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 was old, he made his sons 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 was Joel, and the name of his second son 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.
His sons did not walk in his ways, but chased after dishonest gain. They took bribes and perverted justice.
4 Amalu, Isala: ili ouligisu hina ilia da gilisilalu, Sa: miuelema afia: i, La: ima moilaiga.
Then 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.”
They said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint for us a king to judge us like all the 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 it displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in everything they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
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.
They are acting now the same as they did since the day I brought them out of Egypt, forsaking me, and serving other gods, and so they are also 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 warn them solemnly and let them know the way the king will rule 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 told all the words of Yahweh to the people who were asking 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 practice of the king who will reign over you. He will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before 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 for himself captains of thousands and captains of fifties. He will make some plow his ground, some reap his harvest, and some make his weapons of war and the equipment for 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.
He will also 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 very best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive orchards, 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 of your vineyards and give to his officers and his servants.
16 E da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola dilia hanaidafa bulamagau amola dougi lale, ea hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne lamu.
He will take your male servants and your female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys; he will put them all to work for him.
17 E da dilia ohe fofoi nabuane momogili afadafa udigili lamu. Amola dilia da bu ea hawa: hamosu dunu esaloma: mu.
He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you will be 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.”
Then on that day you will cry out because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves; but Yahweh 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.
But the people refused to listen to Samuel; they said, “No! There must be 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.”
so that we might be like all the other nations, and so that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 Sa: miuele da ilia sia: huluanedafa noga: le nabalu bu asili Hina Godema alofele i.
When Samuel heard all the words of the people he repeated them in the ears of Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Samuel, “Obey their voice and cause someone to be king for them.” So Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Every man must go to his own city.”
