1 Samuel 28
1 Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
Bara sana keessa Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota loluuf humna isaanii walitti qabatan. Aakiishis Daawitiin, “Akka atii fi namoonni kee na wajjin duuluu qabdan beeki” jedhe.
2 David replied, “Then you will come to know what your servant can do.” “Very well,” said Achish. “I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
Daawitis, “Waan garbichi kee hojjechuu dandaʼu ati iyyuu yeroo sana ni argita” jedhe. Aakiish deebisee, “Baayʼee gaarii dha; ani bara jireenya koo guutuu waardiyyaa koo sin godhadha” jedhe.
3 Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
Bara sana Saamuʼeel duʼee Israaʼeloonni hundi booʼaniifii magaalaa isaa Raamaatti isa awwaalan. Saaʼolis ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota biyyaa baasee ture.
4 The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
Filisxeemonni wal gaʼanii Suunamin qubatan; Saaʼol immoo Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabee Gilboʼaa keessa qubate.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
Saaʼol yeroo qubata Filisxeemotaa argetti ni naʼe; garaan isaas sodaan raafame.
6 He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
Innis Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyo garuu abjuudhaan yookaan Uriimiidhaan yookaan raajotaan deebii hin kennineef.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” “There is a medium at Endor,” his servants replied.
Kana irratti Saaʼol tajaajiltoota isaatiin, “Akka ani dhaqee ishee gaafadhuuf dubartii eker dubbiftuu naaf barbaadaa” jedhe. Isaanis, “Kunoo dubartiin ekeraa dubbiftu tokko Eendoor jirti” jedhan.
8 So Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and he set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I name.”
Kanaafuu Saaʼol wayyaa biraa uffatee bifa geeddarachuudhaan tajaajiltoota isaa lama wajjin halkaniin gara dubartii ekeraa dubbiftuu sanaa dhaqe. Innis, “Ekeraa naaf dubbisiitii nama ani maqaa isaa sitti himu ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
9 But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a trap to get me killed?”
Dubartiin sun garuu, “Ati waan Saaʼol hojjete dhugumaan beekta. Inni ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota lafa irraa fixeera. Egaa maaliif lubbuu koo kiyyoo duʼaa keessa galchita ree?” jetteen.
10 Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
Saaʼolis maqaa Waaqayyootiin isheef kakatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati waan kanaaf hin adabamtu” jedhe.
11 “Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
Dubartittiin sunis, “Ani eenyun ol siif baasu ree?” jettee gaafatte. Innis, “Saamuʼeelin ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”
Dubartiin sunis yommuu Saamuʼeelin argitetti guddiftee iyyite. Saaʼoliin, “Maaliif na gowwoomsite? Ati Saaʼolii dha!” jette.
13 “Do not be afraid,” the king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered.
Mootichis, “Hin sodaatin. Ati maal argaa jirta?” isheen jedhe. Dubartiin sunis, “Ani hafuura lafa keessaa ol baʼaa jiru tokko nan arga” jette.
14 “What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “And he is wearing a robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
Saaʼolis, “Inni maal fakkaata?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Jaarsi wayyaa dheeraa uffate tokko ol baʼaa jira” jette. Saaʼolis akka namni sun Saamuʼeel taʼe beeke; gad jedhees addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
Saamuʼeelis Saaʼoliin, “Ati maaliif ol na baasuudhaan na jeeqxa?” jedhe. Saaʼolis akkana jedheen, “Ani baayʼee dhiphadheera; Filisxeemonni na lolaa jiru; Waaqnis narraa garagaleera. Inni raajotaan yookaan abjuudhaan deebii naa hin kennu. Kanaafuu akka ati waan ani gochuu qabu natti himtuufan si waammadhe.”
16 “Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
Saamuʼeelis akkana jedhe; “Ati erga Waaqayyo sirraa garagalee diina sitti taʼee maaliif na waamta?
17 He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
Waaqayyo waanuma duraan dursee karaa kootiin dubbate sana fiixaan baase. Waaqayyo mootummaa harka kee keessaa butee ollaa kee keessaa nama tokkoof jechuunis Daawitiif kenneera.
18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
Sababii ati Waaqayyoof hin ajajaminiif yookaan dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana Amaaleqoota irratti hin raawwatiniif Waaqayyo harʼa waan kana sitti fideera.
19 Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
Israaʼelii fi siʼi illee Waaqayyo dabarsee harka Filisxeemotaatti ni kenna; atii fi ilmaan kee bori gara koo dhuftu. Waaqayyos loltoota Israaʼel dabarsee Filisxeemotatti ni kenna.”
20 Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
Saaʼol waan dubbii Saamuʼeeliin akka malee sodaateef yeruma sana hojjaa isaa guutuudhaan kufe. Inni waan halkanii fi guyyaa sana guutuu homaa hin nyaatiniif humna dhabee ture.
21 When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
Dubartittiinis yommuu gara Saaʼol dhuftee akka inni akka malee sodaate argitetti akkana jette; “Kunoo tajaajiltuun kee siif ajajamteerti. Ani lubbuu kootti murteessee waan ati jette godheera.
22 Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
Ammas maaloo tajaajiltuu kee dhagaʼi; ani nyaata xinnoo siifan kenna; atis nyaattee jabaattee karaa kee qajeelta.”
23 Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
Inni immoo, “Hin nyaadhu” jedhee dide. Taʼus namoonni isaa dubartittii wajjin isa jajjabeessinaan inni isaan dhagaʼe. Lafaa kaʼees siree irra taaʼe.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
Dubartiin sunis dibicha gabbifame tokko manaa qabdi turte; isheenis yeroodhuma sana qalte. Daakuu xinnoo fuutee sukkuumtee buddeena raacitii hin qabne tolchite.
25 She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
Isheenis Saaʼolii fi namoota isaatiif dhiʼeessite; isaanis ni nyaatan. Halkanuma sanas achii kaʼanii deeman.
