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 saith unto Saul, 'Me did Jehovah send to anoint thee for king over His people, over Israel; and now, hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah:
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 Jehovah 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 thou hast smitten Amalek, and devoted all that it hath, and thou hast no pity on it, and hast put to death from man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto sheep, from camel unto ass.'
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 summoneth the people, and inspecteth 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 cometh in unto a city of Amalek, and layeth 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 saith unto the Kenite, 'Go, turn aside, go down from the midst of Amalek, lest I consume thee with it, and thou didst kindness with all the sons of Israel, in their going up out of Egypt;' and the Kenite turneth 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 smiteth Amalek from Havilah — thy going in 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 catcheth Agag king of Amalek alive, and all the people he hath devoted 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 hath 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 Jehovah is unto 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 repented that I caused Saul to reign for king, for he hath turned back from after Me, and My words he hath not performed;' and it is displeasing to Samuel, and he crieth unto Jehovah 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 riseth early to meet Saul in the morning, and it is declared to Samuel, saying, 'Saul hath come in to Carmel, and lo, he is setting up to himself a monument, and goeth round, and passeth over, and goeth 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 cometh in unto Saul, and Saul saith to him, 'Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah; I have performed the word of Jehovah.'
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 saith, 'And what [is] the noise of this flock in mine 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 saith, 'From Amalek they have brought them, because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of the herd, in order to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God, and the remnant we have devoted.'
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 saith unto Saul, 'Desist, and I declare to thee that which Jehovah hath spoken unto me to-night;' and he saith 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 saith, 'Art not thou, if thou [art] little in thine own eyes, head of the tribes of Israel? and Jehovah doth anoint thee 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 Jehovah sendeth thee in the way, and saith, Go, and thou hast devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought against them till 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 hast thou not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah — and dost fly unto the spoil, and dost do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah?'
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 saith unto Samuel, 'Because — I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and I go in the way which Jehovah hath sent me, and bring in Agag king of Amalek, and Amalek I have devoted;
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 taketh of the spoil of the flock and herd, the first part of the devoted thing, for sacrifice to Jehovah thy God 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 saith, 'Hath Jehovah had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? lo, hearkening than sacrifice is better; 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 a sin of divination [is] rebellion, and iniquity and teraphim [is] stubbornness; because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He also doth reject thee 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 saith unto Samuel, 'I have sinned, for I passed over the command of Jehovah, and thy words; because I have feared the people, I also hearken 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, bear, I pray thee, with my sin, and turn back with me, and I bow myself to Jehovah.'
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 saith unto Saul, 'I do not turn back with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth reject thee 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 turneth round to go, and he layeth hold on the skirt of his upper robe — and it is rent!
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 saith unto him, 'Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and given it to thy neighbour who is better than thou;
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 Pre-eminence of Israel doth not lie nor repent, for He [is] not a man to be penitent.'
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 saith, 'I have sinned; now, honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn back with me; and I have bowed myself to Jehovah thy God.'
31 A huli hou ae la o Samuela mahope o Saula, a hoomana aku la o Saula ia Iehova.
And Samuel turneth back after Saul, and Saul boweth himself to Jehovah;
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 saith, 'Bring ye nigh unto me Agag king of Amalek,' and Agag cometh unto him daintily, and Agag saith, 'Surely the bitterness of death hath 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 saith, 'As thy sword bereaved women — so is thy mother bereaved above women;' and Samuel heweth Agag in pieces before Jehovah 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 goeth to Ramath, and Saul hath gone unto 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 hath not added to see Saul till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and Jehovah repented that He had caused Saul to reign over Israel.
