Samuel asks this question to emphasize that obedience is much more important than sacrifice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Yahweh does not delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying his voice!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the voice of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shəmūʼēl the,delight to/for=YHWH in/on/at/with,burnt_offerings and,sacrifices as,obeying in/on/at/with,voice YHWH see/lo/see! obey than,sacrifice good to,heed than,fat rams )
Here “voice” refers to the commands that Yahweh spoke. Alternate translation: “the things that Yahweh commanded”
(Occurrence 0) Obedience is better than sacrifice
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shəmūʼēl the,delight to/for=YHWH in/on/at/with,burnt_offerings and,sacrifices as,obeying in/on/at/with,voice YHWH see/lo/see! obey than,sacrifice good to,heed than,fat rams )
God wanted Saul’s complete obedience in the destruction of the Amalekites. Nothing in the land was fit for sacrifice.
(Occurrence 0) better than the fat of rams
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shəmūʼēl the,delight to/for=YHWH in/on/at/with,burnt_offerings and,sacrifices as,obeying in/on/at/with,voice YHWH see/lo/see! obey than,sacrifice good to,heed than,fat rams )
Alternate translation: “better than to sacrifice the fat of rams as a burnt offering”
15:22 What is more pleasing: God values obedience much more than ritual (see also Ps 40:6; Hos 6:6; Matt 12:7).
• the fat of rams: The choicest parts of the animal were offered to God.
