¹Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

¹Markaasaa 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?

²When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

²Maanta 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?

³Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

³Oo 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.

⁴And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.

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

⁵After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

⁵Oo 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.

⁶And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

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

⁷And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

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

⁸And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.

⁸Oo 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.

⁹And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

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

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Oo 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.

¹¹And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

¹¹Oo 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?

¹²And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

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

¹³And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.

¹³Oo markuu dhammeeyey waxsheegiddii ayuu yimid meeshii sare.

¹⁴And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.

¹⁴Markaasaa 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.

¹⁵And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.

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

¹⁶And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.

¹⁶Kolkaasaa 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.

¹⁷And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;

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

¹⁸And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD 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 kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:

¹⁸oo 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.

¹⁹And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.

¹⁹Laakiinse 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.

²⁰And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

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

²¹When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.

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

²²Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold he hath hid himself among the stuff.

²²Sidaas 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.

²³And 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.

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

²⁴And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

²⁴Markaasaa 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.

²⁵Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

²⁵Kolkaasaa 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.

²⁶And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.

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

²⁷But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace.

²⁷Laakiinse 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.
