1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Samuel a matawng toung dawkvah a capanaw hah Isarelnaw lawkcengkung lah ao sak.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer–sheba.
A capa camin e min teh Joel doeh. Apa hni e a capa teh Abijah Beersheba kho dawk lawkceng bawi lah ao.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Hateiteh a capanaw ni a lamthung patetlah dawn awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh tangka e hnuk a kâbang awh teh lam a phen awh. Tadawnghno a ca awh teh lawkngai awh hoeh.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw a kamkhueng awh teh Ramah kho vah kaawm e Samuel koe a cei awh.
5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
Ahni koe na matawng poung toe. Na capanaw ni hai na lamthung dawn awh hoeh toe. Jentelnaw patetlah kaimae lathueng siangpahrang na poe leih telah a dei awh.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto Yhwh.
Kaimanaw lawkkaceng hane siangpahrang na poe leih atipouh e ni Samuel a lunghawi sak hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
7 And Yhwh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
Hattoteh BAWIPA ni Samuel koe taminaw ni nang koe a dei e lawk thai pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hah na pahnawt awh hoeh. Kai hai ahnimanaw ukkung lah o hoeh nahan kai doeh na pahnawt awh toe.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai hnin hoi sahnin totouh, kai na pahnawt awh teh alouke cathutnaw hah a bawk awh toe. Kaie lathueng a tawksak awh e patetlah nange lathueng hai a sak awh toe.
9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimae lawkngai pouh haw. Hatei kâhruetcuetnae poe nateh ahnimanaw ka uk e siangpahrang e nuencang hah hmawt sak loe telah atipouh.
10 And Samuel told all the words of Yhwh unto the people that asked of him a king.
Samuel ni BAWIPA e a lawknaw hah, siangpahrang kahetnaw koe bout a dei pouh.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
Nangmae lathueng kaukkung hane siangpahrang o ang teh, het hah doeh. Na capanaw a la vaiteh, amae leng, ranglengnaw, marangransanaw thaw na poe vaiteh, a tangawn hai ahnie rangleng hmalah a yawng awh han.
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
Ransa 1,000 touh kaukkung 50 touh kaukkung, ransabawi thaw a poe. Laikawk ka thawn hane hoi cang ka a hane hoi tarantuknae puengcang kasakkung hoi rangleng puengcang kasakkung lah lengkaleng thaw a poe awh han.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
Nangmae na canunaw hai a la vaiteh, hmuitui katawkkung, rawca ka khenyawnkung lah thoseh, vaiyei kathakkung lah thoseh, thaw a poe awh han.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
Nangmae lawnaw, misur takhanaw, Olive takhanaw hai a la vaiteh, a sannaw koe a poe awh han.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
Nangmae caticamu, a pawhik pung hra pung touh na la pouh vaiteh thaw katawknaw hoi kacuenaw koe a poe awh han.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
Nangmae na sannu sanpanaw, na thoundoun kahawi kahawinaw hoi lanaw a la vaiteh a thaw tawk awh nahanelah a hno awh han.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
Nangmae Tu pung hra pung touh a la vaiteh nangmouh teh ahnimae san lah na o awh han.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and Yhwh will not hear you in that day.
Na rawi awh e siangpahrang kecu dawk na khui na ka awh han. Hote hnin dawk na hram na ki awh eiteh, BAWIPA ni na thai pouh mahoeh telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
Hatei taminaw ni Samuel e lawk a ek awh teh, ahnimouh ni telah nahoeh. Kaimouh ka uk hane siangpahrang doeh ka ngai.
20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
Hattorei doeh kaimouh hai alouke ramnaw hoi kâvan awh han. Kamamouh e siangpahrang ni lawk na ceng pouh han. Ka miphun heh a hrawi vaiteh taran na tuk pouh han. Telah bout a dei awh.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Yhwh.
Samuel ni tamipueng e lawk a ngâi teh BAWIPA koe bout a dei pouh.
22 And Yhwh said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
BAWIPA ni Samuel koe ahnimae lawk tarawi haw, ahnimouh han siangpahrang rawi pouh haw telah ati. Samuel ni Isarelnaw koevah namamouh kho lengkaleng ban awh telah atipouh.
