1 Samuel 8Modern English Version (MEV) Israel Demands a King 8 And it came about when Samuel was old, that he installed his sons as judges for Israel. 2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second son was Abijah. They were judging in Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not walk in his way, for they followed after unlawful gain, and they took bribes, and they perverted justice. 4 And all the elders of Israel gathered together and they came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now, install for us a king to govern us like all the nations.” 6 But the thing was evil in the eyes of Samuel, because they said, “Give us a king to govern us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 The Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in relation to all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but Me they have rejected from reigning over them. 8 Just as all the deeds which they have done to Me, from the day I brought them up from Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken Me and have served other gods, so they are doing also to you now. 9 Now then, obey their voice. Only you will testify against them and proclaim to them the judgment concerning the king who will reign over them.” 10 So Samuel said all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking from him a king. 11 And he said, “This will be the judgment concerning the king who will reign over you: Your sons he will take in order to place them for himself in his chariots and as his horsemen, and they will run before his chariot, 12 and in order to assign for himself captains of thousands and captains of fifties, and to plow his ground, and to gather in his harvest, and to make his weapons of war and the equipment of his chariots. 13 And your daughters he will take for perfumers, and cooks, and bakers. 14 And your choicest fields, and vineyards, and olive groves he will take and give them to his servants. 15 And of your seed fields and your vineyards he will take a tenth of their harvest and will give it to his high officials and to his servants. 16 And your menservants and your maidservants, and the best of your young men and asses he will take and make do his work. 17 Your flocks he will take a tenth of, but you will be his for slaves. 18 And you will cry out in that day because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.” 19 But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, “No! But surely a king will be over us! 20 So that we also will be like all the nations! And so that our king will govern us, and will go out before us, and will fight our battles.” 21 And after Samuel heard all the words of the people, he spoke them in the hearing of the Lord. 22 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey their voice, and make for them a king.” So Samuel said to Israel’s fighting men, “Go every man to his city.”

1 शमूएल 8Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) इस्राएलीहरूले राजाको माग गरे 8 शमूएल जब वृद्ध भए, तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई इस्राएलका न्यायकर्त्ता नियुक्त गरे। 2 शमूएलका जेठा छोराको नाउँ योएल थियो। माहिला छोराको नाउँ चाहिं अबियाह थियो। योएल र अबियाह बेर्शबामा न्यायकर्ता थिए। 3 तर शमूएलका छोराहरू बाबुको चालमा हिडेनन् योएल र अबियाहले घूस खाने गर्थे। चुपचाप घूस लिएर न्यायलयमा अन्याय गर्थे। 4 यसर्थ इस्राएलका सबै बूढा-प्रधानहरू शमूएललाई भेट्न रामामा भेला भए। 5 बूढा-प्रधानहरूले शमूएललाई भने, “तपाईं बूढा हुनुभयो, तपाईंका छोराहरू तपाईं जस्ता ठीक बाटामा छैनन्। अब, हामीलाई शासन अनि न्याय गर्न अरू देशहरूको जस्तै राजा दिनुहोस्।” 6 यसरी बूढा-प्रधानहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मार्ग दर्शन गर्ने एउटा राजा मागे। शमूएलले ठाने यो युक्ति गलत छ। यसर्थ शमूएलले परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना गरे। 7 शमूएललाई परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूले जसो भन्छन् त्यसै गर। तिनीहरूले तँलाई अस्वीकार गरेका छैनन्। बरू मलाई अस्वीकार गर्दैछन्। तिनीहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूको राजा हुन अस्वीकार गरिरहेका छन्। 8 तिनीहरूले सधैँ जे गर्थे त्यही गर्दैछन्। मैले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ। तर तिनीहरूले आज मलाई छाडेर अन्य देवताहरूको सेवा गरे। तिनीहरूले तँलाई पनि त्यस्तै गर्दैछन्। 9 यसर्थ मानिसहरूका कुरा सुनेर तिनीहरूले भने झैं गर। तर तिनीहरूलाई एउटा चेतावनी भने दिनु। तिनीहरूलाई भनिदिनु राजाले तिनीहरूलाई के गर्छ। एउटा राजाले मानिसहरूलाई कसरी शासन गर्छन्।” 10 ती मानिसहरूले एउटा राजाको माग गरे। यसकारण परमप्रभुले भन्नु भएका सम्पूर्ण कुराहरू शमूएलले मानिसहरूलाई बताए। 11 शमूएलले भने, “यदि तिमीहरू तिमीहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने राजा चाहान्छौ भने राजाले यसो गर्नेछन्। उसले तिमीहरूको छोराहरूलाई लाने छन् अनि उसको सेवा गर्न तिनीहरूलाई विवश पार्नेछन्। राजाले तिमीहरूका छोराहरूलाई सैनिक बनाएर उनका रथ सँगसँगै दौडन लगाउँने छन् र घोडचढी बनाएर आफ्नो सैनिकमा राख्नेछन्। तिमीहरूका छोरालाई आफ्ना रथको अघि दौडने रक्षक बनाउने छन्। 12 “राजाले तिम्रो छोराहरूलाई सैनिक बन्न वाध्य गराउने छन्। त्यसमध्ये कोही 1,000 मानिसहरूका अधिकारी बन्ने छन अनि अरू 50 जना भन्दा ज्यादा मानिसका। “राजाले तिम्रा छोरालाई उनको खेत जोत्न र फसल काट्न बाध्य गराउनेछन्। कतिलाई फेरि युद्धको निम्ति हातहतियार बनाउन लाउनेछन्। कतिलाई रथको चीजहरू बनाउँन लाउँनेछन्। 13 “राजाले तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई पनि लानेछन्। तिनीहरूमध्ये कतिलाई खाना पकाउन र रोटी पकाउन विवश गर्नेछन्। अनि कसैलाई अत्तर बनाउन बाध्य गर्नेछन्। 14 “राजाले तिमीहरूको सबभन्दा असल खेतहरू, दाखको बगैंचा र भद्राक्षका रूखहरू लानेछन्। अनि तिनीहरूलाई उसको सेवकहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिनेछन्। 15 तिमीहरूको अन्न र दाखको फसलको दशौ भाग राजाले लिनेछन्। अनि अधिकारीहरू अनि सेवकहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिनेछन्। 16 “राजाले तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारीहरूलाई पनि लैजाने छन्। उनले असल जातका पशु र गधाहरू पनि तिमीहरूबाट लिनेछन्। यी सबै लगेर आफ्नै प्रयोगमा लगाउँने छन्। 17 तिमीहरूका भेंडा बाख्राको दशौ भाग पनि तिनले लिनेछन्। “अनि तिमी आफैं पनि राजाको दास बनिनेछौ। 18 तब तिनीहरू आफूले चुनेको राजाबाट छुटकाराको निम्ति रूनेछौ। तर त्यस समय परमप्रभुले कुनै जवाफ दिनुहुने छैन।” 19 तर मानिसहरूले शमूएलको कुरा सुन्दैसुनेन्। तिनीहरूले भने, “होइन! हामीलाई शासन गर्ने एउटा राजा नै चाहिन्छ। 20 तब हामी पनि अरू देश सरह हुनेछौ, हामीलाई नेतृत्व दिने, हाम्रो अघि युद्ध लड्ने, हाम्रा निम्ति युद्ध गर्ने हाम्रा राजा हुनेछन्।” 21 शमूएलले मानिसहरूको भनाइ सुने पछि शमूएलले परमप्रभुलाई तिनीहरूका कुरा दोहोर्याइदिए। 22 परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनु भयो, “तिनीहरूले चाहे जस्तै! तिनीहरूलाई एउटा राजा देऊ।” तब शमूएलले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “ठीकै छ! तिमीहरूले एउटा राजा पाउँने भयौ। अहिले सबै तिमीहरूको शहरमा जाऊ।”
