1 Samuel 9
Maori Bible
9 Na tera tetahi tangata o Pinemine, ko Kihi tona ingoa, he tama na Apiere, tama a Teroro, tama a Pekorata, tama a Apiaha, he Pineamini, he tangata marohirohi.
2 He tama ano tana, ko tona ingoa ko Haora, he taitama, he ataahua, he pai, kahore he tangata o nga tama a Iharaira i ataahua atu i a ia; purero tonu ona pokohiwi ki runga ake i te iwi katoa.
3 Na kua ngaro nga kaihe a Kihi papa o Haora, a ka mea a Kihi ki a Haora, ki tana tama, Tangohia tetahi o nga tamariki hei hoa mou, whakatika, haere ki te rapu i nga kaihe.
4 Na ka tika ia na te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, a haere tonu na te whenua o Hariha; heoi kihai i kitea: katahi raua ka tika na te whenua o Harimi, heoi kahore noa iho; na ka haere ia na te whenua o nga Pineamini, a kahore i kitea.
5 A, no to raua taenga ki te whenua o Tupu, ka mea a Haora ki tana tangata, ki tona hoa, Haere mai, taua ka hoki; kei mutu te whakaaro o toku papa ki nga kaihe, a ka manukanuka ke ki a taua.
6 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, He tangata na te Atua tenei kei te pa nei, he tangata e whakahonoretia ana; mana pu ana kupu katoa: na kia haere taua ki reira; tera pea e korerotia mai e ia ki a taua te haere e haere nei taua.
7 Ano ra ko Haora ki tana tangata, Engari, ki te haere taua he aha te mea hei mauranga atu ma taua ki taua tangata, kua hemo nei hoki te taro i roto i a taua putea, a kahore he hakari hei kawenga atu ki taua tangata a te Atua: he aha oti ta taua?
8 Na ka whakahoki taua tangata ki ta Haora, ka mea, Nana, ko te whakawha tenei o te hekere hiriwa kei toku ringa: me hoatu e ahau ki taua tangata a te Atua, kia whakaaturia mai e ia to taua ara ki a taua.
9 I mua hoki i roto i a Iharaira, ina haere te tangata ki te ui tikanga i te Atua, ko tana ki tenei, Hoake, taua ka haere ki te matakite: he matakite hoki ta mua ingoa mo te poropiti.
10 Na ka mea a Haora ki tana tangata, Ka pai tau kupu; hoatu, taua ka haere. Na haere ana raua ki te pa kei reira nei taua tangata a te Atua.
11 I a raua e piki ana i te pikitanga ki te pa, ka tutaki raua ki etahi kotiro e puta mai ana ki te utu wai. Na ka mea raua ki a ratou, Tenei ranei te matakite?
12 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a raua, ka mea, Tenei ano; nana, kei mua atu i a koe na: hohoro atu inaianei tonu, no tenei ra hoki ia i tae mai ai ki te pa; he patunga tapu hoki ta te iwi nei aianei i te wahi tiketike.
13 Tomo kau korua ki te pa, ka tupono korua ki a ia i te mea kahore ano i piki noa ki te wahi tiketike ki te kai: e kore hoki te iwi e kai kia tae atu ra ano ia; ko ia hoki hei whakapai i te patunga tapu, muri iho ka kai te hunga i karangatia. Heoi, piki atu; ko te wa hoki tenei e kitea ai ia e korua.
14 Na piki ana raua ki te pa; a ka uru atu raua ki roto ki te pa, ko Hamuera kua puta; tutaki tonu ki a raua; e piki ana ki te wahi tiketike.
15 Na kua whakapuakina e Ihowa ki a Hamuera i te ra i mua atu i te taenga mai o Haora, kua mea,
16 Kia penei apopo ka unga atu e ahau ki a koe tetahi tangata no te whenua o Pineamine, na me whakawahi ia e koe hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a mana e whakaora taku iwi i te ringa o nga Pirihitini: kua titiro atu hoki ahau ki taku iwi, n o te mea kua tae ake ta ratou karanga ki ahau.
17 A, no te kitenga o Hamuera i a Haora, ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Ko te tangata tenei i korerotia ra e ahau ki a koe. Mana e whakahaere tikanga mo taku iwi.
18 Katahi ka whakatata a Haora ki a Hamuera, ki te kuwaha, ka mea, Tena koe, whakaaturia mai ki ahau, kei hea te whare o te matakite.
19 Na ka whakahoki a Hamuera ki a Haora, ka mea, Ko ahau te matakite: piki atu i mua i ahau ki te wahi tiketike, ka kai tahi hoki korua i ahau aianei; a ka tukua atu koe e ahau i te ata, ka whakaaturia hoki ki a koe nga mea katoa i tou ngakau.
20 A ko au kaihe, ka toru nei nga ra e ngaro ana, kaua tou ngakau e whai ki era; kua kitea hoki. Kei a wai koia te hiahia katoa o Iharaira? he teka ianei kei a koe, kei te whare katoa ano hoki o tou papa?
21 Na ka whakahokia e Haora, ka mea, He teka ianei he Pineamini ahau, no te iti rawa o nga iwi o Iharaira, ko toku hapu hoki te iti rawa o nga hapu katoa o te iwi o Pineamine? he aha ra ena kupu i puaki mai ai i a koe?
22 Na ka mau a Hamuera ki a Haora raua ko tana tangata, a kawea ana ki te whare, a hoatu ana e ia he nohoanga ki a raua i runga ake o te hunga i karangatia; e toru tekau ano hoki ratou.
23 Na ka mea a Hamuera ki te tuari, Homai te wahi i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, tera i kiia atu ra e ahau ki a koe, Kia takoto tena ki a koe.
24 Na hapainga ana e te tuari te huha me ona aha noa, a whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Haora. Na ka mea a Hamuera, Nana, ko te wahi i tohungia na, waiho i tou aroaro hei kai mau: he mea rongoa tonu hoki mau a tae noa ki tenei wa, no taku kianga, He hunga tenei kua karangatia e ahau. Na kai tahi ana a Haora raua ko Hamuera i taua ra.
25 A, i to ratou hekenga iho i te wahi tiketike ki te pa, ka korero ia ki a Haora i runga i te tuanui.
26 Na ka maranga wawe ratou: a i te mea ka puta ake te ra, ka karangatia a Haora e Hamuera ki runga ki te tuanui, i mea ia, Whakatika, kia unga atu koe e ahau. Na ka whakatika a Haora, a puta atu ana raua tokorua, a ia, a Hamuera, ki waho.
27 I a raua e heke ana i te pito o te pa, ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, Mea atu ki te tangata ra kia haere atu ki mua i a taua; katahi tera ka haere; ko koe ia, tu marie koe, kia whakapuakina atu e ahau ki a koe te kupu a te Atua.
1 Samuel 9

1 Samuel 9
New International Version
Samuel Anoints Saul
9 There was a Benjamite,(A) a man of standing,(B) whose name was Kish(C) son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome(D) a young man as could be found(E) anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller(F) than anyone else.
3 Now the donkeys(G) belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.” 4 So he passed through the hill(H) country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha,(I) but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys(J) were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.
5 When they reached the district of Zuph,(K) Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying(L) about us.”
6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God;(M) he is highly respected, and everything(N) he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”
7 Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift(O) to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire(P) of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)(Q)
10 “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
11 As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw(R) water, and they asked them, “Is the seer here?”
12 “He is,” they answered. “He’s ahead of you. Hurry now; he has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice(S) at the high place.(T) 13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not begin eating until he comes, because he must bless(U) the sacrifice; afterward, those who are invited will eat. Go up now; you should find him about this time.”
14 They went up to the town, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel, coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
15 Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: 16 “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint(V) him ruler(W) over my people Israel; he will deliver(X) them from the hand of the Philistines.(Y) I have looked on my people, for their cry(Z) has reached me.”
17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This(AA) is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people.”
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys(AB) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(AC) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”
21 Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(AD) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(AE) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(AF) Why do you say such a thing to me?”
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number. 23 Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you, the one I told you to lay aside.”
24 So the cook took up the thigh(AG) with what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “Here is what has been kept for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion from the time I said, ‘I have invited guests.’” And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
25 After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel talked with Saul on the roof(AH) of his house. 26 They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way.” When Saul got ready, he and Samuel went outside together. 27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us”—and the servant did so—“but you stay here for a while, so that I may give you a message from God.”
