Samuel 1 15
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Meɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi elabena Yehowa gblɔ nam be maɖo wò Israel Fiae. Azɔ la, ele be nàɖo toe.
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.
2 Se si wòde na wò lae nye: ‘Meɖo ta me be mabia hlɔ̃ Amalekitɔwo le ale si womeɖe mɔ na nye dukɔ be wòato woƒe anyigba dzi esime Israelviwo tso Egipte o la ta.
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.
3 Eya ta yi nàtsrɔ̃ Amalek dukɔ blibo la, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, vidzĩwo, ɖeviwo, nyiwo, alẽwo, kposɔwo kple tedziwo!’”
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.
4 Ale Saul ƒo ƒu eƒe aʋakɔ nu ɖe Telaim. Aʋawɔlawo de ame akpe alafa eve kpe ɖe ame akpe ewo siwo tso Yuda la ŋu,
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.
5 eye Saul kple eƒe amewo de xa ɖe balime ɖe Amalekitɔwo ŋu.
And whanne Saul cam to the citee of Amalech, he made redi buyschementis in the stronde.
6 Saul ɖo du ɖe Kenitɔwo be woado le Amalekitɔwo dome, ne menye nenema o la, woaku kple Amalekitɔwo. Eɖe nya me na wo be, “Elabena mieve Israel nu esime wògbɔna tso Egiptenyigba dzi.” Ale Kenitɔwo dzo le Amalekitɔwo dome.
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.
7 Saul si Amalekitɔwo tso Havila yi keke Sur le Egipte ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
And Saul smoot Amalech fro Euila, til thou come to Sur, which is ayens Egipt.
8 Elé Agag, Amalekitɔwo ƒe fia eye wòwu ame mamlɛawo katã.
And he took Agag quyke, the kyng of Amalech; sotheli he killide bi the scharpnesse of swerd alle the comyn puple.
9 Saul kple eƒe amewo ɖe Agag ƒe agbe eye wotsɔ alẽ kple nyi gãtɔwo, alẽvi damitɔwo kple nu sia nu si nyo na wo la na wo ɖokui. Nu siwo ŋu asixɔxɔ boo mele o la, koe wotsrɔ̃.
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.
10 Nu sia na Yehowa gblɔ na Samuel be,
Forsothe the word of the Lord was maad to Samuel,
11 “Evem ŋutɔ be meɖo Saul fiae elabena egagbe toɖoɖom.” Nya siawo wɔ dɔ ɖe Samuel dzi ŋutɔ eya ta wòfa avi na Yehowa to zã blibo la me.
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.
12 Le ŋdi kanya la, eyi ɖadi Saul; ame aɖe gblɔ nɛ be, “Saul yi Karmel to dzi afi si wòtu ŋkuɖodzikpe aɖe ɖo na eɖokui eye wòtso eme yi Gilgal.”
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.
13 Esi Samuel va kpɔ Saul la, Saul do gbe nɛ dzidzɔtɔe hegblɔ nɛ ne, “Mewɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖo nam!”
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.
14 Ke Samuel biae be, “Ekema nu kae nye alẽ kple nyi siwo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃ sem mele?”
And Samuel seide, And what is the vois of flockis, that sowneth in myn eeris, and of grete beestis, whiche Y here?
15 Saul ʋu eme be, “Nyateƒe, nye aʋawɔlawo mewu alẽ kple nyi damiawo o, ke wotsɔ wo gbɔe be yewoasa vɔe na Yehowa, wò Mawu la ke míetsrɔ̃ nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe.”
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.
16 Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Ɖo to nàse nu si Yehowa gblɔ nam zã si va yi la me!” Saul bia be, “Nya kae wògblɔ?”
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.
17 Samuel gblɔ nɛ be, “Togbɔ be mèbu ɖokuiwò amegãe o hã la, Mawu ɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
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;
18 Ede dɔ aɖe asi na wò eye wògblɔ na wò be, ‘Yi, nàtsrɔ̃ Amalekitɔwo, nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, keŋkeŋ.’
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.
19 Ekema nu ka ta mèwɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo dzi o? Nu ka ta nèha nuwo eye nèwɔ nu si tututu Yehowa de se na wò be mègawɔ o?”
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?
20 Saul gasẽ nu be, “Mewɔ Yehowa ƒe gbe dzi, mewɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo nam be mawɔ, melé Fia Agag vɛ, gake mewu ame mamlɛawo katã.
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.
21 Nye aʋawɔlawo bia mɔm eye meɖe mɔ na wo be woatsɔ alẽwo, nyiwo kple nu siwo dze wo ŋu la hena vɔsasa na Yehowa wò Mawu la le Gilgal.”
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.
22 Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe wò numevɔsawo kple vɔsawo dzea Yehowa ŋu wu toɖoɖo Yehowa ƒe gbea? Toɖoɖo nyo wu vɔsa eye nusese nyo wu agbowo ƒe ami.
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;
23 Elabena aglãdzedze le abe afakaka ƒe nu vɔ̃ ene eye ɖokuiŋudzedze sɔ kple trɔ̃subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi nyenye. Esi nègbe Yehowa ƒe nya ta la, eya hã gbe wò; mèganye fia o.”
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.
24 Saul lɔ̃ mlɔeba be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃, ɛ̃, megbe toɖoɖo wò eye nyemewɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi o elabena mevɔ̃ ameawo eye mewɔ nu si wobia.
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,
25 Oo, meɖe kuku, tsɔ nye nu vɔ̃ kem azɔ eye nàkplɔm yi, maɖasubɔ Yehowa.”
Y biseche, bere thou my synne, and turne thou ayen with me, that Y worschipe the Lord.
26 Ke Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Viɖe aɖeke mele eme o, esi nègbe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo ta la, eya hã gbe wò; màganye Israel Fia o!”
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.
27 Esi Samuel trɔ be yeadzo la, Saul lé Samuel ƒe awu ʋlaya toga eye awu la vuvu piã!
And Samuel turnede to go a wey; sotheli Saul took the ende of the mentil of Samuel, which also was to-rent.
28 Samuel gblɔ na Saul be, “Èkpɔea? Yehowa vuvu Israel fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò me egbe eye wòtsɔe na hawòvi aɖe si ɖɔ ʋu wu wò.
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;
29 Ame si nye Israel ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la, mele alakpa dam o, eye matrɔ ta me o, elabena menye amegbetɔe wònye o!”
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.
30 Saul gaɖe kuku be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ gake de bubu ŋunye le kplɔlawo kple Israel ŋkume ko eye nàkplɔm mayi aɖasubɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la.”
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.
31 Ale Samuel gbugbɔ yi kple Saul eye Saul subɔ Yehowa.
Therfor Samuel turnede ayen, and suede Saul, and Saul worschipide the Lord.
32 Samuel gblɔ be, “Kplɔ Amalekitɔwo ƒe fia Agag vɛ nam.” Agag va do kple alɔgbɔnukoko elabena egblɔ be, “Meka ɖe edzi be woana matsi agbe azɔ!”
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?
33 Ke Samuel gblɔ nɛ be, “Abe ale si wò yi wu ame geɖewo eye wo dadawo zu konɔwo ene la nenema kee dawò hã azu konɔ le nyɔnuwo dome.” Ale Samuel fli Agag kakɛkakɛe le Yehowa ŋkume le Gilgal.
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.
34 Samuel trɔ yi aƒe le Rama eye Saul hã trɔ yi Gibea.
Forsothe Samuel yede in to Ramatha; sotheli Saul stiede in to his hows in Gabaa.
35 Samuel megakpɔ Saul kpɔ gbeɖe o, ke exaa nu ɖe eta ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòve Yehowa be yeɖo Saul fiae na Israel.
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.
