< 撒母耳記上 12 >

1 撒慕爾對全以色列人說:「看,我全聽從了你們向我所說的話,立了一位君王管理你們。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Vakai, kuo u tokanga ki homou leʻo ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa mou tala kiate au, pea kuo u fakanofo homou tuʻi.
2 從此以後,有君王領導你們。至於我,我已老了,頭髮也白了;不過我的兒子還同你們在一起。我從小直到今天,常在你們面往來。
Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ʻae tuʻi ʻi homou ʻao: pea ko au kuo u motuʻa mo ʻuluhinā; pea vakai ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu hoku ongo foha: pea kuo u ʻalu pe ʻi homou ʻao talu ʻeku kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
3 看,我在這裏,請你們在上主面前,在他受傅者面前答覆我:我奪過誰的牛,或奪過誰的驢﹖我壓迫過誰,或虐待過誰﹖從誰手裏接受過掩人耳目的賄賂﹖若有,我必歸還你們。」
Vakai ko au eni, mou fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene pani: ko e pulu ʻa hai kuo u faʻao? Pe ko e ʻasi ʻa hai kuo u toʻo? Pe ko hai ha tokotaha kuo u kākaaʻi? Pe ko hai ia kuo u fakafiuʻi? Pe naʻaku maʻu ʻae koloa totongi ʻi he nima ʻo hai ke fakakui ʻaki hoku mata? Pea te u toe ʻatu ia kiate kimoutolu.”
4 他們答說:「你總沒有壓迫或虐待過我們,也沒有從任何人手裏接受過什麼。」
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te ke kākaaʻi ʻakimautolu, pe fakafiuʻi ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke toʻo ha meʻa mei he nima ʻo ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
5 他又對他們說:「上主給你們作證,受傅者今日也作證:你們在我手中沒有找出什麼。」他們答說:「可以作證。」
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni mo ʻene pani he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi hoku nima.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e fakamoʻoni [ia].”
6 撒慕爾又對百姓說:「作見證的,是興起梅瑟和亞郎,並領你們祖先從埃及地上來的上主。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “Ko Sihova ia ʻaia naʻa ne fakahikihiki ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, mo ne ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
7 現今你們要前來,我要在上主面前使你們認清,上主向你們和你們祖先所施行的一切恩惠:
Pea ko eni mou tuʻu pe, koeʻuhi ke tau alea mo kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai kiate kimoutolu, pea ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
8 當雅各伯和他的兒子來到埃及時,埃及人壓迫他們,你們的祖先就向上主哀號,上主遂派遺梅瑟和亞郎領你們的祖先離開了埃及,使他們住在這個地方。
‌ʻI he hoko ʻa Sēkope ki ʻIsipite, pea tangi ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai kia Sihova, naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻaia naʻa na ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, pea ne ne pule ke nofomaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu ni.
9 但他們忘卻了上主他們的天主,他就將他們交在哈祚爾的元帥息色辣手中、培肋舍特人手中和摩阿布王手中,使這些人攻打他們。
Pea ʻi heʻenau fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, naʻa ne fakatau ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Sisela, ko e ʻeikitau ʻo Hasoa, pea ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Moape, pea naʻa nau tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
10 他們就呼求上主說:我們犯了罪,離棄了上主,事奉了巴耳和阿市托勒特諸神;如今求你救我們脫離我們敵人的手,我們願事奉你。
Pea naʻa nau tangi kia Sihova ʻonau pehē, ‘Kuo mau fai angahala, koeʻuhi kuo mau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, pea mau tauhi kia Peali mo ʻAsitelote: ka ko eni, fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he nima ʻo homau ngaahi fili, pea te mau tauhi koe.’
11 上主就派耶魯巴耳、巴辣克、依弗大和三松,從你們四圍敵人的手中拯救了你們,你們纔得安居。
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻa Selupeali, mo Pitani, mo Sefita, mo Samuela, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, pea ne mou nonofo fiemālie pe.
12 當你們看見阿孟子民的君王納哈王來攻打你們時,曾對我說:不,我們要有一位君王來管理我們,──雖然上主你們的天主原是你們的君王。
Pea ʻi hoʻomou mamata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Naʻasi ko e tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ke tauʻi ʻakimoutolu, naʻa mou pehē leva kiate au, ‘ʻIkai; ka ʻe pule ha tuʻi kiate kimoutolu: ka ko homou tuʻi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.’
13 現今,看,你們所揀選,所要求的君王;看,上主立了一位君王管理你們。
Pea ko eni, vakai ki he tuʻi ʻaia kuo mou fili, mo ia ne mou holi ki ai! Pea vakai, kuo fakanofo ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻi, kiate kimoutolu.
14 若是你們敬畏上主,事奉上主,聽從他的話,不背叛上主的命令;若是你們和管理你們的君王,隨從上主你們的天主,便可生存。
Kapau te mou manavahē kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia, pea fai talangofua ki heʻene folofola, pea ʻoua naʻa angatuʻu ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, pehē ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ʻakimoutolu mo e tuʻi foki ʻoku pule kiate kimoutolu ʻi he muimui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:
15 倘若你們不聽從上主的話,背叛上主的命令,上主的手必要與你們和你們的君王作對。
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko hono hiki hake ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
16 現今你們前來,看上主在你們眼前要作的這偉大的奇事。
“Pea ko eni, mou tutuʻu ʻo mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni, ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao.
17 現今不是收割麥子的季節嗎﹖但是我要呼求上主打雷下雨,使你們明白,也看出:你們要求一位君王,是行了上主眼中多麼可惡的事。」
‌ʻIkai ko e ʻaho eni ʻoe ututaʻu uite? Te u ui kia Sihova, pea te ne fekau ʻae mana mo e ʻuha; koeʻuhi ke mou vakai ʻo ʻilo ʻoku lahi ʻa hoʻomou angahala, ʻaia kuo mou fai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi hoʻomou kole ʻae tuʻi moʻomoutolu.
18 撒慕爾呼籲了上主,上主就在那天打雷下雨;全民眾對上主和撒慕爾很是害怕,
Ko ia naʻe lotu ai ʻa Samuela kia Sihova: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae mana mo e ʻuha ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe manavahē lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē kia Sihova mo Samuela.”
19 都對撒慕爾說:「你為你的僕人們轉求上主你的天主,別使我們死了,因為在我們一切罪惡之上,又加了一個為我們要求君王的罪過。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē kia Samuela, “Ke ke hūfia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻoua naʻa mau mate: he kuo mau fakalahi ʻaki ʻemau ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻae kovi ni, ke kole ʻae tuʻi moʻomautolu.”
20 撒慕爾對民眾說:「你們不必害怕;你們固然犯了這一切罪過,但決不要遠離上主,反而要全心事奉上主。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela ki he kakai, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē: kuo mou fai ʻae ngaahi angahala ni kotoa pē: kaeʻoua naʻa mou tafoki mei hoʻomou muimui ʻia Sihova, ka mou tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻaki homou loto kotoa;
21 你們不要追求不能援助,也不能施救的虛無邪神,因為他們只是「虛無」而已。
Pea ʻoua naʻa mou afe atu: he ka pehē te mou muimui ai ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga pe faʻa fakamoʻui; he ko e meʻa vaʻinga.
22 上主為了自己的大名,決不拋棄自己的百姓,因為上主喜歡你們作他的百姓。
He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai koeʻuhi ko hono huafa lahi: he kuo lelei kia Sihova ke ne ngaohi ʻakimoutolu ko hono kakai.
23 我也決不願得罪上主,停止為你們祈禱,或停止教訓你們行善道,走正路。
Pea ko au foki, Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku fai angahala kia Sihova ʻi he tuku ʻeku hūfia ʻakimoutolu: ka teu ako kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala lelei mo totonu:
24 你們只該敬畏上主,全心忠誠事奉上主,因為你們看見了,他為你們作的,是何等偉大的事。
Ke mou manavahē pe kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia ʻi he moʻoni ʻo homou loto kotoa: he vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo ne fai maʻamoutolu.
25 假使你們仍固執於惡,你們和你們的君王都必要喪亡。」
Pea kapau te mou kei fai angakovi, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu mo homou tuʻi.”
