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.
[One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
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.
Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left 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.‹«
So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
4 Savel je ljudstvo zbral skupaj in jih preštel v Telaímu, dvesto tisoč pešcev in deset tisoč mož iz Juda.
So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
5 Savel je prišel do mesta Amálečanov in prežal v dolini.
Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding 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.
Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
7 Savel je udaril Amalečane od Havíle, dokler ne prideš do Šura, ki je nasproti Egiptu.
Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
8 Agága, kralja Amalečanov, je zajel živega in z ostrino meča popolnoma uničil vse ljudstvo.
Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
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.
They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
10 Potem je prišla Gospodova beseda Samuelu, rekoč:
Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
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 am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that 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.«
Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there 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 arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
14 Samuel pa je rekel: »Kaj potem pomeni to blejanje ovc v mojih ušesih in mukanje volov, ki ga slišim?«
But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
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.«
Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
16 Potem je Samuel rekel Savlu: »Ostani in povedal ti bom kaj mi je to noč povedal Gospod.« In rekel mu je: »Povej.«
Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
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?
Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
18 Gospod te je poslal na pot in rekel: ›Pojdi in popolnoma uniči grešnike Amalečane in se bori proti njim, dokler ne bodo použiti.‹
And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
19 Zakaj potem nisi ubogal Gospodovega glasu, temveč si se vrgel na plen in storil zlo v Gospodovih očeh?«
So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
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.
Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
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.«
My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at 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.
But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
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.«
To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be 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.
Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
25 Zdaj torej, prosim te, odpusti moj greh in se ponovno obrni z menoj, da lahko obožujem Gospoda.«
But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
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 replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
27 Medtem ko se je Samuel obrnil naokoli, da gre proč, je zgrabil krajec njegovega plašča in ga odtrgal.
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
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, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
29 Tudi Močni Izraelov ne bo lagal niti se kesal, kajti on ni človek, da bi se kesal.«
And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
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.«
Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
31 Tako se je Samuel ponovno obrnil za Savlom, in Savel je oboževal Gospoda.
So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
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 King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
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 to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
34 Potem je Samuel odšel v Ramo, Savel pa je odšel gor, do svoje hiše, v Savlovo Gíbeo.
Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
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.
Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
