7：1基列耶琳人就下来，将耶和华的约柜接上去，放在山上亚比拿达的家中，分派他儿子以利亚撒看守耶和华的约柜。
And the men of Kirjathjearim came； and fetched up the ark of the LORD； and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill； and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD。
7：2约柜在基列耶琳许久。过了二十年，以色列全家都倾向耶和华。
And it came to pass； while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim； that the time was long； for it was twenty years： and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD。
7：3撒母耳对以色列全家说，你们若一心归顺耶和华，就要把外邦的神和亚斯她录从你们中间除掉，专心归向耶和华，单单地事奉他。他必救你们脱离非利士人的手。
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel； saying； If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts； then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you； and prepare your hearts unto the LORD； and serve him only： and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines。
7：4以色列人就除掉诸巴力和亚斯她录，单单地事奉耶和华。
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth； and served the LORD only。
7：5撒母耳说，要使以色列众人聚集在米斯巴，我好为你们祷告耶和华。
And Samuel said； Gather all Israel to Mizpeh； and I will pray for you unto the LORD。
7：6他们就聚集在米斯巴，打水浇在耶和华面前，当日禁食，说，我们得罪了耶和华。于是撒母耳在米斯巴审判以色列人。
And they gathered together to Mizpeh； and drew water； and poured it out before the LORD； and fasted on that day； and said there； We have sinned against the LORD。 And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh。
7：7非利士人听见以色列人聚集在米斯巴，非利士的首领就上来要攻击以色列人。以色列人听见，就惧怕非利士人。
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh； the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel。 And when the children of Israel heard it； they were afraid of the Philistines。
7：8以色列人对撒母耳说，愿你不住地为我们呼求耶和华我们的神，救我们脱离非利士人的手。
And the children of Israel said to Samuel； Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us； that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines。
7：9撒母耳就把一只吃奶的羊羔献与耶和华作全牲的燔祭，为以色列人呼求耶和华。耶和华就应允他。
And Samuel took a sucking lamb； and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD： and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel； and the LORD heard him。
7：10撒母耳正献燔祭的时候，非利士人前来要与以色列人争战。当日，耶和华大发雷声，惊乱非利士人，他们就败在以色列人面前。
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering； the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel： but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines； and disfited them； and they were smitten before Israel。
7：11以色列人从米斯巴出来，追赶非利士人，击杀他们，直到伯甲的下边。
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh； and pursued the Philistines； and smote them； until they came under Bethcar。
7：12撒母耳将一块石头立在米斯巴和善的中间，给石头起名叫以便以谢，说，到如今耶和华都帮助我们。
Then Samuel took a stone； and set it between Mizpeh and Shen； and called the name of it Ebenezer； saying； Hitherto hath the LORD helped us。
7：13从此，非利士人就被制伏，不敢再入以色列人的境内。撒母耳作士师的时候，耶和华的手攻击非利士人。
So the Philistines were subdued； and they came no more into the coast of Israel： and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel。
7：14非利士人所取以色列人的城邑，从以革伦直到迦特，都归以色列人了。属这些城的四境，以色列人也从非利士人手下收回。那时以色列人与亚摩利人和好。
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel； from Ekron even unto Gath； and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines。 And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites。
7：15撒母耳平生作以色列的士师。
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life。
7：16他每年巡行到伯特利，吉甲，米斯巴，在这几处审判以色列人。
And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel； and Gilgal； and Mizpeh； and judged Israel in all those places。
7：17随后回到拉玛，因为他的家在那里。也在那里审判以色列人，且为耶和华筑了一座坛。
And his return was to Ramah； for there was his house； and there he judged Israel； and there he built an altar unto the LORD。

8：1撒母耳年纪老迈，就立他儿子作以色列的士师。
And it came to pass； when Samuel was old； that he made his sons judges over Israel。
8：2长子名叫约珥，次子名叫亚比亚。他们在别是巴作士师。
Now the name of his firstborn was Joel； and the name of his second； Abiah： they were judges in Beersheba。
8：3他儿子不行他的道，贪图财利，收受贿赂，屈枉正直。
And his sons walked not in his ways； but turned aside after lucre； and took bribes； and perverted judgment。
8：4以色列的长老都聚集，来到拉玛见撒母耳，
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together； and came to Samuel unto Ramah；
8：5对他说，你年纪老迈了，你儿子不行你的道。现在求你为我们立一个王治理我们，像列国一样。
And said unto him； Behold； thou art old； and thy sons walk not in thy ways： now make us a king to judge us like all the nations。
8：6撒母耳不喜悦他们说立一个王治理我们，他就祷告耶和华。
But the thing displeased Samuel； when they said； Give us a king to judge us。 And Samuel prayed unto the LORD。
8：7耶和华对撒母耳说，百姓向你说的一切话，你只管依从。因为他们不是厌弃你，乃是厌弃我，不要我作他们的王。
And the LORD said unto Samuel； Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee： for they have not rejected thee； but they have rejected me； that I should not reign over them。
8：8自从我领他们出埃及到如今，他们常常离弃我，事奉别神。现在他们向你所行的，是照他们素来所行的。
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day； wherewith they have forsaken me； and served other gods； so do they also unto thee。
8：9故此你要依从他们的话，只是当警戒他们，告诉他们将来那王怎样管辖他们。
Now therefore hearken unto their voice： howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them； and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them。
8：10撒母耳将耶和华的话都传给求他立王的百姓，说，
And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king。
8：11管辖你们的王必这样行，他必派你们的儿子为他赶车，跟马，奔走在车前。
And he said； This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you： He will take your sons； and appoint them for himself； for his chariots； and to be his horsemen； and some shall run before his chariots。
8：12又派他们作千夫长，五十夫长，为他耕种田地，收割庄稼，打造军器和车上的器械。
And he will appoint him captains over thousands； and captains over fifties； and will set them to ear his ground； and to reap his harvest； and to make his instruments of war； and instruments of his chariots。
8：13必取你们的女儿为他制造香膏，作饭烤饼。
And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries； and to be cooks； and to be bakers。
8：14也必取你们最好的田地，葡萄园，橄榄园赐给他的臣仆。
And he will take your fields； and your vineyards； and your oliveyards； even the best of them； and give them to his servants。
8：15你们的粮食和葡萄园所出的，他必取十分之一给他的太监和臣仆。
And he will take the tenth of your seed； and of your vineyards； and give to his officers； and to his servants。
8：16又必取你们的仆人婢女，健壮的少年人和你们的驴，供他的差役。
And he will take your menservants； and your maidservants； and your goodliest young men； and your asses； and put them to his work。
8：17你们的羊群，他必取十分之一，你们也必作他的仆人。
He will take the tenth of your sheep： and ye shall be his servants。
8：18那时你们必因所选的王哀求耶和华，耶和华却不应允你们。
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you； and the LORD will not hear you in that day。
8：19百姓竟不肯听撒母耳的话，说，不然。我们定要一个王治理我们，
Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel； and they said； Nay； but we will have a king over us；
8：20使我们像列国一样，有王治理我们，统领我们，为我们争战。
That we also may be like all the nations； and that our king may judge us； and go out before us； and fight our battles。
8：21撒母耳听见百姓这一切话，就将这话陈明在耶和华面前。
And Samuel heard all the words of the people； and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD。
8：22耶和华对撒母耳说，你只管依从他们的话，为他们立王。撒母耳对以色列人说，你们各归各城去吧。
And the LORD said to Samuel； Hearken unto their voice； and make them a king。 And Samuel said unto the men of Israel； Go ye every man unto his city。

9：1有一个便雅悯人，名叫基士，是便雅悯人亚斐亚的玄孙，比歌拉的曾孙，洗罗的孙子，亚别的儿子，是个大能的勇士（或作大财主）。
Now there was a man of Benjamin； whose name was Kish； the son of Abiel； the son of Zeror； the son of Bechorath； the son of Aphiah； a Benjamite； a mighty man of power。
9：2他有一个儿子，名叫扫罗，又健壮，又俊美，在以色列人中没有一个能比他的。身体比众民高过一头。
And he had a son； whose name was Saul； a choice young man； and a goodly： and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he： from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people。
