1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen 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 will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of 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 strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
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 Saul summoned the people, 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 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Saül te rive kote vil Amalek yo, e li te òganize yon anbiskad nan vale a.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
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 Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
Konsa, Saül te bat Amalekit yo soti nan Havila pou rive Schur, ki te bò lès a Égypte la.
8 He took Agag the king of Amalek 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 the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
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 the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Samuel e te di:
11 "It grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; 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 Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to the LORD, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
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, "You are blessed by 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 Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
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, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
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 last night." 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 Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? 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 to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
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 took the spoils, and did that which was 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 Saul said to Samuel, "But 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 Amalek.
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 cattle, the chief of the devoted things, 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 Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Look, 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 like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of 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 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, please 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 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 As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
Lè Samuel te vire pou l sòti, Saül te sezi bò manto li, e li te vin chire.
28 Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who 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 Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
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 please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back 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 went back with Saul; and he worshiped the LORD.
Konsa, Samuel te swiv Saül retounen e Saül te adore SENYÈ a.
32 Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
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 Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut 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 in Gibeah.
Samuel te ale Rama; men Saül te monte vè lakay li nan Guibea ki pou li.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And the LORD grieved 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.
