1 Samuel 15
1 Samuel je tudi rekel Savlu: » Gospod me je poslal, da te mazilim, da bi bil kralj nad njegovim ljudstvom, nad Izraelom. Sedaj torej prisluhni glasu Gospodovih besed.
Samuel told Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king of his people Israel. So now pay attention to what the Lord has to say.
2 Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Spomnim se tega, kar je Amálek storil Izraelu, kako je prežal nanj na poti, ko je prišel gor iz Egipta.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: I observed what the Amalekites did to Israel when they ambushed them on their way from Egypt.
3 Sedaj pojdi in udari Amáleka in popolnoma uniči vse, kar imajo in ne prizanesi jim, temveč ubij tako moškega kakor žensko, otroka in dojenčka, vola in ovco, kamelo in osla.‹«
Go and attack the Amalekites and exterminate all of them. Don't spare anyone, but kill every man, woman, child, and baby; every ox, sheep, camel, and donkey.”
4 Savel je ljudstvo zbral skupaj in jih preštel v Telaímu, dvesto tisoč pešcev in deset tisoč mož iz Juda.
Saul called up his army at Telem. There were 200,000 Israelite infantry and 10,000 men from Judah.
5 Savel je prišel do mesta Amálečanov in prežal v dolini.
Saul advanced on the town of Amalek and set up an ambush in the valley.
6 Savel je Kenéjcem rekel: »Pojdite, odidite dol izmed Amálečanov, da vas ne bi uničil z njimi, kajti izkazali ste prijaznost vsem Izraelovim otrokom, ko so prišli gor iz Egipta.« Tako so Kenéjci odšli izmed Amalečanov.
Saul sent a message to warn the Kenites, “Move out of the area and leave the Amalekites so that I don't destroy you with them, because you showed kindness to all the people of Israel on their way from Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away and left the Amalekites.
7 Savel je udaril Amalečane od Havíle, dokler ne prideš do Šura, ki je nasproti Egiptu.
Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as far as Shur, to the east of Egypt.
8 Agága, kralja Amalečanov, je zajel živega in z ostrino meča popolnoma uničil vse ljudstvo.
He captured Agag, king of Amalek, alive, but exterminated all the people by the sword.
9 Toda Savel in ljudstvo je prizaneslo Agágu in najboljšemu od ovc, od volov, od pitancev in jagnjet in vsega, kar je bilo dobro in niso jih želeli popolnoma uničiti. Toda vsako stvar, ki je bila ničvredna in zavrnjena, to so popolnoma uničili.
Saul and his army spared Agag, together with the best sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and everything else that was any good. They didn't want to destroy those, but they completely destroyed all that was unwanted and worthless.
10 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda Samuelu, rekoč:
The Lord sent a message to Samuel, saying,
11 »To me je pokesalo, da sem postavil Savla, da bi bil kralj, kajti obrnil se je nazaj od sledenja meni in ni izvršil mojih zapovedi.« To je užalostilo Samuela in ta je vso noč klical h Gospodu.
“I'm sorry I made Saul king, for he has given up following me and hasn't done as I ordered.” Samuel was upset, and he cried out to the Lord all through the night.
12 Ko je Samuel zgodaj vstal, da bi zjutraj srečal Savla, je bilo Samuelu povedano, rekoč: »Savel je prišel v Karmel in glej, postavil si je kraj in potem je šel naokrog, šel naprej in odšel dol do Gilgála.«
Samuel got up early in the morning and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul's gone to Carmel. There he's even erected a monument to honor himself, and now he's left and gone down to Gilgal.”
13 Samuel je prišel k Savlu in Savel mu je rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi od Gospoda. Izpolnil sem Gospodovo zapoved.«
When Samuel caught up with him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have done what the Lord ordered.”
14 Samuel pa je rekel: »Kaj potem pomeni to blejanje ovc v mojih ušesih in mukanje volov, ki ga slišim?«
“So what's this bleating of sheep my ears are picking up? What's this lowing of cattle that I'm hearing?” Samuel asked.
15 Savel je rekel: »Privedli so jih od Amalečanov, kajti ljudstvo je prizaneslo najboljšim izmed ovc in izmed volov, da žrtvujejo Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu, preostalo pa smo popolnoma uničili.«
“The army brought them from the Amalekites,” Saul replied. “They spared the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we completely destroyed the rest.”
16 Potem je Samuel rekel Savlu: »Ostani in povedal ti bom kaj mi je to noč povedal Gospod.« In rekel mu je: »Povej.«
“Oh, be quiet!” Samuel told Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord told me last night.” “Tell me what he said,” Saul replied.
17 Samuel je rekel: »Ko si bil majhen v svojem lastnem pogledu, ali nisi bil narejen za poglavarja Izraelovim rodovom in te je Gospod mazilil za kralja nad Izraelom?
“Once you didn't use to think much of yourself, but haven't you become the leader of the tribes of Israel?” Samuel asked. “The Lord anointed you king of Israel.
18 Gospod te je poslal na pot in rekel: ›Pojdi in popolnoma uniči grešnike Amalečane in se bori proti njim, dokler ne bodo použiti.‹
Then he sent you out to do something, telling you, ‘Go and exterminate those sinners, the Amalekites. Attack them until they're all destroyed.’
19 Zakaj potem nisi ubogal Gospodovega glasu, temveč si se vrgel na plen in storil zlo v Gospodovih očeh?«
Why didn't you do what the Lord ordered? Why did you swoop down on the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord's sight?”
20 Savel je rekel Samuelu: »Da, ubogal sem Gospodov glas in sem šel na pot, na katero me je poslal Gospod in privedel sem Agága, kralja Amalečanov in popolnoma sem uničil Amálečane.
“But I did do what the Lord ordered!” Saul replied. “I went and did what the Lord sent me to do. I brought back Agag, king of Amalek, and completely destroyed the Amalekites.
21 Toda ljudstvo je vzelo od plena, ovce in vole, glavne izmed stvari, ki naj bi bile popolnoma uničene, da žrtvujejo Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu v Gilgálu.«
The army took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was consecrated to God, to sacrifice them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
22 Samuel je rekel: »Ali ima Gospod tako veliko zadovoljstvo v žgalnih daritvah in klavnih daritvah, kot v ubogljivosti Gospodovemu glasu? Glej, ubogati je bolje kot klavna daritev in poslušati [bolje] kot tolšča ovnov.
“Does the Lord prefer burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obedience to what he says?” Samuel asked. “Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Paying attention is more important than offering the fat of rams.
23 Kajti upor je kakor greh čaranja in trmoglavost je kakor krivičnost in malikovanje. Ker si zavrnil Gospodovo besedo, je tudi on zavrnil tebe, da bi bil kralj.«
Rebellion is as bad as witchcraft, and arrogance is as bad as the sin of idolatry. Because you have rejected the Lord's commands, he has rejected you as king.”
24 Savel je rekel Samuelu: »Grešil sem, kajti prekršil sem Gospodovo zapoved in tvoje besede, ker sem se bal ljudstva in ubogal njihov glas.
“I have sinned,” Saul confessed to Samuel. “I disobeyed the Lord's orders and your instructions, because I was afraid of the people and followed what they said.
25 Zdaj torej, prosim te, odpusti moj greh in se ponovno obrni z menoj, da lahko obožujem Gospoda.«
So please forgive my sin and come back with me, so I can worship the Lord.”
26 Samuel pa je rekel Savlu: »Ne bom se vrnil s teboj, kajti zavrnil si Gospodovo besedo in Gospod je zavrnil tebe, da bi bil kralj nad Izraelom.«
But Samuel told him, “I'm not going back with you. You have rejected the Lord's orders, and the Lord has rejected you as king of Israel!”
27 Medtem ko se je Samuel obrnil naokoli, da gre proč, je zgrabil krajec njegovega plašča in ga odtrgal.
As Samuel turned away to leave, Saul grabbed hold of the hem of his robe, and it ripped.
28 Samuel pa mu je rekel: » Gospod je ta dan odtrgal Izraelovo kraljestvo od tebe in ga izročil tvojemu bližnjemu, ki je boljši kakor ti.
Samuel said to him, “The Lord has ripped the kingdom of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor—someone who is better than you!
29 Tudi Močni Izraelov ne bo lagal niti se kesal, kajti on ni človek, da bi se kesal.«
In addition, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind!”
30 Potem je rekel: »Grešil sem. Vendar me sedaj počasti, prosim te, pred starešinami mojega ljudstva in pred Izraelom in se ponovno obrni z menoj, da bom lahko oboževal Gospoda, tvojega Boga.«
“Yes, I have sinned,” Saul replied. “Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel—come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.”
31 Tako se je Samuel ponovno obrnil za Savlom, in Savel je oboževal Gospoda.
So Samuel went back with Saul after all, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
32 Potem je Samuel rekel: »Privedite sèm k meni Agága, kralja Amalečanov.« Agág je prefinjeno prišel k njemu. In Agág je rekel: »Zagotovo je grenkoba smrti minila.«
Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag, king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him confidently, for he thought, “The threat of death of being killed must have passed.”
33 Samuel je rekel: »Kakor je tvoj meč naredil ženske brez otrok, tako bo tvoja mati brez otroka med ženskami.« In Samuel je Agága razsekal na koščke pred Gospodom v Gilgálu.
But Samuel said, “In the same way that your sword has made women childless, so too your mother will be childless among women.” Samuel cut Agag to pieces before the Lord at Gilgal.
34 Potem je Samuel odšel v Ramo, Savel pa je odšel gor, do svoje hiše, v Savlovo Gíbeo.
Samuel left for Ramah, and Saul went home to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Samuel ni več prišel, da bi videl Savla, do dneva svoje smrti, vendar je Samuel žaloval za Savlom. In Gospod se je pokesal, da je Savla postavil [za] kralja nad Izraelom.
Until the day of his death, Samuel never visited Saul again. Samuel mourned over Saul, and the Lord regretted he had made Saul the king of Israel.
