1 Hamuera 8
1 Na, ka koroheketia a Hamuera, ka meinga e ia ana tama hei kaiwhakarite mo Iharaira.
And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Na ko te ingoa o tana matamua ko Hoere; ko Apia hoki te ingoa o tana tuarua. I whakarite raua ki Peerehepa.
And these [are] the names of his sons; Joel the firstborn, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.
3 Na kihai ana tama i tika i tona ara, engari peka ke ana raua ki te apo, i tango hoki i te moni whakapati, a whakapeaua ketia ake te whakawa.
And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgements.
4 Katahi ka huihui nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, ka haere ki a Hamuera ki Rama.
And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,
5 Ka mea ki a ia, Kua koroheketia koe, kahore hoki au tama e tika i ou huarahi; heoi whakaritea he kingi mo matou hei whakarite mo matou, hei pera ano me o nga iwi katoa
and they said to him, Behold, you are grown old, and your sons walk not in your way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations [have].
6 Otira i kino taua kupu ki a Hamuera, mo ratou i me, Homai he kingi ki a matou hei whakarite mo matu. Na ka inoi a Hamuera ki a Ihowa.
And the thing [was] evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Whakarongo ki te reo o te iwi na, ki nga mea katoa i korerotia e ratou ki a koe; ehara hoki i te mea ko koe ta ratou i paopao ai, ko ahau ia ta ratou i paopao mai nga hei kingi mo ratou.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.
8 E rite ana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, o te ra iho ano i kawea mai ai ratou e ahau i Ihipa a tae noa ki tenei ra; i whakarere hoki ratou i ahau, i mahi atu ki nga atua ke: ko ta ratou mahi hoki tena ki a koe.
According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even [as] they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
9 Heoi whakarongo aianei ki to ratou reo: otiia kia kaha te kauwhau ki a ratou, whakaaturia hoki nga tikanga o te kingi e whakakingitia mo ratou.
And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly testify to them, and you shall describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
10 Na ka korerotia e Hamuera nga kupu katoa a Ihowa ki te hunga i tono kingi nei i a ia;
And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.
11 Ka mea, Ko te tikanga tenei a te kingi e whakakingitia mo koutou: Ko a koutou tama ka tangohia e ia, ka meinga mana, mo ana hariata, hei tangata eke hoiho hoki mana, hei rere ano ki mua i ana hariata;
And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and amongst his horsemen, and running before his chariots,
12 Ka meinga hoki hei rangatira mano mana, hei rangatira mo nga rima tekau, hei parau i tana mara, hei kokoti i ana witi, hei hanga hoki i ana mea mo te whawhai, i ana mea mo ana hariata;
and [his manner shall be] to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.
13 Ka tangohia hoki e ia a koutou tamahine hei mahi keke, hei taka kai, hei tunu taro.
And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
14 Me a koutou mara, a koutou kari waina, a koutou kari oriwa, ka tangohia e ia nga mea papai, a ka hoatu ki ana pononga.
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good olive yards, and give them to his servants.
15 Ka tangohia hoki e ia te whakatekau o a koutou purapura, o a koutou kari waina, a ka hoatu ki ana unaka, ki ana pononga.
And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give [it] to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
16 Ka tangohia ano e ia a koutou pononga tane, a koutou pononga wahine, a koutou taitamariki papai, me a koutou kaihe, a ka whakamahia ki tana mahi.
And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
17 Ka tangohia ano e ia nga whakatekau o a koutou hipi: ka waiho ano hoki koutou hei pononga mana.
And he will tithe your flocks; and you shall be his servants.
18 A ka tangi koutou i taua ra i ta koutou kingi i whiriwhiri ai mo koutou; e kore ano a Ihowa e rongo ki a koutou i taua ra.
And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because you have chosen to yourselves a king.
19 Otira kihai te iwi i pai kia whakarongo ki te reo o Hamuera. Na ka mea ratou, Kahore; engari me whai kingi matou;
But the people would not listen to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.
20 Kia rite ai hoki matou ki nga iwi katoa; a ka whakarite to matou kingi mo matou, ka haere atu hoki i to matou aroaro, hei whawhai i a matou whawhai.
An we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 A ka rongo a Hamuera i nga kupu katoa a te iwi, korerotia ana e ia ki nga taringa o Ihowa.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.
22 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, Whakarongo atu ki to ratou reo, whakaritea hoki he kingi mo ratou. A ka mea a Hamuera ki nga tangata o Iharaira, Haere atu koutou ki tona pa, ki tona pa.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.
