1 Samuel 8Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Israel Asks for a King 8 When Samuel was old, he appointed his sons to be judges for Israel. 2 Samuel’s first son was named Joel. His second son was named Abijah. Joel and Abijah were judges in Beersheba. 3 But Samuel’s sons did not live the same way he did. Joel and Abijah accepted bribes. They took money secretly and changed their decisions in court. They cheated people in court. 4 So all the elders of Israel met together and went to Ramah to meet with Samuel. 5 The elders said to Samuel, “You’re old, and your sons don’t live right. They are not like you. Now, give us a king to rule us like all the other nations.” 6 So the elders asked for a king to lead them. Samuel thought this was a bad idea, so he prayed to the Lord. 7 The Lord told Samuel, “Do what the people tell you. They have not rejected you. They have rejected me. They don’t want me to be their king. 8 They are doing the same thing they have always done. I took them out of Egypt, but they left me and served other gods. They are doing the same to you. 9 So listen to the people and do what they say. But give them a warning. Tell the people what a king will do to them. Tell them how a king rules people.” 10 Those people asked for a king. So Samuel told them everything the Lord said. 11 Samuel said, “If you have a king ruling over you, this is what he will do: He will take away your sons and force them to serve him. He will force them to be soldiers—they must fight from his chariots and become horse soldiers in his army. Your sons will become guards running in front of the king’s chariot. 12 “A king will force your sons to become soldiers. He will choose which of your sons will be officers over 1000 men and which will be officers over 50 men. “A king will force some of your sons to plow his fields and gather his harvest. He will force some of your sons to make weapons for war and to make things for his chariots. 13 “A king will take your daughters and force some of them to make perfume for him and some to cook and bake for him. 14 “A king will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves. He will take them from you and give them to his officers. 15 He will take one-tenth of your grain and grapes, and he will give them to his officers and servants. 16 “A king will take your men and women servants. He will take your best cattle and your donkeys. He will use them all for his own work. 17 He will take one-tenth of your flocks. “And you yourselves will become slaves of this king. 18 When that time comes, you will cry because of the king you chose. But the Lord won’t answer you at that time.” 19 But the people would not listen to Samuel. They said, “No, we want a king to rule over us. 20 Then we will be the same as all the other nations. Our king will lead us. He will go before us and fight our battles.” 21 Samuel listened to the people and then repeated their words to the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.” Then Samuel told the Israelites, “You will have a king. Now go home.”

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।”
