1 Samuel 8
1 And it happened that, when Samuel had become old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli di arúgbó, ó yan àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́ fún Israẹli.
2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of the second was Abijah: judges at Beersheba.
Orúkọ àkọ́bí rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Joẹli àti orúkọ èkejì a máa jẹ́ Abijah, wọ́n ṣe ìdájọ́ ní Beerṣeba.
3 But his sons did not walk in his ways. Instead, they turned aside, pursuing avarice. And they accepted bribes, and they perverted judgment.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, kò rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀. Wọ́n yípadà sí èrè àìṣòótọ́, wọ́n gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń yí ìdájọ́ po.
4 Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel, having gathered together, went to Samuel at Ramah.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ti Israẹli péjọpọ̀, wọ́n sì wá sọ́dọ̀ Samuẹli ní Rama.
5 And they said to him: “Behold, you are elderly, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint for us a king, so that he may judge us, just as all the nations have.”
Wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ti di arúgbó, àwọn ọmọ rẹ kò sì rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ, nísinsin yìí, yan ọba fún wa kí ó lè máa darí wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí i tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.”
6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n wí pé, “Fún wa ní ọba tí yóò darí wa,” èyí kò tẹ́ Samuẹli lọ́rùn, ó sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa.
7 Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.
Olúwa sì sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Gbọ́ ohùn àwọn ènìyàn náà, ní gbogbo èyí tí wọ́n sọ fún ọ; nítorí kì í ṣe ìwọ ni wọ́n kọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni wọ́n kọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba lórí wọn.
8 In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní ọjọ́ tí mo mú wọn jáde wá láti Ejibiti títí di ọjọ́ òní, wọ́n kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń sin ọlọ́run mìíràn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe sí ọ.
9 Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them.”
Nísinsin yìí, gbọ́ tiwọn; ṣùgbọ́n kìlọ̀ fún wọn dáradára, kí o sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n mọ irú ohun tí ọba tí yóò jẹ́ lórí wọn yóò ṣe.”
10 And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
Samuẹli sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó ń béèrè fún ọba lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
11 And he said: “This will be the right of the king who will have authority over you: He will take your sons, and place them in his chariots. And he will make them his horsemen and his runners before his four-horse chariots.
Ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí ọba tí yóò jẹ lórí yín yóò ṣe. Yóò kó àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín, yóò sì mú wọn ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ àti fún ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ, wọn yóò sì máa sáré níwájú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀.
12 And he will appoint them to be his tribunes and centurions, and the plowmen of his fields, and the harvesters of the grain, and the makers of his weapons and chariots.
Yóò yan díẹ̀ láti jẹ́ olórí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti olórí àádọ́ta àti àwọn mìíràn. Yóò yan wọ́n láti máa tulẹ̀ oko rẹ̀ àti láti máa kórè rẹ̀ àti àwọn mìíràn láti máa ṣe ohun èlò ogun àti ohun èlò kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun rẹ̀.
13 Likewise, your daughters he will take for himself as makers of ointments, and as cooks and bakers.
Yóò mú àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín láti máa ṣe olùṣe ìkunra olóòórùn dídùn àti láti máa ṣe àsè àti láti máa ṣe àkàrà.
14 Also, he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.
Yóò mú èyí tí ó dára jù nínú oko yín, àti nínú ọgbà àjàrà yín àti nínú igi olifi yín, yóò sì fi wọ́n fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
15 Moreover, he will take one tenth of your grain and of the results of your vineyards, so that he may give these to his eunuchs and servants.
Yóò mú ìdásímẹ́wàá hóró ọkà yín àti àká èso àjàrà yín, yóò sì fi fún àwọn oníṣẹ́ àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
16 Then, too, he will take your servants, and handmaids, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and he will set them to his work.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin yín àti èyí tí ó dára jù nínú ẹran ọ̀sìn àti àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ yín ni yóò mú fún ìlò ti ara rẹ̀.
17 Also, he will take a tenth of your flocks. And you will be his servants.
Yóò sì mú ìdámẹ́wàá nínú àwọn agbo ẹran yín, yóò sì máa ṣe ẹrú u rẹ̀.
18 And you will cry out, in that day, from the face of the king, whom you have chosen for yourselves. And the Lord will not heed you, in that day. For you requested a king for yourselves.”
Tí ọjọ́ náà bá dé, ẹ̀yin yóò kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba tí ẹ̀yin ti yàn. Olúwa kò sì ní dá a yín lóhùn ní ọjọ́ náà.”
19 But the people were not willing to listen to the voice of Samuel. Instead, they said: “By no means! For there shall be a king over us,
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kọ̀ láti tẹ́tí sí Samuẹli wọ́n wí pé, “Rárá! A bí ìwọ fẹ́ jẹ́ ọba lórí i wa?
20 and we shall be just like all the Gentiles. And our king will judge us, and he will go out before us, and he will fight our wars for us.”
Nígbà náà àwa yóò dàbí gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn, pẹ̀lú ọba láti darí i wa àti láti jáde lọ níwájú wa láti ja ogun wa.”
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them to the ears of the Lord.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli gbọ́ gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn sọ, ó tún tún un sọ níwájú Olúwa.
22 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king over them.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Let each one go to his own city.”
Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Tẹ́tí sí wọn, kí o sì yan ọba fún wọn.” Nígbà náà, Samuẹli sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli pé, “Kí olúkúlùkù padà sí ìlú u rẹ̀.”
