1 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he makes his sons judges over Israel.
A kad Samuilo ostarje, postavi sinove svoje za sudije Izrailju.
2 And the name of his firstborn son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
A ime sinu njegovu prvencu bješe Joilo, a drugomu Avija, i suðahu u Virsaveji.
3 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
Ali sinovi njegovi ne hoðahu putovima njegovijem, nego udariše za dobitkom, i primahu poklone i izvrtahu pravdu.
4 And all [the] elderly of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Samuel at Ramath,
Tada se skupiše sve starješine Izrailjeve i doðoše k Samuilu u Ramu.
5 and say to him, “Behold, you have become aged, and your sons have not walked in your ways; now, appoint a king to us, to judge us, like all the nations.”
I rekoše mu: eto, ti si ostario, a sinovi tvoji ne hode tvojim putovima: zato postavi nam cara da nam sudi, kao što je u svijeh naroda.
6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel when they have said, “Give a king to us, to judge us”; and Samuel prays to YHWH.
Ali Samuilu ne bi po volji što rekoše: daj nam cara da nam sudi. I Samuilo se pomoli Gospodu.
7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from reigning over them.
A Gospod reèe Samuilu: poslušaj glas narodni u svemu što ti govore; jer ne odbaciše tebe, nego mene odbaciše da ne carujem nad njima.
8 According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even to this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods—so they are also doing to you.
Kako èiniše od onoga dana kad ih izvedoh iz Misira do danas, i ostaviše me i služiše drugim bogovima, po svijem tijem djelima èine i tebi.
9 And now, listen to their voice; only, surely you certainly protest to them, and have declared to them the custom of the king who reigns over them.”
Zato sada poslušaj glas njihov; ali im dobro zasvjedoèi i kaži naèin kojim æe car carovati nad njima.
10 And Samuel speaks all the words of YHWH to the people who are asking [for] a king from him,
I kaza Samuilo sve rijeèi Gospodnje narodu koji iskaše od njega cara;
11 and says, “This is the custom of the king who reigns over you: he takes your sons, and has appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
I reèe: ovo æe biti naèin kojim æe car carovati nad vama: sinove vaše uzimaæe i metati ih na kola svoja i meðu konjike svoje, i oni æe trèati pred kolima njegovijem;
12 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
I postaviæe ih da su mu tisuænici i pedesetnici, i da mu oru njive i žnju ljetinu, i da mu grade ratne sprave i što treba za kola njegova.
13 And he takes your daughters for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
Uzimaæe i kæeri vaše da mu grade mirisne masti i da mu budu kuharice i hljebarice.
14 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards—he takes the best, and has given to his servants.
I njive vaše i vinograde vaše i maslinike vaše najbolje uzimaæe i razdavati slugama svojim.
15 And he tithes your seed and your vineyards, and has given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Uzimaæe desetak od usjeva vaših i od vinograda vaših, i davaæe dvoranima svojim i slugama svojim.
16 And your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and your donkeys, he takes, and has prepared for his own work;
I sluge vaše i sluškinje vaše i mladiæe vaše najljepše i magarce vaše uzimaæe, i obrtati na svoje poslove.
17 he tithes your flock, and you are for servants to him.
Stada æe vaša desetkovati i vi æete mu biti robovi.
18 And you have cried out in that day because of the king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH does not answer you in that day.”
Pa æete onda vikati radi cara svojega, kojega izabraste sebi; ali vas Gospod neæe onda uslišiti.
19 And the people refuse to listen to the voice of Samuel, and say, “No, but a king is over us,
Ali narod ne htje poslušati rijeèi Samuilovijeh, i rekoše: ne, nego car neka bude nad nama,
20 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king has judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.”
Da budemo i mi kao svi narodi; i neka nam sudi car naš i ide pred nama i vodi naše ratove.
21 And Samuel hears all the words of the people, and speaks them in the ears of YHWH;
A Samuilo èuvši sve rijeèi narodne, kaza ih Gospodu.
22 and YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and you have caused a king to reign over them.” And Samuel says to the men of Israel, “Go, each man, to his city.”
A Gospod reèe Samuilu: poslušaj glas njihov, i postavi im cara. I Samuilo reèe Izrailjcima: idite svaki u svoj grad.
