I Samuela 15
1 OLELO aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Na Iehova wau i hoouna mai e poni ia oe i alii maluna o kona poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela: ano hoi, e hoolohe oe i ka leo o na olelo a Iehova.
And Samuel says to Saul, “YHWH sent me to anoint you for king over His people, over Israel; and now, listen to the voice of the words of YHWH.
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o ke kaua, peneia, Ke hoomanao nei au i ka mea a ka Amaleka i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela, i kona ku e mai ia ia ma ke ala, i ka manawa i hele mai ai ia mai Aigupita mai.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have looked after that which Amalek did to Israel, that which he laid for him in the way in his going up out of Egypt.
3 Ano hoi e hele oe, a e luku aku i ka Ameleka, a e luku aku i ko lakou mea a pau loa, mai minamina ia lakou; aka, e luku aku i ke kane a me ka wahine, i ke keiki a me ka mea omo waiu, i ka bipi a me ka hipa, i ke kamelo a me ka hoki.
Now go, and you have struck Amalek, and devoted all that he has, and you have no pity on him, and have put to death from man to woman, from infant to suckling, from ox to sheep, from camel to donkey.”
4 Houluulu ae la o Saula i na kanaka, a helu aku la ia lakou ma Telaima, elua haneri tausani kanaka koa hele wawae, a he umi tausani kanaka o ka Iuda.
And Saul summons the people, and inspects them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand [are] men of Judah.
5 A hele aku la o Saula i ke kulanakauhale o ka Amaleka, a kaua aku la ma ke awawa.
And Saul comes to a city of Amalek, and lays wait in a valley;
6 Olelo aku la o Saula i ka poe Keni, E hele aku, e haalele, e iho ilalo mai waena mai o ka Amaleka, o luku aku auanei au ia oukou me lakou: no ka mea, ua lokomaikai oukou i na mamo a Iseraela, ia lakou i hele mai, mai Aigupita mai. Hele aku la ka poe Keni mailoko aku o ka Amaleka.
and Saul says to the Kenite, “Go, turn aside, go down from the midst of Amalek, lest I consume you with it, and you did kindness with all the sons of Israel, in their going up out of Egypt”; and the Kenite turns aside from the midst of Amalek.
7 Luku aku la o Saula i ka Amaleka ma Havila, a hiki aku i Sura e ku pono ana i Aigupita.
And Saul strikes Amalek from Havilah [to] your going to Shur, which [is] on the front of Egypt,
8 A lawe ola aku la oia ia Agaga ke alii o ka Amaleka, a luku aku la i na kanaka a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua.
and he catches Agag king of Amalek alive, and he has devoted all the people by the mouth of the sword;
9 Aka, o Saula a me na kanaka i hoola aku la ia Agaga, a i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a o ka poe bipi, a i na mea maikai iki iho, a i na keiki hipa, a i na mea maikai a pau, aole i luku aku ia lakou: aka, o na mea i hoowahawahaia, a me na mea ino, ua pau loa ia mea i ka lukuia e lakou.
and Saul has pity—also the people—on Agag, and on the best of the flock, and of the herd, and of the seconds, and on the lambs, and on all that [is] good, and have not been willing to devote them; and all the work, despised and wasted—it they devoted.
10 Alaila hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Samuela, i mai la,
And the word of YHWH is to Samuel, saying,
11 Ke mihi nei au i kuu hoonoho ana ia Saula i alii: no ka mea, ua huli ae ia mai ka hahai ana ia'u, aole ia i hooko i ka'u mau kauoha. Huhu iho la o Samuela; a kahea aku la ia ia Iehova ia po a pau.
“I have regretted that I caused Saul to reign for king, for he has turned back from after Me, and he has not performed My words”; and it is displeasing to Samuel, and he cries to YHWH all the night.
12 I ka wanaao, ala ae la o Samuela e halawai me Saula i kakahiaka, ua haiia mai ia Samuela, i mai la, Ua hiki mai o Saula ma Karemela, a ua kukulu i mea hoomanao nona, a ua huli ae, a ua hele aku, a ua iho ilalo i Gilegala.
And Samuel rises early to meet Saul in the morning, and it is declared to Samuel, saying, “Saul has come to Carmel, and behold, he is setting up a monument to himself, and goes around, and passes over, and goes down to Gilgal.”
13 A hele aku la o Samuela io Saula la; i mai la o Saula ia ia, Pomaikai oe ia Iehova; ua hooko no wau i ka olelo a Iehova.
And Samuel comes to Saul, and Saul says to him, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH; I have performed the word of YHWH.”
14 I aku la o Samuela, No ke aha keia alala ana o na hipa ma kuu pepeiao, a me ka uwo ana o na bipi a'u e lohe nei?
And Samuel says, “And what [is] the noise of this flock in my ears—and the noise of the herd which I am hearing?”
15 I mai la o Saula, Ua lawe mai lakou ia mau mea mai ka Amaleka mai: no ka mea, ua hoola na kanaka i na mea maikai o ka poe hipa, a me na bipi, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova, i kou Akua; a o na mea e ae, ua pau ia makou i ka lukuia.
And Saul says, “They have brought them from Amalek, because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of the herd, in order to sacrifice to your God YHWH, and we have devoted the remnant.”
16 Olelo aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Alia, a e hai aku au ia oe i ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia'u i neia po. I mai la kela ia ia, E hai mai.
And Samuel says to Saul, “Desist, and I declare to you that which YHWH has spoken to me tonight”; and he says to him, “Speak.”
17 I aku la o Samuela, I ka wa i uuku ai oe i kou maka, aole anei i lilo oe i luna no na ohana o ka Iseraela, a i poni mai hoi o Iehova ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela?
And Samuel says, “Are you not, if you [are] little in your own eyes, head of the tribes of Israel? And YHWH anoints you for king over Israel,
18 Hoouna aku la o Iehova ia oe ma ke ala, i aku la, E hele, a e luku loa aku i ka poe hewa o ka Amaleka, a e kaua aku ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia.
and YHWH sends you in the way, and says, Go, and you have devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought against them until they are consumed;
19 No ke aha la oe i hoolohe ole ai i ka leo o Iehova, a ua lawe hewa oe i ka waiwai pio, a ua hana hewa oe imua o Iehova.
and why have you not listened to the voice of YHWH—and fly to the spoil, and do evil in the eyes of YHWH?”
20 I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hoolohe no wau i ka leo o Iehova, a ua hele au ma ke ala a Iehova i hoouna aku ai ia'u, a ua lawe mai au ia Agaga, i ke alii o ka Amaleka, a ua luku loa aku au i ka Amaleka.
And Saul says to Samuel, “Because—I have listened to the voice of YHWH, and I go in the way which YHWH has sent me, and bring in Agag king of Amalek, and I have devoted Amalek;
21 Aka, ua lawe na kanaka i ka waiwai pio, i ka hipa, a me ka bipi, i na mea maikai o na mea laa, i mea e kaumaha aku ai ia Iehova i kou Akua ma Gilegala.
and the people take of the spoil of the flock and herd, the first part of the devoted thing, for sacrifice to your God YHWH in Gilgal.”
22 I aku la o Samuela, Ua like anei ka oluolu o Iehova i na mohaikuni, a i na alana, me ka hoolohe ana i ka leo o Iehova? Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka pono o ka hoolohe ana, mamua o ka mohai, a o ka maliu ana, mamua o ka momona o na hipakane.
And Samuel says, “Has YHWH had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] listening to the voice of YHWH? Behold, listening is better than sacrifice; to give attention than fat of rams;
23 No ka mea, o ke kipi, ua like ia me ka hewa o ka anaana, a o ka hoopaakiki, me ka lapuwale o ka hoomanakii: no kou haalele ana i ka olelo a Iehova, ua haalele mai ia ia oe, aole oe ke alii.
for rebellion [is as] a sin of divination, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and teraphim; because you have rejected the word of YHWH, He also rejects you from [being] king.”
24 I mai la o Saula ia Samuela, Ua hewa au; no ka mea, ua malama ole au i ke kauoha a Iehova, a me kau mau olelo, no kuu makau ana i na kanaka, a ua hoolohe au i ko lakou leo.
And Saul says to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I passed over the command of YHWH, and your words; because I have feared the people, I also listen to their voice;
25 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala mai oe i kuu hewa, a e huli ae me au, a e hoomana aku ia Iehova.
and now, please bear with my sin, and return with me, and I bow myself to YHWH.”
26 I aku la o Samuela ia Saula, Aole au e huli ae me oe; no ka mea, ua haalele oe i ke kauoha a Iehova, a ua haalele mai o Iehova ia oe, aole oe ke alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
And Samuel says to Saul, “I do not return with you; for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH rejects you from being king over Israel.”
27 A i ka huli ana ae o Samuela e hele aku, lalau mai la kela i ka lepa o kona aahu, a nahae iho la ia.
And Samuel turns around to go, and he lays hold on the skirt of his upper robe—and it is torn!
28 I aku la o Samuela ia ia, Ua hoonahae mai o Iehova i ke aupuni mai ou aku la i keia la, a ua haawi aku ia mea i kekahi hoalauna ou, ua oi aku kona pono i kou.
And Samuel says to him, “YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and given it to your neighbor who is better than you;
29 Aole no hoi e hoopunipuni ka Oiaio o ka Iseraela, aole hoi ia e mihi; no ka mea, aole no ia he kanaka, i mihi ai oia.
and also, the Preeminence of Israel does not lie nor relent, for He [is] not a man that He should relent.”
30 I mai la ia, Ua hewa au; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u imua o na lunakahiko o kuu poe kanaka, a imua hoi o ka Iseraela, a e huli hou ae me au, i hoomana aku ai au ia Iehova i kou Akua.
And he says, “I have sinned; now please honor me before [the] elderly of my people and before Israel, and return with me; and I have bowed myself to your God YHWH.”
31 A huli hou ae la o Samuela mahope o Saula, a hoomana aku la o Saula ia Iehova.
And Samuel turns back after Saul, and Saul bows himself to YHWH;
32 Alaila, i aku la o Samuela, E kaina mai o Agaga, ke alii o ka Amaleka i o'u nei: a hele olioli mai o Agaga, i mai la, He oiaio, ua hala aku la ka awaawa o ka make.
and Samuel says, “Bring Agag king of Amalek to me,” and Agag comes to him daintily, and Agag says, “Surely the bitterness of death has turned aside.”
33 I aku la o Samuela, E like me kau pahikaua i hoonele ai i na wahine i keiki ole, pela hoi e hooneleia'i kou makuwahine i ke keiki ole iwaena o na wahine. Oki liilii iho la o Samuela ia Agaga imua o Iehova ma Gilegala.
And Samuel says, “As your sword bereaved women—so is your mother bereaved above women”; and Samuel hews Agag in pieces before YHWH in Gilgal.
34 A hele aku la o Samuela ma Rama; a pii ae la o Saula i kona hale ma Gibea o Saula.
And Samuel goes to Ramath, and Saul has gone to his house—to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Aole hele hou o Samuela e ike ia Saula, a hiki i kona la e make ai; aka, uwe iho la o Samuela ia Saula: a mihi iho la o Iehova i kona hooalii ana ia Saula maluna o ka Iseraela.
And Samuel has not added to see Saul until the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and YHWH regretted that He had caused Saul to reign over Israel.
