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.
Samuẹli wí fún Saulu pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa rán láti fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ Israẹli; fetísílẹ̀ láti gbọ́ iṣẹ́ tí Olúwa rán mi sí ọ́.
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.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Èmi yóò jẹ àwọn Amaleki ní yà fún ohun tí wọ́n ti ṣe sí Israẹli nígbà tí wọn dè wọn lọ́nà nígbà tí wọn ń bọ̀ láti Ejibiti.
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.”
Lọ nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọlu Amaleki, kí o sì pa gbogbo ohun tí ó bá jẹ́ tiwọn ní à parun. Má ṣe dá wọn sí, pa ọkùnrin àti obìnrin wọn, ọmọ kékeré àti ọmọ ọmú, màlúù àti àgùntàn, ìbákasẹ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn.’”
4 Saul called up his army at Telem. There were 200,000 Israelite infantry and 10,000 men from Judah.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Saulu kó àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ó sì ka iye wọn ní Talaemu, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ogún ọ̀kẹ́ àwọn ológun ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda.
5 Saul advanced on the town of Amalek and set up an ambush in the valley.
Saulu sì lọ sí ìlú Amaleki ó sì gọ dè wọ́n ní àfonífojì kan.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ará Keni pé, “Ẹ lọ, kúrò ní Amaleki kí èmi má ba à run yín pẹ̀lú wọn; nítorí ẹ̀yin fi àánú hàn fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n gòkè ti Ejibiti wá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Kenaiti lọ kúrò láàrín àwọn Amaleki.
7 Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as far as Shur, to the east of Egypt.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu kọlu àwọn Amaleki láti Hafila dé Ṣuri, tí ó fi dé ìlà-oòrùn Ejibiti.
8 He captured Agag, king of Amalek, alive, but exterminated all the people by the sword.
Ó sì mú Agagi ọba Amaleki láààyè, ó sì fi idà rẹ̀ kọlù gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ dá Agagi sí àti èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú àgùntàn àti màlúù àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àbọ́pa àti gbogbo nǹkan tó dára. Wọ́n kò sì fẹ́ pa àwọn wọ̀nyí run pátápátá ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan tí kò dára tí kò sì níláárí ni wọ́n parun pátápátá.
10 The Lord sent a message to Samuel, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Samuẹli wá pé,
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.
“Èmi káàánú gidigidi pé mo fi Saulu jẹ ọba, nítorí pé ó ti yípadà kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, kò sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́.” Inú Samuẹli sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ó sì ké pe Olúwa ní gbogbo òru náà.
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.”
Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Samuẹli sì dìde láti lọ pàdé Saulu, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Saulu ti wá sí Karmeli. Ó ti kọ́ ibìkan fún ara rẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó sì ti yípadà, ó sì ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Gilgali.”
13 When Samuel caught up with him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have done what the Lord ordered.”
Nígbà tí Samuẹli sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, Saulu sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa bùkún fún ọ, mo ti ṣe ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Èwo wá ni igbe àgùntàn tí mo ń gbọ́ ní etí mi? Kí ni igbe màlúù ti mo ń gbọ́ yìí?”
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.”
Saulu sì dáhùn pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní o mú wọn láti Amaleki wá, wọ́n dá àwọn àgùntàn, àti màlúù tí ó dára jùlọ sí láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n a pa àwọn tókù run pátápátá.”
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.
Samuẹli sí wí fún Saulu pé, “Dákẹ́ ná, jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó sọ ohun tí Olúwa wí fún mi ní alẹ́ àná fún ọ.” Saulu sì wí pé, “Sọ fún mi.”
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.
Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ fi ìgbà kan kéré lójú ara rẹ, ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ha di olórí ẹ̀yà Israẹli? Olúwa fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli.
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.’
Olúwa sì rán ọ níṣẹ́ wí pé, ‘Lọ, kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú ará Amaleki run pátápátá; gbóguntì wọ́n títí ìwọ yóò fi run wọ́n.’
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?”
Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi gbọ́ ti Olúwa? Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi sáré sí ìkógun tí o sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa?”
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.
Saulu sì wí fún Samuẹli pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa, èmi sì ti lọ ní ọ̀nà tí Olúwa rán mi. Mo sì ti pa àwọn ará Amaleki run pátápátá, mo sì ti mú Agagi ọba wọn padà wá.
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.”
Àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti mú àgùntàn àti màlúù lára ìkógun èyí tí ó dára láti fi fún Olúwa láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ní Gilgali.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli dáhùn pé, “Olúwa ha ní inú dídùn sí ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ju kí a gba ohùn Olúwa gbọ́? Ìgbọ́ràn sàn ju ẹbọ lọ, ìfetísílẹ̀ sì sàn ju ọ̀rá àgbò lọ.
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.”
Nítorí pé ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ dàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àfọ̀ṣẹ, àti ìgbéraga bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìbọ̀rìṣà. Nítorí tí ìwọ ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, Òun sì ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún Samuẹli pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀. Mo ti rú òfin Olúwa àti ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀. Èmi sì bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi sì gba ohùn wọn gbọ́.
25 So please forgive my sin and come back with me, so I can worship the Lord.”
Mo bẹ̀ ọ́ nísinsin yìí, dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi jì, kí ó sì yípadà pẹ̀lú mi, kí èmi kí ó lè sin Olúwa.”
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!”
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò ní bá ọ padà. Ìwọ ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sílẹ̀, Olúwa sì ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli!”
27 As Samuel turned away to leave, Saul grabbed hold of the hem of his robe, and it ripped.
Bí Samuẹli sì ti fẹ́ yípadà láti lọ, Saulu sì di ẹ̀wù ìlekè rẹ̀ mú, ó sì fàya;
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!
Samuẹli sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa ti fa ìjọba Israẹli ya kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀ rẹ lónìí, ó sì ti fi fún aládùúgbò rẹ kan tí ó sàn jù ọ́ lọ.
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!”
Ẹni tí ó ń ṣe ògo Israẹli, kì í purọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà; nítorí kì í ṣe ènìyàn tí yóò yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà.”
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.”
Saulu sì wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n jọ̀wọ́ bu ọlá fún mi níwájú àwọn àgbàgbà ènìyàn mi, àti níwájú u Israẹli, yípadà pẹ̀lú mi, kí èmi kí ó lè tẹríba fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.”
31 So Samuel went back with Saul after all, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli sì yípadà pẹ̀lú Saulu, Saulu sì sin Olúwa.
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli wí pé, “Mú Agagi ọba àwọn ará Amaleki wá fún mi.” Agagi sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìgboyà pẹ̀lú èrò pé, “Nítòótọ́ ìkorò ikú ti kọjá.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Bí idà rẹ ti sọ àwọn obìnrin di aláìní ọmọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìyá rẹ yóò sì di aláìní ọmọ láàrín obìnrin.” Samuẹli sì pa Agagi níwájú Olúwa ni Gilgali.
34 Samuel left for Ramah, and Saul went home to Gibeah of Saul.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli lọ sí Rama, Saulu sì gòkè lọ sí ilé e rẹ̀ ní Gibeah tí Saulu.
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.
Samuẹli kò sì padà wá mọ́ láti wo Saulu títí ó fi di ọjọ́ ikú u rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli káàánú fún Saulu. Ó sì dun Olúwa pé ó fi Saulu jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli.
