1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.
Ary rehefa antitra Samoela, dia ny zanany no nataony mpitsara ny Isiraely.
2 And the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiyah: they judged in Beer-sheba'.
Ary Joela no anaran’ ny lahimatoany, ary Abia no anaran’ ny faralahiny; mpitsara tany Beri-sheba izy ireo.
3 But his sons walked not in his ways, and they inclined after their own advantage, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
Nefa ny zanany tsy nanaraka ny dian-drainy, fa nivily nitady vola aman-karena ka nandray kolikoly sy nanao fitsarana miangatra.
4 Then did all the elders of Israel assemble themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
Ary ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra nivory tao Rama ho any amin’ i Samoela
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.
ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, efa antitra ianao, ary ny zanakao tsy manaraka ny dianao; koa manendre mpanjaka ho anay hitsara anay, tahaka ny firenena rehetra.
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.
Fa tsy sitrak’ i Samoela ny nanaovan’ ny olona hoe: Omeo mpanjaka izahay hitsara anay. Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Samoela.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Henoy ihany ny tenin’ ny olona amin’ izany rehetra lazainy aminao; fa tsy ianao no laviny, fa Izaho no laviny tsy hanjaka aminy.
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.
Araka ny asa rehetra izay nataony hatramin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany Egypta ka mandraka androany, dia ny nahafoizany Ahy sy ny nanompoany andriamani-kafa, dia toy izany koa no ataony aminao.
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.
Ary ankehitriny henoy ihany ny teniny, kanefa lazao aminy marimarina, ka asehoy azy ny ho fanaon’ ny mpanjaka izay hanjaka aminy.
10 And Samuel said all the words of the Lord unto the people that had asked of him a king.
Dia nambaran’ i Samoela tamin’ ny olona izay nangataka mpanjaka taminy ny teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah.
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;
Ary hoy izy: Izao no ho fanaon’ ny mpanjaka izay hanjaka aminareo: Ny zanakareo-lahy dia halainy ka hotendreny ho amin’ ny kalesiny sy ho mpitaingin-tsoavaliny ary hihazakazaka eo alohan’ ny kalesiny,
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.
ary hotendreny ho mpifehy arivo sy ho mpifehy dimam-polo, ary hiasa ny taniny sy hijinja ny vokany ary hanao ny fiadiany sy ny fanaka momba ny kalesiny;
13 And your daughters will he take for ointment makers, and for cooks, and for bakers.
ary ny zanakareo-vavy dia halainy ho mpangaroharo zava-manitra ary ho mpahandro sy mpanao mofo;
14 And your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, yea the best, will he take, and give them to his servants.
ary ny tsara indrindra amin’ ny sahanareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo sy ny tanin’ olivanareo dia halainy ka homeny ho an’ ny mpanompony;
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.
ary ny ampahafolon’ ny voan-javatrareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo dia halainy ka homeny ho an’ ny tandapany sy ny tandonany.
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.
Ary ny ankizilahinareo sy ny ankizivavinareo sy ny zatovonareo tsara indrindra ary ny borikinareo dia halainy ka hampanaoviny ny asany.
17 Of your flocks will he take the tenth: and ye yourselves will become his servants.
Ary halainy koa ny ampahafolon’ ny ondry aman’ osinareo; ary ny tenanareo ho tonga mpanompony.
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.
Ary hitaraina amin’ izany andro izany ianareo noho ny mpanjakanareo izay nofidinareo ho anareo, fa Jehovah tsy hamaly anareo amin’ izany andro izany.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but a king shall be over us;
Kanefa tsy nety nihaino ny tenin’ i Samoela ny olona, fa hoy izy: Tsia, fa aoka ihany hisy mpanjaka hanjaka aminay,
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.
mba ho tahaka ny firenena rehetra koa izahay, ka ny mpanjakanay hitsara anay sy hivoaka eo alohanay ary hitarika ny adinay.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them before the ears of the Lord.
Ary ren’ i Samoela ny teny rehetra nolazain’ ny olona, ka dia nolazainy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah kosa.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Henoy ny teniny ka manendre mpanjaka ho azy. Dia hoy Samoela tamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely: Samia ary mandeha ho any amin’ ny tanànanareo avy ianareo rehetra.
