1When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
1A ELEMAKULE o Samuela, hoolilo aku la ia i kana mau keiki i mau lunakanawai no ka Iseraela.
2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
2A o Ioela ka inoa o kana keiki mua, a o Abia ka inoa o ka lua o kana keiki: he mau lunakanawai laua ma Beereseba.
3His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
3Aka, aole i hele kana mau keiki ma kona aoao; huli ae la laua mamuli o ka waiwai alunu, a lawe laua i ke kipe, a hookahuli i ka pono.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.
4Alaila hoakoakoaia'e la na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, a hele mai io Samuela la ma Rama,
5They said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
5I mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ua elemakule oe, aole i hele kau mau keiki ma kou aoao: ano e hoonoho oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono e like me na lahuikanaka a pau.
6But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
6Ua hewa ia mea i ka manao o Samuela, i ka lakou i olelo mai ai, E haawi oe i alii no makou, nana makou e hooponopono. A pule aku la o Samuela ia Iehova.
7The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me as the king over them.
7I mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ka leo o na kanaka i na mea a pau a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe: no ka mea, aole lakou i hoowahawaha ia oe, aka, ua hoowahawaha mai lakou ia'u, i alii ole ai au maluna o lakou.
8According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so they also do to you.
8E like me na hana a pau a lakou i hana'i, mai ka manawa a'u i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai Aigupita mai, a hiki i keia manawa, ia lakou i haalele ai ia'u, a malama aku i na akua e; pela lakou e hana nei ia oe.
9Now therefore, listen to their voice. However, you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who will reign over them.”
9Ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo; aka, e ao ikaika aku oe ia lakou, a e hoike aku hoi i ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o lakou.
10Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.
10Hai aku la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a Iehova i na kanaka i noi ai ia ia i alii.
11He said, “This will be the way of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them as his servants, for his chariots and to be his horsemen; and they will run before his chariots.
11Olelo aku la ia, Eia ke ano o ke alii e alii ai maluna o oukou; E lawe no ia i na keikikane a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou nona ma na halekaa ona, a ma kona poe hoohololio, a e holo no kekahi mamua o na halekaa ona.
12He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest; and to make his instruments of war and the instruments of his chariots.
12A e hoonoho no ia nona i na lunatausani a me na lunakanalima, a no ka mahi i kana mahi ana, a no ke oki ana i kana ai, a no ka hana ana i kana mea kaua, a me na mea o kona mau halekaa.
13He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers.
13A e lawe no ia i na kaikamahine a oukou i mea hana i na mea ono, a i mea kuke, a i mea kahu ai.
14He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.
14A e lawe no ia i na mahinaai o oukou, a me ka oukou pawaina, a me ka oukou paoliva, i na mea maikai, a e haawi aku na kana poe kauwa.
15He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.
15A e lawe no ia i ka hapaumi o na hua a oukou, a o na pawaina, a e haawi aku na kona mau luna, me kana mau kauwa.
16He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.
16A e lawe no hoi ia i na kauwakane a oukou, a me na kauwawahine a oukou, a me ko oukou poe kanaka ui maikai, a me na hoki a oukou, a e hoonoho ia lakou no kana hana.
17He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.
17E lawe hoi ia i ka hapaumi o ka oukou poe hipa: a e lilo oukou i poe kauwa nana.
18You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
18A e uwe nui oukou ia la, no ko oukou alii a oukou i koho ai no oukou; aole o Iehova e hoolohe mai ia oukou ia la.
19But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
19Aka, aole loa i hoolohe mai na kanaka i ka leo o Samuela: i mai la lakou, Aole, ua makemake no makou i alii maluna o makou,
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.”
20I like ai makou me na lahuikanaka e a pau; a i hooponopono ko makou alii ia makou, a e hele ia mamua o makou, a e kaua aku i ko makou kaua.
21Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
21Hoolohe ae la o Samuela i ka olelo a pau a na kanaka, a hai aku la ia mea i na pepeiao o Iehova.
22The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.” Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go to your own city.”
22Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Samuela, E hoolohe oe i ko lakou leo, a e hoonoho oe i alii no lakou. Olelo aku la o Samuela i na kanaka o ka Iseraela, E hoi oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona kulanakauhale.
