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:
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Sinugo ako ng Panginoon upang pahiran kita ng langis na maging hari sa kaniyang bayan, sa Israel: ngayon nga'y dinggin mo ang tinig ng mga salita ng Panginoon.
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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Aking tinandaan yaong ginawa ng Amalec sa Israel, kung paanong siya'y humadlang sa kaniya sa daan, nang siya'y umahon mula sa Egipto.
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)!’”
Ngayo'y yumaon ka at saktan mo ang Amalec, at iyong lubos na lipulin ang buo nilang tinatangkilik, at huwag kang manghinayang sa kanila; kundi patayin mo ang lalake at babae, sanggol at sumususo, baka at tupa, kamelyo at asno.
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].
At pinisan ni Saul ang bayan at binilang sila sa Telaim, dalawang yutang lalake na naglalakad, at sangpung libong lalake sa Juda.
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.
At dumating si Saul sa bayan ng Amalec, at bumakay sa libis.
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.
At sinabi ni Saul sa mga Cineo, Kayo'y magsiyaon, humiwalay kayo at umalis kayo sa gitna ng mga Amalecita, baka kayo'y lipulin kong kasama nila; sapagka't kayo'y nagpakita ng kagandahang loob sa mga anak ni Israel, nang sila'y umahong mula sa Egipto. Sa gayo'y umalis ang mga Cineo sa gitna ng mga Amalecita.
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.
At sinaktan ni Saul ang mga Amalecita mula sa Havila kung patungo ka sa Shur, na nasa tapat ng Egipto.
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
At kaniyang kinuhang buhay si Agag na hari ng mga Amalecita, at lubos na nilipol ang buong bayan ng talim ng tabak.
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.
Nguni't pinanghinayangan ni Saul at ng bayan si Agag, at ang pinakamabuti sa mga tupa, sa mga baka, at sa mga pinataba, at sa mga kordero, at lahat ng mabuti, at yaong mga hindi nila lubos na nilipol: nguni't bawa't bagay na hamak at walang kabuluhan, ay kanilang lubos na nilipol.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Samuel, na sinasabi,
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.
Ikinalulungkot ko na aking inilagay na hari si Saul; sapagka't siya'y tumalikod na hindi sumunod sa akin, at hindi tinupad ang aking mga utos. At si Samuel ay nagalit, at siya'y dumaing sa Panginoon buong gabi.
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.”
At si Samuel ay bumangong maaga upang salubungin si Saul sa kinaumagahan; at nasaysay kay Samuel, na sinasabi, Si Saul ay naparoon sa Carmel, at, narito, ipinagtayo niya siya ng isang monumento, at siya'y lumibot at nagpatuloy, at lumusong sa Gilgal.
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.”
At naparoon si Samuel kay Saul, at sinabi ni Saul sa kaniya, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon, aking tinupad ang utos ng Panginoon.
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
At sinabi ni Samuel, Anong kahulugan nga nitong iyak ng tupa sa aking pakinig, at ng ungal ng mga baka na aking naririnig?
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.”
At sinabi ni Saul, Sila'y dinala mula sa mga Amalecita: sapagka't ang bayan ay nagligtas ng pinakamabuti sa mga tupa at sa mga baka, upang ihain sa Panginoon mong Dios; at ang natira ay aming lubos na nilipol.
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].”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Tumigil ka, at aking sasaysayin sa iyo kung ano ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin nang gabing ito. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sabihin mo.
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.
At sinabi ni Samuel, Bagaman ikaw ay maliit sa iyong sariling paningin, hindi ka ba ginawang pangulo sa mga lipi ng Israel? At pinahiran ka ng langis ng Panginoon na maging hari sa Israel;
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.’
At sinugo ka ng Panginoon sa isang paglalakbay, at sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, at iyong lubos na lipulin ang mga makasalanang Amalecita, at labanan mo sila hanggang sa sila'y malipol.
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]
Bakit nga hindi mo sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, kundi ikaw ay dumaluhong sa pananamsam, at ikaw ay gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon?
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
At sinabi ni Saul kay Samuel, Oo, aking sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, at ako'y yumaon sa daan na pinagsuguan sa akin ng Panginoon, at aking dinala si Agag na hari ng Amalec, at aking lubos na nilipol ang mga Amalecita.
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.”
Nguni't ang bayan ay kumuha sa samsam ng mga tupa at mga baka, ng pinakamabuti sa mga itinalagang bagay, upang ihain sa Panginoon mong Dios sa Gilgal.
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].
At sinabi ni Samuel, Nagtataglay kaya ang Panginoon ng napakadakilang pagkatuwa sa mga handog na susunugin at sa mga hain, na gaya sa pagsunod ng tinig ng Panginoon? Narito, ang pagsunod ay maigi kay sa hain, at ang pagdinig kay sa taba ng mga tupang lalake.
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.”
Sapagka't ang panghihimagsik ay gaya ng kasalanan ng panghuhula, at ang katigasan ng ulo ay gaya ng pagsamba sa mga diosdiosan at sa mga terap. Sapagka't dahil sa iyong itinakuwil ang salita ng Panginoon, ay kaniya namang itinakuwil ka upang huwag ka nang maging hari.
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.
At sinabi ni Saul kay Samuel, Ako'y nagkasala; sapagka't ako'y sumalangsang sa utos ng Panginoon, at sa iyong mga salita; sapagka't ako'y natakot sa bayan, at sumunod sa kanilang tinig.
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.”
Ngayon nga'y isinasamo ko sa iyo, ipatawad mo ang aking kasalanan, at bumalik ka uli na kasama ko, upang ako'y sumamba sa Panginoon.
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].”
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Hindi ako babalik na kasama mo; sapagka't iyong itinakuwil ang salita ng Panginoon, at itinakuwil ka ng Panginoon upang huwag ka nang maging hari sa Israel.
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
At nang pumihit si Samuel upang yumaon, siya'y pumigil sa laylayan ng kaniyang balabal, at nahapak.
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.
At sinabi ni Samuel sa kaniya, Hinapak sa iyo ng Panginoon ang kaharian ng Israel sa araw na ito, at ibinigay sa iyong kapuwa, na maigi kay sa iyo.
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.”
At ang Lakas ng Israel naman ay hindi magbubulaan o magsisisi man; sapagka't siya'y hindi isang tao na magsisisi.
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y nagkasala: gayon ma'y parangalan mo ako ngayon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa harap ng mga matanda ng aking bayan at sa harap ng Israel, at bumalik ka uli na kasama ko upang aking sambahin ang Panginoon mong Dios.
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
Gayon bumalik uli na sumunod si Samuel kay Saul; at sumamba si Saul sa Panginoon.
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!”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel, Dalhin ninyo rito sa akin si Agag na hari ng mga Amalecita. At masayang naparoon si Agag sa kaniya. At sinabi ni Agag, Tunay na ang kapaitan ng kamatayan ay nakaraan na.
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.
At sinabi ni Samuel, Kung paanong niwalan ng anak ng iyong tabak ang mga babae, ay magiging gayon ang iyong ina na mawawalan ng anak, sa gitna ng mga babae. At pinagputolputol ni Samuel si Agag sa harap ng Panginoon sa Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Samuel sa Rama, at si Saul ay sumampa sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa ni Saul.
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.
At si Samuel ay hindi na bumalik na napakitang muli kay Saul hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan; sapagka't tinangisan ni Samuel si Saul: at ang Panginoon ay nagdamdam na kaniyang nagawang hari si Saul sa Israel.
