1 Samuel 8

Wycliffe WYC

1 And it was done, when Samuel waxed eld, he set his sons to be judges of Israel. (And it was done, when Samuel grew old, he made his sons to be judges in Israel.)

2 And the name of his first begotten son was Joel, and the name of the second was Abiah, that were judges in Beersheba (and they were judges in Beersheba).

3 And his sons went not in his ways, but they bowed after avarice, and they took gifts, and perverted doom (and perverted justice, or judgement).

4 Therefore all the greater men in birth of Israel were gathered together, and came to Samuel into Ramah. (And so all the men of great age, that is, the elders, of Israel gathered together, and came to Samuel in Ramah.)

5 And they said to him, Lo! thou hast waxed eld, and thy sons go not in thy ways; ordain thou a king to us, that he deem us, as also all other nations have. (And they said to him, Lo! thou hast grown old, and thy sons do not go in thy ways; ordain thou a king for us, so that he can judge, or can rule, us, like all the other nations have.)

6 And the word displeased in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, Give thou to us a king, that he deem us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. (And this request displeased Samuel, for they had said, Give thou a king to us, so that he can judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.)

7 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear thou the voice of the people in all things that they speak to thee; for they have not cast away thee (for they have not thrown thee away), but me, (so) that I reign not upon them.

8 By all the works that they have done, from the day in which I led them out of Egypt unto this day, as they have forsaken me, and they have served alien gods, so they do also to thee (and they have served foreign, or other, gods, and now they also do to thee).

9 Now therefore hear thou their voice; nevertheless witness thou to them; and before-say thou to them the right of the king, that shall reign upon them (and tell thou them, the rights of the king who shall reign over them).

10 Then Samuel said all the words of the Lord to the people, that had asked of him a king (who had asked him for a king);

11 and he said, This shall be the right of the king, that shall command to you; he shall take your sons, and he shall set them in his chariots; and he shall make them to himself riders, and before-goers of his carts (and he shall make them to be his horsemen, or his riders, and to run before his chariots);

12 and he shall ordain to him tribunes, that is, sovereigns of a thousand, and centurions, that is, sovereigns of an hundred, and earers/tillers of his fields, and reapers of his corns, and smiths of his armours, and (smiths) of his chariots. (and he shall ordain his tribunes, that is, the rulers of a thousand, and his centurions, that is, the rulers of a hundred, and the tillers of his fields, and the reapers of his harvest, and the smiths of his arms, or of his weapons, and the smiths of his chariots.)

13 Also he shall make your daughters (to be) makers of his ointments, and his fire-makers (and his cooks), and (his) bakers/his makers of bread.

14 And he shall take your fields, and your vineries (and your vineyards), and the best places of olives, and he shall give those to his servants.

15 But also he shall take the tenth part of your corns, and (of) the rents of your vineries, that he give those to his chamberlains, and [to his] servants.

16 And he shall take away your servants, and your handmaids, and your best young men, and your asses, and he shall set these in his work. (And he shall take away your servants, and your servantesses, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and he shall make them do his bidding/and he shall make them work for him.)

17 Also he shall take the tenth part of your flocks; and ye shall be his servants.

18 And ye shall cry in that day from the face of your king, whom ye have chosen to you; and the Lord shall not hear you in that day; for ye [have] asked (for) a king to you. (And ye shall cry out on that day because of your king, whom ye have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord shall not hear you on that day; for ye have asked for a king for yourselves.)

19 Soothly the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, but they said, Nay, for a king shall be on us; (But the people would not listen to Samuel, and they said, No! let a king rule over us;)

20 and (then) we also shall be as all folks (and then we shall be like all the other nations), and our king shall deem us, and he shall go out before us, and he shall fight our battles for us.

21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spake them in the ears of the Lord.

22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear thou their voices, and ordain thou a king upon them. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Each man go into his city (Now everyone go home).

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 factum est autem cum senuisset Samuhel posuit filios suos iudices Israhel

2 fuitque nomen filii eius primogeniti Iohel et nomen secundi Abia iudicum in Bersabee

3 et non ambulaverunt filii illius in viis eius sed declinaverunt post avaritiam acceperuntque munera et perverterunt iudicium

4 congregati ergo universi maiores natu Israhel venerunt ad Samuhel in Ramatha

5 dixeruntque ei ecce tu senuisti et filii tui non ambulant in viis tuis constitue nobis regem ut iudicet nos sicut universae habent nationes

6 displicuitque sermo in oculis Samuhelis eo quod dixissent da nobis regem ut iudicet nos et oravit Samuhel Dominum

7 dixit autem Dominus ad Samuhel audi vocem populi in omnibus quae loquuntur tibi non enim te abiecerunt sed me ne regnem super eos

8 iuxta omnia opera sua quae fecerunt a die qua eduxi eos de Aegypto usque ad diem hanc sicut dereliquerunt me et servierunt diis alienis sic faciunt etiam tibi

9 nunc ergo audi vocem eorum verumtamen contestare eos et praedic eis ius regis qui regnaturus est super eos

10 dixit itaque Samuhel omnia verba Domini ad populum qui petierat a se regem

11 et ait hoc erit ius regis qui imperaturus est vobis filios vestros tollet et ponet in curribus suis facietque sibi equites et praecursores quadrigarum suarum

12 et constituet sibi tribunos et centuriones et aratores agrorum suorum et messores segetum et fabros armorum et curruum suorum

13 filias quoque vestras faciet sibi unguentarias et focarias et panificas

14 agros quoque vestros et vineas et oliveta optima tollet et dabit servis suis

15 sed et segetes vestras et vinearum reditus addecimabit ut det eunuchis et famulis suis

16 servos etiam vestros et ancillas et iuvenes optimos et asinos auferet et ponet in opere suo

17 greges vestros addecimabit vosque eritis ei servi

18 et clamabitis in die illa a facie regis vestri quem elegistis vobis et non exaudiet vos Dominus in die illa

19 noluit autem populus audire vocem Samuhel sed dixerunt nequaquam rex enim erit super nos

20 et erimus nos quoque sicut omnes gentes et iudicabit nos rex noster et egredietur ante nos et pugnabit bella nostra pro nobis

21 et audivit Samuhel omnia verba populi et locutus est ea in auribus Domini

22 dixit autem Dominus ad Samuhel audi vocem eorum et constitue super eos regem et ait Samuhel ad viros Israhel vadat unusquisque in civitatem suam
