1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges to Israel;
A ELEMAKULE o Samuela, hoolilo aku la ia i kana mau keiki i mau lunakanawai no ka Iseraela.
2 and the name of his firstborn son was, Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah, —they were judges in Beer-sheba.
A o Ioela ka inoa o kana keiki mua, a o Abia ka inoa o ka lua o kana keiki: he mau lunakanawai laua ma Beereseba.
3 Howbeit his sons walked not in his ways, but stooped to extortion, —and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Aka, aole i hele kana mau keiki ma kona aoao; huli ae la laua mamuli o ka waiwai alunu, a lawe laua i ke kipe, a hookahuli i ka pono.
4 So then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, —and came unto Samuel, to Ramah;
Alaila hoakoakoaia'e la na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, a hele mai io Samuela la ma Rama,
5 and said unto him—Lo! thou, art old, and, thy sons, walk not in thy ways: Now, appoint for us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
I mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua elemakule oe, aole i hele kau mau keiki ma kou aoao: ano e hoonoho oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono e like me na lahuikanaka a pau.
6 But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give unto us a king to judge us. So Samuel prayed unto Yahweh.
Ua hewa ia mea i ka manao o Samuela, i ka lakou i olelo mai ai, E haawi oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono. A pule aku la o Samuela ia Iehova.
7 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they shall say unto thee, —for, not thee, have they rejected, but, me, have they rejected, from being king over them.
I mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ka leo o na kanaka i na mea a pau a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe: no ka mea, aole lakou i hoowahawaha ia oe, aka, ua hoowahawaha mai lakou ia'u, i alii ole ai au maluna o lakou.
8 According to all the doings which they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even until this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so, are they doing even unto thee.
E like me na hana a pau a lakou i hana'i, mai ka manawa a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai Aigupita mai, a hiki i keia manawa, ia lakou i haalele ai ia'u, a malama aku i na akua e; pela lakou e hana nei ia oe.
9 Now, therefore, hearken to their voice, —save that thou, enter protest, against them, and tell them the manner of the king who will reign over them.
Ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo; aka, e ao ikaika aku oe ia lakou, a e hoike aku hoi i ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o lakou.
10 So then Samuel spake all the words of Yahweh unto the people, who were asking of him, a king.
Hai aku la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a Iehova i na kanaka i noi ai ia ia i alii.
11 And he said, This, will be the manner of the king who will reign over you, —Your sons, will he take and appoint for himself, as his charioteers and as his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
Olelo aku la ia, Eia ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o oukou; E lawe no ia i na keikikane a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou nona ma na halekaa ona, a ma kona poe hoohololio, a e holo no kekahi mamua o na halekaa ona.
12 and he will appoint for himself, princes of thousands, and princes of fifties, —and to plough his fields, and to reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war, and the instruments of his chariots;
A e hoonoho no ia nona i na lunatausani a me na lunakanalima, a no ka mahi i kana mahi ana, a no ke oki ana i kana ai, a no ka hana ana i kana mea kaua, a me na mea o kona mau halekaa.
13 And, your daughters, will he take, —as perfumers and as cooks, and as bakers;
A e lawe no ia i na kaikamahine a oukou i mea hana i na mea ono, a i mea kuke, a i mea kahu ai.
14 And, your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best of them, will he take, and give to his servants;
A e lawe no ia i na mahinaai o oukou, a me ka oukou pawaina, a me ka oukou paoliva, i na mea maikai, a e haawi aku na kana poe kauwa.
15 And, your seed, and your vineyards, will he tithe, and give to his courtiers and to his servants;
A e lawe no ia i ka hapaumi o na hua a oukou, a o na pawaina, a e haawi aku na kona mau luna, me kana mau kauwa.
16 And, your men-servants, and your maidservants, and your oxen, even the goodliest, and your asses, will he take, —and put them to his work;
A e lawe no hoi ia i na kauwakane a oukou, a me na kauwawahine a oukou, a me ko oukou poe kanaka ui maikai, a me na hoki a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou no kana hana.
17 Your flocks, will he tithe, —and, ye yourselves, shall become his servants.
E lawe hoi ia i ka hapaumi o ka oukou poe hipa: a e lilo oukou i poe kauwa nana.
18 Then will ye make outcry, in that day, because of your king whom ye have chosen for yourselves, —and Yahweh will not answer you, in that day.
A e uwe nui oukou ia la, no ko oukou alii a oukou i koho ai no oukou; aole o Iehova e hoolohe mai ia oukou ia la.
19 But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel, —and they said—Nay! but, a king, shall be over us:
Aka, aole loa i hoolohe mai na kanaka i ka leo o Samuela: i mai la lakou, Aole, ua makemake no makou i alii maluna o makou,
20 so shall, even we, become like all the nations, —and our king shall judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our battles.
I like ai makou me na lahuikanaka e a pau; a i hooponopono ko makou alii ia makou, a e hele ia mamua o makou, a e kaua aku i ko makou kaua.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, —and spake them in the ears of Yahweh.
Hoolohe ae la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a na kanaka, a hai aku la ia mea i na pepeiao o Iehova.
22 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel: Go ye, every man to his own city.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo, a e hoonoho oe i alii no lakou. Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, E hoi oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kulanakauhale.
