1 Samuel 12
1 Mgbe ahụ, Samuel gwara ụmụ Izrel sị, “Lee, emeelara m unu ihe unu rịọrọ, Enyela m unu eze.
Forsothe Samuel seide to al Israel, Lo! Y herde youre vois bi alle thingis whiche ye spaken to me, and Y ordeynede a kyng on you;
2 Ugbu a, unu enweela eze, onye bụ onyendu unu. Ma nʼebe mụ onwe m nọ, abụrụla m agadi isi awọ, ụmụ m ndị ikom so nọrọkwa nʼetiti unu. Abụ m onyendu unu site na mgbe m bụ okorobịa ruo taa.
and now the king goith bifor you. Sotheli Y wexide eld and hoor; forsothe my sones ben with you; therfor Y lyuyde bifor you fro my yong wexynge age `til to this dai. And lo!
3 Lee m ka m guzo nʼihu unu. Gbaanụ ama megide m nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na nʼihu onye ya o tere mmanụ. Onye ka m zuuru ehi ya? Onye ka m zuuru ịnyịnya ibu ya? Ọ dị onye m ghọgburu? Ọ dị onye m megburu? Ọ dị onye m si nʼaka ya nara ego aka azụ ime ka m ghara ikpe ikpe ziri ezi? Gwanụ m ma ọ bụrụ na m mere ihe ndị a, aga m emezi ya.”
Y am redi; speke ye to me bifor the Lord, and bifor `the crist of hym; whether Y took `the oxe of ony man, ether the asse; if Y falsly chalengide ony mon; yf Y oppresside ony man; if Y took yifte of `the hond of ony man; and Y schal `dispise it to dai, and Y schal restore to you.
4 Ha zara sị, “Mba ọ dịbeghị mgbe ị ghọgburu anyị, maọbụ kpagbuo anyị, nʼụzọ ọbụla. O nweghịkwa onye i si nʼaka ya were ihe ọbụla.”
And thei seiden, Thou hast not falsly chalengid vs, nether hast oppressid vs, nether hast take ony thing of `the hond of ony man.
5 Samuel zara sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị bụ onye akaebe megide unu. Otu a kwa, onye ya o tere mmanụ bụ onye akaebe taa, na unu achọtaghị ihe ọbụla nʼaka m.” Ha zara sị, “E, ọ bụ onye akaebe!”
And he seide to hem, The Lord is witnesse ayens you, and his crist is witnesse in this day; for ye han not founde ony thing in myn hond. And thei seiden, Witnesse.
6 Samuel gakwara nʼihu nʼokwu ya sị, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị họpụtara Mosis na Erọn. Ọ bụkwa ya mere ka nna nna unu ha si nʼIjipt pụta.
And Samuel seide to the puple, The Lord, that made Moises and Aaron, and ledde youre fadris out of the lond of Egipt, is present;
7 Ugbu a, guzonụ jụ nʼebe a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka m chetara unu ihe ọma niile Onyenwe anyị meere unu na nna nna unu ha.
now therfor stonde ye, that Y stryue bi doom ayens you bifor the Lord, of alle the mercyes of the Lord, whiche he dide with you, and with youre fadris.
8 “Mgbe ụmụ Jekọb batara Ijipt, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị ka o nyere ha aka. Onyenwe anyị zitere Mosis na Erọn, ndị kpọpụtara nna nna unu ha site nʼIjipt, mee ka ha bịa biri nʼebe a.
Hou Jacob entride in to Egipt, and youre fadris crieden to the Lord; and the Lord sente Moises and Aaron, and ledde youre fadris out of Egipt, and settide hem in this place.
9 “Ma ha chefuru Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, nʼihi ya o nyefere ha nʼaka Sisera, bụ ọchịagha eze Hazọ, nakwa nʼaka ndị Filistia, na eze ndị Moab, bụ ndị lụsoro ha ọgụ.
Whiche foryaten her Lord God; and he bitook hem in the hond of Sisara, maystir of the chyualrie of Asor, and in the hond of Filisteis, and in the hond of the kyng of Moab; and thei fouyten ayens hem.
10 Ha tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, sị ya, ‘Anyị emehiela, anyị agbakụtalaOnyenwe anyị azụ, fee arụsị Baal na Ashtọret. Ma ugbu a, napụta anyị site nʼaka ndị iro anyị, anyị ga-efekwa gị.’
Sotheli afterward thei crieden to the Lord, and seiden, We synneden, for we forsoken the Lord, and seruyden Baalym and Astroth; now therfor delyuere thou vs fro `the hond of oure enemyes, and we schulen serue thee.
11 Onyenwe anyị zitere Jerub-Baal, na Barak, na Jefta, na Samuel, ka ha zọpụta unu site nʼaka ndị iro nọ unu gburugburu, mee ka unu biri nʼudo.
And the Lord sente Gerobaal, and `Bedan, that is, Sampson, and Barach, and Jepte, and Samuel, and delyuerede you fro the hond of youre enemyes bi cumpass; and ye dwelliden tristili.
12 “Ma mgbe unu hụrụ na Nahash, eze ndị Amọn na-achọ ibuso unu agha, unu tụrụ egwu bịakwute m sị m, ‘Mba, anyị chọrọ eze ga-achị anyị,’ nʼagbanyeghị na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu bụ eze unu.
Forsothe ye sien, that Naas, kyng of the sones of Amon, cam ayens you; and ye seiden to me, counseilynge to axe noon other kyng than God, Nay, but a kyng schal comaunde to vs; whanne `youre Lord God regnede in you.
13 Ugbu a, leenụ eze unu họpụtara, nʼihi na ọ bụ unu rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị ka o nye unu ya; Onyenwe anyị azakwala arịrịọ unu.
Now therfor youre kyng is redi, whom ye han chose and axid; lo! the Lord yaf to you a kyng.
14 Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, fee ya, rubere ya isi, hapụ inupu isi nʼebe iwu ya dị, ọ bụrụkwa na unu na eze unu ga-esogide Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ihe niile ga-adị mma.
If ye dreden the Lord, and seruen hym, and heren his vois, and wraththen not the `mouth of the Lord; ye and youre kyng, that comaundith to you, schulen sue youre Lord God.
15 Ma ọ bụrụ na unu enupu isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị, jụ ige ya ntị, aka ya ga-abịakwasị unu nʼoke iwe, ọ ga-emekwa unu ihe o mere nna nna unu ha.
Forsothe if ye heren not the vois of `the Lord, but wraththen his word, the hond of the Lord schal be on you, and on youre fadris.
16 “Ugbu a, na-elenụ anya ka unu hụ ọrụ ịtụnanya niile Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịrụ.
But also now stonde ye, and se this gret thing which the Lord schal make in youre siyt.
17 Unu maara na ugbu a bụ oge a na-aghọ mkpụrụ ọka wiiti, ma aga m ekpe ekpere ka Onyenwe anyị zite egbe eluigwe na mmiri ozuzo taa, ka unu ghọta ụdị ihe ọjọọ unu mere nʼanya Onyenwe anyị mgbe unu rịọrọ ya sị ya nye unu eze.”
Whether heruest of whete is not `to dai? I schal inwardli clepe the Lord, and he schal yyue voices, `that is, thundris, and reynes; and ye schulen wite, and schulen se, for ye axynge a kyng on you han do greuouse yuel to you in the siyt of the Lord.
18 Mgbe ahụ Samuel kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị zidatakwara egbe eluigwe na mmiri ozuzo nʼụbọchị ahụ. Nke a mere ka mmadụ niile tụọ Onyenwe anyị na Samuel egwu.
And Samuel criede to the Lord, and the Lord yaf voices and reynes in that dai.
19 Ndị ahụ rịọrọ Samuel arịrịọ sị ya, “Biko kpeere anyị ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ka anyị bụ ndị ohu gị ghara ịnwụ. Nʼihi na, nʼezie, anyị ejirila aka anyị mee ka mmehie anyị mụbaa site nʼịrịọ ka e nye anyị eze.”
And al the puple dredde greetli the Lord and Samuel; and al the puple seide to Samuel, Preye thou for thi seruauntis to thi Lord God, that we die not; for we addiden yuel to alle oure synnes, that we axiden a kyng to vs.
20 Samuel zara sị, “Unu atụla egwu. Unu emeela ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile, ma hụkwanụ na unu ji obi unu niile fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe. Unu agbakụtakwala ya azụ nʼụzọ ọbụla.
Forsothe Samuel seide to the puple, `Nyle ye drede; ye han do al this yuel; netheles `nyle ye go awey fro the bak of the Lord, but serue ye the Lord in al youre herte;
21 Unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na ha abaghị uru. Ha agaghị enyere unu aka maọbụ napụta unu site nʼaka ndị iro unu.
and nyle ye bowe aftir veyn thingis, that schulen not profite to you, nether schulen delyuere you; for tho ben veyn thingis.
22 Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ ndị ya ọ họpụtara, nʼihi na-ime ihe dị otu a bụ iwetara aha ya dị ukwuu ihere. Ọ tọrọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ ime unu mba pụrụ iche nye onwe ya.
And the Lord schal not forsake his puple for his grete name; for the Lord swoor to make you a puple to hym silf.
23 Ma banyere mụ onwe m, ọ ga-abụrụ m ihe arụ ma a sị na m ga-emehie megide Onyenwe anyị site nʼịkwụsị ikpere unu ekpere. Aga m anọgidekwa na-ezi unu ihe ndị ahụ dị mma, na ihe ndị ahụ kwesiri ekwesi.
Forsothe this synne be fer fro me in the Lord, that Y ceesse to preye for you; and Y schal teche you a riytful weie and good.
24 Naanị tụọnụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, werekwanụ obi unu fee ya ofufe nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi; chetanụ ihe ukwuu niile o meere unu.
Therfor drede ye the Lord, and `serue ye hym in treuthe, and of al youre herte; for ye sien tho grete thingis, whiche he `dide in you;
25 Ma ọ bụrụ na unu anọgide na-eme ihe ọjọọ, unu na eze unu ka a ga-ekpochapụ.”
that if ye contynuen in malice, bothe ye and youre kyng schulen perische to gidere.
