1 Sa:miuele 8
1 Sa: miuele da da: i hamobeba: le, e da egefela Isala: ili fi ilima fofada: su dunu ilegei.
When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
2 Ea magobo mano ea dio da Youele amola amo baligia mano ea dio da Abaidia. Youele amola Abaidia ela da Biasiba moilai amo ganodini bisisu dunu esalu.
The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
3 Be elea da eda ea hamoma: ne adodigi amane hame hamosu. Elea da munima fawane bagade hanai galu. Amaiba: le ela ogogole hano sulugili amalu fofada: nanu molole dafawaneyale hame hawa: hamoi.
But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice.
4 Amalu, Isala: ili ouligisu hina ilia da gilisilalu, Sa: miuelema afia: i, La: ima moilaiga.
So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
5 Amalu ema amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Di da da: i hamosa, amola dia mano ilia da dia hamobe amo defele hame hamosa. Amaiba: le, hina bagade dunu afae nini ouligilaloma: ne dia ilegema. Amasea sogebi eno ilia hina bagade galebe, amo defele ninia da hina bagade esaloma: ne.”
“Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us like all the other nations.”
6 Sa: miuele da ilia hina bagade eno lamusa: adole ba: beba: le, da: i dione ougi. Amaiba: le, e da Godema sia: ne gadoi.
But when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
7 Amola Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu ilia dima sia: be huluane noga: le nabima. Ilia da dima hame higa: i. Be ilia Hina Bagade da Na. Amaiba: le ilia da Nama higasa.
And the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.
8 Musa: ganini, Na da ilia Idibidi sogega esalu amo fadegalesiliba, ilia da nama baligifa: le, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosu. Amola musa: ilia da nama agoane hamosu, amo defele ilia da wali dima hamosa.
Just 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 Amaiba: le ilia sia: nabima. Be ilia nabima: ne, gasa bagade sisasu ilima sia: ma. Amola ilia hina bagade ea ilima hamomu hou noga: le olelema.”
Now listen to them, but you must solemnly warn them and show them the manner of the king who will reign over them.”
10 Sa: miuele da dunu ema hina bagade eno lamusa: adola masu, ilima Gode Ea ema sia: i liligi huluane alofele i.
So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.
11 “Dilia hina bagade ilegemu da dilima agoane hamomu,” Sa: miuele da dili i. “E da dilia mano ili ea dadi gagui dunu hamoma: mu amola oda da ea gegesu sa: liode ouligisu dunu ba: mu, amola oda ea gegesu hosiga fila heda: i dunu ba: mu. Amola oda da ea sa: liode bisili heda: le hehenasu dunu ba: mu.
He said, “This will be the manner of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them to his own chariots and horses, to run in front of his chariots.
12 E da dunu oda ouligisu hamomusa: ilegelesili, amoea dunu 1,000 agoane ouligima: mu, amola oda da dunu 50 amo ouligima: mu. E da dunu oda ea moi gidinasuga dogoma: mu amola ea ha: i manu sagai faima: mu. E da dunu oda ea gegesu dadi debema: mu amola sa: liode hamoma: mu.
He will appoint some for himself as commanders of thousands and of fifties, and others to plow his ground, to reap his harvest, to make his weapons of war, and to equip his chariots.
13 Dilia uda mano ilia da gabusiga: na manoma hahamomu amola Ea ha: i manu gobele iasu hamomu amola ha: i manu momagelalumu amo ilegemu.
And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.
14 E da dilia osobo noga: idafa, efe bugi amola olife bugi amo lale, ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilima imunu.
He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his servants.
15 E da dilia gagoma amola waini fage amo nabuane fifili, afadafa lale dilia fofada: su ouligisu, amola eno ouligisu dunu iligili imunu.
He will take a tenth of your grain and grape harvest and give it to his officials and servants.
16 E da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola dilia hanaidafa bulamagau amola dougi lale, ea hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne lamu.
And he will take your menservants and maidservants and your best cattle and donkeys and put them to his own use.
17 E da dilia ohe fofoi nabuane momogili afadafa udigili lamu. Amola dilia da bu ea hawa: hamosu dunu esaloma: mu.
He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
18 Amo eso da doaga: sea dilia da da: i dione egagia: mu amo da hina bagade dunu dilia hanaiga labe amo ia baiga, be Gode da dilia egabe hame nabimu.”
When that day comes, you will beg for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you on that day.”
19 Be Isala: ili dunu ilia da Sa: miuelema nabasu hou hame hamoi, be amane sia: i, “Hame! Ninia da hina bagade lamu hanai.
Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king over us.
20 Amasea ninia da sogebi eno ili agoai defele ba: mu, ninia hina bagade hi fawane da nini ouligili, amola hifawane bisili gegena afufumu.”
Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to judge us, to go out before us, and to fight our battles.”
21 Sa: miuele da ilia sia: huluanedafa noga: le nabalu bu asili Hina Godema alofele i.
Samuel listened to all the words of the people and repeated them in the hearing of the LORD.
22 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Ili sia: i defele ilima hina bagade ima.” Amalu Sa: miuele da dunu huluane da ili fifilasua afia: ma: ne adoi.
“Listen to their voice,” the LORD said to Samuel. “Appoint a king for them.” Then Samuel told the men of Israel, “Everyone must go back to his city.”
