1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Lo! I have hearkened unto your voice, in all that ye said to me, —and have set over you a king.
Hoe t’i Samoele tam’ Israele iaby: Nihaoñeko o fiarañanaña’ areoo amo nisaontsia’ areo iabio, vaho nanoako mpanjaka.
2 Now, therefore, lo! the king going to and fro before you, But, I, am old and grey-headed, and, my sons, lo! they are with you, —But, I, have gone to and fro before you from my youth until 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 Behold me! testify against me, before Yahweh, and before his Anointed—Whose, ox, have I taken? or whose, ass, have I taken? or whom have I oppressed? Whom have I crushed? or at whose, hands, have I taken a bribe, to cover up mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it unto 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 And they said, Thou hast not oppressed us, neither hast thou crushed us, —neither hast thou taken, at the hand of any man, any thing.
Le hoe iereo: Tsy nikatramo anay irehe, tsy niforekeke’o, tsy rinambe’o ty am-pità’ ondaty.
5 And he said unto them—Witness, is Yahweh against you, and, witness, is his Anointed, this day, that ye have not found in my hand, any thing! And they said: 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 And Samuel said unto the people: Witness, is Yahweh, who wrought with Moses and with Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the land 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, take your stand and let me plead with you, before Yahweh, —and tell you all the righteous acts of Yahweh, which he wrought with you, and with 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 How that, when Jacob had come into Egypt, —and your fathers had made outcry unto Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and he caused 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 And, when they forgat Yahweh their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, prince of the host of Jabin, king 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 But, when they made outcry unto Yahweh and said—We have sinned, in that we have forsaken Yahweh, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, —now, therefore, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve thee,
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 then Yahweh sent Jerubbaal and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, —and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies, on every side, and ye dwelt 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 But, when ye saw that, Nahash king of the sons of Ammon, came upon you, then said ye unto me, Nay! but, a king, shall reign over us, when, Yahweh 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, lo! the king whom ye have chosen, for whom ye have asked, —lo! therefore, Yahweh hath set over you a king.
Aa ie henanekeo isaho o mpanjaka jinobo’ areoo, i nihalalie’ areoy le oniño te nampijadoñe mpanjaka hamehe anahareo t’Iehovà.
14 If ye will revere Yahweh, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the bidding of Yahweh, then shall, both ye and your king that reigneth over you, continue to follow after Yahweh your God.
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 ye hearken not unto the voice of Yahweh, but rebel against the bidding of Yahweh, then will the hand of Yahweh continue to be against you, and against your fathers.
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 Even now, stand still and see this great thing, —which Yahweh is about to do before your eyes:
Ie amy zao, mijohaña eo vaho mahaisaha ty raha jabajaba hanoe’ Iehovà añatrefam-pihaino’ areo.
17 Is it not wheat harvest, to-day? I will cry unto Yahweh, that he may give forth thunderings and rain, —know ye then and see, that, your wrong, is great which ye have done in the sight of Yahweh, in asking for yourselves, 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 cried unto Yahweh, and Yahweh gave forth thunderings and rain, on that day, —and all the people greatly feared Yahweh, 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 And all the people said unto Samuel—Pray for thy servants, unto Yahweh thy God, and let it not be that we die, —For we have added, to all our sins, a wrong, in asking for ourselves 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 Then said Samuel unto the people—Do not fear, ye, have done all this wrong, —nevertheless, do not turn aside from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh, 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 and turn not aside after vanities, that can neither profit nor deliver, because, vanities, they are.
le ko mitsile hitoha raha kafoake tsy mahasoa tsy maharombake, amy t’ie kòake.
22 For Yahweh will not give up his people, because of his great name, for Yahweh was minded to make you his people.
Toe tsy haforintse’ Iehovà ondati’eo ty amy tahina’e ra’elahiy; amy te mahafale Iehovà t’ie hanoe’e ondati’e.
23 As for me also, far be it from me, that I should sin against Yahweh, by ceasing to pray for you, —but I will direct you, in the good and 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, revere Yahweh, and serve him in truth, with all your heart, —for see, what great things he hath done with 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 ye, will do wrong, both ye and your king shall be swept away.
F’ie mbe hanao haloloañe le ho faohe’e añe reke-panjaka.
