< 1 Samuel 15 >
1 And Samuel said unto Saul: 'The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over His people, over Israel; now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
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 the LORD of hosts: I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of 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 utterly destroy 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 Amalek, and lay in wait 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 unto the Kenites: 'Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt.' So 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 the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of 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 the Amalekites 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 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, even the young of the second birth, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but every thing that was of no account and feeble, 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 Then came the word of the LORD unto 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 back from following Me, and hath not performed My commandments.' And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD 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 is setting him up a monument, and is gone 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 unto him: 'Blessed be thou of the LORD; I have performed the commandment of the LORD.'
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 meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the 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; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD 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 Then Samuel said unto Saul: 'Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night.' And he said unto 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: 'Though thou be little in thine own sight, art thou not head of the tribes of Israel? And the LORD 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 the LORD sent thee on a journey, 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 Wherefore then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the LORD?'
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 unto Samuel: 'Yea, I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD 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 chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto the LORD 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: 'Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearkening to the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken 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 witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, 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 unto Samuel: 'I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words; because 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 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may 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 And Samuel said unto Saul: 'I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath 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 about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent.
Ke Samuel el forla in folok, Saul el sruokya nuknuk lal Samuel ah twe mihsalik.
28 And Samuel said unto him: 'The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that 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 Glory 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 Then he said: 'I have sinned; yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD 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 returned after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Ouinge Samuel el welul folokla, ac Saul el alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
32 Then said Samuel: 'Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.' And Agag came unto him in chains. And Agag said: 'Surely the bitterness of death is at hand.'
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 hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD 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 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeath-shaul.
Na Samuel el som nu Ramah, ac Tokosra Saul el folok nu yen sel in acn Gibeah.
35 And Samuel never beheld Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul; and the LORD 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.
