1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul: “The Lord sent me, so that I would anoint you as king over his people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the voice of the Lord.
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Sinugo ako ng Panginoon upang pahiran kita ng langis na maging hari sa kaniyang bayan, sa Israel: ngayon nga'y dinggin mo ang tinig ng mga salita ng Panginoon.
2 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have taken account of all that Amalek has done to Israel, how he stood against him in the way, when he ascended from Egypt.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Aking tinandaan yaong ginawa ng Amalec sa Israel, kung paanong siya'y humadlang sa kaniya sa daan, nang siya'y umahon mula sa Egipto.
3 Now therefore, go and strike Amalek, and demolish all that is his. You shall not spare him, and you shall not covet anything out of the things that are his. Instead, kill from man even to woman, and little ones as well as infants, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
Ngayo'y yumaon ka at saktan mo ang Amalec, at iyong lubos na lipulin ang buo nilang tinatangkilik, at huwag kang manghinayang sa kanila; kundi patayin mo ang lalake at babae, sanggol at sumususo, baka at tupa, kamelyo at asno.
4 And so, Saul instructed the people, and he numbered them like lambs: two hundred thousand foot soldiers, and ten thousand men of Judah.
At pinisan ni Saul ang bayan at binilang sila sa Telaim, dalawang yutang lalake na naglalakad, at sangpung libong lalake sa Juda.
5 And when Saul had arrived as far as the city of Amalek, he placed ambushes at the torrent.
At dumating si Saul sa bayan ng Amalec, at bumakay sa libis.
6 And Saul said to the Kenite: “Go away, withdraw, and descend from Amalek. Otherwise, I will include you with him. For you showed mercy to all the sons of Israel, when they ascended from Egypt.” And so the Kenite withdrew from the midst of Amalek.
At sinabi ni Saul sa mga Cineo, Kayo'y magsiyaon, humiwalay kayo at umalis kayo sa gitna ng mga Amalecita, baka kayo'y lipulin kong kasama nila; sapagka't kayo'y nagpakita ng kagandahang loob sa mga anak ni Israel, nang sila'y umahong mula sa Egipto. Sa gayo'y umalis ang mga Cineo sa gitna ng mga Amalecita.
7 And Saul struck down Amalek, from Havilah even until you arrive at Shur, which is opposite the region of Egypt.
At sinaktan ni Saul ang mga Amalecita mula sa Havila kung patungo ka sa Shur, na nasa tapat ng Egipto.
8 And he apprehended Agag, the king of Amalek, alive. But all the common people he put to death with the edge of the sword.
At kaniyang kinuhang buhay si Agag na hari ng mga Amalecita, at lubos na nilipol ang buong bayan ng talim ng tabak.
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments, and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and they were not willing to destroy them. Yet truly, whatever was vile or worthless, these they demolished.
Nguni't pinanghinayangan ni Saul at ng bayan si Agag, at ang pinakamabuti sa mga tupa, sa mga baka, at sa mga pinataba, at sa mga kordero, at lahat ng mabuti, at yaong mga hindi nila lubos na nilipol: nguni't bawa't bagay na hamak at walang kabuluhan, ay kanilang lubos na nilipol.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying
Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Samuel, na sinasabi,
11 “It displeases me that I have appointed Saul as king. For he has forsaken me, and he has not fulfilled the work of my words.” And Samuel was greatly saddened, and he cried out to the Lord, all night long
Ikinalulungkot ko na aking inilagay na hari si Saul; sapagka't siya'y tumalikod na hindi sumunod sa akin, at hindi tinupad ang aking mga utos. At si Samuel ay nagalit, at siya'y dumaing sa Panginoon buong gabi.
12 And when Samuel had risen while it was still dark, so that he might go to Saul in the morning, it was reported to Samuel that Saul had arrived at Carmel, and that he had erected for himself a triumphant arch. And, while returning, he had continued on and descended to Gilgal. Therefore, Samuel went to Saul. And Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, from the best of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalek.
At si Samuel ay bumangong maaga upang salubungin si Saul sa kinaumagahan; at nasaysay kay Samuel, na sinasabi, Si Saul ay naparoon sa Carmel, at, narito, ipinagtayo niya siya ng isang monumento, at siya'y lumibot at nagpatuloy, at lumusong sa Gilgal.
13 And when Samuel had gone to Saul, Saul said to him: “You are the blessed of the Lord. I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.”
At naparoon si Samuel kay Saul, at sinabi ni Saul sa kaniya, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon, aking tinupad ang utos ng Panginoon.
14 And Samuel said, “Then what is this voice of the flocks, which resounds in my ears, and of the herds, which I am hearing?”
At sinabi ni Samuel, Anong kahulugan nga nitong iyak ng tupa sa aking pakinig, at ng ungal ng mga baka na aking naririnig?
15 And Saul said: “They have brought these from Amalek. For the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, so that they might be immolated to the Lord your God. Yet truly, the remainder we have slain.”
At sinabi ni Saul, Sila'y dinala mula sa mga Amalecita: sapagka't ang bayan ay nagligtas ng pinakamabuti sa mga tupa at sa mga baka, upang ihain sa Panginoon mong Dios; at ang natira ay aming lubos na nilipol.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Permit me, and I will reveal to you what the Lord has said to me this night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Tumigil ka, at aking sasaysayin sa iyo kung ano ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin nang gabing ito. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sabihin mo.
17 And Samuel said: “Was it not when you were little in your own eyes that you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed you as king over Israel.
At sinabi ni Samuel, Bagaman ikaw ay maliit sa iyong sariling paningin, hindi ka ba ginawang pangulo sa mga lipi ng Israel? At pinahiran ka ng langis ng Panginoon na maging hari sa Israel;
18 And the Lord sent you on the way, and he said: ‘Go and put to death the sinners of Amalek. And you shall fight against them, even unto utter annihilation.’
At sinugo ka ng Panginoon sa isang paglalakbay, at sinabi, Ikaw ay yumaon, at iyong lubos na lipulin ang mga makasalanang Amalecita, at labanan mo sila hanggang sa sila'y malipol.
19 Why then, did you not listen to the voice of the Lord? Instead, you turned to the spoils, and you did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
Bakit nga hindi mo sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, kundi ikaw ay dumaluhong sa pananamsam, at ikaw ay gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon?
20 And Saul said to Samuel: “On the contrary, I did listen to the voice of the Lord, and I walked in the way along which the Lord sent me, and I led back Agag, the king of Amalek, and I put to death Amalek.
At sinabi ni Saul kay Samuel, Oo, aking sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, at ako'y yumaon sa daan na pinagsuguan sa akin ng Panginoon, at aking dinala si Agag na hari ng Amalec, at aking lubos na nilipol ang mga Amalecita.
21 But the people took some of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the first-fruits of those things that were slain, to immolate to the Lord their God at Gilgal.”
Nguni't ang bayan ay kumuha sa samsam ng mga tupa at mga baka, ng pinakamabuti sa mga itinalagang bagay, upang ihain sa Panginoon mong Dios sa Gilgal.
22 And Samuel said: “Does the Lord want holocausts and victims, and not instead that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifice. And to heed is greater than to offer the fat of rams.
At sinabi ni Samuel, Nagtataglay kaya ang Panginoon ng napakadakilang pagkatuwa sa mga handog na susunugin at sa mga hain, na gaya sa pagsunod ng tinig ng Panginoon? Narito, ang pagsunod ay maigi kay sa hain, at ang pagdinig kay sa taba ng mga tupang lalake.
23 Therefore, it is like the sin of paganism to rebel. And it is like the crime of idolatry to refuse to obey. For this reason, therefore, because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has also rejected you from being king.”
Sapagka't ang panghihimagsik ay gaya ng kasalanan ng panghuhula, at ang katigasan ng ulo ay gaya ng pagsamba sa mga diosdiosan at sa mga terap. Sapagka't dahil sa iyong itinakuwil ang salita ng Panginoon, ay kaniya namang itinakuwil ka upang huwag ka nang maging hari.
24 And Saul said to Samuel: “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and your words, by fearing the people and obeying their voice.
At sinabi ni Saul kay Samuel, Ako'y nagkasala; sapagka't ako'y sumalangsang sa utos ng Panginoon, at sa iyong mga salita; sapagka't ako'y natakot sa bayan, at sumunod sa kanilang tinig.
25 But now, I beg you, to bear my sin, and to return with me, so that I may adore the Lord.”
Ngayon nga'y isinasamo ko sa iyo, ipatawad mo ang aking kasalanan, at bumalik ka uli na kasama ko, upang ako'y sumamba sa Panginoon.
26 And Samuel said to Saul: “I will not return with you. For you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Hindi ako babalik na kasama mo; sapagka't iyong itinakuwil ang salita ng Panginoon, at itinakuwil ka ng Panginoon upang huwag ka nang maging hari sa Israel.
27 And Samuel turned away, so that he might depart. But Saul took hold of the edge of his cloak, and it tore.
At nang pumihit si Samuel upang yumaon, siya'y pumigil sa laylayan ng kaniyang balabal, at nahapak.
28 And Samuel said to him: “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel away from you this day. And he has delivered it to your neighbor, who is better than you are.
At sinabi ni Samuel sa kaniya, Hinapak sa iyo ng Panginoon ang kaharian ng Israel sa araw na ito, at ibinigay sa iyong kapuwa, na maigi kay sa iyo.
29 Moreover, the One who triumphs within Israel will not spare, and he will not be moved to repentance. For he is not a man, that he should repent.”
At ang Lakas ng Israel naman ay hindi magbubulaan o magsisisi man; sapagka't siya'y hindi isang tao na magsisisi.
30 Then he said: “I have sinned. But now, honor me before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, so that I may adore the Lord your God.”
Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y nagkasala: gayon ma'y parangalan mo ako ngayon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa harap ng mga matanda ng aking bayan at sa harap ng Israel, at bumalik ka uli na kasama ko upang aking sambahin ang Panginoon mong Dios.
31 Therefore, Samuel turned again after Saul. And Saul adored the Lord.
Gayon bumalik uli na sumunod si Samuel kay Saul; at sumamba si Saul sa Panginoon.
32 And Samuel said, “Bring near to me Agag, the king of Amalek.” And Agag, very fat and trembling, was presented to him. And Agag said, “Does bitter death separate in this manner?”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Samuel, Dalhin ninyo rito sa akin si Agag na hari ng mga Amalecita. At masayang naparoon si Agag sa kaniya. At sinabi ni Agag, Tunay na ang kapaitan ng kamatayan ay nakaraan na.
33 And Samuel said, “Just as your sword caused women to be without their children, so will your mother be without her children among women.” And Samuel cut him into pieces, before the Lord at Gilgal.
At sinabi ni Samuel, Kung paanong niwalan ng anak ng iyong tabak ang mga babae, ay magiging gayon ang iyong ina na mawawalan ng anak, sa gitna ng mga babae. At pinagputolputol ni Samuel si Agag sa harap ng Panginoon sa Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went away to Ramah. But Saul ascended to his house at Gibeah.
Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Samuel sa Rama, at si Saul ay sumampa sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa ni Saul.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul any more, until the day of his death. Yet truly, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord regretted that he had appointed him as king over Israel.
At si Samuel ay hindi na bumalik na napakitang muli kay Saul hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan; sapagka't tinangisan ni Samuel si Saul: at ang Panginoon ay nagdamdam na kaniyang nagawang hari si Saul sa Israel.
