1 Samuel 8
1 Forsothe it was don, whanne Samuel hadde wexide eld, he settide hise sones iugis on Israel.
Lè Samyèl konmanse granmoun, li mete pitit gason l' yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And the name of his firste gendrid sone was Johel, and the name of the secounde was Abia, iugis in Bersabee.
Pi gran an te rele Joèl, piti a te rele Abija. Se lavil Bècheba yo t'ap gouvènen.
3 And hise sones yeden not in `the weies of hym, but thei bowiden after aueryce, and thei token yiftis, and peruertiden doom.
Men yo pa t' swiv egzanp papa yo. Yon sèl bagay ki te enterese yo se te fè lajan. Yo te konn pran lajan sou kote nan men moun pou regle zafè pou yo. Yo t'ap fè patipri.
4 Therfor alle the grettere men in birthe of Israel weren gaderid, and camen to Samuel in to Ramatha.
Lè sa a, tout chèf fanmi ki te reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la sanble, y' al jwenn Samyèl lavil Rama.
5 And thei seiden to hym, Lo! thou hast wexid eld, and thi sones goen not in thi weies; ordeyne thou a kyng to vs, `that he deme vs, as also alle naciouns han.
Epi yo di l': -Gade! Ou fin granmoun. Pitit ou yo pa swiv egzanp ou te ba yo. Koulye a, chwazi yon wa pou gouvènen nou, jan sa fèt nan tout lòt peyi yo.
6 And the word displeside in the iyen of Samuel, for thei hadden seid, Yyue thou to vs a kyng, that he deme vs. And Samuel preiede to the Lord.
Pawòl sa yo pa t' fè Samyèl plezi paske yo t'ap mande pou li ba yo yon wa pou gouvènen yo. Samyèl lapriyè Seyè a.
7 Forsothe the Lord seide to Samuel, Here thou the vois of the puple in alle thingis whiche thei speken to thee; for thei han not caste awey thee, but me, that Y regne not on hem.
Seyè a di Samyèl ankò: -Ou mèt koute tou sa pèp la di ou. Paske se pa ou menm y'ap voye jete, se mwen menm menm y'ap voye jete. Yo pa vle m' pou wa yo ankò.
8 Bi alle her werkis whiche thei diden, fro the day in whiche Y ledde hem out of Egipt `til to this dai, as thei forsoken me, and seruyden alien goddis, so thei doon also to thee.
Depi lè mwen te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la, se sa ase y'ap fè m'. Y'ap vire do ban mwen, y'ap sèvi lòt bondye. Se menm bagay la y'ap fè ou jòdi a tou.
9 Now therfor here thou her vois; netheles witnesse thou to hem; biforseie thou to hem the riyt of the kyng, that schal regne on hem.
Se poutèt sa, koute sa y'ap di ou. Tansèlman, avèti yo pou mwen. Tou fè yo konnen ki jan yon wa pral boule ak yo.
10 Therfor Samuel seide alle the wordis of the Lord to the puple, that hadde axid of him a king; and he seide,
Samyèl rapòte bay pèp la ki t'ap mande yon wa a tout pawòl Seyè a te di l'.
11 This schal be the `riyt of the kyng, that schal comaunde to you; he schal take youre sones, and schal sette in hise charis;
Li di yo: -Men ki jan wa a pral boule ak nou: Li pral pran pitit gason nou yo pou fè yo sèvi nan lame li a. Genyen ki pral aprann moute cha, gen lòt ki pral aprann moute chwal pou fè lagè. Genyen ki pral sèvi gad kò li pou kouri devan pwòp cha pa li.
12 and he schal make hem `to hym silf rideris, and biforegoeris of hise cartis; and he schal ordeyne to hym tribunes, `that is, souereyns of a thousynd, and centuriouns, `that is, souereyns of an hundrid, and eereris of hise feeldis, and reperis of cornes, and smythis of hise armeris, and charis.
L'ap pran ladan yo pou mete chèf sou mil (1000) sòlda ak chèf sou senkant sòlda. Se yo ki pral pare tè nan jaden wa a pou li, se yo ki pral ranmase rekòt li yo pou li. Se yo ki pral fè zam pou li ak lòt lekipay l'ap bezwen pou cha lagè l' yo.
13 Also he schal make youre douytris makeris of `oynementis to hym silf, and fueris, and bakeris.
L'ap pran pitit fi nou yo pou fè odè, pou fè manje ak pou fè pen pou li.
14 And he schal take youre feeldis and vyneris and the beste places of olyues, and schal yyue to hise seruauntis.
L'ap pran pi bon jaden nou yo, pi bon jaden rezen nou yo, pi bon jaden oliv nou yo, l'a bay moun k'ap sèvi l' yo.
15 But also he schal take the tenthe part of youre cornes, and rentis of vyneris, that he yyue to his chaumberleyns and seruauntis.
L'ap pran yon dizyèm sou tout rekòt danre nou yo ak sou tout rekòt pye rezen nou yo pou l' bay moun konfyans li yo ak lòt moun k'ap sèvi anndan lakay li.
16 Sotheli he schal take awey youre seruauntis and handmaydes, and beste yong men, and assis, and schal sette in his werk.
L'ap pran pi bon domestik nou yo ak pi bon sèvant nou yo, pi bon bèf nou yo ak pi bon bourik nou yo pou fè yo travay pou li.
17 Also he schal take the tenthe part of youre flockis, and ye schulen be `seruauntis to hym.
L'ap pran yon mouton pou chak dis mouton n'a genyen. Lèfini, l'ap fè nou tounen esklav li.
18 And ye schulen crye in that dai fro the face of youre kyng, whom ye han chose to you; and the Lord schal not here you in that dai; for ye axiden a kyng to you.
Jou sa a, n'a rele anmwe pou wa nou an, wa nou menm n' ava chwazi a. Men lè sa a, Seyè a p'ap okipe nou.
19 Sotheli the puple nolde here the vois of Samuel, but thei seiden, Nay for a kyng schal be on vs;
Pèp la te derefize koute Samyèl. Yo t'ap di: -Non! Se yon wa nou vle pou gouvènen nou,
20 and we also schulen be as alle folkis, and oure kyng schal deme vs, and he schal go out bifor vs, and he schal fiyte oure batel for vs.
pou nou kapab menm jan ak tout lòt nasyon yo. Wa nou an va gouvènen nou, l'a mache alatèt lame nou lè nou pral nan lagè, l'a mennen batay nou pou nou.
21 And Samuel herde alle the wordis of the puple, and `spak tho in the eeris of the Lord.
Samyèl tande tou sa pèp la t'ap di. L' ale rapòte yo bay Seyè a.
22 Forsothe the Lord seide to Samuel, Here thou `the vois of hem, and ordeyne thou a kyng on hem. And Samuel seide to the men of Israel, Ech man go in to his citee.
Lè sa a, Seyè a reponn li: -Ou mèt fè sa yo di a. Ba yo yon wa pou gouvènen yo. Epi Samyèl di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: -Tout moun mèt tounen lakay yo.
