1 Samuel 15
1 [One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
Sa: miuele da Soloma amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da na amo dia Isala: ili dunu ilia hina bagade mogiligale ilegei da susuligi sogadigima: ne asunasi. Waha, dia Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea adobe nabima!
2 Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
Hina Gode da A: malege dunuma se dabe imunu. Bai Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge fisili, gadili ahoanoba, A:malege ilia aowalali da ilima gegei.
3 So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
Dilia! Asili, A:malege dunuma doagala: le, liligi ilia galebe amo huluane wadela: lesima. Liligi afae mae yolesili, dunu amola uda, mano, mano dudubu, bulamagau, sibi, ga: mele amola dougi, huluanedafa fane lelegele ebelema!”
4 So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
Solo da ea dadi gagui dunu huluane Dileme moilaiga wele sia: ne guda: le, abedei. Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu da 200,000 agoane ba: i, amola Yuda dadi gagui dunu da 10,000 agoane ba: i.
5 Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
Amalalu, Solo amola ea dunu da A: malege moilai afae amoga hano hai logoga asili, logoa legei dialu.
6 Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
Ginaide dunu da A: malege dunu gilisibi ba: i. Be Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi fisili ga ahoanoba, Ginaide ilia aowalali da ilima asigiba: le, fidi. Amaiba: le, Solo da ilima sisane sia: i, “Na da dili amola A: malege dunu gilisili fane legesa: besa: le, ili yolesima!” Amaiba: le, Ginaide dunu da A: malege dunu yolesili, asi.
7 Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
Solo da A: malege dunu hasali. Ilia gegesu da Ha: fila sogega muni gegegena ahoana, Sioua hafoga: i sogega doaga: i. (Sioua da Idibidi sogega gusudili ba: i).
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
E da A: malege hina bagade A: iga: ge mae medole legele gagui, be ea fi dunu eno huluane medole lelegei.
9 They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
Be Solo amola ea dunu da A: iga: ge hame medole legei amola ilia da noga: idafa sibi, bulamagau, bulamagau mano amola sibi mano hame medole legei. Amola liligi noga: idafa ilia hame wadela: lesi. Ilia wadela: i amola hamedei liligi fawane wadela: lesisi.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
Hina Gode da Sa: miuelema amane sia: i,
11 “I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
“Na da Soloma hina hawa: hamosu iabeba: le higasa. E da Nama baligi fa: i amola Na hamoma: ne sia: i huluane giadofai.” Sa: miuele da ougi bagade ba: i. E da gasia Godema dini iana hadigi.
12 Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
Golale, hahabedafa, e da Solo hogola asi. Be Solo da Gamele Goumi amoga asi sia: be, e da nabi. Amogawi, Solo da ea hamoi dawa: loma: ne igi wanonesilalu, Giliga: le moilaiga asi.
13 When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
Amoga asili, Sa: miuele da Soloma heda: le, Solo da ema amane sia: i, “Sa: miuele! Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea! Na da Hina Gode Ea sia: defele hamoi!”
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
Sa: miuele da adole ba: i, “Amaiba: le, abuliba: le na da bulamagau gona: be amola sibi ga: ga: be nabasala: ?
15 Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
Solo da dabe adole i, “Na dunu ilia da amo liligi A: malege dunu ilima samogele lai. Ilia da sibi amola bulamagau noga: idafa amo dia Hina Godema gobele salimusa: modalesili, oda amo huluane gugunufinisi dagoi.”
16 Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Yolema! Amalu, na da dima Hina Gode Ea nama gasia adoi amo na dima adomu.” Solo e amane sia: i, “Nama adole ima!”
17 Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
Sa: miuele da bu adole i, “Di da musa: hamedei dunu disu dawa: lalu. Be di da wali Isala: ili fi dunu huluane ilima ouligisu dunu esala. Hina Gode da dima Isala: ili dunu ilia hina bagade hamoma: ne, susuligi sogagala: le, mogili gagai.
18 And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
Amola E da dia wadela: idafa A: malege dunu huluane amo gugunufinisima: ne sia: si.
19 So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
Amaiba: le, dia da abuliba: le Ea sia: hame nababela: ? Dia da abuliba: le momabo nagoma: ia asili liligi uasuli lidibala: ? Dia da abuliba: le Hina Gode Ea hahawane hame ba: ma: ne hamobela: ?”
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
Solo da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele hamoi. Na da Ea sia: i defele asili, hina bagade A: iga: ge goeguda: oule misini amola A: malege dunu huluane fane lelegei.
21 My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
Be na dunu ilia da sibi amola bulamagau noga: idafa, ilia samogele hame medole legei. Be ilia da amo dia Hina Godema gobele salimusa: , Giliga: lega goeguda: oule misi.”
22 But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
Sa: miuele da amane sia: i. “Hina Gode Ea baligisu hamoma: ne hanai amo da habola: ? Nabasu hou o Godema iasu amola gobele salasu hou amola: ? Hina Godema nabasu hou da ema noga: idafa sibi gobele salasu hou baligisa.
23 To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
Ema odaga: su hou da wadela: i gabi dawa: su hou defele gala. Amola dodona: gi hou da wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou defele gala. Di da Hina Gode Ea sia: i higale, amo hame nababeba: le, E da di hina bagade hamomu logo hedofai dagoi.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
Solo da bu adole i, “Dafawane! Na da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Na da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amola dia nama adoi amo giadofai dagoi. Na da nama fa: no bobogei dunu ilima beda: iba: le, ilia hanaiga fawane hamoi.
25 But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
Be waha! Na dima edegesa! Na wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoma. Amola na da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , dia na Giliga: lega sigi masa.”
26 But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
Be Sa: miuele da bu adole i, “Na da ani hame buhagimu. Bai di da Hina Gode Ea sia: i higale, hame nababeba: le, E da di hina bagade hamomu logo hedofai dagoi.”
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
Amalalu, Sa: miuele da masusa: delegiagaloba, Solo da ea abulaga gagulaligili, ea abula gadelai.
28 Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
Sa: miuele da ema amane sia: i, “Wali Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi hina bagade hou amo dima dialu amo dusa: le, eno dunu dia hou baligi ema i dagoi.
29 And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
Isala: ili ilia Hina Gode Hadigidafa da ogogosu hame dawa: , amola Ea asigi dawa: su hame afadenesa. E da dunu hame. E da Ea asigi dawa: su hamedafa afadenesa.”
30 Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
Solo da adole i, “Na da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Be Isala: ili fi asigilai dunu amola dunu huluane da nama nodoma: ne, nama asigima. Na da dia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , dia na buhagima: ne sigi masa.”
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
Amaiba: le, Sa: miuele ele galu Giliga: le moilaiga buhagi. Amola Solo da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “A: malege ilia hina bagade A: iga: ge nama goeguda: oule misa.” A: iga: ge da beda: ga iagugusa ema misi. E agoane dawa: i, “Na bogoma: beya: le dawa: i amo da baligi dagoi.”
33 But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
Be Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Dia gegesu gobihei da uda bagohame ilia mano medole legei dagoi. Waha dia: me ea mano da medole legei dagoi ba: mu.” Amalalu, e da Giliga: le gobele salasu fafai (oloda) midadi, A:iga: ge fane, heda: sini fofonobone fasi.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
Amalalu, Sa: miuele da La: ima moilaiga asi. Amola hina bagade Solo da hi moilai Gibiaga asi.
35 Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
Sa: miuele ea esalusu amogalu, Solo bu hame ba: i. Be e da eha fofagisu. Amola Hina Gode da musa: Solo Isala: ili ouligima: ne ilegeiba: le, da: i dioi galu.
