1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges to Israel;
Samuel a matawng toung dawkvah a capanaw hah Isarelnaw lawkcengkung lah ao sak.
2 and the name of his firstborn son was, Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah, —they were judges in Beer-sheba.
A capa camin e min teh Joel doeh. Apa hni e a capa teh Abijah Beersheba kho dawk lawkceng bawi lah ao.
3 Howbeit his sons walked not in his ways, but stooped to extortion, —and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Hateiteh a capanaw ni a lamthung patetlah dawn awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh tangka e hnuk a kâbang awh teh lam a phen awh. Tadawnghno a ca awh teh lawkngai awh hoeh.
4 So then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, —and came unto Samuel, to Ramah;
Hatdawkvah, Isarel kacuenaw a kamkhueng awh teh Ramah kho vah kaawm e Samuel koe a cei awh.
5 and said unto him—Lo! thou, art old, and, thy sons, walk not in thy ways: Now, appoint for us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
Ahni koe na matawng poung toe. Na capanaw ni hai na lamthung dawn awh hoeh toe. Jentelnaw patetlah kaimae lathueng siangpahrang na poe leih telah a dei awh.
6 But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give unto us a king to judge us. So Samuel prayed unto Yahweh.
Kaimanaw lawkkaceng hane siangpahrang na poe leih atipouh e ni Samuel a lunghawi sak hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
7 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they shall say unto thee, —for, not thee, have they rejected, but, me, have they rejected, from being king over them.
Hattoteh BAWIPA ni Samuel koe taminaw ni nang koe a dei e lawk thai pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hah na pahnawt awh hoeh. Kai hai ahnimanaw ukkung lah o hoeh nahan kai doeh na pahnawt awh toe.
8 According to all the doings which they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even until this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so, are they doing even unto thee.
Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai hnin hoi sahnin totouh, kai na pahnawt awh teh alouke cathutnaw hah a bawk awh toe. Kaie lathueng a tawksak awh e patetlah nange lathueng hai a sak awh toe.
9 Now, therefore, hearken to their voice, —save that thou, enter protest, against them, and tell them the manner of the king who will reign over them.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimae lawkngai pouh haw. Hatei kâhruetcuetnae poe nateh ahnimanaw ka uk e siangpahrang e nuencang hah hmawt sak loe telah atipouh.
10 So then Samuel spake all the words of Yahweh unto the people, who were asking of him, a king.
Samuel ni BAWIPA e a lawknaw hah, siangpahrang kahetnaw koe bout a dei pouh.
11 And he said, This, will be the manner of the king who will reign over you, —Your sons, will he take and appoint for himself, as his charioteers and as his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
Nangmae lathueng kaukkung hane siangpahrang o ang teh, het hah doeh. Na capanaw a la vaiteh, amae leng, ranglengnaw, marangransanaw thaw na poe vaiteh, a tangawn hai ahnie rangleng hmalah a yawng awh han.
12 and he will appoint for himself, princes of thousands, and princes of fifties, —and to plough his fields, and to reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war, and the instruments of his chariots;
Ransa 1,000 touh kaukkung 50 touh kaukkung, ransabawi thaw a poe. Laikawk ka thawn hane hoi cang ka a hane hoi tarantuknae puengcang kasakkung hoi rangleng puengcang kasakkung lah lengkaleng thaw a poe awh han.
13 And, your daughters, will he take, —as perfumers and as cooks, and as bakers;
Nangmae na canunaw hai a la vaiteh, hmuitui katawkkung, rawca ka khenyawnkung lah thoseh, vaiyei kathakkung lah thoseh, thaw a poe awh han.
14 And, your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best of them, will he take, and give to his servants;
Nangmae lawnaw, misur takhanaw, Olive takhanaw hai a la vaiteh, a sannaw koe a poe awh han.
15 And, your seed, and your vineyards, will he tithe, and give to his courtiers and to his servants;
Nangmae caticamu, a pawhik pung hra pung touh na la pouh vaiteh thaw katawknaw hoi kacuenaw koe a poe awh han.
16 And, your men-servants, and your maidservants, and your oxen, even the goodliest, and your asses, will he take, —and put them to his work;
Nangmae na sannu sanpanaw, na thoundoun kahawi kahawinaw hoi lanaw a la vaiteh a thaw tawk awh nahanelah a hno awh han.
17 Your flocks, will he tithe, —and, ye yourselves, shall become his servants.
Nangmae Tu pung hra pung touh a la vaiteh nangmouh teh ahnimae san lah na o awh han.
18 Then will ye make outcry, in that day, because of your king whom ye have chosen for yourselves, —and Yahweh will not answer you, in that day.
Na rawi awh e siangpahrang kecu dawk na khui na ka awh han. Hote hnin dawk na hram na ki awh eiteh, BAWIPA ni na thai pouh mahoeh telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
19 But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel, —and they said—Nay! but, a king, shall be over us:
Hatei taminaw ni Samuel e lawk a ek awh teh, ahnimouh ni telah nahoeh. Kaimouh ka uk hane siangpahrang doeh ka ngai.
20 so shall, even we, become like all the nations, —and our king shall judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our battles.
Hattorei doeh kaimouh hai alouke ramnaw hoi kâvan awh han. Kamamouh e siangpahrang ni lawk na ceng pouh han. Ka miphun heh a hrawi vaiteh taran na tuk pouh han. Telah bout a dei awh.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, —and spake them in the ears of Yahweh.
Samuel ni tamipueng e lawk a ngâi teh BAWIPA koe bout a dei pouh.
22 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel: Go ye, every man to his own city.
BAWIPA ni Samuel koe ahnimae lawk tarawi haw, ahnimouh han siangpahrang rawi pouh haw telah ati. Samuel ni Isarelnaw koevah namamouh kho lengkaleng ban awh telah atipouh.
