1 Samuel 8
1 And it comes to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he makes his sons judges over Israel.
Kane Samuel oseti noketo yawuote mondo obed jongʼad bura e Israel.
2 And the name of his firstborn son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
Nying wuode makayo ne Joel to nying wuowi mar ariyo ne Abija, kendo negitiyo e Bersheba.
3 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
To yawuotego ne ok oluwo timbene. Ne gibaro kuom dwaro mwandu malangʼ kendo ka gikawo asoya bende ka gingʼado bura marach.
4 And all [the] elderly of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Samuel at Ramath,
Omiyo jodong Israel noromo kamoro achiel mine gidhi ir Samuel Rama.
5 and say to him, “Behold, you have become aged, and your sons have not walked in your ways; now, appoint a king to us, to judge us, like all the nations.”
Negiwachone niya, “In koro iseti kendo yawuoti bende ok luw timbeni; omiyo koro yiernwa ruoth mondo otelnwa, machal gi mag ogendini mamoko mondo otelnwa.”
6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel when they have said, “Give a king to us, to judge us”; and Samuel prays to YHWH.
To kane gikwayo niya, “Miwa ruoth mondo otelnwa,” kwayoni ok ne omoro Samuel, omiyo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
7 And YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from reigning over them.
To Jehova Nyasaye ne owachone niya, “Chik iti ne weche duto ma ji wachoni; nikech ok in ema gikwedi, to An ema gisekweda kaka ruodhgi.
8 According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even to this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods—so they are also doing to you.
Mana kaka gisebedo ka gitimo chakre ndalo mane agologi e piny Misri nyaka koroni, kagiweya kendo gitiyo ni nyiseche mamoko, ema koro in bende gitimoni.
9 And now, listen to their voice; only, surely you certainly protest to them, and have declared to them the custom of the king who reigns over them.”
Koro winj gima giwacho; makmana isiemgi matek, kendo mondo inyisgi mondo gingʼe gik ma ruoth mabiro ritogi biro timo.”
10 And Samuel speaks all the words of YHWH to the people who are asking [for] a king from him,
Samuel nonyiso joma ne kwaye mondo omigi ruoth weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye.
11 and says, “This is the custom of the king who reigns over you: he takes your sons, and has appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
Nowacho niya, “Ma e gima ruoth mabiro ritou notim: Nokaw yawuotu mi noketgi mondo giti e gechene gi faresene, kendo giniringi e nyim gechene.
12 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
Moko to enoket jotelo mag lweny marito ji alufe alufe to moko motelo ni piero abich abich, moko nopur puothene gi dhok kendo kayo chambe, to bende moko noket mondo olos gige mag lweny to gi gik milosogo gechene.
13 And he takes your daughters for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
Nokaw nyiwu mondo obed jolos modhi mangʼwe ngʼar to moko obed joted chiemo kod makati.
14 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards—he takes the best, and has given to his servants.
Enokaw puotheu mabeyo moloyo gi puotheu mag olembe mag mzabibu gi zeituni mi enomi jotichne.
15 And he tithes your seed and your vineyards, and has given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Enokaw achiel kuom apar mag chambu gi olembeu mi nomigi jotende gi jotije.
16 And your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and your donkeys, he takes, and has prepared for his own work;
Nomau jotiju machwo gi ma nyiri, kaachiel gi jambu mabeyo moloyo, kod pundeu nokawgi mondo giti tijene owuon.
17 he tithes your flock, and you are for servants to him.
Nokaw achiel kuom apar mag jambu kendo un uwegi unubed wasumbinige.
18 And you have cried out in that day because of the king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH does not answer you in that day.”
Ka odiechiengno ochopo, unuywagi ka ukwayo kony kuom ruoth mane uyiero, to Jehova Nyasaye ok nomiu dwoko.”
19 And the people refuse to listen to the voice of Samuel, and say, “No, but a king is over us,
To ji nodagi winjo Samuel mi negiwacho niya, “Ngangʼ! Wan to wadwaro ruoth mondo oritwa.
20 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king has judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.”
Mondo wan bende wabed machal gi ogendini mamoko, ka wan gi ruoth matelo nyimwa ka wadhi e lweny.”
21 And Samuel hears all the words of the people, and speaks them in the ears of YHWH;
Kane Samuel owinjo weche duto mane ji owacho, ne onyiso Jehova Nyasaye wechego mana kaka ne gikwayo.
22 and YHWH says to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and you have caused a king to reign over them.” And Samuel says to the men of Israel, “Go, each man, to his city.”
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Winj gima giwachoni kendo imigi ruoth.” Eka Samuel nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Koro ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e miechgi.”
