8:1

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐγήρασεν Σαμουηλ καὶ κατέστησεν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ δικαστὰς τῷ Ισραηλ

And it came to pass, when Samuel grew old, that he appointed his sons as judges for Israel.

撒母耳年老的時候，就立他的兒子作以色列的士師。

8:2

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ πρωτότοκος Ιωηλ καὶ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου Αβια δικασταὶ ἐν Βηρσαβεε

And these are the names of his sons: the firstborn Joel, and the name of the second Abia; they were judges in Bersabee.

他兒子的名字是這樣：長子約珥，次子名叫亞比亞；他們在別是巴作士師。

8:3

καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέκλιναν ὀπίσω τῆς συντελείας καὶ ἐλάμβανον δῶρα καὶ ἐξέκλινον δικαιώματα

And his sons did not walk in his way, but they turned aside after gain, and they took bribes and perverted judgments.

他的兒子不行他的道，卻偏去追求利益，收受賄賂，屈枉公正的判斷。

8:4

καὶ συναθροίζονται ἄνδρες Ισραηλ καὶ παραγίνονται εἰς Αρμαθαιμ πρὸς Σαμουηλ

And the men of Israel gather themselves together and come to Armathaim to Samuel.

以色列人就聚集起來，來到亞瑪他音見撒母耳。

8:5

καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ σὺ γεγήρακας καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου οὐ πορεύονται ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου καὶ νῦν κατάστησον ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς βασιλέα δικάζειν ἡμᾶς καθὰ καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἔθνη

And they said to him, Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your way; and now appoint over us a king to judge us, like the rest of the nations also.

對他說：看哪，你年紀老邁了，你的兒子也不行你的道；現在求你為我們立一個王審判我們，像其餘的列國一樣。

8:6

καὶ ἦν πονηρὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαμουηλ ὡς εἶπαν δὸς ἡμῖν βασιλέα δικάζειν ἡμᾶς καὶ προσηύξατο Σαμουηλ πρὸς κύριον

And the matter was evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.

他們說：給我們一個王審判我們。這話在撒母耳眼中看為惡，撒母耳就禱告主。

8:7

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Σαμουηλ ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ καθὰ ἂν λαλήσωσίν σοι ὅτι οὐ σὲ ἐξουθενήκασιν ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐμὲ ἐξουδενώκασιν τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν

And the Lord said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from reigning over them.

主對撒母耳說：百姓向你所說的一切話，你只管聽從；因為他們不是厭棄你，乃是厭棄我，不要我作王治理他們。

8:8

κατὰ πάντα τὰ ποιήματα ἃ ἐποίησάν μοι ἀφ’ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐδούλευον θεοῖς ἑτέροις οὕτως αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν καὶ σοί

According to all the deeds which they have done to me from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, and they forsook me and served other gods, so they are doing to you also.

自從我領他們出埃及的日子直到今日，他們向我所行的一切事都是如此：他們離棄我，去事奉別神；現在他們向你也是這樣行。

8:9

καὶ νῦν ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν πλὴν ὅτι διαμαρτυρόμενος διαμαρτύρῃ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς αὐτοῖς τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ βασιλέως ὃς βασιλεύσει ἐπ’ αὐτούς

And now listen to their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them, and you shall declare to them the ordinance of the king who will reign over them.

現在你要聽從他們的話，只是務要鄭重警戒他們，將那要作王治理他們之王的規矩告訴他們。
