1 Samuel 8
1 When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
Kane Samuel oseti noketo yawuote mondo obed jongʼad bura e Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
Nying wuode makayo ne Joel to nying wuowi mar ariyo ne Abija, kendo negitiyo e Bersheba.
3 His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
To yawuotego ne ok oluwo timbene. Ne gibaro kuom dwaro mwandu malangʼ kendo ka gikawo asoya bende ka gingʼado bura marach.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.
Omiyo jodong Israel noromo kamoro achiel mine gidhi ir Samuel Rama.
5 They said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
Negiwachone niya, “In koro iseti kendo yawuoti bende ok luw timbeni; omiyo koro yiernwa ruoth mondo otelnwa, machal gi mag ogendini mamoko mondo otelnwa.”
6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
To kane gikwayo niya, “Miwa ruoth mondo otelnwa,” kwayoni ok ne omoro Samuel, omiyo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
7 The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me as the king over them.
To Jehova Nyasaye ne owachone niya, “Chik iti ne weche duto ma ji wachoni; nikech ok in ema gikwedi, to An ema gisekweda kaka ruodhgi.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so they also do to you.
Mana kaka gisebedo ka gitimo chakre ndalo mane agologi e piny Misri nyaka koroni, kagiweya kendo gitiyo ni nyiseche mamoko, ema koro in bende gitimoni.
9 Now therefore, listen to their voice. However, you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who will reign over them.”
Koro winj gima giwacho; makmana isiemgi matek, kendo mondo inyisgi mondo gingʼe gik ma ruoth mabiro ritogi biro timo.”
10 Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.
Samuel nonyiso joma ne kwaye mondo omigi ruoth weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye.
11 He said, “This will be the way of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them as his servants, for his chariots and to be his horsemen; and they will run before his chariots.
Nowacho niya, “Ma e gima ruoth mabiro ritou notim: Nokaw yawuotu mi noketgi mondo giti e gechene gi faresene, kendo giniringi e nyim gechene.
12 He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plough his ground and to reap his harvest; and to make his instruments of war and the instruments of his chariots.
Moko to enoket jotelo mag lweny marito ji alufe alufe to moko motelo ni piero abich abich, moko nopur puothene gi dhok kendo kayo chambe, to bende moko noket mondo olos gige mag lweny to gi gik milosogo gechene.
13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers.
Nokaw nyiwu mondo obed jolos modhi mangʼwe ngʼar to moko obed joted chiemo kod makati.
14 He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.
Enokaw puotheu mabeyo moloyo gi puotheu mag olembe mag mzabibu gi zeituni mi enomi jotichne.
15 He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.
Enokaw achiel kuom apar mag chambu gi olembeu mi nomigi jotende gi jotije.
16 He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.
Nomau jotiju machwo gi ma nyiri, kaachiel gi jambu mabeyo moloyo, kod pundeu nokawgi mondo giti tijene owuon.
17 He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.
Nokaw achiel kuom apar mag jambu kendo un uwegi unubed wasumbinige.
18 You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
Ka odiechiengno ochopo, unuywagi ka ukwayo kony kuom ruoth mane uyiero, to Jehova Nyasaye ok nomiu dwoko.”
19 But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
To ji nodagi winjo Samuel mi negiwacho niya, “Ngangʼ! Wan to wadwaro ruoth mondo oritwa.
20 that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
Mondo wan bende wabed machal gi ogendini mamoko, ka wan gi ruoth matelo nyimwa ka wadhi e lweny.”
21 Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
Kane Samuel owinjo weche duto mane ji owacho, ne onyiso Jehova Nyasaye wechego mana kaka ne gikwayo.
22 The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.” Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go to your own city.”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Winj gima giwachoni kendo imigi ruoth.” Eka Samuel nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Koro ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e miechgi.”
