1. וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר זָקֵן שְׁמוּאֵל וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־בָּנָיו שֹׁפְטִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל ׃
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 , when H834 Samuel H8050 was old H2204 , that he made H7760 H853 his sons H1121 judges H8199 over Israel H3478 .
|
|
2. וַיְהִי שֶׁם־בְּנוֹ הַבְּכוֹר יוֹאֵל וְשֵׁם מִשְׁנֵהוּ אֲבִיָּה שֹׁפְטִים בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע ׃
|
2. Now the name H8034 of his firstborn H1060 was H1961 Joel H3100 ; and the name H8034 of his second H4932 , Abiah H29 : they were judges H8199 in Beer H884 -sheba.
|
|
3. וְלֹא־הָלְכוּ בָנָיו בְּדַרְכוֹ וַיִּטּוּ אַחֲרֵי הַבָּצַע וַיִּקְחוּ־שֹׁחַד וַיַּטּוּ מִשְׁפָּט ׃ פ
|
3. And his sons H1121 walked H1980 not H3808 in his ways H1870 , but turned aside H5186 after H310 lucre H1215 , and took H3947 bribes H7810 , and perverted H5186 judgment H4941 .
|
|
4. וַיִּתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָתָה ׃
|
4. Then all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together H6908 , and came H935 to H413 Samuel H8050 unto Ramah H7414 ,
|
|
5. וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אַתָּה זָקַנְתָּ וּבָנֶיךָ לֹא הָלְכוּ בִּדְרָכֶיךָ עַתָּה שִׂימָה־לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ כְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם ׃
|
5. And said H559 unto H413 him, Behold H2009 , thou H859 art old H2204 , and thy sons H1121 walk H1980 not H3808 in thy ways H1870 : now H6258 make H7760 us a king H4428 to judge H8199 us like all H3605 the nations H1471 .
|
|
6. וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי שְׁמוּאֵל כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ תְּנָה־לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה ׃ פ
|
6. But the thing H1697 displeased H3415 H5869 Samuel H8050 , when H834 they said H559 , Give H5414 us a king H4428 to judge H8199 us . And Samuel H8050 prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקוֹל הָעָם לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ כִּי לֹא אֹתְךָ מָאָסוּ כִּי־אֹתִי מָאֲסוּ מִמְּלֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם ׃
|
7. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Samuel H8050 , Hearken H8085 unto the voice H6963 of the people H5971 in all H3605 that H834 they say H559 unto H413 thee: for H3588 they have not H3808 rejected H3988 thee, but H3588 they have rejected H3988 me , that I should not reign H4480 H4427 over H5921 them.
|
|
8. כְּכָל־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂוּ מִיּוֹם הַעֲלֹתִי אֹתָם מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד־הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וַיַּעַזְבֻנִי וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים כֵּן הֵמָּה עֹשִׂים גַּם־לָךְ ׃
|
8. According to all H3605 the works H4639 which H834 they have done H6213 since the day H4480 H3117 that I brought them up H5927 H853 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 even unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , wherewith they have forsaken H5800 me , and served H5647 other H312 gods H430 , so H3651 do H6213 they H1992 also H1571 unto thee.
|
|
9. וְעַתָּה שְׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם אַךְ כִּי־הָעֵד תָּעִיד בָּהֶם וְהִגַּדְתָּ לָהֶם מִשְׁפַּט הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִמְלֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם ׃ ס
|
9. Now H6258 therefore hearken H8085 unto their voice H6963 : howbeit H389 yet H3588 protest solemnly H5749 H5749 unto them , and show H5046 them the manner H4941 of the king H4428 that H834 shall reign H4427 over H5921 them.
|
|
10. וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֶל־הָעָם הַשֹּׁאֲלִים מֵאִתּוֹ מֶלֶךְ ׃ ס
|
10. And Samuel H8050 told H559 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 the people H5971 that asked H7592 of H4480 H854 him a king H4428 .
|
|
11. וַיֹּאמֶר זֶה יִהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִמְלֹךְ עֲלֵיכֶם אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם יִקָּח וְשָׂם לוֹ בְּמֶרְכַּבְתּוֹ וּבְפָרָשָׁיו וְרָצוּ לִפְנֵי מֶרְכַּבְתּוֹ ׃
|
11. And he said H559 , This H2088 will be H1961 the manner H4941 of the king H4428 that H834 shall reign H4427 over H5921 you : He will take H3947 H853 your sons H1121 , and appoint H7760 them for himself , for his chariots H4818 , and to be his horsemen H6571 ; and some shall run H7323 before H6440 his chariots H4818 .
|
|
12. וְלָשׂוּם לוֹ שָׂרֵי אֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי חֲמִשִּׁים וְלַחֲרֹשׁ חֲרִישׁוֹ וְלִקְצֹר קְצִירוֹ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת כְּלֵי־מִלְחַמְתּוֹ וּכְלֵי רִכְבּוֹ ׃
|
12. And he will appoint H7760 him captains H8269 over thousands H505 , and captains H8269 over fifties H2572 ; and will set them to ear H2790 his ground H2758 , and to reap H7114 his harvest H7105 , and to make H6213 his instruments H3627 of war H4421 , and instruments H3627 of his chariots H7393 .
|
|
13. וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיכֶם יִקָּח לְרַקָּחוֹת וּלְטַבָּחוֹת וּלְאֹפוֹת ׃
|
13. And he will take H3947 your daughters H1323 to be confectionaries H7548 , and to be cooks H2879 , and to be bakers H644 .
|
|
14. וְאֶת־שְׂדוֹתֵיכֶם וְאֶת־כַּרְמֵיכֶם וְזֵיתֵיכֶם הַטּוֹבִים יִקָּח וְנָתַן לַעֲבָדָיו ׃
|
14. And he will take H3947 your fields H7704 , and your vineyards H3754 , and your oliveyards H2132 , even the best H2896 of them , and give H5414 them to his servants H5650 .
|
|
15. וְזַרְעֵיכֶם וְכַרְמֵיכֶם יַעְשֹׂר וְנָתַן לְסָרִיסָיו וְלַעֲבָדָיו ׃
|
15. And he will take the tenth H6237 of your seed H2233 , and of your vineyards H3754 , and give H5414 to his officers H5631 , and to his servants H5650 .
|
|
16. וְאֶת־עַבְדֵיכֶם וְאֶת־שִׁפְחוֹתֵיכֶם וְאֶת־בַּחוּרֵיכֶם הַטּוֹבִים וְאֶת־חֲמוֹרֵיכֶם יִקָּח וְעָשָׂה לִמְלַאכְתּוֹ ׃
|
16. And he will take H3947 your menservants H5650 , and your maidservants H8198 , and your goodliest H2896 young men H970 , and your asses H2543 , and put H6213 them to his work H4399 .
|
|
17. צֹאנְכֶם יַעְשֹׂר וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ־לוֹ לַעֲבָדִים ׃
|
17. He will take the tenth H6237 of your sheep H6629 : and ye H859 shall be H1961 his servants H5650 .
|
|
18. וּזְעַקְתֶּם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא מִלִּפְנֵי מַלְכְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם לָכֶם וְלֹא־יַעֲנֶה יְהוָה אֶתְכֶם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא ׃
|
18. And ye shall cry out H2199 in that H1931 day H3117 because H4480 H6440 of your king H4428 which H834 ye shall have chosen H977 you ; and the LORD H3068 will not H3808 hear H6030 you in that H1931 day H3117 .
|
|
19. וַיְמָאֲנוּ הָעָם לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקוֹל שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹּא כִּי אִם־מֶלֶךְ יִהְיֶה עָלֵינוּ ׃
|
19. Nevertheless the people H5971 refused H3985 to obey H8085 the voice H6963 of Samuel H8050 ; and they said H559 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 H518 we will have H1961 a king H4428 over H5921 us;
|
|
20. וְהָיִינוּ גַם־אֲנַחְנוּ כְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם וּשְׁפָטָנוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ וְיָצָא לְפָנֵינוּ וְנִלְחַם אֶת־מִלְחֲמֹתֵנוּ ׃
|
20. That we H587 also H1571 may be H1961 like all H3605 the nations H1471 ; and that our king H4428 may judge H8199 us , and go out H3318 before H6440 us , and fight H3898 H853 our battles H4421 .
|
|
21. וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי הָעָם וַיְדַבְּרֵם בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוָה ׃ פ
|
21. And Samuel H8050 heard H8085 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the people H5971 , and he rehearsed H1696 them in the ears H241 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
22. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם וְהִמְלַכְתָּ לָהֶם מֶלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל־אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכוּ אִישׁ לְעִירוֹ ׃ פ
|
22. And the LORD H3068 said H559 to H413 Samuel H8050 , Hearken H8085 unto their voice H6963 , and make them a king H4427 H4428 . And Samuel H8050 said H559 unto H413 the men H376 of Israel H3478 , Go H1980 ye every man H376 unto his city H5892 .
