1At 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. 2Ganito 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. 3Ngayo'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. 4At pinisan ni Saul ang bayan at binilang sila sa Telaim, dalawang yutang lalake na naglalakad, at sangpung libong lalake sa Juda. 5At dumating si Saul sa bayan ng Amalec, at bumakay sa libis. 6At 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. 7At sinaktan ni Saul ang mga Amalecita mula sa Havila kung patungo ka sa Shur, na nasa tapat ng Egipto. 8At kaniyang kinuhang buhay si Agag na hari ng mga Amalecita, at lubos na nilipol ang buong bayan ng talim ng tabak. 9Nguni'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. 10Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Samuel, na sinasabi, 11Ikinalulungkot 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. 12At 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. 13At naparoon si Samuel kay Saul, at sinabi ni Saul sa kaniya, Pagpalain ka nawa ng Panginoon, aking tinupad ang utos ng Panginoon. 14At sinabi ni Samuel, Anong kahulugan nga nitong iyak ng tupa sa aking pakinig, at ng ungal ng mga baka na aking naririnig? 15At 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. 16Nang 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. 17At 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; 18At 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. 19Bakit nga hindi mo sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, kundi ikaw ay dumaluhong sa pananamsam, at ikaw ay gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon? 20At 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. 21Nguni'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. 22At 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. 23Sapagka'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. 24At 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. 25Ngayon nga'y isinasamo ko sa iyo, ipatawad mo ang aking kasalanan, at bumalik ka uli na kasama ko, upang ako'y sumamba sa Panginoon. 26At 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. 27At nang pumihit si Samuel upang yumaon, siya'y pumigil sa laylayan ng kaniyang balabal, at nahapak. 28At 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. 29At ang Lakas ng Israel naman ay hindi magbubulaan o magsisisi man; sapagka't siya'y hindi isang tao na magsisisi. 30Nang 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. 31Gayon bumalik uli na sumunod si Samuel kay Saul; at sumamba si Saul sa Panginoon. 32Nang 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. 33At 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. 34Nang magkagayo'y naparoon si Samuel sa Rama, at si Saul ay sumampa sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa ni Saul. 35At 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.
1Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of Yahweh’s words. 2Thus says Yahweh of Armies, ‘I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way, when he came up out of Egypt. 3Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” 4Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 5Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 6Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 7Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt. 8He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn’t utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 10Then Yahweh’s word came to Samuel, saying, 11“It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night. 12Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.” 13Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by Yahweh! I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.” 14Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?” 15Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the cattle, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God. We have utterly destroyed the rest.” 16Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh has said to me last night.” He said to him, “Say on.” 17Samuel said, “Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel; 18and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’ 19Why then didn’t you obey the voice of Yahweh, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh?” 20Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of Yahweh, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.” 22Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. 23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.” 24Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.” 26Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.” 27As Samuel turned about to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore. 28Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you. 29Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.” 30Then he said, “I have sinned: yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.” 31So Samuel went back with Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh. 32Then Samuel said, “Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites!” Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.” 33Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women!” Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal. 34Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 35Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1Toen zeide Samuel tot Saul: de HEERE heeft mij gezonden, dat ik u ten koning zalfde over Zijn volk, over Israel; hoor dan nu de stem van de woorden des HEEREN. 2Alzo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: Ik heb bezocht, hetgeen Amalek aan Israel gedaan heeft, hoe hij zich tegen hem gesteld heeft op den weg, toen hij uit Egypte opkwam. 3Ga nu heen, en sla Amalek, en verban alles, wat hij heeft, en verschoon hem niet; maar dood van den man af tot de vrouw toe, van de kinderen tot de zuigelingen, van de ossen tot de schapen, van de kemelen tot de ezelen toe. 4Dit verkondigde Saul het volk, en hij telde hen te Telaim, tweehonderd duizend voetvolks, en tien duizend mannen van Juda. 5Als Saul tot aan de stad Amalek kwam, zo legde hij een achterlage in het dal. 6En Saul liet den Kenieten zeggen: Gaat weg, wijkt, trekt af uit het midden der Amalekieten, opdat ik u met hen niet wegruime; want gij hebt barmhartigheid gedaan aan al de kinderen Israels, toen zij uit Egypte opkwamen. Alzo weken de Kenieten uit het midden der Amalekieten. 7Toen sloeg Saul de Amalekieten van Havila af, tot daar gij komt te Sur, dat voor aan Egypte is. 8En hij ving Agag, den koning der Amalekieten, levend; maar al het volk verbande hij door de scherpte des zwaards. 9Doch Saul en het ganse volk verschoonde Agag, en de beste schapen, en runderen, en de naast beste, en de lammeren, en al wat best was, en zij wilden ze niet verbannen; maar alle ding, dat verachtzaam, en dat verdwijnende was, verbanden zij. 10Toen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Samuel, zeggende: 11Het berouwt Mij, dat Ik Saul tot koning gemaakt heb, dewijl hij zich van achter Mij afgekeerd heeft, en Mijn woorden niet bevestigd heeft. Toen ontstak Samuel, en hij riep tot den HEERE den gansen nacht. 12Daarna maakte zich Samuel des morgens vroeg op, Saul tegemoet; en het werd Samuel geboodschapt, zeggende: Saul is te Karmel gekomen, en zie, hij heeft zich een pilaar gesteld; daarna is hij omgetogen, en doorgetrokken, en naar Gilgal afgekomen. 13Samuel nu kwam tot Saul, en Saul zeide tot hem: Gezegend zijt gij den HEERE! Ik heb des HEEREN woord bevestigd. 14Toen zeide Samuel: Wat is dan dit voor een stem der schapen in mijn oren, en een stem der runderen, die ik hoor? 15Saul nu zeide: Zij hebben ze van de Amalekieten gebracht, want het volk heeft de beste schapen en runderen verschoond, om den HEERE, uw God, te offeren; maar het overige hebben wij verbannen. 16Toen zeide Samuel tot Saul: Houd op, zo zal ik u te kennen geven, wat de HEERE van nacht tot mij gesproken heeft. Hij dan zeide tot hem: Spreek. 17En Samuel zeide: Is het niet alzo, toen gij klein waart in uw ogen, dat gij het hoofd der stammen van Israel geworden zijt, en dat u de HEERE tot koning over Israel gezalfd heeft? 18En de HEERE heeft u op den weg gezonden, en gezegd: Ga heen en verban de zondaars, de Amalekieten, en strijd tegen hen, totdat gij dezelve te niet doet. 19Waarom toch hebt gij naar de stem des HEEREN niet gehoord, maar zijt tot den roof gevlogen, en hebt gedaan dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN? 20Toen zeide Saul tot Samuel: Ik heb immers naar de stem des HEEREN gehoord, en heb gewandeld op den weg, op denwelken mij de HEERE gezonden heeft; en ik heb Agag, den koning der Amalekieten, mede gebracht, maar de Amalekieten heb ik verbannen. 21Het volk nu heeft genomen van den roof, schapen en runderen, het voornaamste van het verbannene, om den HEERE, uw God, op te offeren te Gilgal. 22Doch Samuel zeide: Heeft de HEERE lust aan brandofferen, en slachtofferen, als aan het gehoorzamen van de stem des HEEREN? Zie, gehoorzamen is beter dan slachtoffer, opmerken dan het vette der rammen. 23Want wederspannigheid is een zonde der toverij, en wederstreven is afgoderij en beeldendienst. Omdat gij des HEEREN woord verworpen hebt, zo heeft Hij u verworpen, dat gij geen koning zult zijn. 24Toen zeide Saul tot Samuel: Ik heb gezondigd, omdat ik des HEEREN bevel en uw woorden overtreden heb; want ik heb het volk gevreesd en naar hun stem gehoord. 25Nu dan, vergeef mij toch mijn zonde, en keer met mij wederom, dat ik den HEERE aanbidde. 26Doch Samuel zeide tot Saul: Ik zal met u niet wederkeren; omdat gij het woord des HEEREN verworpen hebt, zo heeft u de HEERE verworpen, dat gij geen koning over Israel zult zijn. 27Als zich Samuel omkeerde om weg te gaan, zo greep hij een slip van zijn mantel en zij scheurde. 28Toen zeide Samuel tot hem: De HEERE heeft heden het koninkrijk van Israel van u afgescheurd, en heeft het aan uw naaste gegeven, die beter is dan gij. 29En ook liegt Hij, Die de Overwinning van Israel is, niet, en het berouwt Hem niet; want Hij is geen mens, dat Hem iets berouwen zou. 30Hij dan zeide: Ik heb gezondigd; eer mij toch nu voor de oudsten mijns volks, en voor Israel; en keer wederom met mij, dat ik den HEERE, uw God, aanbidde. 31Toen keerde Samuel wederom Saul na; en Saul aanbad den HEERE. 32Toen zeide Samuel: Breng Agag, den koning der Amalekieten, hier tot mij; Agag nu ging tot hem weeldelijk; en Agag zeide: Voorwaar, de bitterheid des doods is geweken! 33Maar Samuel zeide: Gelijk als uw zwaard de vrouwen van haar kinderen beroofd heeft, alzo zal uw moeder van haar kinderen beroofd worden onder de vrouwen. Toen hieuw Samuel Agag in stukken, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN te Gilgal. 34Daarna ging Samuel naar Rama; en Saul ging op naar zijn huis te Gibea-Sauls. 35En Samuel zag Saul niet meer tot den dag zijns doods toe; evenwel droeg Samuel leed om Saul; en het berouwde den HEERE, dat Hij Saul tot koning over Israel gemaakt had.
