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.”
In kutu pacl tok, mwet Philistia elos toeni in mweun lain mwet Israel, ac Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sel David, “Kom kalem kac lah kom ac mwet lom ingan ac fah wiyu lac ke mweun luk?”
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 el topuk, “Aok, nga kalem kac. Nga mwet kulansap lom, ac kom ac fah sifacna liye ma nga ku in oru.” Na Achish el fahk, “Wona! Nga ac fah oru tuh kom in mwet se ma tu siskuk in pacl e nukewa nwe tok.”
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.
In pacl se inge Samuel el misa tari, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos arulana asor kacl, ac elos piknilya in acn sel in Ramah. Saul el lusak mwet inutnut ac mwet susfa nukewa liki acn Israel.
4 The Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp at Gilboa.
Mwet mweun Philistia elos toeni ac tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos apkuran nu siti se pangpang Shunem. Ac Saul el eisani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos Fineol Gilboa.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified, shaking with fear.
Ke Saul el liye un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia, el arulana sangeng,
6 He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.
ac el siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea el ac oru. Tuh LEUM GOD El tiana topkol, finne ke mweme, ku ke eot Urim ac Thummim, ku ke pusren mwet palu.
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.
Na Saul el sapkin nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Sokak sie mutan inutnut, ac nga fah som nu yorol ac siyuk kasreyuk sel.” Na elos topuk ac fahk, “Oasr sie mwet inutnut in acn Endor.”
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.”
Na Saul el sifacna ekulla lumahl. El nokomang siena kain nuknuk, ac ke lohsrani tari, el us luo pac mukul in welul som nu yurin mutan inutnut sac. El fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Sramsram nu sin ngunin mwet misa keik, ac fahk nu sik lah mea ac sikyak. Pangonma ngunin mwet se su nga ac fahk inel nu sum.”
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?”
Ac mutan sac topuk, “Nga mu kom arulana etu ma Tokosra Saul el oru ke el lusak mwet inutnut ac mwet susfa liki Israel. Na efu kom ku srifeyu, pwanang ac ku in anwuki nga?”
10 Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
Na Saul el orala sie wulela na ku ac fahk, “Inen LEUM GOD moul, nga wulela nu sum lah kom ac fah tia kaiyuk ke kom ac oru ma se inge.”
11 “Who do you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
Na mutan sac siyuk sel Saul, “Su kom lungse ngan pangonak nguna uh?” Ac Saul el fahk, “Samuel.”
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're Saul!”
Ke mutan sac liyalak Samuel, el wowoyak ke pusra lulap ac fahk nu sel Saul, “Efu ku kom kiapweyula? Kom pa Tokosra Saul!”
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.
Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nikmet sangeng! Mea kom liye?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Nga liye sie ngun utyak liki infohk uh.”
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.
Ac Saul el siyuk, “Fuka luman ngun sacn?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Mukul matu se pa utyak, ac el nukum sie nuknuk loeloes.” Na Saul el etu lah Samuel pa mwet sac, ac Saul el faksufi in akfulatyal.
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.”
Na Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Efu kom tukasru nu sik ac oru nga foloko?” Na Saul el topuk ac fahk, “Nga arulana fosrnga! Mwet Philistia elos mweuniyu, ac God El ngetla likiyu. El tia sifil topukyu, finne ke pusren mwet palu ku ke mweme. Na pa nga pangon kom tuh kom in fahk nu sik lah mea nga enenu in oru.”
16 “Why come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Efu ku kom pangonyu, ke LEUM GOD El ngetla liki kom ac ekla mwet lokoalok lom?
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.
LEUM GOD El oru nu sum oana ma El tuh sap ngan fahk nu sum ah. El eisla tokosrai uh liki kom, ac sang nu sel David.
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.
Kom tuh seakos ma God El sapkin nu sum ke El mu kom in kunausla mwet Amalek nukewa ac ma lalos nukewa. Pa inge sripa se sis LEUM GOD El oru ouinge nu sum.
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.”
El ac fah eiskomyang ac mwet Israel nu inpoun mwet Philistia. Lutu, kom ac wen nutum ac fah wiyuyang, ac LEUM GOD El ac fah asang mwet mweun lun Israel nu inpoun mwet Philistia.”
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.
In kitin pacl ah na, Saul el putati asrosrelik fin fohk uh, ke sripen el arulana sangeng ke ma Samuel el fahk ah. El munasla ke sripen el tiana mongo ke len fon sac ac fong fon sac.
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.
Na mutan sac kalukyang nu yorol ac liye lah el arulana sangeng, ac el fahk nu sel Saul, “Leum luk, nga pilesrala moul luk ke nga oru ma kom siyuk ah.
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.”
Inge, nga siyuk kom in porongeyu. Lela nga in orala kutu mwe mongo nom. Kom enenu in mongo tuh in kui monum, na kom fah ku in som inkanek lom.”
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.
Saul el tia lungse. El fahk mu el ac tiana mongo. Mwet pwapa lal elos kwafel tuh elan eis kutu mwe mongo. Tok kutu, na el tari wi na ma elos fahk. El tukakek liki infohk uh ac muta fin bed se.
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.
Ac mutan sac sulaklak na uniya cow fusr soko ma el muta kite in fatelik, ac el use flao ac manman bread wangin mwe pulol kac.
25 She served the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
Mutan sac takunla mwe mongo inge ye mutal Saul ac mwet pwapa lal, ac elos mongoi. Na elos som liki acn sac in fong sacna.
