1 Samuel 8
1 It happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
जब शमूएल वृद्ध भए, तिनले आफ्ना दुई छोरालाई इस्राएलका न्यायकर्ताहरू बनाए ।
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba.
तिनको जेठा छोराको नाउँ योएल थियो र महिलोको नाउँ अबिया थियो । तिनीहरू बेर्शेबामा न्यायकर्ताहरू थिए ।
3 His sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside toward dishonest gain, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
तिनका छोराहरू तिनका मार्गहरूमा हिंडेनन्, तर बेइमानपूर्ण लाभको पछि लागे । तिनीहरूले घूस लिए र न्यायलाई भ्रष्ट बनाए ।
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;
त्यसपछि इस्राएलका सारा धर्म-गुरुहरू भेला भए र रामामा शमूएलकहाँ आए ।
5 and they said to him, "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
उनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं वृद्ध हुनुभयो, र तपाईंका छोराहरू तपाईंका मर्गहरूमा हिंड्दैनन् । सबै जातिझैं हाम्रो न्याय गर्न हाम्रा निम्ति एक जना राजा नियुक्त गर्नुहोस् ।”
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." Samuel prayed to YHWH.
तर त्यसले शमूएललाई दुःख लाग्यो, जब तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रो न्याय गर्न हामीलाई एक जना राजा दिनुहोस् ।” त्यसैले शमूएलले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे ।
7 YHWH said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.
परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूले तँलाई भनेका तिनीहरूका सबै कुरा पालन गर् । किनकि तिनीहरूले तँलाई इन्कार गरेका होइनन्, तर तिनीहरूमाथि राजा हुनबाट तिनीहरूले मलाई इन्कार गरेका छन् ।
8 According to all the works which they have done to me since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to you.
तिनीहरूले मलाई त्यागेका र अरू देवताहरूको सेवा गरेर मैले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याएदेखि गरेजस्तै तिनीहरूले गरिरहेका छन्, र त्यसैले तिनीहरूले तँलाई पनि त्यसै गर्दैछन् ।
9 Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who shall reign over them."
अब तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन । तर तिनीहरूलाई गम्भीरपूर्वक चेताउनी दे र राजाले जसरी तिनीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछन्, त्यो तिनीहरूले राम्ररी जानून् ।”
10 Samuel told all the words of YHWH to the people who asked of him a king.
त्यसैले शमूएलले राजाको माग गरिरहेका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुका सबै वचन सुनाए ।
11 He said, "This will be the way of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them to him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots.
तिनले भने, “तिमीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्ने राजाको प्रचलन यस्तो हुनेछ । उनले तिमीहरूका छोराहरूलाई लानेछन् र आफ्ना रथहरूका निम्ति र घोडचढी हुनलाई र आफ्ना रथहरूको अगि-अगि दौडनलाई उनले तिनीहरूलाई नियुक्त गर्ने छन् ।
12 And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands, and commanders of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and to make his implements of war, and the equipment of his chariots.
उनले आफ्नो निम्ति हजारका कप्तानहरू र पचासका कप्तानहरू नियुक्त गर्नेछन् । कसैलाई आफ्नो जमिन जोत्न, कसैलाई आफ्नो अन्न कटानी गर्न र कसैलाई आफ्नो युद्धको हतियारहरू अनि आफ्ना रथहरूको सरसामान बनाउन लगाउनेछन् ।
13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
उनले तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई अत्तर बनाउने, खाना बनाउने र रोटी बनाउने हुनलाई लिनेछन् ।
14 He will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive groves, even their best, and give them to his servants.
उनले तिमीहरूका उत्तम खेतहरू, दाखबारीहरू र जैतूनका बगैंचाहरू लिनेछन् र ती आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दिनेछन् ।
15 He will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
उनले तिमीहरूका अन्नको र दाखबारीहरूको दशौं भाग लिनेछन् र आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू र आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दिनेछन् ।
16 He will take your male servants, and your female servants, and your best cattle, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
उनले तिमीहरूका सेवक-सेविकाहरू, र तिमीहरूका उत्तम जवान पुरुषहरू तथा तिमीहरूका गधाहरू लिनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैलाई उनले आफ्नो काममा लगाउनेछन् ।
17 He will take the tenth of your flocks: and you shall be his servants.
उनले तिमीहरूका बगालहरूको दशौं भाग लिनेछन्, र तिमीहरू उनका दासहरू हुनेछौ ।
18 You shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you shall have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH will not answer you in that day."
त्यसपछि त्यो दिन आफ्नो निम्ति छानेका तिमीहरूका राजाको कारणले तिमीहरूले पुकारा गर्नेछौ । तर परमप्रभुले त्यो दिनमा तिमीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुहुनेछैन ।”
19 But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, "No; but we will have a king over us,
तर मानिसहरूले शमूएलको कुरा सुन्न इन्कार गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “होइन, हामीमाथि एक जना राजा हुनैपर्छ ।
20 that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."
ताकि हामी अरू जातिहरूजस्तै हुन सक्नेछौं, अनि यसरी हाम्रा राजाले हाम्रो न्याय गर्नेछन् र हाम्रो निम्ति युद्ध गर्न हाम्रो अगि-अगि जानेछन् ।”
21 Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the hearing of YHWH.
जब शमूएलले मानिसहरूको सबै कुरा सुने, तब तिनले ती परमप्रभुले सुन्ने गरी दोहोर्याए ।
22 YHWH said to Samuel, "Listen to their voice, and make them a king." Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."
परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूका कुरा पालन गर् र कसैलाई तिनीहरूका राजा बना ।” त्यसैले शमूएलले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “हरेक मानिस आ-आफ्नो सहर जानुपर्छ ।”
