1 Samuel 8
1 And it cometh to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he maketh his sons judges over Israel.
Saamuʼeel yeroo dulloometti ilmaan isaa abbootii murtii godhee Israaʼeliif muude.
2 And the name of his first-born son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
Maqaan ilma isaa hangaftichaa Yooʼeel, kan isa lammaffaa immoo Abiyaa jedhama; isaanis Bersheebaa keessatti abbootii murtii turan.
3 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
Ilmaan isaa garuu fakkeenya abbaa isaanii duukaa hin buune. Buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii mattaʼaa fudhatan; murtiis jalʼisan.
4 And all the elders of Israel gather themselves together, and come in unto Samuel to Ramath,
Kanaafuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel wal gaʼanii Saamuʼeel bira gara Raamaa dhufan;
5 and say unto him, 'Lo, thou hast become aged, and thy sons have not walked in thy ways; now, appoint to us a king, to judge us, like all the nations.'
isaanis, “Ati dulloomteerta; ilmaan kee immoo fakkeenya kee duukaa hin buune; akkuma saboonni kaan hundi mootii qaban sana mootii nu bulchu nuu muudi” jedhaniin.
6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they have said, 'Give to us a king to judge us;' and Samuel prayeth unto Jehovah.
Garuu, “Mootii nu bulchu nuuf muudi” jechuun isaanii waan Saamuʼeelin hin gammachiisiniif inni Waaqayyoon kadhate.
7 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Hearken to the voice of the people, to all that they say unto thee, for thee they have not rejected, but Me they have rejected, from reigning over them.
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Waan sabni sun siin jedhu hunda dhagaʼi; isaan akka ani mootii isaanii hin taaneef na tuffatan malee si hin tuffanne.
8 According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even unto this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods — so they are doing also to thee.
Isaan waanuma gaafa ani Gibxii isaan baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti na dhiisanii waaqota gara biraa tajaajiluudhaan natti hojjetan sana sittis hojjechaa jiru.
9 And now, hearken to their voice; only, surely thou dost certainly protest to them, and hast declared to them the custom of the king who doth reign over them.'
Egaa amma waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼi; garuu sirriitti isaan akeekkachiisiitii haala mootii isaan irratti mooʼu sanaa isaanitti himi.”
10 And Samuel speaketh all the words of Jehovah unto the people who are asking from him a king,
Saamuʼeelis dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda namoota akka mootiin isaaniif moosifamuuf gaafatan sanatti hime.
11 and saith, 'This is the custom of the king who doth reign over you: Your sons he doth take, and hath appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Wanni mootiin isin irratti mooʼu sun godhu kana: Inni ilmaan keessan fudhatee akka isaan gaariiwwan isaa irra tajaajilan godha; abbootii fardaas isaan godhata; isaanis gaariiwwan isaa dura fiigu.
12 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
Gariin isaanii ajajjuuwwan kumaa, gariin isaanii immoo ajajjuuwwan shantamaa, kaan immoo akka isaan lafa isaa qotanii midhaan isaa walitti qaban godha; warra hafanis akka isaan miʼa lolaatii fi miʼa gaariiwwan isaa hojjetan godha.
13 'And your daughters he doth take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
Intallan keessan fudhatee qopheessitoota dibata urgaaʼaa, qopheessitoota ittoo fi tolchitoota buddeenaa godhata.
14 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards — the best — he doth take, and hath given to his servants.
Lafa qotiisaa keessan isa filatamaa, iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi iddoo itti ejersa cuunfan isin irraa fudhatee hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
15 And your seed and your vineyards he doth tithe, and hath given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Midhaanii fi ija wayinii keessanii harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko fuudhee qondaaltota isaatii fi hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
16 And your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your young men — the best, and your asses, he doth take, and hath prepared for his own work;
Garboota dhiiraatii fi garboota dubartii, horii gagaarii fi harroota keessan fudhatee hojii ofii irratti bobbaafata.
17 your flock he doth tithe, and ye are to him for servants.
Bushaayee keessan keessaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko ni fudhata; isin mataan keessanuu garboota isaa taatu.
18 And ye have cried out in that day because of the king whom ye have chosen for yourselves, and Jehovah doth not answer you in that day.'
Gaafas isin mootii keessan isa ofii keessaniif filattan sana jalaa furamuuf ni iyyitu; garuu guyyaa sana Waaqayyo deebii isinii hin kennu.”
19 And the people refuse to hearken to the voice of Samuel, and say, 'Nay, but a king is over us,
Namoonni sun garuu Saamuʼeelin dhagaʼuu didanii akkana jedhan; “Hin taʼu! Nu mootii nu bulchu feena.
20 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king hath judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.'
Ergasiis akkuma saboota kaanii taana; mootiin keenyas nu hooggana; nu dura baʼees lola keenya nuu lola.”
21 And Samuel heareth all the words of the people, and speaketh them in the ears of Jehovah;
Saamuʼeel yeroo waan namoonni sun jedhan hunda dhagaʼetti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waanuma sana deebisee dubbate.
22 and Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Hearken to their voice, and thou hast caused to reign over them a king.' And Samuel saith unto the men of Israel, 'Go ye each to his city.'
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin, “Waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼiitii mootii moosisiif” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan magaalaa keessanitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
