< 1 Samuel 8 >

1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli di arúgbó, ó yan àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí adájọ́ fún Israẹli.
2 And the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they judged in Beer-sheba.
Orúkọ àkọ́bí rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Joẹli àti orúkọ èkejì a máa jẹ́ Abijah, wọ́n ṣe ìdájọ́ ní Beerṣeba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, kò rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀. Wọ́n yípadà sí èrè àìṣòótọ́, wọ́n gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń yí ìdájọ́ po.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ti Israẹli péjọpọ̀, wọ́n sì wá sọ́dọ̀ Samuẹli ní Rama.
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.
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 thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that asked of him a king.
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 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;
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 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.
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 And he will take your daughters for perfumers, and 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 And your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give 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 And he will take the tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains and to his servants.
Yóò mú ìdásímẹ́wàá hóró ọkà yín àti àká èso àjàrà yín, yóò sì fi fún àwọn oníṣẹ́ àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
16 And he will take your bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest young men, and your asses, and use them for 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 He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants.
Yóò sì mú ìdámẹ́wàá nínú àwọn agbo ẹran yín, yóò sì máa ṣe ẹrú u rẹ̀.
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.
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 And the people refused to hearken to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but 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 that we also may be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and conduct our wars.
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 repeated them in the ears of Jehovah.
Nígbà tí Samuẹli gbọ́ gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn sọ, ó tún tún un sọ níwájú Olúwa.
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.
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.”
