1Samuel 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.
1 Samuwila ne Sawulu se: «Rabbi n'ay donton zama ya ni tuusu nda ji, ni ma ciya bonkooni a jama Israyla boŋ. Sohõ binde kala ni ma hangan ka maa Rabbi sanney se.
2Thus 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.
2 Rabbi Kundeykoyo ne nga na laakal ye haŋ kaŋ Amalek te Israyla se gaa, kaŋ a kay a se da gaaba fonda boŋ, waato kaŋ a fun Misira ra.
3Now 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.
3 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma koy ka Amalek kar, ni ma hay kulu kaŋ go i se halaci. Ma si bakar i se, amma alboro nda wayboro, attaciriya nda naanandi, haw da feeji, yo da farka, ni m'i wi.»
4And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
4 Kala Sawulu na jama ce k'i kabu Telim ra: ce-koyey boro zambar zangu hinka no, da Yahuda boro zambar way.
5And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
5 Sawulu binde kaa Amalek kwaara do, a gum noodin gooro ra.
6And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
6 Sawulu ne Keniya borey se: «Wa tun ka dira. Araŋ ma zulli ka fay da Amalek borey, ay ma si araŋ halaci i banda, zama araŋ na gomni kulu cabe Israyla izey se waato kaŋ i fun Misira.» Keniya borey binde tun ka fun Amalek borey ra.
7And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
7 Sawulu mo na Amalekancey kar, za Habila gaa kal a ma koy Sur kaŋ go Misira fonda gaa.
8And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
8 A na Amalek bonkoono Agag di da fundi, amma a na boro cindey kulu wi da takuba, parkatak!
9But 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.
9 Amma Sawulu da jama na Agag fay waani, nga nda haŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga boori feejey da hawey ra, da wo kaŋ yaŋ i kuru, da feej'izey, da hari hanno kulu. I mana yadda k'i halaci parkatak bo. Amma hari ziibo kulu, da fanta harey, i n'i halaci parkatak!
10Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
10 A binde, Rabbi sanno kaa Samuwila do ka ne:
11It 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.
11 «A dooru ay gaa kaŋ ay na Sawulu daŋ a ma ciya bonkooni, zama a bare ka fay da ay ganayaŋo, a mana ay lordo toonandi.» Samuwila mo futu, a hanna ka jinde tunandi Rabbi gaa.
12And 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.
12 Samuwila tun susuba za da hinay zama nga ma kubay da Sawulu. I ci mo Samuwila se ka ne: «Sawulu kaa Karmel. A go, a na cinari sinji nga boŋ se, a ye ka tun koyne ka bisa, ka zulli ka koy Jilgal.»
13And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
13 Kala Samuwila kaa Sawulu do. Sawulu mo ne a se: «Albarka go ni gaa, Rabbi do wane! Ay na Rabbi lordo toonandi!»
14And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
14 Samuwila ne: «Feeji hẽeni kaŋ ay goono ga maa ay hanga ra binde, da haw kosongu mo kaŋ ay goono ga maa, ifo ga ti i sabaabu?»
15And 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.
15 Sawulu ne: «Amalekancey do no i fun d'ey, zama jama na ihanno yaŋ naŋ feejey da hawey ra zama i ma sargay te Rabbi ni Irikoyo se. Amma iri na cindey kulu halaci parkatak.»
16Then 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.
16 Waato din gaa Samuwila ne Sawulu se: «Kay noodin, ay ma ci ni se haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci ay se hunkuna cino wo.» Sawulu ne a se: «Ci.»
17And 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?
17 Samuwila ne: «Waato kaŋ ni goono ga di ni boŋ ni ya boro kayna no, manti i na ni ciya jine boro Israyla kundey se? Manti Rabbi na ni tuusu nda ji mo ni ma ciya bonkooni Israyla boŋ?
18And 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.
18 Rabbi na ni donton mo ka ne: Ni ma koy ka Amalek zunubikooney din halaci parkatak. M'i wongu kal i ma ban.
19Wherefore 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?
19 Ifo se no ni mana Rabbi sanno hangan, amma ni koy ka kaŋ arzaka boŋ? Ni na hari laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.»
20And 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.
20 Sawulu ne Samuwila se: «Haciika, ay na Rabbi sanno gana. Ay koy nango kaŋ Rabbi n'ay donton, hal ay kande Amalek bonkoono Agag. Ay na Amalek borey halaci mo parkatak!
21But 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.
21 Amma jama kaa arzaka ra, haw da feeji beerey, haya kaŋ i ga halaci din ra, zama i ma sargayyaŋ te Rabbi ni Irikoyo se Jilgal ra.»
22And 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.
22 Samuwila ne: «Mate no? Rabbi ga farhã gumo sargay kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ da nooyaŋey mo se, sanda mate kaŋ a ga farhã da Rabbi sanno ganayaŋ? Ma faham woone: ganayaŋ ga bisa sargay. Sanni maayaŋ mo bisa feeji maani.
23For 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.
23 Zama murteyaŋ ga hima ziimataray zunubi. Boŋ sanday mo ga hima birga nda tooru ganayaŋ. Za kaŋ ni wangu ka maa Rabbi sanno, nga mo wangu ni ma ciya bonkooni.»
24And 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.
24 Sawulu ne Samuwila se: «Ay na zunubi te, zama ay na Rabbi lordo da ni sanney daaru. Zama ay humburu jama, hala ay n'i sanney gana.
25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
25 Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay yaafa nd'ay zunubey, ma bare ka koy ay banda, zama ay ma sombu Rabbi se.»
26And 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.
26 Samuwila ne Sawulu se: «Ay si ye ka koy ni banda. Za kaŋ ni wangu Rabbi sanno, Rabbi mo wangu nin, ni ma ciya Israyla se bonkooni koyne.»
27And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
27 Waato kaŋ Samuwila na banda bare, ga ba nga ma nga diraw te, Sawulu n'a alkuba di, alkuba mo tooru.
28And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.
28 Samuwila mo ne a se: «Hunkuna Rabbi na Israyla koytara tooru ka kaa ni se, k'a no ni gorokasin se kaŋ bisa nin ihanno teeyaŋ.
29And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
29 Israyla Darza si taari, a si tuubi mo, zama nga wo manti boro no, sanku fa a ma tuubi.»
30Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor 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.
30 Waato din gaa Sawulu ne: «Ay na zunubi te. Kulu nda yaadin, ni m'ay beerandi sohõ, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ay borey arkusey jine, da Israyla jine mo. Ma bare ka koy ay banda zama ay ma sombu Rabbi ni Irikoyo se.»
31So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
31 Samuwila binde bare ka Sawulu gana. Sawulu mo sombu Rabbi se.
32Then 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.
32 Samuwila binde ne: «Wa kande Amalek bonkoono Agag neewo ay do.» Agag binde kaa a do da farhã. Agag ne: «Daahir bu gurzuga bisa.»
33And Samuel said, As the sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
33 Samuwila ne: «Mate kaŋ ni takuba na wayborey mursandi hal i jaŋ ize, yaadin cine no ni nya mo ga mursu ka jaŋ ize wayborey ra.» Kala Samuwila na Agag pati-pati Rabbi jine Jilgal ra.
34Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
34 Samuwila fun noodin ka koy Rama. Sawulu mo koy nga kwaara Jibeya, Sawulu wano.
35And 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.
35 Amma Samuwila mana ye ka koy nga ma Sawulu kunfa se koyne kal a bu, zama Samuwila gonda bine saray Sawulu sabbay se. A dooru Rabbi gaa mo da mate kaŋ a na Sawulu daŋ a ma ciya bonkooni Israyla boŋ.
