1 Samũeli 8
1 Rĩrĩa Samũeli aakũrire, nĩathuurire ariũ ake matuĩke atiirĩrĩri bũrũri wa Isiraeli.
And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.
2 Mũriũ wake wa irigithathi eetagwo Joeli, nake wa keerĩ eetagwo Abija, nao maatungataga kũu Birishiba.
And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges 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 not they walked sons his (in ways his *Q(K)*) and they turned aside after unjust gain and they took a bribe and they turned aside justice.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri othe a Isiraeli makĩũngana, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Samũeli o kũu Rama.
And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.
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 they said to him here! you you have become old and sons your not they have walked in ways your now appoint! for us a king to judge us like all the nations.
6 No rĩrĩa maamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Tũhe mũthamaki atũtongoragie.” Ũndũ ũcio ndwakenirie Samũeli; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhooya Jehova.
And it was displeasing the matter in [the] eyes of Samuel just when they said give! to us a king to judge us and he prayed Samuel to Yahweh.
7 Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe andũ aya marakwĩra; tiwe mararega, no nĩ niĩ mararega nduĩke mũthamaki wao.
And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to [the] voice of the people to all what they will say to you for not you they have rejected for me they have rejected from reigning over them.
8 O ta ũrĩa matũire mekaga ũguo kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndamambatirie ngĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ, makandiganĩria magatungatĩra ngai ingĩ, ũguo noguo maragwĩka.
According to all the deeds which they have done from [the] day brought up I them from Egypt and until the day this and they have forsaken me and they have served gods other so they [are] doing also to you.
9 Na rĩrĩ, kĩmathikĩrĩrie; no ũmataare, ũtĩtĩrithie na ũreke mamenye ũrĩa mũthamaki ũcio ũkaamathamakagĩra ageekaga.”
And now listen to voice their nevertheless for certainly you will warn them and you will tell to them [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over them.
10 Nake Samũeli akĩĩra andũ acio maamwĩtagia mũthamaki ũhoro wothe wa Jehova.
And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.
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 said this it will be [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over you sons your he will take and he will appoint [them] for himself in chariot[s] his and among horsemen his and they will run before chariot his.
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.
And to appoint [them] for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and to plow plowing his and to harvest harvest his and to make [the] weapons of warfare his and [the] equipment of chariotry his.
13 Nĩakoya airĩtu anyu amatue athondeki a indo iria inungaga wega, na arugi na athondeki a mĩgate.
And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.
14 Nĩakoyaga mĩgũnda yanyu, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ, na ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa mĩega mũno amĩhe ndungata ciake.
And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.
15 Nĩakoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ngano yanyu na gĩa thabibũ cianyu akĩhe anene ake na ndungata ciake.
And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.
16 Ndungata cianyu cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na ngʼombe cianyu iria njega na ndigiri nĩagacioya ituĩke cia kũmũrutagĩra wĩra.
And [male] servants your and female servants your and young men your good and donkeys your he will take and he will use [them] for work his.
17 Nĩakoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa mahiũ manyu, o na inyuĩ ene nĩ mũgaatuĩka ngombo ciake.
Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.
18 Mũthenya ũcio wakinya-rĩ, nĩmũgakaya nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki ũcio mwĩthuurĩire, nake Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ akaamũcookeria mũthenya ũcio.”
And you will cry out in the day that because of king your whom you have chosen for yourselves and not he will answer Yahweh you in the day that.
19 No andũ acio makĩrega gũthikĩrĩria Samũeli makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca! Ithuĩ tũkwenda mũthamaki wa gũtũthamakagĩra.
And they refused the people to listen to [the] voice of Samuel and they said No! for except a king he will be over us.
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 will be also we like all the nations and he will judge us king our and he will go out before us and he will fight battles our.
21 Rĩrĩa Samũeli aiguire ũhoro ũrĩa wothe andũ acio moigire-rĩ, akĩũcookera mbere ya Jehova.
And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.
22 Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Maigue, ũmahe mũthamaki.” Nake Samũeli akĩĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ nĩacooke itũũra-inĩ rĩake.”
And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to voice their and you will make king for them a king and he said Samuel to [the] people of Israel go each man to own city his.
