Sie Samuel 15
1 Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Nga pa mwet se LEUM GOD el supwama in mosrwekomla tuh kom in tokosra lun mwet Israel. Inge, porongo ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.
2 El ac fah kai mwet Amalek ke sripen mwet matu lalos tuh aklokoalokye mwet Israel ke elos tuku liki facl Egypt.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt.
3 Fahla ac mweuni mwet Amalek ac kunausla ma lalos nukewa. Nikmet filiya kutena ma. Uniya mwet nukewa: mukul, mutan, tulik srisrik, tulik fusr, oayapa cow, sheep, camel, ac donkey.”
Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
4 Ouinge Saul el pangoneni mwet mweun lal ac oakalosla in acn Telem. Oasr mukul luofoko tausin sin mwet Israel ac mukul singoul tausin sin mwet Judah.
So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
5 Na Saul ac mwet lal som nu ke siti lun mwet Amalek ac wikwik soano ke infacl paola soko.
Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.
6 El supwala kas in sensenkakin mwet Ken, mweyen mwet matu lalos tuh kulang nu sin mwet Israel ke elos tuku liki facl Egypt. El sapkin ouinge, “Kowos in som liki inmasrlon mwet Amalek, tuh nga in tia unikowosi ke nga ac mweuni mwet Amalek.” Ouinge, mwet Ken elos som liki inmasrlon mwet Amalek.
And he warned the Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the Amalekites. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
7 Saul el kutangla mwet Amalek. El mweunelos, mutawauk in acn Havilah fahla nu Shur, su oan kutulap in acn Egypt.
Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
8 El sruokilya Agag, tokosra lun mwet Amalek, ke el srakna moul, ac el uniya mwet nukewa sayal.
He captured Agag king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword.
9 Tusruktu Saul ac mwet lal elos tiana unilya Tokosra Agag. Elos tia pac uniya sheep ac cow wowo, oayapa cow fusr ac sheep fusr, ku kutena ma wo saya. Elos kunausla ma wangin sripa ac ma tia ku in sifil orekmakinyuk.
Saul and his troops spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to destroy them, but they devoted to destruction all that was despised and worthless.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Samuel,
Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
11 “Nga auli lah nga tuh oru Saul el tokosra. El forla likiyu ac el tia akos ma sap luk.” Samuel el arulana kasrkusrak, ac el kwafe nu sin LEUM GOD ke fong nufon se.
“I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night.
12 Toangna in len tok ah el som sokol Saul. El lohng mu Saul el som nu Carmel, acn se ma el tuh tulokunak sie mwe esmakin kacl sifacna, na tok el som nu Gilgal.
Early in the morning Samuel got up to confront Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel, and behold, he has set up a monument for himself and has turned and gone down to Gilgal.”
13 Samuel el utyak nu yorol Saul, ac Saul el paingul ac fahk, “Samuel, LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom! Nga akos na ma sap lun LEUM GOD.”
When Samuel reached him, Saul said to him, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD’s instructions.”
14 Na Samuel el siyuk, “Na efu nga ku lohng pusren cow ac pusren sheep?”
But Samuel replied, “Then what is this bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
15 Saul el topuk ac fahk, “Ma mwet luk elos use yurin mwet Amalek me. Elos srela sheep wowo ac cow wowo tuh elos in kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD lom, ac funu ma nukewa saya, kut kunausla nufon.”
Saul answered, “The troops brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, but the rest we devoted to destruction.”
16 Na Samuel el fahk, “Kolya ngan fahk nu sum ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik fong.” Ac Saul el fahk, “Fahkma nu sik.”
“Stop!” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
17 Samuel el fahk, “Kom finne pusisel in nunak lom sifacna, tusruktu kom pa mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel. LEUM GOD El mosrwekomla tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel,
And Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, have you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel
18 ac el supwekomla ac sapkin nu sum tuh kom in kunausla mwet koluk, mwet Amalek. El tuh fahk nu sum kom in mweunelos nwe ke na kom onelosla nufon.
and sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinful Amalekites. Fight against them until you have wiped them out.’
19 Na efu ku kom tia aksol? Efu kom ku oasroasr in eis ma wap ac oru ma in aktoasrye LEUM GOD?”
So why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you rush upon the plunder and do evil in the sight of the LORD?”
20 Ac Saul el fahk, “Nga akos LEUM GOD. Nga som oana El supweyula, ac nga usalu Tokosra Agag ac onela mwet Amalek nufon.
“But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction.
21 Tusruktu mwet luk elos tia onela sheep ac cow wowo ma elos sruokya, a elos use ma inge nu Gilgal in orek mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lom.”
The troops took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of the things devoted to destruction, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at Gilgal.”
22 Na Samuel el fahk, “Pia kac ma God El lungse uh — akosten, ku mwe sang ac mwe kisa? Liye, akos wo liki mwe kisa, ac porongo wo liki sheep fact.
But Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.
23 Orekma in lain God, koluk oana inutnut; ac inse fulat koluk oana alu nu ke ma sruloala. Ke sripen kom lain ma sap lun LEUM GOD, El oayapa lain kom, ac sisla wal in tokosra liki kom.”
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.”
24 Ac Saul el fahk, “Pwaye, nga orekma koluk. Nga tia akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, oayapa kas lom. Nga sangeng sin mwet luk inge ac nga wi na lungse lalos.
Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; I have transgressed the LORD’s commandment and your instructions, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 Tusruktu inge, nga kwafe sum, nunak munas nu sik ke ma koluk luk, ac wiyu folokla, tuh nga fah ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD.”
Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”
26 Samuel el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac fah tia wi kom folok. Kom tuh pilesru ma sap lun LEUM GOD, na El oayapa pilesrekom ac siskomla tuh kom in tia tokosra lun mwet Israel.”
“I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as king over Israel.”
27 Ke Samuel el forla in folok, Saul el sruokya nuknuk lal Samuel ah twe mihsalik.
As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.
28 Na Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “LEUM GOD El seya tokosrai lun Israel liki kom misenge, ac sang nu sin sie mwet su wo liki kom.
So Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
29 Tuh God Fulat lun Israel El tia kikiap ku ekyek nunak lal. El tia mwet — El tia ikikil nunak lal uh.”
Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.”
30 Saul el fahk, “Pwaye nga orekma koluk, tusruktu nga siyuk kom in nunak munas sunakinyu ye mutun mwet kol lun mwet luk ac mwet Israel nukewa. Wiyu folok tuh nga fah ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lom.”
“I have sinned,” Saul replied. “Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD your God.”
31 Ouinge Samuel el welul folokla, ac Saul el alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
32 Samuel el fahk, “Usalu Tokosra Agag nu yuruk.” Na Tokosra Agag el fahsr nu yorol ac el rarrar ke sangeng. In nunak lal sifacna el mu, “Pwaye lah ma na mwen se pa misa uh!”
Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him cheerfully, for he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 Ac Samuel el fahk, “Oana ke cutlass nutum an oru nina puspis in wanginla tulik natu, ouinge nina kiom sifacna ac fah wanginla pac tulik natul.” Ac Samuel el pakpakilya Tokosra Agag nu ke ip pukanten ye mutun loang uh in Gilgal.
But Samuel declared: “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.
34 Na Samuel el som nu Ramah, ac Tokosra Saul el folok nu yen sel in acn Gibeah.
Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
35 In lusenna moul lal Samuel tukun pacl se ingela, el tia sifil liyal Tokosra Saul, tusruktu el arulana asor kacl. LEUM GOD El auli lah El tuh oru Saul el tokosra fin Israel.
And to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
