1 Samuel 8
1 When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
factum est autem cum senuisset Samuhel posuit filios suos iudices Israhel
2 (And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.
fuitque nomen filii eius primogeniti Iohel et nomen secundi Abia iudicum in Bersabee
3 And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.
et non ambulaverunt filii illius in viis eius sed declinaverunt post avaritiam acceperuntque munera et perverterunt iudicium
4 Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
congregati ergo universi maiores natu Israhel venerunt ad Samuhel in Ramatha
5 And said vnto him, Beholde, thou art olde, and thy sonnes walke not in thy wayes: make vs nowe a King to iudge vs like all nations.
dixeruntque ei ecce tu senuisti et filii tui non ambulant in viis tuis constitue nobis regem ut iudicet nos sicut universae habent nationes
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
displicuitque sermo in oculis Samuhelis eo quod dixissent da nobis regem ut iudicet nos et oravit Samuhel Dominum
7 And the Lord said vnto Samuel, Heare the voyce of the people in all that they shall say vnto thee: for they haue not cast thee away, but they haue cast me away, that I should not reigne ouer the.
dixit autem Dominus ad Samuhel audi vocem populi in omnibus quae loquuntur tibi non enim te abiecerunt sed me ne regnem super eos
8 As they haue euer done since I brought them out of Egypt euen vnto this day, (and haue forsaken me, and serued other gods) euen so doe they vnto thee.
iuxta omnia opera sua quae fecerunt a die qua eduxi eos de Aegypto usque ad diem hanc sicut dereliquerunt me et servierunt diis alienis sic faciunt etiam tibi
9 Nowe therefore hearken vnto their voyce: howbeit yet testifie vnto them, and shewe them the maner of ye King that shall reigne ouer them.
nunc ergo audi vocem eorum verumtamen contestare eos et praedic eis ius regis qui regnaturus est super eos
10 So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.
dixit itaque Samuhel omnia verba Domini ad populum qui petierat a se regem
11 And he saide, This shall be the maner of the King that shall reigne ouer you: he will take your sonnes, and appoint them to his charets, and to be his horsemen, and some shall runne before his charet.
et ait hoc erit ius regis qui imperaturus est vobis filios vestros tollet et ponet in curribus suis facietque sibi equites et praecursores quadrigarum suarum
12 Also he will make them his captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer fifties, and to eare his ground, and to reape his haruest, and to make instruments of warre, and the thinges that serue for his charets.
et constituet sibi tribunos et centuriones et aratores agrorum suorum et messores segetum et fabros armorum et curruum suorum
13 He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.
filias quoque vestras faciet sibi unguentarias et focarias et panificas
14 And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.
agros quoque vestros et vineas et oliveta optima tollet et dabit servis suis
15 And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.
sed et segetes vestras et vinearum reditus addecimabit ut det eunuchis et famulis suis
16 And he will take your men seruants, and your maide seruants, and the chiefe of your yong men, and your asses, and put them to his worke.
servos etiam vestros et ancillas et iuvenes optimos et asinos auferet et ponet in opere suo
17 He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
greges vestros addecimabit vosque eritis ei servi
18 And ye shall crie out at that day, because of your King, whom ye haue chosen you, and the Lord will not heare you at that day.
et clamabitis in die illa a facie regis vestri quem elegistis vobis et non exaudiet vos Dominus in die illa
19 But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.
noluit autem populus audire vocem Samuhel sed dixerunt nequaquam rex enim erit super nos
20 And we also will be like all other nations, and our King shall iudge vs, and goe out before vs, and fight our battels.
et erimus nos quoque sicut omnes gentes et iudicabit nos rex noster et egredietur ante nos et pugnabit bella nostra pro nobis
21 Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.
et audivit Samuhel omnia verba populi et locutus est ea in auribus Domini
22 And the Lord saide to Samuel, Hearken vnto their voyce, and make them a King. And Samuel said vnto the men of Israel, Goe euery man vnto his citie.
dixit autem Dominus ad Samuhel audi vocem eorum et constitue super eos regem et ait Samuhel ad viros Israhel vadat unusquisque in civitatem suam
