1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel said to all Israel, "Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
Hoe t’i Samoele tam’ Israele iaby: Nihaoñeko o fiarañanaña’ areoo amo nisaontsia’ areo iabio, vaho nanoako mpanjaka.
2 Now, look, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and look, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
Inao arè te mañavelo aolo’ areo i mpanjakay henane zao, izaho fa bey naho fotivolo; ingo, mpiama’ areo o ana-dahikoo, vaho fa nanjotik’ aolo’ areo iraho boak’ an-katorako am-para’ te henaneo.
3 Here I am. Testify against me before YHWH, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, or a shoe? Testify against me, and I will restore it to you."
Intoy iraho, miasìa ahy añatrefa’ Iehovà naho aolo’ i noriza’ey: vosi’ ia ty nalaeko? ndra borì’ ia ty rinambeko? ia ty nikatramoeko? ia ty finorekekeko? am-pità’ ia ty nitavanako vokàñe hampikipe o masokoo? le havahako ama’ areo.
4 They said, "You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand."
Le hoe iereo: Tsy nikatramo anay irehe, tsy niforekeke’o, tsy rinambe’o ty am-pità’ ondaty.
5 He said to them, "YHWH is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." They said, "He is witness."
Le hoe re ama’e: Valolombeloñ’ ama’ areo t’Iehovà, valolombelon-ka i norizañ’ anianikey te tsy nahaonin-draha an-tañako nahareo. Le hoe iereo, Ie ty valolombeloñe.
6 Samuel said to the people, "It is YHWH who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of Egypt.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ondatio: Iehovà ty nanendre i Mosè naho i Aharone, naho nañakatse an-droae’ areo an-tane Mitsraime añe.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before YHWH concerning all the righteous acts of YHWH, which he did to you and to your fathers.
Aa le mihendrea, fa miveroke ama’ areo iaby añatrefa’ Iehovà o fitoloñañe vanta’ Iehovà nanoe’e ama’ areo naho aman-droae’ areoo.
8 "When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them, and your fathers cried to YHWH, then YHWH sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.
Naho nivotrak’ e Mitsraime ao t’Iakobe, le nitoreo amy Iehovà o roae’ areoo, vaho nirahe’ Iehovà t’i Mosè naho i Aharone; ie ty nañavotse o roae’ areoo boak’ e Mitsraime añe, naho nampimoneña’e an-tane atoy.
9 "But they forgot YHWH their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
Fe nihaliño’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho natolo’e am-pità’ i Sisere, mpifehe ty valobohò’ i Katsore, naho am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio naho am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey, le nialia’ iareo.
10 And they cried to YHWH, and they said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.'
Aa le nikoiak’ am’ Iehovà iereo ami’ty hoe: Manan-tahin-jahay, fa naforintse’ay t’Iehovà, naho nitoroñe o Baaleo naho o Asteroteo; fe avotsoro am-pità’ o rafelahi’aio le hitoroña’ay.
11 YHWH sent Jerubbaal, and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà t’Ierobaale, naho i Bedane, naho Ieptà, naho i Samoele naho rinomba’ iereo am-pitàn-drafelahi’ areo mb’etia mb’eroa, vaho nimoneñe am-panintsiñañe nahareo.
12 "When you saw that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us;' when YHWH your God was your king.
Aa ie nizoe’ areo te naname anahareo t’i Nakase mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneo le nanao ty hoe amako: Aiy, fa mpanjaka ty hifehe anay, ie ni-Mpanjaka’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and look, YHWH has set a king over you.
Aa ie henanekeo isaho o mpanjaka jinobo’ areoo, i nihalalie’ areoy le oniño te nampijadoñe mpanjaka hamehe anahareo t’Iehovà.
14 If you will fear YHWH, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of YHWH, and both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of YHWH your God, then he will rescue you.
Aa naho añeveña’ areo t’Iehovà, naho mitoroñe aze naho mañaoñe i fiarañanaña’ey naho tsy miola amo lili’ Iehovào, vaho songa mañorike Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho i mpanjaka mifehe anahareoy—
15 But if you will not listen to the voice of YHWH, but rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then the hand of YHWH will be against you, and against your king to destroy you.
aa hera tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà naho miola amo lili’ Iehovào le hatreatré’ ty fità’ Iehovà manahake ty niatrefa’e an-droae’ areo.
16 "Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which YHWH will do before your eyes.
Ie amy zao, mijohaña eo vaho mahaisaha ty raha jabajaba hanoe’ Iehovà añatrefam-pihaino’ areo.
17 Isn't it wheat harvest today? I will call to YHWH, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of YHWH, in asking for a king."
Tsy anito hao ty fitataham-bare-bolè? Hikanjy Iehovà iraho, hañitrifa’e àmpiñe miharo orañe; hahafohina’ areo naho hahaisaha’ areo te ra’elahy ty haloloañe nanoe’ areo am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà amy nihalalia’ areo mpanjakay.
18 So Samuel called to YHWH; and YHWH sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared YHWH and Samuel.
Aa le kinanji’ i Samoele t’Iehovà; vaho nañiraha’ Iehovà hotroke naho orañe amy andro zay; le nirevendreveñe am’ Iehovà naho i Samoele ondatio,
19 All the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to YHWH your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king."
vaho hoe ondaty iabio amy Samoele: Mihalalia am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho a o mpitoro’oo, tsy hivetrake; fa nitovoña’ay amo hakeo’ay iabio ty hatsivokarañe toy, t’ie nipay mpanjaka.
20 Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following YHWH, but serve YHWH with all your heart.
Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ ondatio: Ko hembañe; Toe nanoe’ areo i haratiañe zay, fe ko mivìke tsy hañorike Iehovà vaho toroño an-kaliforan’ arofo t’Iehovà;
21 Do not turn aside to go after vain things which can't profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
le ko mitsile hitoha raha kafoake tsy mahasoa tsy maharombake, amy t’ie kòake.
22 For YHWH will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased YHWH to make you a people to himself.
Toe tsy haforintse’ Iehovà ondati’eo ty amy tahina’e ra’elahiy; amy te mahafale Iehovà t’ie hanoe’e ondati’e.
23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against YHWH in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
Aa naho Izaho, ee te ho lavitse ahy ty hanao hakeo am’ Iehovà fa tsy hadòko ty hihalaly ho anahareo vaho mboe hañòhako ty sata-soa naho vantañe.
24 Only fear YHWH, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
Ie amy zao mañeveña am’ Iehovà naho toroño an-katò naho an-kaliforañ’ arofo le tsakoreo o fitoloñañe jabajaba nanoa’e.
25 But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."
F’ie mbe hanao haloloañe le ho faohe’e añe reke-panjaka.
