1 Samweli 15:9
1 Samuel 15:9 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Lakini Sauli na hilo jeshi wakamhifadhi hai Agagi na kondoo na ngʼombe walio wazuri, mafahali na wana-kondoo walionona kila kitu kilichokuwa kizuri. Hivi vitu hawakuwa radhi kuviangamiza kabisa, bali kila kitu kilichodharauliwa na kilicho dhaifu wakakiangamiza kabisa.
1 Samuel 15:9 in English
1 Samuel 15:9 · Berean Standard Bible
Saul and his troops spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves * and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to destroy them, but they devoted to destruction all that was despised and worthless.
Context
7Ndipo Sauli akawashambulia Waamaleki toka Havila mpaka Shuri, hadi mashariki ya Misri. 8Akamchukua Agagi, mfalme wa Waamaleki akiwa hai, nao watu wake wote akawaangamiza kabisa kwa upanga. 9Lakini Sauli na hilo jeshi wakamhifadhi hai Agagi na kondoo na ngʼombe walio wazuri, mafahali na wana-kondoo walionona kila kitu kilichokuwa kizuri. Hivi vitu hawakuwa radhi kuviangamiza kabisa, bali kila kitu kilichodharauliwa na kilicho dhaifu wakakiangamiza kabisa. 10Kisha neno la Bwana likamjia Samweli kusema: 11“Ninasikitika kwamba nimemfanya Sauli kuwa mfalme, kwa sababu ameacha kunifuata mimi na hakutimiza maagizo yangu.” Samweli akafadhaika, naye akamlilia Bwana usiku ule wote.
