1 To nathuem ah Philistinnawk loe Israel kaminawk tuk hanah amkhueng o; Akhish mah David khaeah, Nang hoi nangmah ih kaminawk mah misatuk nang bomh o han oh, tiah panoek oh, tiah a naa.
And it cometh to pass in those days, that the Philistines gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and Achish saith unto David, 'Thou dost certainly know that with me thou dost go out into the camp, thou and thy men.'
2 David mah, Na tamna mah timaw ka sakthaih, tito na panoek, tiah a naa. To pongah Akhish mah, ka hinghaih toepkung ah kang suek poe han, tiah a naa.
And David saith unto Achish, 'Therefore — thou dost know that which thy servant dost do.' And Achish saith unto David, 'Therefore — keeper of my head I do appoint thee all the days.'
3 To naah Samuel to duek pongah, Israel kaminawk boih mah anih to qah o haih pacoengah, angmah ih vangpui Ramah ah anih to aphum o. Saul mah ma-uih hoi kadueh pakhra kawkthaih kaminawk to prae thung hoiah tamit boih boeh.
And Samuel hath died, and all Israel mourn for him, and bury him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul hath turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Philistin kaminawk angzoh o moe, Shunem vangpui ah atai o; to naah Saul mah doeh Israel kaminawk to pakhueng boih moe, Gilboa ah atai o toeng.
And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathereth all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
5 Saul mah Philistin misatuh kaminawk to hnuk naah zit moe, paroeai tasoehhaih palungthin to tawnh.
and Saul seeth the camp of the Philistines, and feareth, and his heart trembleth greatly,
6 Saul mah Angraeng khaeah hnik naah, Angraeng mah amang ah doeh, Urim hoi tahmaanawk khae hoiah doeh pathim pae ai.
and Saul asketh at Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not answered him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
7 To pongah Saul mah a taengah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Kai hanah kadueh pakhra kawk thaih nongpata maeto pakrong oh; anih khaeah ka caeh moe, lok ka dueng han vop, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Endor vangpui ah kadueh pakhra kawk thaih nongpata maeto oh, tiah a thuih pae o.
And Saul saith to his servants, 'Seek for me a woman possessing a familiar spirit, and I go unto her, and inquire of her;' and his servants say unto him, 'Lo, a woman possessing a familiar spirit in En-dor.'
8 To pongah Saul loe kalah khukbuen to angkhuk moe, krang angthlaeng pacoengah, khoving naah angmah ih kami hnetto hoi nawnto nongpata khaeah caeh; anih mah, Kadueh pakhra to lokdueng ah, kang thuih ih ahmin to kai hanah na kawk paeh, tiah a naa.
And Saul disguiseth himself and putteth on other garments, and goeth, he and two of the men with him, and they come in unto the woman by night, and he saith, 'Divine, I pray thee, to me by the familiar spirit, and cause to come up to me him whom I say unto thee.'
9 Toe to nongpata mah anih khaeah, Khenah, Saul mah kadueh pakhra kawk thaih kaminawk hoi mauihnawk to prae thung hoiah haek boih boeh, tiah na panoek boeh; tipongah kai paduek hanah thaang nang patung loe? tiah a naa.
And the woman saith unto him, 'Lo, thou hast known that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why art thou laying a snare for my soul — to put me to death?'
10 Saul mah nongpata khaeah, Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, hae hmuen pongah danpaekhaih tidoeh om mak ai, tiah a naa.
And Saul sweareth to her by Jehovah, saying, 'Jehovah liveth, punishment doth not meet thee for this thing.'
11 To pongah to nongpata mah, Mi maw kang kawk pae han? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Samuel to na kawk paeh, tiah a naa.
And the woman saith, 'Whom do I bring up to thee?' and he saith, 'Samuel — bring up to me.'
12 To nongpata mah Samuel to hnuk naah, Tha hoiah hangh moe, Saul khaeah, Tipongah nang ling loe? Nang loe Saul na ai maw? tiah a naa.
And the woman seeth Samuel, and crieth with a loud voice, and the woman speaketh unto Saul, saying, 'Why hast thou deceived me — and thou Saul?'
13 Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Zii hmah, timaw na hnuk? tiah a naa. Nongpata mah, Long thung hoi tacawt tahang sithawnawk to ka hnuk, tiah a naa.
And the king saith to her, 'Do not fear; for what hast thou seen?' and the woman saith unto Saul, 'Gods I have seen coming up out of the earth.'
14 Saul mah, Anih ih krang loe kawbangmaw oh? tiah a naa. Nongpata mah, Kahni kasawk angkhuk, mitong maeto angzoh tahang, tiah a naa. To naah Saul mah anih loe Samuel boeh ni, tiah panoek pongah, takhumh moe, long ah akuep tathuk.
And he saith to her, 'What [is] his form?' and she saith, 'An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an upper robe;' and Saul knoweth that he [is] Samuel, and boweth — face to thee earth — and doth obeisance.
15 Samuel mah Saul khaeah, Tipongah raihaih paek hanah nang kawk tahang loe? tiah a naa. Saul mah, Philistinnawk mah kai ang tuk o pongah, ka poekhaih angpho parai; Sithaw mah kai angqoi taak boeh moe, ka lok doeh pathim ai boeh; tahmaanawk khae hoi doeh, amang ah doeh na pathim ai boeh; to pongah timaw ka sak han angaih, tiah nang hnuksak hanah kang kawk, tiah a naa.
And Samuel saith unto Saul, 'Why hast thou troubled me, to bring me up?' And Saul saith, 'I have great distress, and the Philistines are fighting against me, God hath turned aside from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for thee to let me know what I do.'
16 Samuel mah, Angraeng mah ang caehtaak moe, nang ih misa ah oh boeh, tiah na panoek boeh to mah, tih hanah kai khaeah lok nang dueng vop loe?
And Samuel saith, 'And why dost thou ask me, and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee, and is thine enemy?
17 Anih mah kai khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Angmah hanah sak boeh; Angraeng mah na prae to na ban thung hoiah lak ving boeh moe, na imtaeng ah kaom, David khaeah paek boeh.
And Jehovah doth for Himself as He hath spoken by my hand, and Jehovah rendeth the kingdom out of thy hand, and giveth it to thy neighbour — to David.
18 Angraeng ih lok to na tahngai ai pongah, Kanung parai Angraeng palungphuihaih baktih toengah, Amalek kaminawk nuiah hmuen na sah ai pongah, vaihniah Angraeng mah na nuiah toksak boeh.
Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, nor didst the fierceness of His anger on Amalek — therefore this thing hath Jehovah done to thee this day;
19 Angraeng mah nangmah hoi Israel to Philistin kaminawk ban ah paek tih boeh; khawnbang ah nangmah hoi na capa loe kai hoi nawnto om tih. Israel misatuh kaminawk doeh Angraeng mah Philistinnawk ban ah paek tih, tiah a naa.
yea, Jehovah giveth also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow thou and thy sons [are] with me; also the camp of Israel doth Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines.'
20 To naah Saul loe long ah amtim bung; Samuel ih lok pongah Saul loe zithaih palungthin hoiah koi. Aqum athun buhcaa ai pongah, tha om ai boeh.
And Saul hasteth and falleth — the fulness of his stature — to the earth, and feareth greatly because of the words of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day, and all the night.
21 Saul khaeah nongpata to angzoh moe, Saul loe paroeai zithaih hoiah oh boeh, tiah anih mah hnuk naah, Khenah, na tamna nongpata mah na lok kang tahngaih pae boeh; ka hinghaih paawt ai ah na ban ah kang ap, na lok ka tahngaih pongah, kai khaeah nang thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak boeh.
And the woman cometh in unto Saul, and seeth that he hath been greatly troubled, and saith unto him, 'Lo, thy maid-servant hath hearkened to thy voice, and I put my soul in my hand, and I obey thy words which thou hast spoken unto me;
22 Vaihi na tamna nongpata ih lok to tahngaih loe, na caeh naah tha oh let thai hanah, caaknaek zetta kang paek han, tiah a naa.
and now, hearken, I pray thee, also thou, to the voice of thy maid-servant, and I set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and there is in thee power when thou goest in the way.'
23 Toe anih mah angmak pae, Ka caa mak ai, tiah a naa. Toe a tamnanawk hoi nongpata mah, anih to pacae o nganga; to pongah nihcae ih lok to anih mah tahngaih pae. To pongah anih loe long hoiah angthawk tahang moe, anghnuthaih tangkhang nuiah anghnut.
And he refuseth, and saith, 'I do not eat;' and his servants urge on him, and also the woman, and he hearkeneth to their voice, and riseth from the earth, and sitteth on the bed.
24 Nongpata mah angmah im ih kathawk parai maitaw caa maeto karangah boh; takaw to a lak moe, taeh thuh ai ah takaw to haek:
And the woman hath a calf of the stall in the house, and she hasteth and slaughtereth it, and taketh flour, and kneadeth, and baketh it unleavened things,
25 Takaw to Saul hoi angmah ih kaminawk hmaa ah patoem pae; nihcae mah caak o. To pacoengah nihcae loe angthawk o moe, to na qum ah a caeh o.
and bringeth nigh before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on, during that night.
