilang kamay. 5Pagkatapos ay darating ka sa burol ng Dios, na nandoon ang isang pulutong ng mga Filisteo: at mangyayari pagdating mo roon sa bayan, na makakasalubong ka ng isang pulutong na mga propeta na lumulusong mula sa mataas na dako, na may salterio, at pandereta, at flauta, at alpa sa harap nila; at sila'y magsisipanghula. 6At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sasaiyo, at manghuhula kang kasama nila, at ikaw ay magiging ibang lalake. 7At mano nawa, na pagka ang mga tandang ito ay mangyari sa iyo, na gawin mo ang idudulot ng pagkakataon; sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasaiyo. 8At ikaw ay lulusong na una sa akin sa Gilgal; at, narito, lulusungin kita, upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at maghain ng mga hain na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan: pitong araw na maghihintay ka, hanggang sa ako'y pumaroon sa iyo, at ituro sa iyo kung ano ang iyong gagawin. 9At nangyaring gayon, na nang kaniyang matalikdan na iwan niya si Samuel, ay binigyan siya ng Dios ng ibang puso: at ang lahat na tandang yaon ay nangyari sa araw na yaon. 10At nang sila'y dumating doon sa burol, narito, isang pulutong na mga propeta ay nasasalubong niya; at ang Espiritu ng Dios ay makapangyarihang suma kaniya, at siya'y nanghula sa gitna nila. 11At nangyari nang makita siya ng lahat na nakakakilala sa kaniya nang una, na, narito siya'y nanghuhulang kasama ng mga propeta, ay nagsalisalitaan ang bayan, Ano itong nangyari sa anak ni Cis? Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta? 12At isang taga dakong yaon ay sumagot at nagsabi, At sino ang kanilang ama? Kaya't naging kawikaan, Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta? 13At nang siya'y makatapos ng panghuhula, siya'y sumampa sa mataas na dako. 14At sinabi ng amain ni Saul sa kaniya at sa kaniyang bataan, Saan kayo naparoon? At kaniyang sinabi, Upang hanapin ang mga asno, at nang aming makita na hindi mangasumpungan, ay naparoon kami kay Samuel. 15At sinabi ng amain ni Saul, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na saysayin mo sa akin, kung ano ang sinabi ni Samuel sa inyo. 16At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang amain, Sinabi niyang maliwanag sa amin na ang mga asno ay nasumpungan na. Nguni't tungkol sa bagay ng kaharian, na sinalita ni Samuel, ay hindi niya isinaysay sa kaniya. 17At tinipon ni Samuel ang bayan sa Panginoon sa Mizpa; 18At sinabi niya sa mga anak ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Iniahon ko ang Israel mula sa Egipto, at pinapaging laya ko kayo sa kamay ng mga taga Egipto, at sa kamay ng lahat ng mga kaharian na pumighati sa inyo: 19Nguni't itinakuwil ninyo sa araw na ito ang inyong Dios, na siyang nagligtas sa inyo sa lahat ng mga inyong kasakunaan at mga kapighatian; at sinabi ninyo sa kaniya, Hindi, kundi lagyan mo kami ng isang hari. Ngayon nga'y humarap kayo sa Panginoon ayon sa inyoinyong mga lipi, at ayon sa inyong mga libolibo. 20Sa gayo'y pinalapit ni Samuel ang lahat ng mga lipi, at ang lipi ni Benjamin ang napili. 21At kaniyang inilapit ang lipi ni Benjamin ayon sa kaniyang mga angkan; at ang angkan ni Matri ay siyang napili; at si Saul na anak ni Cis, ay siyang napili: nguni't nang kanilang hanapin siya ay hindi nasumpungan. 22Kaya't kanilang itinanong uli sa Panginoon, May lalake pa bang paririto? At ang Panginoon ay sumagot, Narito siya'y nagtago sa mga kasangkapan. 23At sila'y tumakbo at kinuha nila siya roon; at nang siya'y tumayo sa gitna ng bayan, ay mataas siya kay sa sinoman sa bayan, mula sa kaniyang mga balikat at paitaas. 24At sinabi ni Samuel sa buong bayan, Nakikita ba ninyo siya na pinili ng Panginoon, na walang gaya niya sa buong bayan? At ang buong bayan ay sumigaw, at nagsabi, Mabuhay ang hari. 25Nang magkagayo'y sinaysay ni Samuel sa bayan ang paraan ng kaharian, at isinulat sa isang aklat, at inilagay sa harap ng Panginoon. At pinayaon ni Samuel ang buong bayan, na pinauwi bawa't tao sa kaniyang bahay. 26At si Saul man ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa; at yumaong kasama niya ang hukbo, na ang kanilang mga kalooban ay kinilos ng Dios. 27Nguni't sinabi ng ilang hamak na tao, Paanong ililigtas tayo ng taong ito? At kanilang niwalang kabuluhan at hindi nila dinalhan ng kaloob. Nguni't siya'y hindi umimik.
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.
