1 Samuel 8
1 When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
Na, ka koroheketia a Hamuera, ka meinga e ia ana tama hei kaiwhakarite mo Iharaira.
2 (And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.
Na ko te ingoa o tana matamua ko Hoere; ko Apia hoki te ingoa o tana tuarua. I whakarite raua ki Peerehepa.
3 And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.
Na kihai ana tama i tika i tona ara, engari peka ke ana raua ki te apo, i tango hoki i te moni whakapati, a whakapeaua ketia ake te whakawa.
4 Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
Katahi ka huihui nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, ka haere ki a Hamuera ki Rama.
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.
Ka mea ki a ia, Kua koroheketia koe, kahore hoki au tama e tika i ou huarahi; heoi whakaritea he kingi mo matou hei whakarite mo matou, hei pera ano me o nga iwi katoa
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
Otira i kino taua kupu ki a Hamuera, mo ratou i me, Homai he kingi ki a matou hei whakarite mo matu. Na ka inoi a Hamuera ki a Ihowa.
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.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Whakarongo ki te reo o te iwi na, ki nga mea katoa i korerotia e ratou ki a koe; ehara hoki i te mea ko koe ta ratou i paopao ai, ko ahau ia ta ratou i paopao mai nga hei kingi mo ratou.
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.
E rite ana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, o te ra iho ano i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i Ihipa a tae noa ki tenei ra; i whakarere hoki ratou i ahau, i mahi atu ki nga atua ke: ko ta ratou mahi hoki tena ki a koe.
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.
Heoi whakarongo aianei ki to ratou reo: otiia kia kaha te kauwhau ki a ratou, whakaaturia hoki nga tikanga o te kingi e whakakingitia mo ratou.
10 So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.
Na ka korerotia e Hamuera nga kupu katoa a Ihowa ki te hunga i tono kingi nei i a ia;
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.
Ka mea, Ko te tikanga tenei a te kingi e whakakingitia mo koutou: Ko a koutou tama ka tangohia e ia, ka meinga mana, mo ana hariata, hei tangata eke hoiho hoki mana, hei rere ano ki mua i ana hariata;
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.
Ka meinga hoki hei rangatira mano mana, hei rangatira mo nga rima tekau, hei parau i tana mara, hei kokoti i ana witi, hei hanga hoki i ana mea mo te whawhai, i ana mea mo ana hariata;
13 He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.
Ka tangohia hoki e ia a koutou tamahine hei mahi keke, hei taka kai, hei tunu taro.
14 And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.
Me a koutou mara, a koutou kari waina, a koutou kari oriwa, ka tangohia e ia nga mea papai, a ka hoatu ki ana pononga.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.
Ka tangohia hoki e ia te whakatekau o a koutou purapura, o a koutou kari waina, a ka hoatu ki ana unaka, ki ana pononga.
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.
Ka tangohia ano e ia a koutou pononga tane, a koutou pononga wahine, a koutou taitamariki papai, me a koutou kaihe, a ka whakamahia ki tana mahi.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
Ka tangohia ano e ia nga whakatekau o a koutou hipi: ka waiho ano hoki koutou hei pononga mana.
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.
A ka tangi koutou i taua ra i ta koutou kingi i whiriwhiri ai mo koutou; e kore ano a Ihowa e rongo ki a koutou i taua ra.
19 But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.
Otira kihai te iwi i pai kia whakarongo ki te reo o Hamuera. Na ka mea ratou, Kahore; engari me whai kingi matou;
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.
Kia rite ai hoki matou ki nga iwi katoa; a ka whakarite to matou kingi mo matou, ka haere atu hoki i to matou aroaro, hei whawhai i a matou whawhai.
21 Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.
A ka rongo a Hamuera i nga kupu katoa a te iwi, korerotia ana e ia ki nga taringa o Ihowa.
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.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Whakarongo atu ki to ratou reo, whakaritea hoki he kingi mo ratou. A ka mea a Hamuera ki nga tangata o Iharaira, Haere atu koutou ki tona pa, ki tona pa.
