1 Samuel 28
1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
Na i aua ra kua huihuia e nga Pirihitini a ratou taua mo te pakanga, hei whawhai ki a Iharaira. Na ka mea a Akihi ki a Rawiri, Kia tino mohio koe me haere tahi taua ki te whawhai, koutou ko au tangata.
2 And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Akihi, Ma reira koe ka mohio ai ki nga mahi a tau pononga. A ka mea a Akihi ki a Rawiri, Koia ahau ka mea nei i a koe hei tiaki mo toku upoko i nga ra katoa.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
Na, kua mate a Hamuera, kua uhungatia hoki e Iharaira katoa, kua tanumia ki Rama, ki tona pa ake. Kua whakakorea atu hoki e Haora i te whenua te hunga i nga waka atua, i nga rapa maori hoki.
4 And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
Na ka huihui nga Pirihitini, a haere mai ana, puni ana ki Huneme; i huihuia ano e Haora a Iharaira katoa, a puni ana ki Kiripoa.
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
A, no te kitenga o Haora i te taua a nga Pirihitini, ka wehi, tuiri rawa tona ngakau.
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
Na, i te uinga a Haora ki a Ihowa, hore rawa he kupu a Ihowa i whakahokia mai ki a ia, e nga moe, e nga Urimi, e nga poropiti ranei.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
Katahi a Haora ka mea ki ana tangata, Rapua maku tetahi wahine he atua maori tona kia haere ahau ki a ia ki te rapu tikanga i a ia. Ano ra ko ana tangata ki a ia, Tera tetahi wahine he atua maori tona, kei Eneroro.
8 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
Na ka whakaahua ke a Haora i a ia, a kakahu ana i etahi kakahu ke, haere ana ia me ana tangata tokorua; ka tae ki taua wahine i te po, ka mea atu ia, Tena koa, hirihiria te atua maori, a whakaputaina ake ki ahau taku e ki atu ai.
9 And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
Na ka mea taua wahine ki a ia, Ha, kua mohio ano koe ki ta Haora i mea ai, ki tana hautopenga atu i te hunga atua maori, i nga rapa maori, o te whenua nei; he aha ra koe i mea mahanga mai ai mo toku wairua, kia mate ai ahau?
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
Na ka oatitia a Ihowa e Haora ki a ia, i mea ia, E ora ana a Ihowa, e kore tetahi he e pa ki a koe mo tenei mea.
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
Katahi te wahine ka mea, Ko wai kia whakaputaina ake e ahau ki a koe? Ano ra ko ia, Ko Hamuera tau e whakaputa ake ai ki ahau.
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
A, no te kitenga o te wahine i a Hamuera, nui atu tona reo ki te hamama; a ka korero te wahine ki a Haora, ka mea, He aha koe i tinihanga ai ki ahau? ko Haora hoki koe.
13 And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kaua e wehi: i kite hoki koe i te aha? Na ka mea te wahine ki a Haora, Kei te kite ahau i tetahi atua e haere ake ana i te whenua.
14 And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, He ahua aha tona? Ka mea ia, He koroheke te haere ake nei; he koroka hoki te kakahu. Na ka mohio a Haora ko Hamuera. Tuohu ana tona mata ki te whenua, piko ana ia.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
Na ka mea a Hamuera ki a Haora, He aha koe i whakaohooho ai i ahau, i mea ai kia haere ake ahau? Ano ra ko Haora, Nui atu toku mate; e whawhai ana hoki nga Pirihitini ki ahau, a kua mahue ahau i te Atua, kahore ake hoki he kupu ana e whakahokia mai ki ahau e nga poropiti, e nga moe ranei; koia ahau i karanga ai ki a koe, hei ako i ahau ki taku e mea ai.
16 And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
Katahi a Hamuera ka mea, He aha ra koe i u ai ki ahau, kua mahue nei hoki koe i a Ihowa, hei hoariri ano ia ki a koe?
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
Na kua meatia e Ihowa mona ake tana i whakapuakina e ahau: kua haea atu hoki te kingitanga i tou ringa, kua hoatu ki tou hoa, ara ki a Rawiri.
18 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
Mou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, kihai i whakaputa i tona riri aritarita ki a Amareke; na reira a Ihowa i mea ai i tenei mea ki a koe i tenei ra.
19 And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
Ko tenei, ka hoatu ano a Iharaira e Ihowa me koe hoki ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, a apopo koutou ko au tama tae ake ai ki ahau: a ka hoatu e Ihowa te taua a Iharaira ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
20 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
Katahi ka hinga tonu iho a Haora, tona roa katoa ki te whenua, nui rawa hoki tona wehi mo nga kupu a Hamuera: kahore ano he kaha i roto i a ia; kihai hoki ia i kai taro noa pau noa taua ra, pau noa taua po.
21 And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
Na ka haere taua wahine ki a Haora; a ka kite e pororaru rawa ana ona whakaaro, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua whakarongo nei tau pononga ki tou reo, a whakamomori ana ahau ki te mate, whakarongo ana ahau ki au kupu i korerotia e koe ki ahau.
22 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
Na, tena, whakarongo mai hoki aianei ki te reo o tau pononga, Kia whakatakotoria e ahau tetahi wahi taro ki tou aroaro; me kai ano koe, kia whai kaha ai koe ina haere i tou huarahi.
23 But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
Otiia i whakakahore ia, i mea, E kore ahau e kai. Heoi tohea ana ia e ana tangata ratou ko te wahine; na ka rongo ia ki to ratou reo, a whakatika ake ana i te whenua, noho ana ki runga ki te moenga.
24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
Na he kuao kau ta taua wahine i te whare, he mea whangai; na hohoro tonu tana patu, tikina ana e ia he paraoa, pokepokea ana, tunua iho e ia etahi keke rewenakore;
25 And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
Kawea mai ana e ia ki te aroaro o Haora, ki te aroaro ano o ana tangata. Na kai ana ratou, a whakatika ana, haere atu ana i taua po.
