Today's audio is from the CEB. Switch to the CEB to read along with the audio. 8 When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders.[a] 2 The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice. 4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nations have.” 6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.” 10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.” 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.” Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.” 9 There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish 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 a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else. 3 Now the donkeys 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 country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha, but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys 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, 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 about us.” 6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything 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 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[d] 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 of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.) 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 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 at the high place. 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 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 him ruler over my people Israel; he will deliver them from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked on my people, for their cry has reached me.” 17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This 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 you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire 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 of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? 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 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 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.” 22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. 23 Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus. 25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” 28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” 30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a]” 32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” 41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?” 32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord, and trouble came to Moses because of them; 33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[a] 34 They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them, 35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. 36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. 38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. 39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. 40 Therefore the Lord was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. 41 He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them. 42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. 43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin. 44 Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; 45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented. 46 He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy. 47 Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. 48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord. 34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people. 35 A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury.

1 शमूएल 9Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) शाऊलले पिताका गधाहरूको खोजी गर्छ 9 कीश बिन्यामिनी कुलका एकजना महत्वपूर्ण मानिस थिए। कीश अबीएलका छोरा थिए। अबीएल जरोरका छोरा थिए। जरोर बकोरतका छोरा थिए। बकोरत, बिन्यामीन परिवारका मानिस ओपीहकका छोरा थिए। 2 कीशका एकजना शाऊल नाउँ गरेका छोरा थिए। शाऊल अत्यन्तै सुन्दर थिए। त्यहाँ शाऊल जस्तो सुन्दर कोही पनि थिएनन्। उभिँदा शाऊल इस्राएलमा अन्य मानिसहरू भन्दा अग्ला थिए। 3 एक दिन शाऊलका पिता कीशले आफ्ना गधाहरू हराए। यसकारण कीशले आफ्ना छोरा शाऊललाई भने, “एकजना नोकरलाई साथमा लिएर गधा खोज्न जा।” 4 शाऊलले गधाहरू खोज्न शुरू गरे। शाऊल एप्रैमका पहाडी देश हुदै शलीशको इलाकातिर पुगे। तर शाऊल र नोकरले कीशका गधाहरूको पत्तो लगाउन सकेनन्। ती दुइजना गधाहरू खोज्दै शालेमका चारैतिर घुमे। तर त्यहाँ पनि गधाहरू थिएनन्। यसकारण तिनीहरूले बिन्यामिनीको प्रदेशमा पनि गधा खोज्दै यात्रा गरे तर त्यहाँ पनि गधाहरू भेट्टाउन सकेनन्। 5 अन्त्यमा, शाऊल र उनका नोकर सूप नाउँका शहरमा पुगे। शाऊलले आफ्ना नोकरलाई भने, “हामीहरू फर्कौ। अब पिताजीलाई गधाहरूको भन्दा हाम्रो चिन्ता ज्यादा भइसक्यो होला।” 6 तर नोकरले भन्यो, “यस शहरमा परमेश्वरका एकजना मानिस हुनुहुन्छ। मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई धेरै मान्छन्। उहाँले जे भन्नुहुन्छ त्यो पुग्छ। यसकारण हामीहरू शहरमा जाऔं। हुनसक्छ परमेश्वरका मानिसले हामीलाई अब कता जानुपर्ने हो भनिदिनु हुन्छ होला।” 7 शाऊलले आफ्ना नोकरलाई भने, “ठीकै हो, हामी शहरमा जानसक्छौ। तर हामीले त्यस मानिसलाई के दिनसक्छौं र? हामीले बोकेका थैलाका भोजन पनि त सकिसक्यो। हाम्रोमा परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई दिने केही भेंटी पनि छैन। हामीसँग दिने लायकको के छ र!” 8 फेरि पनि त्यस नोकरले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “हेर्नुहोस्, मसँग अलिकति धनको रूपमा चाँदीको एक चौथाइ शेकेल छ। यही हामीले ती परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई चढायौं भने उहाँले हामीलाई कता जानुपर्ने हो बताउनुहुन्छ।” 9-11 शाऊलले आफ्ना नोकरलाई भने, “त्यो असल सुझाव हो! हामी जाऔं!” यसरी तिनीहरू शहरमा गए जहाँ परमेश्वरका मानिस थिए। शाऊल र तिनका नोकर पहाड उक्लँदै शहरतिर जाँदै थिए। तिनीहरूले केही जवान स्त्रीहरूलाई बाटोमा भेटे जो पानी भर्न आएका थिए। शाऊल र तिनका नोकरले ती ठिटीहरूलाई सोधे, “के दर्शी घरैमा हुनुहुन्छ?” (प्राचीन समयमा अगमवक्तालाई “दर्शी” भन्थे।) 12 ठिटीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “ज्यू, उहाँ हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँ तपाईंहरू भन्दा अघि जादै हुनहुन्छ। उहाँ आजै शहरमा आउनुभयो। मानिसहरूले भेला भएर उच्च स्थानहरूमा मेलबलि चढाउने भएका छन्। 13 कृपया जानुहोस् र उहाँलाई शहरमा भेट्नुहुन्छ। यदि तपाईंहरूले चाँडो गर्नुभयो भने उहाँ दर्शीलाई आराधनालयमा खान जानुभन्दा पहिले भेटिहाल्नुहुन्छ। किनभने दर्शीले बलिदानलाई आशीर्वाद दिनुपर्छ। मानिसहरूले उहाँ त्यहाँ नपुगन्जेल भोजन ग्रहण गर्दैनन्। यसकारण चाँडो जानुहोस्।” 14 शाऊल र तिनका नोकर शहर पुग्न पहाडको बाटो उक्लन थाले। जस्तो तिनीहरू शहरभित्र पस्दै थिए, त्यस्तै शमूएल उनीहरूका अघिल्तिर देखा परे। शमूएल आराधना स्थानतिर जानलाग्दै थिए। 15 एक दिन अगाडि परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुभएको थियो, 16 “भोलि म यही समय पारेर एउटा मानिसलाई तँ कहाँ पठाउनेछु। यो मानिस बिन्यामिनी कुलको सदस्य हो। तैंले त्यसलाई अभिषेक गरिदिनुपर्छ। त्यसपछि त्यो मानिस मेरा इस्राएली मानिसहरूका प्रमुख हुनेछ। त्यस मानिसले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई पलिश्तीहरूबाट बचाउँने छ। मैले मेरा मानिसहरूको कष्ट देखे र रोदन सुनेकोछु।” 17 शमूएलले शाऊललाई देखे अनि परमप्रभुले भन्नु भयो, “मैले तँलाई भनेको मानिस यही हो। यसले नै मेरो मानिसहरूलाई शासन गर्नेछ।” 18 शाऊलले मूल-द्वारमा शमूएल कहाँ आएर भने, “कृपया दर्शी कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ, बताइ दिनुहुन्छ कि?” 19 शमूएलले भने, “म नै दर्शी हुँ। म भन्दा पहिले नै आराधनाको ठाउँमा जाऊ। तिमी र तिम्रा सेवकले आज मसित खाना खानेछौ। म तिमीलाई भोलि बिहान घर जानदिनेछु र जे सोध्नु छ बिहानै सोध्नु। 20 ती गधाहरूको चिन्ता नगर जो तीन दिन पहिले हराएका थिए। ती गधाहरू फेला परिसकेका छन्। अब तिमीलाई सारा इस्राएलले नै खोजिरहेकोछ। तिनीहरूले तिमी र तिम्रा पिताका परिवारलाई नै चाहान्छन्।” 21 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “तर म त बिन्यामिनी कुलको सदस्य हुँ। हाम्रो परिवार इस्राएलको सबै भन्दा सानो परिवार समूह हो। त्यस माथि पनि बिन्यामिनी कुलभित्र पनि हाम्रो परिवार समूह सबैभन्दा सानो छ। तपाई किन भन्नुहुन्छ कि इस्राएलले मलाई चाहन्छ?” 22 त्यसपछि शमूएलले शाऊल र तिनका नोकरलाई भोजनालयतिर लिएर गए। लगभग तीस जना मानिसहरू एकसाथ खाना खान र बलिदानमा भाग गर्न निम्त्याइएका थिए। शमूएलले शाऊल र तिनका नोकरलाई महात्वपूर्ण स्थानमा बसाए। 23 शमूएलले भान्सेलाई भनें, “जो मैले तिमीलाई दिएको थिएँ त्यो मासु ल्याउ जुन मासुको अंश मैले तिमीलाई सुरक्षित राख्न भनेंको थिएँ।” 24 भान्सेले फिला ल्यायो अनि शाऊलको अघि टेबलमा राख्यो। शमूएलले भने, “यो त्यही मासु हो जुन मैले तिम्रो निम्ति सुरक्षित राखेको थिएँ। यो खाऊ कारण यो यस्तै विशेष दिनको निम्ति तिम्रो सम्मानको लागि सुरक्षित राखेको थियो।” यसरी त्यस दिन शाऊलले शमूएलसँगै खाना खाए। 25 खाना खाइसके पछि आराधनालयबाट झर्दै तिनीहरू शहरतिर लागे। शमूएलले शाऊलका निम्ति कौसीमा ओछ्यान लगाए शाऊल त्यहीं सुतें। 26 भोलिपल्ट बिहानै शमूएलले शाऊललाई उठाउँदै भनें, “उठ, म तिमीलाई बाटो देखाइदिन्छु।” शाऊल उठे अनि शमूएलकासाथ घरबाट बाहिरिए। 27 शहरको किनारतिर शाऊल, तिनका नोकर र शमूएल अघि बढ्दै थिए। शमूएलले शाऊललाई भने, “तपाईंको नोकरलाई हामी भन्दा अघि हिँड्न भन्नुहोस्। मैले तपाईंलाई परमेश्वरको संदेश सुनाउन बाँकी नै छ।” नोकर तिनीहरू भन्दा केही अघि हिँड्न थाल्यो।
