1 Samuel 28
1 E ndalogo jo-Filistia nochoko jolwenjgi mondo oked gi Israel. Akish nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Nyaka ingʼe ni in gi jogi udhi koda e lweny.”
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that thou shalt go forth to battle with me, [thou], and thy men.
2 Daudi nowachone niya, “To koro inine gi wangʼi gima jatiji nyalo timo.” Akish nodwoke niya, “Mano ber, abiro keti jaritna e ndalo duto mar ngimana.”
And David said to Anchus, Thus now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make thee captain of my body-guard continually.
3 Samuel nosetho kendo Israel duto noywage mine giike e dalane man Rama. Saulo noseriembo ajuoke, gi jo-nyakalondo oa e piny.
And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Jo-Filistia nochokore mobiro mojot e Shunem, ka Saulo bende nochoko jo-Israel duto modhi ojot Gilboa.
And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
5 Ka Saulo noneno jolwenj jo-Filistia luoro gi kihondko nomake.
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
6 Nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach, to Jehova Nyasaye ne ok odwoke e yor lek kata gi Urim kata gi dho jonabi.
And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
7 Eka Saulo nowachone joma tiyone niya, “Dwarnauru dhako ma ja-nyakalondo, mondo adhi apenje wach.” Negidwoke niya, “Nitie moro Endor.”
Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
8 Mi Saulo notemo loko nenruokne korwako lewni mopogore opogore, eka en gi ji ariyo moko negidhi ir dhako ma ja-nyakalondo gotieno. Nowacho niya, “Penjna wach kuom chuny ngʼat motho kendo ikelna ngʼatno mabiro nyisi nyinge.”
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the divining spirit within thee, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to thee.
9 Eka dhakono nowachone niya, “Chutho ingʼeyo gima Saulo nosetimo. Osetieko jo-nyakalondo gi ajuoke e piny. Angʼo momiyo ichiko obadho ne ngimana, mondo okelna tho?”
And the woman said to him, Behold now, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why dost thou spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
10 Saulo nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni ok nokumi kuom timo ma.”
And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon thee on this account.
11 Eka dhakoni nopenje niya, “En ngʼa ma idwaro mondo agolni?” Nowachne niya, “Golna Samuel.”
And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to thee? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
12 Kane dhakono oneno Samuel noywak gi dwol maduongʼ mowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo isewuonda? In Saulo!”
And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Kik ibed maluor. Angʼo ma ineno?” To dhakono nowachone niya, “Aneno chuny ngʼama nosetho kawuok e lowo.”
And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom thou has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 To nopenje niya, “Ochalo nadi?” Nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ moti morwako law abola ema wuok.” Eka Saulo nongʼeyo ni en Samuel, mi nokulore nyaka e lowo monindo piny e lowo auma.
And he said to her, What didst thou perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
15 Samuel nowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ichanda kimiyo awuok oko?” Saulo nodwoke niya, “An gi midhiero maduongʼ. Jo-Filistia osemonja kendo kedo koda, Nyasaye bende oseweya. Tinde ok odwoka, gi dwond jonabi kata e yor lek. Mano emomiyo aluongi ni mondo iwachna gima onego atim?”
And Samuel said, Why hast thou troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called thee to tell me what I shall do.
16 Samuel nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenja wach ka Jehova Nyasaye oseweyi mobedo jasiki?
And Samuel said, Why askest thou me, whereas the Lord has departed from thee, and taken part with thy neighbour?
17 Jehova Nyasaye osetimo mana gima nakoroni. Jehova Nyasaye osegolo loch e lweti mi omiye achiel kuom jobathi ma en Daudi.
And the Lord has done to thee, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David.
18 Nikech nidagi winjo Jehova Nyasaye kendo timo kaka nochiki mondo itim ne jo-Amalek mane en-go gi mirima maduongʼ, mano emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye osetimoni gini kawuono.
because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to thee this day.
19 Jehova Nyasaye dhi chiwo jo-Israel kaachiel kodi ni jo-Filistia, kendo kiny in kod yawuoti unubed koda. Jehova Nyasaye biro chiwo jolweny mag Israel ni jo-Filistia.”
And the Lord shall deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow thou and thy sons with thee shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
20 To gisano Saulo nogore moriere piny ka luoro omake nikech weche Samuel. Tekre norumo nikech ne pok ochiemo odiechiengʼ ngima gi otieno.
And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
21 Kane dhakono obiro ir Saulo moneno kaka nobwok malich, nowacho niya, “Ne, jatichni madhako osetimo gima ne ichike. Ne akawo ngimana ka nono kane atimo gima ne iwacho ni atim.
And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, thine handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which thou has spoken to me.
22 Koro yie iwinj jatichni mondo iyiena amiyi chiemo moro minyalo chamo mondo iyud teko mar dok.”
And now hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of thine handmaid, and I will set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and thou shalt be strengthened, for thou wilt be going on thy way.
23 Nodagi mowacho niya, “Ok nachiem.” To joge noriwore gi dhakono kamedo kwaye, mi nowinjogi. Noa malo e lowo mobet e kom.
But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
24 Dhakono ne nigi nyarwath machwe e ode, mine oyangʼe mapiyo piyo. Nokawo mogo, modwalo motedogo makati ma ok oketie thowi.
And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and slew it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
25 Eka noketo chiemo e nyim Saulo gi joge mine gichiemo. Bangʼe ne giwuok gotienono mi gidhi.
And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
