1 And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Behold, I have listened unto your voice in all that you2f said unto me, and have made a king over you.
2 And now, behold, the king walks before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
3 Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind my eyes with that? and I will restore it you.
4 And they said, youi have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have youi taken ought of any man’s hand.
5 And he said unto them, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that you2f have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.
6 And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto the people, [It is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that advanced Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High], and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) of all the righteous acts of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he did to you and to your fathers.
8 When Ya’akov [Heal of God] was come into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and your fathers cried unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), then the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High], which brought forth your fathers out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and made them dwell in this place.
9 And when they forgot the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], he sold them into the hand of Sisra [Battle Array (to put on; to clothe)], captain of the host of Hatzor [Castle], and into the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and into the hand of the king of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and they fought against them.
10 And they cried unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and have served Ba’alim [lords (false gods)] and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)]: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve youi.
11 And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent Yeruba’al [let Ba’al defend], and B’dan [in judging], and Yiftach [He Opens], and Sh’mu’el [His name is El], and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and you2f dwelled safe.
12 And when you2f saw that Nachash [serpent] the king of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] came against you, you2f said unto me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [was] your king.
13 Now therefore behold the king whom you2f have chosen, [and] whom you2f have desired! and, behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has set a king over you.
14 If you2f will fear the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), then shall both you2f and also the king that reigns over you continue following the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]:
15 But if you2f will not obey the voice of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but rebel against the commandment of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), then shall the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be against you, as [it was] against your fathers.
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will do before your eyes.
17 [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and he shall send thunder and rain; that you2f may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which you2f have done in the sight of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in asking you a king.
18 So Sh’mu’el [His name is El] called unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) and Sh’mu’el [His name is El].
19 And all the people said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El], Pray for youi servants unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.
20 And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto the people, Fear not: you2f have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but serve the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with all your heart;
21 And turn you2f not aside: for [then should you2f go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain.
22 For the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it has pleased the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to make you his people.
23 Moreover as for me, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forbid that I should sin against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24 Only fear the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve him in twith all your heart: for consider how great [things] he has done for you.
25 But if you2f shall still do wickedly, you2f shall be consumed, both you2f and your king.
