1 Samũeli 8
1 Rĩrĩa Samũeli aakũrire, nĩathuurire ariũ ake matuĩke atiirĩrĩri bũrũri wa Isiraeli.
When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
2 Mũriũ wake wa irigithathi eetagwo Joeli, nake wa keerĩ eetagwo Abija, nao maatungataga kũu Birishiba.
(And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.
3 No rĩrĩ, ariũ ake matiathiire na mĩthiĩre ta yake. Nĩmagarũrũkire makĩĩrirĩria ũtonga ũtarĩ wa ma, na makaamũkagĩra mahaki, na makoogomagia kĩhooto.
And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri othe a Isiraeli makĩũngana, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Samũeli o kũu Rama.
Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
5 Makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũkũrũ, nao ariũ aku matirathiĩ na mĩthiĩre ta yaku; rĩu thuura mũthamaki atũtongoragie o ta ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe.”
And said vnto him, Beholde, thou art olde, and thy sonnes walke not in thy wayes: make vs nowe a King to iudge vs like all nations.
6 No rĩrĩa maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Tũhe mũthamaki atũtongoragie.” Ũndũ ũcio ndwakenirie Samũeli; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhooya Jehova.
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
7 Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe andũ aya marakwĩra; tiwe mararega, no nĩ niĩ mararega nduĩke mũthamaki wao.
And the Lord said vnto Samuel, Heare the voyce of the people in all that they shall say vnto thee: for they haue not cast thee away, but they haue cast me away, that I should not reigne ouer the.
8 O ta ũrĩa matũire mekaga ũguo kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndamambatirie ngĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ, makandiganĩria magatungatĩra ngai ingĩ, ũguo noguo maragwĩka.
As they haue euer done since I brought them out of Egypt euen vnto this day, (and haue forsaken me, and serued other gods) euen so doe they vnto thee.
9 Na rĩrĩ, kĩmathikĩrĩrie; no ũmataare, ũtĩtĩrithie na ũreke mamenye ũrĩa mũthamaki ũcio ũkaamathamakagĩra ageekaga.”
Nowe therefore hearken vnto their voyce: howbeit yet testifie vnto them, and shewe them the maner of ye King that shall reigne ouer them.
10 Nake Samũeli akĩĩra andũ acio maamwĩtagia mũthamaki ũhoro wothe wa Jehova.
So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.
11 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũthamaki ũrĩa ũkaamũthamakagĩra ageekaga: Nĩakoya ariũ anyu amatue a gũtungataga na ngaari ciake cia ita, na mbarathi, na mahanyũkage mbere ya ngaari ciake cia ita.
And he saide, This shall be the maner of the King that shall reigne ouer you: he will take your sonnes, and appoint them to his charets, and to be his horsemen, and some shall runne before his charet.
12 Amwe ao nĩakamatua aathani a thigari ngiri, na aathani a thigari mĩrongo ĩtano, na arĩa angĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yake na makamũgethera, o na angĩ mathondekage indo cia mbaara na cia ngaari ciake cia ita.
Also he will make them his captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer fifties, and to eare his ground, and to reape his haruest, and to make instruments of warre, and the thinges that serue for his charets.
13 Nĩakoya airĩtu anyu amatue athondeki a indo iria inungaga wega, na arugi na athondeki a mĩgate.
He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.
14 Nĩakoyaga mĩgũnda yanyu, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ, na ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa mĩega mũno amĩhe ndungata ciake.
And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.
15 Nĩakoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ngano yanyu na gĩa thabibũ cianyu akĩhe anene ake na ndungata ciake.
And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.
16 Ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na ngʼombe cianyu iria njega na ndigiri nĩagacioya ituĩke cia kũmũrutagĩra wĩra.
And he will take your men seruants, and your maide seruants, and the chiefe of your yong men, and your asses, and put them to his worke.
17 Nĩakoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa mahiũ manyu, o na inyuĩ ene nĩ mũgaatuĩka ngombo ciake.
He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
18 Mũthenya ũcio wakinya-rĩ, nĩmũgakaya nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki ũcio mwĩthuurĩire, nake Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ akaamũcookeria mũthenya ũcio.”
And ye shall crie out at that day, because of your King, whom ye haue chosen you, and the Lord will not heare you at that day.
19 No andũ acio makĩrega gũthikĩrĩria Samũeli makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca! Ithuĩ tũkwenda mũthamaki wa gũtũthamakagĩra.
But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.
20 Ningĩ tũtuĩke ta ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe, tũrĩ na mũthamaki wa gũtũtongoragia na wa gũthiiaga mbere iitũ na wa kũrũaga mbaara ciitũ.”
And we also will be like all other nations, and our King shall iudge vs, and goe out before vs, and fight our battels.
21 Rĩrĩa Samũeli aiguire ũhoro ũrĩa wothe andũ acio moigire-rĩ, akĩũcookera mbere ya Jehova.
Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.
22 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maigue, ũmahe mũthamaki.” Nake Samũeli akĩĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ nĩacooke itũũra-inĩ rĩake.”
And the Lord saide to Samuel, Hearken vnto their voyce, and make them a King. And Samuel said vnto the men of Israel, Goe euery man vnto his citie.
