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:
OLELO aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Na Iehova wau i hoouna mai e poni ia oe i alii maluna o kona poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela: ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ka leo o na olelo a Iehova.
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ke kaua, peneia, Ke hoomanao nei au i ka mea a ka Amaleka i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela, i kona ku e mai ia ia ma ke ala, i ka manawa i hele mai ai ia mai Aigupita mai.
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)!’”
Ano hoi e hele oe, a e luku aku i ka Ameleka, a e luku aku i ko lakou mea a pau loa, mai minamina ia lakou; aka, e luku aku i ke kane a me ka wahine, i ke keiki a me ka mea omo waiu, i ka bipi a me ka hipa, i ke kamelo a me ka hoki.
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].
Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka, a helu aku la ia lakou ma Telaima, elua haneri tausani kanaka koa hele wawae, a he umi tausani kanaka o ka Iuda.
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.
A hele aku la o Saula i ke kulanakauhale o ka Amaleka, a kaua aku la ma ke awawa.
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.
Olelo aku la o Saula i ka poe Keni, E hele aku, e haalele, e iho ilalo mai waena mai o ka Amaleka, o luku aku auanei au ia oukou me lakou: no ka mea, ua lokomaikai oukou i na mamo a Iseraela, ia lakou i hele mai, mai Aigupita mai. Hele aku la ka poe Keni mailoko aku o ka Amaleka.
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.
Luku aku la o Saula i ka Amaleka ma Havila, a hiki aku i Sura e ku pono ana i Aigupita.
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
A lawe ola aku la oia ia Agaga ke alii o ka Amaleka, a luku aku la i na kanaka a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua.
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.
Aka, o Saula a me na kanaka i hoola aku la ia Agaga, a i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a o ka poe bipi, a i na mea maikai iki iho, a i na keiki hipa, a i na mea maikai a pau, aole i luku aku ia lakou: aka, o na mea i hoowahawahaia, a me na mea ino, ua pau loa ia mea i ka lukuia e lakou.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Samuela, i mai la,
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.
Ke mihi nei au i kuu hoonoho ana ia Saula i alii: no ka mea, ua huli ae ia mai ka hahai ana ia'u, aole ia i hooko i ka'u mau kauoha. Huhu iho la o Samuela; a kahea aku la ia ia Iehova ia po a pau.
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.”
I ka wanaao, ala ae la o Samuela e halawai me Saula i kakahiaka, ua haiia mai ia Samuela, i mai la, Ua hiki mai o Saula ma Karemela, a ua kukulu i mea hoomanao nona, a ua huli ae, a ua hele aku, a ua iho ilalo i Gilegala.
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.”
A hele aku la o Samuela io Saula la; i mai la o Saula ia ia, Pomaikai oe ia Iehova; ua hooko no wau i ka olelo a Iehova.
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
I aku la o Samuela, No ke aha keia alala ana o na hipa ma kuu pepeiao, a me ka uwo ana o na bipi a'u e lohe nei?
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.”
I mai la o Saula, Ua lawe mai lakou ia mau mea mai ka Amaleka mai: no ka mea, ua hoola na kanaka i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a me na bipi, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova, i kou Akua; a o na mea e ae, ua pau ia makou i ka lukuia.
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].”
Olelo aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Alia, a e hai aku au ia oe i ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u i neia po. I mai la kela ia ia, E hai mai.
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.
I aku la o Samuela, I ka wa i uuku ai oe i kou maka, aole anei i lilo oe i luna no na ohana o ka Iseraela, a i poni mai hoi o Iehova ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela?
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.’
Hoouna aku la o Iehova ia oe ma ke ala, i aku la, E hele, a e luku loa aku i ka poe hewa o ka Amaleka, a e kaua aku ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia.
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]
No ke aha la oe i hoolohe ole ai i ka leo o Iehova, a ua lawe hewa oe i ka waiwai pio, a ua hana hewa oe imua o Iehova.
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hoolohe no wau i ka leo o Iehova, a ua hele au ma ke ala a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia'u, a ua lawe mai au ia Agaga, i ke alii o ka Amaleka, a ua luku loa aku au i ka Amaleka.
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.”
Aka, ua lawe na kanaka i ka waiwai pio, i ka hipa, a me ka bipi, i na mea maikai o na mea laa, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova i kou Akua ma Gilegala.
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].
I aku la o Samuela, Ua like anei ka oluolu o Iehova i na mohaikuni, a i na alana, me ka hoolohe ana i ka leo o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka pono o ka hoolohe ana, mamua o ka mohai, a o ka maliu ana, mamua o ka momona o na hipakane.
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.”
No ka mea, o ke kipi, ua like ia me ka hewa o ka anaana, a o ka hoopaakiki, me ka lapuwale o ka hoomanakii: no kou haalele ana i ka olelo a Iehova, ua haalele mai ia ia oe, aole oe ke alii.
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.
I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hewa au; no ka mea, ua malama ole au i ke kauoha a Iehova, a me kau mau olelo, no kuu makau ana i na kanaka, a ua hoolohe au i ko lakou leo.
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.”
Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala mai oe i kuu hewa, a e huli ae me au, a e hoomana aku ia Iehova.
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].”
I aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Aole au e huli ae me oe; no ka mea, ua haalele oe i ke kauoha a Iehova, a ua haalele mai o Iehova ia oe, aole oe ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
A i ka huli ana ae o Samuela e hele aku, lalau mai la kela i ka lepa o kona aahu, a nahae iho la ia.
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.
I aku la o Samuela ia ia, Ua hoonahae mai o Iehova i ke aupuni mai ou aku la i keia la, a ua haawi aku ia mea i kekahi hoalauna ou, ua oi aku kona pono i kou.
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.”
Aole no hoi e hoopunipuni ka Oiaio o ka Iseraela, aole hoi ia e mihi; no ka mea, aole no ia he kanaka, i mihi ai oia.
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.”
I mai la ia, Ua hewa au; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u imua o na lunakahiko o kuu poe kanaka, a imua hoi o ka Iseraela, a e huli hou ae me au, i hoomana aku ai au ia Iehova i kou Akua.
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
A huli hou ae la o Samuela mahope o Saula, a hoomana aku la o Saula ia Iehova.
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!”
Alaila, i aku la o Samuela, E kaina mai o Agaga, ke alii o ka Amaleka i o'u nei: a hele olioli mai o Agaga, i mai la, He oiaio, ua hala aku la ka awaawa o ka make.
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.
I aku la o Samuela, E like me kau pahikaua i hoonele ai i na wahine i keiki ole, pela hoi e hooneleia'i kou makuwahine i ke keiki ole iwaena o na wahine. Oki liilii iho la o Samuela ia Agaga imua o Iehova ma Gilegala.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
A hele aku la o Samuela ma Rama; a pii ae la o Saula i kona hale ma Gibea o Saula.
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.
Aole hele hou o Samuela e ike ia Saula, a hiki i kona la e make ai; aka, uwe iho la o Samuela ia Saula: a mihi iho la o Iehova i kona hooalii ana ia Saula maluna o ka Iseraela.
