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.”
It happened in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you are to go out with me to battle, you and your 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.”
David said to Achish, "Therefore you shall know what your servant will do." Achish said to David, "therefore I will make you my bodyguard 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 buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had removed the mediums, and spiritists, from the land.
4 Jo-Filistia nochokore mobiro mojot e Shunem, ka Saulo bende nochoko jo-Israel duto modhi ojot Gilboa.
The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and camped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped in Gilboa.
5 Ka Saulo noneno jolwenj jo-Filistia luoro gi kihondko nomake.
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach, to Jehova Nyasaye ne ok odwoke e yor lek kata gi Urim kata gi dho jonabi.
When Saul inquired of the LORD, The LORD did not answer him, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, 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, "Find for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." His servants said to him, "Look, there is a woman who is a medium at Endor."
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.”
Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine a spirit for me, please, and bring up for me the one whom I name to you."
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?”
The woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists out of the land. Why then do you lay 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.”
But Saul swore to her, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment will come upon you for this thing."
11 Eka dhakoni nopenje niya, “En ngʼa ma idwaro mondo agolni?” Nowachne niya, “Golna Samuel.”
Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up to you?" He said, "Bring Samuel up for me."
12 Kane dhakono oneno Samuel noywak gi dwol maduongʼ mowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo isewuonda? In Saulo!”
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul."
13 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Kik ibed maluor. Angʼo ma ineno?” To dhakono nowachone niya, “Aneno chuny ngʼama nosetho kawuok e lowo.”
The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. For what do you see?" The woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up 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.
He said to her, "What does he look like?" She said, "An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe." Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
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 have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am very distressed, for the Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me and no longer answers me, either by prophets, or by dreams. So therefore I have called on you, that you may make known to me what I should do."
16 Samuel nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenja wach ka Jehova Nyasaye oseweyi mobedo jasiki?
Samuel said, "Why then do you ask of me, since the LORD has departed from you and is with your neighbor?
17 Jehova Nyasaye osetimo mana gima nakoroni. Jehova Nyasaye osegolo loch e lweti mi omiye achiel kuom jobathi ma en Daudi.
The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even 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 you did not obey the voice of the LORD, and did not execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you 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.”
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons with you will fall. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also 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.
Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of the words of Samuel. 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 terrified, and said to him, "Look, your servant has obeyed you, and I have put my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
22 Koro yie iwinj jatichni mondo iyiena amiyi chiemo moro minyalo chamo mondo iyud teko mar dok.”
Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your 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." But his servants, together with the woman, pressed him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the ground, 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.
The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
25 Eka noketo chiemo e nyim Saulo gi joge mine gichiemo. Bangʼe ne giwuok gotienono mi gidhi.
She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
