1: And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] to [G4314] every [G3956] man of Israel, look [G2400], I hearkened to the [G3588] your voice [G5456][G1473] in [G1519] all [G3956] as many [things] as [G3745] you said [G2036] to me [G1473], and [G2532] I gave reign over [G1909] you [G1473] a king .
2: And [G2532] now [G3568], look [G2400], the [G3588] king travels [G1279] before [G1799] you [G1473]. And I [G2504] grow old [G1095] and [G2532] will sit [G2521]. And [G2532] look [G2400], the [G3588] my sons [G5207][G1473] [are] among [G1722] you [G1473]. And I [G2504], look [G2400], I have gone [G1330] before [G1799] you [G1473] from [G1537] my youth [G3503][G1473], and [G2532] until [G2193] the [G3588] this day [G2250][G3778].
3: look [G2400], I [am here [G1473]. You should respond against [G2596] me [G1473] before [G1799] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] before [G1799] the [G3588] his Anointed "'[G5547][G1473]. Whose calf [G3448][G5100] have I taken [G2983]? or [G2228] whose donkey [G3688][G5100] have I taken [G2983]? or [G2228] who [G5100] of you [G1473] have I tyrannized over [G2616]? or [G2228] who [G5100] have I pressured ? or [G2228] from out of [G1537] whose hand [G5495][G5100] have I taken [G2983] an appeasement , or [G2228] a sandal [G5266]? Should you respond to [G2596] me [G1473], then [G2532] I will give [it] back to you [G1473].
4: And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] Samuel, You did not [G3756] wrong us [G1473], and [G2532] you did not [G3756] tyrannize over [G2616] us [G1473], and [G2532] you have not [G3756] taken [G2983] from [G1537] hand [G5495] anyone's [G3762] -- not one [thing] [G3762].
5: And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] people [G2992], BOSS [is] witness [G3144][G2962] among [G1722] you [G1473], and [G2532] [is] witness [G3144] the [G3588] his Anointed "'[G5547][G1473] in [G1722] this [G3778] the [G3588] day [G2250], that [G3754] you have not [G3756] found [G2147] in [G1722] the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] anything [G3762]. And [G2532] they said [G2036], [He is] witness [G3144].
6: And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] people [G2992], saying [G3004], BOSS [is] witness [G3144][G2962], the [G3588] [one] preparing [G4160] the [G3588] Moses and [G2532] the [G3588] Aaron, and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] leading the [G3588] our fathers [G3962][G1473] out of [G1537] Egypt.
7: And [G2532] now [G3568] stand [G2525], and [G2532] I will adjudicate for you [G1473] before [G1799] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] I will report to you [G1473] all [G3956] the [G3588] righteousness [G1343] of Boss '[G2962], which [G3739] he did [G4160] to you [G1473], and [G2532] [to the [G3588] your fathers [G3962][G1473],
8: as [G5613] entered [G1525] Jacob and [G2532] the [G3588] his sons [G5207][G1473] into [G1519] Egypt, and [G2532] humbled [G5013] them [G1473] Egypt]. And [G2532] yelled the [G3588] our fathers [G3962][G1473] to [G4314] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] BOSS sent [G2962] the [G3588] Moses and [G2532] the [G3588] Aaron. And [G2532] he led [G1806] the [G3588] our fathers [G3962][G1473] out of [G1537] Egypt, and [G2532] settled them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] this place [G5117][G3778].
9: And [G2532] they forgot [G1950] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of them [G1473], and [G2532] he gave them [G1473] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of Sisera commander-in-chief of Jabish, king of Hazor, and [G2532] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of Philistines , and [G2532] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of king of Moab; and [G2532] they waged war [G4170] with [G1722] them [G1473].
10: And [G2532] they yelled to [G4314] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] said [G3004], We sinned , for [G3754] we abandoned [G1459] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] we served [G1398] to the [G3588] Baalim, and [G2532] to the [G3588] sacred groves . And [G2532] now [G3568] rescue [G1807] us [G1473] from [G1537] hand [G5495] of our enemies [G2190][G1473]! and [G2532] we will serve [G1398] you [G1473].
11: And [G2532] BOSS sent [G2962] the [G3588] Jerubbaal, and [G2532] the [G3588] Barak, and [G2532] the [G3588] Jephthah, and [G2532] the [G3588] Samuel, and [G2532] rescued [G1807] you [G1473] round about [G2943] from [G1537] hand [G5495] of the [G3588] your enemies [G2190][G1473], and [G2532] you dwell [G2730] secure [G3982].
12: And [G2532] you looked [at] [G1492] that [G3754] Nahash king of sons [G5207] of Ammon came [G2064] upon [G1909] you [G1473], and [G2532] you said [G2036], No [G3780], but only that [G3754] a king will reign over [G1909] us [G1473]. And [G2532] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] our God '[G2316][G1473] [is] your king [G1473].
13: And [G2532] now [G3568] look [G2400], the [G3588] king whom [G3739] you chose [G1586] and [G2532] whom [G3739] you acquire [G2932]. And [G2532] look [G2400], BOSS puts [G1325][G2962] over [G1909] you [G1473] a king !
14: If [G1437] you should fear [G5399] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] should serve [G1398] to him [G1473], and [G2532] should hearken to the [G3588] his voice [G5456][G1473], and [G2532] should not contend with [G3361][G2051] the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of Boss '[G2962], then [G2532] you should be (even [G2532] you yourselves [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] king the [G3588] reigning over [G1909] you [G1473]) going [G4198] after [G3694] Boss '[G2962] your God '[G2316][G1473].
15: But if [G1437][G1161] you should not [G3361] hearken to the [G3588] voice [G5456] of Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] should contend [G2051] with the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of Boss '[G2962], then [G2532] will be hand [G5495] [of the] Boss '[G2962] against [G1909] you [G1473], and [G2532] against [G1909] the [G3588] your king [G1473].
16: And [G2532] now [G3568], stand [G2525] and [G2532] look [at] [G1492] the [G3588] thing [G4487] the [G3588] this great [G3173][G3778] which [G3739] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] will do [G4160] in [G1722] eyes [G3788] of you [G1473]!
17: Is it not [G3780] harvest [G2326] of wheat today [G4594]? I will call upon [G1941] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] he will give [G1325] [thundering] sounds [G5456] and [G2532] rain [G5205]. And [G2532] know [G1097] and [G2532] look [at] [G1492]! that [G3754] great [G3173] [is the [G3588] your evil [G2549][G1473] which [G3739] you did [G4160] before [G1799] Boss '[G2962], asking for yourselves [G1438] a king .
18: And [G2532] Samuel called upon [G1941] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962]; and [G2532] BOSS gave [G1325][G2962] sounds [G5456] and [G2532] rain [G5205] in [G1722] the [G3588] that day [G2250][G1565]. And [G2532] feared [G5399] all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] exceedingly [G4970], and [G2532] the [G3588] Samuel.
19: And [G2532] said [G2036] all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992] to [G4314] Samuel, Pray [G4336] for [G5228] the [G3588] your servants [G1401][G1473] to [G4314] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473]! and [G2532] in no way we should die , for [G3754] we added [G4369] unto [G1909] all [G3956] the [G3588] sins of us [G1473] [this] evil [G2549] asking for ourselves [G1438] a king .
20: And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] people [G2992], Do not [G3361] fear [G5399]! You [G1473] have done [G4160] all [G3956] the [G3588] evil [G2549] this [G3778], except [G4133] you should not [G3361] turn aside [G1578] from [following] after [G3693] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962]. And [G2532] serve [G1398] to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] with [G1722] entire [G3650] the [G3588] heart [G2588] your [G1473]!
21: And [G2532] you should not [G3361] turn aside [G1578] after [G3694] the [things] [G3588] being nothing [G3367], which [G3739] achieve nothing [G3762], and [G2532] which [G3739] will not [G3756] rescue [G1807], for [G3754] they are nothing [G3762].
22: For [G3754] will not [G3756] thrust away Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] his people [G2992][G1473] because of [G1223] the [G3588] name [G3686] of him '[G1473] the [G3588] great [G3173]; for [G3754] took [G4355] Boss '[G2962] you [G1473] to make [G4160] for [G1519] a people [G2992] to himself [G1438].
23: But to me [G1473][G1161], may it not be [G3361][G1096] to sin [against] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], to stop the [G3588][G1257] praying [G4336] for [G5228] you [G1473] to the [G3588] God '[G2316]. But [G2532] I will manifest [G1213] to you [G1473] the [G3588] way [G3598] the [G3588] good and [G2532] the [G3588] straight [G2117].
24: Only [G4133] fear [G5399] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] serve [G1398] him [G1473] in [G1722] truth , and [G2532] with [G1722] entire [G3650] heart [G2588] your [G1473]! For [G3754] see [G1492] what [G3739] he magnified [G3170] with [G3326] you [G1473]!
25: And [G2532] if [G1437] by evil [G2549] you should do evil [G2554], then [G2532] you [G1473] and [G2532] the [G3588] your king [G1473] will be added to [your dead [G4369].
