¹Samuu'eel wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku yidhi, Bal eega, anigu waan maqlay codkiinnii iyo wixii aad igu tidhaahdeen oo dhan, oo waxaan idiin yeelay boqor idiin taliya.

¹And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.

²Oo haatan, bal eega, boqorkii wuu idin hor socdaaye, oo anigu waan gaboobay, waanan cirroobay; oo bal eega, wiilashaydiina way idinla joogaan, oo aniguna waxaan idin hor socday tan iyo yaraantaydii.

²And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day.

³Bal waa i kan. Rabbiga hortiisa igu markhaati fura, iyo kan uu subkaday hortiisaba. Bal yaan dibigiisii ka qaatay? Amase bal yaan dameerkiisii ka qaatay? Amase yaan dulmay? Amase yaan cadaadiyey? Kumaanse gacantiisa laaluush ka qaatay si aan isu indhatiro daraaddeed? Hadday saas tahay waan idiin celin.

³Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.

⁴Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Nama aad dulmin, namana aad cadaadin, oo ninnaba gacantiisa waxba kama aad qaadan.

⁴And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.

⁵Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Maanta Rabbigaa idinku marag ah, iyo kan uu subkaday, inaydnaan waxba gacantayda ku helin. Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Haah, isagu waa ka marag.

⁵And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] said, [He is] witness!

⁶Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Muuse iyo Haaruun waxaa doortay Rabbiga, oo isagaa awowayaashiin ka soo saaray dalkii Masar.

⁶And Samuel said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

⁷Haddaba bal joogsada inaan Rabbiga hortiisa idinkula hadlo wax ku saabsan falimihii Rabbiga oo xaqa ahaa oo dhan, oo uu idiin sameeyey idinka iyo awowayaashiinba.

⁷And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers.

⁸Markii Yacquub Masar yimid, oo awowayaashiin Rabbiga u qayshadeen, kolkaasaa Rabbigu soo diray Muuse iyo Haaruun, kuwaasoo awowayaashiin ka soo bixiyey Masar oo halkan soo dejiyey.

⁸When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

⁹Laakiinse way illoobeen Rabbigii Ilaahooda ahaa, markaasuu wuxuu ka iibsaday oo gacanta u geliyey Siiseraa, oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Xaasoor, oo wuxuu geliyey gacantii reer Falastiin, iyo gacantii boqorkii reer Moo'aab, wayna la dirireen iyaga.

⁹And they forgot Jehovah their God, and 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.

¹⁰Markaasay Rabbiga u qayshadeen, oo yidhaahdeen, Waannu dembaabnay, maxaa yeelay, waannu kaa tagnay, Rabbiyow, oo u adeegnay Bacaliim iyo Cashtarod, laakiinse haatan naga samatabbixi gacanta cadaawayaashayada, oo waannu kuu adeegi doonnaa.

¹⁰And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

¹¹Dabadeedna Rabbigu wuxuu soo diray Yerubbacal, iyo Bedaan, iyo Yeftaah, iyo Samuu'eel, oo idinka samatabbixiyey gacantii cadaawayaashiinnii dhan walba idinka jiray, oo ammaan baad ku degganaateen.

¹¹And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.

¹²Oo markii aad aragteen boqorkii Naaxaash ahaa oo reer Cammoon inuu idinku soo duulay, waxaad igu tidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse waa inuu boqor noo taliyaa; markaasna waxaa boqor idiin ahaa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

¹²But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.

¹³Haddaba bal eega boqorkii aad doorateen oo aad i weyddiisateen, oo hadda bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu idiin yeelay boqor idiin taliya.

¹³And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.

¹⁴Waa hagaag, haddii aad Rabbiga ka cabsataan oo aad u adeegtaan, oo aad codkiisa maqashaan, oo aydnaan ku caasiyoobin amarka Rabbiga, oo aad idinka iyo boqorka idiin taliyaaba ahaataan kuwo raacaya Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

¹⁴If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.

¹⁵Laakiinse haddii aydnaan dhegaysan codka Rabbiga, illowse aad ku caasiyowdaan amarka Rabbiga, de markaas gacanta Rabbigu gees bay idinka ahaanaysaa, siday awowayaashiinba uga ahayd.

¹⁵But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.

¹⁶Haddaba bal joogsada oo eega waxan weyn oo uu Rabbigu ku samayn doono hortiinna.

¹⁶Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.

¹⁷Sow maanta ma aha maalintii sarreenka la gooynayay? Anigu Rabbigaan baryayaa inuu soo diro onkod iyo roob; oo idinna markaasaad ogaan doontaan oo arki doontaan inuu weyn yahay sharkiinna aad Rabbiga hortiisa ku samayseen markaad boqor weyddiisateen.

¹⁷Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king.

¹⁸Saas aawadeed Samuu'eel Rabbiguu baryay, oo Rabbiguna maalintaasuu onkod iyo roob soo diray, oo dadkii oo dhammuna aad iyo aad bay uga cabsadeen Rabbiga iyo Samuu'eelba.

¹⁸And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

¹⁹Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu waxay Samuu'eel ku yidhaahdeen, Addoommadaada u bari Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, yaannan dhimanne, waayo, dembiyadayadii oo dhan waxaan ku darsannay sharkan markaannu boqor weyddiisannay.

¹⁹And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.

²⁰Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Ha cabsanina; xaqiiqa, waxaad samayseen sharkan oo dhan, laakiinse gees ha uga leexanina Rabbiga lasocodkiisa, waxaadse ugu adeegtaan qalbigiinna oo dhan;

²⁰And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: *ye* have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;

²¹oo gees ha uga leexanina, waayo, markaas waxaad raaci lahaydeen waxyaalo aan micne lahayn ee aan waxba tari karin, waxna badbaadin karin, waayo, iyagu micne ma leh.

²¹and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

²²Maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu ka tegi maayo dadkiisa, magiciisa weyn aawadiis; maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga way ka farxisay inuu dad idinka dhigto.

²²For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.

²³Oo haddana aniga xaggayga, Ilaah ha iga fogeeyo inaan Rabbiga ku dembaabo, taasoo ah anoo joojinaya inaan idiin duceeyo; laakiinse waxaan idin barayaa jidka wanaagsan oo qumman.

²³Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way.

²⁴Laakiinse idinku Rabbiga ka cabsada, oo si run ah qalbigiinna oo dhan ugu adeega; waayo, bal ka fiirsada waxyaalaha waaweyn oo uu idiin sameeyey.Laakiinse haddaad shar sii samaysaan waa laydin baabbi'in doonaa idinka iyo boqorkiinnaba.

²⁴Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.

²⁵Laakiinse haddaad shar sii samaysaan waa laydin baabbi'in doonaa idinka iyo boqorkiinnaba.

²⁵But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
