1 Samuels 8
1 Då Samuel vart gamall, sette han sønerne sine til domarar i Israel.
And it was when he was old Samuel and he made sons his judges for Israel.
2 Fyrstefødde son hans heitte Joel, andre son hans Abia; dei heldt dom i Be’erseba.
And it was [the] name of son his the firstborn Joel and [the] name of second his [was] Abijah judges in Beer Sheba.
3 Men sønerne fylgde ikkje hans fotefar; dei let seg lokka av låk vinning og tok mutor, og rengde retten.
And not they walked sons his (in ways his *Q(K)*) and they turned aside after unjust gain and they took a bribe and they turned aside justice.
4 Alle dei øvste i Israel samla seg då og kom til Samuel i Rama.
And they gathered together all [the] elders of Israel and they came to Samuel Ramah towards.
5 Dei sagde til honom: «Sjå, du hev vorte gamall, og sønerne dine fylgjer ikkje dine fotefar. So set no ein konge yver oss til å skifta rett, liksom alle dei hine folki hev!»
And they said to him here! you you have become old and sons your not they have walked in ways your now appoint! for us a king to judge us like all the nations.
6 Men Samuel mislika dette, at dei sagde: «Gjev oss ein konge til å skilja trættorne våre!» Og Samuel bad til Herren.
And it was displeasing the matter in [the] eyes of Samuel just when they said give! to us a king to judge us and he prayed Samuel to Yahweh.
7 Men Herren sagde til Samuel: «Lyd folkekravet! Ikkje deg hev dei vanda; meg hev dei vanda, og vil ikkje hava meg til konge lenger.
And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to [the] voice of the people to all what they will say to you for not you they have rejected for me they have rejected from reigning over them.
8 Liksom dei hev fare åt alle dagar frå den tid eg førde deim upp frå Egyptarland, då dei snudde ryggen til meg og tente andre gudar; soleis fer dei ogso åt mot deg.
According to all the deeds which they have done from [the] day brought up I them from Egypt and until the day this and they have forsaken me and they have served gods other so they [are] doing also to you.
9 Lyd kravet deira! Men vara deim ålvorleg, og seg kva rett ein konge tek seg når han rikjer yver deim!»
And now listen to voice their nevertheless for certainly you will warn them and you will tell to them [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over them.
10 Og Samuel fortalde til folket som kravde ein konge av honom, alt det Herren hadde sagt.
And he spoke Samuel all [the] words of Yahweh to the people who were asking from with him a king.
11 Han sagde: «Dette tek han seg rett til, den kongen som kjem til å rikja yver dykk: Sønerne dykkar vil han taka og bruka framfor vognerne og hestarne sine, so dei lyt springa framfyre vognerne;
And he said this it will be [the] right[s] of the king who he will reign over you sons your he will take and he will appoint [them] for himself in chariot[s] his and among horsemen his and they will run before chariot his.
12 sume vil han setja til førarar og underførarar for herflokkerne sine; sume vil han setja til å pløgja åkerjordi si og til å gjera skurdonni og laga krigsvåpni sine og køyregreidorne sine;
And to appoint [them] for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties and to plow plowing his and to harvest harvest his and to make [the] weapons of warfare his and [the] equipment of chariotry his.
13 og døtterne dykkar vil han taka til å laga kryddesalve og til å koka og baka.
And daughters your he will take to perfumers and to cooks and to bakers.
14 Dei beste åkrarne og vinhagarne og oljeplantingarne dykkar vil han taka og gjeva åt tenarane sine.
And fields your and vineyards your and olive groves your good he will take and he will give [them] to servants his.
15 Han vil taka tiend av såjordi og vinhagarne dykkar og gjeva henne åt hirdmennerne og tenarane sine.
And seed your and vineyards your he will take a tenth and he will give [them] to officials his and to servants his.
16 Dessutan vil han taka tenestdrengjerne og tenestgjentorne dykkar og dei likaste unggutarne dykkar, og asni dykkar vil han taka og bruka i si eigi tenesta.
And [male] servants your and female servants your and young men your good and donkeys your he will take and he will use [them] for work his.
17 Av buskapen dykkar vil han taka tiend, og de lyt sjølve vera trælarne hans.
Flock[s] your he will take a tenth and you you will become of him servants.
18 Då vil de ropa til Herren for den kongen skuld som de sjølv hev valt dykk. Men då vil han ikkje svara dykk.»
And you will cry out in the day that because of king your whom you have chosen for yourselves and not he will answer Yahweh you in the day that.
19 Men folket vilde ikkje lyda Samuel; «Nei, » sagde dei, «so sanneleg vil me hava ein konge.
And they refused the people to listen to [the] voice of Samuel and they said No! for except a king he will be over us.
20 Me vil vera jamgode med alle dei hine folki; me vil hava ein konge til domar og til hovding yver heren i krig.»
And we will be also we like all the nations and he will judge us king our and he will go out before us and he will fight battles our.
21 Då Samuel høyrde alt det folket sagde, bar han det fram for Herren.
And he heard Samuel all [the] words of the people and he spoke them in [the] ears of Yahweh.
22 Og Herren sagde til Samuel: «Lyd deim og set ein konge yver deim!» Då sagde Samuel til Israels-sønerne: «Far heim kvar til sin by!»
And he said Yahweh to Samuel listen to voice their and you will make king for them a king and he said Samuel to [the] people of Israel go each man to own city his.
