Sie Samuel 12

1 Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Nga oru tari ma kowos siyuk sik nga in oru. Nga sot nu suwos sie tokosra in leum fowos,

And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.

2 ac inge el pa ac kol kowos. Funu nga, nga matuoh ac fiaya, ac wen nutik eltal muta yuruwos. Nga tuh mwet kol lowos ke nga fusr ah me nwe misenge.

And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day.

3 Ac inge, nga pa inge. Fin oasr kutena ma nga oru sufal nu suwos, kowos in tukakinyu inge ye mutun LEUM GOD ac ye mutun tokosra se inge su El sulela. Ya oasr pacl nga eisla cow ku donkey nutin sie suwos? Ya oasr pacl nga kutasrik ku akkeokye sie suwos? Ya oasr pacl nga tia oru nununku suwohs ke sripen sie mwet el moli nu sik? Fin oasr mwetik ke sie sin lumah inge, nga ac akfalye nu suwos.”

Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.

4 Na mwet uh elos topuk ac fahk, “Mo, kom tiana kiapwekut ku akkeokye kut. Wanginna ma kom eisla sin sie sesr.”

And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.

5 Ac Samuel el fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD ac tokosra se su El sulela inge elos mwet loh kac misenge lah wangin ma nga sufalla kac.” Ac elos fahk, “Pwaye, LEUM GOD pa orek loh kacsr uh.”

And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] said, [He is] witness!

6 Samuel el sifil tafwela ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa tuh sulella Moses ac Aaron, ac El pa use mwet matu lowos liki facl Egypt.

And Samuel said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

7 Inge kowos tu na acn kowos tu we an, ac nga ac fah fahkkowosyak ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac akesmakinye kowos ke orekma ku su LEUM GOD El oru in molikowosla ac oayapa mwet matu lowos.

And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers.

8 Ke Jacob ac sou lal tuh som muta in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos tuh akkeokyalos, na mwet matu lowos elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan kasrelos. Na God El supwalla Moses ac Aaron, su usalosme liki facl Egypt ac sang tuh elos in muta in facl se inge.

When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

9 Tuh pa mwet uh mulkunulla LEUM GOD lalos. Ke ma inge El fuhlela tuh mwet Philistia, ac tokosra lun facl Moab, ac Sisera su mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lun siti Hazor, elos in mweun lain mwet matu lowos ac kutangulosla.

And they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

10 Na elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, ‘Kut orekma koluk, mweyen kut forla liki kom, LEUM GOD, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lal Baal ac Astarte. Molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr, ac kut fah alu nu sum.’

And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11 Na LEUM GOD El supwalma Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, ac nga, Samuel. Kais sie sesr tuh molikowosla liki mwet lokoalok lowos, ac kowos moul in misla.

And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.

12 Na ke kowos liye tuh Tokosra Nahash lun mwet Ammon el apkuran in mweuni kowos, kowos tuku fahk nu sik, ‘Kut lungse sie tokosra in leum facsr.’ Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos pilesralla LEUM GOD, su tokosra na pwaye lowos.

But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.

13 “Pa inge tokosra se su kowos sulela. Kowos tuh siyuk kac, ac inge LEUM GOD El eisalot nu suwos.

And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.

14 Ma nukewa ac fah fahsr wona kowos fin akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, ac kulansupal, porongal, ac akos ma sap lal, oayapa kowos ac tokosra lowos fin fahsr tukun God.

If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.

15 A kowos fin tia porongo LEUM GOD, ac tia akos ma sap lal, El ac fah lain kowos ac tokosra lowos an.

But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.

16 Ke ma inge, kowos tu yen kowos tu we an, ac liye ma sakirik se su LEUM GOD El ac oru inge.

Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.

17 Pacl in wangin af pa inge, pwaye? Liye, nga ac fah pre, ac LEUM GOD El ac fah supwama pulahl ac af. Ke ac sikyak ma inge, na kowos fah akilen lah kowos orala sie ma koluk lulap lain LEUM GOD ke kowos tuh siyuk sel ke sie tokosra.”

Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king.

18 Na Samuel el pre, ac in len sac LEUM GOD El supweya pulahl ac af. Na mwet nukewa elos sangeng sin LEUM GOD ac sel Samuel,

And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

19 ac elos fahk nu sel Samuel, “Nunak munas, pre nu sin LEUM GOD lom kacsr, tuh kut in tia misa. Inge kalem sesr lah sayen ma koluk puspis pac lasr, kut oayapa oru ma koluk se inge ke kut siyuk tuh in oasr sie tokosra lasr.”

And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.

20 Ac Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nimet kowos sangeng kowos finne oru ma koluk yohk se inge. Kowos in tia forla liki LEUM GOD, a kowos in kulansupal ke insiowos kewa.

And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;

21 Nik kowos fahsr tukun god lusrongten. Elos tia ku in kasrekowos, ku molikowosla, mweyen elos tia ma pwaye.

and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

22 LEUM GOD El orala tari sie wulela mutal, ac El fah tia siskowosla, mweyen El sulela tari tuh El ac fah oru tuh kowos in sie mutunfacl nu sel sifacna.

For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.

23 A funu keik, LEUM GOD Elan tia lela tuh nga in oru ma koluk lainul ke nga ac tia sifil pre keiwos. Nga fah luti kowos ma wo ac ma suwohs kowos in oru.

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way.

24 Kowos in akos LEUM GOD ac oaru in kulansupal ke insiowos nufon. Esam orekma yohk nukewa El oru nu suwos.

Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.

25 A kowos fin sifilpa oru ma koluk, na kowos oayapa tokosra lowos an ac fah kunausyukla.”

But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
