1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
Samuel a matawng toung dawkvah a capanaw hah Isarelnaw lawkcengkung lah ao sak.
2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
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 they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
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 ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw a kamkhueng awh teh Ramah kho vah kaawm e Samuel koe a cei awh.
5 And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
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 word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Kaimanaw lawkkaceng hane siangpahrang na poe leih atipouh e ni Samuel a lunghawi sak hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but 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 their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange 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 Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right 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 Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
Samuel ni BAWIPA e a lawknaw hah, siangpahrang kahetnaw koe bout a dei pouh.
11 And said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to 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 appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and 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 Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his 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 he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
Nangmae lawnaw, misur takhanaw, Olive takhanaw hai a la vaiteh, a sannaw koe a poe awh han.
15 Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
Nangmae caticamu, a pawhik pung hra pung touh na la pouh vaiteh thaw katawknaw hoi kacuenaw koe a poe awh han.
16 Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to 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 Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.
Nangmae Tu pung hra pung touh a la vaiteh nangmouh teh ahnimae san lah na o awh han.
18 And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
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 But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: 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 And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
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 rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
Samuel ni tamipueng e lawk a ngâi teh BAWIPA koe bout a dei pouh.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go 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.
