第十章 1 Samuel 10
1.撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在掃羅的頭上,與他親嘴,說:「這不是耶和華膏你作他產業的君嗎?
Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, 「Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over his inheritance?[a]
Footnotes:
a. 1 Samuel 10:1 Hebrew; Septuagint and Vulgate over his people Israel? You will reign over the LORD’s people and save them from the power of their enemies round about. And this will be a sign to you that the LORD has anointed you ruler over his inheritance:
2.你今日與我離別之後,在便雅憫境內的泄撒,靠近拉結的墳墓,要遇見兩個人。他們必對你說:『你去找的那幾頭驢已經找著了。現在你父親不為驢掛心,反為你擔憂,說:我為兒子怎麼才好呢?』
When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, 『The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, 「What shall I do about my son?」』
3.你從那裏往前行,到了他泊的橡樹那裏,必遇見三個往伯特利去拜 神的人:一個帶著三隻山羊羔,一個帶著三個餅,一個帶著一皮袋酒。
「Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine.
4.他們必問你安,給你兩個餅,你就從他們手中接過來。
They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from them.
5.此後你到 神的山,在那裏有非利士人的防兵。你到了城的時候,必遇見一班先知從邱壇下來,前面有鼓瑟的、擊鼓的、吹笛的、彈琴的,他們都受感說話。
「After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.
6.耶和華的靈必大大感動你,你就與他們一同受感說話;你要變為新人。
The Spirit of the LORD will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
7.這兆頭臨到你,你就可以趁時而做,因為 神與你同在。
Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
8.你當在我以先下到吉甲,我也必下到那裏獻燔祭和平安祭。你要等候七日,等我到了那裏,指示你當行的事。」
「Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.」
