Samuu'Eel Kowaad 15
1 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu ii soo diray inaan kuu subko inaad boqor u ahaatid dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil; haddaba bal maqal codka erayada Rabbiga.
[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 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil markay Masar ka soo baxeen, Camaaleq wuxuu ku sameeyey iyo siduu jidka ugu hor joogsaday waan ogaaday.
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 Haddaba tag oo reer Camaaleq laa, oo waxay haystaan oo dhan wada baabbi'i, oo iyaga innaba ha u tudhin, laakiinse wada laa nin iyo naag, iyo dhallaan iyo caanonuugba, iyo dibi iyo ido, iyo geel iyo dameerroba.
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 Markaasaa Saa'uul dadkii u yeedhay, oo Tela'iim buu ku tiriyey, oo waxay noqdeen laba boqol oo kun oo nin oo lug ah, iyo toban kun oo nin ee reer Yahuudah ah.
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 Kolkaasuu Saa'uul yimid magaaladii reer Camaaleq, oo dooxadii buu ugu soo dhuuntay.
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 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu reer Qeyn ku yidhi, Taga oo ka dhex baxa reer Camaaleq, yaanan idinku dhex baabbi'ine; waayo, markii ay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu Masar ka soo baxeen waad u wada roonaateen. Sidaas aawadeed reer Qeyn way ka dhex baxeen reer Camaaleq.
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 Oo Saa'uul wuxuu reer Camaaleq ku laayay xagga Xawiilaah ilaa xagga Shuur, taasoo ku taal Masar horteeda.
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 Oo boqorkii reer Camaaleq oo Agag ahaa isagoo nool buu qabsaday, laakiinse dadkii kale oo dhan seef buu ku wada baabbi'iyey.
Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
9 Laakiinse Saa'uul iyo dadkiiba way reebeen Agag, iyo intii ugu wanaagsanayd oo dhan oo idihii, iyo dibidii, iyo xoolihii shishislaa, iyo wanankii yaryaraa, iyo wixii wanaagsanaa oo dhan; oo ma ay doonayn inay wada baabbi'iyaan; laakiinse waxay wada baabbi'iyeen wixii la quudhsaday iyo intii liidatay oo dhan.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel waxaa u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo ku leh,
Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
11 Waxaan ka qoomamoonayaa inaan Saa'uul boqor ka dhigay; waayo, lasocodkaygii dib buu uga noqday, oo mana uu oofin amarradaydii. Oo Samuu'eelna wuu cadhooday oo habeenkii oo dhan Rabbiguu u qaylinayay.
“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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel aroor hore kacay, oo wuxuu damcay inuu Saa'uul ka hor tago; oo waxaa Samuu'eel loo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Saa'uul baa yimid Karmel, oo bal eeg, halkaas tiir xusuus ah ayuu ka taagtay, oo intuu wareegay ayuu gudbay, oo Gilgaal ku dhaadhacay.
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 Oo Samuu'eelna Saa'uul buu u yimid; markaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi isagii, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo; anigu amarkii Rabbiga waan oofiyey.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, Haddaba waa maxay micneheedu cidan idaha ee aan dhegahayga ku maqlayaa, iyo cida dibida ee aan maqlayaa?
But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
15 Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu yidhi, Reer Camaaleq bay ka keeneen; waayo, dadku waxay u reebeen intii ugu wanaagsanayd ee idihii iyo dibidii inay allabari ugu bixiyaan Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah; intii kalese dhammaantood waannu baabbi'innay.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Bal sug, oo anna waxaan kuu sheegayaa wixii Rabbigu xalay igu yidhi. Markaasuu yidhi, Bal ii sheeg.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, In kastoo aad isla yarayd, sow madax lagaagama dhigin qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil? Oo Rabbigu waa kuu subkay inaad ahaato boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil;
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 oo Rabbigu sodcaal buu kuu diray, oo kugu yidhi, Tag oo wada baabbi'i dembilayaasha reer Camaaleq, oo la dirir ilaa ay baabba'aan.
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 Haddaba maxaad Rabbiga codkiisa u addeeci weyday, oo aadse ugu boodday wixii la dhacay, oo maxaad u samaysay wixii Rabbiga hortiisa sharka ku ahaa?
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 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Waan addeecay Rabbiga codkiisii, oo waxaan maray jidkii Rabbigu igu diray, oo Agag oo ah boqorkii reer Camaaleq ayaan keenay, oo reer Camaaleqna dhammaan waan wada baabbi'iyey.
Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
21 Laakiinse dadkii wax bay ka qaateen xoolihii la dhacay ee ahaa ido iyo dibi, iyo waxyaalihii khaaska ahaa ee la nidray inay Gilgaal allabari ugu bixiyaan Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel yidhi, Rabbigu miyuu aad ugu farxaa qurbaanno la gubo iyo allabaryo, siduu ugu farxo in codka Rabbiga la addeeco? Bal eeg, addeeciddu waa ka wanaagsan tahay allabariga, maqlidduna waa ka wanaagsan tahay baruurta wananka.
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 Waayo, caasinimadu waxay la mid tahay dembiga sixirka, madaxadaygguna wuxuu la mid yahay shar iyo sanam caabudidda. Waxaad diidday Eraygii Rabbiga, oo sidaas daraaddeed isna wuxuu kuu diiday inaad boqor sii ahaatid.
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 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Samuu'eel ku yidhi, Waan dembaabay, waayo, amarkii Rabbiga, iyo erayadaadiiba waan ku xadgudbay, maxaa yeelay, dadkii baan ka cabsaday, codkoodiina waan addeecay.
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 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye dembigayga iga cafi, oo mar kale ila noqo, aan Rabbiga soo caabudee.
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 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Kula noqon maayo, waayo, Eraygii Rabbigaad diidday, oo Rabbigaana kuu diiday inaad sii ahaatid boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya.
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 Oo markii Samuu'eel ka jeestay oo uu damcay inuu tago, ayuu qabsaday darafkii khamiiskiisa, wuuna dillaacay.
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
28 Markaasaa Samuu'eel isagii ku yidhi, Maanta Rabbigu boqortooyadii reer binu Israa'iil buu kaa dillaaciyey, wuxuuna siiyey mid deriskaaga ah oo kaa sii wanaagsan.
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 Kan xoogga reer binu Israa'iil ahna been sheegi maayo, qoomamaynna maayo; waayo, isagu ma aha nin qoomamooda.
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 Markaasuu yidhi, Waan dembaabay; haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, igu murwee duqowda dadkayga hortooda, iyo reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo mar kale ila noqo aan Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah soo caabudee.
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 Haddaba Samuu'eel mar kaluu Saa'uul la noqday, oo Saa'uulna Rabbiguu soo caabuday.
So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
32 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, Halkan iigu keena boqorka reer Camaaleq ee Agag ah. Kolkaasaa Agag u yimid isagoo qalbi san. Oo wuxuu yidhi, Hubaal geerida qadhaadhkeedii waa i dhaafay.
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 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu ku yidhi, Sida seeftaadu dumarka u ilmo tirtay, saasoo kalay hooyadaana dumarka dhexdiisa ugu ilmola'aan doontaa. Oo Samuu'eelna Agag ayuu cad cad ugu jarjaray Gilgaal dhexdeeda Rabbiga hortiisa.
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 Markaasaa Samuu'eel Raamaah tegey; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu tegey xaggii gurigiisii oo ku yiil Gibecaahdii Saa'uul.
Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
35 Samuu'eelna mar dambe uma iman inuu Saa'uul soo arko ilaa maalintii uu dhintay; laakiin Samuu'eel baa Saa'uul u ooyay; oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ka qoomamooday inuu Saa'uul ka dhigay boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil.
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.
