1 Samuel 8

And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges to Israel;

Y ACONTECIÓ que habiendo Samuel envejecido, puso sus hijos por jueces sobre Israel.

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

When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.

and the name of his firstborn son was, Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah,—they were judges in Beer-sheba.

Y el nombre de su hijo primogénito fué Joel, y el nombre del segundo, Abia: fueron jueces en Beer-sebah.

Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.

Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.

Howbeit his sons walked not in his ways, but stooped to extortion,—and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Mas no anduvieron los hijos por los caminos de su padre, antes se ladearon tras la avaricia, recibiendo cohecho y pervirtiendo el derecho.

And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

So then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together,—and came unto Samuel, to Ramah;

Entonces todos los ancianos de Israel se juntaron, y vinieron á Samuel en Rama,

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

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.

and said unto him—Lo! thou, art old, and, thy sons, walk not in thy ways: Now, appoint for us a king to judge us, like all the nations.

Y dijéronle: He aquí tú has envejecido, y tus hijos no van por tus caminos: por tanto, constitúyenos ahora un rey que nos juzgue, como todas las gentes.

And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

They 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.”

But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give unto us a king to judge us. So Samuel prayed unto Yahweh.

Y descontentó á Samuel esta palabra que dijeron: Danos rey que nos juzgue. Y Samuel oró á Jehová.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

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

And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they shall say unto thee,—for, not thee, have they rejected, but, me, have they rejected, from being king over them.

Y dijo Jehová á Samuel: Oye la voz del pueblo en todo lo que te dijeren: porque no te han desechado á ti, sino á mí me han desechado, para que no reine sobre ellos.

And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

The 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.

According to all the doings which they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even until this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so, are they doing even unto thee.

Conforme á todas las obras que han hecho desde el día que los saqué de Egipto hasta hoy, que me han dejado y han servido á dioses ajenos, así hacen también contigo.

According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

According 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.

Now, therefore, hearken to their voice,—save that thou, enter protest, against them, and tell them the manner of the king who will reign over them.

Ahora pues, oye su voz: mas protesta contra ellos declarándoles el derecho del rey que ha de reinar sobre ellos.

Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

Now 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.”

So then Samuel spake all the words of Yahweh unto the people, who were asking of him, a king.

Y dijo Samuel todas las palabras de Jehová al pueblo que le había pedido rey.

And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

Samuel told all the LORD’s words to the people who asked him for a king.

And he said, This, will be the manner of the king who will reign over you,—Your sons, will he take and appoint for himself, as his charioteers and as his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;

Dijo pues: Este será el derecho del rey que hubiere de reinar sobre vosotros: tomará vuestros hijos, y pondrálos en sus carros, y en su gente de á caballo, para que corran delante de su carro:

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

He 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.

and he will appoint for himself, princes of thousands, and princes of fifties,—and to plough his fields, and to reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war, and the instruments of his chariots;

Y se elegirá capitanes de mil, y capitanes de cincuenta: pondrálos asimismo á que aren sus campos, y sieguen sus mieses, y á que hagan sus armas de guerra, y los pertrechos de sus carros:

And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

He 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.

And, your daughters, will he take,—as perfumers and as cooks, and as bakers;

Tomará también vuestras hijas para que sean perfumadoras, cocineras, y amasadoras.

And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

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

And, your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best of them, will he take, and give to his servants;

Asimismo tomará vuestras tierras, vuestras viñas, y vuestros buenos olivares, y los dará á sus siervos.

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

He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants.

And, your seed, and your vineyards, will he tithe, and give to his courtiers and to his servants;

El diezmará vuestras simientes y vuestras viñas, para dar á sus eunucos y á sus siervos.

And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.

He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants.

And, your men-servants, and your maidservants, and your oxen, even the goodliest, and your asses, will he take,—and put them to his work;

El tomará vuestros siervos, y vuestras siervas, y vuestros buenos mancebos, y vuestros asnos, y con ellos hará sus obras.

And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.

Your flocks, will he tithe,—and, ye yourselves, shall become his servants.

Diezmará también vuestro rebaño, y seréis sus siervos.

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants.

Then will ye make outcry, in that day, because of your king whom ye have chosen for yourselves,—and Yahweh will not answer you, in that day.

Y clamaréis aquel día á causa de vuestro rey que os habréis elegido, mas Jehová no os oirá en aquel día.

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

You 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.”

But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel,—and they said—Nay! but, a king, shall be over us:

Empero el pueblo no quiso oir la voz de Samuel; antes dijeron: No, sino que habrá rey sobre nosotros:

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

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

so shall, even we, become like all the nations,—and our king shall judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our battles.

Y nosotros seremos también como todas las gentes, y nuestro rey nos gobernará, y saldrá delante de nosotros, y hará nuestras guerras.

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.

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.”

And Samuel heard all the words of the people,—and spake them in the ears of Yahweh.

Y oyó Samuel todas las palabras del pueblo, y refiriólas en oídos de Jehová.

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.

Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.

And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel: Go ye, every man to his own city.

Y Jehová dijo á Samuel: Oye su voz, y pon rey sobre ellos. Entonces dijo Samuel á los varones de Israel: Idos cada uno á su ciudad.

And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
