Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
1Ke Samuel el matuoh, el oru tuh wen natul in mwet nununku fin mwet Israel.
2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
2Inen wen se ma matu pa Joel, ac ma se akluo pa Abijah. Eltal mwet nununku in acn Beersheba.
3His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
3Tusruktu eltal tia fahsr tukun oakwuk lun papa tumaltal. Eltal nunku na ke mani, oru eltal tia nununku suwohs, a eltal wi na lungse lun mwet su moli yohk nu seltal.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.
4Na mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel elos toeni ac som nu yorol Samuel in acn Ramah,
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.”
5ac fahk nu sel, “Kom matuoh inge, a wen luo nutum eltal tiana fahsr ke oakwuk lom. Ke ma inge, sulela nu sesr sie tokosra in kol kut, tuh kut in oana mutunfacl saya.”
6But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
6Samuel el tia insewowo ke siyuk se inge tuh in oasr sie tokosra, na el pre kac nu sin LEUM GOD .
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.
7Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Porongo ma nukewa ma mwet inge fahk nu sum an. Tia kom pa elos sisla, a nga pa elos sisla tuh nga in tia tokosra faclos.
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 ke pacl se nga tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt nwe misenge, elos nuna sissisyu ac alu nu sin god saya. Inge elos oru nu sum oana ma elos oru nu sik pacl nukewa.
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.”
9Ke ma inge, porongo ma elos fahk an, tusruktu kom in sensenkakinulos ac akkalemye ke ouiya nukewa ma sie tokosra el ac mau oaki nu selos uh.”
10Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.
10Samuel el fahkang kas nukewa lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet su tuku siyuk ke sie tokosra.
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.
11El fahk, “Pa inge kutu oakwuk ma tokosra el ac oru nu suwos. El ac eis wen nutuwos tuh elos in mwet mweun — kutu selos fah kasrusr ke chariot in mweun natul, ac kutu selos fah kasrusr fin horse natul, ac kutu selos fah kasrusr meet liki chariot natul.
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.
12El ac fah sulela kutu selos in mwet kol fin tausin ac kutu fin lumngaul. Kutu sin wen nutuwos ac fah orekma in ima lal, ac kosrani in ima lal, ac orek kufwen mwe mweun ac mwe sroasr nu ke chariot natul.
13He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers.
13Acn nutuwos an ac fah enenu in orek mwe akmusra keng nu sel, ac orek mongo nal, ac manman flao nal.
14He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.
14El ac fah eis ima wo emeet lowos, oayapa ima in grape ac ima in olive lowos, ac el ac fah sang nu sin mwet pwapa lal.
15He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.
15El ac fah eis sie tafu singoul in wheat ac grape sunowos, ac sang nu sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal ac mwet pwapa lal.
16He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.
16El ac fah eisla mwet kulansap lowos mukul ac mutan, ac cow ac donkey nutuwos su wo emeet, tuh elos in orekma nu sel.
17He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.
17El ac fah eisla sie tafu singoul ke sheep ac goat nutuwos, ac kowos sifacna fah mwet kohs lal.
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.”
18Ke pacl se ma inge ac sikyak, kowos ac fah arulana torkaskas ke sripen tokosra lowos, su kowos tuh sifacna sulela. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac fah tia porongekowos.”
19But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
19Tusruktu mwet inge tiana lohang nu ke kas lal Samuel. Elos fahk, “Mo! Kut lungse in oasr sie tokosra lasr
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.”
20tuh kut in oana mutunfacl saya, na tokosra lasr el fah nununkekut ac kol kut ke pacl in mweun, ac mweun kacsr.”
21Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
21Samuel el porongo ma nukewa elos fahk, na el som ac fahkak ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD .
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.”
22Ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Oru ma elos fahk an ac sang sie tokosra nu selos.” Na Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Kowos nukewa folokla nu yen suwos an.”
