1And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
1 Samuwila ne Israyla jama kulu se «Wa guna, ay n'araŋ sanney hangan ka maa hay kulu kaŋ araŋ ci ay se, hal ay na bonkooni daŋ araŋ se.
2And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
2 A go no mo sohõ, bonkoono ga dira araŋ jine. Ay mo za kaŋ ay go sohõ ay zeen, ay te hamni kwaaray. Ay izey mo neeya, i go araŋ banda. Ay mo, za ay go arwasu ay goono ga dira araŋ banda hala ka kaa sohõ.
3Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
3 Ay neeya, wa seeda ay boŋ Rabbi d'a wane suubananta mo jine, may haw no ay kom? May farka no ay kom? May no ay zamba? May no ay kankam baa ce fo? May kambe ra no ay na me-daabu ta hal ay m'ay moy daabu nda woodin? Ay, kal ay m'a yeti araŋ se.»
4And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
4 I ne: «Ni mana iri zamba, ni mana iri kankam, ni mana hay fo kulu ta boro fo kambe ra.»
5And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
5 A ne i se: «Rabbi no ga ti seeda araŋ boŋ, a suubananta mo seeda no hunkuna: araŋ mana hay kulu gar ay kamba ra.» I ne: «Nga no ga ti seeda.»
6And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
6 Samuwila ne jama se: «Rabbi no ka Musa nda Haruna sinji, a n'araŋ kaayey kaa Misira laabo ra mo.
7Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
7 Sohõ binde wa kay siw! hala ay ma kande araŋ se sanni Rabbi jine, goy adilantey* kulu boŋ kaŋ yaŋ a goy araŋ d'araŋ kaayey se.
8When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
8 Waato kaŋ cine Yakuba kaa Misira ra, kaŋ araŋ kaayey hẽ Rabbi gaa mo, saaya din no Rabbi na Musa nda Haruna donton. I n'araŋ kaayey kaa Misira ra k'i daŋ i ma goro nango wo ra.
9And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
9 Amma i dinya Rabbi ngey Irikoyo. Nga mo n'i neera Sisera, Hazor marga jine bora kambe ra, da Filistancey kambe ra, da Mowab bonkoono kambe ra mo hal i wongu nd'ey.
10And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
10 Kala i hẽ Rabbi gaa ka ne: ‹Iri na zunubi te, za kaŋ iri dinya Rabbi, hal iri may mo Baaley da Astarot se. Amma sohõ ni m'iri faaba iri ibarey kambe. Iri mo, iri ga may ni se.›
11And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
11 Rabbi mo na Yerub-Baal donton, da Bedan, da Yefta, da Samuwila. A n'araŋ faaba araŋ ibarey gaa kuray kulu. Araŋ n'araŋ goray te baani samay mo.
12And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
12 Waato kaŋ araŋ di Nahas, Amon izey bonkoono, nga mo fatta araŋ gaa, kal araŋ ne ay se: ‹Abada! Kala day i ma bonkooni daŋ, a m'iri may.› A go mo, Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo no ga ti araŋ bonkoono!
13Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
13 Sohõ binde, bonkoono kaŋ araŋ suuban kaŋ araŋ ceeci mo, nga neeya! Nga nooya, Rabbi na bonkooni daŋ araŋ se.
14If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
14 D'araŋ ga humburu Rabbi, araŋ ma may a se, araŋ m'a sanney hangan, araŋ mana murte Rabbi lordey gaa, araŋ da bonkoono kaŋ goono ga koytaray ŋwa araŋ boŋ, yaadin gaa araŋ ciya Rabbi ganakoyaŋ.
15But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
15 Amma d'araŋ wangu ka Rabbi sanney hangan, hala araŋ murte Rabbi lordey gaa, waato din gaa no Rabbi kamba ga gaaba nd'araŋ, sanda mate kaŋ cine a te araŋ kaayey se.
16Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
16 Sohõ binde, kal araŋ ma kay siw, ka di hari bambatey wo kaŋ Rabbi ga te araŋ jine.
17Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
17 Manti hunkuna ya alkama wiyaŋ hane no? Ay ga Rabbi ce a ma hari nda beene kaatiyaŋ samba. Araŋ ga di, araŋ ga bay mo kaŋ araŋ laala ga beeri kaŋ araŋ goy Rabbi jine, za kaŋ araŋ na bonkooni ceeci araŋ boŋ se.»
18So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
18 Samuwila binde na Rabbi ce. Rabbi mo na hari nda beene kaatiyaŋ samba han din hane. Jama kulu humburu Rabbi nda Samuwila mo gumo.
19And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
19 Jama kulu ne Samuwila se: «Ma te iri, ni bannyey se adduwa Rabbi ni Irikoyo gaa zama iri ma si bu, zama iri na laala woone kulu tonton iri zunubey gaa, kaŋ iri na bonkooni ceeci iri boŋ se.»
20And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
20 Samuwila ne jama se: «Wa si humburu. Daahir no araŋ na laala woodin kulu te. Kulu nda yaadin, araŋ ma si kamba ka fay da Rabbi ganayaŋ. Amma wa may Rabbi se nda araŋ biney kulu.
21And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
21 Wa si kamba, zama yaadin gaa araŋ ga muraadu yaamoyaŋ gana kaŋ yaŋ sinda hina k'araŋ nafa, wala i ma araŋ faaba, zama yaamoyaŋ no.
22For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
22 Zama Rabbi si nga jama furu bo, nga maa beero sabbay se, za kaŋ Rabbi miila nga m'araŋ ciya nga jama.
23Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
23 Woodin banda ay boŋ do haray, Irikoy m'ay hallasi ay ma si zunubi te Rabbi se, ya fay da adduwa teeyaŋ araŋ se, amma ay ga soobay ka araŋ dondonandi fondo hanno boŋ, cimi wane.
24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
24 Kala day araŋ ma humburu Rabbi, araŋ ma may a se cimi ra d'araŋ biney kulu. Zama wa guna hari bambatey kaŋ yaŋ a te araŋ sabbay se.
25But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
25 Amma hala hõ d'araŋ na goy laalo te, i g'araŋ halaci, araŋ d'araŋ bonkoono kulu.»
