1 Samweli 8
1 Samweli alipozeeka, aliwaweka watoto wake wawe waamuzi juu ya Israeli.
and to be like/as as which be old Samuel and to set: make [obj] son: child his to judge to/for Israel
2 Mtoto wake wa kwanza aliitwa Yoeli, na mtoto wake wa pili aliitwa Abiya. Hawa walikuwa waamuzi katika Bersheba.
and to be name son: child his [the] firstborn Joel and name second his Abijah to judge in/on/with Beersheba Beersheba
3 Watoto wake hawakuenenda katika njia za baba yao, bali walipiga mbio kutafuta mapato ya udhalimu. Walipokea rushwa na na kupotosha hukumu.
and not to go: walk son: child his (in/on/with way: conduct his *Q(K)*) and to stretch after [the] unjust-gain and to take: take bribe and to stretch justice
4 Ndipo wazee wote wa Israeli walikutana pamoja na kumwendea Samweli huko Rama.
and to gather all old: elder Israel and to come (in): come to(wards) Samuel [the] Ramah [to]
5 Wakamwambia, “Angalia, wewe umekuwa mzee, na watoto wako hawaenendi katika njia zako. Tuchagulie mfalme wakutuamua kama yalivyo mataifa yote.”
and to say to(wards) him behold you(m. s.) be old and son: child your not to go: walk in/on/with way: conduct your now to set: appoint [emph?] to/for us king to/for to judge us like/as all [the] nation
6 Lakini haikumpendeza Sameli waliposema, “Utupatie mfalme wa kutuamua.” Hivyo akamwomba BWANA.
and be evil [the] word: thing in/on/with eye: appearance Samuel like/as as which to say to give: give [emph?] to/for us king to/for to judge us and to pray Samuel to(wards) LORD
7 Na BWANA akamwambia Samweli, “Sikiliza sauti ya watu kwa kila jambo wanalokwambia; kwa sababu hwajakukataa wewe, bali wamenikataa mimi nisiwe mfalme wao.
and to say LORD to(wards) Samuel to hear: obey in/on/with voice [the] people to/for all which to say to(wards) you for not [obj] you to reject for [obj] me to reject from to reign upon them
8 Sasa wanafanya kama vile walivyotenda tangu siku ile nilipowatoa huko Misri, kwa kuniacha, na kuwatumikia miungu mingine, na ndivyo hivyo pia wanakufanyia na wewe.
like/as all [the] deed which to make: do from day: today to ascend: establish I [obj] them from Egypt and till [the] day: today [the] this and to leave: forsake me and to serve God another so they(masc.) to make: do also to/for you
9 Basi sasa uwasikilize; lakini uwaonye sawasawa na uwafahamishe tabia ya mfalme atakaye waongoza.
and now to hear: obey in/on/with voice their surely for to testify to testify in/on/with them and to tell to/for them justice: custom [the] king which to reign upon them
10 Kwa hiyo Samweli akawaambia watu waliokuwa wakiomba mfalme maneno yote ya BWANA.
and to say Samuel [obj] all word LORD to(wards) [the] people [the] to ask from with him king
11 Akasema, “Hivi ndivyo jinsi mfalme atakavyowatawala.
and to say this to be justice: custom [the] king which to reign upon you [obj] son: child your to take: take and to set: appoint to/for him in/on/with chariot his and in/on/with horse his and to run: run to/for face: before chariot his
12 Atawachukua watoto wenu wa kiume na kuwaweka juu ya magari ya vita na kuwa wapanda farasi wake, na kukimbia mbele ya magari yake. Atawaweka ma- kapteni wake juu ya maelfu ya askari, na ma-kapteni juu ya askari hamsini. Wengine atawafanya wakulima wamashamba yake, wengine wavunaji wa mazao yake, wengine watatengeneza silaha zake na zana za magari yake.
and to/for to set: appoint to/for him ruler thousand and ruler fifty and to/for to plow/plot plowing his and to/for to reap harvest his and to/for to make article/utensil battle his and article/utensil chariot his
13 Naye atawachukua binti zenu kuwa watengeneza manukato, wapishi, na waoka mikate.
and [obj] daughter your to take: take to/for perfumer and to/for cook and to/for to bake
14 Atachukua mashamba yenu mazuri, mashamba ya mizabibu, na yale ya mizeituni na kuwapa watumishi wake.
and [obj] land: country your and [obj] vineyard your and olive your [the] pleasant to take: take and to give: give to/for servant/slave his
15 Atachukua moja ya kumi ya nafaka zenu na mizabibu na na kuwapa maofisa na watumishi wake.
and seed your and vineyard your to tithe and to give: give to/for eunuch his and to/for servant/slave his
16 Atawachukua watumwa wenu na wajakazi wenu na vijana wenu waliowazuri na punda wenu; atawatumikisha wote kwa ajili yake.
and [obj] servant/slave your and [obj] maidservant your and [obj] youth your [the] pleasant and [obj] donkey your to take: take and to make: do to/for work his
17 Atawatoza moja ya kumi ya mifugo yenu, na mtakuwa watumwa wake.
flock your to tithe and you(m. p.) to be to/for him to/for servant/slave
18 Ndipo mtalia siku ile kwa sababu ya mfalme wenu mliyemchagua kwa ajili yenu; lakini siku ile BWANA hatawajibu
and to cry out in/on/with day [the] he/she/it from to/for face: because king your which to choose to/for you and not to answer LORD [obj] you in/on/with day [the] he/she/it
19 Lakini watu walikataa kumsikiliza Samweli; wakasema, “Hapana!” Lazima awepo mfalme juu yetu.
and to refuse [the] people to/for to hear: obey in/on/with voice Samuel and to say not that if: except if: except king to be upon us
20 Ili tuweze kuwa kama mataifa mengine yote, na hivyo mfalme wetu aweze kutuamua na atoke mbele yetu na atupiganie vita yetu.
and to be also we like/as all [the] nation and to judge us king our and to come out: come to/for face: before our and to fight [obj] battle our
21 Naye Samweli aliposikia maneno yote ya watu, akayarudia katika masiko ya BWANA.
and to hear: hear Samuel [obj] all word [the] people and to speak: speak them in/on/with ear: to ears LORD
22 BWANA akamwambia Samweli, “Sikiliza sauti yao na uwafanyie mfalme.” Hivyo Samweli akawaambia watu wa Israeli, “Kila mtu na arudi mjini kwake.”
and to say LORD to(wards) Samuel to hear: obey in/on/with voice their and to reign to/for them king and to say Samuel to(wards) human Israel to go: went man: anyone to/for city his
