1 Samuel 8

1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.

And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.

2 And the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiyah: they judged in Beer-sheba'.

And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges in Beer Sheba.

3 But his sons walked not in his ways, and they inclined after their own advantage, and took bribes, and perverted justice.

And not they walked sons his (in ways his *Q(K)*) and they turned aside after unjust gain and they took a bribe and they turned aside justice.

4 Then did all the elders of Israel assemble themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.

5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons have not walked in thy ways: now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.

And they said to him here! you you have become old and sons your not they have walked in ways your now appoint! for us a king to judge us like all the nations.

6 But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

And it was displeasing the matter in [the] eyes of Samuel just when they said give! to us a king to judge us and he prayed Samuel to Yahweh.

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they may say unto thee; for not thee have they rejected, but me have they rejected, that I should not reign over them.

And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to [the] voice of the people to all what they will say to you for not you they have rejected for me they have rejected from reigning over them.

8 In accordance with all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even until this day, when they forsook me, and served other gods: so do they also unto thee.

According to all the deeds which they have done from [the] day brought up I them from Egypt and until the day this and they have forsaken me and they have served gods other so they [are] doing also to you.

9 And now hearken unto their voice: nevertheless thou must still solemnly forewarn them, and tell them the manner of the king that will reign over them.

And now listen to voice their nevertheless for certainly you will warn them and you will tell to them [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over them.

10 And Samuel said all the words of the Lord unto the people that had asked of him a king.

And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.

11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that will reign over you: Your sons will he take, and appoint them for himself with his chariots, and among his horsemen; and they will have to run before his chariot;

And he said this it will be [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over you sons your he will take and he will appoint [them] for himself in chariot[s] his and among horsemen his and they will run before chariot his.

12 And to appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and to plough his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.

And to appoint [them] for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and to plow plowing his and to harvest harvest his and to make [the] weapons of warfare his and [the] equipment of chariotry his.

13 And your daughters will he take for ointment makers, and for cooks, and for bakers.

And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.

14 And your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, yea the best, will he take, and give them to his servants.

And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.

15 And of your seeds, and of your vineyards will he take the tenth, and give [the same] to his officers, and to his servants.

And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.

16 And your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your best young men, and your asses will he take, and employ [them] for his work.

And [male] servants your and female servants your and young men your good and donkeys your he will take and he will use [them] for work his.

17 Of your flocks will he take the tenth: and ye yourselves will become his servants.

Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.

18 And ye will cry out on that day because of your king whom ye will have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you on that day.

And you will cry out in the day that because of king your whom you have chosen for yourselves and not he will answer Yahweh you in the day that.

19 Nevertheless the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but a king shall be over us;

And they refused the people to listen to [the] voice of Samuel and they said No! for except a king he will be over us.

20 That we also may ourselves be like all the nations: and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

And we will be also we like all the nations and he will judge us king our and he will go out before us and he will fight battles our.

21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them before the ears of the Lord.

And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.

22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.

And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to voice their and you will make king for them a king and he said Samuel to [the] people of Israel go each man to own city his.
