1 Entonces Samuel tomó una redoma de aceite de oliva y lo derramó sobre la cabeza de Saúl, lo besó en la mejilla y le dijo: ―Hago esto porque el Señor te ha señalado para que seas el rey de su pueblo, de Israel.
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
2 Cuando te hayas ido de aquí, verás a dos hombres junto a la tumba de Raquel en Selsa, en la tierra de Benjamín. Ellos te dirán que ya aparecieron las burras y que tu padre está preocupado por ti y no cesa de preguntar: “¿Cómo podré encontrar a mi hijo?”.
2 When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’
3 »De allí ve a la encina de Tabor, donde verás a tres hombres que vienen hacia ti y que van a adorar a Dios en el altar de Betel. Uno de ellos llevará tres cabritos, otro llevará tres panes, y el tercero un odre de vino.
3 “Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Hablarán contigo y te ofrecerán los dos panes, y tú los aceptarás.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 »Después de eso llevarás a Guibeá Elohim (Monte de Dios), donde está la guarnición de los filisteos. Allí encontrarás a un grupo de profetas que descienden de la colina tocando el salterio, el pandero, la flauta y el arpa, y que profetizan mientras caminan.
5 “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.
6 En ese momento el Espíritu del Señor descenderá repentinamente sobre ti y tú profetizarás con ellos y sentirás y actuarás como una persona diferente.
6 Then Yahweh’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 Desde ese momento tendrás que tomar decisiones basadas en lo que te parezca mejor según las circunstancias, porque el Señor estará contigo.
7 Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
8 »Ve a Gilgal y espérame allí siete días, porque yo descenderé a presentar holocaustos y ofrendas de paz. Yo te daré nuevas instrucciones cuando llegue.
8 “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 Cuando Saúl se despidió y emprendió el camino, Dios le cambió la vida, y todas las profecías de Samuel se cumplieron aquel día.
9 It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.
10 Al llegar Saúl y su criado al monte de Dios, vieron a los profetas que descendían hacia ellos y el Espíritu de Dios descendió sobre Saúl y él también comenzó a profetizar.
10 When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Cuando sus amigos lo supieron, dijeron: ―¡Cómo! ¿Saúl entre los profetas?
11 When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Y uno de los vecinos agregó: ―¿Con un padre como este? Así se originó el proverbio: «¿Saúl también entre los profetas?».
12 One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Cuando Saúl acabó de profetizar, subió a la colina ante el altar.
13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 ―¿Dónde estuvieron? —le preguntó un tío. Y Saúl respondió: ―Fuimos a buscar las burras y no pudimos encontrarlas. Entonces fuimos a preguntarle al profeta Samuel dónde estaban.
14 Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”
15 ―¿Y qué dijo? —le preguntó su tío.
15 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 ―Dijo que las burras ya habían sido halladas —contestó Saúl, pero no le contó que había sido ungido rey.
16 Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.
17 Samuel convocó a todo Israel en Mizpa
17 Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah;
18 y le dio este mensaje de Dios: «Yo los saqué de Egipto y los rescaté de los egipcios y de las naciones que los oprimían.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
19 Pero aunque he hecho tanto por ustedes, ustedes me han rechazado y han dicho: “Queremos un rey”. Ahora pues, preséntense delante del Señor por tribus y por clanes».
19 But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your thousands.”
20 Samuel hizo que se acercaran todos los jefes de tribus delante del Señor, y de entre todas fue escogida por sorteo la tribu de Benjamín.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Entonces hizo que cada familia de la tribu de Benjamín se presentara delante del Señor y fue escogida la familia de los matritas. Finalmente, por sorteo fue seleccionado Saúl, hijo de Quis. Pero cuando lo buscaron, no lo encontraron.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Le preguntaron al Señor: ―¿Dónde está? ¿Está entre nosotros? Y el Señor respondió: ―Está escondido entre el bagaje.
22 Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” Yahweh answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Entonces lo encontraron y lo sacaron, y de pie sobresalía desde los hombros hacia arriba por sobre todos los demás.
23 They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 ―Este es el hombre que el Señor ha escogido para que sea rey —dijo Samuel al pueblo—. No hay otro como él en todo Israel. Y todo el pueblo lo aclamó: ―¡Viva el rey!
24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Samuel le dijo al pueblo nuevamente cuáles eran los derechos y los deberes del rey. Los escribió en un libro y los depositó delante del Señor. Después Samuel los despidió.
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 Cuando Saúl regresó a su casa en Guibeá se unió a él un grupo de hombres de guerra cuyos corazones Dios había tocado para que fueran compañeros suyos. Sin embargo, hubo algunos malvados que dijeron: ―¿Cómo puede este hombre salvarnos?
26 Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Y lo despreciaron y se negaron a ofrecerle presentes. Pero Saúl los ignoró.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After this, because they knew him not, He gave them a sign, like as the prophet touching Saul, saying, "Thou shalt find one going up and carrying a bottle;" and here, "carrying a pitcher." And see again the display of his power.
