1 Samuel 8
1 And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.
Samuel khaw patong la a om coeng dongah a ca rhoek te Israel ham lai aka tloek la a khueh.
2 And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges in Beer Sheba.
Te vaengah a ca cacuek ming tah Joel, a pabae ah Abijah te om tih Beersheba ah lai a tloek.
3 And not they walked sons his (in ways his *Q(K)*) and they turned aside after unjust gain and they took a bribe and they turned aside justice.
A ca rhoi te amah long, amah long ah a pongpa rhoi kolla mueluemnah hnukah phael tih kapbaih a loh rhoi dongah laitloeknah khaw a haeh sak rhoi.
4 And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.
Te dongah Israel kah a hamca rhoek tah boeih coi uh thae tih Ramah kah Samuel te a paan uh.
5 And they said to him here! you you have become old and sons your not they have walked in ways your now appoint! for us a king to judge us like all the nations.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Na patong coeng tih na ca rhoi te na longpuei ah a pongpa moenih ke, kaimih ham manghai khueh laeh, namtom cungkuem bangla kaimih lai aka tloek ham,” a ti nauh.
6 And it was displeasing the matter in [the] eyes of Samuel just when they said give! to us a king to judge us and he prayed Samuel to Yahweh.
Tedae ol te Samuel mik ah lolh coeng. “Kaimih lai aka tloek la kaimih taengah manghai m'pae,” a ti uh van neh Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
7 And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to [the] voice of the people to all what they will say to you for not you they have rejected for me they have rejected from reigning over them.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A cungkuem la pilnam ol te hnatun lah, nang taengah a cal uh te nang n'hnawt uh dongah moenih. Tedae kai he ni amih kah manghai lamloh n'hnawt uh.
8 According to all the deeds which they have done from [the] day brought up I them from Egypt and until the day this and they have forsaken me and they have served gods other so they [are] doing also to you.
Egypt lamkah amih ka caeh puei khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela tekah khoboe te boeih a saii uh. Kai he n'hnoo uh tih Pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho a thueng uh. Amih tangkhuet loh nang taengah khaw a saii uh.
9 And now listen to voice their nevertheless for certainly you will warn them and you will tell to them [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over them.
Te dongah amih ol te hnatun mai. Tedae amih te rhalrhing rhoe rhalrhing sak lamtah manghai kah laitloeknah te amih taengah thui pah. Anih te amih soah manghai bitni,” a ti nah.
10 And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.
Te dongah Samuel loh BOEIPA ol boeih te amah taeng lamloh manghai aka bih pilnam taengah a thui.
11 And he said this it will be [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over you sons your he will take and he will appoint [them] for himself in chariot[s] his and among horsemen his and they will run before chariot his.
Te vaengah, “Nangmih soah aka manghai ham manghai kah laitloeknah tah he tlam he om ni. Na ca rhoek te a loh vetih leng dongah amah ham tloep a khueh ni. A marhang caem yueng la leng hmai ah yong uh ni.
12 And to appoint [them] for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and to plow plowing his and to harvest harvest his and to make [the] weapons of warfare his and [the] equipment of chariotry his.
Te phoeiah a tawn te phoh pah ham, a cangah te aka ah pah ham, caemtloek hnopai neh leng dongkah hnopai aka saii ham te thawngkhat kah mangpa, sawmnga kah mangpa te a khueh ni.
13 And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.
Na tanu rhoek te khaw buhpoep la, buthongnu la, maehhai la a loh ni.
14 And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.
Na khohmuen neh na misur khaw, na olive then te a rhawt vetih a sal taengla a paek ni.
15 And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.
Na cangtii neh na misur te parha ah pakhat a loh vetih a imkhoem neh a sal taengla a paek ni.
16 And [male] servants your and female servants your and young men your good and donkeys your he will take and he will use [them] for work his.
Na salpa neh na sal huta khaw, na tongpang then neh na laak khaw a loh vetih amah bi te a saii sak ni.
17 Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.
Nangmih kah boiva te a loh vetih namamih te anih kah sal la na om uh ni.
18 And you will cry out in the day that because of king your whom you have chosen for yourselves and not he will answer Yahweh you in the day that.
Tekah khohnin ah namamih ham na tuek uh na manghai kongah na pang uh cakhaw amah khohnin ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'doo van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
19 And they refused the people to listen to [the] voice of Samuel and they said No! for except a king he will be over us.
Tedae Samuel ol te hnatun ham pilnam loh a aal uh tih, “Moenih, manghai pakhat tah kaimih soah om saeh.
20 And we will be also we like all the nations and he will judge us king our and he will go out before us and he will fight battles our.
Te daengah ni kaimih khaw namtom rhoek bangla boeih ka om uh eh. Ka manghai long tah kaimih ham lai a tloek vetih kaimih hmai ah lamhma ni, kaimih kah caemtloek khaw a tloek ni,” a ti uh.
21 And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.
Pilnam ol te Samuel loh boeih a yaak vaengah tah BOEIPA kah a hna dongla a thui pah.
22 And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to voice their and you will make king for them a king and he said Samuel to [the] people of Israel go each man to own city his.
Tedae Samuel te BOEIPA loh, “Amih ol te hnatun lamtah manghai pakhat tah amih taengah manghai sak,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Israel hlang rhoek te Samuel loh, “Hlang boeih loh amah kho la cet laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
