12 Esi Samuel fɔ kaba be yeayi aɖakpe Saul le ŋdi la, wogblɔ na Samuel be: “Saul yi Karmel,+ eye wòɖi ŋkuɖodzikpe ɖe afi ma na eɖokui.+ Eye wòtrɔ yi Gilgal.”
13 Esi Samuel va Saul gbɔ mlɔeba la, Saul gblɔ nɛ be: “Yehowa neyra wò. Mewɔ Yehowa ƒe gbe dzi.”
14 Ke Samuel biae be: “Ke alẽwo kple nyiwo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃ kae nye ema sem mele ɖe to me?”+
15 Saul ɖo eŋu be: “Amalektɔwo gbɔe wokplɔ wo tsoe, elabena dukɔ la kpɔ* alẽ kple nyi nyuitɔwo ta, be woatsɔ wo asa vɔ na Yehowa wò Mawu; ke míetsrɔ̃ nu susɔeawo ya gbidigbidi.”
16 Eye Samuel gblɔ na Saul be: “Tɔ gbɔ! Magblɔ nya si Yehowa gblɔ nam etsɔ zã me la na wò.”+ Eya ta egblɔ nɛ be: “Ƒo nu!”
17 Eye Samuel gblɔ be: “Ðe menye esime mèbu ɖokuiwò ɖe naneke me o+ ye nèzu Israel-toawo ƒe tatɔ, eye Yehowa si ami na wò nèzu fia ɖe Israel nu oa?+
18 Emegbe Yehowa dɔ wò ɖe dɔgbe gblɔ be: ‘Heyi, ne nàtsrɔ̃ nu vɔ̃ wɔla siwo nye Amalektɔwo gbidigbidi.+ Wɔ aʋa kpli wo va se ɖe esime nètsrɔ̃ wo vɔ keŋkeŋ.’+
19 Ekema nu ka tae mèɖo to Yehowa ƒe gbe o? Ke boŋ nètsɔ ŋukeklẽ yi ɖaha aboyonuwo+ hewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume!”
20 Ke Saul gblɔ na Samuel be: “Gake meɖo to Yehowa ƒe gbe ɖe! Mede nu si gbe Yehowa dɔm ɖo, eye mekplɔ Amalek-fia Agag vɛ, ke metsrɔ̃ Amalektɔwo ya gbidigbidi.+
21 Gake dukɔ la ha alẽwo kple nyi siwo nye aboyonu siwo wòle be woatsrɔ̃ gbidii la ƒe nyuitɔwo be woatsɔ asa vɔ na Yehowa wò Mawu le Gilgal.”+
22 Eye Samuel ɖo eŋu nɛ be: “Ðe numevɔsawo kple vɔsawo dzea Yehowa ŋu wu+ toɖoɖo Yehowa ƒe gbea? Kpɔ ɖa! Toɖoɖo nyo wu vɔsa,+ eye nusese nyo wu agbo ƒe ami;+

24 Eye Saul gblɔ na Samuel be: “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃, meda Yehowa ƒe se kple wò nyawo dzi, elabena ɖe mevɔ̃ dukɔ la, eya tae meɖo to woƒe gbe ɖo.
25 Ke azɔ meɖe kuku, tsɔ nye nu vɔ̃ la kem, eye nàgbugbɔ ayi kplim, ne maɖade ta agu na Yehowa.”+
26 Ke Samuel gblɔ na Saul be: “Nyemagbugbɔ kpli wò o, elabena ègbe Yehowa ƒe nya, eye Yehowa hã gbe wò be màgaɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi o.”+
27 Esi Samuel trɔ be yeadzo la, Saul lé eƒe awu ʋlaya si ŋu abɔ mele o la toga, eye wòdze.
28 Eye Samuel gblɔ nɛ be: “Yehowa dze Israel ƒe fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò egbea, eye wòatsɔe ana hawòvi si nyo wu wò.+
29 Hekpe ɖe eŋu la, Israel ƒe Bubutɔ+ la maka aʋatso o,+ eye matrɔ susu o,* elabena menye amegbetɔ wònye, ne wòatrɔ susu o.”*+
30 Eye wògblɔ be: “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃. Ke meɖe kuku, de bubu ŋunye le nye dukɔ la ƒe ametsitsiwo ŋkume kple Israel ŋkume. Gbugbɔ kplim, ne maɖade ta agu na Yehowa wò Mawu la.”+
31 Eya ta Samuel gbugbɔ kple Saul yi, eye Saul yi ɖade ta agu na Yehowa.
32 Eye Samuel gblɔ be: “Mikplɔ Amalek-fia Agag vɛ nam.” Agag zɔ heheɖemegbetɔe* yi egbɔ, eye Agag gblɔ na eɖokui be: ‘Nyateƒee, ku ƒe vɔvɔ̃* bú.’
33 Ke Samuel gblɔ be: “Ale si ko wò yi na nyɔnuwo zu konɔe la, nenemae dawò hã azu konɔwo ƒe konɔ le nyɔnuwo dome.” Ale Samuel fli Agag kakɛkakɛe le Yehowa ŋkume le Gilgal.+
34 Emegbe Samuel dzo yi Rama, eye Saul hã yi eƒe me le Saul ƒe Gibea.
35 Eye Samuel megakpɔ Saul kpɔ gbeɖe o va se ɖe eƒe kugbe, ke Samuel xa nu le Saul ta.+ Eve Yehowa be yeɖo Saul fiae ɖe Israel nu.+
