Ary hoy Samoela tamin'i Saoly: Nahoana no korontaninao aho ka ampiakarinao? Dia hoy Saoly: Tery loatra aho, fa miady amiko ny Filistina, ary Andriamanitra efa nahafoy ahy ka tsy mamaly teny ahy intsony, na amin'ny mpaminany, na amin'ny nofy; koa izany no nampanalako anao mba hampahalalanao ahy izay hataoko.
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
