1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel also said to Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore listen you to the voice of the words of the LORD.
Alò, Samuel te di a Saül: “SENYÈ a te voye mwen pou onksyone ou wa sou pèp Li a, sou Israël. Pou sa, koute pawòl a SENYÈ a.
2 Thus says the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Mwen va pini Amalek pou sa li te fè Israël la, jan li te opoze li nan chemen an pandan li t ap vini sòti an Égypte la.
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.
Alò, ale frape Amalek e detwi tout sa li genyen. Pa fè li gras, men mete a lanmò ni gason, ni fanm, ni timoun ni tibebe, bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.’”
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Epi Saül te pase lòd rasanble pèp la e te konte yo nan Thelaïm, de-san-mil sòlda apye yo, di-mil mesye Juda yo.
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
Saül te rive kote vil Amalek yo, e li te òganize yon anbiskad nan vale a.
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Saül te di a Kenyen yo: “Ale, sòti kite Amalekit yo pou m pa detwi nou ansanm avèk yo; paske nou te montre favè nou anvè tout fis Israël yo lè yo te monte soti an Égypte.” Konsa, Kenyen yo te sòti nan mitan Amalekit yo.
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until you come to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
Konsa, Saül te bat Amalekit yo soti nan Havila pou rive Schur, ki te bò lès a Égypte la.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Li te kaptire vivan Agag, wa a Amalekit yo e te detwi nèt tout pèp la avèk lam nepe.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatted calves, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
Men Saül avèk pèp la te lese Agag viv ansanm avèk pi bèl nan mouton yo, bèf yo, bèt gra yo, jenn mouton yo, tout sa ki te bon, e li pa t dakò pou detwi yo nèt. Men tout sa ki te meprize e san valè, yo te vin detwi nèt.
10 Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Samuel e te di:
11 It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night.
“Mwen regrèt ke M te fè Saül wa, paske li te vire fè bak nan swiv Mwen, e li pa t akonpli lòd Mwen yo.” Konsa, Samuel te vin twouble e li te kriye fò a SENYÈ a pandan tout nwit lan.
12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
Samuel te leve granmmaten pou rankontre Saül. Yo te pale a Samuel, e te di: “Saül te vini nan Carmel e vwala, li te fè monte yon moniman pou tèt li, e li te vire kontinye desann vè Guilgal.”
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed be you of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
Samuel te vini kote Saül, e Saül te di li: “Beni se ou menm pa SENYÈ a! Mwen te akonpli lòd SENYÈ a.”
14 And Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
Men Samuel te di li: “Men ki mouton ke m tande k ap blete nan zòrèy mwen la a e ki rèl a bèf ke m tande la a?”
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 to the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Saül te di: “Yo te mennen yo soti nan Amalekit yo, paske pèp la te kite pi bèl nan mouton avèk bèf yo pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la. Men tout rès nou te genyen an nou te detwi l nèt.”
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
Alò, Samuel te di: “Tann e kite mwen menm di ou sa ke SENYÈ a te di mwen yèswa.” Epi li te di li: “Pale”!
17 And Samuel said, When you were little in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed you king over Israel?
Samuel te di: “Èske se pa vrè, ke malgre ou te piti nan pwòp zye pa ou, ke ou te devni gran chèf a tribi Israël yo?
18 And the LORD sent you on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
Epi ke SENYÈ a te voye ou fè yon misyon e te di: ‘Ale detwi pechè yo nèt; Amalekit yo, e batay kont yo jiskaske yo fin disparèt.’
19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but did fly on the spoil, and did evil in the sight of the LORD?
Pou sa, poukisa ou pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a; men ou te kouri sou piyaj la, e te fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ a?”
20 And Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed 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.
Alò Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te obeyi vwa SENYÈ a e te fè misyon nan sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen an e te mennen retounen Agag, wa Amalek la, e mwen te detwi nèt tout Amalekit yo.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal.
Men pèp la te pran nan piyaj mouton avèk bèf yo, pi bèl nan sa ki te anba ve pou destriksyon an, pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a nan Guilgal.”
22 And Samuel said, Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
Samuel te di: “Èske SENYÈ a twouve menm fòs plezi nan ofrann brile yo avèk sakrifis yo ke li jwenn nan obeyi vwa SENYÈ a? Veye byen, obeyisans pi bon ke sakrifis e koute pase grès a belye yo.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.
Paske rebelyon se tankou peche divinasyon e refize swiv lòd se tankou inikite avèk idolatri. Akoz ou te refize pawòl SENYÈ a, Li osi te gentan refize ou kòm wa.”
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and your words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Alò, Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te peche; Mwen te vrèman transgrese kòmand SENYÈ a e pawòl a ou menm yo; paske mwen te pè pèp la e mwen te koute vwa pa yo.
25 Now therefore, I pray you, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
Alò, pou sa, souple, padone peche mwen e retounen avè m pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a.”
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with you: for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.
Men Samuel te di a Saül: “Mwen p ap retounen avè w; paske ou te rejte pawòl a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te gentan rejte ou kòm wa sou Israël.”
27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold on the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Lè Samuel te vire pou l sòti, Saül te sezi bò manto li, e li te vin chire.
28 And Samuel said to him, The LORD has rent the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, that is better than you.
Epi Samuel te di li: “SENYÈ a te dechire wayòm ou an, e Li te bay li a vwazen ou an, ki pi bon pase ou.
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
Anplis, Glwa Israël La p ap manti, ni chanje tèt Li. Paske Li pa yon nonm pou Li ta chanje tèt Li.”
30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray you, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD your God.
Alò li te di: “Mwen te peche; souple, onore mwen koulye a devan ansyen a pèp mwen yo ak devan Israël e retounen avè m, pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.”
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Konsa, Samuel te swiv Saül retounen e Saül te adore SENYÈ a.
32 Then said Samuel, Bring you here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
Alò, Samuel te di: “Mennen ban m Agag, wa Amalekit yo.” Epi Agag te vin kote li avèk kè kontan. Akoz Agag t ap di: “Asireman gou anmè lanmò a gen tan pase.”
33 And Samuel said, As the sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
Men Samuel te di: “Menm jan ke nepe ou te fè fanm yo vin manke pitit; konsa, manman ou va vin manke pitit pami fanm yo.” Epi Samuel te koupe Agag an mòso devan SENYÈ a nan Guilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Samuel te ale Rama; men Saül te monte vè lakay li nan Guibea ki pou li.
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Samuel pa t wè Saül ankò jis jou li te mouri an. Paske Samuel te gen anpil tristès akoz Saül. Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè Saül wa sou Israël.
