1 Samue 8
1 Hagi Samueli'ma ozafama nereno'a keaga refakoma hu kva vahera nemofokizni huhampri zanante'ne.
When Samuel became old, he appointed his two sons, Joel and Abijah, to lead/rule the people of 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.
They judged people’s disputes/cases in Beersheba [town].
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 they were not like their father. They wanted only to get a lot of money. They accepted bribes, and they did not make honest decisions about people’s disputes/cases.
4 Ana'ma hake'za miko Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za eri hantage'za Samuelinte Rama kumate vu'za,
Finally, the Israeli leaders met at Ramah [town to discuss the matter] with Samuel.
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.
They said to him, “Listen! You are now old, and your sons are not like you. Appoint a king to rule over us, like the kings that other countries have!”
6 Hianagi kini vahe azeri otigeno kegava hurantenoma hu'za hazankegura Samueli'a musena osuno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna higeno,
Samuel was very unhappy with them for requesting that, so he prayed to Yahweh about it.
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.
Yahweh replied, “Do what they have requested you to do. But ([do not think/the truth is not]) that you are the one whom they are really rejecting. I have been their king, and I am the one they are really rejecting.
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.
Ever since I brought them out of Egypt, they have rejected me, and they have worshiped other gods. And now they are also rejecting you in the same way.
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.
Do what they are asking you to do. But warn/tell them about how their kings will act toward them!”
10 Higeno Samueli'a kini vaheku'ma eme antahigaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia nanekea miko zamasami vagare'ne
So Samuel told those people what Yahweh had said.
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.
He said, “If a king rules over you, this is what he will do to you: He will force many of your sons to join the army. He will make [some of] them run in front of his chariots [to clear people out of his way].
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.
[Some of] them will be commanders of his soldiers, but others will work for him like slaves. He will force some of them to plow his fields and [then later] harvest his crops. He will force others to make his weapons and equipment for his 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.
The king will take [some of] your daughters [from you and force them] to make perfumes for him and cook food for him and bake [bread for him].
14 Hagi knare hu'nenia witi hozama, knarema hunenia waini hozama, knare'ma hunenia olivi hozanena erino agra'a eri'za vahe zamigahie.
He will take your best fields and vineyards and olive tree groves/orchards, and give them to his own officials.
15 Hagi 10ni'a kevuma witine wainima ante'nenafintira mago kevu erino eri'zama'a kegava nehaza vahe'ane eri'za vahe'a zamigahie.
He will take a tenth of your harvests and distribute it among the officers and servants [who work in] his [palace].
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.
He will take from you your male and female servants, your best cattle and donkeys, and force them to work for him.
17 Hagi agra 10ni'a bulimakao afu kevu ante'nesafintira mago kevua agra nevreno, tamagria kazokzo eri'za vahe tamavrentegahie.
He will take one tenth of your sheep and goats. And you will become his slaves!
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.
When that time comes, you will complain loudly to the king, the king that you yourselves have chosen, but Yahweh will not (pay attention to/help) you.”
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 refused to pay attention to what Samuel said. They said, “We do not [care what you say]! We want a king!
20 E'ina hanigeta ruga'a kumate vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta kinimofo kvafi mani'nunkeno agra'a vugota huranteno, hatera tavreno vugahie.
We want to be like the other nations. We want a king to rule us and to lead our soldiers when they go to fight.”
21 Hagi ana miko kema hazana Samueli'a antahiteno ana miko kea Ra Anumzamofo ome asami'ne.
When Samuel told Yahweh what the people had said,
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.
Yahweh replied, “Do what they are telling you to do. Give them a king!” [So Samuel agreed], and then he sent the people home.
