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.
A Samuilo reèe Saulu: Gospod me je poslao da te pomažem za cara nad narodom njegovijem, nad Izrailjem; slušaj dakle rijeèi Gospodnje.
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.
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: opomenuh se šta je uèinio Amalik Izrailju, kako mu se opro na putu kad je išao iz Misira.
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.’”
Zato idi, i pobij Amalika, i zatri kao prokleto sve što god ima; ne žali ga, nego pobij i ljude i žene i djecu i što je na sisi i volove i ovce i kamile i magarce.
4 So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
Tada Saul sazva narod, i izbroji ih u Telaimu, i bješe ih dvjesta tisuæa pješaka i deset tisuæa ljudi od Jude.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.
I doðe Saul do grada Amalièkoga, i namjesti zasjedu u potoku.
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.
I reèe Saul Kenejima: idite, odvojte se, uklonite se od Amalika, da vas ne bih potro s njima; jer ste vi uèinili milost svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem kad su išli iz Misira. I otidoše Keneji od Amalika.
7 Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
I Saul pobi Amalike od Avile do Sura, koji je prema Misiru.
8 He captured Agag king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword.
I uhvati Agaga cara Amalièkoga živa, a sav narod njegov pobi oštrijem maèem.
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.
I Saul i narod njegov poštedje Agaga i najbolje ovce i najbolje volove i ugojenu stoku i jaganjce i sve što bijaše dobro, i ne htješe pobiti; nego što bijaše zlo i bez cijene, ono samo pobiše.
10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Samuilu govoreæi:
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.
Kajem se što sam Saula postavio carem, jer je otstupio od mene, i nije izvršio mojih rijeèi. I rasrdi se Samuilo vrlo, i vikaše ka Gospodu svu noæ.
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 ustavši rano Samuilo poðe pred Saula. I javiše Samuilu govoreæi: Saul doðe u Karmil, i eno podiže sebi spomenik, pa se vrati odande i otide dalje i siðe u Galgal.
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said to him, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD’s instructions.”
Kad Samuilo doðe k Saulu, reèe mu Saul: blagosloven da si Gospodu! izvršio sam rijeè Gospodnju.
14 But Samuel replied, “Then what is this bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
A Samuilo reèe: kakva je to bleka ovaca u ušima mojim? i rika volova koju èujem?
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.”
A Saul reèe: od Amalika dognaše ih; jer narod poštedje najbolje ovce i najbolje volove da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvojemu; ostalo pak pobismo kao prokleto.
16 “Stop!” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
A Samuilo reèe Saulu: stani da ti kažem što mi je rekao Gospod noæas. Reèe mu: govori.
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
Tada reèe Samuilo: nijesi li bio mali sam u svojim oèima, pak si postao glava plemenima Izrailjevijem, i Gospod te pomaza za cara nad Izrailjem?
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.’
I Gospod te posla na ovaj put i reèe: idi, pobij grješne Amalike, i vojuj na njih dokle ih ne istrijebite.
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?”
Zašto dakle ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, nego se naklopi na plijen, i uèini zlo pred Gospodom?
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.
A Saul odgovori Samuilu: ta poslušao sam glas Gospodnji, i išao sam putem kojim me posla Gospod, i doveo sam Agaga cara Amalièkoga, a Amalike sam istrijebio.
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.”
Nego narod uze od plijena ovce i volove, najbolje izmeðu prokletijeh stvari, da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvojemu u Galgalu.
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.
Ali Samuilo reèe: zar su mile Gospodu žrtve paljenice i prinosi kao kad se sluša glas njegov? gle, poslušnost je bolja od žrtve i pokornost od pretiline ovnujske.
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.”
Jer je neposlušnost kao grijeh od èaranja, i nepokornost kao sujevjerstvo i idolopoklonstvo. Odbacio si rijeè Gospodnju, zato je i on tebe odbacio da ne budeš više car.
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.
Tada reèe Saul Samuilu: zgriješio sam što sam prestupio zapovijest Gospodnju i tvoje rijeèi; jer pobojah se naroda i poslušah glas njegov.
25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”
Nego sada oprosti mi grijeh moj, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu.
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.”
A Samuilo reèe Saulu: neæu se vratiti s tobom, jer si odbacio rijeè Gospodnju, i zato je tebe Gospod odbacio da ne budeš više car nad Izrailjem.
27 As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.
I Samuilo se okrete da ide, ali ga Saul uhvati za skut od plašta njegova, te se odadrije.
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.
Tada mu reèe Samuilo: odadro je Gospod carstvo Izrailjevo od tebe danas, i dao ga bližnjemu tvojemu, koji je bolji od tebe.
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.”
I doista junak Izrailjev neæe slagati, niti æe se raskajati; jer nije èovjek da se kaje.
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.”
A on reèe: zgriješio sam; ali mi sad uèini èast pred starješinama naroda mojega i pred Izrailjem, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu Bogu tvojemu.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
I vrativši se Samuilo otide za Saulom, i pokloni se Saul Gospodu.
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.”
Potom reèe Samuilo: dovedite mi Agaga cara Amalièkoga. I doðe k njemu Agag veseo, jer govoraše Agag: zaista, prošla je gorèina smrtna.
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.
Ali Samuilo reèe: kako je tvoj maè uèinio te su žene ostale bez djece, tako æe ostati bez djece tvoja majka meðu ženama. I isijeèe Samuilo Agaga pred Gospodom u Galgalu.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
Potom otide Samuilo u Ramu, a Saul otide kuæi svojoj u Gavaju Saulovu.
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.
I Samuilo više ne vidje Saula do svoje smrti, i plakaše Samuilo za Saulom, što se Gospod pokaja što je postavio Saula carem nad Izrailjem.
