1And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1 Waato kaŋ Samuwila zeen binde, a na nga izey daŋ i ma ciya ciitikoyaŋ Israyla boŋ.
2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
2 A hay-jina maa Yowel, ihinkanta maa Abiya. I goono ga ciitikoy goy te Beyer-Seba ra.
3And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
3 Day a izey man'a fonda gana, amma i siiri nooru ceeciyaŋ do haray. I goono ga me-daabu ta, i goono ga ciiti siirandi.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
4 Gaa no Israyla arkusey kulu na care margu ka kaa Samuwila do Rama.
5And 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.
5 I ne a se: «A go sohõ ni jin ka zeen. Ni izey mo siino ga ni fonda gana. A binde sohõ ni ma bonkooni daŋ iri se kaŋ g'iri candi, sanda mate kaŋ cine dumi cindey kulu gonda.»
6But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
6 Amma woodin mana kaan Samuwila se kaŋ i ne: «M'iri no bonkooni kaŋ g'iri candi.» Samuwila binde na adduwa te Rabbi gaa.
7And 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 reign over them.
7 Rabbi ne Samuwila se: «Kala ni ma hangan jama sanno se hay kulu kaŋ i ne ni se, zama manti nin no i wangu bo; ay no i wangu ya ciya bonkooni ngey boŋ.
8According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
8 Muraadu kulu kaŋ i te boŋ za han kaŋ hane ay n'i kaa Misira laabu ka kaa sohõ, ay furuyaŋ kaŋ i te, i goono ga may de-koy* waani fooyaŋ se. Yaadin no i te ni mo se.
9Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
9 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma hangan i sanney se. Kulu nda yaadin ni ga daahirandi i se da seedayaŋ kaŋ ga dungandi. Ma cabe i se bonkooni kaŋ dumi ga ba k'i may.»
10And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
10 Samuwila mo na Rabbi sanney kulu ci jama kaŋ yaŋ na bonkooni ceeci nga gaa din se.
11And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
11 A ne: «Bonkoono kaŋ ga koytaray ŋwa araŋ boŋ din, a dumi neeya: a g'araŋ ize alborey ta k'i daŋ nga boŋ nafa ra nga torkey se, i ma ciya a kaarukoy, i ga zuru mo a torkey jine.
12And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
12 A g'i daŋ i ma ciya nga se jine boroyaŋ, zambar-zambar da waygu-waygu wane yaŋ. A ga afooyaŋ daŋ i m'a farey far, i m'a albarka mo wi, i m'a wongu jinayyaŋ d'a torkey wane yaŋ mo te.
13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
13 A g'araŋ ize wayey mo sambu i ma ciya waddi teekoyaŋ a se, i ma ciya ŋwaari hinakoyaŋ da haagu-haagu teekoyaŋ.
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
14 A g'araŋ kaley ta, reyzin* wane da zeytun* ji wane, hala ngey kaŋ bisa i kulu boori yaŋ, a m'i no nga tamey se.
15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
15 A g'araŋ dum'izey zakka ta, d'araŋ reyzin kaley wane, ka no nga windi mantawey da nga tamey se.
16And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
16 A g'araŋ bannyey d'araŋ koŋŋey sambu, d'araŋ arwasey ra ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga sogo nd'i kulu, d'araŋ farkayey, a m'i daŋ nga goy ra.
17He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
17 A g'araŋ almaney zakka ta mo. Araŋ mo ga ciya a bannyayaŋ.
18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
18 Han din hane binde araŋ ga hẽ araŋ bonkoono kaŋ araŋ suuban din sabbay se. Amma Rabbi si tu araŋ se han din hane.»
19Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
19 Amma jama wangu ka yadda ngey ma Samuwila sanney hangan. I ne «Abada, kala day iri ma du bonkooni kaŋ g'iri may.
20That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
20 Zama iri ma ciya sanda dumi cindey kulu cine, iri bonkoono ma ciiti dumbu iri se, a ma bisa iri jine, a m'iri candi tangamey ra mo.»
21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
21 Samuwila mo maa jama sanney kulu, a n'i ci Rabbi hangey ra.
22And 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.
22 Kala Rabbi ne Samuwila se: «Ma hangan i sanney se, ma bonkooni daŋ i se.» Kala Samuwila ne Israyla jama se: «Wa koy araŋ koyyaŋ, boro kulu ma koy nga kwaara.»
