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 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 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 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 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 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 Pinaayaban ni Saul dagiti tattao ket binilangna ida idiay siudad ti Telem: 200, 000 a lallaki, ken 10, 000 a lallaki iti Juda.
And Saul summons the people, and inspects them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand [are] men of Judah.
5 Dimteng ngarud ni Saul iti siudad ti Amalek ket naguray idiay tanap.
And Saul comes to a city of Amalek, and lays wait in a valley;
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 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 Ket rinaut ni Saul dagiti Amalekita, manipud Havila agingga idiay Sur, a dayaen ti Egipto.
And Saul strikes Amalek from Havilah [to] your going to Shur, which [is] on the front 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 catches Agag king of Amalek alive, and he has devoted all the people by the mouth 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 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 Ket immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, kinunana,
And the word of YHWH is 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.
“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 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 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 Ket napan ni Samuel kenni Saul, ket kinuna ni Saul kenkuana, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh! Natungpalkon ti bilin ni Yahweh.”
And Samuel comes to Saul, and Saul says to him, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH; I have performed the word of YHWH.”
14 Kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ngarud daytoy a mangmangngegko nga emmak dagiti karnero, ken ti mangmangngegko nga uga dagiti baka?”
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 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 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 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!”
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 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 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 Imbaonnaka ni Yahweh a mapan ket kinunana, 'Mapanka ket naan-anay a dadaelem dagiti managbasol, dagiti Amalekita, ken makirangetka kadakuada agingga a madadaelda.'
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 Apay ngarud a saanka a nagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh, ngem ketdi innalam ti nasamsam ket inaramidmo ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh?”
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 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 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 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.”
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 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 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 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.”
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 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 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 Ita, pangngaasim ta pakawanem ti basolko, ken kumuyogka kaniak nga agsubli tapno maidayawko ni Yahweh.”
and now, please bear with my sin, and return with me, and I bow myself to YHWH.”
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 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 Iti itatallikud ni Samuel a pumanaw, ginammatan ni Saul ti gayadan ti kagayna, ket napigis daytoy.
And Samuel turns around to go, and he lays hold on the skirt of his upper robe—and it is torn!
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 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 Kasta met, ti Pigsa ti Israel ket saanto nga agulbod wenno agbaliw ti panunotna; ta isuna ket saan a tao, nga agbaliw ti panunotna.”
and also, the Preeminence of Israel does not lie nor relent, for He [is] not a man that He should relent.”
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.”
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 Isu a kimmuyog manen ni Samuel kenni Saul, ket dinayaw ni Saul ni Yahweh.
And Samuel turns back after Saul, and Saul bows himself to YHWH;
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 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 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 says, “As your sword bereaved women—so is your mother bereaved above women”; and Samuel hews Agag in pieces before YHWH in Gilgal.
34 Napan ni Samuel idiay Rama, ket simmang-at ni Saul iti balayna idiay Gabaa.
And Samuel goes to Ramath, and Saul has gone to his house—to Gibeah of Saul.
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 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.
