LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο ως εγηρασεν σαμουηλ και κατεστησεν τους υιους αυτου δικαστας τω ισραηλ	1 And it happened that, when Samuel had become old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
2 και ταυτα τα ονοματα των υιων αυτου πρωτοτοκος ιωηλ και ονομα του δευτερου αβια δικασται εν βηρσαβεε	2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of the second was Abijah: judges at Beersheba.
3 και ουκ επορευθησαν οι υιοι αυτου εν οδω αυτου και εξεκλιναν οπισω της συντελειας και ελαμβανον δωρα και εξεκλινον δικαιωματα	3 But his sons did not walk in his ways. Instead, they turned aside, pursuing avarice. And they accepted bribes, and they perverted judgment.
4 και συναθροιζονται ανδρες ισραηλ και παραγινονται εις αρμαθαιμ προς σαμουηλ	4 Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel, having gathered together, went to Samuel at Ramah.
5 και ειπαν αυτω ιδου συ γεγηρακας και οι υιοι σου ου πορευονται εν τη οδω σου και νυν καταστησον εφ' ημας βασιλεα δικαζειν ημας καθα και τα λοιπα εθνη	5 And they said to him: “Behold, you are elderly, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint for us a king, so that he may judge us, just as all the nations have.”
6 και ην πονηρον το ρημα εν οφθαλμοις σαμουηλ ως ειπαν δος ημιν βασιλεα δικαζειν ημας και προσηυξατο σαμουηλ προς κυριον	6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ακουε της φωνης του λαου καθα αν λαλησωσιν σοι οτι ου σε εξουθενηκασιν αλλ' η εμε εξουδενωκασιν του μη βασιλευειν επ' αυτων	7 Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.
8 κατα παντα τα ποιηματα α εποιησαν μοι αφ' ης ημερας ανηγαγον αυτους εξ αιγυπτου εως της ημερας ταυτης και εγκατελιπον με και εδουλευον θεοις ετεροις ουτως αυτοι ποιουσιν και σοι	8 In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.
9 και νυν ακουε της φωνης αυτων πλην οτι διαμαρτυρομενος διαμαρτυρη αυτοις και απαγγελεις αυτοις το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως ος βασιλευσει επ' αυτους	9 Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them.”
10 και ειπεν σαμουηλ παν το ρημα κυριου προς τον λαον τους αιτουντας παρ' αυτου βασιλεα	10 And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
11 και ειπεν τουτο εσται το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως ος βασιλευσει εφ' υμας τους υιους υμων λημψεται και θησεται αυτους εν αρμασιν αυτου και ιππευσιν αυτου και προτρεχοντας των αρματων αυτου	11 And he said: “This will be the right of the king who will have authority over you: He will take your sons, and place them in his chariots. And he will make them his horsemen and his runners before his four-horse chariots.
12 και θεσθαι αυτους εαυτω χιλιαρχους και εκατονταρχους και θεριζειν θερισμον αυτου και τρυγαν τρυγητον αυτου και ποιειν σκευη πολεμικα αυτου και σκευη αρματων αυτου	12 And he will appoint them to be his tribunes and centurions, and the plowmen of his fields, and the harvesters of the grain, and the makers of his weapons and chariots.
13 και τας θυγατερας υμων λημψεται εις μυρεψους και εις μαγειρισσας και εις πεσσουσας	13 Likewise, your daughters he will take for himself as makers of ointments, and as cooks and bakers.
14 και τους αγρους υμων και τους αμπελωνας υμων και τους ελαιωνας υμων τους αγαθους λημψεται και δωσει τοις δουλοις αυτου	14 Also, he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.
15 και τα σπερματα υμων και τους αμπελωνας υμων αποδεκατωσει και δωσει τοις ευνουχοις αυτου και τοις δουλοις αυτου	15 Moreover, he will take one tenth of your grain and of the results of your vineyards, so that he may give these to his eunuchs and servants.
16 και τους δουλους υμων και τας δουλας υμων και τα βουκολια υμων τα αγαθα και τους ονους υμων λημψεται και αποδεκατωσει εις τα εργα αυτου	16 Then, too, he will take your servants, and handmaids, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and he will set them to his work.
17 και τα ποιμνια υμων αποδεκατωσει και υμεις εσεσθε αυτω δουλοι	17 Also, he will take a tenth of your flocks. And you will be his servants.
18 και βοησεσθε εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ προσωπου βασιλεως υμων ου εξελεξασθε εαυτοις και ουκ επακουσεται κυριος υμων εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις οτι υμεις εξελεξασθε εαυτοις βασιλεα	18 And you will cry out, in that day, from the face of the king, whom you have chosen for yourselves. And the Lord will not heed you, in that day. For you requested a king for yourselves.”
19 και ουκ ηβουλετο ο λαος ακουσαι του σαμουηλ και ειπαν αυτω ουχι αλλ' η βασιλευς εσται εφ' ημας	19 But the people were not willing to listen to the voice of Samuel. Instead, they said: “By no means! For there shall be a king over us,
20 και εσομεθα και ημεις κατα παντα τα εθνη και δικασει ημας βασιλευς ημων και εξελευσεται εμπροσθεν ημων και πολεμησει τον πολεμον ημων	20 and we shall be just like all the Gentiles. And our king will judge us, and he will go out before us, and he will fight our wars for us.”
21 και ηκουσεν σαμουηλ παντας τους λογους του λαου και ελαλησεν αυτους εις τα ωτα κυριου	21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them to the ears of the Lord.
22 και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ακουε της φωνης αυτων και βασιλευσον αυτοις βασιλεα και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς ανδρας ισραηλ αποτρεχετω εκαστος εις την πολιν αυτου	22 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king over them.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Let each one go to his own city.”
