1 Samuel 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 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.	1 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܠܝ ܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܡܫܚܟ ܕܬܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܥܡܗ ܗܫܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܩܠ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ
2 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.	2 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܕܟܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܥܡܠܝܩ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܟܕ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ
3 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.	3 ܗܫܐ ܙܠ ܚܪܘܒ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܠܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܘܣ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܩ̇ܛܠ ܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܢܫ̈ܐ ܘܡܢ ܥ̈ܠܝܡܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝ̈ܠܘܕܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܡ̈ܠܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܡܪ̈ܐ
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.	4 ܘܐܫܡܥ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒ̈ܛܠܝܐ ܡܐ̈ܬܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܐ ܘܥܣܪܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܥܡ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.	5 ܘܐܬܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܕܢ ܒܢܚܠܐ
6 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.	6 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܩܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܣܛܘ ܘܙܠܘ ܘܚܘܬܘ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܥܡ̈ܠܩܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܘܒܕܟܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܟܕ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܣܛܘ ܩܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܥܡܠܩ̈ܝܐ
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.	7 ܘܡܚܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܥܡܠܝܩ ܡܢ ܚܘܝܠܐ ܕܒܡܥܠܢܐ ܕܫܘܕ ܕܩܕܡ ܡܨܪܝܢ
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.	8 ܘܐܚܕ ܠܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܥܡܠܝܩ ܟܕ ܚܝ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܐܘܒܕ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ
9 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.	9 ܘܚܣ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܥܠ ܫܘܦܪܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܘܕܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܕܫܡ̈ܝܢܐ ܘܕܡ̈ܦܛܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗ̇ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܚܪܒܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܕܫܝܛܐ ܘܡܣܠܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܠܗ̇ ܐܘܒܕܘ
10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,	10 ܘܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܡܐܡܪ
11 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.	11 ܐܬܬܘܝܬ ܕܐܡܠܟܬ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܗܦܟ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܡ̈ܠܝ ܠܐ ܐܩܝܡ ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܠܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܘܨܠܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܟܠܗ ܠܠܝܐ
12 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.	12 ܘܩܕܡ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܕܫܐܘܠ ܘܐܬܚܘܝ ܠܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܕܐܬܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܟܪܡܠܐ ܘܗܐ ܡܬܩܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܥܒܪ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܓܠܓܠܐ
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.	13 ܘܐܬܐ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܘܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܦܬܓܡܗ
14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?	14 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܡܢܘ ܩܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ
15 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.	15 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܢ ܥܡܠܝܩ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܚܣ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܦܪܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܘܕܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܕܢܕܒܚܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܘܫܪܟܐ ܚܪܒܢ
16 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.	16 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܫܬܘܩ ܐܚܘܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܡܪ
17 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?	17 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܗܐ ܐܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܪܝܫ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܡܫܚܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܬܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
18 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.	18 ܘܫܕܪܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܙܠ ܚܪܘܒ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܓܡܪ ܐܢܘܢ
19 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?	19 ܐܝܟܘ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܬ ܥܠ ܒܙܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܬ ܕܒܝܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ
20 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.	20 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܫܡܥܬ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܘܐܝܬܝܬ ܠܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܠܥܡ̈ܠܩܝܐ ܐܘܒܕܬ
21 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.	21 ܘܕܒܪ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܒܙܬܐ ܥܢܐ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܚܪܡܐ ܕܢܕܒܚܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܒܓܠܓܠܐ
22 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.	22 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܒ̈ܥܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܒ̈ܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܒܩܠܗ ܗܐ ܫܡܥܐ ܡܢ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܛܒ ܘܠܡܨܬ ܡܢ ܬܪܒܐ ܕܕܟܪ̈ܐ
23 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.	23 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܚܛܝܬܗ ܕܩܨܡܐ ܡܡܪܡܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܩܨܡܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܡܥܫܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܐܣܠܝܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܣܠܝܟ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ
24 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.	24 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܚܛܝܬ ܥܠ ܕܥܒܪܬ ܥܠ ܡܠܬ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܡ̈ܠܝܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܒܩܠܗܘܢ
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.	25 ܗܫܐ ܫܒܘܩ ܠܚܛܝܬܝ ܘܗܦܘܟ ܥܡܝ ܐܣܓܘܕ ܠܡܪܝܐ
26 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.	26 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܠܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܥܡܟ ܥܠ ܕܐܣܠܝܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܣܠܝܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.	27 ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܘܐܚܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܒܟܢܦܐ ܕܦܪܝܣܗ ܘܨܪܝܗܝ
28 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.	28 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܨܪܗ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢܟ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ̇ ܠܚܒܪܟ ܕܛܒ ܡܢܟ
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.	29 ܘܐܦ ܢܨܝܚܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܬܡܠܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܬܡܠܟ
30 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.	30 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܚܛܝܬ ܗܫܐ ܝܩܪܝܢܝ ܩܕܡ ܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܘܩܕܡ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܗܦܘܟ ܥܡܝ ܐܣܓܘܕ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.	31 ܘܗܦܟ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܒܬܪ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܣܓܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܠܡܪܝܐ
32 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.	32 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܩܪܒܝܗܝ ܠܝ ܠܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܥܡܠܝܩ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܓܓ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܪܝܪ ܡܘܬܐ
33 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.	33 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܓܙܝܬ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܚܪܒܟ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܓܙܐ ܐܡܟ ܡܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܘܦܫܚ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܐܓܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܓܠܓܠܐ
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.	34 ܘܐܙܠ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܪܡܬܐ ܘܫܐܘܠ ܣܠܩ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܠܪܡܬܐ ܕܫܐܘܠ
35 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.	35 ܘܠܐ ܐܘܣܦ ܬܘܒ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܝܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܐܒܠ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܥܠ ܫܐܘܠ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܬܘܝ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
