Discurso de Samuel al pueblo
12 Dijo Samuel a todo Israel: He aquí, yo he oído vuestra voz en todo cuanto me habéis dicho, y os he puesto rey. 2 Ahora, pues, he aquí vuestro rey va delante de vosotros. Yo soy ya viejo y lleno de canas; pero mis hijos están con vosotros, y yo he andado delante de vosotros desde mi juventud hasta este día. 3 Aquí estoy; atestiguad contra mí delante de Jehová y delante de su ungido, si he tomado el buey de alguno, si he tomado el asno de alguno, si he calumniado a alguien, si he agraviado a alguno, o si de alguien he tomado cohecho para cegar mis ojos con él; y os lo restituiré. 4 Entonces dijeron: Nunca nos has calumniado ni agraviado, ni has tomado algo de mano de ningún hombre. 5 Y él les dijo: Jehová es testigo contra vosotros, y su ungido también es testigo en este día, que no habéis hallado cosa alguna en mi mano. Y ellos respondieron: Así es.
6 Entonces Samuel dijo al pueblo: Jehová que designó a Moisés y a Aarón,(A) y sacó a vuestros padres de la tierra de Egipto, es testigo. 7 Ahora, pues, aguardad, y contenderé con vosotros delante de Jehová acerca de todos los hechos de salvación que Jehová ha hecho con vosotros y con vuestros padres. 8 Cuando Jacob hubo entrado en Egipto, y vuestros padres clamaron a Jehová,(B) Jehová envió a Moisés y a Aarón, los cuales sacaron a vuestros padres de Egipto, y los hicieron habitar en este lugar. 9 Y olvidaron a Jehová su Dios, y él los vendió en mano de Sísara(C) jefe del ejército de Hazor, y en mano de los filisteos,(D) y en mano del rey de Moab,(E) los cuales les hicieron guerra. 10 Y ellos clamaron a Jehová, y dijeron: Hemos pecado, porque hemos dejado a Jehová y hemos servido a los baales y a Astarot; líbranos, pues, ahora de mano de nuestros enemigos, y te serviremos.(F) 11 Entonces Jehová envió a Jerobaal,(G) a Barac,(H) a Jefté(I) y a Samuel,(J) y os libró de mano de vuestros enemigos en derredor, y habitasteis seguros. 12 Y habiendo visto que Nahas rey de los hijos de Amón venía contra vosotros, me dijisteis: No, sino que ha de reinar sobre nosotros un rey;(K) siendo así que Jehová vuestro Dios era vuestro rey. 13 Ahora, pues, he aquí el rey que habéis elegido, el cual pedisteis; ya veis que Jehová ha puesto rey sobre vosotros. 14 Si temiereis a Jehová y le sirviereis, y oyereis su voz, y no fuereis rebeldes a la palabra de Jehová, y si tanto vosotros como el rey que reina sobre vosotros servís a Jehová vuestro Dios, haréis bien. 15 Mas si no oyereis la voz de Jehová, y si fuereis rebeldes a las palabras de Jehová, la mano de Jehová estará contra vosotros como estuvo contra vuestros padres. 16 Esperad aún ahora, y mirad esta gran cosa que Jehová hará delante de vuestros ojos. 17 ¿No es ahora la siega del trigo? Yo clamaré a Jehová, y él dará truenos y lluvias, para que conozcáis y veáis que es grande vuestra maldad que habéis hecho ante los ojos de Jehová, pidiendo para vosotros rey. 18 Y Samuel clamó a Jehová, y Jehová dio truenos y lluvias en aquel día; y todo el pueblo tuvo gran temor de Jehová y de Samuel.
19 Entonces dijo todo el pueblo a Samuel: Ruega por tus siervos a Jehová tu Dios, para que no muramos; porque a todos nuestros pecados hemos añadido este mal de pedir rey para nosotros. 20 Y Samuel respondió al pueblo: No temáis; vosotros habéis hecho todo este mal; pero con todo eso no os apartéis de en pos de Jehová, sino servidle con todo vuestro corazón. 21 No os apartéis en pos de vanidades que no aprovechan ni libran, porque son vanidades. 22 Pues Jehová no desamparará a su pueblo, por su grande nombre; porque Jehová ha querido haceros pueblo suyo. 23 Así que, lejos sea de mí que peque yo contra Jehová cesando de rogar por vosotros; antes os instruiré en el camino bueno y recto. 24 Solamente temed a Jehová y servidle de verdad con todo vuestro corazón, pues considerad cuán grandes cosas ha hecho por vosotros. 25 Mas si perseverareis en hacer mal, vosotros y vuestro rey pereceréis.

Samuel se oprašta s narodom
12 Samuel je rekao cijelom Izraelu: »Poslušao sam vas i učinio sve što ste tražili. Postavio sam vam kralja. 2 Sad imate kralja da vas vodi. Ja sam već star i sijed, no moji su sinovi s vama. Vodio sam vas od svoje mladosti pa sve do danas. 3 Evo me! Recite pred BOGOM i pred njegovim pomazanikom ako imate išta protiv mene. Jesam li ikome uzeo vola ili magarca? Jesam li ikoga prevario ili na išta prisiljavao? Jesam li od ikoga uzeo novac da zažmirim na nepravdu? Recite ako sam išta od toga učinio. Nadoknadit ću štetu.«
4 A narod je odgovorio: »Nisi nas varao, niti ugnjetavao, niti si od ikoga išta uzeo.«
5 »BOG mi je svjedok pred vama, a svjedok je danas i njegov pomazanik«, rekao je Samuel. »Niste mi pronašli nikakvu krivnju.«
Narod je potvrdio: »Bog je svjedok.«
6 A Samuel je tada rekao narodu: »BOG je taj koji je izabrao Mojsija i Arona. On je vaše pretke izveo iz Egipta. 7 Stoga, pristupite sad da vas pred BOGOM podsjetim na sva velika djela koja je BOG učinio za vas i vaše pretke.
8 Jakov je otišao u Egipat. Kasnije su Egipćani zagorčavali život njegovim potomcima te su oni zavapili BOGU za pomoć. BOG je poslao Mojsija i Arona koji su ih izveli iz Egipta i doveli u ovu zemlju. 9 No narod je zanemario svog BOGA pa ih je on tada prepustio Siseri, zapovjedniku vojske u gradu Hasoru. Prepustio ih je također Filistejcima i kralju Moaba. Svi su oni ratovali protiv vaših predaka 10 koji su ipak zavapili BOGU za pomoć. Govorili su: ‘Griješili smo. Zanemarili smo BOGA. Štovali smo lažne bogove, Baala i Aštartu. Ali, spasi nas sad od naših neprijatelja, a mi ćemo štovati samo tebe.’ 11 Tada je BOG poslao Gideona[a], Baraka[b], Jeftaha i konačno Samuela. Oslobađao vas je od vaših okolnih neprijatelja pa ste živjeli u miru i sigurnosti.
12 No kad ste vidjeli da vas napada amonski kralj Nahaš, rekli ste mi da bi vama trebao vladati kralj iako je vaš kralj BOG. 13 Sad imate kralja kojeg ste tražili i izabrali. BOG vam je, dakle, postavio kralja. 14 Ako budete imali strahopoštovanja prema BOGU, ako mu budete služili i pokoravali mu se, ako budete vršili BOŽJE zapovijedi te vi i vaš kralj budete dosljedno slijedili svoga BOGA, bit će vam dobro. 15 No ako ne budete slušali BOGA te se budete bunili protiv BOŽJIH zapovijedi, on će biti protiv vas i protiv vašega kralja.
16 Samo stojte mirno i gledajte veliko djelo koje će BOG izvesti pred vama. 17 Danas je, naime, žetva pšenice[c]. Prizvat ću BOGA da pošalje gromove i kišu. Tada ćete shvatiti koliko ste pogriješili pred BOGOM kad ste tražili kralja.«
18 Samuel je zazvao BOGA, a BOG je toga istog dana poslao grmljavinu i kišu.
Cijeli je narod obuzeo strah od BOGA i Samuela. 19 Svi su govorili Samuelu: »Moli za svoje sluge. Moli svog BOGA da ne poginemo. Svojim starim grijesima dodali smo još jedno zlo kad smo tražili kralja.«
20 No Samuel je hrabrio narod: »Ne bojte se! Iako ste pogriješili, i dalje slijedite BOGA. Služite BOGU svim svojim srcem. 21 Nemojte štovati beskorisne idole. Oni vam ne mogu ništa dati, niti vas spasiti. Ništavni su. 22 Zbog svoje časti[d], BOG neće odbaciti svoj narod. BOG je odlučio da vas učini svojim narodom. 23 A što se mene tiče, neću sagriješiti protiv BOGA—neću prestati moliti za vas. I učit ću vas što je dobro i ispravno. 24 Imajte strahopoštovanja prema BOGU i vjerno mu služite svim svojim srcem. Sjetite se kakva je velika djela učinio za vas. 25 No ako i dalje budete činili zlo, bit ćete kao metlom pometeni, i vi i vaš kralj.«

King James Version
1 Samuel 12
King James Version
12 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
6 And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and to your fathers.
8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God was your king.
13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you.
14 If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God:
15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.
18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;
21 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
22 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

Samuel’s Farewell Speech
12 Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened(A) to everything you said to me and have set a king(B) over you. 2 Now you have a king as your leader.(C) As for me, I am old and gray, and my sons(D) are here with you. I have been your leader from my youth until this day. 3 Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the Lord and his anointed.(E) Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey(F) have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe(G) to make me shut my eyes? If I have done(H) any of these things, I will make it right.”(I)
4 “You have not cheated or oppressed us,” they replied. “You have not taken anything from anyone’s hand.”
5 Samuel said to them, “The Lord is witness(J) against you, and also his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything(K) in my hand.(L)”
“He is witness,” they said.
6 Then Samuel said to the people, “It is the Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought(M) your ancestors up out of Egypt. 7 Now then, stand(N) here, because I am going to confront(O) you with evidence before the Lord as to all the righteous acts(P) performed by the Lord for you and your ancestors.
8 “After Jacob(Q) entered Egypt, they cried(R) to the Lord for help, and the Lord sent(S) Moses and Aaron, who brought your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.
9 “But they forgot(T) the Lord their God; so he sold them(U) into the hand of Sisera,(V) the commander of the army of Hazor,(W) and into the hands of the Philistines(X) and the king of Moab,(Y) who fought against them. 10 They cried(Z) out to the Lord and said, ‘We have sinned; we have forsaken(AA) the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths.(AB) But now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve you.’ 11 Then the Lord sent Jerub-Baal,[a](AC) Barak,[b](AD) Jephthah(AE) and Samuel,[c](AF) and he delivered you from the hands of your enemies all around you, so that you lived in safety.
12 “But when you saw that Nahash(AG) king(AH) of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to rule(AI) over us’—even though the Lord your God was your king. 13 Now here is the king(AJ) you have chosen, the one you asked(AK) for; see, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you fear(AL) the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel(AM) against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the Lord your God—good! 15 But if you do not obey the Lord, and if you rebel against(AN) his commands, his hand will be against you, as it was against your ancestors.
16 “Now then, stand still(AO) and see(AP) this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes! 17 Is it not wheat harvest(AQ) now? I will call(AR) on the Lord to send thunder(AS) and rain.(AT) And you will realize what an evil(AU) thing you did in the eyes of the Lord when you asked for a king.”
18 Then Samuel called on the Lord,(AV) and that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe(AW) of the Lord and of Samuel.
19 The people all said to Samuel, “Pray(AX) to the Lord your God for your servants so that we will not die,(AY) for we have added to all our other sins the evil of asking for a king.”
20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil;(AZ) yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 Do not turn away after useless(BA) idols.(BB) They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. 22 For the sake(BC) of his great name(BD) the Lord will not reject(BE) his people, because the Lord was pleased to make(BF) you his own. 23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray(BG) for you. And I will teach(BH) you the way that is good and right. 24 But be sure to fear(BI) the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart;(BJ) consider(BK) what great(BL) things he has done for you. 25 Yet if you persist(BM) in doing evil, both you and your king(BN) will perish.”(BO)

Samuel’s Address at Saul’s Coronation
12 Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have [a]heeded (A)your voice in all that you said to me, and (B)have made a king over you. 2 And now here is the king, (C)walking before you; (D)and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before (E)His anointed: (F)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any (G)bribe with which to (H)blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
4 And they said, (I)“You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.”
5 Then he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, (J)that you have not found anything (K)in my hand.”
And they answered, “He is witness.”
6 Then Samuel said to the people, (L)“It is the Lord who raised up Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt. 7 Now therefore, stand still, that I may (M)reason with you before the Lord concerning all the (N)righteous acts of the Lord which He did to you and your fathers: 8 (O)When Jacob had gone into [b]Egypt, and your fathers (P)cried out to the Lord, then the Lord (Q)sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place. 9 And when they (R)forgot the Lord their God, He sold them into the hand of (S)Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the (T)Philistines, and into the hand of the king of (U)Moab; and they fought against them. 10 Then they cried out to the Lord, and said, (V)‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord (W)and served the Baals and [c]Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’ 11 And the Lord sent [d]Jerubbaal, [e]Bedan, (X)Jephthah, and (Y)Samuel,[f] and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety. 12 And when you saw that (Z)Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, (AA)you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when (AB)the Lord your God was your king.
13 “Now therefore, (AC)here is the king (AD)whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, (AE)the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you (AF)fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God. 15 However, if you do (AG)not obey the voice of the Lord, but (AH)rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 “Now therefore, (AI)stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes: 17 Is today not the (AJ)wheat harvest? (AK)I will call to the Lord, and He will send thunder and (AL)rain, that you may perceive and see that (AM)your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking a king for yourselves.”
18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day; and (AN)all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, (AO)“Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves.”
20 Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; (AP)yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And (AQ)do not turn aside; (AR)for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. 22 For (AS)the Lord will not forsake (AT)His people, (AU)for His great name’s sake, because (AV)it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord (AW)in ceasing to pray for you; but (AX)I will teach you the (AY)good and the right way. 24 (AZ)Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for (BA)consider what (BB)great things He has done for you. 25 But if you still do wickedly, (BC)you shall be swept away, (BD)both you and your king.”
