1 Samuel 28
1 Nowe at that time the Philistims assembled their bandes and armie to fight with Israel: therfore Achish said to Dauid, Be sure, thou shalt go out with me to the battel, thou, and thy men.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị Filistia chịkọtara ndị agha ha jikere ịlụso ndị Izrel agha. Akish eze Gat gwara Devid okwu, “Ghọtakwa na gị na ndị agha gị ga-eso mụ na ndị agha m gaa ibu agha.”
2 And Dauid said to Achish, Surely thou shalt knowe, what thy seruant can doe. And Achish sayde to Dauid, Surely I will make thee keeper of mine head for euer.
Devid zara ya sị, “Ị ga-eji anya gị hụrụ ihe ohu gị ga-eme.” Akish zara sị, “Ọ dị mma aga m eme gị onye nche m ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.”
3 (Samuel was then dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah his owne citie: and Saul had put away the sorcerers, and the soothsayers out of the land)
Nʼoge a Samuel anwụọla, ndị Izrel niile rukwara ụjụ nʼihi ya, lie ya nʼobodo ya bụ Rema. Sọl achụpụsịakwala ndị niile na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase na ndị dibịa afa site nʼala ahụ.
4 Then the Philistims assembled themselues, and came, and pitched in Shunem: and Saul assembled all Israel, and they pitched in Gilboa.
Ndị Filistia zukọtara, bịa maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Shunem, ebe Sọl na ndị Izrel niile zukọtakwara maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the hoste of the Philistims, he was afraid, and his heart was sore astonied.
Mgbe Sọl hụrụ igwe ndị agha ndị Filistia, oke ụjọ jidere ya.
6 Therefore Saul asked counsel of the Lord, and the Lord answered him not, neither by dreames, nor by Vrim, nor yet by Prophets.
Ọ jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase, ma Onyenwe anyị azaghị ya. Ọ zaghị na nrọ, maọbụ site nʼUrim, maọbụ site nʼọnụ ndị amụma.
7 Then saide Saul vnto his seruants, Seeke me a woman that hath a familiar spirite, that I may goe to her, and aske of her. And his seruants said to him, Beholde, there is a woman at En-dor that hath a familiar spirit.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl sịrị ndị na-ejere ya ozi, “Chọtara m nwanyị onye na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase, ka m gakwuru ya jụta ya ase.” Ha sịrị, “E nwere otu nwanyị dị otu a nʼEndoa.”
8 Then Saul changed him selfe, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he saide, I pray thee, coniecture vnto me by the familiar spirite, and bring me him vp whome I shall name vnto thee.
Ya mere, Sọl nwogharịrị onwe ya, yiri uwe ọzọ, o ruo nʼabalị, ya na ndị ikom abụọ gakwuru nwanyị ahụ. Ọ sịrị, “Jụtara m mmụọ ase, kpọlitekwara m onye m ga-akpọ aha ya.”
9 And the woman saide vnto him, Beholde, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the sorcerers, and the southsayers out of the land: wherefore then seekest thou to take me in a snare to cause me to die?
Ma nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie gị onwe gị maara ihe Sọl mere. Ọ kwụsịla ndị niile na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase, na ndị dibịa afa site nʼala a. Nʼihi gịnị ka iji a gbara ndụ m ọnya, ime ka m nwụọ?”
10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liueth, no harme shall come to thee for this thing.
Ma Sọl jiri Onyenwe anyị ṅụọra ya iyi, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, agaghị ata gị ahụhụ nʼihi ihe a.”
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring vp vnto thee? And he answered, Bring me vp Samuel.
Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị ahụ jụrụ, “Onye ka ị chọrọ ka m mee ka ọ rịgokwute gị?” Sọl sịrị, “Mee ka Samuel rịgokwute m.”
12 And when the woman sawe Samuel, she cryed with a loude voyce, and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceiued me? for thou art Saul.
Mgbe nwanyị ahụ hụrụ Samuel, o tiri mkpu sị, “Gịnị mere iji ghọgbuo m? Gị onwe gị bụ Sọl!”
13 And the King said vnto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said vnto Saul, I saw gods ascending vp out of the earth.
Eze sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu! Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Nwanyị ahụ sịrị, “A hụrụ m chi ka o si nʼala na-arịgopụta.”
14 Then he said vnto her, What facion is hee of? And she answered, An olde man commeth vp lapped in a mantel: and Saul knewe that it was Samuel, and he enclined his face to the grounde, and bowed him selfe.
Sọl jụrụ, “Gịnị ka onye ahụ yiri nʼọdịdị?” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ agadi nwoke na-arịgota, e ji uwe mwụda kpuchie ahụ ya.” Mgbe ahụ, Sọl matara na ọ bụ Samuel. O kpuru ihu nʼala, kpọọkwa isiala.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me vp? Then Saul answered, I am in great distresse: for the Philistims make warre against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by Prophetes, neither by dreames: therefore I haue called thee, that thou mayest tell me, what I shall doe.
Samuel sịrị Sọl, “Gịnị mere i ji esogbu m, site na ịkpọlite m?” Sọl zara, “Anọ m nʼoke nsogbu. Ndị Filistia na-ebuso m agha, ma Chineke esitekwala nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya. Ọ naghị azakwa m ọzọ, maọbụ site na ndị amụma, maọbụ site na nrọ. Nʼihi ya ka m ji kpọọ gị, ịjụ gị ihe m ga-eme.”
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then doest thou aske of me, seeing the Lord is gone from thee, and is thine enemie?
Samuel sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka i ji na-ajụ m, ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị ewezugala onwe ya site nʼebe ị nọ, ghọọkwara gị onye iro?
17 Euen the Lord hath done to him, as hee spake by mine hande: for the Lord will rent the kingdome out of thine hande, and giue it thy neighbour Dauid.
Onyenwe anyị emeela ihe ọ sị na ọ ga-eme. Ọ napụla gị alaeze gị were ya nye Devid.
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voyce of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath vpon the Amalekites, therefore hath the Lord done this vnto thee this day.
Ihe ndị a niile na-aga ịdakwasị gị nʼihi na i geghị ntị na ndụmọdụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe o were iwe dị ọkụ megide ndị Amalek.
19 Moreouer the Lord wil deliuer Israel with thee into the handes of the Philistims: and to morowe shalt thou and thy sonnes be with me, and the Lord shall giue the hoste of Israel into the handes of the Philistims.
Onyenwe anyị ga-arara gị na ndị Izrel nyefee nʼaka ndị Filistia, echi gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom ga-abịa nọnyeere m nʼebe a. Onyenwe anyị ga-ararakwa ndị agha Izrel nye nʼaka ndị Filistia.”
20 Then Saul fell streight way all along on the earth, and was sore afraide because of the wordes of Samuel, so that there was no strength in him: for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the night.
Ngwangwa, Sọl dara nʼala, gbatịa onwe ya nʼoke egwu, nʼihi okwu ndị a niile Samuel kwuru. Ike adịghịkwa nʼime ya nʼihi agụụ, ebe ọ bụ na o ribeghị nri ọbụla ụbọchị ahụ niile.
21 Then the woman came vnto Saul, and sawe that he was sore troubled, and said vnto him, See, thine handmaide hath obeyed thy voyce, and I haue put my soule in mine hande, and haue obeyed thy wordes which thou saydest vnto me.
Mgbe nwanyị a hụrụ ọnọdụ Sọl, ọ gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Onyenwe m, lee, ohu gị rubere isi mee ihe ị sị m mee. Ọ bụkwa ndụ m ka m ji chụọ aja imezu ihe ị rịọrọ m.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearke thou also vnto ye voyce of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsell of bread before thee, that thou mayest eat and get thee strength, and go on thy iourney.
Ugbu a, biko, gee ntị nʼihe ohu gị na-aga ịgwa gị. Kwere ka m nye gị nri ka i rie, ka i nweta ike ị ga-eji laghachi.”
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eate: but his seruants and the woman together compelled him, and he obeyed their voyce: so he arose from the earth, and sate on the bed.
Ma Sọl jụrụ iri nri ọbụla. Ma ndị ikom ya na ha so malitere ịrịọ ya tutu ruo mgbe o kwenyere bilie, nọdụ ala nʼelu ihe ndina.
24 Nowe the woman had a fat calfe in the house, and she hasted, and killed it, and tooke floure and kneaded it, and baked of it vnleauened bread.
Nwanyị ahụ mere ngwangwa gbuo nwa ehi gbara abụba o nwere nʼụlọ ya. O jikwa ụtụ ọka mee achịcha nke etinyeghị ihe na-eko achịcha nʼime ya,
25 Then she brought them before Saul, and before his seruants: and when they had eaten, they stoode, and went away the same night.
O doziri nri nʼihu Sọl na ndị ikom ya. Ha rikwara ya. Ha biliri laa nʼabalị ahụ.
