1 Samuel 8
1 Mgbe Samuel ghọrọ agadi, o mere ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ha bụrụ ndị ikpe ndị Izrel.
Forsothe it was don, whanne Samuel hadde wexide eld, he settide hise sones iugis on Israel.
2 Juel, ọkpara ya, na Abija, nke na-eso ya ka ọ họpụtara. Ha nọkwa na Bịasheba na-ekpe ndị Izrel ikpe.
And the name of his firste gendrid sone was Johel, and the name of the secounde was Abia, iugis in Bersabee.
3 Ma ụmụ ya esoghị ụzọ ya. Ha na-agbaso naanị ihe ga-abara ha. Ha na-erikwa ngarị, na-ekpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi.
And hise sones yeden not in `the weies of hym, but thei bowiden after aueryce, and thei token yiftis, and peruertiden doom.
4 Nʼihi ya, ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel niile zukọtara, bịakwute Samuel na Rema sị ya,
Therfor alle the grettere men in birthe of Israel weren gaderid, and camen to Samuel in to Ramatha.
5 “I meela agadi, ụmụ gị ndị ikom adịghịkwa eso ụzọ gị. Ugbu a họpụtara anyị onye ga-abụ eze anyị, onye ga na-edu anyị, dịka mba ndị ọzọ.”
And thei seiden to hym, Lo! thou hast wexid eld, and thi sones goen not in thi weies; ordeyne thou a kyng to vs, `that he deme vs, as also alle naciouns han.
6 Ma obi adịghị Samuel ụtọ mgbe ha rịọrọ sị, “Nye anyị eze ga-edu anyị.” Nʼihi ya, Samuel kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼekpere.
And the word displeside in the iyen of Samuel, for thei hadden seid, Yyue thou to vs a kyng, that he deme vs. And Samuel preiede to the Lord.
7 Onyenwe anyị gwara ya, “Gee ntị nʼihe niile ndị a na-agwa gị; ọ bụghị gị ka ha jụrụ, kama ọ bụ mụ onwe m ka ha jụrụ ibu eze ha.
Forsothe the Lord seide to Samuel, Here thou the vois of the puple in alle thingis whiche thei speken to thee; for thei han not caste awey thee, but me, that Y regne not on hem.
8 Site nʼụbọchị m mere ka ha si nʼIjipt pụta ruo taa, ha na-agbakụta m azụ, na-efe chi ndị ọzọ. Ọ bụkwa otu a ka ha na-eme gị ugbu a.
Bi alle her werkis whiche thei diden, fro the day in whiche Y ledde hem out of Egipt `til to this dai, as thei forsoken me, and seruyden alien goddis, so thei doon also to thee.
9 Mee dịka ha rịọrọ, ma echefula ịgwa ha ụdị omume eze ahụ ga-achị ha ga-emeso ha.”
Now therfor here thou her vois; netheles witnesse thou to hem; biforseie thou to hem the riyt of the kyng, that schal regne on hem.
10 Samuel gwara ndị Izrel na-arịọ ka e nye ha eze ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Therfor Samuel seide alle the wordis of the Lord to the puple, that hadde axid of him a king; and he seide,
11 Ọ zara sị ha, “Ihe ndị a bụ ụdị mmeso eze ahụ ga-achị unu ga-emeso unu: Ọ ga-eduru ụmụ unu ndị ikom mee ha ndị na-agba ọsọ nʼihu ụgbọ agha ya na ịnyịnya ya.
This schal be the `riyt of the kyng, that schal comaunde to you; he schal take youre sones, and schal sette in hise charis;
12 Ụfọdụ ka ọ ga-eme ọchịagha, ndị ga-elekọta ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, maọbụ iri ndị agha ise; ndị ụfọdụ ga-abụ ndị ga-akọ ubi ya, ndị ọzọ ga-ewebatakwa ihe owuwe ubi ya, ma ndị ọzọ ga-akpụrụ ya ngwa agha na ihe niile e ji anya ụgbọ agha ya.
and he schal make hem `to hym silf rideris, and biforegoeris of hise cartis; and he schal ordeyne to hym tribunes, `that is, souereyns of a thousynd, and centuriouns, `that is, souereyns of an hundrid, and eereris of hise feeldis, and reperis of cornes, and smythis of hise armeris, and charis.
13 Ọ ga-eduru ụmụ unu ndị inyom mee ka ha bụrụ ndị na-esiri ya mmanụ otite na-esi isi ụtọ, na ndị na-esiri ya nri, na ndị na-eghere ya ihe oghịghe.
Also he schal make youre douytris makeris of `oynementis to hym silf, and fueris, and bakeris.
14 Ọ ga-anarakwa unu ubi unu, na ubi vaịnị unu, na ubi oliv unu ndị kachasị mma, were ha nye ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
And he schal take youre feeldis and vyneris and the beste places of olyues, and schal yyue to hise seruauntis.
15 Ọ ga-ewere otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke mkpụrụ ubi unu na ubi vaịnị unu nye ndịisi ọrụ ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
But also he schal take the tenthe part of youre cornes, and rentis of vyneris, that he yyue to his chaumberleyns and seruauntis.
16 Ọ ga-akwagidekwa unu ka unu nye ya ndị ohu unu, ndị ikom nʼime ha, na ndị inyom nʼime ha, ya na anụ ụlọ unu ahụ dị ezi mma, na ịnyịnya ibu unu.
Sotheli he schal take awey youre seruauntis and handmaydes, and beste yong men, and assis, and schal sette in his werk.
17 Ọ ga-ewerekwa otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke igwe anụ ụlọ unu, meekwa ka unu onwe unu bụrụkwa ndị ohu ya.
Also he schal take the tenthe part of youre flockis, and ye schulen be `seruauntis to hym.
18 Mgbe ụbọchị ndị ahụ bịara, mgbe ihe ndị a bidoro imezu, unu ga-akwa akwa, rịọọ ka e wezugara unu eze ahụ unu họpụtaara onwe unu, ma Onyenwe anyị agaghị aṅa unu ntị nʼụbọchị ahụ.”
And ye schulen crye in that dai fro the face of youre kyng, whom ye han chose to you; and the Lord schal not here you in that dai; for ye axiden a kyng to you.
19 Ma ndị Izrel jụrụ ige Samuel ntị. Ha sịrị, “Anyị chọrọ eze ga-achị anyị.
Sotheli the puple nolde here the vois of Samuel, but thei seiden, Nay for a kyng schal be on vs;
20 Mgbe ahụ, anyị onwe anyị ga-adị ka ndị mba niile ọzọ, anyị ga-enwe eze ga na-edu anyị, na-aga nʼihu anyị na-ebukwa agha anyị.”
and we also schulen be as alle folkis, and oure kyng schal deme vs, and he schal go out bifor vs, and he schal fiyte oure batel for vs.
21 Samuel gwara Onyenwe anyị ihe niile ha kwuru.
And Samuel herde alle the wordis of the puple, and `spak tho in the eeris of the Lord.
22 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara ya ọzọ sị, “Mee ihe ha kwuru, nye ha eze.” Mgbe ahụ, Samuel gwara ndị ikom Izrel okwu sị ha, “Laanụ, nwoke ọbụla nʼobodo ya.”
Forsothe the Lord seide to Samuel, Here thou `the vois of hem, and ordeyne thou a kyng on hem. And Samuel seide to the men of Israel, Ech man go in to his citee.
