¹

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

¹

И$ бы'сть ја%ко състарњ'ся само'и^лъ, и^ поста'ви сн~ы своа сђди'ти і^и^л~еви”

²

And these are the names of his sons; Joel the first-born, and the name of the second Abia, judges in Bersabee.

²

И$ сїя и^мена` сн~ома е^го, первенцђ и^мя и^ѓ^и'ль, а^ второ'мђ и^мя а^вїя, и^же бы'ша сђдїи въ вирсаве'и”

³

And his sons did not walk in his way; and they turned aside after gain, and took gifts, and perverted judgments.

³

Но^ не ходи'ста сн~а е^го пђте'м# е^го, и^ ё^клони'стася въспя'ть на конъчи'нђ поги'бели, и^ прїима'ста м#здђ, и^ разврати'ста пра'веDная”

⁴

And the men of Israel gather themselves together, and come to Armathaim to Samuel,

⁴

И$ събра'шася мђжи і^и^л~еви, и^ прїидо'ста къ само'илђ въ сармаџе'мђ”

⁵

and they said to him, Behold, thou art grown old, and thy sons walk not in thy way; and now set over us a king to judge us, as also the other nations have.

⁵

И$ рњша е^мђ, с^е ты` ё^же състарњ'ся сн~ове же твои не хо'дита по пђти твоемђ. то поста'ви нн~њ над на'ми цр~я, да н^ы сђ'дитъ, ја%коже и^ про'чїи ја^зы'кы”

⁶

And the thing was evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the Lord.

⁶

И$ бы'сть лђка'вны гл~ы преD ѓ^чима само'иловыма, е^гда` рњша да'и же на'мъ ц~ря да н^ы сђ'дитъ, и^ помоли'ся самои^лъ къ г~ђ”

⁷

And the Lord said to Samuel, Hear the voice of the people, in whatever they shall say to thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.

⁷

И$ рече г~ь само'илђ, послђшаи гла'са людїи, ја%коже гл~ютъ к тебњ`, ја%ко не тебе` ё^ничижи'ша, н^о мене`, не црsтвова'ти м^и наD ними”

⁸

According to all their doings which they have done to me, from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day, even as they have deserted me, and served other gods, so they do also to thee.

⁸

И$ вс^я творе'нїа ја%же сътвори'хъ, эT него'же дн~е възведо'хъ и^хъ, и^з# земля` е^гљ=пеTскы до дн~ешняго дн~е” ѓ^ста'вльше м^я, послђжи'ша бого'мъ и^нњмъ, та'ко и^ тебњ` тїи тво'рятъ”

⁹

And now hearken to their voice; only thou shalt solemnly testify to them, and thou shalt describe to them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.

⁹

И$ нн~њ послђш'аи гла'са ихъ, ѓ^баче засвњдњтел#ствђ'я, засвњдњтел#ствђ'еши и^мъ, и^ възвњсти'ши и^мъ пра'вдђ цр~евђ, и^же црsтвова'ти бђ'детъ наD ними”

¹⁰

And Samuel spoke every word of the Lord to the people who asked of him a king.

¹⁰

И$ рече само'илъ вс^я словеса` гн~я к лю'демъ, прося'щимъ эT него` цр~я”

¹¹

And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall rule over you: he shall take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and among his horsemen, and running before his chariots,

¹¹

И$ гл~а и^мъ, с^е е^сть ѓ^правда'нїе цр~ево, и^же црsтвђ'етъ наD вами сн~ы ва'ша во'зметъ. и^ поло'жиT я& въ ѓ^рђжїе е^го, и^ на ко'ни въса'диT иX, и^ преDтекђщая преD колесни'цами е^го”

¹²

and his manner shall be to make them to himself captains of hundreds and captains of thousands; and to reap his harvest, and gather his vintage, and prepare his instruments of war, and the implements of his chariots.

¹²

И$ поста'витъ ты'сђщникы себњ, и^ со'тники, и^ жа'телми жа'твы свое^я. и^ ѓ^бы'имђтъ ѓ^быима'нїемъ гро'здїа ё^ е^го. и^ сътвори'ти съсђ'ды побњ'ды свое^я, и^ съсђ'ды колесни'цъ свои^хъ”

¹³

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

¹³

И$ дще'ри ва'ши во'зметъ твори'ти во'дки, и^ дрђгїя сътвориT поварїи. і^ и'ны сътвори'тъ печи` хлњ'бы”

¹⁴

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your good oliveyards, and give them to his servants.

¹⁴

И$ се'ла ва'ша и^ виногра'ды ва'ша, и^ масли'чины ва'ша, и^ бл~га'а ва'ша во'зметъ, и^ да'стъ рабо'мъ свои^мъ”

¹⁵

And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards, and give it to his eunuchs, and to his servants.

¹⁵

И$ сњмена ва'ша, и^ вино` ва'ше ѓ^десятери'тъ и^ да'стъ ско'пцеM свои^мъ, и^ рабо'мъ свои^мъ”

¹⁶

And he will take your servants, and your handmaids, and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.

¹⁶

И$ рабы же ва'ша, и^ рабы'ня и^ ста'да ва'ша бл~гїя, и^ ѓ^слы` ва'ша эTи^метъ. и^ ё^десятери'тъ на дњ'ло свое`”

¹⁷

And he will tithe your flocks; and ye shall be his servants.

¹⁷

И$ па'ствины ва'ша ѓ^десятери'тъ. и^ в^ы бђдете е^мђ` въ раби`”

¹⁸

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because ye have chosen to yourselves a king.

¹⁸

И$ възопїе'те эT лица` цр~я ва'шего въ дн~ь ѓ%нъ. е^гоже и^збра'сте себњ`. и^ не ё^слы'шитъ ваs г~ь въ дн~ь ѓ%нъ, ја%ко в^ы са'ми и^збра'сте себњ` цр~я”

¹⁹

But the people would not hearken to Samuel; and they said to him, Nay, but there shall be a king over us.

¹⁹

И$ не въсхотњша лю'дїе ё^слы'шати само'и^ла, и^ рњша е^мђ н^и. н^о цр~ь да бђ'детъ наD нами”

²⁰

And we also will be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and shall go out before us, and fight our battles.

²⁰

И$ бђ'демъ и^ м^ы ја%ко и^ вс^и ја%зы'цы, и^ да сђ'дитъ на'мъ цр~ь на'шъ. і^ и^зы'идетъ преD нами. и^ побњди'тся, поборе'нїемъ по наs”

²¹

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spoke them in the ears of the Lord.

²¹

И$ слы'ша само'и^лъ вс^я гл~ы людїи, і^ и^згл~а я& въ ё%ши гв~и”

²²

And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let each man depart to his city.

²²

И$ реq г~ь къ само'и^лђ. послђш'аи гла'са и^хъ. и^ поста'ви и^мъ цр~я. и^ рече самои^лъ къ лю'демъ і^и^л~евымъ, да и%деT ко'ждо ва'съ въ сво'и гра'дъ”
