< 1 Samuel 28 >

1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David: 'Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.'
E ndalogo jo-Filistia nochoko jolwenjgi mondo oked gi Israel. Akish nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Nyaka ingʼe ni in gi jogi udhi koda e lweny.”
2 And David said to Achish: 'Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do.' And Achish said to David: 'Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.'
Daudi nowachone niya, “To koro inine gi wangʼi gima jatiji nyalo timo.” Akish nodwoke niya, “Mano ber, abiro keti jaritna e ndalo duto mar ngimana.”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land.
Samuel nosetho kendo Israel duto noywage mine giike e dalane man Rama. Saulo noseriembo ajuoke, gi jo-nyakalondo oa e piny.
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
Jo-Filistia nochokore mobiro mojot e Shunem, ka Saulo bende nochoko jo-Israel duto modhi ojot Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
Ka Saulo noneno jolwenj jo-Filistia luoro gi kihondko nomake.
6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
Nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach, to Jehova Nyasaye ne ok odwoke e yor lek kata gi Urim kata gi dho jonabi.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants: 'Seek me a woman that divineth by a ghost, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.' And his servants said to him: 'Behold, there is a woman that divineth by a ghost at En-dor.'
Eka Saulo nowachone joma tiyone niya, “Dwarnauru dhako ma ja-nyakalondo, mondo adhi apenje wach.” Negidwoke niya, “Nitie moro Endor.”
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said: 'Divine unto me, I pray thee, by a ghost, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee.'
Mi Saulo notemo loko nenruokne korwako lewni mopogore opogore, eka en gi ji ariyo moko negidhi ir dhako ma ja-nyakalondo gotieno. Nowacho niya, “Penjna wach kuom chuny ngʼat motho kendo ikelna ngʼatno mabiro nyisi nyinge.”
9 And the woman said unto him: 'Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that divine by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?'
Eka dhakono nowachone niya, “Chutho ingʼeyo gima Saulo nosetimo. Osetieko jo-nyakalondo gi ajuoke e piny. Angʼo momiyo ichiko obadho ne ngimana, mondo okelna tho?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.'
Saulo nokwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni ok nokumi kuom timo ma.”
11 Then said the woman: 'Whom shall I bring up unto thee?' And he said: 'Bring me up Samuel.'
Eka dhakoni nopenje niya, “En ngʼa ma idwaro mondo agolni?” Nowachne niya, “Golna Samuel.”
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying: 'Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.'
Kane dhakono oneno Samuel noywak gi dwol maduongʼ mowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo isewuonda? In Saulo!”
13 And the king said unto her: 'Be not afraid; for what seest thou?' And the woman said unto Saul: 'I see a godlike being coming up out of the earth.'
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Kik ibed maluor. Angʼo ma ineno?” To dhakono nowachone niya, “Aneno chuny ngʼama nosetho kawuok e lowo.”
14 And he said unto her: 'What form is he of?' And she said: 'An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe.' And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
To nopenje niya, “Ochalo nadi?” Nowachone niya, “Jaduongʼ moti morwako law abola ema wuok.” Eka Saulo nongʼeyo ni en Samuel, mi nokulore nyaka e lowo monindo piny e lowo auma.
15 And Samuel said to Saul: 'Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?' And Saul answered: 'I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.'
Samuel nowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ichanda kimiyo awuok oko?” Saulo nodwoke niya, “An gi midhiero maduongʼ. Jo-Filistia osemonja kendo kedo koda, Nyasaye bende oseweya. Tinde ok odwoka, gi dwond jonabi kata e yor lek. Mano emomiyo aluongi ni mondo iwachna gima onego atim?”
16 And Samuel said: 'Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?
Samuel nowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ipenja wach ka Jehova Nyasaye oseweyi mobedo jasiki?
17 And the LORD hath wrought for Himself; as He spoke by me; and the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
Jehova Nyasaye osetimo mana gima nakoroni. Jehova Nyasaye osegolo loch e lweti mi omiye achiel kuom jobathi ma en Daudi.
18 Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the LORD, and didst not execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
Nikech nidagi winjo Jehova Nyasaye kendo timo kaka nochiki mondo itim ne jo-Amalek mane en-go gi mirima maduongʼ, mano emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye osetimoni gini kawuono.
19 Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the LORD will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.'
Jehova Nyasaye dhi chiwo jo-Israel kaachiel kodi ni jo-Filistia, kendo kiny in kod yawuoti unubed koda. Jehova Nyasaye biro chiwo jolweny mag Israel ni jo-Filistia.”
20 Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
To gisano Saulo nogore moriere piny ka luoro omake nikech weche Samuel. Tekre norumo nikech ne pok ochiemo odiechiengʼ ngima gi otieno.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore affrighted, and said unto him: 'Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
Kane dhakono obiro ir Saulo moneno kaka nobwok malich, nowacho niya, “Ne, jatichni madhako osetimo gima ne ichike. Ne akawo ngimana ka nono kane atimo gima ne iwacho ni atim.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.'
Koro yie iwinj jatichni mondo iyiena amiyi chiemo moro minyalo chamo mondo iyud teko mar dok.”
23 But he refused, and said: 'I will not eat.' But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
Nodagi mowacho niya, “Ok nachiem.” To joge noriwore gi dhakono kamedo kwaye, mi nowinjogi. Noa malo e lowo mobet e kom.
24 And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she made haste, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof;
Dhakono ne nigi nyarwath machwe e ode, mine oyangʼe mapiyo piyo. Nokawo mogo, modwalo motedogo makati ma ok oketie thowi.
25 and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
Eka noketo chiemo e nyim Saulo gi joge mine gichiemo. Bangʼe ne giwuok gotienono mi gidhi.
