1 Samuel 28
1 And it was in the days those and they gathered together [the] Philistines armies their for war to fight against Israel and he said Achish to David certainly you will know that with me you will go out in the camp you and men your.
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.”
2 And he said David to Achish therefore you you will know [that] which he will do servant your and he said Achish to David therefore a watchman of head my I will make you all the days.
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.”
3 And Samuel he had died and they had mourned for him all Israel and they had buried him in Ramah in own city his and Saul he had removed the necromancers and the soothsayers from the land.
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.
4 And they gathered together [the] Philistines and they came and they encamped at Shunem and he gathered Saul all Israel and they encamped at Gilboa.
And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathers all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
5 And he saw Saul [the] camp of [the] Philistines and he was afraid and it trembled heart his exceedingly.
and Saul sees the camp of the Philistines, and fears, and his heart trembles greatly,
6 And he enquired Saul by Yahweh and not he answered him Yahweh neither by dreams nor by Urim nor by prophets.
and Saul inquires of YHWH, and YHWH has not answered him, either by the dreams, or by the Lights, or by the prophets.
7 And he said Saul to servants his seek for me a woman [the] owner of necromancy so let me go to her so I may consult her and they said servants his to him there! a woman of an owner of necromancy [is] in En-dor.
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.”
8 And he disguised himself Saul and he was clothed garments other and he went he and two men with him and they came to the woman night and he said (divine *Q(k)*) please for me by necromancy and bring up for me [the one] whom I will say to you.
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.”
9 And she said the woman to him here! you you know [that] which he has done Saul that he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayer from the land and why? [are] you setting traps on life my to cause to die me.
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?”
10 And he swore to her Saul by Yahweh saying [by] [the] life of Yahweh if it will happen to you punishment in the matter this.
And Saul swears to her by YHWH, saying, “YHWH lives, punishment does not meet you for this thing.”
11 And she said the woman whom? will I bring up for you and he said Samuel bring up for me.
And the woman says, “Whom do I bring up to you?” And he says, “Bring up Samuel to me.”
12 And she saw the woman Samuel and she cried out with a voice great and she said the woman to Saul saying why? have you deceived me and you [are] Saul.
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!”
13 And he said to her the king may not you fear for what? have you seen and she said the woman to Saul gods I have seen coming up from the earth.
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.”
14 And he said to her what? [is] appearance his and she said a man old [is] coming up and he [is] wrapped a robe and he knew Saul that [was] Samuel it and he bowed low face [the] ground towards and he bowed down.
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.
15 And he said Samuel to Saul why? have you disturbed me by bringing up me and he said Saul it is distress to me exceedingly and [the] Philistines - [are] fighting against me and God he has turned aside from with me and not he has answered me yet neither by [the] hand of prophets nor by dreams and I have summoned! you to make known to me what? will I do.
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.”
16 And he said Samuel and why? do you ask me and Yahweh he has turned aside from with you and he has become enemy your.
And Samuel says, “And why do you ask me, and YHWH has turned aside from you, and is your enemy?
17 And he has done Yahweh to him just as he spoke by hand my and he has torn Yahweh the kingdom from hand your and he has given it to neighbor your to David.
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.
18 Since not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and not you executed [the] burning of anger his on Amalek there-fore the thing this he has done to you Yahweh the day this.
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;
19 So he may give Yahweh also Israel with you in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and tomorrow you and sons your [will be] with me also [the] camp of Israel he will give Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] Philistines.
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.”
20 And he made haste Saul and he fell [the] fullness of stature his [the] ground towards and he was afraid exceedingly from [the] words of Samuel also strength not it was in him for not he had eaten food all the day and all the night.
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.
21 And she came the woman to Saul and she saw that he was terrified exceedingly and she said to him here! she has listened maidservant your to voice your and I have put life my in palm my and I have listened to words your which you have spoken to me.
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;
22 And now listen please also you to [the] voice of maidservant your so let me set before you a piece of bread and eat so may it be in you strength for you will go on the way.
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.”
23 And he refused and he said not I will eat and they urged him servants his and also the woman and he listened to voice their and he arose from the ground and he sat to the bed.
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.
24 And [belonged] to the woman a calf of [the] stall in the house and she made haste and she slaughtered it and she took flour and she kneaded [it] and she baked it unleavened bread.
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,
25 And she brought [them] near before Saul and before servants his and they ate and they arose and they went on the night that.
and brings [them] near before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on during that night.
