1 Samyèl 15
1 Samyèl di Sayil: -Se mwen menm Seyè a te voye pou vide lwil sou tèt ou pou ou te ka wa sou pèp Izrayèl la. Koulye a, koute pawòl Seyè a.
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken you unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Li pral pini moun Amalèk yo paske yo te kenbe tèt ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap moute soti peyi Lejip.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Koulye a, leve al atake moun Amalèk yo. W'a pran tou sa ki pou yo, w'a ofri yo bay Seyè a. Ou p'ap gen pitye pou pesonn lakay yo: N'a touye fanm kou gason, timoun ak ti bebe nan tete, ata bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.
Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and nursing infant, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 Sayil rele tout sòlda li yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon lavil Telayim. Te gen desanmil (200.000) sòlda apye ki te moun Izrayèl ak dimil (10.000) sòlda ki te moun Jida.
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Lèfini, li desann toupre yonn nan lavil moun Amalèk yo. L' al kache kò li nan yon ravin chèch.
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6 Apre sa, li voye avèti moun Kayen yo: -Wete kò nou! Kite moun Amalèk yo pou kont yo, pou nou pa touye nou ansanm ak yo. Paske nou menm moun Kayen, nou te aji byen ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap tounen soti nan peyi Lejip la. Se konsa moun Kayen yo pati, yo wete kò yo nan mitan moun Amalèk yo.
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for all of you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 Sayil bat moun Amalèk yo depi lavil Avila rive Chou sou bò solèy leve peyi Lejip.
And Saul stroke the Amalekites from Havilah until you come to Shur, that is opposite to Egypt.
8 Li pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, tou vivan, men li touye tout rès moun yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 Men Sayil ak sòlda li yo pa t' touye Agag. Yo pa t' touye pi bèl mouton yo ni pi bèl bèf yo, ni yo pa t' touye ankenn bèt ki te bon. Men, yo touye tout bèt ki te lèd, tout bèt ki te mèg tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Seyè a pale ak Samyèl, li di l' konsa:
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
11 -Mwen règrèt mwen te fè Sayil wa. Li vire do ban mwen. Li pa fè sa mwen ba li lòd fè. Samyèl pa t' kontan, li fè tout nwit lan ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.
It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
12 Nan denmen maten, bonè bonè, li soti al chache Sayil. Yo vin di Samyèl Sayil t' ale lavil Kamèl, kote li fè bati yon moniman pou tèt li, apre sa, li tounen isit, li desann lavil Gilgal.
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 Samyèl al jwenn Sayil. Sayil vin di l' bonjou: -Se pou Seyè a beni ou! Mwen fè tou sa li te ban m' lòd fè.
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be you of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
14 Samyèl mande l': -Ki tout bri mouton ak bèf m'ap tande nan zòrèy mwen konsa?
And Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15 Sayil reponn li: -Anhan! Se bèt sòlda mwen yo pran kay moun Amalèk yo. Yo pran pi bèl mouton yo ak pi bèl bèf yo, yo pa touye yo pou yo te ka ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la. Men, yo touye tout rès yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16 Samyèl di l' konsa: -Pe bouch ou, tande! Kite m' di ou sa Seyè a te vin di m' lannwit lan. Sayil di li: -Pale non!
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD has said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17 Samyèl di li: -Atout yon lè ou te rekonèt ou pa t' anyen, jòdi a se pa ou menm ki chèf tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la? Se pa Seyè a menm ki te chwazi ou pou wa pèp Izrayèl la?
And Samuel said, When you were little in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed you king over Israel?
18 Li voye ou ale avèk lòd espre pou ou te touye tout moun Amalèk yo, bann moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Se pou ou te goumen ak yo jouk ou te fin touye yo tout.
And the LORD sent you on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19 Poukisa ou pa koute sa Seyè a te di ou? Poukisa ou lage kò ou sou sa ou te pran nan men lènmi ou yo, epi ou fè sa ki pa fè Seyè a plezi.
Wherefore then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but did fly upon the spoil, and did evil in the sight of the LORD?
20 Sayil reponn Samyèl li di li: -Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te di m' fè! Mwen mache dapre lòd li. Mwen pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, mwen tounen avè l'. Mwen touye tout rès moun Amalèk yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 Men sòlda mwen yo pa t' touye bèl mouton ak pi bèl bèf yo te jwenn nan sa yo te pran lakay lènmi sa yo. Yo pote yo isit la, lavil Gilgal, pou yo te ka ofri yo sou lotèl la bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD your God in Gilgal.
22 Lè sa a, Samyèl di l' konsa: -Dapre ou, kisa Seyè a pito: yon moun k'ap ofri bèt pou boule nan dife, k'ap fè tout kalite ofrann bèt pou li, osinon yon moun k'ap fè sa li di l' fè a? Konn sa tande! Pito yon moun fè sa Seyè a di l' fè a pase pou l' touye bèt ofri pou Bondye. Pito yon moun soumèt devan Bondye pase pou l' ofri bèl belye chatre pou Seyè a.
And Samuel said, Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 Dezobeyi Bondye nan sa l' mande ou fè a se menm bagay ak fè maji. Fè tèt di ak Bondye se menm bagay ak sèvi zidòl. Enben, ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou. Li pa gen anyen pou l' wè avè ou ankò!
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.
24 Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, mwen pa fè sa Seyè a te ban m' lòd fè. Mwen pa t' koute pawòl ou te di m' lan. Se pè mwen te pè mesye m' yo kifè m' fè sa yo te vle fè a.
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and your words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 Men koulye a, tanpri, padonnen peche m' lan. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka sèvi Seyè a.
Now therefore, I pray you, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD.
26 Samyèl di li: -Non, mwen p'ap tounen avè ou. Paske ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou.
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with you: for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.
27 Samyèl fè sa li vire pou l' ale, Sayil kenbe rad li, rad la chire.
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 Samyèl di li: -Seyè a rache gouvènman peyi Izrayèl la nan men ou jòdi a. Li rale l' nan men ou. Li pral renmèt li bay yon lòt moun ki pi bon pase ou.
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD has rent the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbour of yours, that is better than you.
29 Bondye ki wa pèp Izrayèl la pa konn manti, ni li pa konn chanje lide. Se pa moun li ye. Li p'ap chanje pawòl.
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
30 Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, se vre! Men, pa fè m' wont devan tout chèf pèp mwen an, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray you, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God.
31 Se konsa Samyèl tounen avèk Sayil, epi Sayil fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
32 Apre sa, Samyèl di konsa: -Mennen Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, ban mwen. Agag vin jwenn li. Li t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ala bagay di, mezanmi, se lanmò!
Then said Samuel, Bring all of you here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 Samyèl di li: -Avèk nepe ou, ou te fè anpil manman pèdi pitit yo. Koulye a, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, manman ou pral pèdi pitit pa li tou. Epi li koupe Agag an moso la devan lotèl Seyè a lavil Gilgal.
And Samuel said, As the sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 Lèfini, Samyèl desann lavil Rama. Sayil menm moute al lakay li lavil Gibeya.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Depi lè sa a, Samyèl pa janm wè wa Sayil ankò jouk li mouri. Men, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou Sayil. Seyè a menm te règrèt deske li te fè Sayil wa pèp Izrayèl la.
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
