1 Hagi Samueli'ma ozafama nereno'a keaga refakoma hu kva vahera nemofokizni huhampri zanante'ne.
And it happened that, when Samuel had become old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
2 Hagi ese ne' mofavre'mofo agi'a, Joeli'e. Hanki henka ne'mofo agi'a, Abija'e. Zanagra Berseba kumate keaga refako hu kva vahetre mani'na'e.
Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of the second was Abijah: judges at Beersheba.
3 Hianagi ana netremokea neznafa'ma hu'neaza huke kva eri'zana e'ori'na'e. Zanagra tamage huke eri'zana e'orina'anki, havi kazigati oku'a zagoreti'ma masavema zanamiza hazankaziga anteke keaga refko huke zamaza hu'na'e.
But his sons did not walk in his ways. Instead, they turned aside, pursuing avarice. And they accepted bribes, and they perverted judgment.
4 Ana'ma hake'za miko Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za eri hantage'za Samuelinte Rama kumate vu'za,
Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel, having gathered together, went to Samuel at Ramah.
5 amanage ome hu'naze, Kagra hago ozafare'nane, tare negamofokea kagrama nehanaza huke eri'zana e'ori'anki, mago'a kumapi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hunka kini huhamprintegeno tagrira kegava huranteno.
And they said to him: “Behold, you are elderly, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint for us a king, so that he may judge us, just as all the nations have.”
6 Hianagi kini vahe azeri otigeno kegava hurantenoma hu'za hazankegura Samueli'a musena osuno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna higeno,
And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, na'anema hu'za vahe'mo'za hanaza kante antenka amane anazana huo. Na'ankure zamagra kagri zamefira hunogamizanki, Nagri zamefira hunenami'za, Nagrikura kinitia omanisie hu'za nehaze.
Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.
8 Hagi Isipitima zamavare atiramina e'noregati anazana hu'za ne-eza Nagrira zamefi hunenami'za ru anumza avariri'za monora hunente'za eri'zama'a erinte'za e'nazanki'za, anahukna kagri'enena hunegantaze.
In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.
9 Hagi kagra ke zamia amage antenka kini ne' azeri otigeno, kegava huzmanteno. Hianagi kini ne'mo'ma kegavama huzmanteneno'ma maka avu'avazama huzmantesia zamofo nanekea zamasamio.
Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them.”
10 Higeno Samueli'a kini vaheku'ma eme antahigaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia nanekea miko zamasami vagare'ne
And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
11 Hagi Samueli'a zamasamino, Amanahu'za kinima manino kegava huramantesia ne'mo'a hugahie. Agra miko mofavretamia avreno hosi afu'ama eri'zama ha'ma ome hanaza vahe nezamanteno, karisima eri'za nevu'za ha'ma hu vahe zamavarentesige'za mago'amo'za agri karisimofo avuga ugote'za vugahaze.
And he said: “This will be the right of the king who will have authority over you: He will take your sons, and place them in his chariots. And he will make them his horsemen and his runners before his four-horse chariots.
12 Hagi mago'a zamavareno 1tauseni'a sondia vahete kva nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno 50'a sondia vahe kva vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno hozama erino ante vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno hozama hamare vahe nezamanteno, mago'a vahera zamavareno ha'zane kevema trohu vahe nezmanteno, mago'a zamavareno karisimofo mikazama tro hu vahe zamantegahie.
And he will appoint them to be his tribunes and centurions, and the plowmen of his fields, and the harvesters of the grain, and the makers of his weapons and chariots.
13 Hagi mofa'netamia mago'a zamavareno mananentake zama retro'ma hanagu nezamateno, mago'a zamavareno ne'zama kre vahe nezamanteno, mago'a zamavareno bretima kre vahe zamantegahie.
Likewise, your daughters he will take for himself as makers of ointments, and as cooks and bakers.
14 Hagi knare hu'nenia witi hozama, knarema hunenia waini hozama, knare'ma hunenia olivi hozanena erino agra'a eri'za vahe zamigahie.
Also, he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.
15 Hagi 10ni'a kevuma witine wainima ante'nenafintira mago kevu erino eri'zama'a kegava nehaza vahe'ane eri'za vahe'a zamigahie.
Moreover, he will take one tenth of your grain and of the results of your vineyards, so that he may give these to his eunuchs and servants.
16 Anahunkna huno ve kazokzo eri'za vahe'ene a' kazokzo eri'za vahe'ene, hanave nehazavene, knare'ma hu'nenia donkiramine bulimakaotamia zamavareno agra'a eri'za kante zamantegahie.
Then, too, he will take your servants, and handmaids, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and he will set them to his work.
17 Hagi agra 10ni'a bulimakao afu kevu ante'nesafintira mago kevua agra nevreno, tamagria kazokzo eri'za vahe tamavrentegahie.
Also, he will take a tenth of your flocks. And you will be his servants.
18 Hagi ana'ma hanigeta Ra Anumzamofona krafage hunteta tamagrama huhampri'naza kini ne'mofo azampintira tazahunka tavro huta nunamuna hugahazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a tamaza osugahie.
And you will cry out, in that day, from the face of the king, whom you have chosen for yourselves. And the Lord will not heed you, in that day. For you requested a king for yourselves.”
19 Anagema Samueli'ma hige'za, ana ke'a ontahi'za zamagra hu'za, tagrira kini ne'mo kegava hurante'niegu tave'sie.
But the people were not willing to listen to the voice of Samuel. Instead, they said: “By no means! For there shall be a king over us,
20 E'ina hanigeta ruga'a kumate vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta kinimofo kvafi mani'nunkeno agra'a vugota huranteno, hatera tavreno vugahie.
and we shall be just like all the Gentiles. And our king will judge us, and he will go out before us, and he will fight our wars for us.”
21 Hagi ana miko kema hazana Samueli'a antahiteno ana miko kea Ra Anumzamofo ome asami'ne.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them to the ears of the Lord.
22 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Samuelina asami'ne, zamagri ke antahinka mago kini zamio. Anage higeno Samueli'a miko vahera huzmantege'za kuma'zamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king over them.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Let each one go to his own city.”
