1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Nga pa mwet se LEUM GOD el supwama in mosrwekomla tuh kom in tokosra lun mwet Israel. Inge, porongo ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk.
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I have considered what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
El ac fah kai mwet Amalek ke sripen mwet matu lalos tuh aklokoalokye mwet Israel ke elos tuku liki facl Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and destroy utterly all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Fahla ac mweuni mwet Amalek ac kunausla ma lalos nukewa. Nikmet filiya kutena ma. Uniya mwet nukewa: mukul, mutan, tulik srisrik, tulik fusr, oayapa cow, sheep, camel, ac donkey.”
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Ouinge Saul el pangoneni mwet mweun lal ac oakalosla in acn Telem. Oasr mukul luofoko tausin sin mwet Israel ac mukul singoul tausin sin mwet Judah.
5 And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley.
Na Saul ac mwet lal som nu ke siti lun mwet Amalek ac wikwik soano ke infacl paola soko.
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
El supwala kas in sensenkakin mwet Ken, mweyen mwet matu lalos tuh kulang nu sin mwet Israel ke elos tuku liki facl Egypt. El sapkin ouinge, “Kowos in som liki inmasrlon mwet Amalek, tuh nga in tia unikowosi ke nga ac mweuni mwet Amalek.” Ouinge, mwet Ken elos som liki inmasrlon mwet Amalek.
7 And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah as thou comest to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt.
Saul el kutangla mwet Amalek. El mweunelos, mutawauk in acn Havilah fahla nu Shur, su oan kutulap in acn Egypt.
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
El sruokilya Agag, tokosra lun mwet Amalek, ke el srakna moul, ac el uniya mwet nukewa sayal.
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and oxen, and beasts of the second bearing, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction; but everything that was mean and weak, that they destroyed utterly.
Tusruktu Saul ac mwet lal elos tiana unilya Tokosra Agag. Elos tia pac uniya sheep ac cow wowo, oayapa cow fusr ac sheep fusr, ku kutena ma wo saya. Elos kunausla ma wangin sripa ac ma tia ku in sifil orekmakinyuk.
10 And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel,
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned away from following me, and hath not fulfilled my words. And Samuel was much grieved; and he cried to Jehovah all night.
“Nga auli lah nga tuh oru Saul el tokosra. El forla likiyu ac el tia akos ma sap luk.” Samuel el arulana kasrkusrak, ac el kwafe nu sin LEUM GOD ke fong nufon se.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and has turned about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
Toangna in len tok ah el som sokol Saul. El lohng mu Saul el som nu Carmel, acn se ma el tuh tulokunak sie mwe esmakin kacl sifacna, na tok el som nu Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah.
Samuel el utyak nu yorol Saul, ac Saul el paingul ac fahk, “Samuel, LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom! Nga akos na ma sap lun LEUM GOD.”
14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?
Na Samuel el siyuk, “Na efu nga ku lohng pusren cow ac pusren sheep?”
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Saul el topuk ac fahk, “Ma mwet luk elos use yurin mwet Amalek me. Elos srela sheep wowo ac cow wowo tuh elos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lom, ac funu ma nukewa saya, kut kunausla nufon.”
16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, that I may tell thee what Jehovah has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
Na Samuel el fahk, “Kolya ngan fahk nu sum ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik fong.” Ac Saul el fahk, “Fahkma nu sik.”
17 And Samuel said, Was it not when thou wast little in thine eyes that thou [becamest] the head of the tribes of Israel, and Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel?
Samuel el fahk, “Kom finne pusisel in nunak lom sifacna, tusruktu kom pa mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel. LEUM GOD El mosrwekomla tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel,
18 And Jehovah sent thee on a way and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
ac el supwekomla ac sapkin nu sum tuh kom in kunausla mwet koluk, mwet Amalek. El tuh fahk nu sum kom in mweunelos nwe ke na kom onelosla nufon.
19 Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, but didst fall upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Jehovah?
Na efu ku kom tia aksol? Efu kom ku oasroasr in eis ma wap ac oru ma in aktoasrye LEUM GOD?”
20 And Saul said to Samuel, I have indeed hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Ac Saul el fahk, “Nga akos LEUM GOD. Nga som oana El supweyula, ac nga usalu Tokosra Agag ac onela mwet Amalek nufon.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.
Tusruktu mwet luk elos tia onela sheep ac cow wowo ma elos sruokya, a elos use ma inge nu Gilgal in orek mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lom.”
22 And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams.
Na Samuel el fahk, “Pia kac ma God El lungse uh — akosten, ku mwe sang ac mwe kisa? Liye, akos wo liki mwe kisa, ac porongo wo liki sheep fact.
23 For rebellion is [as] the sin of divination, And selfwill is [as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
Orekma in lain God, koluk oana inutnut; ac inse fulat koluk oana alu nu ke ma sruloala. Ke sripen kom lain ma sap lun LEUM GOD, El oayapa lain kom, ac sisla wal in tokosra liki kom.”
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words; for I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.
Ac Saul el fahk, “Pwaye, nga orekma koluk. Nga tia akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, oayapa kas lom. Nga sangeng sin mwet luk inge ac nga wi na lungse lalos.
25 And now, I pray thee, forgive my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
Tusruktu inge, nga kwafe sum, nunak munas nu sik ke ma koluk luk, ac wiyu folokla, tuh nga fah ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD.”
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn again with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Samuel el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac fah tia wi kom folok. Kom tuh pilesru ma sap lun LEUM GOD, na El oayapa pilesrekom ac siskomla tuh kom in tia tokosra lun mwet Israel.”
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Ke Samuel el forla in folok, Saul el sruokya nuknuk lal Samuel ah twe mihsalik.
28 Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou.
Na Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “LEUM GOD El seya tokosrai lun Israel liki kom misenge, ac sang nu sin sie mwet su wo liki kom.
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
Tuh God Fulat lun Israel El tia kikiap ku ekyek nunak lal. El tia mwet — El tia ikikil nunak lal uh.”
30 And he said, I have sinned; honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.
Saul el fahk, “Pwaye nga orekma koluk, tusruktu nga siyuk kom in nunak munas sunakinyu ye mutun mwet kol lun mwet luk ac mwet Israel nukewa. Wiyu folok tuh nga fah ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lom.”
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
Ouinge Samuel el welul folokla, ac Saul el alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
32 And Samuel said, Bring ye near to me Agag the king of Amalek. And Agag came to him gaily. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
Samuel el fahk, “Usalu Tokosra Agag nu yuruk.” Na Tokosra Agag el fahsr nu yorol ac el rarrar ke sangeng. In nunak lal sifacna el mu, “Pwaye lah ma na mwen se pa misa uh!”
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless above women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Oana ke cutlass nutum an oru nina puspis in wanginla tulik natu, ouinge nina kiom sifacna ac fah wanginla pac tulik natul.” Ac Samuel el pakpakilya Tokosra Agag nu ke ip pukanten ye mutun loang uh in Gilgal.
34 And Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Na Samuel el som nu Ramah, ac Tokosra Saul el folok nu yen sel in acn Gibeah.
35 And Samuel saw Saul no more until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned over Saul; and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
In lusenna moul lal Samuel tukun pacl se ingela, el tia sifil liyal Tokosra Saul, tusruktu el arulana asor kacl. LEUM GOD El auli lah El tuh oru Saul el tokosra fin Israel.
