BCC ⁸ Il attendit sept jours, selon le terme fixé par Samuel. Mais Samuel n'arrivait pas à Galgala, et le peuple se dispersait loin de Saül.

KJV ⁸ And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

BCC ⁹ Alors Saül dit : « amenez-moi l'holocauste et les sacrifices pacifiques. » Et il offrit l'holocauste.

KJV ⁹ And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

BCC ¹⁰ Comme il achevait d'offrir l'holocauste, voici que Samuel arriva, et Saül sortit au-devant de lui pour le saluer.

KJV ¹⁰ And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.

BCC ¹¹ Samuel lui dit : « Qu'as-tu fait ? » Saül répondit : « Lorsque j'ai vu que le peuple se dispersait loin de moi, que tu n'arrivais pas au terme fixé et que les Philistins étaient assemblés à Machmas,

KJV ¹¹ And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;

BCC ¹² je me suis dit : Maintenant, les Philistins vont descendre contre moi à Galgala, et je n'ai pas imploré Yahweh. Alors, me faisant violence, j'ai offert l'holocauste. »

KJV ¹² Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

BCC ¹³ Samuel dit à Saül : « Tu as agi en insensé, tu n'as pas observé le commandement que Yahweh ton Dieu t'avait donné ; car Yahweh aurait affermi pour toujours ton règne sur Israël.

KJV ¹³ And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

BCC ¹⁴ Mais maintenant, ton règne ne subsistera point. Yahweh s'est cherché un homme selon son coeur et Yahweh l'a destiné à être le chef de son peuple, parce que tu n'as pas observé ce que Yahweh t'avait ordonné. »

KJV ¹⁴ But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
