וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר זָקֵן שְׁמוּאֵל וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־בָּנָיו שֹׁפְטִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | 1Sam 8:1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. |
וַיְהִי שֶׁם־בְּנֹו הַבְּכֹור יֹואֵל וְשֵׁם מִשְׁנֵהוּ אֲבִיָּה שֹׁפְטִים בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע׃ | 1Sam 8:2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. |
וְלֹא־הָלְכוּ בָנָיו בִּדְרָכָיו וַיִּטּוּ אַחֲרֵי הַבָּצַע וַיִּקְחוּ־שֹׁחַד וַיַּטּוּ מִשְׁפָּט׃ | 1Sam 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. |
וַיִּתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָתָה׃ | 1Sam 8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, |
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אַתָּה זָקַנְתָּ וּבָנֶיךָ לֹא הָלְכוּ בִּדְרָכֶיךָ עַתָּה שִׂימָה־לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ כְּכָל־הַגֹּויִם׃ | 1Sam 8:5 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. |
וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי שְׁמוּאֵל כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ תְּנָה־לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה׃ | 1Sam 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. |
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקֹול הָעָם לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ כִּי לֹא אֹתְךָ מָאָסוּ כִּי־אֹתִי מָאֲסוּ מִמְּלֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם׃ | 1Sam 8:7 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. |
כְּכָל־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂוּ מִיֹּום הַעֲלֹתִי אֹתָם מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד־הַיֹּום הַזֶּה וַיַּעַזְבֻנִי וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים כֵּן הֵמָּה עֹשִׂים גַּם־לָךְ׃ | 1Sam 8:8 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. |
וְעַתָּה שְׁמַע בְּקֹולָם אַךְ כִּי־הָעֵד תָּעִיד בָּהֶם וְהִגַּדְתָּ לָהֶם מִשְׁפַּט הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִמְלֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם׃ | 1Sam 8:9 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. |
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֶל־הָעָם הַשֹּׁאֲלִים מֵאִתֹּו מֶלֶךְ׃ | 1Sam 8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. |
וַיֹּאמֶר זֶה יִהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר יִמְלֹךְ עֲלֵיכֶם אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם יִקָּח וְשָׂם לֹו בְּמֶרְכַּבְתֹּו וּבְפָרָשָׁיו וְרָצוּ לִפְנֵי מֶרְכַּבְתֹּו׃ | 1Sam 8:11 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. |
וְלָשׂוּם לֹו שָׂרֵי אֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי חֲמִשִּׁים וְלַחֲרֹשׁ חֲרִישֹׁו וְלִקְצֹר קְצִירֹו וְלַעֲשֹׂות כְּלֵי־מִלְחַמְתֹּו וּכְלֵי רִכְבֹּו׃ | 1Sam 8:12 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. |
וְאֶת־בְּנֹותֵיכֶם יִקָּח לְרַקָּחֹות וּלְטַבָּחֹות וּלְאֹפֹות׃ | 1Sam 8:13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. |
וְאֶת־שְׂדֹותֵיכֶם וְאֶת־כַּרְמֵיכֶם וְזֵיתֵיכֶם הַטֹּובִים יִקָּח וְנָתַן לַעֲבָדָיו׃ | 1Sam 8:14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. |
וְזַרְעֵיכֶם וְכַרְמֵיכֶם יַעְשֹׂר וְנָתַן לְסָרִיסָיו וְלַעֲבָדָיו׃ | 1Sam 8:15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. |
וְאֶת־עַבְדֵיכֶם וְאֶת־שִׁפְחֹותֵיכֶם וְאֶת־בַּחוּרֵיכֶם הַטֹּובִים וְאֶת־חֲמֹורֵיכֶם יִקָּח וְעָשָׂה לִמְלַאכְתֹּו׃ | 1Sam 8:16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. |
צֹאנְכֶם יַעְשֹׂר וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ־לֹו לַעֲבָדִים׃ | 1Sam 8:17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. |
וּזְעַקְתֶּם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא מִלִּפְנֵי מַלְכְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם לָכֶם וְלֹא־יַעֲנֶה יְהוָה אֶתְכֶם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא׃ | 1Sam 8:18 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. |
וַיְמָאֲנוּ הָעָם לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקֹול שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹּא כִּי אִם־מֶלֶךְ יִהְיֶה עָלֵינוּ׃ | 1Sam 8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; |
וְהָיִינוּ גַם־אֲנַחְנוּ כְּכָל־הַגֹּויִם וּשְׁפָטָנוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ וְיָצָא לְפָנֵינוּ וְנִלְחַם אֶת־מִלְחֲמֹתֵנוּ׃ | 1Sam 8:20 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. |
וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי הָעָם וַיְדַבְּרֵם בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוָה׃ | 1Sam 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. |
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקֹולָם וְהִמְלַכְתָּ לָהֶם מֶלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל־אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכוּ אִישׁ לְעִירֹו׃ | 1Sam 8:22 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. |
