1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel said to Saul, "YHWH sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words of YHWH.
Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, I tonoa mai ahau e Ihowa ki te whakawahi i a koe hei kingi mo tana iwi, mo Iharaira: na whakarongo mai ki te reo o nga kupu a Ihowa.
2 Thus says YHWH 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.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, E whakaaro ana ahau ki ta Amareke i mea ai ki a Iharaira, ki tana whanganga i a ia i te ara i tona haerenga mai i Ihipa.
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.'"
Na tikina, patua a Amareke, whakangaromia rawatia a ratou mea katoa, kaua hoki ratou e tohungia; engari whakamatea ngatahitia te tane me te wahine, te potiki me te mea ngote u, te kau me te hipi, te kamera me te kaihe.
4 Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Na ka huihuia te iwi e Haora, a taua ana e ia ki Teraimi, e rua rau mano, he hunga haere i raro, me nga tangata hoki o Hura, kotahi tekau mano.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Na ko te haerenga atu o Haora ki te pa o Amareke, a whakatakoto pehipehi ana i roto i te awaawa.
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.
I mea hoki a Haora ki nga Keni, Whakatika, mawehe atu, haere ki raro i roto i nga Amareki, kei huna tahitia koe e ahau me ratou; i puta hoki ta koutou atawhai ki nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira i to ratou haerenga mai i Ihipa. Heoi ka mawehe nga Ke ni i roto i a Amareki.
7 Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
Na tukitukia ana e Haora nga Amareki i Hawira atu a tae noa koe ki Huru, ki te ritenga atu o Ihipa.
8 He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Hopukia oratia ana hoki e ia a Akaka kingi o Amareke, ko te iwi katoa hoki i whakangaromia rawatia e ia ki te mata o te hoari.
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.
Otiia i tohungia e Haora ratou ko te iwi a Akaka, me nga mea papai o nga hipi, o nga kau, o nga mea momona hoki, me nga reme, me nga mea pai katoa, kihai hoki i aro ki te whakangaro i a ratou: engari nga mea e whakaparahakotia ana, e rukea ana, k o ena a ratou i whakangaro ai.
10 Then the word of YHWH came to Samuel, saying,
Katahi ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hamuera, ka mea,
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 YHWH all night.
Kua puta ke oku whakaaro i meinga ai e ahau a Haora hei kingi; kua hoki atu hoki ia i te whai i ahau, a kihai hoki i whakamana i aku kupu. Na ka oho te riri a Hamuera; a pau katoa taua po i a ia e tangi ana ki a Ihowa.
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 YHWH, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
Na ka maranga wawe a Hamuera i te ata ki te whakatau i a Haora; a ka korerotia ki a Hamuera, ka meatia, I te mai a Haora ki Karamere, na whakaturia ana e ia he tohu mana, a haere awhio atu ana, kua pahemo atu, kua riro ki raro, ki Kirikara.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by YHWH. I have performed the commandment of YHWH."
Na ka tae atu a Hamuera ki a Haora, a ka mea a Haora ki a ia, Kia manaakitia koe e Ihowa, kua whakamana e ahau te kupu a Ihowa.
14 Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
Na ka mea a Hamuera, He aha koia tenei tangi o nga hipi i roto nei i oku taringa, me te tangi o nga kau e rongo nei ahau?
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 YHWH your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
Ano ra ko Haora, He mea mau mai e ratou i nga Amareki: i tohungia hoki e te iwi nga mea papai o nga hipi, o nga kau, hei mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; a ko te toenga, whakangaromia iho e matou.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stay, and I will tell you what YHWH has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
Katahi ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, Kati, kia korerotia e ahau ki a koe ta Ihowa i mea ai ki ahau i tenei po. Ano ra ko tera, Korero.
17 Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? YHWH anointed you king over Israel;
A ka mea a Hamuera, I a koe e iti ana ki tou whakaaro, kihai ianei koe i meinga hei upoko mo nga iwi o Iharaira, i whakawahia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira?
18 and YHWH 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.'
Na ka tono a Ihowa i a koe kia haere, ka mea, Tikina, whakangaromia te hunga hara, nga Amareki, whawhai hoki ki a ratou a poto noa ratou.
19 Why then did you not obey the voice of YHWH, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH?"
He aha koe te whakarongo ai ki te reo o Ihowa, i aurara atu ai ki nga taonga parakete, i mahi ai i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa?
20 Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of YHWH, and have gone the way which YHWH sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed Amalek.
Na ka mea a Haora ki a Hamuera, Ina, i whakarongo ano ahau ki te reo o Ihowa, i haere i te ara i tonoa ai ahau e Ihowa, kua kawea mai ano hoki e ahau a Akaka kingi o Amareke; ko nga Amareki ano hoki, whakangaromia iho e ahau.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to YHWH your God in Gilgal."
Na te iwi hoki i tango etahi o nga taonga, o nga hipi, o nga kau, nga mea tino papai o nga mea e whakangaromia ana hei mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ki Kirikara.
22 Samuel said, "Has YHWH as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of YHWH? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
Ano ra ko Hamuera, Ki ta Ihowa, he pera ranei te ahuareka o nga tahunga tinana, o nga patunga tapu, me te whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa? Nana, pai atu te whakarongo i te patunga tapu, te ngakau mahara i te ngako o nga hipi toa.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of YHWH, he has also rejected you from being king."
Rite tonu hoki te tutu ki te hara makutu; te whakatuturi ki te kino, ki te karakia whakapakoko. He whakaparahako nau ki te kupu a Ihowa, ka whakaparahako hoki ia ki a koe hei kingi.
24 Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of YHWH, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Na ka ki a Haora ki a Hamuera, Kua hara ahau, i ahau i takahi nei i te kupu a Ihowa, i au kupu ano hoki: i wehi hoki ahau i te iwi, i whakarongo ki to ratou reo.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship YHWH."
Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho toku hara, kia hoki atu taua, kia koropiko ai ahau ki a Ihowa.
26 Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH has rejected you from being king over Israel."
Ano ra ko Hamuera ki a Haora, E kore ahau e hoki tahi taua; he mea hoki kua whakaparahako koe ki te kupu a Ihowa, a kua whakaparahako a Ihowa ki a koe hei kingi mo Iharaira.
27 As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
A, i te tahuritanga o Hamuera ki te haere, ka mau tera ki te pito o tona kakahu, a kua pakaru.
28 Samuel said to him, "YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a ia, Kua haea mai e Ihowa inaianei tou kingitanga i roto i a Iharaira, kua hoatu ki tou hoa e pai atu ana i a koe.
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."
E kore ano hoki te Kaha o Iharaira e teka; e kore ano hoki e puta ke ona whakaaro; no te mea ehara ia i te tangata e puta ke ai ona whakaaro.
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 YHWH your God."
Ano ra ko tera, Kua hara ahau: otiia whakahonoretia ahau aianei i te aroaro o nga kaumatua o toku iwi, i te aroaro o Iharaira, kia hoki tahi taua, kia koropiko ai ahau ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped YHWH.
Heoi hoki ana a Hamuera i muri i a Haora, a karakia ana a Haora ki a Ihowa.
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."
Katahi a Hamuera ka mea, Kawea mai ki ahau a Akaka kingi o Amareke. Na ka ata hikoi a Akaka ki a ia. A ka mea a Akaka, He pono kua pahemo ke te ngau kino a te mate.
33 Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before YHWH in Gilgal.
Ano ra ko Hamuera, Na tau hoari i kore ai nga uri o nga wahine, ka pena ano tou whaea te urikore i roto i nga wahine. Na haua iho a Akaka e Hamuera i te aroaro o Ihowa i Kirikara.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah.
Katahi ka haere a Hamuera ki Rama; ko Haora ia i haere ki runga ki tona whare, ki Kipea o Haora.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And YHWH grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Kihai hoki a Haora i tirotirohia e Hamuera i muri iho a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia: heoi tangihia ana a Haora e Hamuera: i puta ke ano hoki nga whakaaro o Ihowa i meinga ai e ia a Haora hei kingi mo Iharaira.
