1 Samuel 28
1 And it comes to pass in those days, that the Philistines gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and Achish says to David, “You certainly know that you go out with me into the camp, you and your men.”
Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio Afilisti makĩũngania mbũtũ ciao makarũe na Isiraeli. Akishi akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũmenye atĩ wee na andũ aku nĩmũgatwarana na niĩ ita-inĩ.”
2 And David says to Achish, “Therefore you know that which your servant does.” And Achish says to David, “Therefore I appoint you keeper of my head [for] all the days.”
Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ũrĩĩonera ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩngĩhota gwĩka.” Akishi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega, na niĩ nĩngũgũtua mũnangĩri wa hĩndĩ ciothe.”
3 And Samuel has died, and all Israel mourns for him, and buries him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul has turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samũeli nĩakuĩte, na Isiraeli othe makamũcakaĩra na makamũthika itũũra-inĩ rĩake rĩa Rama. Saũlũ, nake nĩaingatĩte ago na aragũri makoima bũrũri ũcio.
4 And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathers all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
Afilisti makĩũngana na magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao kũu Shunemu, nake Saũlũ agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe na akĩamba hema kũu Giliboa.
5 and Saul sees the camp of the Philistines, and fears, and his heart trembles greatly,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Saũlũ, onire mbũtũ ya ita ya Afilisti, agĩĩtigĩra; ngoro yake ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya.
6 and Saul inquires of YHWH, and YHWH has not answered him, either by the dreams, or by the Lights, or by the prophets.
Nake agĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no Jehova ndaigana kũmũcookeria na irooto kana Urimu, o na kana anabii.
7 And Saul says to his servants, “Seek a woman for me possessing a familiar spirit, and I go to her, and inquire of her”; and his servants say to him, “Behold, a woman possessing a familiar spirit [is] in En-dor.”
Saũlũ agĩcooka akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Njarĩriai mũndũ-wa-nja mũragũri, nĩguo thiĩ ngatuĩrie ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we.” Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũragũri ũmwe kũu Eni-Dori.”
8 And Saul disguises himself and puts on other garments, and goes, he and two of the men with him, and they come to the woman by night, and he says, “Please divine to me by the familiar spirit, and cause him whom I say to you to come up to me.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ agĩkĩĩgarũra nĩguo ndakamenyeke, akĩĩhumba nguo ingĩ, na we na andũ eerĩ magĩthiĩ ũtukũ kũrĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũrĩra na roho, na ũndehere mũndũ ũrĩa ngũgweta.”
9 And the woman says to him, “Behold, you have known that which Saul has done, that he has cut off those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why are you laying a snare for my soul—to put me to death?”
No mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Saũlũ ekĩte, nĩaniinĩte ago na aragũri kuuma bũrũri ũyũ. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wambĩre muoyo wakwa mũtego ũndehere gĩkuũ gĩakwa?”
10 And Saul swears to her by YHWH, saying, “YHWH lives, punishment does not meet you for this thing.”
Saũlũ akĩĩhĩta harĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, ndũkũherithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũyũ.”
11 And the woman says, “Whom do I bring up to you?” And he says, “Bring up Samuel to me.”
Ningĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ngũkũrehithĩria?” Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehe Samũeli.”
12 And the woman sees Samuel, and cries with a loud voice, and the woman speaks to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you [are] Saul!”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio onire Samũeli, agĩkayũrũrũka na mũgambo mũnene, akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Waheenia nĩkĩ? Wee nĩwe Saũlũ!”
13 And the king says to her, “Do not fear; for what have you seen?” And the woman says to Saul, “I have seen gods coming up out of the earth.”
Mũthamaki nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra. Nĩ kĩĩ ũroona?” Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona roho uumĩte na thĩ.”
14 And he says to her, “What [is] his form?” And she says, “An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an upper robe”; and Saul knows that he [is] Samuel, and bows—face to her earth—and pays respect.
Akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ahaana atĩa?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ ũraambata ehumbĩte nguo ndaaya.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩmenya atĩ ũcio aarĩ Samũeli, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩkoma na nda, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
15 And Samuel says to Saul, “Why have you troubled me, to bring me up?” And Saul says, “I have great distress, and the Philistines are fighting against me, God has turned aside from me, and has not answered me anymore, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for you to let me know what I [should] do.”
Samũeli akĩũria Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũũthĩĩnie, ũkandehithia gũkũ?” Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ mũnyamarĩku mũno. Afilisti nĩmararũa na niĩ, na Ngai nĩanjehereire, akaaga kũnjookeria ũhoro na njĩra ya anabii, kana ya irooto. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndagwĩta ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa ngwĩka.”
16 And Samuel says, “And why do you ask me, and YHWH has turned aside from you, and is your enemy?
Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũgũkĩnjũũria nĩkĩ, kuona atĩ rĩu Jehova nĩakwehereire na agatuĩka thũ yaku?
17 And YHWH does for Himself as He has spoken by my hand, and YHWH tears the kingdom out of your hand, and gives it to your neighbor—to David.
Jehova nĩekĩte o ta ũrĩa oigire na kanua gakwa. Jehova nĩagũtunyĩte ũthamaki uume moko-inĩ maku, na akaũnengera mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku, nĩwe Daudi.
18 Because you have not listened to the voice of YHWH, nor did the fierceness of His anger on Amalek—therefore YHWH has done this thing to you this day;
Nĩ ũndũ wee ndwathĩkĩire Jehova, kana ũgĩkinyĩria Amaleki mangʼũrĩ make mahiũ, nĩkĩo Jehova agwĩkĩte ũguo ũmũthĩ.
19 indeed, YHWH also gives Israel into the hand of the Philistines with you, and tomorrow you and your sons [are] with me; YHWH also gives the camp of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
Jehova nĩegũkũneana, wee hamwe na Isiraeli, kũrĩ Afilisti, na rũciũ wee na ariũ aku mũgaakorwo mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ. Jehova nĩagacooka aneane mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli kũrĩ Afilisti.”
20 And Saul hurries and falls—the fullness of his stature—to the earth, and fears greatly because of the words of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day, and all the night.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩgũa, agĩĩtambũrũkia thĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ guoya nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio wa Samũeli. Hinya wake ũgĩthira, tondũ ndaarĩĩte kĩndũ mũthenya ũcio wothe o na ũtukũ.
21 And the woman comes to Saul, and sees that he has been greatly troubled, and says to him, “Behold, your maidservant has listened to your voice, and I put my soul in my hand, and I obey your words which you have spoken to me;
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio okire kũrĩ Saũlũ na akĩona ũrĩa aamakĩte, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja nĩĩgwathĩkĩire. Ndatwarĩrĩria muoyo wakwa ũgwati-inĩ, ndeeka ũrĩa ũnjĩĩrire njĩke.
22 and now, please listen, you also, to the voice of your maidservant, and I set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, and there is power in you when you go in the way.”
Rĩu ndagũthaitha, thikĩrĩria ndungata yaku, ũreke ngũhe tũirio nĩguo ũrĩe ũgĩe na hinya ũhote gũthiĩ rũgendo.”
23 And he refuses and says, “I do not eat”; and his servants urge him on, and also the woman, and he listens to their voice, and rises from the earth, and sits on the bed.
Nake akĩrega, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndikũrĩa.” No andũ ake makĩnyiitanĩra hamwe na mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, makĩmũringĩrĩria, nake akĩmaigua. Agĩũkĩra hau thĩ agĩikarĩra ũrĩrĩ.
24 And the woman has a calf of the stall in the house, and she hurries and slaughters it, and takes flour, and kneads, and bakes it [into] unleavened things,
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩ aarĩ na njaũ noru kũu nyũmba, ĩrĩa aathĩnjire o narua. Akĩoya mũtu, akĩũkanda na akĩruga mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
25 and brings [them] near before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on during that night.
Agĩcooka agĩtwarĩra Saũlũ na andũ ake, nao makĩrĩa. Na ũtukũ o ro ũcio magĩũkĩra magĩthiĩ.
