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.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of 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 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Saulu sì lọ sí ìlú Amaleki ó sì gọ dè wọ́n ní àfonífojì kan.
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.
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 And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of Egypt.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu kọlu àwọn Amaleki láti Hafila dé Ṣuri, tí ó fi dé ìlà-oòrùn Ejibiti.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Ó sì mú Agagi ọba Amaleki láààyè, ó sì fi idà rẹ̀ kọlù gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
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 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying:
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Samuẹli wá pé,
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.
“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 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.'
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 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him: 'Blessed be thou of the LORD; I have performed the commandment of the LORD.'
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 And Samuel said: 'What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?'
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 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.'
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 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.'
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 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;
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 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.
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 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?'
Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi gbọ́ ti Olúwa? Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi sáré sí ìkógun tí o sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa?”
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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may 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 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.'
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 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent.
Bí Samuẹli sì ti fẹ́ yípadà láti lọ, Saulu sì di ẹ̀wù ìlekè rẹ̀ mú, ó sì fàya;
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.
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 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor repent; for He is not a man, that He should repent.'
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 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.'
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 returned after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli sì yípadà pẹ̀lú Saulu, Saulu sì sin Olúwa.
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.'
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 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.
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 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeath-shaul.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli lọ sí Rama, Saulu sì gòkè lọ sí ilé e rẹ̀ ní Gibeah tí Saulu.
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.
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.
