1 Samoela 8
1 Ie nigain-kantetse t’i Samoele, le nanoe’e mpizaka’ Israele o ana-dahi’eo.
And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Ty tahina’ i tañoloñoloña’ey le Ioele; i Abià ty faharoe; nizaka e Be’er-sevà ao iereo.
And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
3 Fe tsy nañorike o sata’eo i ana’e rey, te mone nivike mb’an-dRavola naho nandrambe vokàñe vaho nolahe’ iareo ty hatò.
And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgements.
4 Nifanontoñe amy zao o mpiaolo’ Israele iabio vaho niheo mb’ amy Samoele e Ramà mb’eo
And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
5 nanao ty hoe ama’e: Oniño te bey irehe vaho tsy mañorike o lia’oo o ana’oo; aa le añorizo mpanjaka hizaka anay manahake o kilakila ‘ndatio.
and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
6 Fe tsy ninò’ i Samoele zay, ty enta’ iareo ty hoe: Itoloro mpanjaka hizaka. Le nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Samoele.
And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele: Haoño ty fiarañanaña’ ondatio amo hene nisaontsia’ iareoo; ie tsy namorintseñe azo, toe Izaho ty napo’ iareo tsy ho mpanjaka’ iareo.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
8 Hambañ’ amo fitoloña’ iareo sikal’ amy nañakarako amy Mitsraime añe pake henanekeo, ie namorintseñe ahy naho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e, ty hanoe’ iareo ama’o ka.
According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
9 Ie amy zao, haoño ty fiarañanaña’ iareo, f’ie hatahatao vaho taroño o satam-pifeheam-panjaka’ iareoo.
And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
10 Aa le tinaro’ i Samoele am’ondaty nipay mpanjaka ama’e iabio i tsara’ Iehovà zay.
And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
11 Le hoe re: Zao ty ho sata’ o mpanjaka hamelek’ anahareoo: ho rambese’e o ana-dahi’ areoo, le ho tendrè’e ho aze naho ho a o sarete’eo naho ho mpiningi-tsoavala’e vaho ho mpilay aolo’ o sarete’eo.
And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and amongst his horsemen, and running before his chariots,
12 Le ho tendrè’e ty mpifelek’ arivo naho ty mpifehe limampolo hiava i tete’ey naho hanatake i voka’ey, vaho handranjy o fialia’eo naho o haraon-tsarete’eo.
and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.
13 Ho rambese’e ka o anak’ ampela’ areoo ho mpanao rano mañitse, ho mpanokoñe vaho mpanoñake.
And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
14 Ho rambese’e ka o tete’ areoo naho o tanembahe’ areoo naho o golobon’ olive’ areoo, o soa ama’eo, le hatolo’e amo mpitoro’eo.
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
15 Hampandiva’e anahareo ty faha-folo’ ty tabiri’ areo, naho o tanem-bahe’ areoo vaho hatolo’e amo mpifehe’eo naho o mpitoro’eo.
And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
16 Ho rambese’e o mpitoro’ areo lahilahio, naho o anak’ ampata’ areoo naho ze volovoloeñe amo ajalahi’ areoo naho o borìkeo hampitoroñe’e amo fitoloña’eo.
And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
17 Hampandivà’e ty ampahafolo’ o lia-rai’ areoo vaho hinjare mpitoro’e nahareo.
And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
18 Le hikoihe’ areo amy andro zay i mpanjaka nijoboñe’ areoy, fe tsy hanoiñe t’Iehovà.
And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
19 Fa nifoneñe tsy hañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ i Samoele ondatio; le hoe iereo: Aiy! fa ho fehè’ i mpanjakay zahay;
But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
20 soa te ho hambañ’ amo kilakila’ ndatio; le hizaka anay ty mpanjaka’ay naho hionjoñe aolo’ay vaho hialy amo fihotakotaha’aio.
An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 Jinanji’ i Samoele ze hene enta’ ondato le nisaontsie’e an-dravembia’ Iehovà,
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
22 vaho hoe t’Iehovà amy Samoele: Haoño avao ty fiarañanaña’ iareo le anendreo mpanjaka. Aa le hoe t’i Samoele amo ana’ Israeleo: Akia songa mb’ an-drova’e mb’eo.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
