1 Samuel 15
1 Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.
Alò, Samuel te di a Saül: “SENYÈ a te voye mwen pou onksyone ou wa sou pèp Li a, sou Israël. Pou sa, koute pawòl a SENYÈ a.
2 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Mwen va pini Amalek pou sa li te fè Israël la, jan li te opoze li nan chemen an pandan li t ap vini sòti an Égypte la.
3 Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Alò, ale frape Amalek e detwi tout sa li genyen. Pa fè li gras, men mete a lanmò ni gason, ni fanm, ni timoun ni tibebe, bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.’”
4 So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
Epi Saül te pase lòd rasanble pèp la e te konte yo nan Thelaïm, de-san-mil sòlda apye yo, di-mil mesye Juda yo.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.
Saül te rive kote vil Amalek yo, e li te òganize yon anbiskad nan vale a.
6 And he warned the Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the Amalekites. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
Saül te di a Kenyen yo: “Ale, sòti kite Amalekit yo pou m pa detwi nou ansanm avèk yo; paske nou te montre favè nou anvè tout fis Israël yo lè yo te monte soti an Égypte.” Konsa, Kenyen yo te sòti nan mitan Amalekit yo.
7 Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
Konsa, Saül te bat Amalekit yo soti nan Havila pou rive Schur, ki te bò lès a Égypte la.
8 He captured Agag king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword.
Li te kaptire vivan Agag, wa a Amalekit yo e te detwi nèt tout pèp la avèk lam nepe.
9 Saul and his troops spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to destroy them, but they devoted to destruction all that was despised and worthless.
Men Saül avèk pèp la te lese Agag viv ansanm avèk pi bèl nan mouton yo, bèf yo, bèt gra yo, jenn mouton yo, tout sa ki te bon, e li pa t dakò pou detwi yo nèt. Men tout sa ki te meprize e san valè, yo te vin detwi nèt.
10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Samuel e te di:
11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night.
“Mwen regrèt ke M te fè Saül wa, paske li te vire fè bak nan swiv Mwen, e li pa t akonpli lòd Mwen yo.” Konsa, Samuel te vin twouble e li te kriye fò a SENYÈ a pandan tout nwit lan.
12 Early in the morning Samuel got up to confront Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel, and behold, he has set up a monument for himself and has turned and gone down to Gilgal.”
Samuel te leve granmmaten pou rankontre Saül. Yo te pale a Samuel, e te di: “Saül te vini nan Carmel e vwala, li te fè monte yon moniman pou tèt li, e li te vire kontinye desann vè Guilgal.”
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said to him, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD’s instructions.”
Samuel te vini kote Saül, e Saül te di li: “Beni se ou menm pa SENYÈ a! Mwen te akonpli lòd SENYÈ a.”
14 But Samuel replied, “Then what is this bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
Men Samuel te di li: “Men ki mouton ke m tande k ap blete nan zòrèy mwen la a e ki rèl a bèf ke m tande la a?”
15 Saul answered, “The troops brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, but the rest we devoted to destruction.”
Saül te di: “Yo te mennen yo soti nan Amalekit yo, paske pèp la te kite pi bèl nan mouton avèk bèf yo pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la. Men tout rès nou te genyen an nou te detwi l nèt.”
16 “Stop!” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
Alò, Samuel te di: “Tann e kite mwen menm di ou sa ke SENYÈ a te di mwen yèswa.” Epi li te di li: “Pale”!
17 And Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, have you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel
Samuel te di: “Èske se pa vrè, ke malgre ou te piti nan pwòp zye pa ou, ke ou te devni gran chèf a tribi Israël yo?
18 and sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinful Amalekites. Fight against them until you have wiped them out.’
Epi ke SENYÈ a te voye ou fè yon misyon e te di: ‘Ale detwi pechè yo nèt; Amalekit yo, e batay kont yo jiskaske yo fin disparèt.’
19 So why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you rush upon the plunder and do evil in the sight of the LORD?”
Pou sa, poukisa ou pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a; men ou te kouri sou piyaj la, e te fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ a?”
20 “But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction.
Alò Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te obeyi vwa SENYÈ a e te fè misyon nan sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen an e te mennen retounen Agag, wa Amalek la, e mwen te detwi nèt tout Amalekit yo.
21 The troops took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of the things devoted to destruction, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at Gilgal.”
Men pèp la te pran nan piyaj mouton avèk bèf yo, pi bèl nan sa ki te anba ve pou destriksyon an, pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a nan Guilgal.”
22 But Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.
Samuel te di: “Èske SENYÈ a twouve menm fòs plezi nan ofrann brile yo avèk sakrifis yo ke li jwenn nan obeyi vwa SENYÈ a? Veye byen, obeyisans pi bon ke sakrifis e koute pase grès a belye yo.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.”
Paske rebelyon se tankou peche divinasyon e refize swiv lòd se tankou inikite avèk idolatri. Akoz ou te refize pawòl SENYÈ a, Li osi te gentan refize ou kòm wa.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; I have transgressed the LORD’s commandment and your instructions, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
Alò, Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te peche; Mwen te vrèman transgrese kòmand SENYÈ a e pawòl a ou menm yo; paske mwen te pè pèp la e mwen te koute vwa pa yo.
25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”
Alò, pou sa, souple, padone peche mwen e retounen avè m pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a.”
26 “I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as king over Israel.”
Men Samuel te di a Saül: “Mwen p ap retounen avè w; paske ou te rejte pawòl a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te gentan rejte ou kòm wa sou Israël.”
27 As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.
Lè Samuel te vire pou l sòti, Saül te sezi bò manto li, e li te vin chire.
28 So Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
Epi Samuel te di li: “SENYÈ a te dechire wayòm ou an, e Li te bay li a vwazen ou an, ki pi bon pase ou.
29 Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.”
Anplis, Glwa Israël La p ap manti, ni chanje tèt Li. Paske Li pa yon nonm pou Li ta chanje tèt Li.”
30 “I have sinned,” Saul replied. “Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD your God.”
Alò li te di: “Mwen te peche; souple, onore mwen koulye a devan ansyen a pèp mwen yo ak devan Israël e retounen avè m, pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.”
31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
Konsa, Samuel te swiv Saül retounen e Saül te adore SENYÈ a.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him cheerfully, for he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
Alò, Samuel te di: “Mennen ban m Agag, wa Amalekit yo.” Epi Agag te vin kote li avèk kè kontan. Akoz Agag t ap di: “Asireman gou anmè lanmò a gen tan pase.”
33 But Samuel declared: “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.
Men Samuel te di: “Menm jan ke nepe ou te fè fanm yo vin manke pitit; konsa, manman ou va vin manke pitit pami fanm yo.” Epi Samuel te koupe Agag an mòso devan SENYÈ a nan Guilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
Samuel te ale Rama; men Saül te monte vè lakay li nan Guibea ki pou li.
35 And to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
Samuel pa t wè Saül ankò jis jou li te mouri an. Paske Samuel te gen anpil tristès akoz Saül. Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè Saül wa sou Israël.
