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.
Ɛda koro bi Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Me na Awurade somaa me sɛ memmɛsra wo ngo sɛ Israel ɔhene. Afei tie nkra a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn no.
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.
Asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘Me ne Amalekfoɔ bɛdi wɔ deɛ wɔyɛ de tiaa Israelfoɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔfiri Misraim reba no.
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.
Enti, kɔ na kɔsɛe Amalek mantam no pasaa. Kunkum mmarima ne mmaa, mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa, anantwie ne nnwan, nyoma ne mfunumu.’”
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.
Enti, Saulo frɛɛ nʼakodɔm boaa wɔn ano wɔ Telaim. Na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ asraafoɔ ɔpehanu ne ɔpedu nso a wɔfiri Yuda.
5 And he came Saul to [the] city of Amalek and he lay in wait in the wadi.
Saulo kɔɔ Amalek kuropɔn no mu, kɔtɛɛ bɔnhwa no mu.
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.
Na ɔtoo Kenifoɔ no nkra sɛ, “Momfiri deɛ Amalekfoɔ teɛ hɔ na mansɛe mo ne wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ no firi Misraim reba no, mo ne wɔn dii no yie.” Enti, Kenifoɔ no twee wɔn ho firi Amalekfoɔ no ho.
7 And he attacked Saul Amalek from Havilah coming you Shur which [is] on [the] face of Egypt.
Na Saulo kunkumm Amalekfoɔ no firii Hawila kɔsii Sur wɔ Misraim apueeɛ fam.
8 And he seized Agag [the] king of Amalek alive and all the people he totally destroyed to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Ɔkyeree Amalekfoɔ ɔhene Agag anikann, nanso ɔkunkumm nnipa no nyinaa.
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.
Na Saulo ne nʼakodɔm no anyɛ Agag bɔne biara, na mmom wɔfaa wɔn nnwan pa, anantwie pa ne anantwie ne nnwan mma a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ ne biribiara a wɔn ani gye ho. Wɔsɛee deɛ ɛho nni wɔn mfasoɔ na ɛnni mu nyinaa.
10 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Samuel saying.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ,
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.
“Manu me ho sɛ masi Saulo ɔhene, ɛfiri sɛ, wanni me nokorɛ, na afei wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrentie mʼasɛm.” Asɛm no haa Samuel, na ɔsu frɛɛ Awurade anadwo mu no nyinaa.
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.
Adeɛ kyee no, Samuel sɔree ntɛm kɔhyiaa Saulo, nanso obi ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Saulo kɔɔ Karmel sɛ ɔrekɔsi nkaeɛdum de ahyɛ ne ho animuonyam, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ 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.
Na Samuel hunuu no akyire no, Saulo kyeaa no anigyeɛ so sɛ, “Awurade nhyira wo. Madi Awurade ahyɛdeɛ no so.”
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.
Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Na adɛn ne nnwan ne anantwie su a mete yi?”
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.
Saulo gye too mu sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ akodɔm no amfa wɔn nsa anka nnwan pa ne anantwie pa no. Nanso, wɔde yei rebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn. Biribiara a ɛka ho no deɛ, yɛasɛe no.”
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.
Afei, Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Gyae! Tie asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me anadwo a atwam yi.” Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn asɛm?”
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 ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ebia wobu wo ho abomfiaa, nanso ɛnyɛ wo na wodii Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa so no? Awurade asra wo ngo sɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
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.
Na ɔsomaa wo sɛ kɔdi dwuma bi ma no, na ɔsee wo sɛ, ‘Kɔ na kɔsɛe amumuyɛfoɔ a ɛyɛ Amalekfoɔ no pasapasa, kɔsi sɛ mobɛtɔre wɔn ase dworobɛɛ.’
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.
Adɛn enti na woantie Awurade? Adɛn enti na mopere fom nneɛma, na moyɛɛ deɛ Awurade kaa sɛ monnyɛ?”
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.
Saulo nso kaa no dendeenden sɛ, “Metiee Awurade. Deɛ ɔkyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, meyɛeɛ. Mede ɔhene Agag sane baeɛ. Na wɔn a aka no deɛ, mesɛee wɔn nyinaa.
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.
Na mʼakodɔm no nso de nnwan pa, anantwie pa ne asadeɛ baeɛ sɛ wɔde rebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn wɔ 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.
Na Samuel buaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na ɛsɔ Awurade ani: sɛ wobɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne okum afɔdeɛ anaasɛ wobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama Awurade nne? Osetie yɛ sene afɔrebɔ, sɛ wobɛtie no no yɛ sene sɛ wode nnwennini akɛseɛ sradeɛ bɛma.
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.
Adɔnyɛ te sɛ bayie, ɛna asoɔden nso te sɛ ahonisom. Esiane sɛ woapo Awurade asɛm no enti, ɔno nso apo wʼahennie.”
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.
Na Saulo ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne. Manni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ ne wo nkyerɛkyerɛ so. Na mesuro nnipa no enti na meyɛɛ wɔn apɛdeɛ maa wɔn no.
25 And therefore forgive please sin my and return with me so I may bow down to Yahweh.
Enti, mesrɛ wo, fa me bɔne kyɛ me na wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade.”
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.
Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merensane ne wo nkɔ. Woapo Awurade ahyɛdeɛ enti Awurade nso apo wʼahennie!”
27 And he turned round Samuel to go and he took hold on [the] skirt of robe his and it tore.
Samuel yɛɛ sɛ ɔrekɔ no, Saulo sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ mu pɛɛ sɛ ɔsane noɔ, na atadeɛ no mu suaneeɛ.
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 ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, Awurade ate Israel ahemman mu afiri wo ho de ama obi foforɔ a ɔyɛ sene wo.
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.
Deɛ ɔyɛ Israel Animuonyam no nni atorɔ na ɔnsesa nʼadwene; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnnyɛ onipa na wasesa nʼadwene.”
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.
Saulo srɛɛ bio sɛ, “Menim sɛ mayɛ bɔne. Na mesrɛ wo sɛ, hyɛ me animuonyam wɔ me mpanimfoɔ ne me nkurɔfoɔ anim; wo ne me nkɔsom Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn.”
31 And he turned back Samuel after Saul and he bowed down Saul to Yahweh.
Enti, Samuel pene ne Saulo sane kɔeɛ, na Saulo somm Awurade.
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.
Afei, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Fa ɔhene Agag brɛ me.” Agag baa ne nkyɛn gyidie mu, susuu sɛ ɛhɔ a wakɔ no deɛ, owuo apare no.
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.
Nanso, Samuel kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ wʼakofena akum mmaa bi mmammarima no, wo nso wo maame bɛyɛ ɔbaa a ɔnni ba.” Enti, Samuel twitwaa Agag mu nketenkete Awurade anim wɔ Gilgal.
34 And he went Samuel Ramah towards and Saul he went up to house his Gibeah of Saul.
Na Samuel firi hɔ kɔɔ Rama ɛna Saulo nso kɔɔ ne fie wɔ 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 anhyia Saulo bio nanso ɔdii ne ho yea bebree. Na ɛyɛɛ Awurade yea sɛ wasi Saulo ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
