Samuu'Eel Kowaad 8
1 Oo markii Samuu'eel gaboobay ayuu wiilashiisii xaakinno uga dhigay reer binu Israa'iil.
When Samuel became old, he appointed his two sons, Joel and Abijah, to lead/rule the people of Israel.
2 Oo wiilkiisa curadka ahaa magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Yoo'eel, wiilkiisii labaadna magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Abiiyaah; oo waxay xaakinno ka ahaayeen Bi'ir Shebac.
They judged people’s disputes/cases in Beersheba [town].
3 Oo wiilashiisiina kuma ay socon jidadkiisii, laakiinse waxay u leexdeen si ay faa'iido u helaan, oo intay laaluush qaateen ayay gartii qalloociyeen.
But they were not like their father. They wanted only to get a lot of money. They accepted bribes, and they did not make honest decisions about people’s disputes/cases.
4 Markaasaa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu isa soo urursadeen, oo Samuu'eel ugu yimaadeen Raamaah;
Finally, the Israeli leaders met at Ramah [town to discuss the matter] with Samuel.
5 oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, waad gabowday, oo wiilashaaduna kuma socdaan jidadkaagii; haddaba noo yeel boqor na xukuma sida quruumaha kale oo dhan.
They said to him, “Listen! You are now old, and your sons are not like you. Appoint a king to rule over us, like the kings that other countries have!”
6 Laakiinse waxaasu Samuu'eel way la xumaayeen, markii ay ku yidhaahdeen, Na sii boqor na xukuma. Markaasaa Samuu'eel Rabbiga baryay.
Samuel was very unhappy with them for requesting that, so he prayed to Yahweh about it.
7 Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Bal dhegayso codka dadka iyo kulli waxa ay ku leeyihiin oo dhan, waayo, adiga kuma ay diidin, laakiinse anay i diideen, inaanan iyaga u ahaan boqor.
Yahweh replied, “Do what they have requested you to do. But ([do not think/the truth is not]) that you are the one whom they are really rejecting. I have been their king, and I am the one they are really rejecting.
8 Siday hore u yeeleen tan iyo maalintii aan ka soo bixiyey Masar iyo ilaa maantadan, taasoo ahayd inay iga tageen, oo ilaahyo kale u adeegeen, saasay adigana kugu samaynayaan.
Ever since I brought them out of Egypt, they have rejected me, and they have worshiped other gods. And now they are also rejecting you in the same way.
9 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed bal codkooda dhegayso, habase yeeshee waa inaad aad ugu markhaati furtaa, oo waa inaad u sheegtaa boqorka xukumi doona siduu ahaan doono.
Do what they are asking you to do. But warn/tell them about how their kings will act toward them!”
10 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu erayadii Rabbiga oo dhan u sheegay dadkii boqorka weyddiistay.
So Samuel told those people what Yahweh had said.
11 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Boqorka idin xukumayaa wuxuu ahaanayaa sidan: wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa wiilashiinna, oo wuxuu ka dhigan doonaa kuwa gaadhifardoodka u wada, iyo fardooleydiisa, oo iyana waxay hor ordi doonaan gaadhifardoodkiisa.
He said, “If a king rules over you, this is what he will do to you: He will force many of your sons to join the army. He will make [some of] them run in front of his chariots [to clear people out of his way].
12 Haddana wuxuu iyaga ka dhigan doonaa saraakiil kun kun u sarreeya iyo saraakiil konton konton u sarreeya, oo qaarna beerihiisay u fali doonaan, oo u gooyn doonaan, oo waxay u samayn doonaan alaabta dagaalka, iyo alaabta gaadhifardoodkiisa.
[Some of] them will be commanders of his soldiers, but others will work for him like slaves. He will force some of them to plow his fields and [then later] harvest his crops. He will force others to make his weapons and equipment for his chariots.
13 Oo gabdhihiinnana wuu idinka qaadan doonaa oo wuxuu ka dhigan doonaa kuwo uunsiga sameeya, iyo kuwo cuntada kariya, iyo kuwo kibista duba.
The king will take [some of] your daughters [from you and force them] to make perfumes for him and cook food for him and bake [bread for him].
14 Oo wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa beerihiinna, iyo beerihiinna canabka ah, iyo beerihiinna saytuunka ah, iyo xataa meelaha ugu wada wanaagsan, oo wuxuu siin doonaa midiidinnadiisa.
He will take your best fields and vineyards and olive tree groves/orchards, and give them to his own officials.
15 Oo wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa iniinihiinna toban meelood oo meel iyo beerihiinna canabka ah, markaasuu siin doonaa saraakiishiisa, iyo midiidinnadiisa.
He will take a tenth of your harvests and distribute it among the officers and servants [who work in] his [palace].
16 Oo haddana wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa raggiinna addoommada idiin ah, iyo gabdhaha addoommaha idiin ah, iyo dhallinyaradiinna ragga ugu wanaagsan, iyo dameerihiinna, markaasuu ku shaqaysan doonaa.
He will take from you your male and female servants, your best cattle and donkeys, and force them to work for him.
17 Oo wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa adhigiinna toban meelood oo meel, oo idinna waxaad noqon doontaan addoommadiisa.
He will take one tenth of your sheep and goats. And you will become his slaves!
18 Oo maalintaas waxaad ka qaylin doontaan boqorkiinna aad idinku doorateen oo Rabbiguna idiin jawaabi maayo maalintaas.
When that time comes, you will complain loudly to the king, the king that you yourselves have chosen, but Yahweh will not (pay attention to/help) you.”
19 Laakiinse dadkii way diideen inay dhegaystaan Samuu'eel codkiisii, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse waxaannu yeelanaynaa boqor noo taliya;
But the people refused to pay attention to what Samuel said. They said, “We do not [care what you say]! We want a king!
20 si aannu ula mid noqonno quruumaha kale oo dhan; oo uu boqorkayagu noogu taliyo, oo uu noo hor kaco oo noo dagaallamo wakhtiga dirirta.
We want to be like the other nations. We want a king to rule us and to lead our soldiers when they go to fight.”
21 Oo Samuu'eelna wuu maqlay erayadii dadka oo dhan, oo haddana wuxuu maqashiiyey dhegihii Rabbiga.
When Samuel told Yahweh what the people had said,
22 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Codkooda maqal oo boqor u yeel iyaga. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Taga oo ninkiin waluba magaaladiisii ha tago.
Yahweh replied, “Do what they are telling you to do. Give them a king!” [So Samuel agreed], and then he sent the people home.
