I Samuel 12
1 Kinuna ni Samuel iti entero nga Israel, “Tinungpalko dagiti amin nga imbagayo kaniak, ket nangisaadak iti maysa nga ari kadakayo.
And Samuel says to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice, to all that you said to me, and I cause a king to reign over you,
2 Ita, adtoy a magmagna ti ari iti sangoananyo; ket lakay ken ubananakon; ken, kaduayo dagiti annakko a lallaki. Indauloankayo sipud pat iti kinaubingko agingga ita nga aldaw.
and now, behold, the king is habitually walking before you, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, behold, they [are] with you, and I have habitually walked before you from my youth until this day.
3 Adtoyak; agsaksikayo a maibusor kaniak iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti sangoanan ti pinulotanna. Siasino koma ti akinbaka ti innalak? Siasino koma ti akin-asno ti innalak? Siasino koma ti kinaurko? Siasino koma ti indadanesko? Siasino koma ti akin-ima ti nangalaak iti pasuksok tapno pakabulsekan dagiti matak? Agsaksikayo maibusor kaniak, ket isublik daytoy kadakayo.”
Behold, here I [am]; testify against me before YHWH, and before His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose donkey have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide my eyes with it? And I restore [it] to you.”
4 Kinunada, “Saannakami a kinaur, indadanes, wenno tinakawan iti aniaman a banag manipud iti siasinoman a tao.”
And they say, “You have not oppressed us, nor have you crushed us, nor have you taken anything from the hand of anyone.”
5 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saksi ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, ken saksi ti pinulotanna ita nga aldaw, nga awan ti masarakanyo imak.” Ket simmungbatda, “Saksi ni Yahweh.”
And he says to them, “YHWH [is] a witness against you, and His anointed [is] a witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand”; and they say, “A witness.”
6 Kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Ni Yahweh ti nangdutok kada Moises ken Aaron, ken nangiruar kadagiti ammayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto.
And Samuel says to the people, “YHWH [is] He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the land of Egypt!
7 Ita ngarud, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo, tapno mailawlawagko koma kadakayo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ti maipapan iti amin a nalinteg nga inar-aramid ni Yahweh, nga inaramidna kadakayo ken kadagiti ammayo.
And now, station yourselves, and I judge you before YHWH, with all the righteous acts of YHWH, which He did with you, and with your fathers.
8 Idi napan ni Jacob iti Egipto, ken immasug dagiti kapuonanyo kenni Yahweh. Imbaon ni Yahweh da Moises ken Aaron, a nangiruar kadagiti kapuonanyo iti Egipto ken nagnaedda iti daytoy a lugar.
When Jacob has come to Egypt, and your fathers cry to YHWH, then YHWH sends Moses and Aaron, and they bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in this place,
9 Ngem nalipatanda ni Yahweh a Diosda; inlakona ida iti ima ni Sisera a kapitan dagiti armada ti Hasor, iti ima dagiti Filisteo, ken iti ima ti ari ti Moab; nakiranget amin dagitoy maibusor kadagiti kapuonanyo.
and they forget their God YHWH, and He sells them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight against them,
10 Immasugda kenni Yahweh ket kinunada, 'Nagbasolkami, gapu ta tinallikudanmi ni Yahweh ket nagserbikami kadagiti Baal ken kadagiti Astarte. Ngem ita ispalennakami manipud iti ima dagiti kabusormi, ket agserbikaminto kenka.'
and they cry to YHWH, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve You.
11 Isu nga imbaon ni Yahweh da Jerub Baal, Bedan, Jepta, ken Samuel, ket pinagballiginakayo kadagiti kabusoryo iti amin nga aglawlawyo, iti kasta nagbiagkayo a sitatalged.
And YHWH sends Jerubba‘al, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivers you out of the hand of your surrounding enemies, and you dwell confidently.
12 Idi nakitayo nga immay ni Nahas nga ari dagiti tattao iti Ammon maibusor kadakayo, kinunayo kaniak, 'Saan! Ngem ketdi, maysa nga ari ti masapul nga agturay kadakami' - uray no ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ti ariyo.
And you see that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon has come against you, and you say to me, No, but a king reigns over us; and your God YHWH [is] your king!
13 Ita, adtoy ti ari a piniliyo, a kiniddawyo ken dinutokan itan ni Yahweh a mangituray kadakayo.
And now, behold the king whom you have chosen—whom you have asked for! And behold, YHWH has placed a king over you.
14 No agbutengkayo kenni Yahweh, agserbikayo kenkuana, agtulnogkayo iti timekna, ken saankayo nga agsukir iti bilin ni Yahweh, dakayo ngarud ken ti ari nga agturay kadakayo ket agpadanto nga agbalin a pasurot ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
If you fear YHWH, and have served Him, and listened to His voice, then you do not provoke the mouth of YHWH, and you have been—both you and the king who has reigned over you—after your God YHWH.
15 No saanyo a tungpalen ti timek ni Yahweh, ngem agsukirkayo kadagiti bilin ni Yahweh, ti ima ngarud ni Yahweh ket bumusorto kadakayo, a kas iti ibubusorna idi kadagiti kapuonanyo.
And if you do not listen to the voice of YHWH—then you have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and the hand of YHWH has been against you, and against your fathers.
16 Uray ita, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo ket kitaenyo daytoy a na-indaklan a banag nga aramidento ni Yahweh iti imatangyo.
Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which YHWH is doing before your eyes;
17 Saan aya a panagaapit iti trigo ita? Umawagak kenni Yahweh tapno mangibaon koma isuna iti gurruod ken tudo. Ket maammoanyonto ken makitayo a nakaro ti kinadangkesyo, nga inaramidyo iti imatang ni Yahweh, iti panagkiddawyo iti ari a para kadakayo.”
is it not wheat-harvest today? I call to YHWH, and He gives voices and rain; and know and see that your evil is great which you have done in the eyes of YHWH, to ask [for] a king for yourselves.”
18 Isu nga immawag ni Samuel kenni Yahweh; ket nangibaon ni Yahweh iti gurruod ken tudo iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw. Ket nagbuteng iti kasta unay dagiti amin a tattao kenni Yahweh ken ni Samuel.
And Samuel calls to YHWH, and YHWH gives voices and rain on that day, and all the people greatly fear YHWH and Samuel;
19 Ket kinuna dagiti amin a tattao kenni Samuel, “Ikararagam kenni Yahweh a Diosmo dagiti adipenmo, tapno saankami a matay. Gapu ta innayonmi kadagiti amin a basbasolmi daytoy a dakes a panagkiddawmi iti ari para kadakami.”
and all the people say to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to your God YHWH, and we do not die, for we have added evil to all our sins to ask [for] a king for ourselves.”
20 Simmungbat ni Samuel, “Saankayo nga agbuteng. Inaramidyo amin dagitoy a dakes, ngem saankayo a tumallikod kenni Yahweh, ngem agserbikayo kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusoyo.
And Samuel says to the people, “Do not fear; you have done all this evil; only, do not turn aside from after YHWH—and you have served YHWH with all your heart,
21 Saankayo a tumallikud tapno surotenyo laeng dagiti ubbaw a banbanag a saan a mapagnumaran wenno makaispal kadakayo, gapu ta awan serserbida dagitoy.
and you do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain,
22 Gapu iti naindaklan a nagan ni Yahweh, saanna a laksiden dagiti tattaona, gapu ta makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh ti panangpilina kadakayo nga agbalin a tattaona.
for YHWH does not leave His people, on account of His great Name; for YHWH has been pleased to make you for a people to Him.
23 No maipapan kaniak, adayo koma a makabasolak kenni Yahweh gapu iti panangisardengko a mangikarkararag kadakayo. Ngem ketdi, isurok kadakayo ti wagas a naimbag ken umno.
I, also, far be it from me to sin against YHWH, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;
24 Agbutengkayo laeng kenni Yahweh ken agserbikayo kenkuana iti kinapudno iti amin a pusoyo. Amirisenyo dagiti naindaklan a banbanag nga inaramidna kadakayo.
only, fear YHWH, and you have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He has made great with you;
25 Ngem no ipapilityo ti panangaramid iti dakes, dakayo ken ti ariyo ket agpadanto a madadael.”
and if you really do evil, both you and your king are consumed.”
