I Samuel 15

Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.

Ary hoy Samoela tamin'i Saoly: Jehovah naniraka ahy hanosotra anao ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely olony; koa ankehitriny mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ianao.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro: Hovaliako izay nataon'ny Amalekita tamin'ny Isiraely, dia ny nanotrehany azy tany an-dalana, fony izy niakatra avy tany Egypta.

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Koa mandehana ankehitriny, ka mameleza ny Amalekita, ary aringano izay rehetra mety ho azy, ka aza asiana miangana, fa vonoy avokoa, na lahy na vavy, na ankizy madinika, na zaza minono, na omby, na ondry aman'osy, na rameva, na boriky.

And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

Ary Saoly namory ny olona ka nandamina azy tao Telaima, dia roa hetsy ny mandeha an-tongotra, ary iray alina ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda.

And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

Ary Saoly dia tonga tao an-tanànan'ny Amalekita ka nanotrika tao an-dohasaha.

And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you 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. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

Ary hoy Saoly tamin'ny Kenita: Andeha miala ianareo, ka midìna hiala amin'ny Amalekita, fandrao miaraka aringako aminy ianareo, fa ianareo nanisy soa ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, fony izy nivoaka avy tany Egypta. Ka dia niala tamin'ny Amalekita ny Kenita.

And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.

Ary Saoly namely ny Amalekita hatrany Havila amin'ny lalana mankany Sora izay tandrifin'i Egypta.

And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

Ary azony sambo-belona Agaga, mpanjakan'ny Amalekita, fa ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia naringany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra.

But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

Fa Saoly sy ny olona tsy namono an'i Agaga sy izay tsara indrindra tamin'ny ondry aman'osy sy ny omby sy ny mifahy sy ny zanak'ondry ary izay tsara rehetra, fa tsy foiny ho naringana ireny; fa ny ratsy rehetra sy izay tsy tiany kosa dia naringany ihany avokoa.

Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

Ary tonga tamin'i Samoela ny tenin'i Jehovah hoe:

It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

Manenina Aho noho ny nanaovako an'i Saoly ho mpanjaka, fa niala tamin'ny fanarahana Ahy izy ka tsy nahatanteraka ny teniko. Dia tezitra Samoela ka nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah mandritra ny alina.

And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.

Ary nifoha maraina koa Samoela hitsena an'i Saoly, dia nisy nilaza tamin'i Samoela hoe: Saoly efa tonga ato Karmela, ary, indro, izy nanorina fahatsiarovana ho azy, dia nihodina ka nandroso nidina ho any Gilgala.

And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.

Ary Samoela tonga teo amin'i Saoly, dia hoy Saoly taminy: Hotahin'i Jehovah anie ianao; efa nahatanteraka ny tenin'i Jehovah aho.

And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

Fa hoy Samoela: Inona anefa izany fibarareoky ny ondry aman- osy ren'ny sofiko izany sy ny fimàmàn'ny omby reko?

And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

Ary hoy Saoly: Avy tany amin'ny Amalekita no nitondrany ireny, fa ny olona namela izay ondry aman'osy sy omby tsara indrindra mba hovonoina hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa ny sisa dia naringanay ihany avokoa.

Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

Dia hoy Samoela tamin'i Saoly: Aoka izay, fa hambarako aminao izay nolazain'i Jehovah tamiko halina. Ary hoy izy taminy: Ambarao ary.

And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?

Dia hoy Samoela: Na dia noheverinao ho kely aza ny tenanao, moa tsy tonga lohan'ny firenen'Isiraely va? Ary Jehovah nanosotra anao ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely;

And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.

ary Jehovah naniraka anao ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka aringano avokoa ny Amalekita mpanota, ary miadia aminy ambara-paharingany.

Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

Koa nahoana ianao no tsy nihaino ny feon'i Jehovah, fa nanao an-kazakazaka tamin'ny babo ka nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah?

And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

Fa hoy Saoly tamin'i Samoela: Efa nihaino ny feon'i Jehovah ihany aho ka nandeha tamin'izay nanirahan'i Jehovah ahy ary nitondra an'i Agaga, mpanjakan'ny Amalekita, sady nandringana ny Amalekita rehetra.

But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.

Nefa nangalan'ny olona ondry aman'osy sy omby ny babo, dia izay soa avy tamin'ny zavatra haringana,1 mba hovonoina hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ao Gilgala.

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Fa hoy Samoela: Sitrak'i Jehovah moa ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà mihoatra noho ny mihaino ny feon'i Jehovah? He! ny manafaka no tsara noho ny fanatitra, ary ny mihaino no tsara noho ny saboran'ondrilahy.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Fa ny miodina dia toy ny heloka amin'ny fankatovana, ary ny ditra dia toy ny manompo sampy sy terafima. Satria nandà ny tenin'i Jehovah ianao, dia nolaviny tsy ho mpanjaka kosa.

And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

Ary hoy Saoly tamin'i Samoela: Efa nanota aho, fa efa nandika ny tenin'i Jehovah sy ny teninao; fa natahotra ny vahoaka aho ka nihaino ny feony.

Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.

Koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, mamelà ny heloko ary miverena amiko indray mba hiankohofako eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

Fa hoy Samoela tamin'i Saoly: Tsy hiverina aminao aho; fa ianao efa nandà ny tenin'i Jehovah, ary Jehovah kosa efa nandà anao tsy ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely intsony.

And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

Ary nony nihodina handeha Samoela, dia nohazonin'i Saoly ny sisin'akanjony ka triatra.

And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.

Dia hoy Samoela tamin'i Saoly: Efa notriarin'i Jehovah kosa ho afaka aminao androany ny fanjakan'Isiraely ka efa nomeny ny namanao izay tsara noho ianao.

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

Ary koa, ny Tokin'ny Isiraely tsy mba handainga na hanenina, fa tsy olona Izy ka hanenina.

Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

Fa hoy Saoly: Efa nanota aho izao, kanefa, masìna ianao, mba omeo voninahitra eo anatrehan'ny loholoko sy eo anatrehan'ny Isiraely aho, ary andeha re hiara-miverina amiko indray mba hiankohofako eo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.

So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.

Ary Samoela dia niverina nanaraka an'i Saoly indray ary Saoly niankohoka teo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.

Dia hoy Samoela: Entonareo eto amiko Agaga, mpanjakan'ny Amalekita. Ary Agaga nankeo aminy sady falifaly ka nanao hoe: Lasa tokoa ny fangidian'ny fahafatesana.

And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

Fa hoy Samoela: Toy ny tsy nampananan'ny sabatrao zanaka ny vehivavy no tsy hananan'ny reninao zanaka kosa ao amin'ny vehivavy. Dia notetitetehin'i Samoela teo anatrehan'i Jehovah tao Gilgala Agaga.

Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.

Ary Samoela nankany Rama; fa Saoly kosa niakatra tany amin'ny tranony tao Gibean'i Saoly.

And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Ary Samoela tsy namangy an'i Saoly intsony ambara-pahafatiny; fa Samoela nalahelo an'i Saoly. Ary Jehovah nanenina noho ny nanaovany an'i Saoly ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.
