1 Samuelova 15
1 A Samuilo reèe Saulu: Gospod me je poslao da te pomažem za cara nad narodom njegovijem, nad Izrailjem; slušaj dakle rijeèi Gospodnje.
And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: opomenuh se šta je uèinio Amalik Izrailju, kako mu se opro na putu kad je išao iz Misira.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
3 Zato idi, i pobij Amalika, i zatri kao prokleto sve što god ima; ne žali ga, nego pobij i ljude i žene i djecu i što je na sisi i volove i ovce i kamile i magarce.
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 Tada Saul sazva narod, i izbroji ih u Telaimu, i bješe ih dvjesta tisuæa pješaka i deset tisuæa ljudi od Jude.
So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
5 I doðe Saul do grada Amalièkoga, i namjesti zasjedu u potoku.
And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
6 I reèe Saul Kenejima: idite, odvojte se, uklonite se od Amalika, da vas ne bih potro s njima; jer ste vi uèinili milost svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem kad su išli iz Misira. I otidoše Keneji od Amalika.
And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
7 I Saul pobi Amalike od Avile do Sura, koji je prema Misiru.
And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
8 I uhvati Agaga cara Amalièkoga živa, a sav narod njegov pobi oštrijem maèem.
And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
9 I Saul i narod njegov poštedje Agaga i najbolje ovce i najbolje volove i ugojenu stoku i jaganjce i sve što bijaše dobro, i ne htješe pobiti; nego što bijaše zlo i bez cijene, ono samo pobiše.
And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
10 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Samuilu govoreæi:
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
11 Kajem se što sam Saula postavio carem, jer je otstupio od mene, i nije izvršio mojih rijeèi. I rasrdi se Samuilo vrlo, i vikaše ka Gospodu svu noæ.
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
12 I ustavši rano Samuilo poðe pred Saula. I javiše Samuilu govoreæi: Saul doðe u Karmil, i eno podiže sebi spomenik, pa se vrati odande i otide dalje i siðe u Galgal.
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
13 Kad Samuilo doðe k Saulu, reèe mu Saul: blagosloven da si Gospodu! izvršio sam rijeè Gospodnju.
And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
14 A Samuilo reèe: kakva je to bleka ovaca u ušima mojim? i rika volova koju èujem?
And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
15 A Saul reèe: od Amalika dognaše ih; jer narod poštedje najbolje ovce i najbolje volove da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvojemu; ostalo pak pobismo kao prokleto.
And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
16 A Samuilo reèe Saulu: stani da ti kažem što mi je rekao Gospod noæas. Reèe mu: govori.
And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
17 Tada reèe Samuilo: nijesi li bio mali sam u svojim oèima, pak si postao glava plemenima Izrailjevijem, i Gospod te pomaza za cara nad Izrailjem?
And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
18 I Gospod te posla na ovaj put i reèe: idi, pobij grješne Amalike, i vojuj na njih dokle ih ne istrijebite.
And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
19 Zašto dakle ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, nego se naklopi na plijen, i uèini zlo pred Gospodom?
Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
20 A Saul odgovori Samuilu: ta poslušao sam glas Gospodnji, i išao sam putem kojim me posla Gospod, i doveo sam Agaga cara Amalièkoga, a Amalike sam istrijebio.
And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
21 Nego narod uze od plijena ovce i volove, najbolje izmeðu prokletijeh stvari, da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvojemu u Galgalu.
But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
22 Ali Samuilo reèe: zar su mile Gospodu žrtve paljenice i prinosi kao kad se sluša glas njegov? gle, poslušnost je bolja od žrtve i pokornost od pretiline ovnujske.
And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
23 Jer je neposlušnost kao grijeh od èaranja, i nepokornost kao sujevjerstvo i idolopoklonstvo. Odbacio si rijeè Gospodnju, zato je i on tebe odbacio da ne budeš više car.
Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
24 Tada reèe Saul Samuilu: zgriješio sam što sam prestupio zapovijest Gospodnju i tvoje rijeèi; jer pobojah se naroda i poslušah glas njegov.
And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
25 Nego sada oprosti mi grijeh moj, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu.
But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
26 A Samuilo reèe Saulu: neæu se vratiti s tobom, jer si odbacio rijeè Gospodnju, i zato je tebe Gospod odbacio da ne budeš više car nad Izrailjem.
And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27 I Samuilo se okrete da ide, ali ga Saul uhvati za skut od plašta njegova, te se odadrije.
And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 Tada mu reèe Samuilo: odadro je Gospod carstvo Izrailjevo od tebe danas, i dao ga bližnjemu tvojemu, koji je bolji od tebe.
And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
29 I doista junak Izrailjev neæe slagati, niti æe se raskajati; jer nije èovjek da se kaje.
But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
30 A on reèe: zgriješio sam; ali mi sad uèini èast pred starješinama naroda mojega i pred Izrailjem, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu Bogu tvojemu.
Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
31 I vrativši se Samuilo otide za Saulom, i pokloni se Saul Gospodu.
So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
32 Potom reèe Samuilo: dovedite mi Agaga cara Amalièkoga. I doðe k njemu Agag veseo, jer govoraše Agag: zaista, prošla je gorèina smrtna.
And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
33 Ali Samuilo reèe: kako je tvoj maè uèinio te su žene ostale bez djece, tako æe ostati bez djece tvoja majka meðu ženama. I isijeèe Samuilo Agaga pred Gospodom u Galgalu.
And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
34 Potom otide Samuilo u Ramu, a Saul otide kuæi svojoj u Gavaju Saulovu.
And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
35 I Samuilo više ne vidje Saula do svoje smrti, i plakaše Samuilo za Saulom, što se Gospod pokaja što je postavio Saula carem nad Izrailjem.
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
