1 Samuel 28
1 Around that time the Philistines called up their armies to go to war against Israel. So Achish told David, “You do realize that you and your men must accompany me as part of the army.”
Kèk tan apre sa, moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo pou y' al goumen ak pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, Akich di David: -Ou tou konnen se pou ou pati ansanm avè m' ak mesye ou yo pou n' al goumen.
2 “That's fine!” David replied. “Then you yourself will discover what I, your servant, can do.” “That's fine too,” Achish responded. “I'll make you my bodyguard for life.”
David reponn li: -Se moun ou mwen ye. Ou pral wè sa m' ka fè. Akich di li: -Bon! Apre sa, m'ap fè ou gad kò mwen pou tout tan.
3 By now Samuel had died, and all of Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his home town. Saul had got rid of mediums and spiritists from the country.
Samyèl te deja mouri lè sa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la te kriye kont kriye yo pou li. Apre sa, yo antere l' lavil Rama kote li te moun. Sayil te mete tout divinò deyò nan peyi a ansanm ak tout moun ki konn rele mò pou pale ak yo.
4 The Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp at Gilboa.
Sòlda moun Filisti yo te sanble, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Chounèm. Sayil menm sanble tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, epi li moute kan l' sou mòn Gilboa.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified, shaking with fear.
Lè Sayil wè lame moun Filisti yo, li soti pè, kè l' pran bat byen fò.
6 He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.
Se konsa, li mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Men, Seyè a pa ba li ankenn repons, ni nan rèv, ni avèk ourim yo, ni nan mesaj pwofèt yo.
7 So Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who is a medium so I can go and ask her advice.” “There's a woman who is a medium at Endor,” his officers replied.
Lè sa a, Sayil rele moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo, li ba yo lòd sa a: -Al chache kote nou ka jwenn yon fanm ki konn rele mò pou l' travay pou mwen. Yo reponn li: -Gen yonn lavil Andò.
8 Saul disguised himself by wearing different clothes. He went with two of his men to the woman at night. Saul told her, “Bring up a spirit for me so I can ask some questions. I'll give you the name.”
Sayil mete lòt kalite rad sou li, li maske. Li leve, li pati ak de moun pa l'. Yo rive kay fanm lan nan mitan lannwit. Sayil di fanm lan: -M' pral ba ou non yon mò pou ou rele pou mwen. Rele li pou mwen tanpri, pou m' konnen sa ki pral rive m'.
9 “Don't you know what Saul has done,” she replied. “He's got rid of the mediums and spiritists from the country. Are you trying to set a trap for me and get me killed?”
Men, fanm lan di l': -Ou konnen sa wa Sayil te fè a pa vre? Li te mete tout divinò ak tout moun k'ap pale ak mò deyò nan peyi a wi. Poukisa atò w'ap seye pran m' nan plan pou fè yo touye m'?
10 Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
Sayil pran non Bondye fè sèman, li di: -Devan Seyè ki vivan an, mwen fè sèman yo p'ap fè ou anyen pou zafè sa a.
11 “Who do you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
Fanm lan di l': -Ki moun pou m' rele pou ou? Li reponn: -Rele Samyèl pou mwen.
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're Saul!”
Lè madanm lan wè Samyèl, li pete rele, li di Sayil: -Poukisa ou twonpe m' konsa? Ou se wa Sayil!
13 “Don't be scared,” The king told her. “What can you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the ground,” the woman replied.
Wa a di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Kisa ou wè? Fanm lan di Sayil: -Mwen wè yon lespri k'ap moute soti anba tè a.
14 “What does he look like?” Saul asked. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He has a robe wrapped around him” Saul thought it must be Samuel, and he bowed facedown in respect.
Wa a di l': -Kisa ou wè li sanble? Fanm lan reponn: -Se yon vye granmoun gason k'ap moute la a. Li vlope nan yon gwo dra. Lè sa a, Sayil vin konnen se te Samyèl. Li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up?” “I'm in terrible trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are attacking me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me anymore, either by prophets or by dreams. That's why I have called you up so you tell me what to do.”
Samyèl di Sayil: -Poukisa ou detounen m' konsa? Poukisa ou fè m' remoute la a en? Sayil di li: -Mwen nan gwo tèt chaje: Moun Filisti yo ap fè m' lagè. Epi Bondye vire do ban mwen. Li pa pale avè m' ankò, ni nan rèv, ni nan mesaj pwofèt yo. Se poutèt sa, mwen fè rele ou pou ou ka fè m' konnen sa pou m' fè.
16 “Why come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
Samyèl di l': -Koulye a Seyè a vire do ba ou, li tounen lènmi ou, poukisa se mwen menm w'ap mande bagay konsa?
17 “The Lord has done to you exactly what he said through me, for Lord has ripped the kingdom from you and has given it to your neighbor, David.
Seyè a annik fè sa li te di m' di ou la: li wete gouvènman an nan men ou, li bay David li pito.
18 The Lord has done this to you today because you did not do what the Lord commanded and you did not execute his furious anger on the Amalekites.
Ou pa t' koute sa Seyè a te di ou, ou pa t' detwi moun Amalèk yo nèt ansanm ak tou sa yo te genyen. Se poutèt sa Seyè a fè ou sa li fè ou jòdi a.
19 The Lord will hand over Israel and you yourself to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will die and be with me. The Lord will also hand over the Israelite army of Israel to the Philistines.”
Li pral lage ou ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la nan men moun Filisti yo. Denmen lè konsa, ni ou menm ni pitit gason ou yo ap menm kote avè m'. Seyè a pral lage lame pèp Izrayèl la nan men moun Filisti yo.
20 Saul collapsed face down on the ground, terrified at what Samuel had said. He had no strength, because he hadn't eaten anything all that day and night.
Tande Sayil tande sa, li tonbe tou long atè, li te pè akòz pawòl Samyèl te di l' la a. Li te fèb anpil tou, paske li pa t' manje anyen depi maten.
21 The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was absolutely terrified. She told him, “Look, sir, I did what you asked. I risked my life and did what you told me.
Fanm lan al jwenn Sayil atè a, li wè jan Sayil t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt, tande sa m'ap di ou: Mwen te mete lavi m' an danje pou m' te fè sa ou te mande m' fè a.
22 Now please do what I tell you. Let me bring you a little bit of food. Eat it, and you'll have the strength to go on your way.”
Koulye a, tanpri, tande sa m'ap di ou. Ou pral fè sa m'a pral di ou la a: Kite m' al pare yon ti manje pou ou. W'a manje, w'a pran fòs ankò pou ou ka al fè wout ou.
23 But he refused, saying, “I can't eat anything.” But his men and the woman encouraged him to eat, and he did what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
Sayil refize, li di li p'ap manje anyen. Men mesye ki te avè l' yo ansanm ak fanm lan pale avè l', yo fè l' tande rezon. Bout pou bout, li dakò, li leve sot atè a, li chita sou kabann lan.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at the house, and she quickly went and slaughtered it. She also got some flour, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread.
Fanm lan te gen yon ti bèf li t'ap angrese lakay li. Li prese touye l'. Apre sa, li pran farin, li fè pat avè l', li kwit kèk ti pen san ledven.
25 She served the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
Li pote tout bagay sa yo devan Sayil ak mesye l' yo. Yo manje. Lèfini, lannwit lan menm yo leve, yo pati.
