1 Samuel 8
1 When Samuel grew old, he made his sons leaders over Israel.
Sa: miuele da da: i hamobeba: le, e da egefela Isala: ili fi ilima fofada: su dunu ilegei.
2 His first son was named Joel, and his second son was named Abijah. They were rulers in Beersheba.
Ea magobo mano ea dio da Youele amola amo baligia mano ea dio da Abaidia. Youele amola Abaidia ela da Biasiba moilai amo ganodini bisisu dunu esalu.
3 However, his sons did not follow his ways. They were corrupt, making money by accepting bribes and perverting justice.
Be elea da eda ea hamoma: ne adodigi amane hame hamosu. Elea da munima fawane bagade hanai galu. Amaiba: le ela ogogole hano sulugili amalu fofada: nanu molole dafawaneyale hame hawa: hamoi.
4 So the elders of Israel all joined together and came to meet Samuel at Ramah.
Amalu, Isala: ili ouligisu hina ilia da gilisilalu, Sa: miuelema afia: i, La: ima moilaiga.
5 “Look here,” they told him, “you are old, and your sons do not follow your ways. Choose a king to rule over us like all the other nations.”
Amalu ema amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Di da da: i hamosa, amola dia mano ilia da dia hamobe amo defele hame hamosa. Amaiba: le, hina bagade dunu afae nini ouligilaloma: ne dia ilegema. Amasea sogebi eno ilia hina bagade galebe, amo defele ninia da hina bagade esaloma: ne.”
6 Samuel thought this was a bad idea when they said, “Give us a king to rule over us,” so he prayed to the Lord about it.
Sa: miuele da ilia hina bagade eno lamusa: adole ba: beba: le, da: i dione ougi. Amaiba: le, e da Godema sia: ne gadoi.
7 “Do what the people tell you,” the Lord said to Samuel, “because it's not you they're rejecting, but me as their king.
Amola Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu ilia dima sia: be huluane noga: le nabima. Ilia da dima hame higa: i. Be ilia Hina Bagade da Na. Amaiba: le ilia da Nama higasa.
8 They're doing just as they have always done since I led them out of Egypt right up to now. They have abandoned me and worshiped other gods, and they're doing just the same to you.
Musa: ganini, Na da ilia Idibidi sogega esalu amo fadegalesiliba, ilia da nama baligifa: le, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosu. Amola musa: ilia da nama agoane hamosu, amo defele ilia da wali dima hamosa.
9 So do what they want, but give them a solemn warning—explain to them what a king will do when he rules over them.”
Amaiba: le ilia sia: nabima. Be ilia nabima: ne, gasa bagade sisasu ilima sia: ma. Amola ilia hina bagade ea ilima hamomu hou noga: le olelema.”
10 Samuel repeated all that the Lord had said to the people asking him to give them a king.
Sa: miuele da dunu ema hina bagade eno lamusa: adola masu, ilima Gode Ea ema sia: i liligi huluane alofele i.
11 “This is what a king will do when he rules over you,” he told them. “He will take your sons and make them serve as charioteers and horsemen, and to run as a guard in front of his chariot.
“Dilia hina bagade ilegemu da dilima agoane hamomu,” Sa: miuele da dili i. “E da dilia mano ili ea dadi gagui dunu hamoma: mu amola oda da ea gegesu sa: liode ouligisu dunu ba: mu, amola oda ea gegesu hosiga fila heda: i dunu ba: mu. Amola oda da ea sa: liode bisili heda: le hehenasu dunu ba: mu.
12 Some of them he will make commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some will have to plow his fields and reap his harvest. Some will be assigned to making weapons of war and chariot equipment.
E da dunu oda ouligisu hamomusa: ilegelesili, amoea dunu 1,000 agoane ouligima: mu, amola oda da dunu 50 amo ouligima: mu. E da dunu oda ea moi gidinasuga dogoma: mu amola ea ha: i manu sagai faima: mu. E da dunu oda ea gegesu dadi debema: mu amola sa: liode hamoma: mu.
13 He will take your daughters and have them work as perfume-makers, cooks, and bakers.
Dilia uda mano ilia da gabusiga: na manoma hahamomu amola Ea ha: i manu gobele iasu hamomu amola ha: i manu momagelalumu amo ilegemu.
14 He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves and give them to his officials.
E da dilia osobo noga: idafa, efe bugi amola olife bugi amo lale, ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilima imunu.
15 He will take a tenth of your grain harvest and the produce of your vineyards and allocate it to his chief officers and officials.
E da dilia gagoma amola waini fage amo nabuane fifili, afadafa lale dilia fofada: su ouligisu, amola eno ouligisu dunu iligili imunu.
16 He will take your male servants and your female servants, and your best young men and your donkeys, and make them work for him.
E da dilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola dilia hanaidafa bulamagau amola dougi lale, ea hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne lamu.
17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will be his slaves.
E da dilia ohe fofoi nabuane momogili afadafa udigili lamu. Amola dilia da bu ea hawa: hamosu dunu esaloma: mu.
18 On that day you will plead to be rescued from the king you have chosen, but the Lord won't answer you then.”
Amo eso da doaga: sea dilia da da: i dione egagia: mu amo da hina bagade dunu dilia hanaiga labe amo ia baiga, be Gode da dilia egabe hame nabimu.”
19 But the people refused to listen to what Samuel said. “No!” they insisted. “We want our own king!
Be Isala: ili dunu ilia da Sa: miuelema nabasu hou hame hamoi, be amane sia: i, “Hame! Ninia da hina bagade lamu hanai.
20 That way we can be like all the other nations. Our king will rule us, and will lead us when we go out to fight our battles.”
Amasea ninia da sogebi eno ili agoai defele ba: mu, ninia hina bagade hi fawane da nini ouligili, amola hifawane bisili gegena afufumu.”
21 Samuel listened to everything the people said and repeated it to the Lord.
Sa: miuele da ilia sia: huluanedafa noga: le nabalu bu asili Hina Godema alofele i.
22 The Lord told Samuel, “Do what they say and give them a king.” Then Samuel told the Israelites, “Go back to your homes.”
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Ili sia: i defele ilima hina bagade ima.” Amalu Sa: miuele da dunu huluane da ili fifilasua afia: ma: ne adoi.
