1 Samũeli 12
1 Na rĩrĩ, Samũeli akĩĩra andũ a Isiraeli othe atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩkĩtie gũthikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe mwanjĩĩrire, na nĩndĩmũthuurĩire mũthamaki wa kũmũthamakagĩra.
And he said Samuel to all Israel here! I have listened to voice your to all that you have said to me and I have made king over you a king.
2 Rĩu mũrĩ na mũthamaki wa kũmũtongoria. Hakwa-rĩ, ndĩ mũkũrũ na ngagĩa na mbuĩ, nao ariũ akwa me hamwe na inyuĩ. Ngoretwo ndĩ mũtongoria wanyu kuuma ndĩ mwĩthĩ nginya ũmũthĩ.
And now here! the king - [is] walking about before you and I I am old and I am gray haired and sons my here they [are] with you and I I have walked about before you since youth my until the day this.
3 Niĩ nũngiĩ haha. Rutai ũira wa kũnyuna mũtĩ mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, na mũrĩ mbere ya mũndũ ũyũ wake ũitĩrĩirio maguta. Nũũ ndaanatunya ndegwa yake? Nũũ ndaanatunya ndigiri yake? Nũũ ndaanaheenia? Nũũ ndaanahinyĩrĩria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ndĩ ndaamũkĩra ihaki nĩguo nyune maitho nĩ ũndũ warĩo? Kũngĩkorwo ndaneeka ũmwe wa maya-rĩ, nĩngũmũcookeria.”
Here [am] I testify against me before Yahweh and before anointed his [the] ox of - whom? have I taken and [the] donkey of whom? have I taken and whom? have I oppressed whom? have I crushed and from [the] hand of whom? have I taken a ransom so I may hide eyes my by it so I may restore [it] to you.
4 Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩ watũheenia kana ũgĩtũhinyĩrĩria; ndũrĩ woya kĩndũ kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.”
And they said not you have oppressed us and not you have crushed us and not you have taken from [the] hand of anyone anything.
5 Samũeli akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe mũira ũhoro-inĩ wanyu, o na mũndũ ũyũ aitĩrĩirie maguta nĩ mũira ũmũthĩ, atĩ gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe mũngĩnjuukĩra.” Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ we nĩ mũira.”
And he said to them [is] a witness Yahweh on you and [is] a witness anointed his the day this that not you have found in hand my anything and someone said [he is] a witness.
6 Samũeli agĩcooka akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe waamũrire Musa na Harũni, na akĩambatia maithe manyu ma tene kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
And he said Samuel to the people Yahweh who he appointed Moses and Aaron and who he brought up ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt.
7 Na rĩrĩ, ta rũgamai haha, tondũ nĩngũmũciirithia na ũira mbere ya Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũthingu marĩa Jehova anamwĩkĩra inyuĩ ene o na maithe manyu.
And therefore present yourselves so let me enter into judgment with you before Yahweh all [the] righteousness of Yahweh which he did with you and with ancestors your.
8 “Rĩrĩa ciana cia Jakubu ciathiire Misiri, nĩmakaĩire Jehova amateithie, nake Jehova agĩtũma Musa na Harũni arĩa maarutire maithe manyu ma tene kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩmathaamĩria kũndũ gũkũ.
Just when he went Jacob Egypt and they cried out ancestors your to Yahweh and he sent Yahweh Moses and Aaron and they brought out ancestors your from Egypt and they caused to dwell them in the place this.
9 “No nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩameendirie guoko-inĩ gwa Sisera, mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Hazoru, na moko-inĩ ma Afilisti, na mũthamaki wa Moabi ũrĩa warũire nao.
And they forgot Yahweh God their and he sold them in [the] hand of Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Hazor and in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand of [the] king of Moab and they fought against them.
10 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwĩhĩtie; nĩtũtiganĩirie Jehova tũgatungatĩra Mabaali na Maashitarothu. No rĩu gĩtũhonokie kuuma moko-inĩ ma thũ ciitũ, na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.’
And they cried out to Yahweh (and they said *Q(K)*) we have sinned for we have forsaken Yahweh and we have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth and now deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our so we may serve you.
11 Jehova agĩcooka agĩtũma Jerubu-Baali, na Baraka, na Jefitha, na Samũeli, na akĩmũhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ ma thũ cianyu mĩena-inĩ yothe; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũgĩtũũra mũtarĩ na ũgwati.
And he sent Yahweh Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and he delivered you from [the] hand of enemies your from round about and you dwelt security.
12 “No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa muonire atĩ Nahashu mũthamaki wa Amoni nĩookaga kũmũhũũra-rĩ, mũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, tũkwenda mũthamaki wa gũtũthamakagĩra,’ o na gwatuĩka atĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe warĩ mũthamaki wanyu.
And you saw that Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon [was] coming on you and you said to me In-deed a king he will reign over us and Yahweh God your [was] king your.
13 Rĩu ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki ũrĩa mũthuurĩte, o ũrĩa mwetirie; onei, Jehova nĩarũgamĩtie mũthamaki amũthamakagĩre.
And now here! the king whom you have chosen whom you asked for and here! he has set Yahweh over you a king.
14 Mũngĩĩtigĩra Jehova, mũmũtungatĩre, na mũmwathĩkĩre, na mũtikaremere maathani make, na angĩkorwo inyuĩ na mũthamaki ũrĩa ũkũmũthamakĩra nĩmũrĩrũmagĩrĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu-rĩ, nĩ wega!
If you will fear Yahweh and you will serve him and you will listen to voice his and not you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you will be both you as well as the king who he has become king over you after Yahweh God your.
15 No mũngĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova, na mũremere maathani make-rĩ, guoko gwake nĩgũkamũũkĩrĩra ta ũrĩa guokĩrĩire maithe manyu.
And if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and it will be [the] hand of Yahweh on you and on ancestors your.
16 “Na rĩrĩ, rũgamai muone ũndũ ũyũ mũnene Jehova akiriĩ gwĩka maitho-inĩ manyu!
Also now stand and see the thing great this which Yahweh [is] about to do to eyes your.
17 Githĩ rĩu ti hĩndĩ ya magetha ma ngano? Nĩngũkaĩra Jehova atũme marurumĩ na mbura. Na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ nĩ ũndũ mũũru mwekire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova rĩrĩa mwetirie mũthamaki.”
¿ Not [is] [the] harvest of wheat this day I will call out to Yahweh so he may give thunder claps and rain and know and see that evil your [is] great which you have done in [the] eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.
18 Ningĩ Samũeli agĩkaĩra Jehova, na mũthenya o ro ũcio Jehova agĩtũma marurumĩ na mbura. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩmaka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova na wa Samũeli.
And he called out Samuel to Yahweh and he gave Yahweh thunder claps and rain on the day that and it feared all the people exceedingly Yahweh and Samuel.
19 Nao andũ acio othe makĩĩra Samũeli atĩrĩ, “Hooya Jehova Ngai waku nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata ciaku nĩguo tũtigakue, nĩgũkorwo igũrũ rĩa mehia maitũ mothe nĩtuongereire ũũru wa gwĩtia mũthamaki.”
And they said all the people to Samuel pray for servants your to Yahweh God your and may not we die for we have added to all sins our an evil thing by asking for ourselves a king.
20 Samũeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra, inyuĩ nĩmwĩkĩte ũũru ũyũ wothe; no rĩrĩ, mũtikanahutatĩre Jehova, no tungatĩrai Jehova na ngoro cianyu ciothe.
And he said Samuel to the people may not you be afraid you you have done all the evil this nevertheless may not you turn aside from after Yahweh and you will serve Yahweh with all heart your.
21 Mũtikanagarũrũkĩre mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ya tũhũ. Ndĩngĩmũguna, o na ndĩngĩmũhonokia, nĩ ũndũ nĩ ya tũhũ.
And not you must turn aside for - after emptiness which not they will benefit and not they will rescue for [are] emptiness they.
22 Nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake inene, Jehova ndagatirika andũ ake, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩakenirio nĩ kũmũtua andũ ake.
For not he will abandon Yahweh people his for sake of name his great for he was determined Yahweh to make you for himself into a people.
23 No hakwa niĩ mwene-rĩ, ndĩroaga kwĩhĩria Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kũmũhoera. Na nĩngũmũruta njĩra ĩrĩa njega na njagĩrĩru.
Also I far be it to me from sinning to Yahweh from ceasing to pray for you and I will teach you [the] way of the good and the upright.
24 No mwĩtigagĩrei Jehova na mũmũtungatagĩre mũrĩ na wĩhokeku ngoro-inĩ cianyu ciothe; cũraniai maũndũ manene marĩa amwĩkĩire.
Only - fear Yahweh and you will serve him in faithfulness with all heart your for consider this: he has done great things with you.
25 No mũngĩkorwo nĩmũkũrũmanĩrĩria gwĩkaga ũũru-rĩ, inyuĩ hamwe na mũthamaki wanyu nĩmũkaniinwo biũ.”
And if still you will do evil both you as well as king your you will be swept away.
