1 Samuel 28
1 Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
A IA mau la, hoakoakoa ae la na Pilisetia i ko lakou poe koa, no ke kaua e kaua aku ai i ka Iseraela. I aku la o Akisa ia Davida, E ike pono oe, o oe kekahi e hele pu me au i ke kaua, o oe a me kou poe kanaka.
2 David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
I mai la o Davida ia Akisa, E ike pono auanei oe i ka mea a kau kauwa e hana aku ai. I aku la o Akisa ia Davida, No ia mea, e hoolilo au ia oe i mea malama i kuu poo i na la a pau.
3 [While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
A ua make o Samuela, a ua kanikau o ka Iseraela a pau ia ia, a ua kanu lakou ia ia ma Rama, ma kona kulanakauhale iho. A ua hookuke aku o Saula i na ninau uhane, a me na kupua mai ka aina aku.
4 The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
Hoakoakoaia ae la ko Pilisetia, a hele mai, a hoomoana ma Sunema; a hoakoakoa ae la o Saula i ka Iseraela a pau, a hoomoana iho la ma Gileboa.
5 When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
A ike aku la o Saula i ka poe kaua o na Pilisetia, makau iho la ia, a haalulu nui kona naau.
6 He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
A ia Saula i ninau ai ia Iehova, aole o Iehova i olelo mai ia ia, aole ma na moe uhane, aole ma ka Urima, aole ma na kaula.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
Alaila olelo aku la o Saula i kana poe kauwa, E imi oukou no'u i wahine ninau uhane, i hele aku ai au e ninau ia ia. I mai la kana mau kauwa ia ia, Aia no ka wahine ninau i na uhane ma Enedora.
8 So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
Hoano e o Saula ia ia iho a hookomo i ka lole e, a hele aku me na kanaka elua me ia, a hiki lakou i ka wahine i ka po: i aku la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoakaka mai oe ia'u ma ka ninau uhane, a e hoala mai no'u i ka mea a'u e hoohiki aku ai ia oe.
9 But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
I mai la ka wahine ia ia, Aia hoi, ua ike no oe i ka mea a Saula i hana'i i kona luku ana i na mea ninau uhane, a me na kupua mai ka aina aku; no ke aha la oe i punihei mai ai i kuu ola, i lilo ai au i ka make?
10 Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
A hoohiki aku la o Saula ia ia ma Iehova, i aku la, Ma ke ola o Iehova, aole e hiki mai ia oe ke ahewaia no keia mea.
11 Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
Alaila i aku la ka wahine, Owai la ka'u e hoala mai ai nou? I mai la ia, O Samuela kau e hoala mai ai no'u.
12 [So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
A ike aku la ka wahine ia Samuela, hooho aku la ia me ka leo nui: olelo aku la ka wahine ia Saula, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u? no ka mea, o Saula ka oe.
13 Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
I aku la ke alii ia ia, Mai makau oe: heaha la kau i ike ai? I mai la ka wahine ia Saula, He mea me he akua la ka'u i ike ai e pii mai ana mai ka honua mai.
14 Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
Ninau aku la oia ia ia, Pehea kona ano? I mai la ia, He kanaka elemakule e pii mai ana; a ua uhiia i ka aahu. A ike iho la o Saula, o Samuela no ia, kulou iho la kona maka i ka honua, a moe iho la.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
Olelo mai la o Samuela ia Saula, No ke aha la oe i hoonaue mai ai ia'u, i ka hoala mai ia'u? I aku la o Saula, Ua pilikia loa wau: no ka mea, ke kaua mai nei na Pilisetia ia'u, a ua haalele mai ke Akua ia'u, aole e olelo hou mai ia'u, aole ma ka lima o na kaula, aole ma na moe uhane: no ia mea, i kahea aku ai au ia oe, i hoike mai ai oe ia'u i ka mea a'u e hana aku ai.
16 Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
Olelo aku la o Samuela, No ke aha la oe i ninau mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia oe, a ua lilo ia i enemi nou?
17 He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
A ua hana o Iehova nona iho, e like me ka mea i oleloia e au, a ua kaili aku o Iehova i ke aupuni mai ou aku la, a haawi aku ia mea i kou hoalauna ia Davida;
18 You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
No kou hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova, aole hoi oe i hoopai aku i kona inaina nui maluna o ka Ameleka, no ia mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i keia mea ia oe i keia la.
19 Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
A e hoolilo hoi o Iehova i ka Iseraela me oe iloko a ka lima o na Pilisetia: a o oe pu me kau mau keiki me au i ka la apopo: a e hoolilo hoi o Iehova i ka poe koa o ka Iseraela iloko o ka lima o ko Pilisetia.
20 Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
Alaila hina koke iho la o Saula, a moe i ka loa ma ka honua, a makau loa iho la, no na olelo a Samuela: aohe ikaika iloko ona; no ka mea, aole ia i ai i ka berena ia, la a po, ia po a ao.
21 The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
A hele mai la ka wahine ia Saula, a ike aku la, ua pilikia loa ia, i aku la oia ia ia, Aia hoi, ua hoolohe kau kauwawahine i kou leo, a ua waiho au i kuu ola iloko o kuu lima, a ua hoolohe aku au i kau mau olelo au i olelo mai ai ia'u:
22 So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai oe i ka leo o kau kauwawahine, a e waiho aku au i wahi berena imua ou; a e ai iho oe, i ikaika ai oe i kou hele ana ma kou alanui.
23 But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
Hoole mai la ia, i mai la, Aole au e ai. Koi aku la kana mau kauwa me ka wahine ia ia: a hoolohe mai ia i ko lakou leo. Ala mai la ia mai ka honua mai, a noho iho la maluna o kahi moe.
24 The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
Aia no i ka wahine kekahi bipikeiki momona ma kona hale; pepehi koke iho la ia ia, a lawe ae la ia i ka palaoa, a kawili iho la, a pulehu aku la i ka berena hu ole:
25 She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
A lawe mai ia mea imua o Saula, a imua o kana mau kauwa, a ai iho la lakou. Ku ae la lakou a hele aku la ia po.
