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.
Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words 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 says the LORD of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he 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 go and strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
4 Tada Saul sazva narod, i izbroji ih u Telaimu, i bješe ih dvjesta tisuæa pješaka i deset tisuæa ljudi od Jude.
Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 I doðe Saul do grada Amalièkoga, i namjesti zasjedu u potoku.
Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
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.
Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
7 I Saul pobi Amalike od Avile do Sura, koji je prema Misiru.
Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
8 I uhvati Agaga cara Amalièkoga živa, a sav narod njegov pobi oštrijem maèem.
He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people 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.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
10 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Samuilu govoreæi:
Then 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 grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to 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 Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to the LORD, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
13 Kad Samuilo doðe k Saulu, reèe mu Saul: blagosloven da si Gospodu! izvršio sam rijeè Gospodnju.
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by the LORD. I have performed the commandment of the LORD."
14 A Samuilo reèe: kakva je to bleka ovaca u ušima mojim? i rika volova koju èujem?
Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
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, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
16 A Samuilo reèe Saulu: stani da ti kažem što mi je rekao Gospod noæas. Reèe mu: govori.
Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
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?
Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you 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 you on a journey, and said to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
19 Zašto dakle ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, nego se naklopi na plijen, i uèini zlo pred Gospodom?
Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight 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.
Saul said to Samuel, "But 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 Amalek.
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 spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."
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.
Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than 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.
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you 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.
Saul said to 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 Nego sada oprosti mi grijeh moj, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu.
Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship 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.
Samuel said to 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 I Samuilo se okrete da ide, ali ga Saul uhvati za skut od plašta njegova, te se odadrije.
As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 Tada mu reèe Samuilo: odadro je Gospod carstvo Izrailjevo od tebe danas, i dao ga bližnjemu tvojemu, koji je bolji od tebe.
Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29 I doista junak Izrailjev neæe slagati, niti æe se raskajati; jer nije èovjek da se kaje.
And also the Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
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 please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."
31 I vrativši se Samuilo otide za Saulom, i pokloni se Saul Gospodu.
So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped 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.
Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
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.
Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 Potom otide Samuilo u Ramu, a Saul otide kuæi svojoj u Gavaju Saulovu.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah.
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 did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And the LORD grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
