1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel told Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king of his people Israel. So now pay attention to what the Lord has to say.
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 This is what the Lord Almighty says: I observed what the Amalekites did to Israel when they ambushed them on their way from Egypt.
El ac fah kai mwet Amalek ke sripen mwet matu lalos tuh aklokoalokye mwet Israel ke elos tuku liki facl Egypt.
3 Go and attack the Amalekites and exterminate all of them. Don't spare anyone, but kill every man, woman, child, and baby; every ox, sheep, camel, and donkey.”
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 Saul called up his army at Telem. There were 200,000 Israelite infantry and 10,000 men from 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 Saul advanced on the town of Amalek and set up 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 Saul sent a message to warn the Kenites, “Move out of the area and leave the Amalekites so that I don't destroy you with them, because you showed kindness to all the people of Israel on their way from Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away and left 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 Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as far as Shur, to the east of Egypt.
Saul el kutangla mwet Amalek. El mweunelos, mutawauk in acn Havilah fahla nu Shur, su oan kutulap in acn Egypt.
8 He captured Agag, king of Amalek, alive, but exterminated all the people by the sword.
El sruokilya Agag, tokosra lun mwet Amalek, ke el srakna moul, ac el uniya mwet nukewa sayal.
9 Saul and his army spared Agag, together with the best sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and everything else that was any good. They didn't want to destroy those, but they completely destroyed all that was unwanted and worthless.
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 The Lord sent a message to Samuel, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel,
11 “I'm sorry I made Saul king, for he has given up following me and hasn't done as I ordered.” Samuel was upset, and he cried out to the Lord all through the 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 Samuel got up early in the morning and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul's gone to Carmel. There he's even erected a monument to honor himself, and now he's left 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 When Samuel caught up with him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have done what the Lord ordered.”
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 “So what's this bleating of sheep my ears are picking up? What's this lowing of cattle that I'm hearing?” Samuel asked.
Na Samuel el siyuk, “Na efu nga ku lohng pusren cow ac pusren sheep?”
15 “The army brought them from the Amalekites,” Saul replied. “They spared the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we completely destroyed the rest.”
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 “Oh, be quiet!” Samuel told Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord told me last night.” “Tell me what he said,” Saul replied.
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 “Once you didn't use to think much of yourself, but haven't you become the leader of the tribes of Israel?” Samuel asked. “The Lord anointed you king of 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 Then he sent you out to do something, telling you, ‘Go and exterminate those sinners, the Amalekites. Attack them until they're all destroyed.’
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 didn't you do what the Lord ordered? Why did you swoop down on the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord's sight?”
Na efu ku kom tia aksol? Efu kom ku oasroasr in eis ma wap ac oru ma in aktoasrye LEUM GOD?”
20 “But I did do what the Lord ordered!” Saul replied. “I went and did what the Lord sent me to do. I brought back Agag, king of Amalek, and completely 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 The army took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was consecrated to God, to sacrifice them to the Lord your 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 “Does the Lord prefer burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obedience to what he says?” Samuel asked. “Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Paying attention is more important than offering 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 Rebellion is as bad as witchcraft, and arrogance is as bad as the sin of idolatry. Because you have rejected the Lord's commands, he has rejected you as 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 “I have sinned,” Saul confessed to Samuel. “I disobeyed the Lord's orders and your instructions, because I was afraid of the people and followed what they said.
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 So please forgive my sin and come back with me, so I can worship the Lord.”
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 But Samuel told him, “I'm not going back with you. You have rejected the Lord's orders, and the Lord has rejected you as king of 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 As Samuel turned away to leave, Saul grabbed hold of the hem of his robe, and it ripped.
Ke Samuel el forla in folok, Saul el sruokya nuknuk lal Samuel ah twe mihsalik.
28 Samuel said to him, “The Lord has ripped the kingdom of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor—someone who is better than you!
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 In addition, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind!”
Tuh God Fulat lun Israel El tia kikiap ku ekyek nunak lal. El tia mwet — El tia ikikil nunak lal uh.”
30 “Yes, 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.”
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 went back with Saul after all, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
Ouinge Samuel el welul folokla, ac Saul el alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag, king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him confidently, for he thought, “The threat of death of being killed must have passed.”
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 But Samuel said, “In the same way that your sword has made women childless, so too your mother will be childless among women.” Samuel cut Agag to pieces before the Lord at 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 Samuel left for Ramah, and Saul went home to Gibeah of Saul.
Na Samuel el som nu Ramah, ac Tokosra Saul el folok nu yen sel in acn Gibeah.
35 Until the day of his death, Samuel never visited Saul again. Samuel mourned over Saul, and the Lord regretted he had made Saul the king of 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.
