但你们现在却背弃了拯救你们脱离一切灾难和困苦的上帝，竟然对祂说，‘我们要你立一位王来统治我们。’所以你们现在就按着支派宗族站在耶和华面前吧！”

你们今日却厌弃了救你们脱离一切灾难的神，说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按着支派、宗族都站在耶和华面前。”

你们今日却厌弃救你们脱离一切灾祸和患难的上帝，对他说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按支派和宗族站在耶和华面前。”

你们今日却厌弃救你们脱离一切灾祸和患难的神，对他说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按支派和宗族站在耶和华面前。”

你们今天却离弃了那位拯救你们脱离一切灾难和困苦的神，竟对他说：‘求你立一个王统治我们。’现在你们要按着你们的支派和家族，站在耶和华面前。”

今天你们却厌弃你们的神，就是使你们脱离一切灾祸和患难的拯救者；你们对他说：‘求你立一个王统治我们。’现在，你们要按着自己的支派和宗族，站在耶和华面前。”

你們今日卻厭棄了救你們脫離一切災難的神，說：『求你立一個王治理我們。』現在你們應當按着支派、宗族都站在耶和華面前。」

你們今日卻厭棄救你們脫離一切災禍和患難的上帝，對他說：『求你立一個王治理我們。』現在你們應當按支派和宗族站在耶和華面前。」

你們今日卻厭棄救你們脫離一切災禍和患難的神，對他說：『求你立一個王治理我們。』現在你們應當按支派和宗族站在耶和華面前。」

但你們現在卻背棄了拯救你們脫離一切災難和困苦的上帝，竟然對祂說，『我們要你立一位王來統治我們。』所以你們現在就按著支派宗族站在耶和華面前吧！」

你們今天卻離棄了那位拯救你們脫離一切災難和困苦的神，竟對他說：‘求你立一個王統治我們。’現在你們要按著你們的支派和家族，站在耶和華面前。”

你們今日卻棄絕了你們的上帝、就是那曾拯救你們脫離一切災禍、跟患難的，而你們卻對他說：「求你立一個王來管理我們。」現在你們要按族派族系都站立在永恆主面前。』

今天你們卻厭棄你們的神，就是使你們脫離一切災禍和患難的拯救者；你們對他說：『求你立一個王統治我們。』現在，你們要按著自己的支派和宗族，站在耶和華面前。」

爾之上帝、救爾出諸災禍艱苦者、爾今日棄之、謂曰、立王治我、今當循爾支派億兆、進於耶和華前、

爾之上帝、救爾出諸患難艱苦者、爾遺棄之、求立一王、今日爾當至此、循爾支派億兆、立於耶和華前。

爾之天主、救爾於諸患難艱苦者、爾曹竟棄之、曰、求爾立一王治理我、今當至此、循爾支派宗族、立於主前、

But you have now rejected your God, who saves you out of all your disasters and calamities. And you have said,‘ No, appoint a king over us.’ So now present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”

But now you have turned your backs on your God. He saves you out of all your trouble and suffering. In spite of that, you have said,‘ We refuse to listen. Place a king over us.’ So now gather together to meet with the Lord. Do it tribe by tribe and family group by family group.”

But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses, and you have said to him,‘ Set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.”

But though I have rescued you from your misery and distress, you have rejected your God today and have said,‘ No, we want a king instead!’ Now, therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by tribes and clans.”

But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions. You said to him,‘ You must set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”

But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your catastrophes and your distresses; yet you have said,‘ No, but put a king over us!’ Now then, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your groups of thousands.”

But you have today rejected your God, who Himself saved you from all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to Him,‘ No, set a king over us!’ Now therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans.”

but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.

But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions. You said to Him,‘ You must set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”

And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him,[ Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.

But today you have rejected your God who saves you from all your trouble and distress. You have said,“ No! Appoint a king over us.” Now take your positions before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans.’”

可是你们看到亚扪王拿辖来攻击你们，就对我说，‘不行，我们要有一个王来统治我们。’其实你们的上帝耶和华就是你们的王。

约书亚在示剑招聚以色列各支派，然后召来以色列的长老、族长、审判官和官长。他们一同站在上帝面前。

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，

明天早上，你们要按支派一个一个前来，耶和华指出哪个支派，哪支派的各宗族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个宗族，哪宗族的各家族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个家族，哪家族的各成员便要前来。哪个人被指出拿了本该毁灭的东西，哪个人及其所有的东西就要被火焚烧。因为他违背了耶和华的约，在以色列人中做了可耻的事。’”第二天清早，约书亚按照支派召来以色列人，结果抽中犹大支派；他让犹大支派各宗族前来，结果抽中谢拉宗族；他让谢拉宗族前来，结果抽中撒底家族；他让撒底家族的人一个一个前来，结果抽中迦米的儿子亚干。约书亚对亚干说：“孩子啊，我劝你把荣耀归给以色列的上帝耶和华，向祂认罪，把你所做的事告诉我，不要隐瞒。”亚干答道：“我的确得罪了以色列的上帝耶和华。事情是这样的，在夺得的财物中，我看上了一件漂亮的示拿外衣、两千二百克银子和五百五十克金子，我一时贪心便拿去了，藏在我帐篷的地底下，银子就放在衣服下面。”约书亚派人跑到他的帐篷里，果然在那里找到了那件衣服和衣服下面的银子。他们将这些东西带到约书亚和民众那里，摆在耶和华面前。约书亚和全体以色列人把谢拉家族的亚干、那些银子、衣服和金子及其儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐篷和一切所有都带到亚割谷。约书亚对亚干说：“你为什么给我们惹祸呢？今天耶和华要降祸给你。”于是，以色列人便拿石头打死了他和他一切的人畜，将其烧毁。他们在亚干身上堆起一大堆石头，那些石头今天还在。耶和华这才息怒，因此那地方至今还叫亚割谷。

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。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。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。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。”

以法他的伯利恒啊，你在犹大各城中毫不起眼，但将有一位从你那里出来，为我统治以色列；祂的根源自亘古，来自太初。

你们都知道收割麦子的时候不会下雨。现在，我要向耶和华祷告，求祂打雷降雨，好让你们知道，你们要求立王在耶和华眼中是多么大的罪。”于是，撒母耳向耶和华呼求，耶和华便在当天打雷降雨，民众非常害怕耶和华和撒母耳。他们求撒母耳，说：“求你为仆人们向你的上帝耶和华祈祷，免得我们死亡！因为我们要求立王是罪上加罪。”

“你叫以色列各支派的首领每人拿一根杖来，共十二根，你要在上面写上他们各人的名字。
