1When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
1Samuel khaw patong la a om coeng dongah a ca rhoek te Israel ham lai aka tloek la a khueh.
2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
2Te vaengah a ca cacuek ming tah Joel, a pabae ah Abijah te om tih Beersheba ah lai a tloek.
3His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
3A ca rhoi te amah long, amah long ah a pongpa rhoi kolla mueluemnah hnukah phael tih kapbaih a loh rhoi dongah laitloeknah khaw a haeh sak rhoi.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.
4Te dongah Israel kah a hamca rhoek tah boeih coi uh thae tih Ramah kah Samuel te a paan uh.
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.”
5Te phoeiah anih te, “Na patong coeng tih na ca rhoi te na longpuei ah a pongpa moenih ke, kaimih ham manghai khueh laeh, namtom cungkuem bangla kaimih lai aka tloek ham,” a ti na uh.
6But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
6Tedae ol te Samuel mik ah lolh coeng. “Kaimih lai aka tloek la kaimih taengah manghai m'pae,” a ti uh van neh Samuel tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
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.
7Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Samuel te, “A cungkuem la pilnam ol te hnatun lah, nang taengah a cal uh te nang n'hnawt uh dongah moenih. Tedae kai he ni amih kah manghai lamloh n'hnawt uh.
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.
8Egypt lamkah amih ka caeh puei khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela tekah khoboe te boeih a saii uh. Kai he n'hnoo uh tih Pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho a thueng uh. Amih tangkhuet loh nang taengah khaw a saii uh.
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.”
9Te dongah amih ol te hnatun mai. Tedae amih te rhalrhing rhoe rhalrhing sak lamtah manghai kah laitloeknah te amih taengah thui pah. Anih te amih soah manghai bitni,” a ti nah.
10Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.
10Te dongah Samuel loh BOEIPA ol boeih te amah taeng lamloh manghai aka bih pilnam taengah a thui.
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.
11Te vaengah, “Nangmih soah aka manghai ham manghai kah laitloeknah tah he tlam he om ni. Na ca rhoek te a loh vetih leng dongah amah ham tloep a khueh ni. A marhang caem yueng la leng hmai ah yong uh ni.
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.
12Te phoeiah a tawn te phoh pah ham, a cangah te aka ah pah ham, caemtloek hnopai neh leng dongkah hnopai aka saii ham te thawngkhat kah mangpa, sawmnga kah mangpa te a khueh ni.
13He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers.
13Na tanu rhoek te khaw buhpoep la, buthongnu la, maehhai la a loh ni.
14He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.
14Na khohmuen neh na misur khaw, na olive then te a rhawt vetih a sal taengla a paek ni.
15He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.
15Na cangtii neh na misur te parha ah pakhat a loh vetih a imkhoem neh a sal taengla a paek ni.
16He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.
16Na salpa neh na sal huta khaw, na tongpang then neh na laak khaw a loh vetih amah bi te a saii sak ni.
17He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.
17Nangmih kah boiva te a loh vetih namamih te anih kah sal la na om uh ni.
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.”
18Tekah khohnin ah namamih ham na tuek uh na manghai kongah na pang uh cakhaw amah khohnin ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'doo van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
19But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
19Tedae Samuel ol te hnatun ham pilnam loh a aal uh tih, “Moenih, manghai pakhat tah kaimih soah om saeh.
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.”
20Te daengah ni kaimih khaw namtom rhoek bangla boeih ka om uh eh. Ka manghai long tah kaimih ham lai a tloek vetih kaimih hmai ah lamhma ni, kaimih kah caemtloek khaw a tloek ni,” a ti uh.
21Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
21Pilnam ol te Samuel loh boeih a yaak vaengah tah BOEIPA kah a hna dongla a thui pah.
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.”
22Tedae Samuel te BOEIPA loh, “Amih ol te hnatun lamtah manghai pakhat tah amih taengah manghai sak,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Israel hlang rhoek te Samuel loh, “Hlang boeih loh amah kho la cet laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
