< 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.
Samyèl di Sayil: -Se mwen menm Seyè a te voye pou vide lwil sou tèt ou pou ou te ka wa sou pèp Izrayèl la. Koulye a, koute pawòl Seyè 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.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Li pral pini moun Amalèk yo paske yo te kenbe tèt ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap moute soti peyi Lejip.
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.'"
Koulye a, leve al atake moun Amalèk yo. W'a pran tou sa ki pou yo, w'a ofri yo bay Seyè a. Ou p'ap gen pitye pou pesonn lakay yo: N'a touye fanm kou gason, timoun ak ti bebe nan tete, ata 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.
Sayil rele tout sòlda li yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon lavil Telayim. Te gen desanmil (200.000) sòlda apye ki te moun Izrayèl ak dimil (10.000) sòlda ki te moun Jida.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Lèfini, li desann toupre yonn nan lavil moun Amalèk yo. L' al kache kò li nan yon ravin chèch.
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.
Apre sa, li voye avèti moun Kayen yo: -Wete kò nou! Kite moun Amalèk yo pou kont yo, pou nou pa touye nou ansanm ak yo. Paske nou menm moun Kayen, nou te aji byen ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap tounen soti nan peyi Lejip la. Se konsa moun Kayen yo pati, yo wete kò yo nan mitan moun Amalèk yo.
7 Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
Sayil bat moun Amalèk yo depi lavil Avila rive Chou sou bò solèy leve peyi Lejip.
8 He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Li pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, tou vivan, men li touye tout rès moun yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
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 Sayil ak sòlda li yo pa t' touye Agag. Yo pa t' touye pi bèl mouton yo ni pi bèl bèf yo, ni yo pa t' touye ankenn bèt ki te bon. Men, yo touye tout bèt ki te lèd, tout bèt ki te mèg tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Samyèl, li di l' konsa:
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 règrèt mwen te fè Sayil wa. Li vire do ban mwen. Li pa fè sa mwen ba li lòd fè. Samyèl pa t' kontan, li fè tout nwit lan ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.
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.
Nan denmen maten, bonè bonè, li soti al chache Sayil. Yo vin di Samyèl Sayil t' ale lavil Kamèl, kote li fè bati yon moniman pou tèt li, apre sa, li tounen isit, li desann lavil Gilgal.
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."
Samyèl al jwenn Sayil. Sayil vin di l' bonjou: -Se pou Seyè a beni ou! Mwen fè tou sa li te ban m' lòd fè.
14 Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
Samyèl mande l': -Ki tout bri mouton ak bèf m'ap tande nan zòrèy mwen konsa?
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."
Sayil reponn li: -Anhan! Se bèt sòlda mwen yo pran kay moun Amalèk yo. Yo pran pi bèl mouton yo ak pi bèl bèf yo, yo pa touye yo pou yo te ka ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la. Men, yo touye tout rès yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
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."
Samyèl di l' konsa: -Pe bouch ou, tande! Kite m' di ou sa Seyè a te vin di m' lannwit lan. Sayil di li: -Pale non!
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;
Samyèl di li: -Atout yon lè ou te rekonèt ou pa t' anyen, jòdi a se pa ou menm ki chèf tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la? Se pa Seyè a menm ki te chwazi ou pou wa pèp Izrayèl la?
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.'
Li voye ou ale avèk lòd espre pou ou te touye tout moun Amalèk yo, bann moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Se pou ou te goumen ak yo jouk ou te fin touye yo tout.
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?"
Poukisa ou pa koute sa Seyè a te di ou? Poukisa ou lage kò ou sou sa ou te pran nan men lènmi ou yo, epi ou fè sa ki pa fè Seyè a plezi.
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.
Sayil reponn Samyèl li di li: -Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te di m' fè! Mwen mache dapre lòd li. Mwen pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, mwen tounen avè l'. Mwen touye tout rès moun Amalèk yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
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 sòlda mwen yo pa t' touye bèl mouton ak pi bèl bèf yo te jwenn nan sa yo te pran lakay lènmi sa yo. Yo pote yo isit la, lavil Gilgal, pou yo te ka ofri yo sou lotèl la bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
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.
Lè sa a, Samyèl di l' konsa: -Dapre ou, kisa Seyè a pito: yon moun k'ap ofri bèt pou boule nan dife, k'ap fè tout kalite ofrann bèt pou li, osinon yon moun k'ap fè sa li di l' fè a? Konn sa tande! Pito yon moun fè sa Seyè a di l' fè a pase pou l' touye bèt ofri pou Bondye. Pito yon moun soumèt devan Bondye pase pou l' ofri bèl belye chatre pou Seyè a.
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."
Dezobeyi Bondye nan sa l' mande ou fè a se menm bagay ak fè maji. Fè tèt di ak Bondye se menm bagay ak sèvi zidòl. Enben, ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou. Li pa gen anyen pou l' wè avè ou ankò!
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.
Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, mwen pa fè sa Seyè a te ban m' lòd fè. Mwen pa t' koute pawòl ou te di m' lan. Se pè mwen te pè mesye m' yo kifè m' fè sa yo te vle fè a.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD."
Men koulye a, tanpri, padonnen peche m' lan. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka sèvi Seyè 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."
Samyèl di li: -Non, mwen p'ap tounen avè ou. Paske ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou.
27 As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
Samyèl fè sa li vire pou l' ale, Sayil kenbe rad li, rad la 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.
Samyèl di li: -Seyè a rache gouvènman peyi Izrayèl la nan men ou jòdi a. Li rale l' nan men ou. Li pral renmèt li bay yon lòt moun 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."
Bondye ki wa pèp Izrayèl la pa konn manti, ni li pa konn chanje lide. Se pa moun li ye. Li p'ap chanje pawòl.
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."
Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, se vre! Men, pa fè m' wont devan tout chèf pèp mwen an, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped the LORD.
Se konsa Samyèl tounen avèk Sayil, epi Sayil fè sèvis pou Seyè 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."
Apre sa, Samyèl di konsa: -Mennen Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, ban mwen. Agag vin jwenn li. Li t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ala bagay di, mezanmi, se lanmò!
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.
Samyèl di li: -Avèk nepe ou, ou te fè anpil manman pèdi pitit yo. Koulye a, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, manman ou pral pèdi pitit pa li tou. Epi li koupe Agag an moso la devan lotèl Seyè a lavil Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah.
Lèfini, Samyèl desann lavil Rama. Sayil menm moute al lakay li lavil Gibeya.
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.
Depi lè sa a, Samyèl pa janm wè wa Sayil ankò jouk li mouri. Men, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou Sayil. Seyè a menm te règrèt deske li te fè Sayil wa pèp Izrayèl la.
