1 शमुवेल 8
And it happened that, when Samuel had become old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
2 २ त्याच्या प्रथम जन्मलेल्या मुलाचे नाव योएल व दुसऱ्याचे नाव अबीया असे होते; बैर-शेबा येथे ते न्यायाधीश होते.
Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of the second was Abijah: judges at Beersheba.
3 ३ परंतु त्याचे पुत्र त्याच्या मार्गाने चालत नसत, तर ते अप्रामाणिक लाभांच्या पाठीमागे लागले होते. ते लाच घेऊन विपरीत न्याय करीत असत.
But his sons did not walk in his ways. Instead, they turned aside, pursuing avarice. And they accepted bribes, and they perverted judgment.
Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel, having gathered together, went to Samuel at Ramah.
5 ५ आणि ते त्यास म्हणाले, “पाहा तुम्ही वयोवृद्ध झाले आहात आणि तुमचे पुत्र तुमच्या मार्गाने चालत नाहीत. आता सर्व राष्ट्रांप्रमाणे आमचा न्याय करायला आम्हावर राजा नेमा.”
And they said to him: “Behold, you are elderly, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint for us a king, so that he may judge us, just as all the nations have.”
6 ६ परंतु, “आमचा न्याय करायला आम्हांला राजा द्या,” असे जे त्यांनी म्हटले, त्याबद्दल शमुवेलाला वाईट वाटले. म्हणून शमुवेलाने परमेश्वराकडे प्रार्थना केली.
And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 ७ तेव्हा परमेश्वराने शमुवेलास म्हटले, “लोक सांगतात त्या सर्वबाबतीत तू त्यांचा शब्द ऐक; कारण त्यांनी तुला नाकारले नाही, तर मला नाकारले आहे.
Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.
8 ८ मी त्यांना मिसरातून वर आणले त्या दिवसापासून आजपर्यंत जी सर्व कामे त्यांनी केली त्याप्रमाणे त्यांनी हे केले आहे, मला सोडून अन्य देवाची सेवा त्यांनी केली, आणि तसेच त्यांनी तुझ्याशी केले आहे.”
In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.
9 ९ तर आता त्यांचे ऐक; तथापि तू त्याच्याशी खडसावून बोल आणि जो राजा त्याच्यावर राज्य करील त्याची रीत त्यांना समजावून सांग.
Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them.”
And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
11 ११ तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “जो राजा तुम्हावर राज्य करील त्याची रीत अशी होईल; तो तुमचे पुत्र घेऊन आपल्या रथांसाठी व आपले घोडेस्वार होण्यासाठी ठेवील आणि त्याच्या रथांपुढे ते धावतील.
And he said: “This will be the right of the king who will have authority over you: He will take your sons, and place them in his chariots. And he will make them his horsemen and his runners before his four-horse chariots.
12 १२ तो त्यांना आपले हजारांचे सरदार नेमून ठेवील. जमीन नांगरायला, आपली पिके कापायला, आणि आपली लढाईची शस्त्रे व आपली रथांची शस्त्रे करायला ठेवील.
And he will appoint them to be his tribunes and centurions, and the plowmen of his fields, and the harvesters of the grain, and the makers of his weapons and chariots.
13 १३ तो तुमच्या मुली सुगंधी द्रव्ये तयार करणाऱ्या, स्वयंपाकिणी, आणि भटारखान्यात काम करणाऱ्या होण्यास घेईल.
Likewise, your daughters he will take for himself as makers of ointments, and as cooks and bakers.
14 १४ तुमची जी उत्तम ती शेते, तुमचे द्राक्षमळे, आणि तुमचे जैतूनाचे मळे घेऊन, ते तो त्याच्या चाकरांना देईल.
Also, he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.
Moreover, he will take one tenth of your grain and of the results of your vineyards, so that he may give these to his eunuchs and servants.
Then, too, he will take your servants, and handmaids, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and he will set them to his work.
Also, he will take a tenth of your flocks. And you will be his servants.
18 १८ त्यानंतर तुम्ही आपणासाठी निवडलेल्या राजामुळे ओरडाल; परंतु परमेश्वर त्या दिवसात तुम्हास उत्तर देणार नाही.”
And you will cry out, in that day, from the face of the king, whom you have chosen for yourselves. And the Lord will not heed you, in that day. For you requested a king for yourselves.”
But the people were not willing to listen to the voice of Samuel. Instead, they said: “By no means! For there shall be a king over us,
20 २० म्हणजे आम्ही इतर सर्व राष्ट्रांसारखे होऊ, आणि आमचा राजा आमचा न्याय करील व आम्हापुढे चालून आमच्या लढाया लढेल.”
and we shall be just like all the Gentiles. And our king will judge us, and he will go out before us, and he will fight our wars for us.”
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them to the ears of the Lord.
22 २२ मग तेव्हा परमेश्वर शमुवेलाशी बोलला, “तू त्यांचा शब्द ऐकून त्याच्यांवर राज्य करायला राजा नेमून ठेव.” तेव्हा शमुवेल इस्राएलाच्या मनुष्यांना म्हणाला, “तुम्ही प्रत्येकजण आपापल्या नगरास परत जा.”
Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king over them.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Let each one go to his own city.”
