1Y ACONTECIÓ que habiendo Samuel envejecido, puso sus hijos por jueces sobre Israel.
1And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
2Y el nombre de su hijo primogénito fué Joel, y el nombre del segundo, Abia: fueron jueces en Beer-sebah.
2Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
3Mas no anduvieron los hijos por los caminos de su padre, antes se ladearon tras la avaricia, recibiendo cohecho y pervirtiendo el derecho.
3And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4Entonces todos los ancianos de Israel se juntaron, y vinieron á Samuel en Rama,
4Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
5Y dijéronle: He aquí tú has envejecido, y tus hijos no van por tus caminos: por tanto, constitúyenos ahora un rey que nos juzgue, como todas las gentes.
5And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
6Y descontentó á Samuel esta palabra que dijeron: Danos rey que nos juzgue. Y Samuel oró á Jehová.
6And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7Y dijo Jehová á Samuel: Oye la voz del pueblo en todo lo que te dijeren: porque no te han desechado á ti, sino á mí me han desechado, para que no reine sobre ellos.
7And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.
8Conforme á todas las obras que han hecho desde el día que los saqué de Egipto hasta hoy, que me han dejado y han servido á dioses ajenos, así hacen también contigo.
8According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee.
9Ahora pues, oye su voz: mas protesta contra ellos declarándoles el derecho del rey que ha de reinar sobre ellos.
9Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.
10Y dijo Samuel todas las palabras de Jehová al pueblo que le había pedido rey.
10Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
11Dijo pues: Este será el derecho del rey que hubiere de reinar sobre vosotros: tomará vuestros hijos, y pondrálos en sus carros, y en su gente de á caballo, para que corran delante de su carro:
11And said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to run before his chariots,
12Y se elegirá capitanes de mil, y capitanes de cincuenta: pondrálos asimismo á que aren sus campos, y sieguen sus mieses, y á que hagan sus armas de guerra, y los pertrechos de sus carros:
12And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.
13Tomará también vuestras hijas para que sean perfumadoras, cocineras, y amasadoras.
13Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.
14Asimismo tomará vuestras tierras, vuestras viñas, y vuestros buenos olivares, y los dará á sus siervos.
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
15El diezmará vuestras simientes y vuestras viñas, para dar á sus eunucos y á sus siervos.
15Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
16El tomará vuestros siervos, y vuestras siervas, y vuestros buenos mancebos, y vuestros asnos, y con ellos hará sus obras.
16Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to his work.
17Diezmará también vuestro rebaño, y seréis sus siervos.
17Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.
18Y clamaréis aquel día á causa de vuestro rey que os habréis elegido, mas Jehová no os oirá en aquel día.
18And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
19Empero el pueblo no quiso oir la voz de Samuel; antes dijeron: No, sino que habrá rey sobre nosotros:
19But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: but there shall be a king over us.
20Y nosotros seremos también como todas las gentes, y nuestro rey nos gobernará, y saldrá delante de nosotros, y hará nuestras guerras.
20And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
21Y oyó Samuel todas las palabras del pueblo, y refiriólas en oídos de Jehová.
21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
22Y Jehová dijo á Samuel: Oye su voz, y pon rey sobre ellos. Entonces dijo Samuel á los varones de Israel: Idos cada uno á su ciudad.
22And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city.
