1 Samuel 15
1 And he said Samuel to Saul me he sent Yahweh to anoint you to king over people his over Israel and therefore listen to [the] voice of [the] words of Yahweh.
Gbe ɖeka la, Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Meɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi elabena Yehowa gblɔ nam be maɖo wò Israel Fiae. Azɔ la, ele be nàɖo toe.
2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts I have paid attention to [that] which it did Amalek to Israel [that] which it set to it on the way when came up it from Egypt.
Se si wòde na wò lae nye: ‘Meɖo ta me be mabia hlɔ̃ Amalekitɔwo le ale si womeɖe mɔ na nye dukɔ be wòato woƒe anyigba dzi esime Israelviwo tso Egipte o la ta.
3 Now go and you will attack Amalek and you will totally destroy all that [belongs] to it and not you must have compassion on it and you will put to death from a man unto a woman from a child and unto a suckling-child from an ox and unto a sheep from a camel and unto a donkey.
Eya ta yi nàtsrɔ̃ Amalek dukɔ blibo la, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, vidzĩwo, ɖeviwo, nyiwo, alẽwo, kposɔwo kple tedziwo!’”
4 And he summoned Saul the people and he mustered them at Telaim two hundred thousand foot soldier[s] and ten thousand with man of Judah.
Ale Saul ƒo ƒu eƒe aʋakɔ nu ɖe Telaim. Aʋawɔlawo de ame akpe alafa eve kpe ɖe ame akpe ewo siwo tso Yuda la ŋu,
5 And he came Saul to [the] city of Amalek and he lay in wait in the wadi.
eye Saul kple eƒe amewo de xa ɖe balime ɖe Amalekitɔwo ŋu.
6 And he said Saul to the Kenite[s] go depart go down from among [the] Amalekite[s] lest I should destroy you with it and you you did loyalty with all [the] people of Israel when came up they from Egypt and it departed [the] Kenite[s] from among Amalek.
Saul ɖo du ɖe Kenitɔwo be woado le Amalekitɔwo dome, ne menye nenema o la, woaku kple Amalekitɔwo. Eɖe nya me na wo be, “Elabena mieve Israel nu esime wògbɔna tso Egiptenyigba dzi.” Ale Kenitɔwo dzo le Amalekitɔwo dome.
7 And he attacked Saul Amalek from Havilah coming you Shur which [is] on [the] face of Egypt.
Saul si Amalekitɔwo tso Havila yi keke Sur le Egipte ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
8 And he seized Agag [the] king of Amalek alive and all the people he totally destroyed to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Elé Agag, Amalekitɔwo ƒe fia eye wòwu ame mamlɛawo katã.
9 And he had compassion Saul and the people on Agag and on [the] best of the sheep and the cattle and the second and on the lambs and on all the good and not they were willing to totally destroy them and all the property despised and worthless it they totally destroyed.
Saul kple eƒe amewo ɖe Agag ƒe agbe eye wotsɔ alẽ kple nyi gãtɔwo, alẽvi damitɔwo kple nu sia nu si nyo na wo la na wo ɖokui. Nu siwo ŋu asixɔxɔ boo mele o la, koe wotsrɔ̃.
10 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Samuel saying.
Nu sia na Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel be,
11 I regret that I have made king Saul to king for he has turned back from after me and words my not he has carried out and it burned to Samuel and he cried out to Yahweh all the night.
“Evem ŋutɔ be meɖo Saul fiae elabena egagbe toɖoɖom.” Nya siawo wɔ dɔ ɖe Samuel dzi ŋutɔ eya ta wòfa avi na Yehowa to zã blibo la me.
12 And he rose early Samuel to meet Saul in the morning and it was told to Samuel saying he came Saul Carmel towards and there! [he was] setting up for himself a monument and he turned and he passed on and he went down Gilgal.
Le ŋdi kanya la, eyi ɖadi Saul; ame aɖe gblɔ nɛ be, “Saul yi Karmel to dzi afi si wòtu ŋkuɖodzikpe aɖe ɖo na eɖokui eye wòtso eme yi Gilgal.”
13 And he came Samuel to Saul and he said to him Saul [be] blessed you by Yahweh I have carried out [the] word of Yahweh.
Esi Samuel va kpɔ Saul la, Saul do gbe nɛ dzidzɔtɔe hegblɔ nɛ ne, “Mewɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖo nam!”
14 And he said Samuel and what? [is] [the] sound of the sheep this in ears my and [the] sound of the cattle which I [am] hearing.
Ke Samuel biae be, “Ekema nu kae nye alẽ kple nyi siwo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃ sem mele?”
15 And he said Saul from [the] Amalekite[s] people brought them that it had compassion the people on [the] best of the sheep and the cattle so as to sacrifice [them] to Yahweh God your and the rest we totally destroyed.
Saul ʋu eme be, “Nyateƒe, nye aʋawɔlawo mewu alẽ kple nyi damiawo o, ke wotsɔ wo gbɔe be yewoasa vɔe na Yehowa, wò Mawu la ke míetsrɔ̃ nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe.”
16 And he said Samuel to Saul be quiet so let me tell to you [that] which he said Yahweh to me this night (and he said *Q(K)*) to him speak.
Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Ɖo to nàse nu si Yehowa gblɔ nam zã si va yi la me!” Saul bia be, “Nya kae wògblɔ?”
17 And he said Samuel ¿ not though [were] small you in own eyes your [the] head of [the] tribes of Israel [are] you and he anointed you Yahweh to king over Israel.
Samuel gblɔ nɛ be, “Togbɔ be mèbu ɖokuiwò amegãe o hã la, Mawu ɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
18 And he sent you Yahweh on a journey and he said go and you will totally destroy the sinners Amalek and you will wage war against it until destroy they them.
Ede dɔ aɖe asi na wò eye wògblɔ na wò be, ‘Yi, nàtsrɔ̃ Amalekitɔwo, nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, keŋkeŋ.’
19 And why? not did you listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and did you rush? to the plunder and did you do? the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Ekema nu ka ta mèwɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo dzi o? Nu ka ta nèha nuwo eye nèwɔ nu si tututu Yehowa de se na wò be mègawɔ o?”
20 And he said Saul to Samuel that I listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and I went on the journey which he sent me Yahweh and I brought Agag [the] king of Amalek and Amalek I totally destroyed.
Saul gasẽ nu be, “Mewɔ Yehowa ƒe gbe dzi, mewɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nam be mawɔ, melé Fia Agag vɛ, gake mewu ame mamlɛawo katã.
21 And it took the people from the plunder sheep and cattle [the] choicest of the object[s] for destruction to sacrifice [them] to Yahweh God your in Gilgal.
Nye aʋawɔlawo bia mɔm eye meɖe mɔ na wo be woatsɔ alẽwo, nyiwo kple nu siwo dze wo ŋu la hena vɔsasa na Yehowa wò Mawu la le Gilgal.”
22 And he said Samuel ¿ [does] delight [belong] to Yahweh in burnt offerings and sacrifices like listening to [the] voice of Yahweh here! to obey more than sacrifice [is] good to pay attention more than [the] fat of rams.
Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe wò numevɔsawo kple vɔsawo dzea Yehowa ŋu wu toɖoɖo Yehowa ƒe gbea? Toɖoɖo nyo wu vɔsa eye nusese nyo wu agbowo ƒe ami.
23 For [is the] sin of divination rebellion and [is] wickedness and teraphim presumption because you have rejected [the] word of Yahweh and he has rejected you from king.
Elabena aglãdzedze le abe afakaka ƒe nu vɔ̃ ene eye ɖokuiŋudzedze sɔ kple trɔ̃subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi nyenye. Esi nègbe Yehowa ƒe nya ta la, eya hã gbe wò; mèganye fia o.”
24 And he said Saul to Samuel I have sinned for I have transgressed [the] mouth of Yahweh and words your for I feared the people and I listened to voice their.
Saul lɔ̃ mlɔeba be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃, ɛ̃, megbe toɖoɖo wò eye nyemewɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi o elabena mevɔ̃ ameawo eye mewɔ nu si wobia.
25 And therefore forgive please sin my and return with me so I may bow down to Yahweh.
Oo, meɖe kuku, tsɔ nye nu vɔ̃ kem azɔ eye nàkplɔm yi, maɖasubɔ Yehowa.”
26 And he said Samuel to Saul not I will return with you for you have rejected [the] word of Yahweh and he has rejected you Yahweh from being king over Israel.
Ke Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Viɖe aɖeke mele eme o, esi nègbe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo ta la, eya hã gbe wò; màganye Israel Fia o!”
27 And he turned round Samuel to go and he took hold on [the] skirt of robe his and it tore.
Esi Samuel trɔ be yeadzo la, Saul lé Samuel ƒe awu ʋlaya toga eye awu la vuvu piã!
28 And he said to him Samuel he has torn Yahweh [the] kingdom of Israel from with you this day and he will give it to neighbor your good more than you.
Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Èkpɔea? Yehowa vuvu Israel fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò me egbe eye wòtsɔe na hawòvi aɖe si ɖɔ ʋu wu wò.
29 And also [the] eminence of Israel not he will deal falsely and not he will regret for not [is] a man he to regret.
Ame si nye Israel ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la, mele alakpa dam o, eye matrɔ ta me o, elabena menye amegbetɔe wònye o!”
30 And he said I have sinned now honor me please before [the] elders of people my and before Israel and return with me and I will bow down to Yahweh God your.
Saul gaɖe kuku be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ gake de bubu ŋunye le kplɔlawo kple Israel ŋkume ko eye nàkplɔm mayi aɖasubɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la.”
31 And he turned back Samuel after Saul and he bowed down Saul to Yahweh.
Ale Samuel gbugbɔ yi kple Saul eye Saul subɔ Yehowa.
32 And he said Samuel bring near to me Agag [the] king of Amalek and he came to him Agag bonds and he said Agag truly it has departed [the] bitterness of death.
Samuel gblɔ be, “Kplɔ Amalekitɔwo ƒe fia Agag vɛ nam.” Agag va do kple alɔgbɔnukoko elabena egblɔ be, “Meka ɖe edzi be woana matsi agbe azɔ!”
33 And he said Samuel just as it has made childless women sword your so she will become childless from women mother your and he cut to pieces Samuel Agag before Yahweh in Gilgal.
Ke Samuel gblɔ nɛ be, “Abe ale si wò yi wu ame geɖewo eye wo dadawo zu konɔwo ene la nenema kee dawò hã azu konɔ le nyɔnuwo dome.” Ale Samuel fli Agag kakɛkakɛe le Yehowa ŋkume le Gilgal.
34 And he went Samuel Ramah towards and Saul he went up to house his Gibeah of Saul.
Samuel trɔ yi aƒe le Rama eye Saul hã trɔ yi Gibea.
35 And not he repeated Samuel to see Saul until [the] day of death his for he mourned Samuel concerning Saul and Yahweh he regretted that he had made king Saul over Israel.
Samuel megakpɔ Saul kpɔ gbeɖe o, ke exaa nu ɖe eta ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòve Yehowa be yeɖo Saul fiae na Israel.
