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.

Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beer-sheba.

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 walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

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

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

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 said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

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.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto 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 unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign 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 the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

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.

Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that 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 told all the words of the LORD unto the people that 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 will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run 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 he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments 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] confectionaries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] 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 oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], 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 tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, 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 menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.

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

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye 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 ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

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,

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have 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.

That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and 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 he rehearsed 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, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
