1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
Hoe t’i Samoele tam’ Israele iaby: Nihaoñeko o fiarañanaña’ areoo amo nisaontsia’ areo iabio, vaho nanoako mpanjaka.
2 And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth unto this day, behold here I am.
Inao arè te mañavelo aolo’ areo i mpanjakay henane zao, izaho fa bey naho fotivolo; ingo, mpiama’ areo o ana-dahikoo, vaho fa nanjotik’ aolo’ areo iraho boak’ an-katorako am-para’ te henaneo.
3 Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man’s ox, or ass: If I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man’s hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you.
Intoy iraho, miasìa ahy añatrefa’ Iehovà naho aolo’ i noriza’ey: vosi’ ia ty nalaeko? ndra borì’ ia ty rinambeko? ia ty nikatramoeko? ia ty finorekekeko? am-pità’ ia ty nitavanako vokàñe hampikipe o masokoo? le havahako ama’ areo.
4 And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor taken ought at any man’s hand.
Le hoe iereo: Tsy nikatramo anay irehe, tsy niforekeke’o, tsy rinambe’o ty am-pità’ ondaty.
5 And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness.
Le hoe re ama’e: Valolombeloñ’ ama’ areo t’Iehovà, valolombelon-ka i norizañ’ anianikey te tsy nahaonin-draha an-tañako nahareo. Le hoe iereo, Ie ty valolombeloñe.
6 And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord, who made Moses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ondatio: Iehovà ty nanendre i Mosè naho i Aharone, naho nañakatse an-droae’ areo an-tane Mitsraime añe.
7 Now therefore stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers:
Aa le mihendrea, fa miveroke ama’ areo iaby añatrefa’ Iehovà o fitoloñañe vanta’ Iehovà nanoe’e ama’ areo naho aman-droae’ areoo.
8 How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt: and made them dwell in this place.
Naho nivotrak’ e Mitsraime ao t’Iakobe, le nitoreo amy Iehovà o roae’ areoo, vaho nirahe’ Iehovà t’i Mosè naho i Aharone; ie ty nañavotse o roae’ areoo boak’ e Mitsraime añe, naho nampimoneña’e an-tane atoy.
9 And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
Fe nihaliño’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho natolo’e am-pità’ i Sisere, mpifehe ty valobohò’ i Katsore, naho am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio naho am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey, le nialia’ iareo.
10 But afterwards they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Astaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
Aa le nikoiak’ am’ Iehovà iereo ami’ty hoe: Manan-tahin-jahay, fa naforintse’ay t’Iehovà, naho nitoroñe o Baaleo naho o Asteroteo; fe avotsoro am-pità’ o rafelahi’aio le hitoroña’ay.
11 And the Lord sent Jerobaal, and Badan, and Jephte, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt securely.
Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà t’Ierobaale, naho i Bedane, naho Ieptà, naho i Samoele naho rinomba’ iereo am-pitàn-drafelahi’ areo mb’etia mb’eroa, vaho nimoneñe am-panintsiñañe nahareo.
12 But seeing that Naas king of the children of Ammon was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king.
Aa ie nizoe’ areo te naname anahareo t’i Nakase mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo le nanao ty hoe amako: Aiy, fa mpanjaka ty hifehe anay, ie ni-Mpanjaka’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
13 Now therefore your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king.
Aa ie henanekeo isaho o mpanjaka jinobo’ areoo, i nihalalie’ areoy le oniño te nampijadoñe mpanjaka hamehe anahareo t’Iehovà.
14 If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God.
Aa naho añeveña’ areo t’Iehovà, naho mitoroñe aze naho mañaoñe i fiarañanaña’ey naho tsy miola amo lili’ Iehovào, vaho songa mañorike Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho i mpanjaka mifehe anahareoy—
15 But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers.
aa hera tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà naho miola amo lili’ Iehovào le hatreatré’ ty fità’ Iehovà manahake ty niatrefa’e an-droae’ areo.
16 Now then stand, and see this great thing which the Lord will do in your sight.
Ie amy zao, mijohaña eo vaho mahaisaha ty raha jabajaba hanoe’ Iehovà añatrefam-pihaino’ areo.
17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you.
Tsy anito hao ty fitataham-bare-bolè? Hikanjy Iehovà iraho, hañitrifa’e àmpiñe miharo orañe; hahafohina’ areo naho hahaisaha’ areo te ra’elahy ty haloloañe nanoe’ areo am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà amy nihalalia’ areo mpanjakay.
18 And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day.
Aa le kinanji’ i Samoele t’Iehovà; vaho nañiraha’ Iehovà hotroke naho orañe amy andro zay; le nirevendreveñe am’ Iehovà naho i Samoele ondatio,
19 And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.
vaho hoe ondaty iabio amy Samoele: Mihalalia am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho a o mpitoro’oo, tsy hivetrake; fa nitovoña’ay amo hakeo’ay iabio ty hatsivokarañe toy, t’ie nipay mpanjaka.
20 And Samuel said to the people: Fear not, you have done all this evil: but yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ ondatio: Ko hembañe; Toe nanoe’ areo i haratiañe zay, fe ko mivìke tsy hañorike Iehovà vaho toroño an-kaliforan’ arofo t’Iehovà;
21 And turn not aside after vain things which shall never profit you, nor deliver you, because they are vain.
le ko mitsile hitoha raha kafoake tsy mahasoa tsy maharombake, amy t’ie kòake.
22 And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people.
Toe tsy haforintse’ Iehovà ondati’eo ty amy tahina’e ra’elahiy; amy te mahafale Iehovà t’ie hanoe’e ondati’e.
23 And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you, and I will teach you the good and right way.
Aa naho Izaho, ee te ho lavitse ahy ty hanao hakeo am’ Iehovà fa tsy hadòko ty hihalaly ho anahareo vaho mboe hañòhako ty sata-soa naho vantañe.
24 Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you.
Ie amy zao mañeveña am’ Iehovà naho toroño an-katò naho an-kaliforañ’ arofo le tsakoreo o fitoloñañe jabajaba nanoa’e.
25 But if you will still do wickedly: both you and your king shall perish together.
F’ie mbe hanao haloloañe le ho faohe’e añe reke-panjaka.
