昔爾求我、欲得王公、護爾城邑、今爾王安在、士師安在、

现在，你的王在哪里呢？让他在你的各城中拯救你吧！你曾说“给我立君王和官长”，那些治理你的又在哪里呢？

昔爾曰、以王與牧伯賜我、今爾王安在、俾救爾於諸邑、爾之士師安在、

昔爾求我云、願為我設立王公、或作昔爾求我云願為我設王為我立侯伯今爾王安在、治理爾者安在、何不在爾諸邑救護爾、

Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns, of whom you said,‘ Give me a king and princes’?

Where is your king? Wasn’t he supposed to save you? Where are the rulers in all your towns? You said,‘ Give us a king and princes.’

Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities? Where are all your rulers— those of whom you said,“ Give me a king and princes”?

Now where is your king? Let him save you! Where are all the leaders of the land, the king and the officials you demanded of me?

Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities, and the rulers you demanded, saying,“ Give me a king and leaders”?

Where then is your king, That he might save you in all your cities; And your judges, to whom you said,“ Give me a king and princes”?

I will be your King; Where is any other, That he may save you in all your cities? And your judges to whom you said,‘ Give me a king and princes’?

Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities, and the rulers you demanded, saying,“ Give me a king and leaders”?

I will be thy king: where[ is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

Where then is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? Where are your rulers for whom you asked, saying,“ Give me a king and princes”?

Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said,‘ Give me a king and princes?’

彼所簡之王、所立之牧、非我所悅、以金銀作偶像、必為我所殄絕。

曰、爾年已邁、爾子不肖、請爾簡立一王、以治理我、無異他國。撒母耳聞民欲立王、以治其事、意甚不悅、禱於耶和華。

民曰、不畏耶和華、故無君上、如有王公、其奈我何、

以色列族眾知耶羅破暗已歸、則遣人招集會眾、立之為王、轄以色列族、除猶大支派以外。從大闢家者、絶無一人。

厥後蓄異謀、遣使與埃及王瑣通好、歲貢之物不復進納、亞述王知而禁錮之、

耶和華挺生士師、援民於敵手、乃民不聽從、狥欲從他上帝、而伏拜之、其祖在昔惟耶和華命是遵、及至斯民違道甚速。耶和華既挺生士師、則祐彼拯民出敵手、至終其世、蓋民罹暴虐、號呼以籲、故耶和華中心惻焉。

耶和華為我聽訟、耶和華為我立法、耶和華為我治理、必加拯救、

以色列族、必因造化之主而悅懌郇邑之民、必因大君而欣喜兮、

我耶和華、爾之聖主、以色列邦、我所肇造、為爾君王。

猶大人與、爾之眾邑、各事一上帝、其數相等、所作之像安在、盍使彼並起、拯救爾曹。

拿但業曰、夫子誠上帝子、以色列王也、

耶和華遣耶路巴力、比但、耶弗大、及我、援爾於四方之敵、俾爾安居。爾見亞捫王拿轄攻爾、爾則請我、為爾立王、不知爾上帝耶和華為爾之王。

時必曰、爾之上帝安在、爾所恃之上帝安在、彼享所祭之膏、彼飲所奠之酒、曷使起而援手、為爾作逋逃之藪乎。爾當知我之為我、外此別無上帝、殺戮者我、生全者我、攻擊者我、施醫者我、無能奪於我手。

上帝兮、為我之王、當謳歌而頌美之兮。上帝為寰宇之君、民當作歌、以揄揚之兮。

以色列族之聖主、耶和華為我之王、扞衛我兮、

當是日耶和華將為王於天下、獨一上主耶和華、其名也、

民不聽從撒母耳言、曰、我欲得王、為我治理、導我戰鬥、無異他國。

上帝我之王兮、雅各之族、願爾救之兮、

我民號呼於遠方曰、大君耶和華、豈非護衛郇邑者哉耶和華曰、彼崇事偶像及異邦人無靈之物、干我震怒。

自昔迄今、上帝作我之君、援我於斯土兮、

耶和華為君、永世靡暨兮、異邦之民、見絕於斯地兮、

昔斯民出自埃及、我耶和華為爾上帝、我外無他救主、爾當勿崇他上帝、
