1 Samuel tomó la vasija de aceite y la derramó sobre la cabeza de [Saúl]. Lo besó y le dijo: ¿No te ungió Yavé para que seas jefe de su heredad?
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 Al alejarte hoy de mí, hallarás a dos hombres junto al sepulcro de Raquel en Selsa, el límite de Benjamín, quienes te dirán: Las asnas que buscabas fueron halladas. Pero mira, tu padre dejó a un lado lo de las asnas y está preocupado por ustedes, y dice: ¿Qué hago en cuanto 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 Luego cuando pases de allí adelante y llegues al roble de Tabor, te saldrán al encuentro tres hombres que suben a ʼElohim en Bet-ʼEl, uno que lleva tres cabritos, otro que lleva tres tortas de pan y otro que lleva 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 Ellos te saludarán y te darán dos panes, los cuales recibirás de sus manos.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 Después de esto llegarás a la colina de ʼElohim donde hay una guarnición de los filisteos. Cuando entres en la ciudad, encontrarás un grupo de profetas que bajan del alto, precedidos de salterios, panderos, flautas y arpas. Ellos estarán profetizando.
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 Entonces el Espíritu de Yavé vendrá sobre ti con poder, y profetizarás con ellos. Serás cambiado en otro hombre.
6 Then Yahweh’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 Cuando te sucedan estas señales, haz lo que te venga a la mano, porque ʼElohim está 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 Luego bajarás adelante de mí a Gilgal. Y mira, yo bajaré a ti para ofrecer holocaustos y sacrificar ofrendas de paz. Espera siete días, hasta que yo vaya a ti y te indique lo que debes hacer.
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 Sucedió que cuando él volvió la espalda para alejarse de Samuel, ʼElohim le cambió el corazón. Todas esas señales ocurrieron 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 Cuando llegaron a la Colina, ciertamente la compañía de profetas llegaba a encontrarse con él, y el Espíritu de ʼElohim se apoderó de él, y profetizó entre ellos.
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 Sucedió que cuando todos los que lo conocían vieron que profetizaba con los profetas, los del pueblo se decían el uno al otro: ¿Qué le sucedió al hijo de Cis? ¿También Saúl está 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 Un hombre de allí dijo: ¿Y quién es el padre de ellos? Por esta causa se convirtió en refrán: ¿También Saúl está 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 Cesó de profetizar, y al llegar al lugar alto,
13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 el tío de Saúl le preguntó a él y a su esclavo: ¿A dónde fueron? Y él respondió: A buscar las asnas, y como no aparecían, acudimos a Samuel.
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 el tío de Saúl dijo: Te ruego que me declares lo que les dijo Samuel.
15 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saúl respondió a su tío: Nos dijo claramente que las asnas fueron halladas. Pero nada dijo relacionado con lo que Samuel le dijo sobre el reino.
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 Entonces Samuel convocó al pueblo a reunirse ante Yavé en Mizpa
17 Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah;
18 y dijo a los hijos de Israel: Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice: Yo saqué a Israel de Egipto, y los libré de mano de los egipcios y de todos los reinos que los oprimieron.
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 hoy ustedes rechazaron a su ʼElohim, Quien los salva de todas sus desgracias y angustias. Le dijeron: No. Más bien, designa un rey sobre nosotros. Ahora pues, preséntense ante Yavé según sus tribus y según sus familias.
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 acercó a las tribus de Israel, y fue seleccionada la tribu de Benjamín.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Luego acercó a la tribu de Benjamín según sus familias, y fue designada la familia de Matri. De ella Saúl, hijo de Cis, fue seleccionado, pero cuando lo buscaron, no fue hallado.
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 Entonces consultaron otra vez a Yavé: ¿Ese varón ya llegó aquí? Y respondió Yavé: Ahí está, escondido entre el equipo militar.
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 Corrieron y lo sacaron de allí. Cuando se presentó en medio del pueblo, vieron que de los hombros para arriba era más alto que todos.
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 Samuel dijo a todo el pueblo: ¿Vieron al que Yavé eligió? En todo el pueblo nadie hay como él. Entonces el pueblo exclamó: ¡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 Luego Samuel explicó al pueblo los procedimientos del reino y los escribió en el rollo que presentó a Yavé. Después Samuel despidió a todo el pueblo, cada uno a su casa.
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 Saúl fue también a su casa en Gabaa, y algunos hombres valientes cuyos corazones ʼElohim tocó fueron con él.
26 Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Pero algunos hombres perversos dijeron: ¿Cómo nos va a salvar éste? Lo despreciaron y no le llevaron algún presente. Pero él disimuló.
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.
