Shmuel Alef 10
Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 Then Shmuel took a flask of shemen, and poured it upon his rosh, and kissed him [Ps 2:12], and said, Hath not Hashem meshachacha (anointed thee) to be Nagid over His nachalah?
2 When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two anashim near Kevurat Rachel on the border of Binyamin at Tzeltzach; and they will say unto thee, The donkeys which thou wentest to seek are found; and, hinei, Avicha hath taken leave of caring about the donkeys, and careth for you, saying, What shall I do for beni (my son)?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from there, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tavor, and there shall meet thee shloshah anashim going up to HaElohim to Beit-El, one carrying shloshet gedayim (three young goats), and another carrying shloshet kikrot (three loaves) lechem, and another carrying a skin of yayin;
4 And they will give thee a Shalom greeting, and give thee two of the lechem; which thou shalt receive of their yad.
5 After that thou shalt come to the Giveat HaElohim, where is the outpost of the Pelishtim (Philistines); and it shall come to pass, when thou art come there to the Ir, that thou shalt meet a chevel (company, band) of nevi’im coming down from the high place with a nevel (lyre), tof (tambourine), khalil (flute), and kinnor (harp) before them; and they shall prophesy;
6 And the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into an ish acher (another man, a different man).
7 And let it be, when these otot (signs) are come unto thee, that thou do what yadecha (thy hand) finds [i.e., what thou seest fit to do]; for HaElohim is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, hinei, I will come down unto thee, to offer olot (burnt offerings), and to sacrifice zivkhei shelamim (sacrifices of peace offerings); shivat yamim shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Shmuel, Elohim changed for him a lev acher (another heart, a different heart); and all those otot (signs) came to pass that day.
10 And when they came there to the Giveah (Hill), hinei, a chevel (company, band) of nevi’im met him; and the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Elohim came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, hinei, he prophesied with the nevi’im, then HaAm said one to another, What is this that hath happened unto the Ben Kish? Is Sha’ul also among the nevi’im?
12 And an ish from that place answered and said, And who is avihem (their father, cf Amos 7:14)? Therefore it became a mashal (proverb), Is Sha’ul also among the nevi’im?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the bamah (high place).
14 And the dod Sha’ul said unto him and to his na’ar, Where went ye? And he said, To search for the donkeys; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we came to Shmuel.
15 And the dod Sha’ul said, Tell me, now, what Shmuel said unto you.
16 And Sha’ul said unto his dod, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But of the matter of the melukhah (kingship), whereof Shmuel spoke, he told him not.
17 And Shmuel called HaAm together unto Hashem at Mitzpah;
18 And said unto the Bnei Yisroel, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, I brought up Yisroel out of Mitzrayim, and delivered you out of the yad Mitzrayim, and out of the yad kol HaMamlachot, and of them that oppressed you;
19 And ye have this day rejected Eloheichem, who Himself was Moshi’a for you out of all your adversities and your tzoroses; and ye have said unto Him, No, but set a Melech over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Hashem by your Shevatim (Tribes), and by your alefim (thousands, larger kinship units).
20 And when Shmuel had caused all the Shivtei Yisroel to come near, the Shevet (Tribe) of Binyamin was lakhad (taken [by lot], singled out [by lot]).
21 When he had caused the Shevet (Tribe) of Binyamin to come near by their mishpekhot, the mishpakhat Matri was lakhad (singled out [by lot]), and Sha’ul Ben Kish was lakhad; and when they searched for him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they inquired of Hashem further, Has the ish come here yet? And Hashem answered, Hinei he hath hid himself among the kelim (vessels, baggage, stuff).
23 And they ran and brought him out from there; and when he stood among HaAm, he was taller than any of HaAm from his shekhamim (shoulders) upward.
24 And Shmuel said to kol HaAm, See ye him whom Hashem hath chosen? That there is none like him among kol HaAm? And kol HaAm shouted, and said, May HaMelech live!
25 Then Shmuel told HaAm the mishpat haMelukhah (right of the monarchy; see also Dt. 17:14-20), and wrote it in a sefer, and deposited it up before Hashem. And Shmuel sent kol HaAm away, every ish to his bais.
26 And Sha’ul also went home to Giveah; and there went with him the valiant whose lev Elohim had touched.
27 But the Bnei Beliyaal said, How shall this one yoshi’einu (save us)? And they despised him, and brought no minchah (gift). But he held his peace.
1 Samuel 10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him and said, Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over His heritage Israel?
2 When you have left me today, you will meet two men by Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, The donkeys you sought are found. And your father has quit caring about them and is anxious for you, asking, What shall I do about my son?
3 Then you will go on from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin bottle of wine.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
5 After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and when you come to the city, you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.
6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and you will show yourself to be a prophet with them; and you will be turned into another man.
7 When these signs meet you, do whatever you find to be done, 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 peace offerings. You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you shall do.
9 And when [Saul] had turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
10 When they came to the hill [Gibeah], behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he spoke under divine inspiration among them.
11 And when all who knew Saul before saw that he spoke by inspiration among the [schooled] prophets, the people said one to another, What has come over [him, who is nobody but] the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 One from that same place answered, But who is the father of the others? So it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 When [Saul] had ended his inspired speaking, he went to the high place.
14 Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did you go? And Saul said, To look for the donkeys, and when we found them nowhere, we went to Samuel.
15 Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, what did Samuel say to you?
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel spoke he told him nothing.
17 And Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah
18 And said to the Israelites, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: It was I Who brought up Israel out of Egypt and delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
19 But you have this day rejected your God, Who Himself saves you from all your calamities and distresses; and you have said to Him, No! Set a king over us. So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken [probably by lot].
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken. And Saul son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they inquired of the Lord further, if the man would yet come back. And the Lord answered, Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.(A)
23 They ran and brought him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of them.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen, that none like him is among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, Long live the king!
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom [defining the position of the king in relation to God and to the people], and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of valiant men whose hearts God had touched.
27 But some worthless fellows said, How can this man save us? And they despised him and brought him no gift. But he held his peace and was as if deaf.
ﺻﻤﻮﺋﻴﻞ ﺍﻷﻭﻝ 10
Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
صَمُوئِيلُ يَمْسَحُ شَاوُل
10 وَأخَذَ صَمُوئِيلُ قِنِّينَةً فِيهَا زَيْتٌ خَاصٌّ، وَسَكَبَ الزَّيْتَ عَلَى رَأسِ شَاوُلَ، وَقَبَّلَهُ. وَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَدْ مَسَحَكَ اللهُ رَئِيسًا عَلَى الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي هُوَ مُلكٌ للهِ. وَسَتَحْكُمُ شَعْبَهُ. وَسَتُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنَ الأعْدَاءِ المُحِيطِينَ بِهِ. مَسَحَكَ لِتَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِهِ. وَهَذِهِ عَلَامَةٌ عَلَى أنَّ هَذَا الأمْرَ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ. 2 بَعْدَ أنْ تَتْرُكَنِي اليَوْمَ، سَتُقَابِلُ رَجُلَينِ قُرْبَ قَبرِ رَاحِيلَ عَلَى حُدُودِ بَنْيَامِينَ فِي صَلْصَحَ. وَسَيَقُولَانِ لَكَ: ‹وَجَدَ أحَدُهُمُ الحَمِيرَ الَّتِي تَبْحَثُ عَنْهَا. فَلَمْ يَعُدْ أبُوكَ قَلِقًا عَلَى الحَمِيرِ، بَلْ عَلَيْكَ أنْتَ. فَهُوَ يَسألُ مَاذَا حَدَثَ لِابْنِي؟›»
3 وَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَتَمْضِي فِي طَرِيقِكَ إلَى أنْ تَصِلَ بَلُّوطَةً كَبِيرَةً فِي تَابُورَ. وَسَيُصَادِفُكَ هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي طَرِيقِهِمْ لِعِبَادَةِ اللهِ فِي بَيْتِ إيلَ. وَسَيَكُونُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ حَامِلًا ثَلَاثَةَ تُيُوسٍ، وَالثَّانِي ثَلَاثَةَ أرغِفَةٍ مِنَ الخُبْزِ، وَالثَّالِثُ زُجَاجَةَ نَبِيذٍ. 4 وَسَيُلقِي الرِّجَالُ الثَّلَاثَةُ هَؤُلَاءِ التَّحِيَّةَ عَلَيْكَ. وَسَيَعْرِضُونَ عَلَيْكَ رَغِيفَي خُبْزٍ، فَخُذْهُمَا مِنْهُمْ. 5 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَتَذْهَبُ إلَى جِبْعَةِ إيلُوهِيمَ، حَيْثُ يُوجَدُ حِصنٌ فِلِسْطِيٌّ. وَعِنْدَمَا تَصِلُ إلَى تِلْكَ المَدِينَةِ، سَتُلَاقِي مَجمُوعَةً مِنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ نَازِلِينَ مِنْ مَكَانِ العِبَادَةِ. وَسَيَتَنَبَّأُونَ وَهُمْ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى القَيَاثِيرِ وَالصُّنُوجِ وَالنَّايَاتِ وَالرَّبَابَاتِ. 6 حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَحِلُّ رُوحُ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَتَتَغَيَّرُ وَتَصِيرُ إنْسَانًا جَدِيدًا. وَسَتَبْدَأُ تَتَنَبَّأُ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ الأنْبِيَاءِ. 7 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، افْعَلْ كَمَا تَشَاءُ لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيَكُونُ مَعَكَ.
8 «اذْهَبْ إلَى الجِلجَالِ قَبلِي. وَسَألحَقُ بِكَ إلَى هُنَاكَ لِأُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ صَاعِدَةً وَذَبَائِحَ شَرِكَةٍ. لَكِنْ يَنْبَغِي أنْ تَمْكُثَ سَبْعَةَ أيَّامٍ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَآتِي وَأُخبِرُكَ بِمَا يَنبغِي أنْ تَفْعَلَ.»
شَاوُلُ بَيْنَ الأنْبِيَاء
9 فَلَمَّا استَدَارَ شَاوُلُ لِيَمْضِيَ مِنْ عِندِ صَمُوئِيلَ، تَغَيَّرَ قَلْبُ شَاوُلَ وَصَارَ إنْسَانًا جَدِيدًا. حَدَثَتْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ. 10 فَذَهَبَ شَاوُلُ وَخَادِمُهُ إلَى جِبْعَةِ إيلُوهِيمَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ المَكَانِ تَلَاقَى مَعَ مَجمُوعَةٍ مِنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ. وَتَمَلَّكَهُ رُوحُ اللهِ، فَتَنَبَّأَ شَاوُلُ مَعَ الأنْبِيَاءِ. 11 فَرَآهُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ وَهُوَ يَتَنَبَّأُ – وَكَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ مَنْ هُوَ – فَسَألَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا: «مَاذَا جَرَى لِابْنِ قَيْسٍ؟ أشَاوُلُ أيْضًا بَيْنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ؟»
12 فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جِبْعَةَ: «نَعَمْ، وَيَبْدُو أنَّهُ قَائِدُهُمْ.»[a] فَصَارَ هَذَا مَثَلًا: «أشَاوُلُ أيْضًا بَيْنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ؟»
شَاوُلُ يَصِلُ إلَى بَيْتِه
13 وَبَعَدَ أنِ انْتَهَى شَاوُلُ مِنَ التَّنَبُّؤِ، ذَهَبَ إلَى مَكَانِ العِبَادَةِ. 14 فَسَألَهُ عَمُّهُ وَسألَ خَادِمَهُ: «أيْنَ كُنْتُمَا؟» فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «كُنَّا نَبحَثُ عَنِ الحَمِيرِ. وَعِنْدَمَا لَمْ نَجِدهُا، ذَهَبْنَا لِرُؤيَةِ صَمُوئِيلَ.»
15 فَقَالَ عَمُّهُ: «أخْبِرنِي مَاذَا قَالَ لَكُمَا صَمُوئِيلُ.»
16 فَأجَابَ شَأُوُلُ: «قَالَ لَنَا صَمُوئِيلُ إنَّهُ تَمَّ العُثُورُ عَلَى الحَمِيرِ.» وَلَمْ يُخبِرْ عَمَّهُ بِكُلِّ شيءٍ، أيْ بِمَا قَالَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ عَنِ المُلْكِ.
صَمُوئِيلُ يُعلِنُ شَاوُلَ مَلِكًا
17 وَجَمَعَ صَمُوئيلُ الشَّعْبَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ فِي المِصْفَاةِ. 18 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «يَقُولُ اللهُ، إلَهُ إسْرَائِيلَ: ‹أخرَجتُ إسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرٍ. وَخَلَّصْتُكُمْ مِنْ سَيطَرَةِ المِصْرِيِّينَ وَمِنَ المَمَالِكِ الأُخرَى الَّتِي ظَلَمَتْكُمْ وَضَايَقَتْكُمْ.› 19 لَكِنَّكُمُ اليَوْمَ رَفَضتُمْ إلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَّصَكُمْ مِنْ ضِيقَاتِكُمْ وَمَتَاعِبِكُمْ إذْ قُلْتُمْ: ‹نُرِيدُ أنْ يَحْكُمَنَا مَلِكٌ.› وَالْآنَ تَعَالَوْا وَقِفُوا فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ حَسَبَ عَائِلَاتِكُمْ وَعَشَائِرِكُمْ.»
20 فَقَرَّبَ صَمُوئِيلُ كُلَّ قَبَائِلِ إسْرَائِيلَ. ثُمَّ بَدَأُوا احْتِفَالَ تَنْصِيبِ المَلِكِ الجَدِيدِ. 21 أوَّلًا، اخْتِيرَتْ قَبِيلَةُ بَنْيَامِينَ. ثُمَّ طَلَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ إلَى كُلِّ عَائِلَةٍ فِي قَبِيلَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ أنْ تَمُرَّ مِنْ أمَامِهِ. فَاخْتِيرَتْ عَائِلَةُ مَطْرِي. ثُمَّ طَلَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ أنْ يَمُرَّ مِنْ أمَامِهِ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ رِجَالِ عَائِلَةِ مَطْرِي. فَاخْتِيرَ شَاوُلُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ. لَكِنْ حِينَ فَتَّشَ عَنْهُ الشَّعْبُ، لَمْ يَجِدُوهُ. 22 فَسَألُوا اللهَ: «ألَمْ يَجِئْ شَاوُلُ بَعْدُ؟» فَقَالَ اللهُ: «إنَّهُ مُختَبِئٌ بَيْنَ المُؤَنِ.»
23 فَرَكَضَ الشَّعْبُ وَأخرَجُوا شَاوُلَ مِنْ خَلفِ المُؤَنِ. فَوَقَفَ شَاوُلُ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ. فَبَلَغَ طُولُ أطوَلِهِمْ إلَى كَتِفِهِ.
24 فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ اللهُ. لَا مَثِيلَ لَهُ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.» فَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ: «يَعيشُ المَلِكُ!»
25 ثُمَّ شَرَحَ صَمُوئِيلُ لِلشَّعْبِ أنظِمَةَ المَمْلَكَةِ وَالمُلْكِ. وَدَوَّنَ هَذِهِ الأنظِمَةَ فِي كِتَابٍ. وَوَضَعَ الكِتَابَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ. ثُمَّ صَرَفَ الشَّعْبَ إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ.
26 وَانْصَرَفَ شَاوُلُ أيْضًا إلَى بَيْتِهِ فِي جِبعَةَ. وَلَمَسَ اللهُ قُلُوبَ الرِّجَالِ البَوَاسِلِ الَّذِينَ بَدَأُوا يَتْبَعُونَ شَاوُلَ. 27 وَأمَّا بَعْضُ الأشْرَارِ فَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ أنْ يُخَلِّصَنَا؟» فَاحْتَقَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا كَلَامًا مُهِينًا عَنْهُ. وَرَفَضُوا أنْ يَجْلِبُوا لَهُ هَدَايَا المُبَايَعَةِ. أمَّا شَاوُلُ، فَتَجَاهَلَ كُلَّ مَا سَمِعَهُ.
