Young's Literal Translation
And Samuel said
unto all Israel, Behold
, I have hearkened unto
your voice in
all that ye said unto
me, and have
made
a
king
over you .
And Samuel saith
unto all Israel, `Lo
, I have hearkened to
your voice ,
to
all that ye said to
me, and I
cause
to
reign
over you a
king,
And now, behold
, the king walketh
before you :
and I am
old
and
grayheaded;
and ,
behold
, my sons are with you :
and I have walked before you from my childhood
unto
this day.
and now, lo
, the king is
walking
habitually
before you ,
and I have
become
aged
and gray-headed
, and
my sons ,
lo,
they
`
are '
with you ,
and I have walked habitually
before you from my youth
till
this day.
Behold
, here I
am :
witness
against me before
the
LORD
, and before
his anointed :
whose ox have I taken ?
or
whose ass have I taken ?
or
whom have I defrauded?
whom have I oppressed?
or
of whose hand have I received
any
bribe
to
blind
mine eyes therewith
? and I will
restore it
you.
`Lo
, here `
am '
I;
testify
against me, over-against
Jehovah,
and over-against
His anointed ;
whose ox have I taken ,
and
whose ass have I taken ,
and
whom have I oppressed;
whom have I bruised,
and
of whose hand have I taken
a
ransom,
and
hide
mine eyes with
it
? --
and I restore to
you. '
And they said
, Thou hast not defrauded
us, nor oppressed
us, neither
hast thou taken ought
of any man's
hand
.
And they say
, `
Thou hast not oppressed
us, nor hast
thou
crushed
us, nor
hast thou taken from
the
hand
of any one
anything
. '
And he said
unto them, The
LORD
is
witness against you ,
and his anointed is
witness
this day, that ye have not found ought
in my hand .
And they answered
, He
is
witness.
And he saith
unto them, `A
witness `is'
Jehovah
against you :
and a
witness
`is'
His anointed this day, that ye have not found anything
in my hand ;'
and they say
, `A
witness. '
And Samuel said
unto the people, It
is
the
LORD
that
advanced
Moses and Aaron, and that
brought your fathers up
out of the land of Egypt .
And Samuel saith
unto the people, `Jehovah
--
He
who
made
Moses and Aaron, and who
brought up
your fathers out of the land of Egypt !
Now therefore
stand
still
, that
I may
reason
with
you before the
LORD
of
all the righteous acts of the
LORD
, which he did to
you and to
your fathers.
and,
now, station
yourselves,
and
I judge
you before Jehovah,
with
all the righteous acts of Jehovah
, which He did with
you ,
and with
your fathers.
When Jacob was
come into
Egypt, and your fathers cried
unto the
LORD
, then the
LORD
sent
Moses and Aaron, which
brought
forth
your fathers out
of
Egypt, and made
them dwell in this place .
`
When Jacob hath
come in
to
Egypt, and your fathers cry
unto Jehovah
, then Jehovah
sendeth
Moses and Aaron, and
they
bring
out
your fathers from
Egypt, and cause
them to
dwell in this place ,
And when
they forgat
the
LORD
their God, he sold
them into the hand of Sisera, captain
of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought
against them .
and they forget
Jehovah
their God, and
He selleth
them into the hand of Sisera, head
of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight
against them ,
And they cried
unto the
LORD
, and said
, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the
LORD
, and have
served
Baalim and Ashtaroth :
but
now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will
serve thee.
and they cry
unto Jehovah
, and say
, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah
, and serve
the
Baalim ,
and Ashtaroth ,
and
now ,
deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve Thee.
And the
LORD
sent
Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered
you out of the hand of your enemies on
every
side
, and ye dwelled
safe
.
`
And Jehovah
sendeth
Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivereth
you out of the hand of your enemies round
about
, and ye dwell
confidently
.
And when
ye saw
that Nahash the
king of the children
of
Ammon came
against you, ye said
unto
me, Nay ;
but a king shall
reign over us :
when
the
LORD
your God was
your king .
`
And ye see
that Nahash king of the Bene-
Ammon hath
come
against you, and
ye say
to
me, Nay ,
but a king doth
reign over us ;
and
Jehovah
your God `is'
your king !
Now therefore
behold
the king whom ye have chosen ,
and
whom ye have desired
! and ,
behold
, the
LORD
hath set
a
king
over you.
And,
now ,
lo,
the king whom ye have chosen --
whom ye have asked
! and lo
, Jehovah
hath placed
over you a
king
.
If ye will
fear the
LORD
, and serve
him, and obey
his voice, and
not rebel
against
the commandment
of the
LORD
, then
shall
both ye and also
the king that
reigneth
over you continue
following
the
LORD
your God :
`
If ye fear Jehovah
, and have
served
Him, and hearkened
to
His voice, then
ye
do
not provoke
the mouth
of Jehovah
, and
ye
have
been
--
both ye and the king who
hath
reigned
over you --
after
Jehovah
your God .
But
if ye will
not obey
the voice of the
LORD,
but
rebel
against
the commandment
of the
LORD
, then
shall
the hand of the
LORD
be
against you, as
it
was
against your fathers.
`And
if ye do
not hearken
to
the voice of Jehovah
--
then
ye
have
provoked
the mouth
of Jehovah
, and
the hand of Jehovah
hath
been
against you, and
against your fathers.
Now therefore
stand
and see this great thing ,
which the
LORD
will
do
before your eyes .
`Also
now ,
station
yourselves
and see this great thing which Jehovah
is
doing
before your eyes ;
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will
call unto the
LORD
, and he shall
send
thunder
and rain; that
ye may
perceive
and see that your wickedness
is great ,
which ye have done in the sight
of the
LORD
, in
asking
you a king.
is it not wheat -
harvest to -
day? I call unto Jehovah
, and He doth
give
voices
and rain; and
know
ye and see that your evil
is great which ye have done in the eyes
of Jehovah
, to
ask
for
you a king. '
So
Samuel called
unto the
LORD;
and the
LORD
sent
thunder
and rain that day :
and all the people greatly feared
the
LORD
and Samuel .
And
Samuel calleth
unto Jehovah,
and Jehovah
giveth
voices
and rain ,
on
that day ,
and all the people greatly fear
Jehovah
and Samuel ;
And all the people said
unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the
LORD
thy God, that
we die
not :
for we have added unto
all our sins this
evil ,
to ask us a king.
and all the people say
unto Samuel, `
Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah
thy God, and
we do
not die,
for we have added to
all our sins evil to ask for
us a king. '
And Samuel said
unto the people, Fear not :
ye have done all this wickedness:
yet
turn not aside from following
the
LORD,
but
serve
the
LORD
with all your heart ;
And Samuel saith
unto the people, `
Fear not ;
ye have done all this evil;
only,
turn not aside from after
Jehovah
--
and
ye
have
served
Jehovah
with all your heart ,
And turn
ye not aside :
for
then
should
ye
go
after vain things ,
which cannot
profit nor deliver ;
for they are vain .
and ye do
not turn
aside after the
vain things which do
not
profit nor deliver ,
for they `
are '
vain ,
For the
LORD
will
not forsake
his people for
his great name's
sake:
because
it
hath pleased the
LORD
to make you his
people.
for Jehovah
doth
not leave
His people ,
on
account
of
His great name;
for
Jehovah
hath been
pleased to make you to
Him
for
a
people.
Moreover
as
for
me,
God
forbid
that
I should
sin against the
LORD
in
ceasing to pray for you :
but
I will
teach
you the good and the
right
way :
`
I ,
also,
far
be
it
from
me
to
sin against Jehovah,
by
ceasing to pray for you ,
and
I have
directed
you in
the good and upright
way ;
Only fear the
LORD
, and serve
him in truth with all your heart :
for consider
how
great
things
he hath done
for
you .
only ,
fear ye
Jehovah
, and ye
have
served
Him in truth with all your heart ,
for see
that
which
He hath made
great
with
you ;
But
if ye shall
still
do wickedly,
ye
shall
be
consumed
, both ye and your king.
and
if ye really
do evil
, both ye and your king are
consumed
. '
