1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
Samyèl di Sayil: -Se mwen menm Seyè a te voye pou vide lwil sou tèt ou pou ou te ka wa sou pèp Izrayèl la. Koulye a, koute pawòl Seyè a.
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I have considered what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Li pral pini moun Amalèk yo paske yo te kenbe tèt ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap moute soti peyi Lejip.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and destroy utterly all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Koulye a, leve al atake moun Amalèk yo. W'a pran tou sa ki pou yo, w'a ofri yo bay Seyè a. Ou p'ap gen pitye pou pesonn lakay yo: N'a touye fanm kou gason, timoun ak ti bebe nan tete, ata bèf, mouton, chamo ak bourik.
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Sayil rele tout sòlda li yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon lavil Telayim. Te gen desanmil (200.000) sòlda apye ki te moun Izrayèl ak dimil (10.000) sòlda ki te moun Jida.
5 And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley.
Lèfini, li desann toupre yonn nan lavil moun Amalèk yo. L' al kache kò li nan yon ravin chèch.
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Apre sa, li voye avèti moun Kayen yo: -Wete kò nou! Kite moun Amalèk yo pou kont yo, pou nou pa touye nou ansanm ak yo. Paske nou menm moun Kayen, nou te aji byen ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo t'ap tounen soti nan peyi Lejip la. Se konsa moun Kayen yo pati, yo wete kò yo nan mitan moun Amalèk yo.
7 And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah as thou comest to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt.
Sayil bat moun Amalèk yo depi lavil Avila rive Chou sou bò solèy leve peyi Lejip.
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Li pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, tou vivan, men li touye tout rès moun yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and oxen, and beasts of the second bearing, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction; but everything that was mean and weak, that they destroyed utterly.
Men Sayil ak sòlda li yo pa t' touye Agag. Yo pa t' touye pi bèl mouton yo ni pi bèl bèf yo, ni yo pa t' touye ankenn bèt ki te bon. Men, yo touye tout bèt ki te lèd, tout bèt ki te mèg tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
10 And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Samyèl, li di l' konsa:
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned away from following me, and hath not fulfilled my words. And Samuel was much grieved; and he cried to Jehovah all night.
-Mwen règrèt mwen te fè Sayil wa. Li vire do ban mwen. Li pa fè sa mwen ba li lòd fè. Samyèl pa t' kontan, li fè tout nwit lan ap lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and has turned about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
Nan denmen maten, bonè bonè, li soti al chache Sayil. Yo vin di Samyèl Sayil t' ale lavil Kamèl, kote li fè bati yon moniman pou tèt li, apre sa, li tounen isit, li desann lavil Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah.
Samyèl al jwenn Sayil. Sayil vin di l' bonjou: -Se pou Seyè a beni ou! Mwen fè tou sa li te ban m' lòd fè.
14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?
Samyèl mande l': -Ki tout bri mouton ak bèf m'ap tande nan zòrèy mwen konsa?
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Sayil reponn li: -Anhan! Se bèt sòlda mwen yo pran kay moun Amalèk yo. Yo pran pi bèl mouton yo ak pi bèl bèf yo, yo pa touye yo pou yo te ka ofri yo bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la. Men, yo touye tout rès yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, that I may tell thee what Jehovah has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
Samyèl di l' konsa: -Pe bouch ou, tande! Kite m' di ou sa Seyè a te vin di m' lannwit lan. Sayil di li: -Pale non!
17 And Samuel said, Was it not when thou wast little in thine eyes that thou [becamest] the head of the tribes of Israel, and Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel?
Samyèl di li: -Atout yon lè ou te rekonèt ou pa t' anyen, jòdi a se pa ou menm ki chèf tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la? Se pa Seyè a menm ki te chwazi ou pou wa pèp Izrayèl la?
18 And Jehovah sent thee on a way and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
Li voye ou ale avèk lòd espre pou ou te touye tout moun Amalèk yo, bann moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Se pou ou te goumen ak yo jouk ou te fin touye yo tout.
19 Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, but didst fall upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Jehovah?
Poukisa ou pa koute sa Seyè a te di ou? Poukisa ou lage kò ou sou sa ou te pran nan men lènmi ou yo, epi ou fè sa ki pa fè Seyè a plezi.
20 And Saul said to Samuel, I have indeed hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Sayil reponn Samyèl li di li: -Mwen fè tou sa Seyè a te di m' fè! Mwen mache dapre lòd li. Mwen pran Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, mwen tounen avè l'. Mwen touye tout rès moun Amalèk yo tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.
Men sòlda mwen yo pa t' touye bèl mouton ak pi bèl bèf yo te jwenn nan sa yo te pran lakay lènmi sa yo. Yo pote yo isit la, lavil Gilgal, pou yo te ka ofri yo sou lotèl la bay Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
22 And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams.
Lè sa a, Samyèl di l' konsa: -Dapre ou, kisa Seyè a pito: yon moun k'ap ofri bèt pou boule nan dife, k'ap fè tout kalite ofrann bèt pou li, osinon yon moun k'ap fè sa li di l' fè a? Konn sa tande! Pito yon moun fè sa Seyè a di l' fè a pase pou l' touye bèt ofri pou Bondye. Pito yon moun soumèt devan Bondye pase pou l' ofri bèl belye chatre pou Seyè a.
23 For rebellion is [as] the sin of divination, And selfwill is [as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
Dezobeyi Bondye nan sa l' mande ou fè a se menm bagay ak fè maji. Fè tèt di ak Bondye se menm bagay ak sèvi zidòl. Enben, ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou. Li pa gen anyen pou l' wè avè ou ankò!
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words; for I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.
Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, mwen pa fè sa Seyè a te ban m' lòd fè. Mwen pa t' koute pawòl ou te di m' lan. Se pè mwen te pè mesye m' yo kifè m' fè sa yo te vle fè a.
25 And now, I pray thee, forgive my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
Men koulye a, tanpri, padonnen peche m' lan. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka sèvi Seyè a.
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn again with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Samyèl di li: -Non, mwen p'ap tounen avè ou. Paske ou voye pawòl Bondye a jete, Seyè a wete ou nan plas wa a, li voye ou jete tou.
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Samyèl fè sa li vire pou l' ale, Sayil kenbe rad li, rad la chire.
28 Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou.
Samyèl di li: -Seyè a rache gouvènman peyi Izrayèl la nan men ou jòdi a. Li rale l' nan men ou. Li pral renmèt li bay yon lòt moun ki pi bon pase ou.
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
Bondye ki wa pèp Izrayèl la pa konn manti, ni li pa konn chanje lide. Se pa moun li ye. Li p'ap chanje pawòl.
30 And he said, I have sinned; honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.
Sayil reponn li: -Mwen peche, se vre! Men, pa fè m' wont devan tout chèf pèp mwen an, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Tounen avè m' pou m' ka fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
Se konsa Samyèl tounen avèk Sayil, epi Sayil fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
32 And Samuel said, Bring ye near to me Agag the king of Amalek. And Agag came to him gaily. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
Apre sa, Samyèl di konsa: -Mennen Agag, wa moun Amalèk yo, ban mwen. Agag vin jwenn li. Li t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ala bagay di, mezanmi, se lanmò!
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless above women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
Samyèl di li: -Avèk nepe ou, ou te fè anpil manman pèdi pitit yo. Koulye a, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, manman ou pral pèdi pitit pa li tou. Epi li koupe Agag an moso la devan lotèl Seyè a lavil Gilgal.
34 And Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Lèfini, Samyèl desann lavil Rama. Sayil menm moute al lakay li lavil Gibeya.
35 And Samuel saw Saul no more until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned over Saul; and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Depi lè sa a, Samyèl pa janm wè wa Sayil ankò jouk li mouri. Men, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou Sayil. Seyè a menm te règrèt deske li te fè Sayil wa pèp Izrayèl la.
