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 unto Saul, It was, me, Yahweh sent to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel, —now, therefore, hearken thou to the voice of Yahweh’s words.
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 Yahweh of hosts, I have well considered what Amalek did unto Israel—how he lay in wait for 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 smite Amalek, and devote ye to destruction all that he hath, and spare him not, —but thou shalt slay both man and woman, both child and suckling, both ox and sheep, both 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 then Saul called together 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.
And Saul came as far as the city of Amalek, —and stirred up strife in the ravine.
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.
Then said Saul unto the Kenites—Go, depart, get you down out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them, yet, ye, dealt in lovingkindness, with all the sons of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed out of the midst of the Amalekites.
7 I Saul pobi Amalike od Avile do Sura, koji je prema Misiru.
And Saul smote Amalek, —from Havilah, till thou enterest Shur, which is over against Egypt.
8 I uhvati Agaga cara Amalièkoga živa, a sav narod njegov pobi oštrijem maèem.
And he took Agag, king of Amalek, alive, —but, all the people, devoted he to destruction at 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 oxen and the lambs, also the fatlings, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction, —but, all the cattle that was contemptible and diseased, that, devoted they to destruction.
10 Zato doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Samuilu govoreæi:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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.
I am grieved that I made Saul to be king, for he hath turned back from following me, and, my words, hath he not established. And it was vexing to Samuel, so that he made outcry unto Yahweh, all the 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 having come to Carmel, and lo! having set him up a sign, hath gone round, and passed over, and descended to Gilgal.
13 Kad Samuilo doðe k Saulu, reèe mu Saul: blagosloven da si Gospodu! izvršio sam rijeè Gospodnju.
And Samuel came unto Saul, —and Saul said unto him—Blessed, be thou by Yahweh: I have established the word of Yahweh.
14 A Samuilo reèe: kakva je to bleka ovaca u ušima mojim? i rika volova koju èujem?
And Samuel said, What then is this bleating of sheep, in mine ears, —and the lowing of oxen, which I can 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.
Then said Saul—From the Amalekites, have they brought them in; in that the people spared the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Yahweh thy God, —but, the rest, have we devoted to destruction.
16 A Samuilo reèe Saulu: stani da ti kažem što mi je rekao Gospod noæas. Reèe mu: govori.
Then said Samuel unto Saul, Stay, and let me tell thee, that which Yahweh hath spoken unto 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, Was it not, when, little, thou wast in thine own eyes, that thou wast made, head of the tribes of Israel, —and that Yahweh 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.
So then Yahweh sent thee on a journey, —and said—Go, and devastate to destruction, the sinners—the Amalekites, and make war against them, until they have consumed them.
19 Zašto dakle ne posluša glasa Gospodnjega, nego se naklopi na plijen, i uèini zlo pred Gospodom?
Wherefore, then, didst thou not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, —but didst rush upon the spoil, and do that which was wrong in the sight of Yahweh?
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 unto Samuel—As indeed I have hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, and have been on the journey on which Yahweh sent me, —and have brought in Agag, king of Amalek, and, the Amalekites, have I devoted to destruction.
21 Nego narod uze od plijena ovce i volove, najbolje izmeðu prokletijeh stvari, da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvojemu u Galgalu.
And the people took, of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things so devoted, —to sacrifice unto Yahweh thy 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.
Then said Samuel—Doth that which is pleasing unto Yahweh consist in ascending-offerings and sacrifices, So much as in hearkening unto the voice of Yahweh? Lo! to hearken, is, better, than, sacrifice. And, to give heed, 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, as the sin of divination, is, rebelliousness, —and, as transgression with household gods, is, stubbornness, —Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahweh, therefore hath he 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.
Then said Saul unto Samuel—I have sinned; for I have transgressed the bidding of Yahweh, and thy words, —for I feared the people, and hearkened unto their voice.
25 Nego sada oprosti mi grijeh moj, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu.
Now, therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, —and turn again with me, that I may bow down unto Yahweh.
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 unto Saul, I will not turn again with thee, —Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahweh, therefore hath Yahweh 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, when Samuel turned about to go away, then laid he hold of the skirt of his robe, and it was 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 unto him, Yahweh hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee, to-day, —and will give it unto a neighbour of thine, who is better than thou.
29 I doista junak Izrailjev neæe slagati, niti æe se raskajati; jer nije èovjek da se kaje.
Moreover also, the Eminence of Israel, will not lie, neither will he repent, —For no, iron of earth, is, he, to 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, Now, honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, —and turn again with me, then will I bow down unto Yahweh thy God.
31 I vrativši se Samuilo otide za Saulom, i pokloni se Saul Gospodu.
So then Samuel turned again, after Saul—and Saul bowed down unto Yahweh.
32 Potom reèe Samuilo: dovedite mi Agaga cara Amalièkoga. I doðe k njemu Agag veseo, jer govoraše Agag: zaista, prošla je gorèina smrtna.
Then said Samuel—Bring ye near unto me—Agag, king of Amalek, And Agag came unto him, in fetters. Then said Agag, Surely, terrible, is the bitterness of death!
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 women have been made childless by thy sword, So, childless among women, shall be, thine own mother. And Samuel cut Agag asunder before Yahweh, in Gilgal.
34 Potom otide Samuilo u Ramu, a Saul otide kuæi svojoj u Gavaju Saulovu.
Then Samuel departed unto Ramah, —but, Saul, went up unto his own house, at Gibeah of Saul.
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 no more see Saul, until the day of his death, for Samuel pined for Saul, —but, Yahweh, was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
