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.
Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges 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 judgment.
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 unto 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 unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make 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.
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto 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 unto 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 works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith 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.
Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew 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 told all the words of the LORD unto 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, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] 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 appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to 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 [to be] confectionaries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] 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 oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], 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 tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, 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 menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to 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 which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
19 Fa nifoneñe tsy hañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ i Samoele ondatio; le hoe iereo: Aiy! fa ho fehè’ i mpanjakay zahay;
Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have 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 that our king may judge us, and 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 he rehearsed 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, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
