1 Samuel 8
1 When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Samuel star, da je svoja sinova postavil za sodnika nad Izraelom.
2 (And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.
Torej ime njegovega prvorojenca je bilo Joél in ime njegovega drugega Abíja. Bila sta sodnika v Beeršébi.
3 And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.
Njegova sinova pa nista hodila po njegovih poteh, temveč sta se obrnila stran za dobičkom in jemala podkupnine in izkrivljala sodbo.
4 Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
Potem so se vse starešine Izraela zbrali skupaj in prišli k Samuelu v Ramo
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.
in mu rekli: »Glej, star si in tvoja sinova ne hodita po tvojih poteh. Sedaj nam postavi kralja, da nas sodi, kakor [imajo] vsi narodi.«
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
Toda stvar je razžalila Samuela, ko so rekli: »Daj nam kralja, da nas sodi.« Samuel je molil h Gospodu.
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.
Gospod je rekel Samuelu: »Prisluhni glasu ljudstva v vsem, kar ti rečejo, kajti niso zavrnili tebe, temveč so zavrnili mene, da ne bi kraljeval nad njimi.
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.
Glede na vsa dela, ki so jih storili od dne, ko sem jih privedel gor iz Egipta, celo do tega dne, s čimer so zapustili mene in služili drugim bogovom, tako delajo tudi tebi.
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.
Zdaj torej prisluhni njihovemu glasu, vendar jih slovesno posvari in jim pokaži navade kralja, ki bo kraljeval nad njimi.«
10 So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.
Samuel je ljudstvu, ki je od njega zahtevalo kralja, povedal vse Gospodove besede.
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.
Rekel je: »To bo navada kralja, ki bo kraljeval nad vami: ›Vzel bo vaše sinove in jih določil zase, za svoje bojne vozove in da bodo njegovi konjeniki in nekateri bodo tekli pred njegovimi bojnimi vozovi.
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.
Določil si bo tisočnike in poveljnike nad petdesetimi in postavil jih bo, da orjejo njegovo zemljo, da žanjejo njegovo žetev, da izdelajo njegova bojna orodja in orodja njegovih bojnih vozov.
13 He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.
Vzel bo vaše hčere, da bodo izdelovalke dišečin in da bodo kuharice in pekarice.
14 And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.
Vzel bo vaša polja in vaše vinograde in vaše oljčne nasade, celó najboljše izmed njih in jih dal svojim služabnikom.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.
Vzel bo desetino od vašega semena in od vaših vinogradov in dal svojim častnikom in svojim služabnikom.
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.
Vzel bo vaše služabnike, vaše dekle, vaše najčednejše mladeniče, vaše osle in jih postavil k svojemu delu.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
Vzel bo desetino od vaših ovc in vi boste njegovi služabniki.
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.
Vpili boste na ta dan zaradi svojega kralja, ki si ga boste izbrali, Gospod pa vas na ta dan ne bo slišal.‹«
19 But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.
Kljub temu je ljudstvo odklonilo, da uboga Samuelov glas in rekli so: »Ne, temveč bomo imeli kralja nad seboj,
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.
da bomo tudi mi lahko podobni vsem narodom in da nam bo naš kralj lahko sodil in bo pred nami šel ven in bojeval naše boje.«
21 Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.
Samuel je slišal vse besede ljudstva in jih ponovil v Gospodova ušesa.
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.
Gospod je Samuelu rekel: »Prisluhni njihovemu glasu in postavi jim kralja.« Samuel je rekel Izraelovim možem: »Pojdite vsak mož v svoje mesto.«
