1 Samyèl 15
1 Alò, Samuel te di a Saül: “SENYÈ a te voye mwen pou onksyone ou wa sou pèp Li a, sou Israël. Pou sa, koute pawòl a SENYÈ a.
And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the Lord.
2 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Mwen va pini Amalek pou sa li te fè Israël la, jan li te opoze li nan chemen an pandan li t ap vini sòti an Égypte la.
Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now will I take vengeance for what Amalec did to Israel, when he met him in the way as he came up out of Egypt.
3 Alò, ale frape Amalek e detwi tout sa li genyen. Pa fè li gras, men mete a lanmò ni gason, ni fanm, ni timoun ni tibebe, bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.’”
And now go, and thou shalt smite Amalec and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and thou shalt not save anything of him alive, but thou shalt utterly destroy him: and thou shalt devote him and all his to [destruction], and thou shalt spare nothing belonging to him; and thou shalt slay both man and woman, and infant and suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass.
4 Epi Saül te pase lòd rasanble pèp la e te konte yo nan Thelaïm, de-san-mil sòlda apye yo, di-mil mesye Juda yo.
And Saul summoned the people, and he numbered them in Galgala, four hundred thousand regular troops, and Juda thirty thousand regular troops.
5 Saül te rive kote vil Amalek yo, e li te òganize yon anbiskad nan vale a.
And Saul came to the cities of Amalec, and laid wait in the valley.
6 Saül te di a Kenyen yo: “Ale, sòti kite Amalekit yo pou m pa detwi nou ansanm avèk yo; paske nou te montre favè nou anvè tout fis Israël yo lè yo te monte soti an Égypte.” Konsa, Kenyen yo te sòti nan mitan Amalekit yo.
And Saul said to the Kinite, Go, and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put thee with them; for thou dealedst mercifully with the children of Israel when they went up out of Egypt. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7 Konsa, Saül te bat Amalekit yo soti nan Havila pou rive Schur, ki te bò lès a Égypte la.
And Saul smote Amalec from Evilat to Sur fronting Egypt.
8 Li te kaptire vivan Agag, wa a Amalekit yo e te detwi nèt tout pèp la avèk lam nepe.
And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive, and he slew all the people and Hierim with the edge of the sword.
9 Men Saül avèk pèp la te lese Agag viv ansanm avèk pi bèl nan mouton yo, bèf yo, bèt gra yo, jenn mouton yo, tout sa ki te bon, e li pa t dakò pou detwi yo nèt. Men tout sa ki te meprize e san valè, yo te vin detwi nèt.
And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed.
10 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Samuel e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 “Mwen regrèt ke M te fè Saül wa, paske li te vire fè bak nan swiv Mwen, e li pa t akonpli lòd Mwen yo.” Konsa, Samuel te vin twouble e li te kriye fò a SENYÈ a pandan tout nwit lan.
I have repented that I have made Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.
12 Samuel te leve granmmaten pou rankontre Saül. Yo te pale a Samuel, e te di: “Saül te vini nan Carmel e vwala, li te fè monte yon moniman pou tèt li, e li te vire kontinye desann vè Guilgal.”
And Samuel rose early and went to meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his chariot, and came down to Galgala to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalec.
13 Samuel te vini kote Saül, e Saül te di li: “Beni se ou menm pa SENYÈ a! Mwen te akonpli lòd SENYÈ a.”
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [art] thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said.
14 Men Samuel te di li: “Men ki mouton ke m tande k ap blete nan zòrèy mwen la a e ki rèl a bèf ke m tande la a?”
And Samuel said, What then [is] the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear?
15 Saül te di: “Yo te mennen yo soti nan Amalekit yo, paske pèp la te kite pi bèl nan mouton avèk bèf yo pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la. Men tout rès nou te genyen an nou te detwi l nèt.”
And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.
16 Alò, Samuel te di: “Tann e kite mwen menm di ou sa ke SENYÈ a te di mwen yèswa.” Epi li te di li: “Pale”!
And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on.
17 Samuel te di: “Èske se pa vrè, ke malgre ou te piti nan pwòp zye pa ou, ke ou te devni gran chèf a tribi Israël yo?
And Samuel said to Saul, Art thou not little in his eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? and [yet] the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18 Epi ke SENYÈ a te voye ou fè yon misyon e te di: ‘Ale detwi pechè yo nèt; Amalekit yo, e batay kont yo jiskaske yo fin disparèt.’
And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go, and utterly destroy: thou shalt slay the sinners against me, [even] the Amalekites; and thou shalt war against them until thou have consumed them.
19 Pou sa, poukisa ou pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a; men ou te kouri sou piyaj la, e te fè sa ki mal nan zye SENYÈ a?”
And why didst not thou hearken to the voice of the Lord, but didst haste to fasten upon the spoils, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?
20 Alò Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te obeyi vwa SENYÈ a e te fè misyon nan sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen an e te mennen retounen Agag, wa Amalek la, e mwen te detwi nèt tout Amalekit yo.
And Saul said to Samuel, Because I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalec, and I destroyed Amalec.
21 Men pèp la te pran nan piyaj mouton avèk bèf yo, pi bèl nan sa ki te anba ve pou destriksyon an, pou fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a nan Guilgal.”
But the people took of the spoils the best flocks and herds [out] of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Galgal.
22 Samuel te di: “Èske SENYÈ a twouve menm fòs plezi nan ofrann brile yo avèk sakrifis yo ke li jwenn nan obeyi vwa SENYÈ a? Veye byen, obeyisans pi bon ke sakrifis e koute pase grès a belye yo.
And Samuel said, Does the Lord take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? behold, obedience [is] better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams.
23 Paske rebelyon se tankou peche divinasyon e refize swiv lòd se tankou inikite avèk idolatri. Akoz ou te refize pawòl SENYÈ a, Li osi te gentan refize ou kòm wa.”
For sin is [as] divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject thee from being king over Israel.
24 Alò, Saül te di a Samuel: “Mwen te peche; Mwen te vrèman transgrese kòmand SENYÈ a e pawòl a ou menm yo; paske mwen te pè pèp la e mwen te koute vwa pa yo.
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and thy direction; for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
25 Alò, pou sa, souple, padone peche mwen e retounen avè m pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a.”
And now remove, I pray thee, my sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
26 Men Samuel te di a Saül: “Mwen p ap retounen avè w; paske ou te rejte pawòl a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te gentan rejte ou kòm wa sou Israël.”
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn back with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel.
27 Lè Samuel te vire pou l sòti, Saül te sezi bò manto li, e li te vin chire.
And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it.
28 Epi Samuel te di li: “SENYÈ a te dechire wayòm ou an, e Li te bay li a vwazen ou an, ki pi bon pase ou.
And Samuel said to him, The Lord has rent thy kingdom from Israel out of thy hand this day, and will give it to thy neighbour who is better than thou.
29 Anplis, Glwa Israël La p ap manti, ni chanje tèt Li. Paske Li pa yon nonm pou Li ta chanje tèt Li.”
And Israel shall be divided to two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent.
30 Alò li te di: “Mwen te peche; souple, onore mwen koulye a devan ansyen a pèp mwen yo ak devan Israël e retounen avè m, pou m kapab adore SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.”
And Saul said, I have sinned; yet honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of Israel, and before my people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God.
31 Konsa, Samuel te swiv Saül retounen e Saül te adore SENYÈ a.
So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord.
32 Alò, Samuel te di: “Mennen ban m Agag, wa Amalekit yo.” Epi Agag te vin kote li avèk kè kontan. Akoz Agag t ap di: “Asireman gou anmè lanmò a gen tan pase.”
And Samuel said, Bring me Agag the king of Amalec: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is death thus bitter?
33 Men Samuel te di: “Menm jan ke nepe ou te fè fanm yo vin manke pitit; konsa, manman ou va vin manke pitit pami fanm yo.” Epi Samuel te koupe Agag an mòso devan SENYÈ a nan Guilgal.
And Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall thy mother be made childless among women: and Samuel slew Agag before the Lord in Galgal.
34 Samuel te ale Rama; men Saül te monte vè lakay li nan Guibea ki pou li.
And Samuel departed to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house at Gabaa.
35 Samuel pa t wè Saül ankò jis jou li te mouri an. Paske Samuel te gen anpil tristès akoz Saül. Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè Saül wa sou Israël.
And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
