I Samuel 12

1 Kinuna ni Samuel iti entero nga Israel, “Tinungpalko dagiti amin nga imbagayo kaniak, ket nangisaadak iti maysa nga ari kadakayo.

And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and I have set a king over you.

2 Ita, adtoy a magmagna ti ari iti sangoananyo; ket lakay ken ubananakon; ken, kaduayo dagiti annakko a lallaki. Indauloankayo sipud pat iti kinaubingko agingga ita nga aldaw.

And now, behold, the king is walking before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and my sons, behold, they are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth even until this day.

3 Adtoyak; agsaksikayo a maibusor kaniak iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti sangoanan ti pinulotanna. Siasino koma ti akinbaka ti innalak? Siasino koma ti akin-asno ti innalak? Siasino koma ti kinaurko? Siasino koma ti indadanesko? Siasino koma ti akin-ima ti nangalaak iti pasuksok tapno pakabulsekan dagiti matak? Agsaksikayo maibusor kaniak, ket isublik daytoy kadakayo.”

Behold, here am I; testify against me in the presence of the Lord, and in the presence of his anointed: Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I received any ransom so that I withdrew my eyes from him? and I will restore it you.

4 Kinunada, “Saannakami a kinaur, indadanes, wenno tinakawan iti aniaman a banag manipud iti siasinoman a tao.”

And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor hast thou oppressed us, and thou hast not taken from any man's hand the least.

5 Kinunana kadakuada, “Saksi ni Yahweh maibusor kadakayo, ken saksi ti pinulotanna ita nga aldaw, nga awan ti masarakanyo imak.” Ket simmungbatda, “Saksi ni Yahweh.”

And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found in my hand the least: and they answered, He is witness.

6 Kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Ni Yahweh ti nangdutok kada Moises ken Aaron, ken nangiruar kadagiti ammayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto.

And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord who did [wonders through] Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

7 Ita ngarud, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo, tapno mailawlawagko koma kadakayo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ti maipapan iti amin a nalinteg nga inar-aramid ni Yahweh, nga inaramidna kadakayo ken kadagiti ammayo.

And now stand up, that I may hold judgment with you before the Lord concerning all the benefits of the Lord, which he hath done to you and to your fathers.

8 Idi napan ni Jacob iti Egipto, ken immasug dagiti kapuonanyo kenni Yahweh. Imbaon ni Yahweh da Moises ken Aaron, a nangiruar kadagiti kapuonanyo iti Egipto ken nagnaedda iti daytoy a lugar.

When Jacob was come into Egypt, then did your fathers cry unto the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and caused them to dwell in this place.

9 Ngem nalipatanda ni Yahweh a Diosda; inlakona ida iti ima ni Sisera a kapitan dagiti armada ti Hasor, iti ima dagiti Filisteo, ken iti ima ti ari ti Moab; nakiranget amin dagitoy maibusor kadagiti kapuonanyo.

And when they forgot the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sissera, the chief of the host of Chazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they made war against them.

10 Immasugda kenni Yahweh ket kinunada, 'Nagbasolkami, gapu ta tinallikudanmi ni Yahweh ket nagserbikami kadagiti Baal ken kadagiti Astarte. Ngem ita ispalennakami manipud iti ima dagiti kabusormi, ket agserbikaminto kenka.'

And they cried [then] unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served the Be'alim and the 'Ashtaroth; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11 Isu nga imbaon ni Yahweh da Jerub Baal, Bedan, Jepta, ken Samuel, ket pinagballiginakayo kadagiti kabusoryo iti amin nga aglawlawyo, iti kasta nagbiagkayo a sitatalged.

And the Lord sent Yerubba'al, and Bedan, and Yiphthach, and Samuel, and he delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, so that ye dwelt safely.

12 Idi nakitayo nga immay ni Nahas nga ari dagiti tattao iti Ammon maibusor kadakayo, kinunayo kaniak, 'Saan! Ngem ketdi, maysa nga ari ti masapul nga agturay kadakami' - uray no ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ti ariyo.

But when ye saw that Nachash the king of the children of 'Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God is your king.

13 Ita, adtoy ti ari a piniliyo, a kiniddawyo ken dinutokan itan ni Yahweh a mangituray kadakayo.

And now here is the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and, behold, the Lord hath set over you a king.

14 No agbutengkayo kenni Yahweh, agserbikayo kenkuana, agtulnogkayo iti timekna, ken saankayo nga agsukir iti bilin ni Yahweh, dakayo ngarud ken ti ari nga agturay kadakayo ket agpadanto nga agbalin a pasurot ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and will not rebel against the will of the Lord: then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God.

15 No saanyo a tungpalen ti timek ni Yahweh, ngem agsukirkayo kadagiti bilin ni Yahweh, ti ima ngarud ni Yahweh ket bumusorto kadakayo, a kas iti ibubusorna idi kadagiti kapuonanyo.

But if ye will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and rebel against the will of the Lord: then will the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.

16 Uray ita, idatagyo dagiti bagbagiyo ket kitaenyo daytoy a na-indaklan a banag nga aramidento ni Yahweh iti imatangyo.

And now stand up and see this great thing, which the Lord is about doing before your eyes.

17 Saan aya a panagaapit iti trigo ita? Umawagak kenni Yahweh tapno mangibaon koma isuna iti gurruod ken tudo. Ket maammoanyonto ken makitayo a nakaro ti kinadangkesyo, nga inaramidyo iti imatang ni Yahweh, iti panagkiddawyo iti ari a para kadakayo.”

Is there not wheat-harvest today? I will call unto the Lord, and he will send thunders and rain; and ye will [thus] perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done, in the eyes of the Lord, to ask for yourselves a king.

18 Isu nga immawag ni Samuel kenni Yahweh; ket nangibaon ni Yahweh iti gurruod ken tudo iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw. Ket nagbuteng iti kasta unay dagiti amin a tattao kenni Yahweh ken ni Samuel.

And Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunders and rain on that day: and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.

19 Ket kinuna dagiti amin a tattao kenni Samuel, “Ikararagam kenni Yahweh a Diosmo dagiti adipenmo, tapno saankami a matay. Gapu ta innayonmi kadagiti amin a basbasolmi daytoy a dakes a panagkiddawmi iti ari para kadakami.”

And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray in behalf of thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we may not die; for we have added unto all our sins yet this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.

20 Simmungbat ni Samuel, “Saankayo nga agbuteng. Inaramidyo amin dagitoy a dakes, ngem saankayo a tumallikod kenni Yahweh, ngem agserbikayo kenni Yahweh iti amin a pusoyo.

And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not; ye have indeed done all this evil: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, and serve ye the Lord with all your heart;

21 Saankayo a tumallikud tapno surotenyo laeng dagiti ubbaw a banbanag a saan a mapagnumaran wenno makaispal kadakayo, gapu ta awan serserbida dagitoy.

And turn ye not aside; for then would ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; because they are vain.

22 Gapu iti naindaklan a nagan ni Yahweh, saanna a laksiden dagiti tattaona, gapu ta makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh ti panangpilina kadakayo nga agbalin a tattaona.

For the Lord will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name; because it hath pleased the Lord to make you a people unto himself.

23 No maipapan kaniak, adayo koma a makabasolak kenni Yahweh gapu iti panangisardengko a mangikarkararag kadakayo. Ngem ketdi, isurok kadakayo ti wagas a naimbag ken umno.

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray in behalf of you; but I will teach you the good and the right way:

24 Agbutengkayo laeng kenni Yahweh ken agserbikayo kenkuana iti kinapudno iti amin a pusoyo. Amirisenyo dagiti naindaklan a banbanag nga inaramidna kadakayo.

Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for see what great things he hath done with you.

25 Ngem no ipapilityo ti panangaramid iti dakes, dakayo ken ti ariyo ket agpadanto a madadael.”

But if ye will in any wise do wickedly, both ye yourselves as also your king shall perish.
