1 Samuele 8
1 Tango Samuele akomaki mobange, aponaki bana na ye ya mibali mpo ete bazala basambisi kati na Isalaele.
When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
2 Kombo ya mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali ezalaki « Joeli, » mpe ya mibale, « Abiya. » Bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na Beri-Sheba,
(And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.
3 kasi batambolaki te na nzela ya Samuele, tata na bango: bamipesaki na lokoso ya mbongo, na kozwaka kanyaka mpe na kokataka makambo na bosembo te.
And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.
4 Mpo na yango, bakambi nyonso ya mabota ya Isalaele basanganaki elongo mpe bakendeki epai ya Samuele, na Rama.
Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
5 Balobaki na ye: « Tala, yo okomi na yo mobange, mpe bana na yo ya mibali bazali kotambola te na banzela na yo. Sik’oyo, pona mokonzi oyo akokamba biso ndenge ezali na bikolo nyonso. »
And said vnto him, Beholde, thou art olde, and thy sonnes walke not in thy wayes: make vs nowe a King to iudge vs like all nations.
6 Kasi tango balobaki: « Pesa biso mokonzi oyo akokamba biso, » Samuele asepelaki na likambo yango te; boye asambelaki Yawe.
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
7 Mpe Yawe azongiselaki Samuele: « Yoka makambo nyonso oyo bato bazali koloba na yo. Ezali yo te nde basundoli, kasi basundoli nde Ngai lokola Mokonzi na bango.
And the Lord said vnto Samuel, Heare the voyce of the people in all that they shall say vnto thee: for they haue not cast thee away, but they haue cast me away, that I should not reigne ouer the.
8 Bazali kosala yo ndenge kaka basalaki Ngai, banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki bango na Ejipito kino lelo: basundolaki Ngai mpe basalelaki banzambe mosusu.
As they haue euer done since I brought them out of Egypt euen vnto this day, (and haue forsaken me, and serued other gods) euen so doe they vnto thee.
9 Sik’oyo, yoka bango; kasi kebisa bango malamu mpe yebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi oyo akokonza bango akobanda kosala. »
Nowe therefore hearken vnto their voyce: howbeit yet testifie vnto them, and shewe them the maner of ye King that shall reigne ouer them.
10 Samuele ayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki kosenga ye mokonzi maloba nyonso ya Yawe.
So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.
11 Alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo mokonzi oyo akokonza bino akobanda kosala: Akozwa bana na bino ya mibali mpe akotia bango na mosala ya kokumba bashar na ye kati na basoda na ye oyo babundaka na bampunda; bakobanda kokima mbangu liboso ya shar na ye lokola bakengeli ya mokonzi.
And he saide, This shall be the maner of the King that shall reigne ouer you: he will take your sonnes, and appoint them to his charets, and to be his horsemen, and some shall runne before his charet.
12 Akotia bamoko, bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda; bamosusu, bakonzi ya basoda tuku mitano; bamosusu, akotia bango na mosala ya kobalola mabele ya bilanga na ye, kobuka bambuma na ye mpe kosalela ye bibundeli ya bitumba mpe bisalelo mpo na bashar na ye.
Also he will make them his captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer fifties, and to eare his ground, and to reape his haruest, and to make instruments of warre, and the thinges that serue for his charets.
13 Akokamata bana na bino ya basi mpo ete basalaka malasi, balambaka bilei mpe mapa.
He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.
14 Akokamata bilanga na bino ya vino mpe ya olive oyo eleki kitoko, mpe akopesa yango epai ya basali na ye.
And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.
15 Akokamata eteni ya zomi ya milona na bino mpe ya bilanga na bino ya vino, mpe akopesa yango epai ya kalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe epai ya basali na ye.
And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.
16 Bongo, kati na basali na bino ya mibali, basali na bino ya basi, bilenge na bino mpe ba-ane na bino, akokamata ba-oyo baleki kitoko mpo na misala na ye.
And he will take your men seruants, and your maide seruants, and the chiefe of your yong men, and your asses, and put them to his worke.
17 Akokamata eteni ya zomi ya bameme na bino, mpe bino moko bokokoma bawumbu na ye.
He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
18 Bongo na mokolo wana, tango bokobanda kolelalela mpo na mokonzi oyo bino moko bokomiponela, na mokolo yango, Yawe akoyanola bino ata moke te.
And ye shall crie out at that day, because of your King, whom ye haue chosen you, and the Lord will not heare you at that day.
19 Kasi bato baboyaki koyokela Samuele, balobaki: — Te! Biso tolingi kaka mokonzi.
But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.
20 Na bongo, biso mpe tokozala lokola bikolo mosusu. Mokonzi na biso akokamba biso, akobima liboso na biso mpe akotambolisa biso na bitumba.
And we also will be like all other nations, and our King shall iudge vs, and goe out before vs, and fight our battels.
21 Tango Samuele ayokaki maloba nyonso ya bato, amemaki yango liboso ya Yawe.
Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.
22 Mpe Yawe alobaki na Samuele: « Yokela bango mpe pesa bango mokonzi! » Bongo Samuele alobaki na bato ya Isalaele: « Tika ete moto na moto azonga na engumba na ye! »
And the Lord saide to Samuel, Hearken vnto their voyce, and make them a King. And Samuel said vnto the men of Israel, Goe euery man vnto his citie.
