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.
Hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Nirahe’ Iehovà raho hañory azo ho mpanjaka’ ondati’e Israeleo; aa le janjiño ty feon-tsara’ Iehovà.
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.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Tiahiko i nanoe’ i Amalek’ am’ Israeley, ie niatreatre aze amy lalañey te niakats’ i Mitsraime añe.
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.
Aa le akia lafao t’i Amaleke, naho mongoro o fanaña’e iabio naho ko anga’o sehanga’e; zamano ze atao lahilahy naho ampela, ty anak’ ajaja ndra te minono, ty añombe naho añondry, ty rameva vaho ty borìke.
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Kinoi’ i Saole amy zao ondatio vaho niahe’e e Telaime ao, roe-hetse ty am-pandia le nitovoñe rai-ale boake Iehoda.
5 And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley.
Niheo mb’an-drova’ i Amaleke mb’eo t’i Saole, naho niampitse am-bavatane ao.
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.
Vaho hoe t’i Saole amo nte-Keneo: Akia, mizotsoa, hisitake o nte-Amalekeo, tsy mone ho mongoreko mindre ama’e, amy te nisohe’ areo o ana’ Israele niavotse i Mitsraimeo. Aa le nisitahe’ o nte-Keneo o nte-Amalekeo;
7 And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah as thou comest to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt.
vaho linafa’ i Saole o nte-Amalekeo, boake Kavilà am-piranga’o mb’e Sorey tandrife i Mitsraime.
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Rinambe’e veloñe ty Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, fa fonga zinama’e an-dela-pibara ondatio.
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.
Nenga’ i Saole naho ondati’eo t’i Agage, naho ty soa amo mpirai-liao naho o mpirai-trokeo naho o vositseo vaho o vik’añondrio, toe ze raha soa iaby, ie tsy nete nimongoreñe; o sirikaeñeo naho o tsy vente’eo ty nimongore’ iareo.
10 And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying,
Aa le niheo amy Samoele ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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.
Aneñenako t’ie nampijadoñe i Saole ho mpanjaka; fa niambohoa’e, tsy norihe’e naho tsy nanoe’e o nandiliakoo. Nioremèñe amy zao t’i Samoele; le nirovetse amy Iehovà avao amy haleñey.
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.
Ie nitroatse maraindray hanalaka amy Saole; le teo ty nisaontsy amy Samoele ty hoe: Nivotrake e Karmele t’i Saole, le nioniñe te nampijadoñe’e eo ty faniahiañe ty vata’e, le nienga boak’ao re nizotso mb’e Gilgale mb’eo.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah.
Niheo mb’ amy Saole mb’eo t’i Samoele; le hoe t’i Saole ama’e: Tahie’ Iehovà rehe; fa nanoeko ty linili’ Iehovà.
14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aa ino arè o fibabababan’ añondry an-tsofikoo naho ty firohafa’ o añombe tsanoñeko henaneoo?
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.
Le hoe t’i Saole: nendese’ iareo boak’ amo nte Amalekeo, nasisa’ ondatio ty soa amo añondrio naho amo añombeo hisoroña’ iareo am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; vata’e finongo’ay ty ila’e.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Eo hey, fa ho volañeko ama’o ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amako aniankale. Le hoe re ama’e, Misaontsia.
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?
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Ndra te kede am-pihaino’o rehe, tsy lohà amo fifokoa’ Israeleo hao? ihe noriza’ Iehovà ho mpanjaka’ Israeley?
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.
Nafanto’ Iehovà ama’o ty lia’o, ami’ ty hoe: Akia, zamano iaby o nte-Amaleke mpanan-kakeoo, naho ialio ampara’ te mongotse.
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?
Aa vaho akore te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, te mone niambotraha’o i nikopaheñey naho nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà?
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.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele: Toe nihaoñeko ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, kanao fa nandenàko i nañiraha’ Iehovà ahiy, naho naseseko atoy t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo, vaho nimongoreko o nte-Amalekeo.
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.
Fe nangala’ ondatio boak’ amy kinopakey ty añondry, naho añombe, ty soa amo raha nafatseo hisoroñañe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o e Gilgale.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Tea’ Iehovà mandikoatse ty fañaoñañe i fiarañanaña’ Iehovày hao o enga oroañeo naho o soroñeo? Toe zoke’ ty soroñe ty fañorihañe naho lombolombo’ ty solin’ añondrilahy ty fañaoñañe.
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.
Fa hakeom-pamorehañe ty fiola naho hatsivokarañe mitrao-pahasive ty fanjeharañe. Kanao napo’o ty tsara’ Iehovà le naforintse’e ka ty maha-mpanjaka azo.
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.
Aa hoe t’i Saole amy Samoele, toe aman-kakeo raho, nandilatse amy lili’ Iehovày naho amo saontsi’oo; toe nihembañako ondatio, naho nihaoñeko o feo’eo.
25 And now, I pray thee, forgive my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
Aa ehe iheveo i tahikoy vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà.
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.
Fa hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Tsy himpoliako; fa nado’o ty tsara’ Iehovà naho nado’ Iehovà rehe tsy ho mpanjaka’ Israele ka!
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Nitolike mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele hañavelo, fe nivontitire’e i saro’ey vaho niriatse.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Fa rinia’ Iehovà ama’o anindroany ty fifeheañe Israele vaho natolo’e ami’ty mpiama’o, ty soa te ama’o
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
vaho tsy mandañitse, tsy maneñeñe ty Enge’ Israele, ie tsy ondaty hikinañe.
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.
Le hoe re: Aman-kakeo raho; fe miambane ama’o, miasia ahy añatrefa’ o roandria’ ondatikoo naho aolo’ Israele vaho mindreza fimpoly amako hitalaho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy.
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
Aa le niharo fibalik’ amy Saole t’i Samoele vaho nitalaho am’ Iehovà t’i Saole.
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.
Le hoe t’i Samoele: Aseseo mb’etoa t’i Agage mpanjaka’ o nte-Amalekeo. Aa le nigolengole mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Agage, fa hoe ty natao’ i Agage: Toe fa añe ty hafairan-kavilasy.
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.
Fe hoe t’i Samoele ama’e: Manahake ty tsy nañengà’ i fibara’oy ho aman’ anake o rakembao ty hanoañe tsy ho aman’ anake ka i rene’o añivo’ o rakembao. Vaho tinoritori’ i Samoele t’i Agage añatrefa’ Iehovà e Gilgale.
34 And Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Nimpoly mb’e Ramà mb’eo amy zao t’i Samoele; vaho nionjo mb’ añ’anjomba’e e Gibeate-Saole mb’eo t’i Saole.
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.
Le lia’e tsy nitilike i Saole ka t’i Samoele ampara’ ty andro nihomaha’e; nandala i Saole t’i Samoele vaho niselekaiña’ Iehovà te nanoe’e Mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Saole.
