I Samuelis 15
1 et dixit Samuhel ad Saul me misit Dominus ut unguerem te in regem super populum eius Israhel nunc ergo audi vocem Domini
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken you unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 haec dicit Dominus exercituum recensui quaecumque fecit Amalech Israheli quomodo restitit ei in via cum ascenderet de Aegypto
Thus says the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 nunc igitur vade et percute Amalech et demolire universa eius non parcas ei sed interfice a viro usque ad mulierem et parvulum atque lactantem bovem et ovem camelum et asinum
Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and nursing infant, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 praecepit itaque Saul populo et recensuit eos quasi agnos ducenta milia peditum et decem milia virorum Iuda
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 cumque venisset Saul usque ad civitatem Amalech tetendit insidias in torrente
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6 dixitque Saul Cineo abite recedite atque descendite ab Amalech ne forte involvam te cum eo tu enim fecisti misericordiam cum omnibus filiis Israhel cum ascenderent de Aegypto et recessit Cineus de medio Amalech
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for all of you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 percussitque Saul Amalech ab Evila donec venias Sur quae est e regione Aegypti
And Saul stroke the Amalekites from Havilah until you come to Shur, that is opposite to Egypt.
8 et adprehendit Agag regem Amalech vivum omne autem vulgus interfecit in ore gladii
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 et pepercit Saul et populus Agag et optimis gregibus ovium et armentorum et vestibus et arietibus et universis quae pulchra erant nec voluerunt disperdere ea quicquid vero vile fuit et reprobum hoc demoliti sunt
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 factum est autem verbum Domini ad Samuhel dicens
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
11 paenitet me quod constituerim Saul regem quia dereliquit me et verba mea opere non implevit contristatusque est Samuhel et clamavit ad Dominum tota nocte
It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
12 cumque de nocte surrexisset Samuhel ut iret ad Saul mane nuntiatum est Samuheli eo quod venisset Saul in Carmelum et erexisset sibi fornicem triumphalem et reversus transisset descendissetque in Galgala venit ergo Samuhel ad Saul et
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 dixit ei Saul benedictus tu Domino implevi verbum Domini
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be you of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
14 dixitque Samuhel et quae est haec vox gregum quae resonat in auribus meis et armentorum quam ego audio
And Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15 et ait Saul de Amalech adduxerunt ea pepercit enim populus melioribus ovibus et armentis ut immolarentur Domino Deo tuo reliqua vero occidimus
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16 dixit autem Samuhel ad Saul sine me et indicabo tibi quae locutus sit Dominus ad me nocte dixitque ei loquere
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD has said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17 et ait Samuhel nonne cum parvulus esses in oculis tuis caput in tribubus Israhel factus es unxitque te Dominus regem super Israhel
And Samuel said, When you were little in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed you king over Israel?
18 et misit te Dominus in via et ait vade et interfice peccatores Amalech et pugnabis contra eos usque ad internicionem eorum
And the LORD sent you on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19 quare ergo non audisti vocem Domini sed versus ad praedam es et fecisti malum in oculis Domini
Wherefore then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but did fly upon the spoil, and did evil in the sight of the LORD?
20 et ait Saul ad Samuhelem immo audivi vocem Domini et ambulavi in via per quam misit me Dominus et adduxi Agag regem Amalech et Amalech interfeci
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 tulit autem populus de praeda oves et boves primitias eorum quae caesa sunt ut immolet Domino Deo suo in Galgalis
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD your God in Gilgal.
22 et ait Samuhel numquid vult Dominus holocausta aut victimas et non potius ut oboediatur voci Domini melior est enim oboedientia quam victimae et auscultare magis quam offerre adipem arietum
And Samuel said, Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 quoniam quasi peccatum ariolandi est repugnare et quasi scelus idolatriae nolle adquiescere pro eo ergo quod abiecisti sermonem Domini abiecit te ne sis rex
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.
24 dixitque Saul ad Samuhel peccavi quia praevaricatus sum sermonem Domini et verba tua timens populum et oboediens voci eorum
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and your words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 sed nunc porta quaeso peccatum meum et revertere mecum ut adorem Dominum
Now therefore, I pray you, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD.
26 et ait Samuhel ad Saul non revertar tecum quia proiecisti sermonem Domini et proiecit te Dominus ne sis rex super Israhel
And Samuel said unto 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 et conversus est Samuhel ut abiret ille autem adprehendit summitatem pallii eius quae et scissa est
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 et ait ad eum Samuhel scidit Dominus regnum Israhel a te hodie et tradidit illud proximo tuo meliori te
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD has rent the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbour of yours, that is better than you.
29 porro Triumphator in Israhel non parcet et paenitudine non flectetur neque enim homo est ut agat paenitentiam
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
30 at ille ait peccavi sed nunc honora me coram senibus populi mei et coram Israhel et revertere mecum ut adorem Dominum Deum tuum
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray you, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God.
31 reversus ergo Samuhel secutus est Saulem et adoravit Saul Dominum
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
32 dixitque Samuhel adducite ad me Agag regem Amalech et oblatus est ei Agag pinguissimus et dixit Agag sicine separat amara mors
Then said Samuel, Bring all of you here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 et ait Samuhel sicut fecit absque liberis mulieres gladius tuus sic absque liberis erit inter mulieres mater tua et in frusta concidit Samuhel Agag coram Domino in Galgalis
And Samuel said, As the sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 abiit autem Samuhel in Ramatha Saul vero ascendit in domum suam in Gabaath
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 et non vidit Samuhel ultra Saul usque ad diem mortis suae verumtamen lugebat Samuhel Saul quoniam Dominum paenitebat quod constituisset regem Saul super Israhel
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
