I Samuel 8
1 Idi lakayen ni Samuel, pinagbalinna nga ukom dagiti annakna a lallaki iti entero nga Israel.
And it comes to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he makes his sons judges over Israel.
2 Ti nagan ti inauna nga anakna ket Joel, ken ti nagan ti maikadua nga anakna ket Abias. Isuda dagiti ukom iti Beerseba.
And the name of his firstborn son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
3 Dagiti annakna ket saan a nagbiag a kas iti wagas ti panagbiagna, ngem kinaagum ti ginamgamgamanda. Immawatda kadagiti pasuksok ken kinilloda ti hustisia.
and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
4 Ket naguummong dagiti amin a panglakayen ti Israel ket napanda kenni Samuel idiay Rama.
And all [the] elderly of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Samuel at Ramath,
5 Kinunada kenkuana, “Kitaem, lakaykan, ket dagiti annakmo, saanda nga ar-aramiden dagiti wagasmo. Mangdutokka iti agbalin nga arimi a mangikeddeng kadakami a kas kadagiti amin a nasion.”
and say to him, “Behold, you have become aged, and your sons have not walked in your ways; now, appoint a king to us, to judge us, like all the nations.”
6 Ngem saan a naragsakan ni Samuel idi imbagada daytoy, “Ikkannakami iti ari a mangikeddeng para kadakami.” Isu a nagkararag ni Samuel kenni Yahweh.
And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel when they have said, “Give a king to us, to judge us”; and Samuel prays to YHWH.
7 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Ipangagmo ti timek dagiti tattao iti amin nga ibagada kenka; ta saandaka a linaksid, ngem linaksiddak a kas arida.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from reigning over them.
8 Agtigtignayda ita a kas iti wagas nga inaramidda manipud iti aldaw nga inruarko ida idiay Egipto, taltallikudandak, ket ag-agserbida kadagiti didiosen, ket isu met ti ar-aramidenda kenka.
According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even to this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods—so they are also doing to you.
9 Ita, dumngngegka kadakuada; ngem ballaagam ida a siiinget ket ipakaammom kadakuada ti wagas a panangituray kadakuada iti maysa nga ari.”
And now, listen to their voice; only, surely you certainly protest to them, and have declared to them the custom of the king who reigns over them.”
10 Imbaga ngarud amin ni Samuel dagiti sasao ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao nga agkidkiddaw iti ari.
And Samuel speaks all the words of YHWH to the people who are asking [for] a king from him,
11 Kinunana, “Kastoyto ti wagas a panangituray kadakayo ti maysa nga ari. Alaennanto dagiti annakyo a lallaki ket dutokanna ida a mangiturong kadagiti karwahena ken agbalin a mannakigubat a nakakabalio, ken umun-una nga agtaray sakbay dagiti karwahena.
and says, “This is the custom of the king who reigns over you: he takes your sons, and has appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
12 Mangdutokto isuna kadagiti kapitan dagiti rinibribu a soldadona, ken kapitan dagiti limapulo a soldadona. Mangdutokto isuna kadagiti sumagmamano a mangarado iti dagana, sumagmamano nga agani kadagiti apitna, ken sumagmamano nga agaramid iti igam a para iti gubat ken dagiti alikamen para kadagiti karwahena.
also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
13 Alaennanto met dagiti annakyo a babbai tapno para-aramid kadagiti bangbanglo, para-luto ken agbalin a panadera.
And he takes your daughters for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
14 Alaennanto dagiti kasasayaatan a talonyo, dagiti kaubasanyo, ken dagiti kaoliboanyo, ket itedna dagitoy kadagiti adipenna.
and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards—he takes the best, and has given to his servants.
15 Alaennanto ti apagkapullo dagiti trigoyo ken dagiti kaubasanyo, ket itedna kadagiti opisialna ken kadagiti adipenna.
And he tithes your seed and your vineyards, and has given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
16 Alaennanto dagiti lallaki ken babbai nga adipenyo ken dagiti kasasayaatan kadagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki ken dagiti asnoyo; pagtrabahoenna amin ida para iti bukodna.
And your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and your donkeys, he takes, and has prepared for his own work;
17 Alaenna ti apagkapullo kadagiti arbanyo, ket agbalinkayonto a tagabuna.
he tithes your flock, and you are for servants to him.
18 Ket umasugkayonto iti dayta nga aldaw gapu iti ariyo a piniliyo para kadagiti bagbagiyo; ngem saannakayonto nga ipangag ni Yahweh iti dayta nga aldaw.”
And you have cried out in that day because of the king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH does not answer you in that day.”
19 Ngem nagkedked a dumngeg dagiti tattao kenni Samuel; kinunada, “Saan! Rumbeng nga adda ari a mangituray kadakami
And the people refuse to listen to the voice of Samuel, and say, “No, but a king is over us,
20 tapno agbalinkami a kas kadagiti dadduma a nasion, ken tapno mangngeddeng ti arimi para kadakami ken idauloanna dagiti soldadomi a mapan makigubat.”
and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king has judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.”
21 Idi nangngeg ni Samuel dagiti amin nga imbaga dagiti tattao, inyulitna dagitoy kadagiti lapayag ni Yahweh.
And Samuel hears all the words of the people, and speaks them in the ears of YHWH;
22 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, “Ipangagmo dagiti ararawda ket mangdutokka iti ari para kadakuada.” Isu a kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Amin a tao ket masapul nga agawid iti siudadna.”
and YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and you have caused a king to reign over them.” And Samuel says to the men of Israel, “Go, each man, to his city.”
