Kings I 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Saamuʼeel yeroo dulloometti ilmaan isaa abbootii murtii godhee Israaʼeliif muude.
2 And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
Maqaan ilma isaa hangaftichaa Yooʼeel, kan isa lammaffaa immoo Abiyaa jedhama; isaanis Bersheebaa keessatti abbootii murtii turan.
3 And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.
Ilmaan isaa garuu fakkeenya abbaa isaanii duukaa hin buune. Buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii mattaʼaa fudhatan; murtiis jalʼisan.
4 And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
Kanaafuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel wal gaʼanii Saamuʼeel bira gara Raamaa dhufan;
5 and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
isaanis, “Ati dulloomteerta; ilmaan kee immoo fakkeenya kee duukaa hin buune; akkuma saboonni kaan hundi mootii qaban sana mootii nu bulchu nuu muudi” jedhaniin.
6 And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Garuu, “Mootii nu bulchu nuuf muudi” jechuun isaanii waan Saamuʼeelin hin gammachiisiniif inni Waaqayyoon kadhate.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Waan sabni sun siin jedhu hunda dhagaʼi; isaan akka ani mootii isaanii hin taaneef na tuffatan malee si hin tuffanne.
8 According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
Isaan waanuma gaafa ani Gibxii isaan baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti na dhiisanii waaqota gara biraa tajaajiluudhaan natti hojjetan sana sittis hojjechaa jiru.
9 And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
Egaa amma waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼi; garuu sirriitti isaan akeekkachiisiitii haala mootii isaan irratti mooʼu sanaa isaanitti himi.”
10 And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
Saamuʼeelis dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda namoota akka mootiin isaaniif moosifamuuf gaafatan sanatti hime.
11 And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and among his horsemen, and running before his chariots,
Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Wanni mootiin isin irratti mooʼu sun godhu kana: Inni ilmaan keessan fudhatee akka isaan gaariiwwan isaa irra tajaajilan godha; abbootii fardaas isaan godhata; isaanis gaariiwwan isaa dura fiigu.
12 and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.
Gariin isaanii ajajjuuwwan kumaa, gariin isaanii immoo ajajjuuwwan shantamaa, kaan immoo akka isaan lafa isaa qotanii midhaan isaa walitti qaban godha; warra hafanis akka isaan miʼa lolaatii fi miʼa gaariiwwan isaa hojjetan godha.
13 And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
Intallan keessan fudhatee qopheessitoota dibata urgaaʼaa, qopheessitoota ittoo fi tolchitoota buddeenaa godhata.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
Lafa qotiisaa keessan isa filatamaa, iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi iddoo itti ejersa cuunfan isin irraa fudhatee hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
15 And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Midhaanii fi ija wayinii keessanii harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko fuudhee qondaaltota isaatii fi hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
16 And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
Garboota dhiiraatii fi garboota dubartii, horii gagaarii fi harroota keessan fudhatee hojii ofii irratti bobbaafata.
17 And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
Bushaayee keessan keessaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko ni fudhata; isin mataan keessanuu garboota isaa taatu.
18 And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
Gaafas isin mootii keessan isa ofii keessaniif filattan sana jalaa furamuuf ni iyyitu; garuu guyyaa sana Waaqayyo deebii isinii hin kennu.”
19 But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
Namoonni sun garuu Saamuʼeelin dhagaʼuu didanii akkana jedhan; “Hin taʼu! Nu mootii nu bulchu feena.
20 An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.
Ergasiis akkuma saboota kaanii taana; mootiin keenyas nu hooggana; nu dura baʼees lola keenya nuu lola.”
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
Saamuʼeel yeroo waan namoonni sun jedhan hunda dhagaʼetti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waanuma sana deebisee dubbate.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin, “Waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼiitii mootii moosisiif” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan magaalaa keessanitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
