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.
Hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Nirahe’ Iehovà iraho hañory azo ho mpanjaka’ ondati’e Israeleo; aa le janjiño ty feon-tsara’ Iehovà.
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.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Tiahiko i nanoe’ i Amalek’ am’ Israeley, ie niatreatre aze amy lalañey te niakats’ i Mitsraime añe.
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.'
Aa le akia lafao t’i Amaleke, naho mongoro o fanaña’e iabio naho ko anga’o sehanga’e; zamano ze atao lahilahy naho ampela, ty anak’ ajaja ndra te minono, ty añombe naho añondry, ty rameva vaho ty borìke.
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Kinoi’ i Saole amy zao ondatio vaho niahe’e e Telaime ao, roe-hetse ty am-pandia le nitovoñe rai-ale boake Iehoda.
5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Niheo mb’an-drova’ i Amaleke mb’eo t’i Saole, naho niampitse am-bavatane ao.
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.
Vaho hoe t’i Saole amo nte-Keneo: Akia, mizotsoa, hisitake o nte-Amalekeo, tsy mone ho mongoreko mindre ama’e, amy te nisohe’ areo o ana’ Israele niavotse i Mitsraimeo. Aa le nisitahe’ o nte-Keneo o nte-Amalekeo;
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of Egypt.
vaho linafa’ i Saole o nte-Amalekeo, boake Kavilà am-piranga’o mb’e Sorey tandrife i Mitsraime.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Rinambe’e veloñe ty Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, fa fonga zinama’e an-dela-pibara ondatio.
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.
Nenga’ i Saole naho ondati’eo t’i Agage, naho ty soa amo mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo naho o vositseo vaho o vik’añondrio, toe ze raha soa iaby, ie tsy nete nimongoreñe; o sirikaeñeo naho o tsy vente’eo ty nimongore’ iareo.
10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying:
Aa le niheo amy Samoele ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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.
Aneñenako t’ie nampijadoñe i Saole ho mpanjaka; fa niambohoa’e, tsy norihe’e naho tsy nanoe’e o nandiliakoo. Nioremèñe amy zao t’i Samoele; le nirovetse amy Iehovà avao amy haleñey.
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.'
Ie nitroatse maraindray hanalaka amy Saole; le teo ty nisaontsy amy Samoele ty hoe: Nivotrake e Karmele t’i Saole, le nioniñe te nampijadoñe’e eo ty faniahiañe ty vata’e, le nienga boak’ao re nizotso mb’e Gilgale mb’eo.
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.'
Niheo mb’ amy Saole mb’eo t’i Samoele; le hoe t’i Saole ama’e: Tahie’ Iehovà irehe; fa nanoeko ty linili’ Iehovà.
14 And Samuel said: 'What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?'
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aa ino arè o fibabababan’ añondry an-tsofikoo naho ty firohafa’ o añombe tsanoñeko henaneoo?
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.'
Le hoe t’i Saole: nendese’ iareo boak’ amo nte Amalekeo, nasisa’ ondatio ty soa amo añondrio naho amo añombeo hisoroña’ iareo am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; vata’e finongo’ay ty ila’e.
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.'
Le hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Eo hey, fa ho volañeko ama’o ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amako aniankale. Le hoe re ama’e, Misaontsia.
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;
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Ndra te kede am-pihaino’o irehe, tsy lohà amo fifokoa’ Israeleo hao? ihe noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israeley?
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.
Nafanto’ Iehovà ama’o ty lia’o, ami’ ty hoe: Akia, zamano iaby o nte-Amaleke mpanan-kakeoo, naho ialio ampara’ te mongotse.
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?'
Aa vaho akore te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, te mone niambotraha’o i nikopaheñey naho nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà?
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.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele: Toe nihaoñeko ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, kanao fa nandenàko i nañiraha’ Iehovà ahiy, naho naseseko atoy t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, vaho nimongoreko o nte-Amalekeo.
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.'
Fe nangala’ ondatio boak’ amy kinopakey ty añondry, naho añombe, ty soa amo raha nafatseo hisoroñañe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o e Gilgale.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Tea’ Iehovà mandikoatse ty fañaoñañe i fiarañanaña’ Iehovày hao o enga oroañeo naho o soroñeo? Toe zoke’ ty soroñe ty fañorihañe naho lombolombo’ ty solin’ añondrilahy ty fañaoñañe.
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.'
Fa hakeom-pamorehañe ty fiola naho hatsivokarañe mitrao-pahasive ty fanjeharañe. Kanao napo’o ty tsara’ Iehovà le naforintse’e ka ty maha-mpanjaka azo.
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.
Aa hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele, toe aman-kakeo iraho, nandilatse amy lili’ Iehovày naho amo saontsi’oo; toe nihembañako ondatio, naho nihaoñeko o feo’eo.
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD.'
Aa ehe iheveo i tahikoy vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà.
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.'
Fa hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Tsy himpoliako; fa nado’o ty tsara’ Iehovà naho nado’ Iehovà irehe tsy ho mpanjaka’ Israele ka!
27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent.
Nitolike mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele hañavelo, fe nivontitire’e i saro’ey vaho niriatse.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Fa rinia’ Iehovà ama’o anindroany ty fifeheañe Israele vaho natolo’e ami’ty mpiama’o, ty soa te ama’o
29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor repent; for He is not a man, that He should repent.'
vaho tsy mandañitse, tsy maneñeñe ty Enge’ Israele, ie tsy ondaty hikinañe.
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.'
Le hoe re: Aman-kakeo iraho; fe miambane ama’o, miasia ahy añatrefa’ o roandria’ ondatikoo naho aolo’ Israele vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy.
31 So Samuel returned after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Aa le niharo fibalik’ amy Saole t’i Samoele vaho nitalaho am’ Iehovà t’i Saole.
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.'
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aseseo mb’etoa t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo. Aa le nigolengole mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Agage, fa hoe ty natao’ i Agage: Toe fa añe ty hafairan-kavilasy.
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.
Fe hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Manahake ty tsy nañengà’ i fibara’oy ho aman’ anake o rakembao ty hanoañe tsy ho aman’ anake ka i rene’o añivo’ o rakembao. Vaho tinoritori’ i Samoele t’i Agage añatrefa’ Iehovà e Gilgale.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeath-shaul.
Nimpoly mb’e Ramà mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele; vaho nionjo mb’ añ’anjomba’e e Gibeate-Saole mb’eo t’i Saole.
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.
Le lia’e tsy nitilike i Saole ka t’i Samoele ampara’ ty andro nihomaha’e; nandala i Saole t’i Samoele vaho niselekaiña’ Iehovà te nanoe’e Mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Saole.
