Now go and attack[a] Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
Ступай, напади на амаликитян и полностью уничтожь70 все, что им принадлежит. Не щади их; предай смерти мужчин и женщин, детей и грудных младенцев, волов и овец, верблюдов и ослов».
Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, get 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.
Он сказал кенеям: — Уходите, оставьте амаликитян, чтобы я не истребил вас вместе с ними, ведь вы оказали милость всем израильтянам, когда они вышли из Египта.71 И кенеи ушли от амаликитян.
But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.
Но Саул и его войско пощадили Агага. Они также оставили лучших овец и волов, жирных телят и ягнят — все, что было ценно; они не хотели все это уничтожать. Но все, что было плохого и слабого, они уничтожили полностью.
“I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.
So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.”
Рано утром Самуил встал, чтобы встретиться с Саулом, но ему сказали: — Саул ушел в город Кармил. Там он поставил себе памятник, а затем спустился в Гилгал.
And Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the Lord your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.”
Саул ответил: — Воины привели их от амаликитян. Они пощадили лучших овец и волов, чтобы принести их в жертву Господу, твоему Богу, но все остальное мы полностью уничтожили.
Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are [b]consumed.’
And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
— Но я же послушался Господа, — сказал Саул. — Я отправился исполнять поручение, которое дал мне Господь. Я полностью истребил амаликитян и привел их царя Агага.
But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
So Samuel said: “Has 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 heed than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”
Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
Then he said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.”
Саул ответил: — Я согрешил. Но пожалуйста, окажи мне уважение перед старейшинами моего народа и перед Израилем; вернись со мной, чтобы мне поклониться Господу, твоему Богу.
Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me.” So Agag came to him cautiously. And Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
