< 1 Samuel 15 >
1 And Samuel seide to Saul, The Lord sente me, that Y schulde anoynte thee in to `kyng on his puple Israel; now therfor here thou the vois `of the Lord.
Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “BWANA alinituma nikutie mafuta uwe mfalme wa watu wake Israeli. Basi sikiliza maneno ya BWANA.
2 The Lord of oostis seith thes thingis, Y haue rikenyd what euer thingis Amalech dide to Israel; hou Amalech ayenstood Israel in the weie, whanne he stiede from Egipt.
Hivi ndivyo BWANA wa majeshi asemavyo, 'Nilichunguza jinsi Amaleki alivyomfanyia Israeli kwa kuwapinga njiani, walipopanda kutoka Misri.
3 Now therfor go thou, and sle Amalech, and distruye thou alle `thingis of hym; spare thou not hym, and coueyte thou not ony thing of hise thingis; but sle thou fro man `til to womman, and a litil child, and soukynge, an oxe, and scheep, and camel, and asse.
Sasa nenda umshambulie Amaleki na ukaangamize kabisa vitu vyote walivyo navyo. Usiwaache, ua wote mwanamme na mwanamke, mtoto na mtoto mchanga, ng'ombe na kondoo, ngamia na punda.”'
4 Therfor Saul comaundide to the puple, and he noumbride hem as lambren twei hundrid thousynde of foot men, and ten thousynde of men of Juda.
Sauli akwaita watu na kuwahesabu katika mji wa Talemu: watu mia mbili elfu waendao kwa miguu, na watu elfu kumi kutoka Yuda.
5 And whanne Saul cam to the citee of Amalech, he made redi buyschementis in the stronde.
Kisha Sauli akaja hadi mji wa Amaleki akangoja huko bondeni.
6 And Saul seide to Cyney, Go ye, departe ye, and go ye awei fro Amalech, lest perauenture Y wlappe thee in with hem; for thou didist mercy with alle the sones of Israel, whanne thei stieden fro Egipt. And Cyney departide fro the myddis of Amalech.
Ndipo Sauli akawaambia Wakeni, “Nendeni, muondoke, mkajitenge na Waamaleki, nisije kuwaangamiza pamoja nao. Kwa maana ulionesha wema kwa watu wote wa Israeli, walipotoka Misri.” Kwa hiyo Wakeni wakajitenga na Waamaleki.
7 And Saul smoot Amalech fro Euila, til thou come to Sur, which is ayens Egipt.
Kisha sauli akawashambulia Waamaleki, kutoka Havila hadi kufika Shuri, ulio mashariki mwa Misri.
8 And he took Agag quyke, the kyng of Amalech; sotheli he killide bi the scharpnesse of swerd alle the comyn puple.
Basi akamchukua Agagi mfalme wa Waamaleki akiwa hai; aliwaangamiza kabisa watu wote kwa ncha ya upanga.
9 And Saul and the puple sparide Agag, and the beste flockis of scheep, and of grete beestis, and clothis, and rammes, and alle thingis that weren faire; and thei nolden destrie tho; sotheli what euer thing was vijl, and repreuable, thei distrieden this.
Lakini Sauli na watu wake wakamwacha Agagi akiwa hai, pamoja na kondoo wazuri, ng'ombe, ndama wanono, na wanakondoo. Kila kitu kilichokuwa kizuri, hawakukiangamiza. Bali waliangamiza kabisa chochote kilichodharaulika na kisicho na thamani.
10 Forsothe the word of the Lord was maad to Samuel,
Baadaye neno la BWANA likamjia Samweli, kusema,
11 and seide, It repentith me, that Y made Saul kyng; for he forsook me, and fillide not my wordis in werk. And Samuel was sory, and he criede to the Lord in al the nyyt.
“Inanihuzunisha kwamba nimemchagua Samweli awe mfalme, kwa maana aligeuka nyuma asinifuate na hakutekeleza maagizo yangu.” Samweli alikasirika; akamlilia BWANA usiku kucha.
12 And whanne Samuel hadde rise bi nyyt to go eerly to Saul, it was teld to Samuel, that Saul hadde come in to Carmel, and hadde reisid to hym a signe of victorye; and that he hadde turned ayen, and hadde passid, and hadde go doun in to Galgala. Therfor Samuel cam to Saul, and Saul offride brent sacrifice to the Lord of the cheef thingis of preies, whiche he hadde brouyt fro Amalech.
Samweli aliamka mapema akutane na Sauli wakati wa asubuhi. Samweli aliambiwa, “Sauli alifika Karmeli na amejijengea ukumbusho kwa ajili yake, kisha aligeuka na kuendelea chini hadi Gilgali.” Ndipo
13 And the while Samuel cam to Saul, Saul seide to hym, Blessid be thou of the Lord, Y haue fillid the `word of the Lord.
Samweli akamwendea Sauli, na Sauli akamwambia, “Umebarikiwa na BWANA! Nami nimetekeleza amri ya BWANA.”
14 And Samuel seide, And what is the vois of flockis, that sowneth in myn eeris, and of grete beestis, whiche Y here?
Samweli akasema, “Hicho kilio cha kondoo ni cha nini basi masikioni mwangu, na hiyo milio ya ng'ombe ninayosikia?
15 And Saul seide, Thei brouyten tho fro Amalech, for the puple sparide the betere scheep and grete beestis, that tho schulden be offrid to thi Lord God; sotheli we killiden the tothere beestis.
Sauli akamjibu, “Wao wamewaleta kutoka kwa Waamaleki. Kwa sababu watu waliwaacha hai kondoo wazuri na ng'ombe, kwa ajili ya sadaka kwa BWANA Mungu wako. Zilizobaki tuliziangamiza kabisa.”
16 Forsothe Samuel seide to Saul, Suffre thou me, and Y schal schewe to thee what thingis the Lord spak to me in the nyyt. And he seide to Samuel, Speke thou.
Ndipo Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Subiri nitakumbia kile ambacho BWANA amekisema kwangu usiku.” Sauli akamwambia, “Sema!”
17 And Samuel seide, Whether not, whanne thou were litil in thin iyen, thou were maade heed in the lynages of Israel, and the Lord anoyntide thee in to kyng on Israel;
Samweli akasema, “Ingawa wewe ni mdogo machoni pako mwenyewe, je, hukufanywa mkuu wa kabila za Israeli? Na BWANA akakutia mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya Israeli;
18 and the Lord sente thee in to the weie, and seide, Go thou, and sle the synneris of Amalech, and thou schalt fiyte ayens hem `til to sleyng of hem.
BWANA alikutuma katika safari yako akisema, 'nenda na uangamize kabisa wenye dhambi, Waamaleki, na upigane dhidi yao hadi wameangamizwa.'
19 Whi therfor herdist thou not the vois of the Lord, but thou were turned to prey, and didist yuel in the `iyen of the Lord?
Kwa nini basi haukuitii sauti ya BWANA, bali badala yake ulishikilia nyara na ukafanya uovu machoni pa BWANA?”
20 And Saul seide to Samuel, Yhis, Y herde the `vois of the Lord, and Y yede in the weie, bi which the Lord sente me, and Y haue brouyt Agag, the kyng of Amalech, and Y killide Amalech.
Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Samweli, “Kweli kabisa niliitii sauti ya BWANA, Na nimeifuata njia ambayo BWANA alinituma. Nimemteka Agagi, mfalme wa Waamaleki, na kuwaangamiza kabisa Waamaleki.
21 Forsothe the puple took of the prey, scheep and oxun, the firste fruytis of tho thingis, that ben slayn, that thei make sacrifice to her Lord God in Galgalis.
Lakini watu walichukua baadhi ya nyara-kondoo na ng'ombe, na vitu vizuri vilivyokusudiwa kuangamizwa, ili wavitoe dhabihu kwa BWANA, Mungu wako, huko Gilgali.”
22 And Samuel seide, Whether the Lord wole brent sacrifices, ethir slayn sacrifices, and not more that me obeie to the vois of the Lord? For obedience is betere than sacrifices, and to `herkene Goddis word is more than to offre the ynnere fatnesse of rammes;
Samweli akajibu, “Je, BWANA hufurahia sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu kama ilivyo kuitii sauti yake? Utii ni bora kuliko dhabihu, na kusikia ni bora kuliko mafuta ya beberu.
23 for it is as the synne of mawmetrie to `fiyte ayens Goddis heest, and it is as the wickidnesse of ydolatrie to nyle `ascente to Goddis heest. Therfor for that, that thou castidist awey the word of the Lord, the Lord castide thee awei, that thou be not kyng.
Kwa maana uasi ni sawa na dhambi ya uchawi, na ukaidi ni sawa na uovu na udhalimu. Kwa kuwa umelikataa neno la BWANA, naye pia amekukataa usiwe mfalme.”
24 And Saul seide to Samuel, Y synnede, for Y brak the word of the Lord, and thi wordis; `and Y dredde the puple, `and obeiede to `the vois of hem; but now,
Ndipo Sauli akamwambia Samweli, “Nimetenda dhambi; kwa maana nimevunja amri ya BWANA na maneno yako, kwa sababu niliwaogopa watu na kuitii sauti yao.
25 Y biseche, bere thou my synne, and turne thou ayen with me, that Y worschipe the Lord.
Sasa, tafadhali nisamehe dhambi yangu, na urudi nami ili nipate kumcha BWANA.”
26 And Samuel seide to Saul, Y schal not turne ayen with thee, for thou castidist awey the word of the Lord, and the Lord castide awei thee, that thou be not king on Israel.
Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Sitarudi pamoja na wewe; kwa sababu umekataa neno la BWANA, naye BWANA amekukataa usiwe mfalme juu ya Israeli.”
27 And Samuel turnede to go a wey; sotheli Saul took the ende of the mentil of Samuel, which also was to-rent.
Samweli alipogeuka kuondoka, Sauli akashika pindo la kanzu yake, na likachanika.
28 And Samuel seide to hym, The Lord hath kit the rewme of Israel fro thee to dai, and yaf it to thi neiybore betere than thou;
Samweli akamwambia, “BWANA ameuchana ufalme wa Israeli kutoka kwako leo na amempa ufalme huo jirani yako, aliye bora kuliko wewe.
29 certis the ouercomere in Israel schal not spare, and he schal not be bowid bi repentaunce; for he is not man, `that is, chaungeable, that he do repentaunce.
Pia, yeye ni Uwezo wa Israeli hatasema uongo wala kubadili nia yake; kwa sababu si mwanadamu, kwamba abadili nia yake.”
30 And Saul seide, Y synnede; but now onoure thou me bifor the eldere men of my puple, and bifor Israel, and turne thou ayen with me, that Y worschipe thi Lord God.
Kisha Sauli akasema, “Nimetenda dhambi. Lakini tafadhali nipe heshima wakati huu mbele ya wakuu wa watu wangu na mbele ya Israeli. Urudi tena pamoja nami, kusudi niweze kumcha BWANA, Mungu wako.”
31 Therfor Samuel turnede ayen, and suede Saul, and Saul worschipide the Lord.
Hivyo Samweli akamrudia tena Sauli, na Sauli akamcha BWANA.
32 And Samuel seide, Brynge ye to me Agag, the kyng of Amalech. And Agag `moost fat tremblynge was brouyt to hym. And Agag seide, Whether thus departith bitter deeth?
Kisha Samweli akasema, “Mmlete hapa kwangu Agagi mfalme wa Waamaleki.” Agagi akafika kwake akiwa amefungwa minyororo na kusema, “Hakika uchungu wa kifo umepita.”
33 And Samuel seide, As thi swerd made wymmen with out fre children, so thi modir schal be with out fre children among wymmen. And Samuel kittide hym in to gobetis bifor the Lord in Galgalis.
Naye Samweli akamjibu, “Jinsi upanga wako ulivyofanya wanawake wapoteze watoto, vivyo hivyo mama yako naye hatakuwa na mtoto miongoni mwa wanawake.” Kisha Samweli akamkata Agagi vipande vipande mbele za BWANA huko Gilgali.
34 Forsothe Samuel yede in to Ramatha; sotheli Saul stiede in to his hows in Gabaa.
Samweli akaenda Rama, na Sauli akapanda kwenda nyumbani kwake Gibea ya Sauli.
35 And Samuel siy no more Saul `til to the dai of his deeth; netheles Samuel biweilide Saul, for it repentide the Lord, that he hadde ordeyned Saul kyng on Israel.
Samweli hakumuona tena Sauli hadi siku ya kifo chake, lakini alimwombolezea Sauli. Na BWANA alijuta kwa kumfanya Sauli awe mfalme juu ya Israeli.
