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.
Samuel said to Saul, "Jehovah sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
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 Jehovah of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came 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 strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, 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.
Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Dimteng ngarud ni Saul iti siudad ti Amalek ket naguray idiay tanap.
Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the 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.
Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
7 Ket rinaut ni Saul dagiti Amalekita, manipud Havila agingga idiay Sur, a dayaen ti Egipto.
Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before 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.
He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people 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.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
10 Ket immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Samuel, kinunana,
Then the word of Jehovah 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 grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to Jehovah all 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 rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to Jehovah, 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 Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by Jehovah. I have performed the commandment of Jehovah."
14 Kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ngarud daytoy a mangmangngegko nga emmak dagiti karnero, ken ti mangmangngegko nga uga dagiti baka?”
Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
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, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to Jehovah your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
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, "Stay, and I will tell you what Jehovah has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
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;
Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Jehovah anointed you 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 Jehovah sent you on a journey, and said to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
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 obey the voice of Jehovah, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah?"
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.
Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed 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 of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah your God 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.
Samuel said, "Has Jehovah as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than 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.”
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Jehovah, he 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.
Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 Ita, pangngaasim ta pakawanem ti basolko, ken kumuyogka kaniak nga agsubli tapno maidayawko ni Yahweh.”
Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah."
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.”
Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah 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.
As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, 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.
Samuel said to him, "Jehovah has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours 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 Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
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: yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Jehovah your God."
31 Isu a kimmuyog manen ni Samuel kenni Saul, ket dinayaw ni Saul ni Yahweh.
So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped Jehovah.
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.”
Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
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.
Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
34 Napan ni Samuel idiay Rama, ket simmang-at ni Saul iti balayna idiay Gabaa.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in 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 again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And Jehovah grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
