1 Samue 12
1 Hagi Samueli'a miko Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Miko kema nasamiza ketami antahirami'na kegavama huramantesia kinia azeri otue.
Then Samuel said this to all the Israeli people: “I have done everything that you told me to do, and I have given/appointed a king to rule you.
2 Hagi keho, vugotama huramante'nia kinia hago azeri otue. Hagi nagra hago ozafarogeno, tu'nazoka tagigeno mofavre'nimo'za ama tamagrane mani'naze. Hagi mofavrema mani'noreti kva huramante'na neogeno menina ama knare ehanatie.
My own sons [are grown up and] with you now, but I have appointed Saul [instead of one of them], and he is now your leader. I am now old, and my hair is gray. I have been your leader ever since I was a boy.
3 Hagi menina ama Ra Anumzamofo avure'ene kini ne'mofo avurera ama otuanki, mago'a zama tamagri tamavufima hu'nesua zana huama hunanteho. Nagra mago vahe bulimakao o donki afu kumzafa ase'nofi? Hifi iza havizana hunte'na knazana ami'noe? Hagi keagama refko hu'nofina iza zago eri'nena, agri kaziga mani'na keaga refako hu so'ea osu'noe. Nasaminke'na anazama hu'ne'nua zantera nona hu'na mizasa'neno.
Now tell me, while Yahweh is listening, and while the king whom he has chosen is listening: whose ox or donkey have I stolen [during all those years]? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed/treated badly? From whom have I accepted a bribe, in order that I would ignore [the evil things he had done]? If I have done any of those things, tell me, and I will pay back what I owe.”
4 Anage hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za kenona hu'za, Kagra tazeri havizana osunka, reravatga osunka, masavema hu kazigati'ma kamiza zantamina mago vahe'mofo zampintira e'ori'nane.
They replied, “[No, ] you have never cheated anyone or oppressed anyone or accepted a bribe from anyone.”
5 Hagi anante Samueli'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Mago havizana tagri tavufina osu'nane hutama haza ketamia, Ra Anumzamo'ene menima azeri otua kini ne'mo'a nentahigeta anagea nehaze, hige'za zamagra kenona'a hu'za, Izo agra keno antahino hu'ne hu'za hazageno,
Then Samuel said, “Today Yahweh can testify, and the king whom you chose can testify, that I have not taken a bribe from anyone.” They replied, “Yes, Yahweh can say that he knows that is true.”
6 Samueli'a mago'ane Israeli vahera zamasamino, Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesene Aronikizni huhampri zananteteno, Isipitira tamagehe'ina zamavareno fegi atiramino e'ne.
Samuel continued by saying, “Yahweh is the one who appointed Moses and Aaron [to lead] our ancestors. He is the one who brought them out of Egypt. [And he is the one who will testify that what I am saying is true].
7 Hagi otita mani'nenke'na knare huno fatgoma hu'nea zama Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagri'ene tamagehe'inema huramante'nea zamofo nanekea tamasami'neno.
Now while Yahweh is listening, stand here quietly while I accuse you [and tell you that your requesting a king instead of trusting Yahweh to lead you was wrong]. I will do that by reminding you of all the great miracles that Yahweh performed for you and your ancestors.
8 Hagi Jekopu'ma Isipi vutegeno'a, tamagehe'za Ra Anumzamofonku tazahuo hu'za krafage huntazageno, Mosesene Aronikiznia huznantege'ne vugota huzamante'za amama menima mani'naza mopafina zamavare'za e'naze.
[“Many years] after Jacob went to Egypt, our ancestors pleaded to Yahweh to help them. So Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron to them, and they led our ancestors out of Egypt, and eventually they settled in this land.
9 Hianagi zamagra Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamofona zamage kanintazageno, Hazori sondia vahete vugagota sondia ne' Siserane, Filistia vahetamine, Moapu kini ne' zamazampi Ra Anumzamo'a zamavarentege'za, ha' huzmagatere'za kegava huzmante'naze.
“But our ancestors soon forgot about Yahweh, their God. So he allowed Sisera, the commander of the army from Hazor, to defeat them. He also allowed the Philistines and the army of the king of Moab to fight our ancestors and defeat them.
10 Anama hige'za ete Ra Anumzamofontega zavi krafa hu'za ana zankura zamasunku nehu'za anage hu'naze, tagra kumi huta Ra Anumzana atreta tamefi hunemita, Ba'ali havi anumzane, Astaroti havi anumzamofo amema'are monora hunteta eri'zana erinte'none. Hagi menina tagu'vazinka ha' vahetimofo zamazampintira tavaregeta kagritera monora huneganteta erizanka'a erigantamaneno.
Then our ancestors pleaded with Yahweh again to help them. They admitted, ‘Yahweh, we have sinned, and we have forsaken you. We have worshiped [idols that represent the god] Baal and [the goddess] Astarte. But if you rescue us from our enemies, we will worship you only.’
11 Anage hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a Gidionima, Bedama, Jeptama, nagri Samuelinagi huno hurantegeta, ha' vahe tamimofo zamazampintira tamagu'vazita tamaza hunketa, so'e huta mani'naze.
So Yahweh sent men such as Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and me to save you. And as a result, you did not have to worry about any enemies attacking you.
12 Hianagi kazageno Amori vahe kini ne' Nahasi'ma ha' eme huramante'za nehigeta, Ra Anumzamo kinitamia ko mani'neanagi nagrira nasamita, kinigu tavesie huta nantahige'naze.
“But now, when king Nahash of Ammon came [with his army] to attack you, [you were afraid. So], you [came to me, and] said, ‘We want a king to rule us,’ even though Yahweh was already your king!
13 E'ina hu'negu kini neku'ma hu'nazana ama'ne. Tamagrama nantahi ke'nazana, Ra Anumzamo'a ama'na ne' kinia neramiankino kegava huramantegahianki keho.
So now, look, here is the king whom you have chosen. You asked for a king, and Yahweh has now appointed a king for you.
14 Hagi tamagrane kinitaminema Ra Anumzamofonku'ma koro hunenteta, mono hunenteta eri'zama'a erinteta agoraga'a nemanita, agri kasegema amage'ma ante'nazana Anumzamo'a tamaza hanigeta tamagra knare huta manigahaze.
If you will revere Yahweh and if you serve him, and if you listen to what he says and obey what he commands, and if you and the king who rules over you do what Yahweh your God wants you to do, [(things will go well for you all/Yahweh will bless you)].
15 Hagi tamagrama Ra Anumzamofo tra kema ontahisazana, Ra Anumzamo'a tamagehe'ima ha'ma rezmante'neaza huno tamagri'enena hara reramantegahie.
But if you do not listen to what Yahweh says, if you disobey what he commands, then he will punish [MTY] you all, just as he punished our ancestors.
16 Hagi menina oti'neta Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagri tamavufima razama erifore hu'zama nehia zana keho.
“Now stand here quietly and see the great thing that Yahweh is about to do.
17 Hagi menina witima vasage knafi manunkeno, ko'ma ru kna zahufa ome'ne. Hianagi Ra Anumzana antahiga'nenkeno kopasina e'nerina, kora atre'nigeno eramigahie. E'inama hanigeta antahiama'ma hanazana Ra Anumzamofo avufina haviza huta kinia azeri otune huta antahigahaze.
You know that [RHQ] [it does not rain at this time of the year], during the time when you harvest wheat. But I will ask Yahweh to send thunder [and lightning] and rain today. When he does that, you will realize that Yahweh considers that you have done a very wicked thing by requesting a king.”
18 Hagi Samueli'a nunamu huno Ra Anumzamofona antahigegeno, ana zupa Ra Anumzamo'a atregeno monagea nehigeno, kora ru'ne. E'ina hige'za Ra Anumzamofone Samuelikiznigura miko vahe'mo'za tusi koro hu'naze.
Then Samuel prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused it to thunder [and lightning] and rain. So all the people became very afraid of Yahweh and of Samuel.
19 Hagi miko vahe'mo'za Samuelina antahige'za, tagrikura Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofontega nunamu hunka antahigegeno tahe ofrino. Na'ankure ko'ma hu'nona kumitimofo agofetura kinigu'ma antahigona zamo'a, mago'ane rama'a kumi hu'none.
They cried out to Samuel, “Pray for us! We have added to our previous sins by requesting a king! Pray to Yahweh, your God, in order that we will not die [because of having done that]!”
20 Hagi Samueli'a huno, Tamagra korora osiho, miko kumira hunazanagi, Ra Anumzana atreta tamagena huomiho. Hianagi maka tamagu'areti huta monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erinteho.
Samuel replied, “Do not be afraid! You have done this evil thing, but do not turn away from doing the things that Yahweh wants you to do. Instead, serve Yahweh wholeheartedly.
21 Hagi tamagra mago'a havi anumzantera rukrahera huta amagera ontegahaze. Zamagra amnezanki'za tamaza huge tamagura vazige osugahie.
Do not abandon [Yahweh] and worship useless idols. They cannot help you or save you [from your enemies], because they are truly useless.
22 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a vahe'a amagena huoramigahie. Na'ankure Agra'a ra agigu agesa nentahino, Agri'a vahe tamazeri retro hugahie.
Yahweh decided to make us his people. So he will not abandon us people whom he has chosen, because he would injure his own reputation [of being completely faithful] if he did that.
23 Hagi nagra mago'ane Ra Anumzamofontega tamagriku hu'na nunamuma huvava nehua zana otregosue. Ru atresu'na Ra Anumzamofontera kumi hugahue. Ana nehu'na fatgo huno knare'ma hu'nea avu'ava'mofo nanekea rempi huramigahie
But as for me, I have solemnly promised that I will not sin against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you what things are good and right [for you to do].
24 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ra zankrefama huramante'nea zanku tamagesa nentahita, koro hunteta tamage huta tamagu'areti monora hunenteta eri'zama'a erinteho.
But you must revere Yahweh and serve him wholeheartedly. Never forget all the great things that he has done for you.
25 Hagi tamagrama kumi'ma huta vanazana, ti hageno miko'za erino viaza huno miko tamagri'ene kini ne' taminena harafi huno vanigeta, vahe kokampi kazokazo vahe umanigahaze.
But if you keep doing wicked things, he will get rid of you and your king!”
