1 A Samuilo reče Saulu: Gospod me je poslao da te pomažem za cara nad narodom Njegovim, nad Izrailjem; slušaj dakle reči Gospodnje.
1 Samuel 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.
2 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Opomenuh se šta je učinio Amalik Izrailju, kako mu se opro na putu kad je išao iz Misira.
2 Yahweh of Armies says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way when he came up out of Egypt.
3 Zato idi i pobij Amalika, i zatri kao prokleto sve što god ima; ne žali ga, nego pobij i ljude i žene i decu i šta je na sisi i volove i ovce i kamile i magarce.
3 Now 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.’”
4 Tada Saul sazva narod, i izbroja ih u Telaimu, i beše ih dvesta hiljada pešaka i deset hiljada ljudi od Jude.
4 Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 I dođe Saul do grada amaličkog, i namesti zasedu u potoku.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and set an ambush in the valley.
6 I reče Saul Kenejima: Idite, odvojite se, uklonite se od Amalika, da vas ne bi potro s njima; jer ste vi učinili milost svim sinovima Izrailjevim kad su išli iz Misira. I otidoše Keneji od Amalika.
6 Saul 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.
7 I Saul pobi Amalike od Avile do Sura, koji je prema Misiru.
7 Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is before Egypt.
8 I uhvati Agaga cara amaličkog živog, a sav narod njegov pobi oštrim mačem.
8 He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 I Saul i narod njegov poštede Agaga i najbolje ovce i najbolje volove i ugojenu stoku i jaganjce i sve što beše dobro, i ne hteše pobiti; nego šta beše zlo i bez cene, ono pobiše.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, of the cattle, of the fat calves, of the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to utterly destroy them; but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Zato dođe reč Gospodnja k Samuilu govoreći:
10 Then Yahweh’s word came to Samuel, saying,
11 Kajem se što sam Saula postavio carem, jer je odstupio od mene, i nije izvršio moje reči. I rasrdi se Samuilo vrlo, i vikaše ka Gospodu svu noć.
11 “It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king, for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.
12 I ustavši rano Samuilo pođe pred Saula. I javiše Samuilu govoreći: Saul dođe u Karmil, i eno podiže sebi spomenik, pa se vrati odande i otide dalje i siđe u Galgal.
12 Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and Samuel was told, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, turned, passed on, and went down to Gilgal.”
13 Kad Samuilo dođe k Saulu, reče mu Saul: Blagosloven da si Gospodu! Izvršio sam reč Gospodnju.
13 Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by Yahweh! I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.”
14 A Samuilo reče: Kakva je to bleka ovaca u ušima mojim? I rika volova koju čujem?
14 Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?”
15 A Saul reče: Od Amalika dognaše ih; jer narod poštede najbolje ovce i najbolje volove da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvom; ostalo pak pobismo kao prokleto.
15 Saul 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.”
16 A Samuilo reče Saulu: Stani da ti kažem šta mi je rekao Gospod noćas. Reče mu: Govori.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” He said to him, “Say on.”
17 Tada reče Samuilo: Nisi li bio mali sam u svojim očima, pak si postao glava plemenima Izrailjevim, i Gospod te pomaza za cara nad Izrailjem?
17 Samuel 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;
18 I Gospod te posla na ovaj put i reče: Idi, pobij grešne Amalike, i vojuj na njih dokle ih ne istrebite.
18 and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
19 Zašto, dakle, ne posluša glas Gospodnji, nego se naklopi na plen, i učini zlo pred Gospodom?
19 Why then didn’t you obey Yahweh’s voice, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight?”
20 A Saul odgovori Samuilu: Ta poslušao sam glas Gospodnji, i išao sam putem kojim me posla Gospod, i doveo sam Agaga cara amaličkog, a Amalike sam istrebio.
20 Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed Yahweh’s voice, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 Nego narod uze od plena ovce i volove, najbolje između prokletih stvari, da prinese na žrtvu Gospodu Bogu tvom u Galgalu.
21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.”
22 Ali Samuilo reče: Zar su mile Gospodu žrtve paljenice i prinosi kao kad se sluša glas Njegov? Gle, poslušnost je bolja od žrtve i pokornost od pretiline ovnujske.
22 Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 Jer je neposlušnost kao greh od čaranja, i nepokornost kao sujeverstvo i idolopoklonstvo. Odbacio si reč Gospodnju, zato je i On tebe odbacio da ne budeš više car.
23 For 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.”
24 Tada reče Saul Samuilu: Zgrešio sam što sam prestupio zapovest Gospodnju i tvoje reči; jer pobojah se naroda i poslušah glas njegov.
24 Saul 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.
25 Nego sada oprosti mi greh moj, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”
26 A Samuilo reče Saulu: Neću se vratiti s tobom, jer si odbacio reč Gospodnju, i zato je tebe Gospod odbacio da ne budeš više car nad Izrailjem.
26 Samuel 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.”
27 I Samuilo se okrete da ide, ali ga Saul uhvati za skut od plašta njegovog, te se odadre.
27 As Samuel turned around to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 Tada mu reče Samuilo: Odadro je Gospod carstvo Izrailjevo od tebe danas, i dao ga bližnjem tvom, koji je bolji od tebe.
28 Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29 I doista Junak Izrailjev neće slagati, niti će se raskajati; jer nije čovek da se kaje.
29 Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
30 A on reče: Zgrešio sam; ali mi sad učini čast pred starešinama naroda mog i pred Izrailjem, i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Gospodu Bogu tvom.
30 Then 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.”
31 I vrativši se Samuilo otide za Saulom, i pokloni se Saul Gospodu.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
32 Potom reče Samuilo: Dovedite mi Agaga, cara amaličkog. I dođe k njemu Agag veseo, jer govoraše Agag: Zaista, prošla je gorčina smrtna.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me!” Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 Ali Samuilo reče: Kako je tvoj mač učinio te su žene ostale bez dece, tako će ostati bez dece tvoja majka među ženama. I iseče Samuilo Agaga pred Gospodom u Galgalu.
33 Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women!” Then Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.
34 Potom otide Samuilo u Ramu, a Saul otide kući svojoj u Gavaju Saulovu.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 I Samuilo ne vide više Saula do svoje smrti, i plakaše Samuilo za Saulom, što se Gospod pokaja što je postavio Saula carem nad Izrailjem.
35 Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned for Saul. Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Behold, a ready obedience is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." David also says: "Sacrifice and oblation Thou didst not desire, but mine ears hast Thou perfected; burnt-offerings also for sin Thou hast not required." He thus teaches them that God desires obedience, which renders them secure, rather than sacrifices and holocausts, which avail them …
Again Saul sinned through disobedience, and again Samuel says to him in the word of the Lord, "Because thou hast despised the word of the Lord, the Lord hath despised thee, that thou mayest not be king over Israel." And again for the same sin, when Saul confessed it, and prayed for pardon, and besought Samuel to return with him …
