1 Sa:miuele 28
1 Fa: no, eso enoga Filisidini dunu ilia da Isala: ili fi ilima gegemusa: , dadi gagui dunu gilisi. Amola A: igise da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Di amola dia dunu da namagale Isala: ili dunuma gegemu.”
Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
2 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Ma! Dafawane! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu. Amola di da na hamobe di siga disu ba: mu.” A: igise da amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da di na da: i gaga: su dunu hamomu.”
David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
3 Sa: miuele da bogoi dagoi amola Isala: ili dunu ilia bogoi didigia: lalu amola hina: moilaidafa La: ima amoga uli dogoi. Solo da wadela: i ba: la: lusu dunu, gesami dasu amola bosa: ga: su uda amola dunu amo Isala: ili sogega sefasi dagoi ba: i.
[While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
4 Filisidini dadi gagui dunu da mogodigili asili amola Siouneme moilai gadenene wa: i fi esalu. Solo da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu gilisili, Giliboua Goumia awalia wa: i fi esalu.
The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
5 Solo da Filisidini dadi gagui gilisibi ba: loba, e da baligili beda: i galu.
When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
6 Amaiba: le, e da Hina Godema adi hamoma: bela: le adole ba: i. Be Hina Gode da ema golaia ba: su amola Iulimi amola Damimi amoga amola balofede dunu ilia sia: amoga dabe hame adole i.
He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
7 Amalalu, Solo da ea eagene ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, “Bosa: ga: su uda afae nagili hogolesima. Amalalu na da ema adole ba: la masunu.” Ilia da ema amane adole i, “Bosa: ga: su uda da Enedo moilaiga esala.”
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
8 Amaiba: le, Solo da enoga e dawa: digisa: besa: le, hina: da: i afadenei. E abula eno salawane, gasibi galu e amola dunu aduna eno, amo uda ba: la asi. E amo udama amane sia: i, “Bogoi a: silibuma adole ba: lalu, hobea misunu hou nama olelema. Dunu ea dio na sia: mu, amo ea a: silibu misa: ne sia: ma.”
So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
9 Bosa: ga: su uda da Soloma bu adole i, “Dia da abuliba: le na bogosu logo fodosala: ? Di da hina bagade Solo ea hamobe hame dawa: sala: ? E da ba: la: lusu dunu amola bosa: ga: su dunu amola uda huluane Isala: ili sogega sefasi dagoi.”
But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
10 Amalalu, Solo da dafawanedafa sia: amane ilegei, “Esalebe Hina Gode amo Ea Dioba: le, di da amo hou hamosea, se iasu hamedafa ba: mu, amo na da ilegesa.”
Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
11 Uda da bu adole ba: i, “Na da di ba: ma: ne, nowa bogoi dunu amo misa: ne sia: ma: bela: ?” Solo da adole i, “Sa: miuele!”
Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
12 Be uda da Sa: miuele manebe ba: beba: le, a:a: ia gusa: nu, Soloma amane sia: i, “Di da abuliba: le nama ogogobela: ? Di da hina bagade Solofa galu galebe!”
[So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
13 Hina bagade Solo da ema amane sia: i, “Mae beda: ma! Di da adi ba: sala: ?” Uda da bu adole i, “Na da a: silibu osoba gudunini heda: lebe ba: sa!”
Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
14 E bu adole ba: i, “Amo da adi agoane ba: sala: ?” Uda da amane sia: i, “Amo da dunu da: i hamoi agoai heda: lebe.” “E da abula amoga idinigi galebe.” Amalalu, Solo da amo bogoi a: silibu da Sa: miuele galebeya dawa: digi. Amola e da ema nodomusa: , osoba begudui.
Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
15 Sa: miuele da Soloma amane sia: i, “Dia da abuliba: le na didilisibala: ? Dia da abuliba: le na buhagima: ne hamobela: ?” Solo da bu adole i, “Bidi hamosu bagade da nama doaga: i dagoi. Filisidini dunu da nama gegenana amola Gode da na yolesi dagoi. E da nama golaia amola balofede dunumadi na adole ba: su amo nama dabe hame adole iaha. Amaiba: le, na da dima wele sia: na misi. Di da nama, na hamomu liligi olelema!”
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
16 Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da di yolesili, bu dimawane ha lai dagoi. Amaiba: le, di da abuliba: le na misa: ne wele sia: bela: ?
Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
17 Hina Gode da na lafidili dima olelei liligi amo hamoi dagoi. E da dia hina bagade hou amo dima fadegale, Da: ibidima i dagoi.
He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
18 Di da Hina Gode Ea sia: i amo mae nabawane, A:malege dunu amola ilia liligi huluane wadela: ma: nedafa hame hamoi. Hina Gode Ea wali dima hamobe amo ea bai da goea.
You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
19 E da di amola Isala: ili fi amo ali Filisidini dunu ilia lobo da: iya imunu. Aya eso, di amola diagofelali da nama gilisimu. Amola Hina Gode da Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i amo Filisidini dunu ilia lobo da: iya imunu.”
Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
20 Amogalu, hedolowane Solo da osoba gala: la sa: ili, mogosusuli dialebe ba: i. E da Sa: miuele ea sia: beba: le baligili beda: i galu. E da amo esoha amola gasia ha: i hame maiba: le, gasa hame ba: i.
Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Uda da ema asili, e da baligili beda: i amo ba: beba: le, e amane sia: i, “Dafawane, Hina! Na da dia adole ba: i amo hamobeba: le, na esalusu gadenenewane udidimu agoai ba: i.
The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
22 Dafawane, wali na dima adoleba: be amo dia hamoma. Na da digili ha: i manu hamoma: ne sia: ma. Di da bu gasa lama: ne, ha: i manu da defea.”
So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
23 Solo da ha: i hame manu sia: i. Be ea eagene ouligisu dunu da e ha: i moma: ne logei. E da ouesalu, amalalu ilia sia: nababeba: le, osoba dialu wa: legadole, dia heda: su fafai amoga fila heda: i.
But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Uda da hedolowane bulamagau mano (amo da sefe fima: ne, e da diasu ganodini ha: i manu iasu) amo fane legei. E da agi lale, hahamonanu, yisidi mae salawane gobei.
The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
25 E da amo ha: i manu Solo amola ea ouligisu dunu ilia moma: ne, ilia midadi ligisi. Amalu, ilia da amo mai. Amola ilia amo gasia yolesili asi.
She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
