I Samuel 15
1 Kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Imbaonnak ni Yahweh tapno pulotanka nga ari kadagiti Israelita a tattaona. Ita, dumngegka kadagiti sasao ni Yahweh.
And Samuel said to Saul: “The Lord sent me, so that I would anoint you as king over his people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the voice of the Lord.
2 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'Saanko a malipatan ti inaramid ti Amalek iti Israel iti panangsupiatna kadakuada iti dalan, idi simmang-atda manipud Egipto.
‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have taken account of all that Amalek has done to Israel, how he stood against him in the way, when he ascended from Egypt.
3 Ita mapanmo rauten ti Amalek ket dadaelem a naan-anay dagiti amin nga adda kadakuada. Awan ti ibatim kadakuada, ngem patayem ida, lalaki man wenno babai, ubing ken maladaga, baka man wenno karnero, kamelio man wenno asno.”'
Now therefore, go and strike Amalek, and demolish all that is his. You shall not spare him, and you shall not covet anything out of the things that are his. Instead, kill from man even to woman, and little ones as well as infants, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
4 Pinaayaban ni Saul dagiti tattao ket binilangna ida idiay siudad ti Telem: 200, 000 a lallaki, ken 10, 000 a lallaki iti Juda.
And so, Saul instructed the people, and he numbered them like lambs: two hundred thousand foot soldiers, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Dimteng ngarud ni Saul iti siudad ti Amalek ket naguray idiay tanap.
And when Saul had arrived as far as the city of Amalek, he placed ambushes at the torrent.
6 Ket kinuna ni Saul kadagiti Kineo, “Mapankayo, pumanawkayo, rummuarkayoiti ayan dagiti Amalekita, tapno saankayo a mairaman kadakuada a madadael. Ta kinaasianyo dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, idi naggapuda idiay Egipto.” Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti Kineo manipud kadagiti Amalekita.
And Saul said to the Kenite: “Go away, withdraw, and descend from Amalek. Otherwise, I will include you with him. For you showed mercy to all the sons of Israel, when they ascended from Egypt.” And so the Kenite withdrew from the midst of Amalek.
7 Ket rinaut ni Saul dagiti Amalekita, manipud Havila agingga idiay Sur, a dayaen ti Egipto.
And Saul struck down Amalek, from Havilah even until you arrive at Shur, which is opposite the region of Egypt.
8 Ket innalana a sibibiag ni Agag nga ari dagiti Amalekita; naan-anay a dinadaelna dagiti amin a tattao babaen iti tadem ti kampilan.
And he apprehended Agag, the king of Amalek, alive. But all the common people he put to death with the edge of the sword.
9 Ngem ni Saul ken dagiti tattao, imbatida ni Agag, kasta met dagiti kasasayaatan a karnero, baka, napalukmeg nga urbon a baka, ken dagiti urbon a karnero. Saanda a dinadael amin a banag a nasayaat. Ngem naan-anay a dinadaelda ti aniaman a banag nga awan serserbina ken awan pategna.
And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments, and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and they were not willing to destroy them. Yet truly, whatever was vile or worthless, these they demolished.
10 Ket immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, kinunana,
Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying
11 “Maladingitanak a pinagbalinko nga ari ni Saul, ta timmallikud isuna manipud iti panangsurotna kaniak ken saanna nga inaramid dagiti bilbilinko.” Nakaunget ni Samuel; nagpatpatnag isuna nga immasug kenni Yahweh.
“It displeases me that I have appointed Saul as king. For he has forsaken me, and he has not fulfilled the work of my words.” And Samuel was greatly saddened, and he cried out to the Lord, all night long
12 Nasapa a bimmangon ni Samuel tapno makisinnarak kenni Saul iti agsapa. Naibaga kenni Samuel, “Dimteng ni Saul idiay Carmel ket nangipatakder isuna iti monumento a para kenkuana, ket nagsubli isuna ket nagturong idiay Gilgal.”
And when Samuel had risen while it was still dark, so that he might go to Saul in the morning, it was reported to Samuel that Saul had arrived at Carmel, and that he had erected for himself a triumphant arch. And, while returning, he had continued on and descended to Gilgal. Therefore, Samuel went to Saul. And Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, from the best of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalek.
13 Ket napan ni Samuel kenni Saul, ket kinuna ni Saul kenkuana, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh! Natungpalkon ti bilin ni Yahweh.”
And when Samuel had gone to Saul, Saul said to him: “You are the blessed of the Lord. I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.”
14 Kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ngarud daytoy a mangmangngegko nga emmak dagiti karnero, ken ti mangmangngegko nga uga dagiti baka?”
And Samuel said, “Then what is this voice of the flocks, which resounds in my ears, and of the herds, which I am hearing?”
15 Simmungbat ni Saul, “Innalada dagitoy manipud kadagiti Amalekita. Ta imbati dagiti tattao ti kasasayaatan dagiti karnero ken baka, tapno maidaton kenni Yahweh a Diosmo. Dagiti dadduma ket naan-anay a dinadaelmi.”
And Saul said: “They have brought these from Amalek. For the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, so that they might be immolated to the Lord your God. Yet truly, the remainder we have slain.”
16 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Sumardengka, ket ibagak kenka no ania ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak iti daytoy a rabii.” Kinuna ni Saul kenkuana, “Agsaoka!”
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Permit me, and I will reveal to you what the Lord has said to me this night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
17 Kinuna ni Samuel, Uray bassitka iti panagkitam, saan kadi a nagbalinka nga ulo dagiti tribu ti Israel? Ket pinulotannaka ni Yahweh nga ari iti entero nga Israel;
And Samuel said: “Was it not when you were little in your own eyes that you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed you as king over Israel.
18 Imbaonnaka ni Yahweh a mapan ket kinunana, 'Mapanka ket naan-anay a dadaelem dagiti managbasol, dagiti Amalekita, ken makirangetka kadakuada agingga a madadaelda.'
And the Lord sent you on the way, and he said: ‘Go and put to death the sinners of Amalek. And you shall fight against them, even unto utter annihilation.’
19 Apay ngarud a saanka a nagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh, ngem ketdi innalam ti nasamsam ket inaramidmo ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh?”
Why then, did you not listen to the voice of the Lord? Instead, you turned to the spoils, and you did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
20 Ket kinuna ni Saul kenni Samuel, “Pudno a nagtulnogak iti timek ni Yahweh, ket napanak iti nangibaonan ni Yahweh kaniak. Natiliwko ni Agag, nga ari ti Amalek, ken naan-anay a dinadaelko dagiti Amalekita.
And Saul said to Samuel: “On the contrary, I did listen to the voice of the Lord, and I walked in the way along which the Lord sent me, and I led back Agag, the king of Amalek, and I put to death Amalek.
21 Ngem innala dagiti tattao ti dadduma iti nasamsam—karnero ken baka, ti kasasayaatan kadagiti banbanag a maiparbeng a madadael, tapno maidaton kenni Yahweh a Diosmo idiay Gilgal.”
But the people took some of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the first-fruits of those things that were slain, to immolate to the Lord their God at Gilgal.”
22 Simmungbat ni Samuel, “Maragsakan kadi unay ni Yahweh iti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti sagut, a kas iti panagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh? Nasaysayaat ti panagtulnog ngem iti daton, ken nasaysayaat ti dumngeg ngem kadagiti taba dagiti karnero.
And Samuel said: “Does the Lord want holocausts and victims, and not instead that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifice. And to heed is greater than to offer the fat of rams.
23 Ta ti saan a panagtulnog ket arigna ti basol a panagpadles, ken ti kinatangken ti ulo ket maiyarig iti kinadangkes ken kinamanagbasol. Gapu ta linaksidmo ti sao ni Yahweh, linaksidnaka met manipud iti panagbalinmo nga ari.”
Therefore, it is like the sin of paganism to rebel. And it is like the crime of idolatry to refuse to obey. For this reason, therefore, because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has also rejected you from being king.”
24 Ket kinuna ni Saul kenni Samuel, “Nagbasolak; ta sinalungasingko dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh ken dagiti sasaom, gapu ta mabutengak kadagiti tattao ken nagtulnogak iti timekda.
And Saul said to Samuel: “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and your words, by fearing the people and obeying their voice.
25 Ita, pangngaasim ta pakawanem ti basolko, ken kumuyogka kaniak nga agsubli tapno maidayawko ni Yahweh.”
But now, I beg you, to bear my sin, and to return with me, so that I may adore the Lord.”
26 Kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Saanak a kumuyog kenka nga agsubli; ta saanmo a tinungpal ti sao ni Yahweh, ket linaksidnaka met ni Yahweh iti panagbalinmo nga ari iti Israel.”
And Samuel said to 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 Iti itatallikud ni Samuel a pumanaw, ginammatan ni Saul ti gayadan ti kagayna, ket napigis daytoy.
And Samuel turned away, so that he might depart. But Saul took hold of the edge of his cloak, and it tore.
28 Kinuna ni Samuel kenkuana, “Arigna a pinisang ni Yahweh ti pagarian ti Israel manipud kenka ita nga aldaw ket intedna daytoy iti karrubam, a nasaysayaat ngem sika.
And Samuel said to him: “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel away from you this day. And he has delivered it to your neighbor, who is better than you are.
29 Kasta met, ti Pigsa ti Israel ket saanto nga agulbod wenno agbaliw ti panunotna; ta isuna ket saan a tao, nga agbaliw ti panunotna.”
Moreover, the One who triumphs within Israel will not spare, and he will not be moved to repentance. For he is not a man, that he should repent.”
30 Ket kinuna ni Saul, “Nagbasolak. Ngem pangngaasim ta raemennak ita iti sangoanan dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattaok ken iti sangoanan ti Israel. Kumuyogka kaniak nga agsubli, tapno agdayawak kenni Yahweh a Diosmo.”
Then he said: “I have sinned. But now, honor me before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, so that I may adore the Lord your God.”
31 Isu a kimmuyog manen ni Samuel kenni Saul, ket dinayaw ni Saul ni Yahweh.
Therefore, Samuel turned again after Saul. And Saul adored the Lord.
32 Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Iyegyo kaniak ni Agag nga ari dagiti Amalekita.” Sikakawar nga immay kenkuana ni Agag ket kinunana, “Awan duadua a ti kinapait ni patay ket limmabasen.”
And Samuel said, “Bring near to me Agag, the king of Amalek.” And Agag, very fat and trembling, was presented to him. And Agag said, “Does bitter death separate in this manner?”
33 Simmungbat ni Samuel, “Adu nga inna ti naawanan iti annak gapu iti kampilanmo, kasta met ti maaramid iti inam, maawanan met iti anak.” Ket rinangrangkay ni Samuel ni Agag iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Gilgal.
And Samuel said, “Just as your sword caused women to be without their children, so will your mother be without her children among women.” And Samuel cut him into pieces, before the Lord at Gilgal.
34 Napan ni Samuel idiay Rama, ket simmang-at ni Saul iti balayna idiay Gabaa.
Then Samuel went away to Ramah. But Saul ascended to his house at Gibeah.
35 Saan a nagpakita ni Samuel kenni Saul agingga iti aldaw ti ipapatayna, ta maladingitan isuna para kenni Saul. Ket maladingitan ni Yahweh ta inaramidna nga ari ni Saul iti entero nga Israel.
And Samuel did not see Saul any more, until the day of his death. Yet truly, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord regretted that he had appointed him as king over Israel.
