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。』

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。”

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。”

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.’”

But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him,‘ No! Set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes, and by your thousands.”

你們見亞捫人的王拿轄來攻打你們，你們就對我說：「不，總要有一個王來管理我們」；其實永恆主你們的上帝乃是你們的王。

約書亞將以色列眾族派聚集在示劍，把以色列的長老、跟首領、審判官，和官吏、都召了來；他們就來、站在上帝面前。

人民竟不肯聽撒母耳的話；他們說：『不，我們要有一個王來管理我們，

到了早晨，你們要按着族派走近前來；永恆主所拈着的族派、要按着宗族走近前來；永恆主所拈着的宗族、要按着家室走近前來；永恆主所拈着的家室、要按着人丁一個一個走近前來。被拈着的人、有該被毁滅歸神之物的、他和他一切所有的、都必須被火燒，因為他越犯了永恆主的約，因為他在以色列中行了醜事。」約書亞清早起來，叫以色列人按着族派走近前來；他就拈着了猶大族派；他叫猶大家族走近前來，就拈着了謝拉家族；他叫謝拉家族按着人丁一個一個走近前來，就拈着了撒底；他叫撒底的家室、按着人丁一個一個走近前來，就拈着了亞干：就是屬猶大支派的、謝拉的曾孫、撒底的孫子、迦米的兒子。約書亞對亞干說：『我兒，我勸你將榮耀歸與永恆主以色列的上帝，向他承認，將你所作的事告訴我；不要向我隱瞞。』亞干回答約書亞說：『我實在犯罪得罪了永恆主以色列的上帝；我所作的事如此如此。我在掠物中看見一件美好的示拿袍子、二百舍客勒銀子、一條金子、重五十舍客勒，我就貪愛這些物件，拿走了；看哪，現在正埋在我帳棚中的地裏呢，銀子在袍子底下。』約書亞就打發了差役跑到亞干的帳棚裏；果然見到東西都埋在他帳棚裏，銀子在底下。他們就從帳棚中取出來，拿到約書亞和以色列眾人那裏，倒在永恆主面前。約書亞連同以色列眾人、把謝拉的曾孫亞干、和那銀子、那件袍子、那條金子、跟他的兒子和女兒、他的牛、驢、羊、帳棚、以及他一切所有的、都帶上亞割山谷去。約書亞說：『你為甚麼把我們搞壞呢？今天永恆主必搞壞你。』於是以色列眾人扔石頭把他砍死，用火燒了他們，又拿石頭丟在他們上頭。這樣，眾人就在亞干身上立起一大堆石頭；那堆石頭到今日還在；於是永恆主就回心轉意、不發烈怒。因此那地方到今日還叫亞割山谷。

他們說：『請給我們一個王來為我們審案』：撒母耳對這事很不高興，就禱告永恆主。永恆主對撒母耳說：『關於人民向你說的一切話你只管依從，因為他們不是棄絕你，乃是棄絕了我作王來管理他們。自從我領他們從埃及上來的日子到如今，他們總是離棄了我，去服事別的神；從前他們向我行的一切事，現在也向你照樣地行。現在你只管依從他們的話，只是要鄭重警告他們，告訴他們那要管理他們的王、其制度是怎麼樣。』

但是你、伯利恆以法他啊，你在猶大諸鄉村中雖然細小，將來必有一位從你那裏為我而出，在以色列中做統治者；他的根源出於亙古，出於往古之日。

今日不是收割麥子的時候麼？我要呼求永恆主打雷下雨，那麼你們就可以知道，可以看出：你們所行的壞事——那求立王的事——在永恆主看來、是多麼大的壞事。』於是撒母耳呼求永恆主，永恆主就在那一天打雷下雨；眾民便非常敬畏永恆主和撒母耳。眾民對撒母耳說：『請為僕人們禱告永恆主你的上帝，免得我們死亡，因為求立王的事、正是在我們的一切罪上加了一件壞事。』

『你要告訴以色列人從他們各族取手杖，每一個父系的家屬一根手杖，從他們的眾首領、按着父系的家屬、共取十二根手仗。你要將各人的名字寫在各人的手杖上；
