1 Samuel 12

1 And he said Samuel to all Israel here! I have listened to voice your to all that you have said to me and I have made king over you a king.

And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all things that ye have said to me, and I have set a king over you.

2 And now here! the king - [is] walking about before you and I I am old and I am gray haired and sons my here they [are] with you and I I have walked about before you since youth my until the day this.

And now, behold, the king goes before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons [are] among you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to this day.

3 Here [am] I testify against me before Yahweh and before anointed his [the] ox of - whom? have I taken and [the] donkey of whom? have I taken and whom? have I oppressed whom? have I crushed and from [the] hand of whom? have I taken a ransom so I may hide eyes my by it so I may restore [it] to you.

Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even [to] a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.

4 And they said not you have oppressed us and not you have crushed us and not you have taken from [the] hand of anyone anything.

And they said to Samuel, Thou hast not injured us, and thou hast not oppressed us; and thou hast not afflicted us, and thou hast not taken anything from any one's hand.

5 And he said to them [is] a witness Yahweh on you and [is] a witness anointed his the day this that not you have found in hand my anything and someone said [he is] a witness.

And Samuel said to the people, The Lord [is] witness among you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found anything in my hand: and they said, [He is] witness.

6 And he said Samuel to the people Yahweh who he appointed Moses and Aaron and who he brought up ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt.

And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron [is] witness, who brought our fathers up out of Egypt.

7 And therefore present yourselves so let me enter into judgment with you before Yahweh all [the] righteousness of Yahweh which he did with you and with ancestors your.

And now stand still, and I will judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness of the Lord, the things which he has wrought among you and your fathers.

8 Just when he went Jacob Egypt and they cried out ancestors your to Yahweh and he sent Yahweh Moses and Aaron and they brought out ancestors your from Egypt and they caused to dwell them in the place this.

When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he made them to dwell in this place.

9 And they forgot Yahweh God their and he sold them in [the] hand of Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Hazor and in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand of [the] king of Moab and they fought against them.

And they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.

10 And they cried out to Yahweh (and they said *Q(K)*) we have sinned for we have forsaken Yahweh and we have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth and now deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our so we may serve you.

And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11 And he sent Yahweh Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and he delivered you from [the] hand of enemies your from round about and you dwelt security.

And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac, and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies round about, and ye dwelt in security.

12 And you saw that Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon [was] coming on you and you said to me In-deed a king he will reign over us and Yahweh God your [was] king your.

And ye saw that Naas king of the children of Ammon came against you, and ye said, Nay, none but a king shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God [is] our king.

13 And now here! the king whom you have chosen whom you asked for and here! he has set Yahweh over you a king.

And now behold the king whom ye have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.

14 If you will fear Yahweh and you will serve him and you will listen to voice his and not you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you will be both you as well as the king who he has become king over you after Yahweh God your.

If ye should fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [well].

15 And if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and it will be [the] hand of Yahweh on you and on ancestors your.

But if ye should not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.

16 Also now stand and see the thing great this which Yahweh [is] about to do to eyes your.

And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.

17 ¿ Not [is] [the] harvest of wheat this day I will call out to Yahweh so he may give thunder claps and rain and know and see that evil your [is] great which you have done in [the] eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.

[Is it] not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know ye and see, that your wickedness [is] great which ye have wrought before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.

18 And he called out Samuel to Yahweh and he gave Yahweh thunder claps and rain on the day that and it feared all the people exceedingly Yahweh and Samuel.

And Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.

19 And they said all the people to Samuel pray for servants your to Yahweh God your and may not we die for we have added to all sins our an evil thing by asking for ourselves a king.

And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.

20 And he said Samuel to the people may not you be afraid you you have done all the evil this nevertheless may not you turn aside from after Yahweh and you will serve Yahweh with all heart your.

And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have [indeed] wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.

21 And not you must turn aside for - after emptiness which not they will benefit and not they will rescue for [are] emptiness they.

And turn not aside after the [gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver [you], because they are nothing.

22 For not he will abandon Yahweh people his for sake of name his great for he was determined Yahweh to make you for himself into a people.

For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.

23 Also I far be it to me from sinning to Yahweh from ceasing to pray for you and I will teach you [the] way of the good and the upright.

And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord, and shew you the good and the right way.

24 Only - fear Yahweh and you will serve him in faithfulness with all heart your for consider this: he has done great things with you.

Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for ye see what great things he has wrought with you.

25 And if still you will do evil both you as well as king your you will be swept away.

But if ye continue to do evil, then shall ye and your king be consumed.
