1 Samoela 15
1 Hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Nirahe’ Iehovà iraho hañory azo ho mpanjaka’ ondati’e Israeleo; aa le janjiño ty feon-tsara’ Iehovà.
Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of Yahweh’s words.
2 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Tiahiko i nanoe’ i Amalek’ am’ Israeley, ie niatreatre aze amy lalañey te niakats’ i Mitsraime añe.
Yahweh of Armies says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way when he came up out of Egypt.
3 Aa le akia lafao t’i Amaleke, naho mongoro o fanaña’e iabio naho ko anga’o sehanga’e; zamano ze atao lahilahy naho ampela, ty anak’ ajaja ndra te minono, ty añombe naho añondry, ty rameva vaho ty borìke.
Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
4 Kinoi’ i Saole amy zao ondatio vaho niahe’e e Telaime ao, roe-hetse ty am-pandia le nitovoñe rai-ale boake Iehoda.
Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Niheo mb’an-drova’ i Amaleke mb’eo t’i Saole, naho niampitse am-bavatane ao.
Saul came to the city of Amalek, and set an ambush in the valley.
6 Vaho hoe t’i Saole amo nte-Keneo: Akia, mizotsoa, hisitake o nte-Amalekeo, tsy mone ho mongoreko mindre ama’e, amy te nisohe’ areo o ana’ Israele niavotse i Mitsraimeo. Aa le nisitahe’ o nte-Keneo o nte-Amalekeo;
Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for 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 vaho linafa’ i Saole o nte-Amalekeo, boake Kavilà am-piranga’o mb’e Sorey tandrife i Mitsraime.
Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is before Egypt.
8 Rinambe’e veloñe ty Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, fa fonga zinama’e an-dela-pibara ondatio.
He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 Nenga’ i Saole naho ondati’eo t’i Agage, naho ty soa amo mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo naho o vositseo vaho o vik’añondrio, toe ze raha soa iaby, ie tsy nete nimongoreñe; o sirikaeñeo naho o tsy vente’eo ty nimongore’ iareo.
But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, of the cattle, of the fat calves, of the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to utterly destroy them; but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Aa le niheo amy Samoele ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Then Yahweh’s word came to Samuel, saying,
11 Aneñenako t’ie nampijadoñe i Saole ho mpanjaka; fa niambohoa’e, tsy norihe’e naho tsy nanoe’e o nandiliakoo. Nioremèñe amy zao t’i Samoele; le nirovetse amy Iehovà avao amy haleñey.
“It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king, for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.
12 Ie nitroatse maraindray hanalaka amy Saole; le teo ty nisaontsy amy Samoele ty hoe: Nivotrake e Karmele t’i Saole, le nioniñe te nampijadoñe’e eo ty faniahiañe ty vata’e, le nienga boak’ao re nizotso mb’e Gilgale mb’eo.
Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and Samuel was told, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, turned, passed on, and went down to Gilgal.”
13 Niheo mb’ amy Saole mb’eo t’i Samoele; le hoe t’i Saole ama’e: Tahie’ Iehovà irehe; fa nanoeko ty linili’ Iehovà.
Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by Yahweh! I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.”
14 Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aa ino arè o fibabababan’ añondry an-tsofikoo naho ty firohafa’ o añombe tsanoñeko henaneoo?
Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?”
15 Le hoe t’i Saole: nendese’ iareo boak’ amo nte Amalekeo, nasisa’ ondatio ty soa amo añondrio naho amo añombeo hisoroña’ iareo am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; vata’e finongo’ay ty ila’e.
Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the cattle, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God. We have utterly destroyed the rest.”
16 Le hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Eo hey, fa ho volañeko ama’o ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amako aniankale. Le hoe re ama’e, Misaontsia.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” He said to him, “Say on.”
17 Le hoe t’i Samoele: Ndra te kede am-pihaino’o irehe, tsy lohà amo fifokoa’ Israeleo hao? ihe noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israeley?
Samuel said, “Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;
18 Nafanto’ Iehovà ama’o ty lia’o, ami’ ty hoe: Akia, zamano iaby o nte-Amaleke mpanan-kakeoo, naho ialio ampara’ te mongotse.
and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
19 Aa vaho akore te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, te mone niambotraha’o i nikopaheñey naho nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà?
Why then didn’t you obey Yahweh’s voice, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight?”
20 Le hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele: Toe nihaoñeko ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, kanao fa nandenàko i nañiraha’ Iehovà ahiy, naho naseseko atoy t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, vaho nimongoreko o nte-Amalekeo.
Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed Yahweh’s voice, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 Fe nangala’ ondatio boak’ amy kinopakey ty añondry, naho añombe, ty soa amo raha nafatseo hisoroñañe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o e Gilgale.
But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.”
22 Le hoe t’i Samoele: Tea’ Iehovà mandikoatse ty fañaoñañe i fiarañanaña’ Iehovày hao o enga oroañeo naho o soroñeo? Toe zoke’ ty soroñe ty fañorihañe naho lombolombo’ ty solin’ añondrilahy ty fañaoñañe.
Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 Fa hakeom-pamorehañe ty fiola naho hatsivokarañe mitrao-pahasive ty fanjeharañe. Kanao napo’o ty tsara’ Iehovà le naforintse’e ka ty maha-mpanjaka azo.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”
24 Aa hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele, toe aman-kakeo iraho, nandilatse amy lili’ Iehovày naho amo saontsi’oo; toe nihembañako ondatio, naho nihaoñeko o feo’eo.
Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 Aa ehe iheveo i tahikoy vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà.
Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”
26 Fa hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Tsy himpoliako; fa nado’o ty tsara’ Iehovà naho nado’ Iehovà irehe tsy ho mpanjaka’ Israele ka!
Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 Nitolike mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele hañavelo, fe nivontitire’e i saro’ey vaho niriatse.
As Samuel turned around to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 Le hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Fa rinia’ Iehovà ama’o anindroany ty fifeheañe Israele vaho natolo’e ami’ty mpiama’o, ty soa te ama’o
Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29 vaho tsy mandañitse, tsy maneñeñe ty Enge’ Israele, ie tsy ondaty hikinañe.
Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
30 Le hoe re: Aman-kakeo iraho; fe miambane ama’o, miasia ahy añatrefa’ o roandria’ ondatikoo naho aolo’ Israele vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy.
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 Yahweh your God.”
31 Aa le niharo fibalik’ amy Saole t’i Samoele vaho nitalaho am’ Iehovà t’i Saole.
So Samuel went back with Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
32 Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aseseo mb’etoa t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo. Aa le nigolengole mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Agage, fa hoe ty natao’ i Agage: Toe fa añe ty hafairan-kavilasy.
Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me!” Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 Fe hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Manahake ty tsy nañengà’ i fibara’oy ho aman’ anake o rakembao ty hanoañe tsy ho aman’ anake ka i rene’o añivo’ o rakembao. Vaho tinoritori’ i Samoele t’i Agage añatrefa’ Iehovà e Gilgale.
Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women!” Then Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.
34 Nimpoly mb’e Ramà mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele; vaho nionjo mb’ añ’anjomba’e e Gibeate-Saole mb’eo t’i Saole.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Le lia’e tsy nitilike i Saole ka t’i Samoele ampara’ ty andro nihomaha’e; nandala i Saole t’i Samoele vaho niselekaiña’ Iehovà te nanoe’e Mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Saole.
Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned for Saul. Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
