1Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.
1Haddaba waxaa jiray nin reer Benyaamiin ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Qiish, oo wuxuu ahaa ina Abii'eel, ina Seroor, ina Bekoorad, ina Afiyax, oo reer Benyaamiin ah, kaasoo ahaa nin xoog leh oo geesi ah.
2He had a son, whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a better person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
2Oo isna wuxuu lahaa wiil la yidhaahdo Saa'uul, oo ahaa nin dhallinyar oo wanaagsan. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna kuma jirin qof isaga ka wanaagsan. Garbihiisa iyo waxa ka sarreeyaaba way ka dheeraayeen dadka kale oo dhan.
3The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son, “Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go seek the donkeys.”
3Qiish oo ahaa Saa'uul aabbihiis ayaa dameerihiisii ka lumeen. Markaasaa Qiish wuxuu wiilkiisii Saa'uul ku yidhi, midiidinnada midkood kaxee, oo kac, oo dameerihii doondoon.
4He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them: then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and there they weren’t there: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they didn’t find them.
4Markaasuu dhex maray dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dalkii reer Shaalishaah, laakiinse dameerihii ma ay helin. Markaasay haddana dhex mareen dalkii reer Shacaliim, oo halkaasna ma ay joogin. Oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dalkii reer Benyaamiin, laakiinse halkaasna kama ay helin.
5When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, and let us return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys, and be anxious for us.”
5Oo markay yimaadeen dalkii reer Suuf, Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii la socday ku yidhi, Ina keen aan noqonnee, waayo, waaba intaasoo aabbahay dameerihii ka hawo go'aa oo innaga inaga fikiraaye.
6He said to him, “See now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says comes surely to pass. Now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey whereon we go.”
6Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, magaaladan waxaa jooga nin Ilaah, oo isna waxaa weeyaan nin aad loo ciseeyo, oo wax alla wixii uu yidhaahdaaba run bay noqdaan, haddaba bal ina keen aynu u tagnee; mindhaa wax waa inooga sheegi karaa jidka aan mari doonno.
7Then Saul said to his servant, “But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”
7Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii ku yidhi, War haddaynu u tagno maxaan u geeynaa ninka? Waayo, kibistii weelasheenna waa ka dhammaatay, oo ma hayno hadiyad aan u geeyno ninka Ilaah. Bal maxaynu haysannaa?
8The servant answered Saul again, and said, “Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”
8Markaasaa midiidinkii mar kale u jawaabay Saa'uul, oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, gacanta waxaan ku hayaa rubuc sheqel lacag ah, haddaba kaasaan ninka Ilaah siinayaa inuu jidkeenna inoo sheego aawadeed.
9(In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, “Come, and let us go to the seer”; for he who is now called a prophet was before called a Seer.)
9(Waagii hore reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda markii nin Ilaah wax weyddiisanayo, sidan buu odhan jiray, Ina keena aan wax arkaha u tagnee, waayo, haatan kan la yidhaahdo, Nebi, waagii hore waxaa la odhan jiray, Wax arke.)
10Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come, let us go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.
10Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu midiidinkiisii ku yidhi, Wax wanaagsan baad tidhi, haddaba ina keen aan tagnee. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay galeen magaaladii ninka Ilaah joogay.
11As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, “Is the seer here?”
11Oo markay soo fuulayeen jiirtii magaalada waxay la kulmeen gabdho aroor u soo baxaya, kolkaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Wax arkihii halkan ma joogaa?
12They answered them, and said, “He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.
12Oo markaasay ugu jawaabeen, Wuu joogaa, oo wuu idinka horreeyaa, haddaba dhaqsada, waayo, isagu maantuu magaalada yimid, maxaa yeelay, dadku maantay allabari ku bixinayaan meesha sare.
13As soon as you have come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he come, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you shall find him.”
13Oo markaad magaalada gashaan, isla markaasba waad helaysaan isaga intuusan meesha sare tegin inuu wax ku cuno, waayo, dadku wax cuni maayaan ilaa uu yimaado, maxaa yeelay, isagaa allabariga ku duceeya; dabadeedna kuwii loo yeedhay way cunaan. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kaca, waayo, hadda waad helaysaan isagii.
14They went up to the city. As they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.
14Markaasay magaaladii u kaceen, oo markay magaaladii soo galeen, bal eeg, waxaa iyagii ka soo hor baxay Samuu'eel oo u socda meeshii sare.
15Now Yahweh had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,
15Haddaba Rabbigu wax buu Samuu'eel u muujiyey maalin ka horraysay intaan Saa'uul iman, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
16“Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked on my people, because their cry has come to me.”
16Berri haddaa oo kale waxaan kuu soo dirayaa nin ka yimid dalka reer Benyaamiin, haddaba waa inaad isaga subagtaa inuu amiir u ahaado dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil, oo isna wuxuu dadkayga ka badbaadin doonaa gacanta reer Falastiin, waayo, anigu waxaan soo dhugtay dadkayga, maxaa yeelay, oohintoodii baa i soo gaadhay.
17When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh said to him, “Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! this same shall have authority over my people.”
17Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu arkay Saa'uul, Rabbiguna wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waa kaas ninkii aan kuu sheegay! Kan qudhiisa ayaa dadkayga u talin doona.
18Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
18Markaasaa Saa'uul u soo dhowaaday Samuu'eel oo iridda jooga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg wax arkaha gurigiisu meeshuu yahay.
19Samuel answered Saul, and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
19Oo Samuu'eelna wuu u jawaabay Saa'uul oo ku yidhi, Wax arkuhu waa aniga, meesha sare hortay taga, waayo, idinku maanta anigaad wax ila cunaysaan, oo subaxdiina waan ku dirayaa, oo kulli waxa qalbigaaga ku jira oo dhanna waan kuu sheegi doonaa.
20As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind on them; for they are found. For whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you, and for all your father’s house?”
20Oo dameerahaaga saddex maalmood hortood kaa lumayna ha ka fikirin innaba, waayo, waa la helay. Bal yaa reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda laga wada jeclaadaa? Sow ma aha adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhanba?
21Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”
21Markaasaa Saa'uul u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, War sow anigu ma ahi reer Benyaamiin oo u wada yar qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil? Oo weliba jilibkaygu sow ugama sii yara qabiilka reer Benyaamiin jilibyadiisa? Haddaba maxaad sidan iigula hadlaysaa?
22Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.
22Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu kexeeyey Saa'uul iyo midiidinkiisii, oo wuxuu keenay qolkii martida, wuxuuna fadhiisiyey kuwii loo yeedhay dhexdooda meeshii ugu wacnayd, oo kuwii loo yeedhayna waxay ahaayeen in soddon qof ku dhow.
23Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it aside.’”
23Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu cuntokariyihii ku yidhi, Qaybtii aan kuu dhiibay ee aan kugu idhi, Adigu ii hay, bal la kaalay.
24The cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. Samuel said, “Behold, that which has been reserved! Set it before yourself and eat; because for the appointed time has it been kept for you, for I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
24Markaasaa cuntokariyihii wuxuu soo qaaday garabkii iyo wixii ku yiilba, oo wuxuu hor dhigay Saa'uul. Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg wixii laguu kaydiyey, haddaba hortaada dhigo oo cun, waayo, waa laguu hayay ilaa wakhtigii la qawimay, oo anigu waxaan idhi, Dadka waan marti qaaday. Markaasuu Saa'uul maalintaas wax la cunay Samuu'eel.
25When they had come down from the high place into the city, he talked with Saul on the housetop.
25Oo markay ka soo degeen meeshii sare, oo ay magaaladii soo galeen, wuxuu Saa'uul kula sheekaystay guri dushiis.
26They arose early: and it happened about the spring of the day, that Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, “Get up, that I may send you away.” Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
26Oo waxay kaceen aroor hore, oo markii waagu soo kaahay, Samuu'eel ayaa Saa'uul gurigii dushiisa uga yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Kac aan ku diree. Markaasaa Saa'uul kacay, oo isaga iyo Samuu'eelba dibadday u baxeen.Oo markay ka sii dhaadhacayeen magaalada darafkeeda, Samuu'eel ayaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Midiidinka u sheeg inuu inaga sii hor maro, (markaasuu isna ka hor maray,) laakiinse adigu istaag haatan, aan erayga Ilaah ku maqashiiyee.
27As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant pass on before us” (and he passed on), “but stand still first, that I may cause you to hear the word of God.”
27Oo markay ka sii dhaadhacayeen magaalada darafkeeda, Samuu'eel ayaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Midiidinka u sheeg inuu inaga sii hor maro, (markaasuu isna ka hor maray,) laakiinse adigu istaag haatan, aan erayga Ilaah ku maqashiiyee.
