1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Samuel a matawng toung dawkvah a capanaw hah Isarelnaw lawkcengkung lah ao sak.
2 And the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they judged in Beer-sheba.
A capa camin e min teh Joel doeh. Apa hni e a capa teh Abijah Beersheba kho dawk lawkceng bawi lah ao.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
Hateiteh a capanaw ni a lamthung patetlah dawn awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh tangka e hnuk a kâbang awh teh lam a phen awh. Tadawnghno a ca awh teh lawkngai awh hoeh.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw a kamkhueng awh teh Ramah kho vah kaawm e Samuel koe a cei awh.
5 and said to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now appoint us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
Ahni koe na matawng poung toe. Na capanaw ni hai na lamthung dawn awh hoeh toe. Jentelnaw patetlah kaimae lathueng siangpahrang na poe leih telah a dei awh.
6 And the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah.
Kaimanaw lawkkaceng hane siangpahrang na poe leih atipouh e ni Samuel a lunghawi sak hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
7 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
Hattoteh BAWIPA ni Samuel koe taminaw ni nang koe a dei e lawk thai pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hah na pahnawt awh hoeh. Kai hai ahnimanaw ukkung lah o hoeh nahan kai doeh na pahnawt awh toe.
8 According to all the deeds that they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai hnin hoi sahnin totouh, kai na pahnawt awh teh alouke cathutnaw hah a bawk awh toe. Kaie lathueng a tawksak awh e patetlah nange lathueng hai a sak awh toe.
9 And now hearken unto their voice; only, testify solemnly unto them, and declare unto them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimae lawkngai pouh haw. Hatei kâhruetcuetnae poe nateh ahnimanaw ka uk e siangpahrang e nuencang hah hmawt sak loe telah atipouh.
10 And Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that asked of him a king.
Samuel ni BAWIPA e a lawknaw hah, siangpahrang kahetnaw koe bout a dei pouh.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, on his chariot and among his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
Nangmae lathueng kaukkung hane siangpahrang o ang teh, het hah doeh. Na capanaw a la vaiteh, amae leng, ranglengnaw, marangransanaw thaw na poe vaiteh, a tangawn hai ahnie rangleng hmalah a yawng awh han.
12 and [he will take them] that he may appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties, and that they may plough his ground, and reap his harvest, and make his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots.
Ransa 1,000 touh kaukkung 50 touh kaukkung, ransabawi thaw a poe. Laikawk ka thawn hane hoi cang ka a hane hoi tarantuknae puengcang kasakkung hoi rangleng puengcang kasakkung lah lengkaleng thaw a poe awh han.
13 And he will take your daughters for perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
Nangmae na canunaw hai a la vaiteh, hmuitui katawkkung, rawca ka khenyawnkung lah thoseh, vaiyei kathakkung lah thoseh, thaw a poe awh han.
14 And your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give to his servants.
Nangmae lawnaw, misur takhanaw, Olive takhanaw hai a la vaiteh, a sannaw koe a poe awh han.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains and to his servants.
Nangmae caticamu, a pawhik pung hra pung touh na la pouh vaiteh thaw katawknaw hoi kacuenaw koe a poe awh han.
16 And he will take your bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest young men, and your asses, and use them for his work.
Nangmae na sannu sanpanaw, na thoundoun kahawi kahawinaw hoi lanaw a la vaiteh a thaw tawk awh nahanelah a hno awh han.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants.
Nangmae Tu pung hra pung touh a la vaiteh nangmouh teh ahnimae san lah na o awh han.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day.
Na rawi awh e siangpahrang kecu dawk na khui na ka awh han. Hote hnin dawk na hram na ki awh eiteh, BAWIPA ni na thai pouh mahoeh telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
19 And the people refused to hearken to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but there shall be a king over us,
Hatei taminaw ni Samuel e lawk a ek awh teh, ahnimouh ni telah nahoeh. Kaimouh ka uk hane siangpahrang doeh ka ngai.
20 that we also may be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and conduct our wars.
Hattorei doeh kaimouh hai alouke ramnaw hoi kâvan awh han. Kamamouh e siangpahrang ni lawk na ceng pouh han. Ka miphun heh a hrawi vaiteh taran na tuk pouh han. Telah bout a dei awh.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the ears of Jehovah.
Samuel ni tamipueng e lawk a ngâi teh BAWIPA koe bout a dei pouh.
22 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.
BAWIPA ni Samuel koe ahnimae lawk tarawi haw, ahnimouh han siangpahrang rawi pouh haw telah ati. Samuel ni Isarelnaw koevah namamouh kho lengkaleng ban awh telah atipouh.
