1 Samoela 8

1 Ary rehefa antitra Samoela, dia ny zanany no nataony mpitsara ny Isiraely.

When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.

2 Ary Joela no anaran’ ny lahimatoany, ary Abia no anaran’ ny faralahiny; mpitsara tany Beri-sheba izy ireo.

(And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba.

3 Nefa ny zanany tsy nanaraka ny dian-drainy, fa nivily nitady vola aman-karena ka nandray kolikoly sy nanao fitsarana miangatra.

And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement.

4 Ary ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra nivory tao Rama ho any amin’ i Samoela

Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,

5 ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, efa antitra ianao, ary ny zanakao tsy manaraka ny dianao; koa manendre mpanjaka ho anay hitsara anay, tahaka ny firenena rehetra.

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 Fa tsy sitrak’ i Samoela ny nanaovan’ ny olona hoe: Omeo mpanjaka izahay hitsara anay. Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Samoela.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.

7 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Henoy ihany ny tenin’ ny olona amin’ izany rehetra lazainy aminao; fa tsy ianao no laviny, fa Izaho no laviny tsy hanjaka aminy.

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 Araka ny asa rehetra izay nataony hatramin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany Egypta ka mandraka androany, dia ny nahafoizany Ahy sy ny nanompoany andriamani-kafa, dia toy izany koa no ataony aminao.

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 Ary ankehitriny henoy ihany ny teniny, kanefa lazao aminy marimarina, ka asehoy azy ny ho fanaon’ ny mpanjaka izay hanjaka aminy.

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 Dia nambaran’ i Samoela tamin’ ny olona izay nangataka mpanjaka taminy ny teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah.

So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him.

11 Ary hoy izy: Izao no ho fanaon’ ny mpanjaka izay hanjaka aminareo: Ny zanakareo-lahy dia halainy ka hotendreny ho amin’ ny kalesiny sy ho mpitaingin-tsoavaliny ary hihazakazaka eo alohan’ ny kalesiny,

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 ary hotendreny ho mpifehy arivo sy ho mpifehy dimam-polo, ary hiasa ny taniny sy hijinja ny vokany ary hanao ny fiadiany sy ny fanaka momba ny kalesiny;

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 ary ny zanakareo-vavy dia halainy ho mpangaroharo zava-manitra ary ho mpahandro sy mpanao mofo;

He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers.

14 ary ny tsara indrindra amin’ ny sahanareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo sy ny tanin’ olivanareo dia halainy ka homeny ho an’ ny mpanompony;

And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants.

15 ary ny ampahafolon’ ny voan-javatrareo sy ny tanim-boalobokareo dia halainy ka homeny ho an’ ny tandapany sy ny tandonany.

And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants.

16 Ary ny ankizilahinareo sy ny ankizivavinareo sy ny zatovonareo tsara indrindra ary ny borikinareo dia halainy ka hampanaoviny ny asany.

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 Ary halainy koa ny ampahafolon’ ny ondry aman’ osinareo; ary ny tenanareo ho tonga mpanompony.

He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.

18 Ary hitaraina amin’ izany andro izany ianareo noho ny mpanjakanareo izay nofidinareo ho anareo, fa Jehovah tsy hamaly anareo amin’ izany andro izany.

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 Kanefa tsy nety nihaino ny tenin’ i Samoela ny olona, fa hoy izy: Tsia, fa aoka ihany hisy mpanjaka hanjaka aminay,

But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs.

20 mba ho tahaka ny firenena rehetra koa izahay, ka ny mpanjakanay hitsara anay sy hivoaka eo alohanay ary hitarika ny adinay.

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 Ary ren’ i Samoela ny teny rehetra nolazain’ ny olona, ka dia nolazainy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah kosa.

Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord.

22 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Samoela: Henoy ny teniny ka manendre mpanjaka ho azy. Dia hoy Samoela tamin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely: Samia ary mandeha ho any amin’ ny tanànanareo avy ianareo rehetra.

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.
