1 Samuel 12

1 And Samuel said unto all Israel: 'Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga oru tari ma kowos siyuk sik nga in oru. Nga sot nu suwos sie tokosra in leum fowos,

2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day.

ac inge el pa ac kol kowos. Funu nga, nga matuoh ac fiaya, ac wen nutik eltal muta yuruwos. Nga tuh mwet kol lowos ke nga fusr ah me nwe misenge.

3 Here I am; witness against me before the LORD, and before His anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? or whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.'

Ac inge, nga pa inge. Fin oasr kutena ma nga oru sufal nu suwos, kowos in tukakinyu inge ye mutun LEUM GOD ac ye mutun tokosra se inge su El sulela. Ya oasr pacl nga eisla cow ku donkey nutin sie suwos? Ya oasr pacl nga kutasrik ku akkeokye sie suwos? Ya oasr pacl nga tia oru nununku suwohs ke sripen sie mwet el moli nu sik? Fin oasr mwetik ke sie sin lumah inge, nga ac akfalye nu suwos.”

4 And they said: 'Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.'

Na mwet uh elos topuk ac fahk, “Mo, kom tiana kiapwekut ku akkeokye kut. Wanginna ma kom eisla sin sie sesr.”

5 And he said unto them: 'The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand.' And they said: 'He is witness.'

Ac Samuel el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD ac tokosra se su El sulela inge elos mwet loh kac misenge lah wangin ma nga sufalla kac.” Ac elos fahk, “Pwaye, LEUM GOD pa orek loh kacsr uh.”

6 And Samuel said unto the people: 'It is the LORD that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

Samuel el sifil tafwela ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa tuh sulella Moses ac Aaron, ac El pa use mwet matu lowos liki facl Egypt.

7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD, which He did to you and to your fathers.

Inge kowos tu na acn kowos tu we an, ac nga ac fah fahkkowosyak ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac akesmakinye kowos ke orekma ku su LEUM GOD El oru in molikowosla ac oayapa mwet matu lowos.

8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, then your fathers cried unto the LORD, and the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and they were made to dwell in this place.

Ke Jacob ac sou lal tuh som muta in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos tuh akkeokyalos, na mwet matu lowos elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos. Na God El supwalla Moses ac Aaron, su usalosme liki facl Egypt ac sang tuh elos in muta in facl se inge.

9 But they forgot the LORD their God, and He gave them over into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

Tuh pa mwet uh mulkunulla LEUM GOD lalos. Ke ma inge El fuhlela tuh mwet Philistia, ac tokosra lun facl Moab, ac Sisera su mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lun siti Hazor, elos in mweun lain mwet matu lowos ac kutangulosla.

10 And they cried unto the LORD, and said: We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served the Baalim and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve Thee.

Na elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, ‘Kut orekma koluk, mweyen kut forla liki kom, LEUM GOD, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lal Baal ac Astarte. Molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr, ac kut fah alu nu sum.’

11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt in safety.

Na LEUM GOD El supwalma Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, ac nga, Samuel. Kais sie sesr tuh molikowosla liki mwet lokoalok lowos, ac kowos moul in misla.

12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when the LORD your God was your king.

Na ke kowos liye tuh Tokosra Nahash lun mwet Ammon el apkuran in mweuni kowos, kowos tuku fahk nu sik, ‘Kut lungse sie tokosra in leum facsr.’ Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos pilesralla LEUM GOD, su tokosra na pwaye lowos.

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have asked for; and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

“Pa inge tokosra se su kowos sulela. Kowos tuh siyuk kac, ac inge LEUM GOD El eisalot nu suwos.

14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve Him, and hearken unto His voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of the LORD your God —;

Ma nukewa ac fah fahsr wona kowos fin akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, ac kulansupal, porongal, ac akos ma sap lal, oayapa kowos ac tokosra lowos fin fahsr tukun God.

15 but if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, and against your fathers.

A kowos fin tia porongo LEUM GOD, ac tia akos ma sap lal, El ac fah lain kowos ac tokosra lowos an.

16 Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

Ke ma inge, kowos tu yen kowos tu we an, ac liye ma sakirik se su LEUM GOD El ac oru inge.

17 Is it not wheat harvest to-day? I will call unto the LORD, that He may send thunder and rain; and ye shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.'

Pacl in wangin af pa inge, pwaye? Liye, nga ac fah pre, ac LEUM GOD El ac fah supwama pulahl ac af. Ke ac sikyak ma inge, na kowos fah akilen lah kowos orala sie ma koluk lulap lain LEUM GOD ke kowos tuh siyuk sel ke sie tokosra.”

18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

Na Samuel el pre, ac in len sac LEUM GOD El supweya pulahl ac af. Na mwet nukewa elos sangeng sin LEUM GOD ac sel Samuel,

19 And all the people said unto Samuel: 'Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not; for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.'

ac elos fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nunak munas, pre nu sin LEUM GOD lom kacsr, tuh kut in tia misa. Inge kalem sesr lah sayen ma koluk puspis pac lasr, kut oayapa oru ma koluk se inge ke kut siyuk tuh in oasr sie tokosra lasr.”

20 And Samuel said unto the people: 'Fear not; ye have indeed done all this evil; yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

Ac Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nimet kowos sangeng kowos finne oru ma koluk yohk se inge. Kowos in tia forla liki LEUM GOD, a kowos in kulansupal ke insiowos kewa.

21 and turn ye not aside; for then should ye go after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain.

Nik kowos fahsr tukun god lusrongten. Elos tia ku in kasrekowos, ku molikowosla, mweyen elos tia ma pwaye.

22 For the LORD will not forsake His people for His great name's sake; because it hath pleased the LORD to make you a people unto Himself.

LEUM GOD El orala tari sie wulela mutal, ac El fah tia siskowosla, mweyen El sulela tari tuh El ac fah oru tuh kowos in sie mutunfacl nu sel sifacna.

23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

A funu keik, LEUM GOD Elan tia lela tuh nga in oru ma koluk lainul ke nga ac tia sifil pre keiwos. Nga fah luti kowos ma wo ac ma suwohs kowos in oru.

24 Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things He hath done for you.

Kowos in akos LEUM GOD ac oaru in kulansupal ke insiowos nufon. Esam orekma yohk nukewa El oru nu suwos.

25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be swept away, both ye and your king.'

A kowos fin sifilpa oru ma koluk, na kowos oayapa tokosra lowos an ac fah kunausyukla.”
