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 together their armies for warfare to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly that thou shalt go out with me to the camp, 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 Achish, Thereby thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my person for ever.
3 Samuel nosetho kendo Israel duto noywage mine giike e dalane man Rama. Saulo noseriembo ajuoke, gi jo-nyakalondo oa e piny.
(Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and they had buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away the necromancers and the soothsayers 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 gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 Ka Saulo noneno jolwenj jo-Filistia luoro gi kihondko nomake.
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 Nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach, to Jehova Nyasaye ne ok odwoke e yor lek kata gi Urim kata gi dho jonabi.
And Saul inquired of Jehovah; but Jehovah did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
7 Eka Saulo nowachone joma tiyone niya, “Dwarnauru dhako ma ja-nyakalondo, mondo adhi apenje wach.” Negidwoke niya, “Nitie moro Endor.”
Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a spirit of Python, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a spirit of Python at En-dor.
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 garments, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine to me by the spirit of Python, and bring me [him] up 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, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land; and why layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 Saulo nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni ok nokumi kuom timo ma.”
And Saul swore unto her by Jehovah, saying, [As] Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Eka dhakoni nopenje niya, “En ngʼa ma idwaro mondo agolni?” Nowachne niya, “Golna Samuel.”
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 Kane dhakono oneno Samuel noywak gi dwol maduongʼ mowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo isewuonda? In Saulo!”
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? Even 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, Be not afraid; but what didst thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I saw a god 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 is his form? And she said, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
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 to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul said, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do.
16 Samuel nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenja wach ka Jehova Nyasaye oseweyi mobedo jasiki?
And Samuel said, Why then dost thou inquire of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 Jehova Nyasaye osetimo mana gima nakoroni. Jehova Nyasaye osegolo loch e lweti mi omiye achiel kuom jobathi ma en Daudi.
And Jehovah has done for himself as he spoke by me; and Jehovah has rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, to 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 Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalek, therefore has Jehovah 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 Jehovah will also give Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the army of Israel also will Jehovah give into the hand 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 fell straightway his full length on the earth, and was sore afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the 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 came to Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy bondmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spokest to me.
22 Koro yie iwinj jatichni mondo iyiena amiyi chiemo moro minyalo chamo mondo iyud teko mar dok.”
And now, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy bondmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength when thou goest 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 refused and said, I will not eat. Then his servants, and the woman also, compelled him, and he hearkened to their voice; and he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
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 calf in the house; and she hasted and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof;
25 Eka noketo chiemo e nyim Saulo gi joge mine gichiemo. Bangʼe ne giwuok gotienono mi gidhi.
and she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants, and they ate. And they rose up and went away that night.
