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.’”

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擊你們，就對我說：『不，要有一個王治理我們。』其實耶和華－你們的神是你們的王。

約書亞召集以色列的眾支派到示劍，他召了以色列的長老、領袖、審判官和官長來；他們都站在神面前。

百姓卻不肯聽撒母耳的話，說：「不！我們一定要一個王治理我們，

到了早晨，你們要按着支派近前來。耶和華所選的支派，要按着宗族近前來；耶和華所選的宗族，要按着家族近前來；耶和華所選的家族，要按着男丁，一個一個近前來。被選的人有當滅之物在他那裏，他和他所有的必被火焚燒，因為他違背了耶和華的約，又因他在以色列中做了愚妄的事。」於是，約書亞清早起來，召以色列按着支派近前來。選出來的是猶大支派。他召猶大的宗族近前來，選出來的是謝拉宗族。他召謝拉宗族，按着男丁，一個一個近前來，選出來的是撒底。他召撒底的家族，按着男丁，一個一個近前來，就選出猶大支派，謝拉的曾孫，撒底的孫子，迦米的兒子亞干。約書亞對亞干說：「我兒，我勸你將榮耀歸給耶和華－以色列的神，在他面前認罪，把你所做的事告訴我，不可向我隱瞞。」亞干回答約書亞說：「我實在得罪了耶和華－以色列的神。這是我所做的：我在所奪取的財物中看見一件美好的示拿外袍，二百舍客勒銀子，一條重五十舍客勒的金子。我貪愛這些物件，就拿去了。看哪，這些東西都埋在我帳棚內的地裏，銀子在外袍底下。」約書亞就派使者跑到亞干的帳棚裏。看哪，那件外袍藏在他的帳棚裏，銀子在外袍底下。他們從帳棚裏把這些東西取出來，拿到約書亞和以色列眾人那裏，倒在耶和華面前。約書亞和以色列眾人把謝拉的曾孫亞干和那銀子、那件外袍、那條金子，以及亞干的兒女、牛、驢、羊、帳棚，和他所有的，都帶着上到亞割谷去。約書亞說：「你為甚麼給我們招惹災禍呢？今日耶和華必使你遭受災禍。」於是以色列眾人用石頭打死他，用火焚燒他們，把石頭扔在其上。眾人在亞干身上堆了一大堆石頭，直存到今日。於是耶和華轉意，不發他的烈怒。因此，那地方名叫亞割谷，直到今日。

撒母耳不喜悅他們說「立一個王治理我們」，他就向耶和華禱告。耶和華對撒母耳說：「你只管聽從百姓向你說的一切話，因為他們不是厭棄你，而是厭棄我，不要我作他們的王。自從我領他們出埃及的日子到如今，他們離棄我，事奉別神；正像他們從前所做的一切事，現在他們也照樣向你做了。現在你只管聽從他們的話，不過要嚴厲警告他們，告訴他們將來王會用甚麼方式管轄他們。」

伯利恆的以法他啊，你在猶大諸城中雖小，將來必有一位從你那裏出來，在以色列中為我作掌權者；他的根源自亙古，從太初就有。

這不是割麥子的時候嗎？我求告耶和華，他必打雷降雨，讓你們知道並且看出，你們為自己求立王的事在耶和華眼前是犯大罪了。」於是撒母耳求告耶和華，耶和華就在這日打雷降雨，眾百姓就非常懼怕耶和華和撒母耳。眾百姓對撒母耳說：「請你為僕人向耶和華－你的神禱告，免得我們死亡，因為我們求立王的事，正是罪上加罪了。」

「你要吩咐以色列人，從他們當中取杖，每父家一根；從他們所有的領袖，按着父家，共取十二根。你要把各人的名字寫在他的杖上，
