1 Saamuʼeel 15
1 Saamuʼeelis Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Akka ati saba isaa Israaʼel irratti mootii taatuuf akka ani si dibuuf Waaqayyo na ergeera; kanaafuu ati amma dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼi.
Afterward Samuel said vnto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee King ouer his people, ouer Israel: nowe therefore obey the voyce of the wordes of the Lord.
2 Waaqayyo Waan Hundumaa Dandaʼu akkana jedha: ‘Waan isaan yeroo Israaʼel Gibxii baʼetti karaa irratti isaaniin mormuudhaan godhan sanaaf ani Amaaleqoota nan adaba.
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, howe they laide waite for the in ye way, as they came vp from Egypt.
3 Amma dhaqii Amaaleqoota dhaʼiitii waan kan isaanii taʼe hunda barbadeessi. Isaan hin hambisin; dhiirotaa fi dubartoonni, ijoollee fi daaʼimman, loonii fi hoolota, gaalawwanii fi harroota fixi.’”
Nowe therefore goe, and sinite Amalek, and destroy ye all that perteyneth vnto them, and haue no compassion on them, but slay both man and woman, both infant and suckling, both oxe, and sheepe, both camell, and asse.
4 Kanaafuu Saaʼol iddoo Xilaaʼiim jedhamutti namoota walitti qabee lakkaaʼe; isaanis loltoota lafoo kuma dhibba lamaa fi namoota Yihuudaa kuma kudhan turan.
And Saul assembled ye people, and nombred them in Telaim, two hundreth thousande footemen, and ten thousand men of Iudah.
5 Saaʼolis gara magaalaa Amaaleqootaa dhaqee sulula tokko keessa riphee taaʼe.
And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and set watch at the riuer.
6 Innis Qeenotaan, “Akka ani Amaaleqoota wajjin isin hin balleessineef achi hiiqaa; isaan irraas fagaadhaa; isin yeroo Israaʼeloonni hundi Gibxii baʼanitti waan gaarii isaaniif gootaniirtuutii” jedhe. Kanaafuu Qeenonni Amaaleqoota irraa fagaatan.
And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 Ergasii Saaʼol Hawiilaa hamma Shuuri kan baʼa Gibxiitti argamuutti Amaaleqoota dhaʼe.
So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt,
8 Innis Agaag mooticha Amaaleqootaa utuma lubbuun jiruu boojiʼe; namoota isaa hundas guutumaan guutuutti goraadeen fixe.
And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites aliue, and destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 Saaʼolii fi loltoonni isaa garuu Agaagin, hoolotaa fi loon, jabboota coccoomoo fi xobbaallaawwan hoolaa, waan gaarii hundas ni hambisan. Isaan kana guutumaan guutuutti fixuun fedhii isaanii hin turre; garuu waan tuffatamaa fi dadhabaa hunda guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better sheepe, and the oxen, and the fat beasts, and the lambes, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them: but euery thing that was vile and nought worth, that they destroyed.
10 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Saamuʼeel dhufe;
Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying,
11 “Ani Saaʼolin mootii gochuu kootti gaabbeera; inni sababii narraa garagaleef ajaja koo hin eegne.” Saamuʼeelis akka malee dhiphatee halkan sana guutuu Waaqayyotti booʼaa bule.
It repenteth me that I haue made Saul King: for he is turned from me, and hath not performed my commandements. And Samuel was mooued, and cryed vnto the Lord all night.
12 Saamuʼeelis ganama bariin kaʼee Saaʼolin arguu deeme; taʼus, “Saaʼol gara Qarmeloos deemeera. Achittis erga soodduu yaadannoo isaa dhaabbatee booddee gara Gilgaalitti gad buʼeera” jedhamee itti himame.
And when Samuel arose early to meete Saul in the morning, one tolde Samuel, saying, Saul is gone to Carmel: and beholde, he hath made him there a place, from whence he returned, and departed, and is gone downe to Gilgal.
13 Yeroo Saamuʼeel Saaʼol bira dhaqettis Saaʼol, “Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu! Ani ajaja Waaqayyoo eegeera” jedhe.
Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said vnto him. Blessed be thou of the Lord, I haue fulfilled the commandement of the Lord.
14 Saamuʼeel garuu, “Yoos marʼachuun hoolotaatii fi barooduun sangootaa kan ani dhagaʼu kun maali ree?” jedhe.
But Samuel saide, What meaneth then the bleating of the sheepe in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare?
15 Saaʼolis, “Loltootatu Amaaleqoota irraa boojiʼee isaan fide; hoolotaa fi loon keessaa kanneen filatamoo taʼan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa gochuuf hambisaniiru; nu garuu kanneen hafan guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessineerra” jedhee deebise.
And Saul answered, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen to sacrifice them vnto the Lord thy God, and the remnant haue we destroyed.
16 Saamuʼeelis Saaʼoliin, “Afachu! Ani waan Waaqayyo eda halkan natti hime sittin himaa” jedhe. Saaʼolis deebisee, “Natti himi” jedhe.
Againe Samuel saide to Saul, Let me tell thee what the Lord hath saide to me this night. And he said vnto him, Say on.
17 Saamuʼeelis akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati ija ofii keetii duratti xinnaa kan taatu iyyuu bulchaa gosa Israaʼel hin taanee? Waaqayyos Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera.
Then Samuel saide, When thou wast litle in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel.
18 Inni, ‘Dhaqiitii Amaaleqoota cubbamoota sana guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessi; hamma isaan fixxuttis isaan waraani’ jedhee si ergee ture.
And the Lord sent thee on a iourney, and saide, Goe, and destroy those sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill thou destroy them.
19 Ati maaliif Waaqayyoof hin ajajamne ree? Maaliif gaggabdee boojuu irratti lafa dhooftee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjette?”
Nowe wherefore hast thou not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, but hast turned to the pray, and hast done wickedly in the sight of the Lord?
20 Saaʼolis akkana jedhee deebise; “Ani Waaqayyoof ajajameera; gara Waaqayyo itti na erges dhaqeera. Ani Amaaleqoota guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessee mootii isaanii Agaagin fideera.
And Saul saide vnto Samuel, Yea, I haue obeyed the voyce of the Lord, and haue gone the way which the Lord sent me, and haue brought Agag the King of Amalek, and haue destroyed the Amalekites.
21 Loltoonni garuu Gilgaalitti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii boojuu sana keessaa waan filatamaa Waaqaaf qulqulleeffame keessaa hoolotaa fi loon fudhatan.”
But the people tooke of the spoyle, sheepe, and oxen, and the chiefest of the things which shoulde haue bene destroyed, to offer vnto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
22 Saamuʼeelis deebisee akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo akka yeroo sagalee isaatiif ajajamanitti gammadu sana, aarsaa gubamuu fi qalmatti ni gammadaa? Ajajamuutu aarsaa caala; dhagaʼuunis cooma korbeessa hoolaa caala.
And Samuel saide, Hath the Lord as great pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as when the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? beholde, to obey is better then sacrifice, and to hearken is better then the fatte of rammes.
23 Fincilli akka cubbuu falfala hojjechuu ti; mata jabinnis akka hammina Waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffachuu ti. Waan ati dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatteef, anis akka ati mootii hin taane si tuffadheera.”
For rebellion is as the sinne of withcraft, and transgression is wickednesse and idolatrie. Because thou hast cast away the worde of the Lord, therefore hee hath cast away thee from being King.
24 Saaʼolis Saamuʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Ani cubbuu hojjedheera. Ani ajaja Waaqayyootii fi dubbii kee fudhachuu dideera. Ani waanan namoota sodaadheef isaanii ajajameera.
Then Saul sayde vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voyce.
25 Ammas cubbuu koo naa dhiisiitii akka ani Waaqayyoof sagaduuf na wajjin deebiʼi.”
Nowe therefore I pray thee, take away my sinne, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord.
26 Saamuʼeel immoo, “Ani si wajjin hin deebiʼu. Ati dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatteerta; Waaqayyos saba Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼuu kee tuffateera!” jedheen.
But Samuel saide vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast cast away the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath cast away thee, that thou shalt not be King ouer Israel.
27 Akkuma Saamuʼeel deemuuf of irra garagaleenis Saaʼol handaara uffata isaa qabe; uffanni isaas ni tarsaʼe.
And as Samuel turned himselfe to goe away, he caught the lappe of his coate, and it rent.
28 Saamuʼeelis akkana isaan jedhe; “Waaqayyo harʼa mootummaa Israaʼel sirraa tarsaasee ollaa kee kan si caalu tokkoof kenneera.
Then Samuel saide vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to thy neighbour, that is better then thou.
29 Inni ulfina Israaʼel taʼe sun takkumaa hin sobu yookaan yaada isaa hin geeddaru; akka yaada isaa hin geeddarreef inni nama miti.”
For in deede the strength of Israel will not lye nor repent: for hee is not a man that hee should repent.
30 Saaʼol immoo deebisee, “Ani cubbuu hojjedheera. Garuu fuula maanguddoota saba kootiitii fi fuula Israaʼel duratti ulfina naa kenni; akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif sagaduufis kottuu na wajjin deebiʼi” jedhe.
Then he saide, I haue sinned: but honour mee, I pray thee, before the Elders of my people, and before Israel, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord thy God.
31 Saamuʼeel akkasiin Saaʼol wajjin deebiʼe; Saaʼolis Waaqayyoof sagade.
So Samuel turned againe, and followed Saul: and Saul worshipped the Lord.
32 Saamuʼeelis, “Agaag mootii Amaaleqootaa sana as naa fidaa” jedhe. Agaagis, “Hadhaan duʼaa dhugumaan narraa fagaateera” jedhee gammadaa gara isaa dhufe.
Then saide Samuel, Bring yee hither to me Agag ye King of the Amalekites: and Agag came vnto him pleasantly, and Agag saide, Truely the bitternesse of death is passed.
33 Saamuʼeel garuu, “Akkuma goraadeen kee dubartoota ilmoo malee hambise sana, haati kees dubartoota keessaa ilmoo malee hafti” jedhe. Saamuʼeelis Gilgaalitti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti Agaagin ciccire.
And Samuel sayde, As thy sworde hath made women childlesse, so shall thy mother bee childelesse among other women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 Ergasiis Saamuʼeel gara Raamaa deeme; Saaʼol garuu gara mana ofii isaa, gara Gibeʼaa Saaʼolitti qajeele.
So Samuel departed to Ramah, and Saul went vp to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Saamuʼeel hamma gaafa duʼeetti deebiʼee Saaʼolin hin argine; Saamuʼeel garuu Saaʼoliif booʼaa ture. Waaqayyos Israaʼel irratti Saaʼolin mootii gochuu isaatti ni gaabbe.
And Samuel came no more to see Saul vntill the day of his death: but Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord repented that hee made Saul King ouer Israel.
