< 1 Samuel 8 >

1 When Samuel became old, he appointed his two sons, Joel and Abijah, to lead/rule the people of Israel.
Hagi Samueli'ma ozafama nereno'a keaga refakoma hu kva vahera nemofokizni huhampri zanante'ne.
2 They judged people’s disputes/cases in Beersheba [town].
Hagi ese ne' mofavre'mofo agi'a, Joeli'e. Hanki henka ne'mofo agi'a, Abija'e. Zanagra Berseba kumate keaga refako hu kva vahetre mani'na'e.
3 But they were not like their father. They wanted only to get a lot of money. They accepted bribes, and they did not make honest decisions about people’s disputes/cases.
Hianagi ana netremokea neznafa'ma hu'neaza huke kva eri'zana e'ori'na'e. Zanagra tamage huke eri'zana e'orina'anki, havi kazigati oku'a zagoreti'ma masavema zanamiza hazankaziga anteke keaga refko huke zamaza hu'na'e.
4 Finally, the Israeli leaders met at Ramah [town to discuss the matter] with Samuel.
Ana'ma hake'za miko Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za eri hantage'za Samuelinte Rama kumate vu'za,
5 They said to him, “Listen! You are now old, and your sons are not like you. Appoint a king to rule over us, like the kings that other countries have!”
amanage ome hu'naze, Kagra hago ozafare'nane, tare negamofokea kagrama nehanaza huke eri'zana e'ori'anki, mago'a kumapi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hunka kini huhamprintegeno tagrira kegava huranteno.
6 Samuel was very unhappy with them for requesting that, so he prayed to Yahweh about it.
Hianagi kini vahe azeri otigeno kegava hurantenoma hu'za hazankegura Samueli'a musena osuno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna higeno,
7 Yahweh replied, “Do what they have requested you to do. But ([do not think/the truth is not]) that you are the one whom they are really rejecting. I have been their king, and I am the one they are really rejecting.
Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, na'anema hu'za vahe'mo'za hanaza kante antenka amane anazana huo. Na'ankure zamagra kagri zamefira hunogamizanki, Nagri zamefira hunenami'za, Nagrikura kinitia omanisie hu'za nehaze.
8 Ever since I brought them out of Egypt, they have rejected me, and they have worshiped other gods. And now they are also rejecting you in the same way.
Hagi Isipitima zamavare atiramina e'noregati anazana hu'za ne-eza Nagrira zamefi hunenami'za ru anumza avariri'za monora hunente'za eri'zama'a erinte'za e'nazanki'za, anahukna kagri'enena hunegantaze.
9 Do what they are asking you to do. But warn/tell them about how their kings will act toward them!”
Hagi kagra ke zamia amage antenka kini ne' azeri otigeno, kegava huzmanteno. Hianagi kini ne'mo'ma kegavama huzmanteneno'ma maka avu'avazama huzmantesia zamofo nanekea zamasamio.
10 So Samuel told those people what Yahweh had said.
Higeno Samueli'a kini vaheku'ma eme antahigaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia nanekea miko zamasami vagare'ne
11 He said, “If a king rules over you, this is what he will do to you: He will force many of your sons to join the army. He will make [some of] them run in front of his chariots [to clear people out of his way].
Hagi Samueli'a zamasamino, Amanahu'za kinima manino kegava huramantesia ne'mo'a hugahie. Agra miko mofavretamia avreno hosi afu'ama eri'zama ha'ma ome hanaza vahe nezamanteno, karisima eri'za nevu'za ha'ma hu vahe zamavarentesige'za mago'amo'za agri karisimofo avuga ugote'za vugahaze.
12 [Some of] them will be commanders of his soldiers, but others will work for him like slaves. He will force some of them to plow his fields and [then later] harvest his crops. He will force others to make his weapons and equipment for his chariots.
Hagi mago'a zamavareno 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kva nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno 50'a sondia vahe kva vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno hozama erino ante vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno hozama hamare vahe nezamanteno, mago'a vahera zamavareno ha'zane kevema trohu vahe nezmanteno, mago'a zamavareno karisimofo mikazama tro hu vahe zamantegahie.
13 The king will take [some of] your daughters [from you and force them] to make perfumes for him and cook food for him and bake [bread for him].
Hagi mofa'netamia mago'a zamavareno mananentake zama retro'ma hanagu nezamateno, mago'a zamavareno ne'zama kre vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno bretima kre vahe zamantegahie.
14 He will take your best fields and vineyards and olive tree groves/orchards, and give them to his own officials.
Hagi knare hu'nenia witi hozama, knarema hunenia waini hozama, knare'ma hunenia olivi hozanena erino agra'a eri'za vahe zamigahie.
15 He will take a tenth of your harvests and distribute it among the officers and servants [who work in] his [palace].
Hagi 10ni'a kevuma witine wainima ante'nenafintira mago kevu erino eri'zama'a kegava nehaza vahe'ane eri'za vahe'a zamigahie.
16 He will take from you your male and female servants, your best cattle and donkeys, and force them to work for him.
Anahunkna huno ve kazokzo eri'za vahe'ene a' kazokzo eri'za vahe'ene, hanave nehazavene, knare'ma hu'nenia donkiramine bulimakaotamia zamavareno agra'a eri'za kante zamantegahie.
17 He will take one tenth of your sheep and goats. And you will become his slaves!
Hagi agra 10ni'a bulimakao afu kevu ante'nesafintira mago kevua agra nevreno, tamagria kazokzo eri'za vahe tamavrentegahie.
18 When that time comes, you will complain loudly to the king, the king that you yourselves have chosen, but Yahweh will not (pay attention to/help) you.”
Hagi ana'ma hanigeta Ra Anumzamofona krafage hunteta tamagrama huhampri'naza kini ne'mofo azampintira tazahunka tavro huta nunamuna hugahazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a tamaza osugahie.
19 But the people refused to pay attention to what Samuel said. They said, “We do not [care what you say]! We want a king!
Anagema Samueli'ma hige'za, ana ke'a ontahi'za zamagra hu'za, tagrira kini ne'mo kegava hurante'niegu tave'sie.
20 We want to be like the other nations. We want a king to rule us and to lead our soldiers when they go to fight.”
E'ina hanigeta ruga'a kumate vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta kinimofo kvafi mani'nunkeno agra'a vugota huranteno, hatera tavreno vugahie.
21 When Samuel told Yahweh what the people had said,
Hagi ana miko kema hazana Samueli'a antahiteno ana miko kea Ra Anumzamofo ome asami'ne.
22 Yahweh replied, “Do what they are telling you to do. Give them a king!” [So Samuel agreed], and then he sent the people home.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Samuelina asami'ne, zamagri ke antahinka mago kini zamio. Anage higeno Samueli'a miko vahera huzmantege'za kuma'zamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
