1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Saamuʼeel yeroo dulloometti ilmaan isaa abbootii murtii godhee Israaʼeliif muude.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
Maqaan ilma isaa hangaftichaa Yooʼeel, kan isa lammaffaa immoo Abiyaa jedhama; isaanis Bersheebaa keessatti abbootii murtii turan.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Ilmaan isaa garuu fakkeenya abbaa isaanii duukaa hin buune. Buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii mattaʼaa fudhatan; murtiis jalʼisan.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah:
Kanaafuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel wal gaʼanii Saamuʼeel bira gara Raamaa dhufan;
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.
isaanis, “Ati dulloomteerta; ilmaan kee immoo fakkeenya kee duukaa hin buune; akkuma saboonni kaan hundi mootii qaban sana mootii nu bulchu nuu muudi” jedhaniin.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel; when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
Garuu, “Mootii nu bulchu nuuf muudi” jechuun isaanii waan Saamuʼeelin hin gammachiisiniif inni Waaqayyoon kadhate.
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.
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Waan sabni sun siin jedhu hunda dhagaʼi; isaan akka ani mootii isaanii hin taaneef na tuffatan malee si hin tuffanne.
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.
Isaan waanuma gaafa ani Gibxii isaan baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti na dhiisanii waaqota gara biraa tajaajiluudhaan natti hojjetan sana sittis hojjechaa jiru.
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.
Egaa amma waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼi; garuu sirriitti isaan akeekkachiisiitii haala mootii isaan irratti mooʼu sanaa isaanitti himi.”
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
Saamuʼeelis dubbii Waaqayyoo hunda namoota akka mootiin isaaniif moosifamuuf gaafatan sanatti hime.
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:
Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Wanni mootiin isin irratti mooʼu sun godhu kana: Inni ilmaan keessan fudhatee akka isaan gaariiwwan isaa irra tajaajilan godha; abbootii fardaas isaan godhata; isaanis gaariiwwan isaa dura fiigu.
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.
Gariin isaanii ajajjuuwwan kumaa, gariin isaanii immoo ajajjuuwwan shantamaa, kaan immoo akka isaan lafa isaa qotanii midhaan isaa walitti qaban godha; warra hafanis akka isaan miʼa lolaatii fi miʼa gaariiwwan isaa hojjetan godha.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
Intallan keessan fudhatee qopheessitoota dibata urgaaʼaa, qopheessitoota ittoo fi tolchitoota buddeenaa godhata.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
Lafa qotiisaa keessan isa filatamaa, iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi iddoo itti ejersa cuunfan isin irraa fudhatee hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
Midhaanii fi ija wayinii keessanii harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko fuudhee qondaaltota isaatii fi hojjettoota isaatiif kenna.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
Garboota dhiiraatii fi garboota dubartii, horii gagaarii fi harroota keessan fudhatee hojii ofii irratti bobbaafata.
17 He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye shall be his servants.
Bushaayee keessan keessaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko ni fudhata; isin mataan keessanuu garboota isaa taatu.
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.
Gaafas isin mootii keessan isa ofii keessaniif filattan sana jalaa furamuuf ni iyyitu; garuu guyyaa sana Waaqayyo deebii isinii hin kennu.”
19 But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
Namoonni sun garuu Saamuʼeelin dhagaʼuu didanii akkana jedhan; “Hin taʼu! Nu mootii nu bulchu feena.
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.
Ergasiis akkuma saboota kaanii taana; mootiin keenyas nu hooggana; nu dura baʼees lola keenya nuu lola.”
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
Saamuʼeel yeroo waan namoonni sun jedhan hunda dhagaʼetti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waanuma sana deebisee dubbate.
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.
Waaqayyos Saamuʼeeliin, “Waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼiitii mootii moosisiif” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis namoota Israaʼeliin, “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan magaalaa keessanitti deebiʼaa” jedhe.
