1 Samuel 15
1 Samuẹli wí fún Saulu pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa rán láti fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ Israẹli; fetísílẹ̀ láti gbọ́ iṣẹ́ tí Olúwa rán mi sí ọ́.
And Samuel said unto Saul, Me did the Lord send to anoint thee as king over his people, over Israel; and now hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord.
2 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Èmi yóò jẹ àwọn Amaleki ní yà fún ohun tí wọ́n ti ṣe sí Israẹli nígbà tí wọn dè wọn lọ́nà nígbà tí wọn ń bọ̀ láti Ejibiti.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he lay in wait for him on the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Lọ nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọlu Amaleki, kí o sì pa gbogbo ohun tí ó bá jẹ́ tiwọn ní à parun. Má ṣe dá wọn sí, pa ọkùnrin àti obìnrin wọn, ọmọ kékeré àti ọmọ ọmú, màlúù àti àgùntàn, ìbákasẹ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn.’”
Now go and smite 'Amalek, and devote all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and lamb, camel and ass.
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Saulu kó àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ó sì ka iye wọn ní Talaemu, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ogún ọ̀kẹ́ àwọn ológun ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá àwọn ọkùnrin Juda.
And Saul ordered the people to assemble, and he numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand of the men of Judah.
5 Saulu sì lọ sí ìlú Amaleki ó sì gọ dè wọ́n ní àfonífojì kan.
And Saul came to the city of 'Amalek, and he fought in the valley.
6 Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ará Keni pé, “Ẹ lọ, kúrò ní Amaleki kí èmi má ba à run yín pẹ̀lú wọn; nítorí ẹ̀yin fi àánú hàn fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n gòkè ti Ejibiti wá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Kenaiti lọ kúrò láàrín àwọn Amaleki.
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from the midst of the 'Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; whereas ye acted kindly with all the children of Israel, at their coming up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from the midst of the 'Amalekites.
7 Nígbà náà ni Saulu kọlu àwọn Amaleki láti Hafila dé Ṣuri, tí ó fi dé ìlà-oòrùn Ejibiti.
And Saul smote the 'Amalekites from Chavilah until thou comest to Shur, that is before Egypt.
8 Ó sì mú Agagi ọba Amaleki láààyè, ó sì fi idà rẹ̀ kọlù gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
And he caught Agag the king of the 'Amalekites alive, and all the people he devoted to the edge of the sword.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ dá Agagi sí àti èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú àgùntàn àti màlúù àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àbọ́pa àti gbogbo nǹkan tó dára. Wọ́n kò sì fẹ́ pa àwọn wọ̀nyí run pátápátá ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo nǹkan tí kò dára tí kò sì níláárí ni wọ́n parun pátápátá.
But Saul together with the people had pity on Agag, and on the best of the flocks, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the fat lambs, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them; but all the cattle that was of little value and weak, that they destroyed.
10 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Samuẹli wá pé,
And the word of the Lord came unto Samuel, saying,
11 “Èmi káàánú gidigidi pé mo fi Saulu jẹ ọba, nítorí pé ó ti yípadà kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, kò sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́.” Inú Samuẹli sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi, ó sì ké pe Olúwa ní gbogbo òru náà.
I repent that I have set up Saul as king; for he hath turned back from following me, and my word hath he not performed: and it displeased Samuel, and he cried unto the Lord all the night.
12 Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù Samuẹli sì dìde láti lọ pàdé Saulu, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Saulu ti wá sí Karmeli. Ó ti kọ́ ibìkan fún ara rẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó sì ti yípadà, ó sì ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Gilgali.”
And Samuel rose up early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told to Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set himself up a monument, and then went about, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.
13 Nígbà tí Samuẹli sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, Saulu sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa bùkún fún ọ, mo ti ṣe ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ.”
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou unto the Lord, I have performed the word of the Lord.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Èwo wá ni igbe àgùntàn tí mo ń gbọ́ ní etí mi? Kí ni igbe màlúù ti mo ń gbọ́ yìí?”
And Samuel said, What is then this bleating of the flocks in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15 Saulu sì dáhùn pé, “Àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní o mú wọn láti Amaleki wá, wọ́n dá àwọn àgùntàn, àti màlúù tí ó dára jùlọ sí láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n a pa àwọn tókù run pátápátá.”
And Saul said, From the 'Amalekites have they brought them; because the people had pity on the best of the flocks and of the oxen, in order to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; and the rest have we destroyed.
16 Samuẹli sí wí fún Saulu pé, “Dákẹ́ ná, jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó sọ ohun tí Olúwa wí fún mi ní alẹ́ àná fún ọ.” Saulu sì wí pé, “Sọ fún mi.”
And Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord said to me this night: and he said unto him, Speak.
17 Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ fi ìgbà kan kéré lójú ara rẹ, ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò ha di olórí ẹ̀yà Israẹli? Olúwa fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli.
And Samuel said, Is it not that, however little thou wast in thy own eyes, thou art the head of the tribes of Israel? and the Lord anointed thee as king over Israel?
18 Olúwa sì rán ọ níṣẹ́ wí pé, ‘Lọ, kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú ará Amaleki run pátápátá; gbóguntì wọ́n títí ìwọ yóò fi run wọ́n.’
And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and destroy the sinners, the 'Amalekites, and thou shalt fight against them until they be consumed.
19 Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi gbọ́ ti Olúwa? Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi sáré sí ìkógun tí o sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa?”
Wherefore then didst thou not hearken unto the voice of the Lord, and didst fly upon the spoil, and didst the evil in the eyes of the Lord?
20 Saulu sì wí fún Samuẹli pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa, èmi sì ti lọ ní ọ̀nà tí Olúwa rán mi. Mo sì ti pa àwọn ará Amaleki run pátápátá, mo sì ti mú Agagi ọba wọn padà wá.
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have fully hearkened unto the voice of the Lord; and I went on the way which the Lord had sent me; and I have brought Agag the king of 'Amalek; and the 'Amalekites have I destroyed.
21 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti mú àgùntàn àti màlúù lára ìkógun èyí tí ó dára láti fi fún Olúwa láti fi rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ní Gilgali.”
And the people took of the spoil, of the flocks and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli dáhùn pé, “Olúwa ha ní inú dídùn sí ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ju kí a gba ohùn Olúwa gbọ́? Ìgbọ́ràn sàn ju ẹbọ lọ, ìfetísílẹ̀ sì sàn ju ọ̀rá àgbò lọ.
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as much delight in burnt-offerings and in sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to attend more than the fat of the rams.
23 Nítorí pé ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ dàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àfọ̀ṣẹ, àti ìgbéraga bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìbọ̀rìṣà. Nítorí tí ìwọ ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, Òun sì ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba.”
For the sin of witchcraft is rebellion, and idolatry and image-worship, stubbornness; inasmuch as thou hast despised the word of the Lord, he hath also despised thee that thou shalt not be king.
24 Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún Samuẹli pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀. Mo ti rú òfin Olúwa àti ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀. Èmi sì bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi sì gba ohùn wọn gbọ́.
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the will of the Lord, and thy words; because I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
25 Mo bẹ̀ ọ́ nísinsin yìí, dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi jì, kí ó sì yípadà pẹ̀lú mi, kí èmi kí ó lè sin Olúwa.”
And now, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself to the Lord.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò ní bá ọ padà. Ìwọ ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sílẹ̀, Olúwa sì ti kọ̀ ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli!”
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou didst despise the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath despised thee, that thou shalt not be king over Israel.
27 Bí Samuẹli sì ti fẹ́ yípadà láti lọ, Saulu sì di ẹ̀wù ìlekè rẹ̀ mú, ó sì fàya;
And Samuel turned about to go: and he laid hold on the corner of his mantle, and it was rent.
28 Samuẹli sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa ti fa ìjọba Israẹli ya kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀ rẹ lónìí, ó sì ti fi fún aládùúgbò rẹ kan tí ó sàn jù ọ́ lọ.
And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee this day, and hath given it to thy associate, who is better than thou.
29 Ẹni tí ó ń ṣe ògo Israẹli, kì í purọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà; nítorí kì í ṣe ènìyàn tí yóò yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà.”
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
30 Saulu sì wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n jọ̀wọ́ bu ọlá fún mi níwájú àwọn àgbàgbà ènìyàn mi, àti níwájú u Israẹli, yípadà pẹ̀lú mi, kí èmi kí ó lè tẹríba fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.”
And he said, I have sinned; [yet] honor me now, I pray thee, in the presence of the elders of my people, and in the presence of Israel, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself unto the Lord thy God.
31 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Samuẹli sì yípadà pẹ̀lú Saulu, Saulu sì sin Olúwa.
So Samuel returned, following Saul; and Saul prostrated himself to the Lord.
32 Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli wí pé, “Mú Agagi ọba àwọn ará Amaleki wá fún mi.” Agagi sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìgboyà pẹ̀lú èrò pé, “Nítòótọ́ ìkorò ikú ti kọjá.”
And Samuel said, Bring ye hither unto me Agag the king of the 'Amalekites: and Agag came unto him cheerfully; and Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli wí pé, “Bí idà rẹ ti sọ àwọn obìnrin di aláìní ọmọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìyá rẹ yóò sì di aláìní ọmọ láàrín obìnrin.” Samuẹli sì pa Agagi níwájú Olúwa ni Gilgali.
And Samuel said, As thy sword did make women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women; and Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli lọ sí Rama, Saulu sì gòkè lọ sí ilé e rẹ̀ ní Gibeah tí Saulu.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house at Gib'ah of Saul.
35 Samuẹli kò sì padà wá mọ́ láti wo Saulu títí ó fi di ọjọ́ ikú u rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli káàánú fún Saulu. Ó sì dun Olúwa pé ó fi Saulu jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli.
And Samuel did not see Saul any more until the day of his death; because Samuel mourned for Saul; and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
