1 Samuel 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And Samuel took a little vial of oil and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince.	1 ܘܢܣܒ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܡܫܚܐ ܘܢܣܟ ܒܪܝܫܗ ܘܢܫܩܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܡܫܚܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܠܡܕܒܪܢܐ
2 When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father thinking no more of the asses is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son?	2 ܘܡܐ ܕܐܙܠܬ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܗܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܥܠ ܩܒܪܗ̇ ܕܪܚܝܠ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܒܨܠܨܚ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܟ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܐܬ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܙܠܬ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܘܗܐ ܫܒܩ ܐܒܘܟ ܪܢܝܐ ܕܐܬ̈ܢܐ ܘܕܚܠ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܒܪܝ
3 And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.	3 ܘܡܐ ܕܥܒܪܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܠ ܘܡܛܝܬ ܒܛܡܬܐ ܕܬܒܘܪ ܗܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܬܡܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܚܕ ܫܩܝܠ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܕ̈ܝܢ ܘܚܕ ܫܩܝܠ ܬܠܬ ܓܪ̈ܝܨܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܘܚܕ ܫܩܝܠ ܓܪܒܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ
4 And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou shalt take them at their hand.	4 ܘܢܫܐܠܘܢ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܘܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܟ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܘܬܣܒ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying.	5 ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܬܐܬܐ ܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܡܛܝܬ ܠܬܡܢ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܐ ܦܓܥ ܐܢܬ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܕܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܢܚܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܡ ܘܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܩܝܬܪ̈ܐ ܘܟܢܪ̈ܐ ܘ̈ܦܠܓܐ ܘܪ̈ܒܝܥܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܡܬܢܒܝܢ
6 And the spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man.	6 ܘܬܨܠܚ ܥܠܝܟ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܬܢܒܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܬܫܬܓܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ
7 When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee.	7 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܢܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܐ̈ܬܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܣܦܩܐ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܡܟ
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee,) that thou mayest offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, O till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do.	8 ܘܚܘܬ ܩܕܡܝ ܠܓܠܓܠܐ ܘܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܚܬ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܠܡܣܩܘ ܥ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܠܡܕܒܚ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܫ̈ܠܡܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܬܟܬܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܘܕܥܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܥܒܕ
9 So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day.	9 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܦܢܝ ܟܬܦܗ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܫܚܠܦ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܒܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܬ̈ܝ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐ̈ܬܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ
10 And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.	10 ܘܐܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܡܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܚܒܠܐ ܕܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܐܪܥܗ ܘܐܨܠܚܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܢܒܝ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ
11 And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? Is Saul also among the prophets?	11 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܡܢܬܡܠܝ ܚܙܘ ܘܗܐ ܥܡ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܡܬܢܒܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܥܡܐ ܓܒܪ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܩܝܫ ܕܗܐ ܐܦ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܢ̈ܒܝܐ
12 And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?	12 ܘܥܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܡܛܘܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܬܠܐ ܕܗܐ ܐܦ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܢ̈ܒܝܐ
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.	13 ܘܓܡܪܘ ܠܡܬܢܒܝܘ ܘܐܬܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܢ ܒܝܡ
14 And Saul's uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them we went to Samuel.	14 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܕܗ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܘܠܛܠܝܗ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠܬܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܐ̈ܬܢܐ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ
15 And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee.	15 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܕܗ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܚܘܢܝ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ
16 And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not.	16 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܕܕܗ ܡܚܘܝܘ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܕܐܫܬܟܚ ܐ̈ܬܢܐ ܘܨܒܘܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܚܘܝܗ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ
17 And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha:	17 ܘܟܢܫ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܥܡܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ
18 And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you.	18 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܣܩܬ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܦܨܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐ̈ܠܨܢ ܠܟܘܢ
19 But you this day have rejected your God, who only hath saved you out of all your evils and your tribulations: and you have said: Nay: but set a king over us. Now therefore stand before the Lord by your tribes, and by your families.	19 ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܣܠܝܬܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܕܗܘ ܦܪܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܩ̈ܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܩܝܡ ܥܠܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܒ̈ܛܝܟܘܢ ܘܐ̈ܠܦܝܟܘܢ
20 And Samuel brought to him all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell on the tribe of Benjamin.	20 ܘܩܪܒ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܬܬܚܕ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ
21 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell Upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul the son of Cis. They sought him therefore and he was not found.	21 ܘܩܪܒ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܠܫܪ̈ܒܬܐ ܘܐܬܬܚܕܬ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܡܛܪܝ ܘܐܬܬܚܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܪ ܩܝܫ ܘܒܥܐܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ
22 And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home.	22 ܘܫܐܠ ܬܘܒ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܗܐ ܗܘ ܡܬܛܫܐ ܒܝܬ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward.	23 ܘܪܗܛܘ ܘܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܩܡ ܒܓܘ ܥܡܐ ܘܪܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܟܬܦܗ ܘܠܥܠ
24 And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king.	24 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܒܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܝܒܒܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܢܚܐ ܡܠܟܐ
25 And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house.	25 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܥܡܐ ܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܟܬܒ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܘܣܡ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܫܕܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܐܢܫ ܠܒܝܬܗ
26 Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched.	26 ܘܐܦ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܠܪܡܬܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ
27 But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents, but he dissembled as though he heard not.	27 ܘܒܢ̈ܝ ܚܛܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܢܦܪܩܢ ܗܢܐ ܘܫܛܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܘܗܘ ܐܝܟ ܫܬܝܩ
