1 Samue 15
1 Hagi mago zupa Samueli'a amanage huno Solina asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a nagri hunantege'na Israeli vahe kinima mani'nankura masavena eme fregante'na huhampri kante'noe. Hagi menina Ra Anumzamo'ma kasami'nia nanekea antahise huo.
[One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
2 Hagi amanage huno hanavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Israeli vahe'ma Isipinti'ma neage'za zamazeri haviza hu'naza zantera, Nagra Ameleki vahera zamazeri haviza menina hugahue.
Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
3 Hagi menina vuta Ameleki vahera ha' ome huzmanteta mika zazimia eri haviza nehuta, zamahe fanane hu vagareho. Hagi vene'nema, a'nema, mofavrema, meni kasente'nenia mofavrema bulimakaoma, sipisipima, kemolima, donkinena mika'a zamahe friho.
So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
4 Higeno Soli'a Israeli sondia vahera Telaimi kumate zamazeri atru huno zamazeri antefatgo huno keana, 200 tauseni'a Israeli vahe manizageno, Juda vahera 10 tauseni'a sondia vahe mani'naze.
So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
5 Hagi Soli'a sondia vahe'ane Ameleki vahe ha' huzmantenaku kafo ome ante'za timo'a ko hagage hu'nea karahopi ome fraki'za mani'naze.
Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
6 Anante Soli'a Kenaiti vahekura huno, Ameleki vahera zamatreta viho. Hagi ana'ma osnazana ana vahe'ene tamahe hana hugahue. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama Isipima atre'za karankama neageta tamagra knare tamavutamava huzmanteta zamaza hu'naze. Anage hige'za Kenaiti vahe'mo'za Ameleki vahera zamatre'za vu'naze.
Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
7 Ana hutazageno Soli'ene sondia vahe'amo'zanena Ameleki vahera hara Havira kumateti huzmante'za vu'za Isipi mopamofo zage hanati kaziga Suri kumate uhanati'naze.
Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
8 Hagi kini ne'zamia Agakina ahe ofri amne aze'neri'za, maka vahera bainati kazinkonteti zamahe fri'naze.
Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
9 Hagi Soli'ene sondia vahe'amozanena Agakina nohe'za, knare'ma hu'nea sipisipi afutamine, knare'ma hu'nea bulimakao afutamine, agaho sipisipine, agaho bulimakaone marerirfa fenozanena eri havizana osu'naze. Hianagi haviza huno knare'ma osu'nea zantamina miko zamahe frivaga nere'za eri haviza huvagare'naze.
They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
10 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina amanage huno asami'ne,
Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
11 Solina otroanki kinima azeri oti'noa zankura, narimpamo'a haviza hie. Na'ankure agra amagena hunenamino, osuoma hu'na hunte'noaza nehie. Anagema huno asamigeno'a, Ra Anumzamofontega Samueli'a krafage huno nunamuna huno nevigeno kotu'ne.
“I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
12 Hagi Samueli'a nanterame otino Soli ome kenaku nevigeno, mago'a vahe'mo'za asami'za, Soli'a ha'ma hugatere'nea zante'ma nege'za antahimi haverami Karmel kumate ome retru renteteno, anantetira atreno Gilgali vu'ne.
Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
13 Higeno Samueli'ma Solinte'ma ehanatigeno'a Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugante'nie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ome hugahane huno'ma hunante'nea kante ante'na maka zana huvagare'noe.
When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
14 Hianagi Samueli'a huno, Na'a hige'na sipisipi ageru'ene bulimakao agerura nentahue?
But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
15 Anage higeno Soli'a kenona huno, Sondia vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofontega kresramna vunte'za Ameleki vahe'mokizmi knare'ma hu'nea Sipisipine bulimakaonena avre'za e'nazanki, mika zana zamahe vaganereta eri haviza hu'none.
Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
16 Hagi Samueli'a huno, Taganenka mani'nege'na Ra Anumzamo'ma oki kenage'ma nasami'nea kea kasamineno, huno Solina azeri korigeno Soli'a huno, na'ane hu'nefi nasamio, huno Soli'a hu'ne.
Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
17 Higeno Samueli'a asamino, Kagra kora kagi omane vahe mani'noe hunka kagesa antahi'nananagi, Ra Anumzamo Agra'a Israeli vahe kinia kazeri oti'ne.
Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
18 Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno eri'zankea hugante'ne, kumi zamavu'zamava nehaza Ameleki vahera ha' ome huzamantenka mika zamahe fri vagaro huno hu'ne.
And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
19 Hagi nahigeta Ra Anumzamofo ke'a amagera onteta, knare'nare'zana ha'ma hazafintira ame'amara huta omenerita Ra Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'avara hu'naze?
So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
20 Higeno Soli'a amanage huno Samuelina asami'ne, Hianagi nagra Ra Anumzamofo ke amage ante'na Ra Anumzamo'ma ome hugahanema hunanteazana ome hu'noe. Nagra maka'zana ome zamahe vaganere'na Kini ne' Agakina avre'na e'noe.
Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
21 Hianagi knare'nare'ma hu'nea sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamine, bulimakao afutamina Gilgali Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofontega kresramna vunte'zane hu'za sondia vahe'mo'za avre'za e'naze.
My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
22 Hianagi Samueli'a kenona huno, Ra Anumzamo'a ofama hu'zane kresramna vuzanku musena hugahifi, ke'ama amage'ma ante'zanku musena hugahie? Ra Anumzamofo kema antahino amage ante'zamo'a, ofama hu'zana agateregeno, sipisipi afovama erino eme kresramna vu'zana, Anumzamofo kema antahi'zamo agatere'ne.
But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
23 Hagi kema rutagre avu'avazamo'a zagomareno ke avu'avazamofo kumi kna higeno, kema ontahi'zamo'a, havi anumzante mono hunentea kumikna hu'ne. Kagra Ra Anumzamofo ke rutrage'nanku, Ra Anumzamo'a kini tratetira kagria kazeri atre.
To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
24 Higeno Soli'a huno, Ra Anumzamo'ma kasamigenka nasami'nana kea nagra rutagre'na kumi hu'noe. Na'ankure sondia vaheku koro hu'na ana hu'noe.
Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
25 Hagi nagra nasunku huanki kumi'ni'a atrenenantenka, nagrane ege'na Ra Anumzamofona monora ome huntaneno.
But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
26 Hianagi Samueli'a kenona huno, Nagra kagranena ovugahue. Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo ke rutagrankeno Israeli vahe kinia mago'ene omanisane huno kazeri atre'ne.
But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
27 Hagi Samueli'ma rukrahe huno Solima atreno vu'za higeno, Soli'a Samuelina za'za kena'amofo atupa'are azerinegeno viana tagato hu'ne.
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
28 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a Samueli'a Solina asamino, Ra Anumzamo'a menina kinima mani'nenka Israeli vahe'ma kegavama hu'nana trara erimareno kagrima kagetere'nea ne' ami'ne.
Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
29 Hagi Israeli vahe'mofo Hanavenentake Anumzamo'a, kema hia kemofona ruotagreno, antahi'zama'a ruzahe osu Anumzankino, Agra vahera omani'neankino antahintahi'a zahera osugosie!
And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
30 Hagi Soli'a mago'ene inene huno Samuelinkura anage hu'ne, Kumi hu'noanagi antahinaminka nagrane egeta, vahe'nimokizmine kva vahe zamavugane, Israeli vahe zamavuga Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamofona monora ome huntaneno.
Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
31 Anage higeno Samueli'a avaririno vigeno Soli'a Ra Anumzamofona monora ome hunte'ne.
So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
32 Hagi Samueli'a huno, Ameleki kini ne' Agakina avreta eho, huno Samueli'a hige'za avre'za e'naze. Hagi Agakima avre'za ne'ageno'a, hago hara vagareankino nahe ofrigahaze huno agesa antahi'ne.
Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
33 Hagi Samueli'a Agakina asamino, Kagra rama'a vahe zamahanke'za mofavrezamia omani aneramina rama'a mani'nazankino, kagri'enena negrerana mofavre'a omanigahie. Anage huno nehuno Ra Anumzamofo avuga Samueli'a Agakina aheno Gilgali kumate rukafri makafri hutre'ne.
But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
34 Ana huteno Samueli'a atreno Rama vigeno, Soli'a kuma arega Gibea vu'ne.
Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
35 Hagi mago'ane Solina onke mani'neno Samueli'a fri'ne. Hagi Samueli'a Solinkura rama'a asunku hu'ne. Hagi nahigena Israeli vahe'mofo kinia Solina azeri oti'noe huno nehuno, Ra Anumzamo'a asunku hu'ne.
Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
