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 the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they judged in Beer-sheba.
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 walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
4 Nifanontoñe amy zao o mpiaolo’ Israele iabio vaho niheo mb’ amy Samoele e Ramà mb’eo
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
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 said to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now appoint us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
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 displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah.
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 Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign 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 the deeds that they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9 Ie amy zao, haoño ty fiarañanaña’ iareo, f’ie hatahatao vaho taroño o satam-pifeheam-panjaka’ iareoo.
And now hearken unto their voice; only, testify solemnly unto them, and declare unto them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10 Aa le tinaro’ i Samoele am’ondaty nipay mpanjaka ama’e iabio i tsara’ Iehovà zay.
And Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that 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 will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, on his chariot and among his horsemen, and they shall run 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 [he will take them] that he may appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties, and that they may plough his ground, and reap his harvest, and make his instruments of war and instruments 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 for 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 your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give 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 tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains 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 bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest young men, and your asses, and use them for his work.
17 Hampandivà’e ty ampahafolo’ o lia-rai’ areoo vaho hinjare mpitoro’e nahareo.
He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants.
18 Le hikoihe’ areo amy andro zay i mpanjaka nijoboñe’ areoy, fe tsy hanoiñe t’Iehovà.
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day.
19 Fa nifoneñe tsy hañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ i Samoele ondatio; le hoe iereo: Aiy! fa ho fehè’ i mpanjakay zahay;
And the people refused to hearken to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, 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.
that we also may be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and conduct our wars.
21 Jinanji’ i Samoele ze hene enta’ ondato le nisaontsie’e an-dravembia’ Iehovà,
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the ears of Jehovah.
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 Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.
