1 O o markii Samuu'eel gaboobay ayuu wiilashiisii xaakinno uga dhigay reer binu Israa'iil.

Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

2 O o wiilkiisa curadka ahaa magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Yoo'eel, wiilkiisii labaadna magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Abiiyaah; oo waxay xaakinno ka ahaayeen Bi'ir Shebac.

The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

3 O o wiilashiisiina kuma ay socon jidadkiisii, laakiinse waxay u leexdeen si ay faa'iido u helaan, oo intay laaluush qaateen ayay gartii qalloociyeen.

But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

4 M arkaasaa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu isa soo urursadeen, oo Samuu'eel ugu yimaadeen Raamaah;

Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,

5 o o waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, waad gabowday, oo wiilashaaduna kuma socdaan jidadkaagii; haddaba noo yeel boqor na xukuma sida quruumaha kale oo dhan.

and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”

6 L aakiinse waxaasu Samuu'eel way la xumaayeen, markii ay ku yidhaahdeen, Na sii boqor na xukuma. Markaasaa Samuu'eel Rabbiga baryay.

But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord.

7 O o Rabbiguna wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Bal dhegayso codka dadka iyo kulli waxa ay ku leeyihiin oo dhan, waayo, adiga kuma ay diidin, laakiinse anay i diideen, inaanan iyaga u ahaan boqor.

And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.

8 S iday hore u yeeleen tan iyo maalintii aan ka soo bixiyey Masar iyo ilaa maantadan, taasoo ahayd inay iga tageen, oo ilaahyo kale u adeegeen, saasay adigana kugu samaynayaan.

According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.

9 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed bal codkooda dhegayso, habase yeeshee waa inaad aad ugu markhaati furtaa, oo waa inaad u sheegtaa boqorka xukumi doona siduu ahaan doono.

Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

10 O o Samuu'eelna wuxuu erayadii Rabbiga oo dhan u sheegay dadkii boqorka weyddiistay.

So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who asked him for a king.

11 M arkaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Boqorka idin xukumayaa wuxuu ahaanayaa sidan: wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa wiilashiinna, oo wuxuu ka dhigan doonaa kuwa gaadhifardoodka u wada, iyo fardooleydiisa, oo iyana waxay hor ordi doonaan gaadhifardoodkiisa.

And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

12 H addana wuxuu iyaga ka dhigan doonaa saraakiil kun kun u sarreeya iyo saraakiil konton konton u sarreeya, oo qaarna beerihiisay u fali doonaan, oo u gooyn doonaan, oo waxay u samayn doonaan alaabta dagaalka, iyo alaabta gaadhifardoodkiisa.

He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

13 O o gabdhihiinnana wuu idinka qaadan doonaa oo wuxuu ka dhigan doonaa kuwo uunsiga sameeya, iyo kuwo cuntada kariya, iyo kuwo kibista duba.

He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

14 O o wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa beerihiinna, iyo beerihiinna canabka ah, iyo beerihiinna saytuunka ah, iyo xataa meelaha ugu wada wanaagsan, oo wuxuu siin doonaa midiidinnadiisa.

And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

15 O o wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa iniinihiinna toban meelood oo meel iyo beerihiinna canabka ah, markaasuu siin doonaa saraakiishiisa, iyo midiidinnadiisa.

He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

16 O o haddana wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa raggiinna addoommada idiin ah, iyo gabdhaha addoommaha idiin ah, iyo dhallinyaradiinna ragga ugu wanaagsan, iyo dameerihiinna, markaasuu ku shaqaysan doonaa.

And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

17 O o wuxuu idinka qaadan doonaa adhigiinna toban meelood oo meel, oo idinna waxaad noqon doontaan addoommadiisa.

He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.

18 O o maalintaas waxaad ka qaylin doontaan boqorkiinna aad idinku doorateen oo Rabbiguna idiin jawaabi maayo maalintaas.

And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”

19 L aakiinse dadkii way diideen inay dhegaystaan Samuu'eel codkiisii, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse waxaannu yeelanaynaa boqor noo taliya;

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,

20 s i aannu ula mid noqonno quruumaha kale oo dhan; oo uu boqorkayagu noogu taliyo, oo uu noo hor kaco oo noo dagaallamo wakhtiga dirirta.

that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”

21 O o Samuu'eelna wuu maqlay erayadii dadka oo dhan, oo haddana wuxuu maqashiiyey dhegihii Rabbiga.

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the hearing of the Lord.

22 M arkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Codkooda maqal oo boqor u yeel iyaga. Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Taga oo ninkiin waluba magaaladiisii ha tago.

So the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed their voice, and make them a king.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Every man go to his city.”
