1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Ke Samuel el matuoh, el oru tuh wen natul in mwet nununku fin mwet Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
Inen wen se ma matu pa Joel, ac ma se akluo pa Abijah. Eltal mwet nununku in acn Beersheba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Tusruktu eltal tia fahsr tukun oakwuk lun papa tumaltal. Eltal nunku na ke mani, oru eltal tia nununku suwohs, a eltal wi na lungse lun mwet su moli yohk nu seltal.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah:
Na mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel elos toeni ac som nu yorol Samuel in acn Ramah,
5 and they said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
ac fahk nu sel, “Kom matuoh inge, a wen luo nutum eltal tiana fahsr ke oakwuk lom. Ke ma inge, sulela nu sesr sie tokosra in kol kut, tuh kut in oana mutunfacl saya.”
6 But the thing displeased Samuel; when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
Samuel el tia insewowo ke siyuk se inge tuh in oasr sie tokosra, na el pre kac nu sin LEUM GOD.
7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.
Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Porongo ma nukewa ma mwet inge fahk nu sum an. Tia kom pa elos sisla, a nga pa elos sisla tuh nga in tia tokosra faclos.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
E ke pacl se nga tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt nwe misenge, elos nuna sissisyu ac alu nu sin god saya. Inge elos oru nu sum oana ma elos oru nu sik pacl nukewa.
9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
Ke ma inge, porongo ma elos fahk an, tusruktu kom in sensenkakinulos ac akkalemye ke ouiya nukewa ma sie tokosra el ac mau oaki nu selos uh.”
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
Samuel el fahkang kas nukewa lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet su tuku siyuk ke sie tokosra.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots:
El fahk, “Pa inge kutu oakwuk ma tokosra el ac oru nu suwos. El ac eis wen nutuwos tuh elos in mwet mweun — kutu selos fah kasrusr ke chariot in mweun natul, ac kutu selos fah kasrusr fin horse natul, ac kutu selos fah kasrusr meet liki chariot natul.
12 and he will appoint them unto him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and [he will set some] to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.
El ac fah sulela kutu selos in mwet kol fin tausin ac kutu fin lumngaul. Kutu sin wen nutuwos ac fah orekma in ima lal, ac kosrani in ima lal, ac orek kufwen mwe mweun ac mwe sroasr nu ke chariot natul.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
Acn nutuwos an ac fah enenu in orek mwe akmusra keng nu sel, ac orek mongo nal, ac manman flao nal.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
El ac fah eis ima wo emeet lowos, oayapa ima in grape ac ima in olive lowos, ac el ac fah sang nu sin mwet pwapa lal.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
El ac fah eis sie tafu singoul in wheat ac grape sunowos, ac sang nu sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal ac mwet pwapa lal.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
El ac fah eisla mwet kulansap lowos mukul ac mutan, ac cow ac donkey nutuwos su wo emeet, tuh elos in orekma nu sel.
17 He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye shall be his servants.
El ac fah eisla sie tafu singoul ke sheep ac goat nutuwos, ac kowos sifacna fah mwet kohs lal.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.
Ke pacl se ma inge ac sikyak, kowos ac fah arulana torkaskas ke sripen tokosra lowos, su kowos tuh sifacna sulela. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac fah tia porongekowos.”
19 But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
Tusruktu mwet inge tiana lohang nu ke kas lal Samuel. Elos fahk, “Mo! Kut lungse in oasr sie tokosra lasr
20 that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
tuh kut in oana mutunfacl saya, na tokosra lasr el fah nununkekut ac kol kut ke pacl in mweun, ac mweun kacsr.”
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
Samuel el porongo ma nukewa elos fahk, na el som ac fahkak ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD.
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
Ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Oru ma elos fahk an ac sang sie tokosra nu selos.” Na Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Kowos nukewa folokla nu yen suwos an.”
