撒母耳记上 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
人民要求立王
8 撒母耳年老的時候，立了他的兒子作以色列人的士師。 2 他的長子名叫約珥，次子名叫亞比亞，都在別是巴作士師。 3 兩個兒子都沒有行撒母耳的道路，反而轉去追求不義之財，收受賄賂，屈枉正直。
4 於是以色列所有的長老都集合起來，到拉瑪去見撒母耳， 5 對他說：“你老了，看哪，你的兒子不行你的道路，現在求你為我們立一個王治理我們，好像列國一樣。” 6 他們說“求你為我們立一個王治理我們”這件事，使撒母耳很不高興，他就禱告耶和華。 7 耶和華對撒母耳說：“眾民對你所說的一切，你只管聽從，因為他們不是厭棄你，而是厭棄我，不要我作他們的王。 8 自從我把他們從埃及領上來的那天起，直到現在，他們怎樣離開我，事奉別的神，他們對我所行的一切，也照樣對你行。 9 現在你只管聽從他們的話，但必須鄭重警告他們，告訴他們那要統治他們的王要怎樣治理他們。”
君王的權利
10 於是，撒母耳把耶和華所講的一切話都告訴那些向他要求一個王的民眾， 11 說：“那要統治你們的王將這樣治理你們：他必徵用你們的兒子，派他們作他的戰車兵、騎兵、在車前奔走的前鋒， 12 又派他們作千夫長、五十夫長，替他耕田、收他的莊稼、替他製造作戰的武器和戰車上的裝備。 13 他必徵用你們的女兒作配香膏的、燒飯的和烤餅的。 14 他必奪去你們最好的田地、葡萄園和橄欖園，賜給自己的臣僕。 15 你們撒種所得的和葡萄園所出的，他都徵收十分之一，賜給他的太監和臣僕。 16 他又必徵收你們的僕婢、最精壯的青年和驢，替他工作。 17 你們的羊群，他要徵收十分之一；連你們自己也作他的奴僕。 18 到時，你們必因你們為自己揀選的王而哀求，那時耶和華卻不應允你們。”
人民堅決要求立王
19 眾民竟不肯聽從撒母耳的話，說：“不，我們要一個王治理我們， 20 讓我們也像列國一樣，有自己的王治理我們，帥領我們出征，為我們作戰。” 21 撒母耳聽了眾民的一切話，就向耶和華複述。 22 耶和華對撒母耳說：“你只管聽從他們的話，為他們立一個王。”於是撒母耳對以色列人說：“你們各人回自己的城去吧。”

以色列人要求立王
8 撒母耳在年老的時候立了他的兒子做以色列人的士師。 2 他的長子是約珥，次子是亞比亞，他們在別示巴做士師。 3 然而，他們沒有效法自己的父親，而是愛慕不義之財，貪贓枉法。
4 於是，以色列的長老一起到拉瑪去見撒母耳， 5 說：「你年紀大了，你的兒子不效法你。現在求你為我們立一個王治理我們，像其他國家一樣。」 6 撒母耳聽到他們要求立一個王治理他們，心中不悅，就向耶和華禱告。 7 耶和華對撒母耳說：「你照他們所說的去做吧，因為他們不是拒絕你，而是拒絕我做他們的王。 8 自從我把他們從埃及領出來以後，他們就常常背棄我，去供奉其他神明。現在，他們也這樣對待你。 9 你就照他們所求的去做吧！但你要警告他們，讓他們知道將來王會怎樣管轄他們。」
10 撒母耳就把耶和華的話轉告給那些請求他立王的民眾，說： 11 「將來管轄你們的王會徵用你們的兒子做他的戰車兵、騎兵，要他們跑在他的戰車前面。 12 他會派一些人做千夫長、五十夫長，一些人為他耕種田地、收割莊稼，一些人製造兵器和戰車的裝備。 13 他會把你們的女兒帶走，要她們給他造香膏、煮飯和烤餅。 14 他會奪去你們最好的田地、葡萄園和橄欖園，送給他的臣僕。 15 他會從你們的糧食和葡萄園的出產中收取十分之一，送給他的官員和臣僕。 16 他會徵用你們的僕婢及最好的牛[a]和驢來為他效勞。 17 他會拿去你們羊群的十分之一，並讓你們做他的奴僕。 18 將來你們會因所選之王的壓迫而呼求耶和華，耶和華卻不會垂聽你們。」
19 民眾卻不肯聽從撒母耳的話。他們說：「不，我們想要一個王治理我們， 20 這樣我們就會像其他國家一樣，有王來統治我們，率領我們，為我們作戰。」 21 撒母耳把這些人的話一五一十地告訴了耶和華。 22 耶和華對撒母耳說：「照他們說的去為他們立一個王吧。」於是，撒母耳對以色列人說：「你們各人回自己的城去吧。」

以色列人要求立王
8 撒母耳在年老的时候立了他的儿子做以色列人的士师。 2 他的长子是约珥，次子是亚比亚，他们在别示巴做士师。 3 然而，他们没有效法自己的父亲，而是爱慕不义之财，贪赃枉法。
4 于是，以色列的长老一起到拉玛去见撒母耳， 5 说：“你年纪大了，你的儿子不效法你。现在求你为我们立一个王治理我们，像其他国家一样。” 6 撒母耳听到他们要求立一个王治理他们，心中不悦，就向耶和华祷告。 7 耶和华对撒母耳说：“你照他们所说的去做吧，因为他们不是拒绝你，而是拒绝我做他们的王。 8 自从我把他们从埃及领出来以后，他们就常常背弃我，去供奉其他神明。现在，他们也这样对待你。 9 你就照他们所求的去做吧！但你要警告他们，让他们知道将来王会怎样管辖他们。”
10 撒母耳就把耶和华的话转告给那些请求他立王的民众，说： 11 “将来管辖你们的王会征用你们的儿子做他的战车兵、骑兵，要他们跑在他的战车前面。 12 他会派一些人做千夫长、五十夫长，一些人为他耕种田地、收割庄稼，一些人制造兵器和战车的装备。 13 他会把你们的女儿带走，要她们给他造香膏、煮饭和烤饼。 14 他会夺去你们最好的田地、葡萄园和橄榄园，送给他的臣仆。 15 他会从你们的粮食和葡萄园的出产中收取十分之一，送给他的官员和臣仆。 16 他会征用你们的仆婢及最好的牛[a]和驴来为他效劳。 17 他会拿去你们羊群的十分之一，并让你们做他的奴仆。 18 将来你们会因所选之王的压迫而呼求耶和华，耶和华却不会垂听你们。”
19 民众却不肯听从撒母耳的话。他们说：“不，我们想要一个王治理我们， 20 这样我们就会像其他国家一样，有王来统治我们，率领我们，为我们作战。” 21 撒母耳把这些人的话一五一十地告诉了耶和华。 22 耶和华对撒母耳说：“照他们说的去为他们立一个王吧。”于是，撒母耳对以色列人说：“你们各人回自己的城去吧。”

1 Samuel 8
New International Version
1 Samuel 8
New International Version
Israel Asks for a King
8 When Samuel grew old, he appointed(A) his sons as Israel’s leaders.[a] 2 The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah,(B) and they served at Beersheba.(C) 3 But his sons(D) did not follow his ways. They turned aside(E) after dishonest gain and accepted bribes(F) and perverted(G) justice.
4 So all the elders(H) of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.(I) 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king(J) to lead[b](K) us, such as all the other nations(L) have.”
6 But when they said, “Give us a king(M) to lead us,” this displeased(N) Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen(O) to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected,(P) but they have rejected me as their king.(Q) 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking(R) me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know(S) what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told(T) all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take(U) your sons and make them serve(V) with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.(W) 12 Some he will assign to be commanders(X) of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your(Y) fields and vineyards(Z) and olive groves and give them to his attendants.(AA) 15 He will take a tenth(AB) of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer(AC) you in that day.(AD)”
19 But the people refused(AE) to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want(AF) a king(AG) over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations,(AH) with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated(AI) it before the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, “Listen(AJ) to them and give them a king.”
Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”

King James Version
1 Samuel 8
King James Version
8 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
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.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.
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.
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.
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.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.
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.
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.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
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.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
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.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
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.
