I Samuela 8

1 A ELEMAKULE o Samuela, hoolilo aku la ia i kana mau keiki i mau lunakanawai no ka Iseraela.

And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

2 A o Ioela ka inoa o kana keiki mua, a o Abia ka inoa o ka lua o kana keiki: he mau lunakanawai laua ma Beereseba.

And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.

3 Aka, aole i hele kana mau keiki ma kona aoao; huli ae la laua mamuli o ka waiwai alunu, a lawe laua i ke kipe, a hookahuli i ka pono.

And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgements.

4 Alaila hoakoakoaia'e la na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, a hele mai io Samuela la ma Rama,

And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,

5 I mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua elemakule oe, aole i hele kau mau keiki ma kou aoao: ano e hoonoho oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono e like me na lahuikanaka a pau.

and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].

6 Ua hewa ia mea i ka manao o Samuela, i ka lakou i olelo mai ai, E haawi oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono. A pule aku la o Samuela ia Iehova.

And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.

7 I mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ka leo o na kanaka i na mea a pau a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe: no ka mea, aole lakou i hoowahawaha ia oe, aka, ua hoowahawaha mai lakou ia'u, i alii ole ai au maluna o lakou.

And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.

8 E like me na hana a pau a lakou i hana'i, mai ka manawa a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai Aigupita mai, a hiki i keia manawa, ia lakou i haalele ai ia'u, a malama aku i na akua e; pela lakou e hana nei ia oe.

According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.

9 Ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo; aka, e ao ikaika aku oe ia lakou, a e hoike aku hoi i ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o lakou.

And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.

10 Hai aku la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a Iehova i na kanaka i noi ai ia ia i alii.

And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.

11 Olelo aku la ia, Eia ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o oukou; E lawe no ia i na keikikane a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou nona ma na halekaa ona, a ma kona poe hoohololio, a e holo no kekahi mamua o na halekaa ona.

And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and amongst his horsemen, and running before his chariots,

12 A e hoonoho no ia nona i na lunatausani a me na lunakanalima, a no ka mahi i kana mahi ana, a no ke oki ana i kana ai, a no ka hana ana i kana mea kaua, a me na mea o kona mau halekaa.

and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.

13 A e lawe no ia i na kaikamahine a oukou i mea hana i na mea ono, a i mea kuke, a i mea kahu ai.

And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.

14 A e lawe no ia i na mahinaai o oukou, a me ka oukou pawaina, a me ka oukou paoliva, i na mea maikai, a e haawi aku na kana poe kauwa.

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.

15 A e lawe no ia i ka hapaumi o na hua a oukou, a o na pawaina, a e haawi aku na kona mau luna, me kana mau kauwa.

And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.

16 A e lawe no hoi ia i na kauwakane a oukou, a me na kauwawahine a oukou, a me ko oukou poe kanaka ui maikai, a me na hoki a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou no kana hana.

And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.

17 E lawe hoi ia i ka hapaumi o ka oukou poe hipa: a e lilo oukou i poe kauwa nana.

And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.

18 A e uwe nui oukou ia la, no ko oukou alii a oukou i koho ai no oukou; aole o Iehova e hoolohe mai ia oukou ia la.

And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.

19 Aka, aole loa i hoolohe mai na kanaka i ka leo o Samuela: i mai la lakou, Aole, ua makemake no makou i alii maluna o makou,

But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.

20 I like ai makou me na lahuikanaka e a pau; a i hooponopono ko makou alii ia makou, a e hele ia mamua o makou, a e kaua aku i ko makou kaua.

An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.

21 Hoolohe ae la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a na kanaka, a hai aku la ia mea i na pepeiao o Iehova.

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.

22 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo, a e hoonoho oe i alii no lakou. Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, E hoi oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kulanakauhale.

And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
