1 Samuel 8
1 And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.
Setelah Samuel tua, diangkatnya anak-anaknya menjadi hakim di Israel.
2 And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges in Beer Sheba.
Anaknya yang sulung bernama Yoel dan yang kedua Abia. Mereka menjadi hakim di Bersyeba.
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.
Tetapi mereka tidak mengikuti kelakuan ayah mereka, melainkan hanya mengejar keuntungan sendiri saja. Mereka menerima uang sogok dan menghakimi rakyat secara tidak adil.
4 And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.
Sebab itu semua pemimpin Israel berkumpul, lalu menghadap Samuel di Rama,
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.
dan berkata kepadanya, "Dengarlah Pak, Bapak sudah tua dan anak-anak Bapak tidak mengikuti kelakuan Bapak. Jadi sebaiknya Bapak mengangkat seorang raja supaya kami mempunyai raja seperti bangsa-bangsa lain."
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.
Tetapi Samuel tidak senang dengan usul mereka itu. Lalu ia berdoa kepada TUHAN,
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.
dan TUHAN berkata, "Kabulkanlah segala permintaan bangsa itu kepadamu. Sebab bukan engkau yang mereka tolak, melainkan Aku. Mereka tidak menghendaki Aku lagi sebagai raja mereka.
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.
Sejak Aku membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir, mereka berpaling daripada-Ku dan menyembah dewa-dewa, dan apa yang sekarang mereka lakukan kepadamu, itulah yang telah mereka lakukan kepada-Ku.
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.
Sebab itu kabulkanlah permintaan mereka; tetapi peringatkanlah mereka dengan sungguh-sungguh, dan beritahukanlah bagaimana mereka nanti akan diperlakukan oleh raja."
10 And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.
Segala perkataan TUHAN itu disampaikan Samuel kepada orang-orang yang meminta seorang raja kepadanya, katanya,
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.
"Beginilah nantinya rajamu akan memperlakukan kamu," demikianlah Samuel menerangkan. "Ia akan memaksa anak-anakmu masuk tentara; sebagian dari mereka sebagai pasukan berkereta, sebagian sebagai pasukan berkuda, dan yang lainnya sebagai pasukan berjalan kaki.
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.
Sebagian diangkatnya menjadi perwira atas seribu orang, dan sebagian lain atas lima puluh orang. Raja itu akan memaksa anak-anakmu membajak ladangnya, mengumpulkan hasil panennya, membuat senjata-senjatanya dan perkakas kereta perangnya.
13 And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.
Anak-anakmu yang perempuan akan disuruh membuat minyak wangi baginya dan bekerja sebagai tukang masaknya dan tukang rotinya.
14 And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.
Ia akan mengambil ladangmu, kebun anggurmu, dan kebun zaitunmu yang paling baik dan memberikannya kepada para pegawainya.
15 And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.
Ladang dan kebun anggurmu akan dikenakan pajak sepersepuluh dari hasilnya, lalu akan diberikannya kepada para perwira dan para pegawainya.
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.
Ia akan mengambil budakmu, ternakmu yang terbaik dan keledaimu dan memakainya untuk pekerjaannya.
17 Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.
Sepersepuluh dari kawanan kambing dombamu akan diambil olehnya. Dan kamu sendiri akan menjadi hambanya.
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.
Jika masa itu sudah tiba, kamu akan berkeluh-kesah karena raja yang kamu pilih itu, tetapi TUHAN tidak mau mendengarkan keluhanmu."
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.
Tetapi bangsa itu tidak mau menghiraukan perkataan Samuel, malahan mereka berkata, "Biarlah! Bagaimanapun juga kami menginginkan raja.
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.
Kami ingin serupa dengan bangsa-bangsa lain, raja kami harus memerintah kami dan memimpin kami dalam peperangan."
21 And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.
Setelah Samuel mendengar segala perkataan mereka itu, ia menyampaikannya kepada TUHAN.
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.
TUHAN menjawab, "Ikuti saja kemauan mereka dan angkatlah seorang raja bagi mereka." Kemudian Samuel menyuruh orang-orang Israel itu pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.
