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.
OLELO aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Na Iehova wau i hoouna mai e poni ia oe i alii maluna o kona poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela: ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ka leo o na olelo a Iehova.
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ke kaua, peneia, Ke hoomanao nei au i ka mea a ka Amaleka i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela, i kona ku e mai ia ia ma ke ala, i ka manawa i hele mai ai ia mai Aigupita mai.
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.’”
Ano hoi e hele oe, a e luku aku i ka Ameleka, a e luku aku i ko lakou mea a pau loa, mai minamina ia lakou; aka, e luku aku i ke kane a me ka wahine, i ke keiki a me ka mea omo waiu, i ka bipi a me ka hipa, i ke kamelo a me ka hoki.
4 So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka, a helu aku la ia lakou ma Telaima, elua haneri tausani kanaka koa hele wawae, a he umi tausani kanaka o ka Iuda.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.
A hele aku la o Saula i ke kulanakauhale o ka Amaleka, a kaua aku la ma ke awawa.
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.
Olelo aku la o Saula i ka poe Keni, E hele aku, e haalele, e iho ilalo mai waena mai o ka Amaleka, o luku aku auanei au ia oukou me lakou: no ka mea, ua lokomaikai oukou i na mamo a Iseraela, ia lakou i hele mai, mai Aigupita mai. Hele aku la ka poe Keni mailoko aku o ka Amaleka.
7 Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
Luku aku la o Saula i ka Amaleka ma Havila, a hiki aku i Sura e ku pono ana i Aigupita.
8 He captured Agag king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword.
A lawe ola aku la oia ia Agaga ke alii o ka Amaleka, a luku aku la i na kanaka a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua.
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.
Aka, o Saula a me na kanaka i hoola aku la ia Agaga, a i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a o ka poe bipi, a i na mea maikai iki iho, a i na keiki hipa, a i na mea maikai a pau, aole i luku aku ia lakou: aka, o na mea i hoowahawahaia, a me na mea ino, ua pau loa ia mea i ka lukuia e lakou.
10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Samuela, i mai la,
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.
Ke mihi nei au i kuu hoonoho ana ia Saula i alii: no ka mea, ua huli ae ia mai ka hahai ana ia'u, aole ia i hooko i ka'u mau kauoha. Huhu iho la o Samuela; a kahea aku la ia ia Iehova ia po a pau.
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.”
I ka wanaao, ala ae la o Samuela e halawai me Saula i kakahiaka, ua haiia mai ia Samuela, i mai la, Ua hiki mai o Saula ma Karemela, a ua kukulu i mea hoomanao nona, a ua huli ae, a ua hele aku, a ua iho ilalo i Gilegala.
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said to him, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD’s instructions.”
A hele aku la o Samuela io Saula la; i mai la o Saula ia ia, Pomaikai oe ia Iehova; ua hooko no wau i ka olelo a Iehova.
14 But Samuel replied, “Then what is this bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
I aku la o Samuela, No ke aha keia alala ana o na hipa ma kuu pepeiao, a me ka uwo ana o na bipi a'u e lohe nei?
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.”
I mai la o Saula, Ua lawe mai lakou ia mau mea mai ka Amaleka mai: no ka mea, ua hoola na kanaka i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a me na bipi, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova, i kou Akua; a o na mea e ae, ua pau ia makou i ka lukuia.
16 “Stop!” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
Olelo aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Alia, a e hai aku au ia oe i ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u i neia po. I mai la kela ia ia, E hai mai.
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
I aku la o Samuela, I ka wa i uuku ai oe i kou maka, aole anei i lilo oe i luna no na ohana o ka Iseraela, a i poni mai hoi o Iehova ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela?
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.’
Hoouna aku la o Iehova ia oe ma ke ala, i aku la, E hele, a e luku loa aku i ka poe hewa o ka Amaleka, a e kaua aku ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia.
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?”
No ke aha la oe i hoolohe ole ai i ka leo o Iehova, a ua lawe hewa oe i ka waiwai pio, a ua hana hewa oe imua o Iehova.
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.
I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hoolohe no wau i ka leo o Iehova, a ua hele au ma ke ala a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia'u, a ua lawe mai au ia Agaga, i ke alii o ka Amaleka, a ua luku loa aku au i ka Amaleka.
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.”
Aka, ua lawe na kanaka i ka waiwai pio, i ka hipa, a me ka bipi, i na mea maikai o na mea laa, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova i kou Akua ma Gilegala.
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.
I aku la o Samuela, Ua like anei ka oluolu o Iehova i na mohaikuni, a i na alana, me ka hoolohe ana i ka leo o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka pono o ka hoolohe ana, mamua o ka mohai, a o ka maliu ana, mamua o ka momona o na hipakane.
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.”
No ka mea, o ke kipi, ua like ia me ka hewa o ka anaana, a o ka hoopaakiki, me ka lapuwale o ka hoomanakii: no kou haalele ana i ka olelo a Iehova, ua haalele mai ia ia oe, aole oe ke alii.
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.
I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hewa au; no ka mea, ua malama ole au i ke kauoha a Iehova, a me kau mau olelo, no kuu makau ana i na kanaka, a ua hoolohe au i ko lakou leo.
25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”
Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala mai oe i kuu hewa, a e huli ae me au, a e hoomana aku ia Iehova.
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.”
I aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Aole au e huli ae me oe; no ka mea, ua haalele oe i ke kauoha a Iehova, a ua haalele mai o Iehova ia oe, aole oe ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
27 As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.
A i ka huli ana ae o Samuela e hele aku, lalau mai la kela i ka lepa o kona aahu, a nahae iho la ia.
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.
I aku la o Samuela ia ia, Ua hoonahae mai o Iehova i ke aupuni mai ou aku la i keia la, a ua haawi aku ia mea i kekahi hoalauna ou, ua oi aku kona pono i kou.
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.”
Aole no hoi e hoopunipuni ka Oiaio o ka Iseraela, aole hoi ia e mihi; no ka mea, aole no ia he kanaka, i mihi ai oia.
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.”
I mai la ia, Ua hewa au; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u imua o na lunakahiko o kuu poe kanaka, a imua hoi o ka Iseraela, a e huli hou ae me au, i hoomana aku ai au ia Iehova i kou Akua.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
A huli hou ae la o Samuela mahope o Saula, a hoomana aku la o Saula ia Iehova.
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.”
Alaila, i aku la o Samuela, E kaina mai o Agaga, ke alii o ka Amaleka i o'u nei: a hele olioli mai o Agaga, i mai la, He oiaio, ua hala aku la ka awaawa o ka make.
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.
I aku la o Samuela, E like me kau pahikaua i hoonele ai i na wahine i keiki ole, pela hoi e hooneleia'i kou makuwahine i ke keiki ole iwaena o na wahine. Oki liilii iho la o Samuela ia Agaga imua o Iehova ma Gilegala.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
A hele aku la o Samuela ma Rama; a pii ae la o Saula i kona hale ma Gibea o Saula.
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.
Aole hele hou o Samuela e ike ia Saula, a hiki i kona la e make ai; aka, uwe iho la o Samuela ia Saula: a mihi iho la o Iehova i kona hooalii ana ia Saula maluna o ka Iseraela.
