15 ¹Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Yɛn Agya na ɔsomaa me sɛ memfa ngo nsra wo sɛ ɔhene wɔ ne man Israel so. Afei tie yɛn Agya nsɛm.

²Sɛɛ na ɔsoro dɔm Agya se: ‘Makae nea Amalek yɛɛ Israel, sɛnea ɔsiw wɔn kwan bere a wofi Misraim reba no. ³Kɔ na kɔtow hyɛ Amalek so, na sɛe nea ɛyɛ wɔn de nyinaa koraa. Nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ; kum mmarima ne mmaa, mmofra ne nkokoaa, anantwi ne nguan, yoma ne mfurum.’”

⁴Saul frɛɛ akofo no ma wɔbɛhyiaa, na ɔkan wɔn wɔ Telaim: nnipa 200,000 a wɔnam fam, ne Yuda mmarima 10,000. ⁵Saul kɔɔ Amalek kurow no ase, na ɔkɔtɛw wɔ obon no mu twɛnee. ⁶Saul ka kyerɛɛ Kenifo no se, “Monkɔ, momfi hɔ, momfi Amalekfo no mu, anyɛ saa a mɛsɛe mo ne wɔn nyinaa; efisɛ moyɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa ayamye bere a wofi Misraim baa no.” Enti Kenifo no fii Amalekfo no mu.

⁷Afei Saul kunkum Amalekfo no fi Hawila kosii Sur a ɛwɔ Misraim apuei fam no. ⁸Ɔkyeree Amalekfo hene Agag a ɔte ase, nanso ɔde nkrante sɛee nnipa no nyinaa koraa. ⁹Saul ne akofo no gyaa Agag ne nguan ne anantwi a ɛyɛ papa, nea wɔadodɔ ne nguantenmma, nneɛma pa nyinaa, nkwa. Wɔampɛ sɛ wɔsɛe wɔn, na mmom nea wobuu no animtiaa na ɛho nni mfaso nyinaa na wɔsɛee no koraa.

¹⁰Afei yɛn Agya asɛm baa Samuel nkyɛn se:

¹¹“Me werɛ ahow sɛ meyɛɛ Saul ɔhene; wasan afi mʼakyi, na wanyɛ nea mehyɛɛ no no.” Samuel bo fuw, na osu frɛɛ yɛn Agya anadwo mu nyinaa. ^a a v11 Bere a yɛn Agya ka se ne “werɛ ahow” sɛ ɔyɛɛ Saul ɔhene no, ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔregye atom sɛ ɔfom, na mmom ɔda awerɛhow ankasa a ɔwɔ wɔ Saul a ɔdan nʼakyi no ho adi — sɛnea nkyekyɛm 29 kyerɛ no pefee no, ɔnsesa nʼadwene sɛnea onipa yɛ no.

¹²Samuel sɔre anɔpa ntɛm sɛ ɔrekohyia Saul, na wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Saul kɔɔ Karmel, na ɔsii nkaedum maa ne ho, afei ɔdan ne ho sian kɔɔ Gilgal.”

¹³Samuel kɔɔ Saul nkyɛn. Saul kae se, “Yɛn Agya nhyira wo! Mayɛ nea yɛn Agya hyɛɛ no.”

¹⁴Nanso Samuel bisaa se, “Dɛn ne nguan su a ɛreba mʼaso yi, ne anantwi su a mete yi?”

¹⁵Saul buaa se, “Wɔde wɔn fii Amalekfo no nkyɛn baa; akofo no gyaa nguan ne anantwi a ɛyɛ papa no nkwa sɛ wɔde bɛbɔ afɔre ama wʼAgya, nanso wɔsɛee nkae no koraa.”

¹⁶Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Gyae, ma menka nea yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ me anadwo yi nkyerɛ wo.” Saul kae se, “Ka.”

¹⁷Samuel kae se, “Ɛwom sɛ na woyɛ ketewa wɔ wʼankasa wʼani so de, nanso wʼankɔyɛɛ Israel mmusuakuw ti? Yɛn Agya sraa wo ngo sɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel so, ¹⁸na yɛn Agya somaa wo kwan bi so kae se, ‘Kɔ na kɔsɛe nnebɔneyɛfo no, Amalekfo no, koraa; ko tia wɔn kosi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase.’” ¹⁹Adɛn nti na woantie yɛn Agya nne? Wotow hyɛɛ asade no so, na woyɛɛ bɔne wɔ yɛn Agya ani so.

²⁰Saul ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Metiee yɛn Agya nne ampa! Mekɔɔ kwan a yɛn Agya somaa me no so, mede Amalek hene Agag baa, na mesɛee Amalekfo no koraa. ²¹Nanso akofo no faa nguan ne anantwi a ɛyɛ papa no fii asade a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no koraa no mu, sɛ wɔde bɛbɔ afɔre ama wʼAgya wɔ Gilgal.”

²²Samuel kae se, “Yɛn Agya ani gye ɔhyew afɔre ne afɔrebɔ ho sɛnea nʼani gye yɛn Agya nne a wotie no ho anaa? Osetie yɛ papa sen afɔrebɔ, na asotie yɛ papa sen adwennini srade. ²³Efisɛ atuatew te sɛ abisa bɔne, na ahantan te sɛ abosonsom mu bɔne. Esiane sɛ woapo yɛn Agya asɛm nti, wapo wo sɛ wonyɛ ɔhene bio.”

²⁴Saul ka kyerɛɛ Samuel se, “Mayɛ bɔne. Mabu yɛn Agya mmara ne wo nsɛm so, efisɛ na misuro nkurɔfo no, na metiee wɔn. ²⁵Afei mesrɛ wo, fa me bɔne kyɛ me, na san ka me ho, na mentumi nsom yɛn Agya.”

²⁶Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Merensan nka wo ho. Woapo yɛn Agya asɛm, na yɛn Agya apo wo sɛ wonyɛ ɔhene wɔ Israel so.” ²⁷Bere a Samuel danee ne ho sɛ ɔrekɔ no, Saul soo Samuel atade ano, na ɛtetew. ²⁸Samuel ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛn Agya atetew Israel ahenni afi wo nsa nnɛ, de ama wo yɔnko bi a ɔyɛ papa sen wo. ²⁹Israel Anuonyam, yɛn Agya, rentwa atoro, na ɔrensesa nʼadwene, efisɛ ɔnyɛ onipa a ɔsesa nʼadwene.”

³⁰Saul kae se, “Mayɛ bɔne, nanso mesrɛ wo, hyɛ me anuonyam seesei wɔ me nkurɔfo mpanyimfo ne Israel anim; san ka me ho, na mentumi nsom wʼAgya.”

³¹Enti Samuel ne Saul san kɔe, na Saul som yɛn Agya. ³²Afei Samuel kae se, “Momfa Amalekfo hene Agag mmrɛ me.” Agag de akokoduru baa ne nkyɛn, na osusuw se, “Ampa ara owu ho asiane no atwam.”

³³Samuel kae se, “Sɛnea wo nkrante ama mmaa ahwere wɔn mma no, saa ara na wo na nso bɛhwere ne ba wɔ mmaa mu.” Afei ɔtwitwaa Agag mu asinasin wɔ yɛn Agya anim wɔ Gilgal.

³⁴Afei Samuel kɔɔ Rama, na Saul foro kɔɔ ne fi wɔ Saul Gibea. ³⁵Samuel anhu Saul bio kosii ne wu da, nanso Samuel dii Saul ho awerɛhow. Na yɛn Agya werɛ howee sɛ ɔyɛɛ Saul ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
