1 Rg 15:1Et dīxit Samuēl ad Saul: Mē mīsit Dominus ut ungerem tē in rēgem super populum ejus Isrāël: nunc ergō audī vōcem Dominī.And Samuel said to Saul: "The Lord sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel: now therefore listen to the voice of the Lord. 1 Rg 15:2Haec dīcit Dominus exercituum: Recēnsuī quaecumque fēcit Amalec Israëlī: quōmodo restitit eī in viā cum ascenderet dē Aegyptō.These things says the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up whatever Amalek did to Israel: how he opposed him on the way when he was going up from Egypt. 1 Rg 15:3Nunc ergō vāde, et percute Amalec, et dēmōlīre ūniversa ejus: nōn parcās eī, et nōn concupīscās ex rēbus ipsīus aliquid, sed interfice ā virō ūsque ad mulierem, et parvulum atque lactentem, bovem et ovem, camēlum et asinum.Now therefore go, and strike Amalek, and destroy all that is his: do not spare him, and do not covet anything of his goods, but kill from man even to woman, and little child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." 1 Rg 15:4Praecēpit itaque Saul populō, et recēnsuit eōs quasi agnōs: ducenta mīllia peditum, et decem mīllia virōrum Jūda.So Saul gave orders to the people, and counted them like lambs: two hundred thousand foot-soldiers, and ten thousand men of Judah.

1 Rg 15:5Cumque vēnisset Saul ūsque ad cīvitātem Amalec, tetendit īnsidiās in torrente.And when Saul had come as far as the city of Amalek, he laid an ambush in the torrent-valley. 1 Rg 15:6Dīxitque Saul Cinaeō: Abīte, recēdite, atque dēscendite ab Amalec, nē forte involvam tē cum eō: tū enim fēcistī misericordiam cum omnibus fīliīs Isrāël, cum ascenderent dē Aegyptō.And Saul said to the Kenite: "Go away, withdraw, and go down from Amalek, lest perhaps I wrap you up with him: for you showed mercy to all the sons of Israel, when they were going up from Egypt." 1 Rg 15:6Et recessit Cinaeus dē mediō Amalec.And the Kenite withdrew from the midst of Amalek. 1 Rg 15:7Percussitque Saul Amalec ab Hevilā dōnec veniās ad Sur, quae est ē regiōne Aegyptī.And Saul struck Amalek from Havilah until you come to Shur, which is opposite Egypt. 1 Rg 15:8Et apprehendit Agag rēgem Amalec vīvum: omne autem vulgus interfēcit in ōre gladiī.And he seized Agag, the king of Amalek, alive: but all the common folk he killed with the mouth of the sword. 1 Rg 15:9Et pepercit Saul et populus Agag, et optimīs gregibus ovium et armentōrum, et vestibus et arietibus, et ūniversīs quae pulchra erant, nec voluērunt disperdere ea: quidquid vērō vīle fuit et reprobum, hoc dēmōlītī sunt.And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best flocks of sheep and herds, and garments and rams, and all things which were fine, and they were not willing to destroy them: but whatever was cheap and worthless, this they destroyed.

1 Rg 15:10Factum est autem verbum Dominī ad Samuēl, dīcēns: Poenitet mē quod cōnstituerim Saul rēgem: quia dērelīquit mē, et verba mea opere nōn implēvit.And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying: "It repents me that I have appointed Saul king: because he has forsaken me, and has not fulfilled my words in deed." 1 Rg 15:11Contrīstātusque est Samuēl, et clāmāvit ad Dominum tōtā nocte.And Samuel was saddened, and cried out to the Lord the whole night. 1 Rg 15:12Cumque dē nocte surrēxisset Samuēl ut īret ad Saul māne, nūntiātum est Samuelī eō quod vēnisset Saul in Carmēlum, et ērēxisset sibi fornicem triumphālem, et reversus trānsīsset, dēscendissetque in Galgala.And when Samuel had risen by night to go to Saul in the morning, it was announced to Samuel that Saul had come into Carmel, and had set up for himself a triumphal arch, and returning had passed on, and had gone down into Gilgal. 1 Rg 15:12Vēnit ergō Samuēl ad Saul, et Saul offerēbat holocaustum Dominō dē initiīs praedārum quae attulerat ex Amalec.So Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a burnt-offering to the Lord from the first of the plunder which he had brought from Amalek.

1 Rg 15:13Et cum vēnisset Samuēl ad Saul, dīxit eī Saul: Benedictus tū Dominō: implēvī verbum Dominī.And when Samuel had come to Saul, Saul said to him: "Blessed are you by the Lord: I have fulfilled the word of the Lord." 1 Rg 15:14Dīxitque Samuēl: Et quae est haec vōx gregum, quae resonat in auribus meīs, et armentōrum, quam ego audiō?And Samuel said: "And what is this voice of the flocks, which resounds in my ears, and of the herds, which I hear?" 1 Rg 15:15Et ait Saul: Dē Amalec addūxērunt ea: pepercit enim populus meliōribus ovibus et armentīs ut immolārentur Dominō Deō tuō, reliqua vērō occīdimus.And Saul said: "They have brought them from Amalek: for the people spared the better sheep and herds so that they might be sacrificed to the Lord your God, but the rest we have killed." 1 Rg 15:16Ait autem Samuēl ad Saul: Sine mē, et indicābō tibi quae locūtus sit Dominus ad mē nocte.And Samuel said to Saul: "Let me be, and I will tell you what the Lord has spoken to me in the night." 1 Rg 15:16Dīxitque eī: Loquere.And he said to him: "Speak."

1 Rg 15:17Et ait Samuēl: Nōnne cum parvulus essēs in oculīs tuīs, caput in tribubus Isrāël factus es?And Samuel said: "When you were little in your own eyes, were you not made head among the tribes of Israel? 1 Rg 15:17Ūnxitque tē Dominus in rēgem super Isrāël, et mīsit tē Dominus in viam, et ait: Vāde, et interfice peccātōrēs Amalec, et pugnābis contrā eōs ūsque ad interneciōnem eōrum?And the Lord anointed you as king over Israel, and the Lord sent you on a way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalek, and you shall fight against them until their destruction? 1 Rg 15:19Quārē ergō nōn audīstī vōcem Dominī: sed versus ad praedam es, et fēcistī malum in oculīs Dominī?Why then have you not listened to the voice of the Lord: but you have turned to the plunder, and have done evil in the eyes of the Lord?" 1 Rg 15:20Et ait Saul ad Samuelem: Immō audīvī vōcem Dominī, et ambulāvī in viā per quam mīsit mē Dominus, et addūxī Agag rēgem Amalec, et Amalec interfēcī.And Saul said to Samuel: "On the contrary, I have listened to the voice of the Lord, and walked on the way by which the Lord sent me, and I have brought Agag, the king of Amalek, and Amalek I have killed.

1 Rg 15:21Tulit autem dē praedā populus ovēs et bovēs, prīmitiās eōrum quae caesa sunt, ut immolet Dominō Deō suō in Galgalīs.But the people took from the plunder sheep and oxen, the first-fruits of those things which have been slain, to sacrifice to the Lord their God in Gilgal." 1 Rg 15:22Et ait Samuēl: Numquid vult Dominus holocausta et victimās, et nōn potius ut obēdiātur vōcī Dominī?And Samuel said: "Does the Lord want burnt-offerings and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord be obeyed? 1 Rg 15:22Melior est enim obēdientia quam victimae, et auscultāre magis quam offerre adipem arietum.For obedience is better than victims, and to listen more than to offer the fat of rams. 1 Rg 15:23Quoniam quasi peccātum ariolandī est, repugnāre: et quasi scelus īdōlolatriae, nōlle acquiēscere.Since to resist is like the sin of divination: and to be unwilling to submit is like the crime of idolatry. 1 Rg 15:23Prō eō ergō quod abjēcistī sermōnem Dominī, abjēcit tē Dominus nē sīs rēx.Therefore, because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has rejected you from being king." 1 Rg 15:24Dīxitque Saul ad Samuelem: Peccāvī, quia praevāricātus sum sermōnem Dominī et verba tua, timēns populum, et obēdiēns vōcī eōrum.And Saul said to Samuel: "I have sinned, because I have transgressed the word of the Lord and your words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.

1 Rg 15:25Sed nunc portā, quaesō, peccātum meum, et revertere mēcum, ut adōrem Dominum.But now bear, I beg, my sin, and return with me, so that I may worship the Lord." 1 Rg 15:26Et ait Samuēl ad Saul: Nōn revertar tēcum, quia prōjēcistī sermōnem Dominī, et prōjēcit tē Dominus nē sīs rēx super Isrāël.And Samuel said to Saul: "I will not return with you, because you have cast away the word of the Lord, and the Lord has cast you away from being king over Israel." 1 Rg 15:27Et conversus est Samuēl ut abīret: ille autem apprehendit summitātem palliī ejus, quae et scissa est.And Samuel turned to go away: but he seized the edge of his cloak, which was also torn. 1 Rg 15:28Et ait ad eum Samuēl: Scidit Dominus regnum Isrāël ā tē hodiē, et trādidit illud proximō tuō meliōrī tē.And Samuel said to him: "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has handed it over to your neighbour, better than you. 1 Rg 15:29Porrō triumphātor in Isrāël nōn parcet, et poenitūdine nōn flectētur: neque enim homō est ut agat poenitentiam.Moreover the triumphant one in Israel will not spare, and will not be bent by repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent."

1 Rg 15:30At ille ait: Peccāvī: sed nunc honōrā mē cōram seniōribus populī meī et cōram Isrāël, et revertere mēcum, ut adōrem Dominum Deum tuum.But he said: "I have sinned: but now honour me before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God." 1 Rg 15:31Reversus ergō Samuēl secūtus est Saulem: et adōrāvit Saul Dominum.So Samuel, returning, followed Saul: and Saul worshipped the Lord. 1 Rg 15:32Dīxitque Samuēl: Addūcite ad mē Agag rēgem Amalec.And Samuel said: "Bring to me Agag, the king of Amalek." 1 Rg 15:32Et oblātus est eī Agag, pinguissimus et tremēns.And Agag was brought to him, very fat and trembling. 1 Rg 15:32Et dīxit Agag: Sīccinē sēparat amāra mors?And Agag said: "Is it thus that bitter death separates?" 1 Rg 15:33Et ait Samuēl: Sīcut fēcit absque līberīs mulierēs gladius tuus, sīc absque līberīs erit inter mulierēs māter tua.And Samuel said: "Just as your sword has made women childless, so childless among women will your mother be." 1 Rg 15:33Et in frusta concīdit eum Samuēl cōram Dominō in Galgalīs.And Samuel cut him into pieces before the Lord in Gilgal. 1 Rg 15:34Abiit autem Samuēl in Ramatha: Saul vērō ascendit in domum suam in Gabaā.And Samuel went off to Ramah: but Saul went up into his house in Gibeah.

1 Rg 15:35Et nōn vīdit Samuēl ultrā Saul ūsque ad diem mortis suae: vērumtamen lūgēbat Samuēl Saulem, quoniam Dominum poenitēbat quod cōnstituisset eum rēgem super Isrāël.And Samuel did not see Saul any more until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, since it repented the Lord that he had appointed him king over Israel.
