1  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto your voice⁶⁹⁶³ in all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ ye said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, and have made a king^{4427 4428} over⁵⁹²¹ you.

2  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you: and I⁵⁸⁹ am old²²⁰⁴ and grayheaded;⁷⁸⁶⁷ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my sons¹¹²¹ are with⁸⁵⁴ you: and I⁵⁸⁹ have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you from my childhood^{4480 5271} unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

3  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ here I am: witness⁶⁰³⁰ against me before⁵⁰⁴⁸ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and before⁵⁰⁴⁸ his anointed:⁴⁸⁹⁹ whose^{4310 853} ox⁷⁷⁹⁴ have I taken?³⁹⁴⁷ or whose⁴³¹⁰ ass²⁵⁴³ have I taken?³⁹⁴⁷ or whom⁴³¹⁰ have I defrauded?^{6231 853} whom⁴³¹⁰ have I oppressed?⁷⁵³³ or of whose hand^{4480 3027 4310} have I received³⁹⁴⁷ any bribe³⁷²⁴ to blind⁵⁹⁵⁶ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ therewith? and I will restore⁷⁷²⁵ it you.

4  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ defrauded⁶²³¹ us, nor³⁸⁰⁸ oppressed⁷⁵³³ us, neither³⁸⁰⁸ hast thou taken³⁹⁴⁷ aught³⁹⁷² of any man's hand.^{4480 3027 376}

5  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ against you, and his anointed⁴⁸⁹⁹ is witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ day,³¹¹⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ ye have not³⁸⁰⁸ found⁴⁶⁷² aught³⁹⁷² in my hand.³⁰²⁷ And they answered,⁵⁵⁹ He is witness.⁵⁷⁰⁷

6  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ It is the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ advanced^{6213 853} Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and that⁸³⁴ brought^{5927 853} your fathers¹ up out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

7  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore stand still,³³²⁰ that I may reason⁸¹⁹⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ you before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the righteous acts⁶⁶⁶⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he did⁶²¹³ to⁸⁵⁴ you and to⁸⁵⁴ your fathers.¹

8  When⁸³⁴ Jacob³²⁹⁰ was come⁹³⁵ into Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and your fathers¹ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent^{7971 853} Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ which brought forth^{3318 853} your fathers¹ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and made them dwell³⁴²⁷ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

9  And when they forgot^{7911 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ he sold⁴³⁷⁶ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Sisera,⁵⁵¹⁶ captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the host⁶⁶³⁵ of Hazor,²⁶⁷⁴ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and they fought³⁸⁹⁸ against them.

10  And they cried²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ we have forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and have served^{5647 853} Baalim¹¹⁶⁸ and Ashtaroth:⁶²⁵² but now⁶²⁵⁸ deliver⁵³³⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3027} of our enemies,³⁴¹ and we will serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee.

11  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent^{7971 853} Jerubbaal,³³⁷⁸ and Bedan,⁹¹⁷ and Jephthah,³³¹⁶ and Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ and delivered⁵³³⁷ you out of the hand^{4480 3027} of your enemies³⁴¹ on every side,^{4480 5439} and ye dwelled³⁴²⁷ safe.⁹⁸³

12  And when ye saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ Nahash⁵¹⁷⁶ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ came⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ you, ye said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, Nay;³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ a king⁴⁴²⁸ shall reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ us: when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ was your king.⁴⁴²⁸

13  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore behold²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ whom⁸³⁴ ye have chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and whom⁸³⁴ ye have desired!⁷⁵⁹² and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath set⁵⁴¹⁴ a king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ you.

14  If⁵¹⁸ ye will fear^{3372 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him, and obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and not³⁸⁰⁸ rebel against^{4784 853} the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ then shall both¹⁵⁷¹ ye⁸⁵⁹ and also¹⁵⁷¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ that⁸³⁴ reigneth⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ you continue¹⁹⁶¹ following³¹⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God:⁴³⁰

15  But if⁵¹⁸ ye will not³⁸⁰⁸ obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but rebel against^{4784 853} the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ then shall the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ against you, as it was against your fathers.¹

16  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore¹⁵⁷¹ stand³³²⁰ and see^{7200 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ great¹⁴¹⁹ thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will do⁶²¹³ before your eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

17  Is it not³⁸⁰⁸ wheat²⁴⁰⁶ harvest⁷¹⁰⁵ today?³¹¹⁷ I will call⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and he shall send⁵⁴¹⁴ thunder⁶⁹⁶³ and rain;⁴³⁰⁶ that ye may perceive³⁰⁴⁵ and see⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ your wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ is great,⁷²²⁷ which⁸³⁴ ye have done⁶²¹³ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ in asking⁷⁵⁹² you a king.⁴⁴²⁸

18  So Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ called⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁵⁴¹⁴ thunder⁶⁹⁶³ and rain⁴³⁰⁶ that¹⁹³¹ day:³¹¹⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ greatly³⁹⁶⁶ feared^{3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ and Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰

19  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Pray⁶⁴¹⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ that we die⁴¹⁹¹ not:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ we have added³²⁵⁴ unto⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ our sins²⁴⁰³ this evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ to ask⁷⁵⁹² us a king.⁴⁴²⁸

20  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Fear³³⁷² not:⁴⁰⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ have done^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ wickedness:⁷⁴⁵¹ yet³⁸⁹ turn not aside^{408 5493} from following^{4480 310} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but serve^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ your heart;³⁸²⁴

21  And turn ye not aside:^{3808 5493} for³⁵⁸⁸ then should ye go after³¹⁰ vain⁸⁴¹⁴ things, which⁸³⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ profit³²⁷⁶ nor³⁸⁰⁸ deliver;⁵³³⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are vain.⁸⁴¹⁴

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will not³⁸⁰⁸ forsake^{5203 853} his people⁵⁹⁷¹ for his great¹⁴¹⁹ name's⁸⁰³⁴ sake:⁵⁶⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ it hath pleased²⁹⁷⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to make⁶²¹³ you his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

23  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ as for me,⁵⁹⁵ God forbid⁴⁸⁶ that I should sin^{4480 2398} against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in ceasing^{4480 2308} to pray⁶⁴¹⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ you: but I will teach³³⁸⁴ you the good²⁸⁹⁶ and the right³⁴⁷⁷ way:¹⁸⁷⁰

24  Only³⁸⁹ fear^{3372 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him in truth⁵⁷¹ with all³⁶⁰⁵ your heart:³⁸²⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ consider^{7200 853} how⁸³⁴ great things he hath done¹⁴³¹ for⁵⁹⁷³ you.

25  But if⁵¹⁸ ye shall still do wickedly,^{7489 7489} ye shall be consumed,⁵⁵⁹⁵ both¹⁵⁷¹ ye⁸⁵⁹ and¹⁵⁷¹ your king.⁴⁴²⁸

1 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς πάντα ἄνδρα Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἤκουσα φωνῆς ὑμῶν εἰς πάντα ὅσα εἴπατέ μοι καὶ ἐβασίλευσα ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς βασιλέα

2 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς διαπορεύεται ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν κἀγὼ γεγήρακα καὶ καθήσομαι καὶ οἱ υἱοί μου ἰδοὺ ἐν ὑμῖν κἀγὼ ἰδοὺ διελήλυθα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

3 ἰδοὺ ἐγώ ἀποκρίθητε κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐνώπιον χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ μόσχον τίνος εἴληφα ἢ ὄνον τίνος εἴληφα ἢ τίνα κατεδυνάστευσα ὑμῶν ἢ τίνα ἐξεπίεσα ἢ ἐκ χειρὸς τίνος εἴληφα ἐξίλασμα καὶ ὑπόδημα ἀποκρίθητε κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀποδώσω ὑμῖν

4 καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Σαμουηλ οὐκ ἠδίκησας ἡμᾶς καὶ οὐ κατεδυνάστευσας καὶ οὐκ ἔθλασας ἡμᾶς καὶ οὐκ εἴληφας ἐκ χειρὸς οὐδενὸς οὐδέν

5 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς τὸν λαόν μάρτυς κύριος ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ μάρτυς χριστὸς αὐτοῦ σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅτι οὐχ εὑρήκατε ἐν χειρί μου οὐθέν καὶ εἶπαν μάρτυς

6 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων μάρτυς κύριος ὁ ποιήσας τὸν Μωυσῆν καὶ τὸν Ααρων ὁ ἀναγαγὼν τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου

7 καὶ νῦν κατάστητε καὶ δικάσω ὑμᾶς ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ ὑμῖν τὴν πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην κυρίου ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ ἐν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν

8 ὡς εἰσῆλθεν Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτοὺς Αἴγυπτος καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος τὸν Μωυσῆν καὶ τὸν Ααρων καὶ ἐξήγαγεν τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ

9 καὶ ἐπελάθοντο κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Σισαρα ἀρχιστρατήγου Ιαβιν βασιλέως Ασωρ καὶ εἰς χεῖρας ἀλλοφύλων καὶ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Μωαβ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς

10 καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἔλεγον ἡμάρτομεν ὅτι ἐγκατελίπομεν τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐδουλεύσαμεν τοῖς Βααλιμ καὶ τοῖς ἄλσεσιν καὶ νῦν ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι

11 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος τὸν Ιεροβααλ καὶ τὸν Βαρακ καὶ τὸν Ιεφθαε καὶ τὸν Σαμουηλ καὶ ἐξείλατο ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν τῶν κυκλόθεν καὶ κατῳκεῖτε πεποιθότες

12 καὶ εἴδετε ὅτι Ναας βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Αμμων ἦλθεν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς καὶ εἴπατε οὐχί ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ὅτι βασιλεὺς βασιλεύσει ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν καὶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν

13 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς ὃν ἐξελέξασθε καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκεν κύριος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς βασιλέα

14 ἐὰν φοβηθῆτε τὸν κύριον καὶ δουλεύσητε αὐτῷ καὶ ἀκούσητε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἐρίσητε τῷ στόματι κυρίου καὶ ἦτε καὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ βασιλεύων ἐφ᾽ ὑμῶν ὀπίσω κυρίου πορευόμενοι

15 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσητε τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου καὶ ἐρίσητε τῷ στόματι κυρίου καὶ ἔσται χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν

16 καὶ νῦν κατάστητε καὶ ἴδετε τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ μέγα τοῦτο ὃ ὁ κύριος ποιήσει ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν

17 οὐχὶ θερισμὸς πυρῶν σήμερον ἐπικαλέσομαι κύριον καὶ δώσει φωνὰς καὶ ὑετόν καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι ἡ κακία ὑμῶν μεγάλη ἣν ἐποιήσατε ἐνώπιον κυρίου αἰτήσαντες ἑαυτοῖς βασιλέα

18 καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο Σαμουηλ τὸν κύριον καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος φωνὰς καὶ ὑετὸν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν κύριον σφόδρα καὶ τὸν Σαμουηλ

19 καὶ εἶπαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαμουηλ πρόσευξαι ὑπὲρ τῶν δούλων σου πρὸς κύριον θεόν σου καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν ὅτι προστεθείκαμεν πρὸς πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν κακίαν αἰτήσαντες ἑαυτοῖς βασιλέα

20 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς τὸν λαόν μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὑμεῖς πεποιήκατε τὴν πᾶσαν κακίαν ταύτην πλὴν μὴ ἐκκλίνητε ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν κυρίου καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν

21 καὶ μὴ παραβῆτε ὀπίσω τῶν μηθὲν ὄντων οἳ οὐ περανοῦσιν οὐθὲν καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἐξελοῦνται ὅτι οὐθέν εἰσιν

22 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ τὸ μέγα ὅτι ἐπιεικέως κύριος προσελάβετο ὑμᾶς αὑτῷ εἰς λαόν

23 καὶ ἐμοὶ μηδαμῶς τοῦ ἁμαρτεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ ἀνιέναι τοῦ προσεύχεσθαι περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ δουλεύσω τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ δείξω ὑμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἀγαθὴν καὶ τὴν εὐθεῖαν

24 πλὴν φοβεῖσθε τὸν κύριον καὶ δουλεύσατε αὐτῷ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν ὅτι εἴδετε ἃ ἐμεγάλυνεν μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν

25 καὶ ἐὰν κακίᾳ κακοποιήσητε καὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὑμῶν προστεθήσεσθε

1 Dixit autem Samuel ad universum Israël: Ecce audivi vocem vestram juxta omnia quæ locuti estis ad me, et constitui super vos regem.

2 Et nunc rex graditur ante vos: ego autem senui, et incanui: porro filii mei vobiscum sunt: itaque conversatus coram vobis ab adolescentia mea usque ad hanc diem, ecce præsto sum.

3 Loquimini de me coram Domino, et coram christo ejus, utrum bovem cujusquam tulerim, aut asinum: si quempiam calumniatus sum, si oppressi aliquem, si de manu cujusquam munus accepi: et contemnam illud hodie, restituamque vobis.

4 Et dixerunt: Non es calumniatus nos, neque oppressisti, neque tulisti de manu alicujus quippiam.

5 Dixitque ad eos: Testis est Dominus adversum vos, et testis christus ejus in die hac, quia non inveneritis in manu mea quippiam. Et dixerunt: Testis.

6 Et ait Samuel ad populum: Dominus, qui fecit Moysen et Aaron, et eduxit patres nostros de terra Ægypti.

7 Nunc ergo state, ut judicio contendam adversum vos coram Domino de omnibus misericordiis Domini quas fecit vobiscum et cum patribus vestris:

8 quomodo Jacob ingressus est in Ægyptum, et clamaverunt patres vestri ad Dominum: et misit Dominus Moysen et Aaron, et eduxit patres vestros de Ægypto, et collocavit eos in loco hoc.

9 Qui obliti sunt Domini Dei sui, et tradidit eos in manu Sisaræ magistri militiæ Hasor, et in manu Philisthinorum, et in manu regis Moab: et pugnaverunt adversum eos.

10 Postea autem clamaverunt ad Dominum, et dixerunt: Peccavimus, quia dereliquimus Dominum, et servivimus Baalim et Astaroth: nunc ergo erue nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum, et serviemus tibi.

11 Et misit Dominus Jerobaal, et Badan, et Jephte, et Samuel, et eruit vos de manu inimicorum vestrorum per circuitum, et habitastis confidenter.

12 Videntes autem quod Naas rex filiorum Ammon venisset adversum vos, dixistis mihi: Nequaquam, sed rex imperabit nobis: cum Dominus Deus vester regnaret in vobis.

13 Nunc ergo præsto est rex vester, quem elegistis et petistis: ecce dedit vobis Dominus regem.

14 Si timueritis Dominum, et servieritis ei, et audieritis vocem ejus, et non exasperaveritis os Domini, eritis et vos, et rex qui imperat vobis, sequentes Dominum Deum vestrum:

15 si autem non audieritis vocem Domini, sed exasperaveritis sermones ejus, erit manus Domini super vos, et super patres vestros.

16 Sed et nunc state, et videte rem istam grandem quam facturus est Dominus in conspectu vestro.

17 Numquid non messis tritici est hodie? invocabo Dominum, et dabit voces et pluvias: et scietis, et videbitis, quia grande malum feceritis vobis in conspectu Domini, petentes super vos regem.

18 Et clamavit Samuel ad Dominum, et dedit Dominus voces et pluvias in illa die.

19 Et timuit omnis populus nimis Dominum et Samuelem, et dixit universus populus ad Samuelem: Ora pro servis tuis ad Dominum Deum tuum, ut non moriamur: addidimus enim universis peccatis nostris malum, ut peteremus nobis regem.

20 Dixit autem Samuel ad populum: Nolite timere: vos fecistis universum malum hoc, verumtamen nolite recedere a tergo Domini, sed servite Domino in omni corde vestro.

21 Et nolite declinare post vana, quæ non proderunt vobis, neque eruent vos, quia vana sunt.

22 Et non derelinquet Dominus populum suum propter nomen suum magnum: quia juravit Dominus facere vos sibi populum.

23 Absit autem a me hoc peccatum in Dominum, ut cessem orare pro vobis, et docebo vos viam bonam et rectam.

24 Igitur timete Dominum, et servite ei in veritate, et ex toto corde vestro: vidistis enim magnifica quæ in vobis gesserit.

25 Quod si perseveraveritis in malitia, et vos et rex vester pariter peribitis.
