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.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Filistifoɔ no boaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano sɛ wɔrebɛko atia Israel. Akis ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Merehwɛ kwan sɛ, wo ne wo mmarima bɛka me ho akɔ ɔko no.”
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.
Dawid penee so sɛ, “Ɛyɛ pa ara, woankasa bɛhunu deɛ yɛbɛtumi ayɛ.” Akis kaa sɛ, “Mɛyɛ wo me hobanbɔfoɔ afebɔɔ.”
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.
Saa ɛberɛ yi na Samuel awu, ama Israel nyinaa atwa agyaadwoɔ. Wɔsiee no wɔ ɔno ara ne kurom Rama. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Saulo apamo asamanfrɛfoɔ ne ahohomfrɛfoɔ afiri asase no so.
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.
Filistifoɔ no boaa wɔn ho ano, kyeree sraban wɔ Sunem. Ɛnna Saulo nso boaboaa Israelfoɔ no nyinaa ano, kyeree sraban wɔ Gilboa.
5 And he saw Saul [the] camp of [the] Philistines and he was afraid and it trembled heart his exceedingly.
Ɛberɛ a Saulo hunuu Filistifoɔ akodɔm dodoɔ no, ɔsuroeɛ, maa ehu bɛhyɛɛ nʼakoma ma.
6 And he enquired Saul by Yahweh and not he answered him Yahweh neither by dreams nor by Urim nor by prophets.
Ɔbisaa Awurade deɛ ɔnyɛ nanso Awurade ammua no, wɔ adaeɛsoɔ anaa ntontobɔ kronkron anaa adiyifoɔ so.
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.
Saulo ka kyerɛɛ nʼafotufoɔ sɛ, “Monhwehwɛ ɔbaa samanfrɛfoɔ bi mma me, na menkɔ ne hɔ abisa.” Nʼafotufoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔbaa samanfrɛfoɔ bi wɔ Endor.”
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.
Enti, Saulo sesaa ne ho, hyɛɛ ntadeɛ afoforɔ nsakyeramu bi a ɛnyɛ ɔhene afadeɛ, na ɔne mmarima no mu baanu kɔɔ ɔbaa no nkyɛn anadwo. Saulo kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ me ne obi a wawu kasa. Wobɛtumi afrɛ ne sunsum ama me anaa?”
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.
Ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Wopɛ sɛ wɔkum me anaa? Wonim sɛ Saulo apamo asamanfrɛfoɔ ne ahohomfrɛfoɔ nyinaa afiri asase yi so. Adɛn enti na wosum me afidie?”
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.
Saulo de Awurade din kaa no ntam sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, wɔrentwe wʼaso wɔ yei ho da.”
11 And she said the woman whom? will I bring up for you and he said Samuel bring up for me.
Afei, ɔbaa no bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na memfrɛ no mma wo?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Frɛ Samuel ma 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.
Na ɔbaa no hunuu Samuel no, ɔde nne kɛseɛ teaam ka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “woadaadaa me! Wone Saulo!”
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.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsuro. Ɛdeɛbɛn na wohunu?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Mehunu honhom bi sɛ apue afiri fam reba.”
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.
Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɔte sɛn?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Akɔkoraa bi a ɔhyɛ batakari, na ɔreba.” Ɛhɔ na Saulo hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Samuel enti, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase de nʼanim butuu fam.
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.
Samuel bisaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wofrɛ me de ha me saa?” Saulo buaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ amene me. Filistifoɔ de ɔko atentam yɛn. Na Onyankopɔn nso agya me. Mente ne nka wɔ adiyifoɔ nkyɛn anaa daeɛso mu. Enti, mafrɛ wo sɛ kyerɛ me deɛ menyɛ.”
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.
Na Samuel buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Awurade agya wo, abɛyɛ wo ɔtamfoɔ a, adɛn enti na worebisa me?
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.
Awurade ayɛ deɛ ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Wagye ahennie no afiri wo nsam de ama Dawid a ɔne wo resi akan.
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.
Awurade ayɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, woanni ne mmara a ɛfa Amalekfoɔ ho no so.
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.
Deɛ ɛka ho ne sɛ, ɔkyena, Awurade de wo ne Israel asraafodɔm nyinaa bɛma Filistifoɔ, na wo ne wo mma abɛka me ho wɔ ha. Awurade bɛma Israel akodɔm no nyinaa adi nkoguo.”
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.
Samuel nsɛm a Saulo teeɛ no enti, ehu kyekyeree no ma ɔhwee fam tim. Afei nso, na ɔnni ahoɔden biara, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnnidii da mu no ne anadwo mu no nyinaa.
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.
Ɔbaa no hunuu adwenem haw a ɔwɔ mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mede me nkwa too hɔ, yɛɛ wʼabisadeɛ.
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.
Enti, yɛ deɛ mɛkyerɛ wo sɛ yɛ no, na mama wo biribi adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma woanya ahoɔden, asane akɔ wʼakyi.”
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.
Nanso, Saulo antie. Mmarima a wɔka ne ho no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnnidi. Enti, akyire yi, ɔpenee so sɔre firi fam hɔ, tenaa akonnwa so.
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.
Na ɔbaa no ayɛn nantwie ba ama wadɔre sradeɛ enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔkumm no, na ɔfɔɔ asikyiresiam, fɔtɔeɛ de too apiti.
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.
Ɔde aduane no bɛsii Saulo ne ne mmarima no anim, ma wɔdiiɛ. Na wɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ anadwo no.
