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].”
Ket napasamak kadagidiay nga aldaw nga inummong dagiti Filisteo dagiti armadada para iti gubat tapno makirangetda iti Israel. Kinuna ni Akis kenni David, “Ipasiguradom a makikuyogka iti armadak a mapan rumaut, sika ken dagiti tattaom.”
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.”
Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “Maammoamto ngarud no ania ti kabaelan nga aramiden ti adipenmo.” Kinuna ni Akis kenni David, “Isu a sikanto ti mangsalaknib kaniak agingga a sibibiagak.”
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].
Ita, natayen ni Samuel; nagladingit ti entero nga Israel ket intabonda isuna idiay Rama, iti bukodna nga ili. Ita, imparit ni Saul iti daga ti pannakiuman kadagiti natay wenno kadagiti espiritu.
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].
Naguummong dagiti Filisteo ket immayda nagkampo idiay Sunem; ket inummong ni Saul ti Israel ket nagkampoda iti Gilboa.
5 When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
Idi nakita ni Saul ti armada dagiti Filisteo, nagbuteng isuna ket kasta unay ti panagkibba-kibba ti barukongna.
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.
Idi nagkararag ni Saul kenni Yahweh tapno agpatulong, saan isuna a sinungbatan ni Yahweh—uray babaen kadagiti tagtagainep wenno babaen iti Urim wenno babaen kadagiti profeta.
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.”
Ket kinuna ni Saul kadagiti adipenna, “Ibirokandak iti babai a makium-uman kadagiti natay tapno mapanak makiuman kenkuana.” Kinuna dagiti adipenna kenkuana, “Wen, adda maysa a babai idiay Endor a makium-uman kadagiti natay.”
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].”
Nanglimlimo ni Saul, nagarruat iti sabali a pagan-anay, ket napan a kaduana ti dua a lallaki; rabii a napanda iti ayan ti babai. Kinunana, “Makiumanka para kaniak, pangngaasim, babaen iti pannakisaritam kadagiti natay, awagam ti siasinoman nga inaganak.
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].”
Kinuna ti babai kenkuana, “Saanmo aya nga ammmo ti inaramid ni Saul, no kasano ti panangiparitna iti daga iti pannakiuman kadagiti natay wenno kadagiti espiritu. Isu nga apay a kayatnak a palab-ogan, tapno ipapataynak?”
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.”
Nagsapata ni Saul kenkuana iti nagan ni Yahweh a kinunana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, awan ti pannusa a mapasamakto kenka gapu iti daytoy a banag.”
11 Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
Ket kinuna ti babai, “Siasino ngarud ti awagak para kenka?” Kinuna ni Saul, “Awagam ni Samuel para kaniak.”
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]!”
Idi nakita ti babai ni Samuel, nagriaw isuna ket nagsao kenni Saul a kinunana, “Apay nga inallilawnak? Sika ni Saul.”
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.”
Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Saanka nga agbuteng. Ania ti makitam?” Kinuna ti babai kenni Saul, “Makitkitak ti maysa a dios a rum-rummuar manipud iti daga.”
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.
Kinunana kenkuana, “Ania ti langana?” Kinuna ti babai, “Maysa a lakay ti rum-rumuar; nakakagay iti atiddog.” Ammon ni Saul a dayta ni Samuel, ket nagrukob isuna iti daga a mangipakita iti panagraemna kenkuana.
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!”
Kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Apay a sininganak ken inawagannak?” Simmungbat ni Saul, “Mariribokanak unay, ta gubgubatendak dagiti Filisteo, ken binaybay-annakon ti Dios ket saannakon a sungsungbatan, uray babaen kadagiti profeta, wenno babaen kadagiti tagtagainep. Isu nga inawaganka, tapno ipakaammom kaniak no ania ti aramidek.”
16 Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
Kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ngarud ti kiddawem kaniak, ita ta pinanawannakan ni Yahweh ken nagbalin isunan a kabusormo?
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.
Inaramid ni Yahweh kenka ti imbagana nga aramidenna. Inikkat ni Yahweh ti pagarian manipud kadagiti imam ket intedna daytoy iti sabali—kenni David.
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.
Gapu ta saanmo a tinungpal ti timek ni Yahweh ken saanmo nga impalak-am ti kasta unay a pungtotna kadagiti Amalekita, isu't gapuna nga inaramidna daytoy ita kenka.
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].
Maysa pay, iyawatnakanto ni Yahweh ken ti Israel iti ima dagiti Filisteo. Inton bigat, sika ken dagiti annakmo ket maitiponto kaniak. Iyawatto met ni Yahweh ti armada ti Israel iti ima dagiti Filisteo.”
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.
Ket dagus a napasag ni Saul iti daga ket kasta unay ti butengna gapu kadagiti imbaga ni Samuel. Kimmapsut isuna, ta saan isuna a nangan iti nagmalmalem, uray iti dayta a nagpatnag.
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.
Immasideg ti babai kenni Saul ket nakitana a mariribokan unay isuna, kinunana kenkuana, “Kitaem, dinengngeg ti adipenmo a babai ti timekmo; impustak ti biagko ket dimngegak kadagiti sasao nga imbagam kaniak.
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].”
Ita ngarud, ipakpakaasik kenka, denggem met ti timek ti adipenmo a babai, ken ipalubosmo a mangidasarak iti bassit a taraon iti sangoanam. Manganka tapno pumigsaka iti panagawidmo.”
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.
Ngem nagkedked ni Saul ket kinunana, “Saanak a mangan.” Ngem impapilit dagiti adipen ni Saul, kasta met ti babai ket dimngeg isuna iti timekda. Timmakder ngarud manipud iti daga ket nagtugaw iti pagiddaan.
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.
Addaan ti babai iti napalukmeg a baka iti balayna; nagdardaras a nangparti iti daytoy; nangala iti arina, minasana daytoy, ket linutona daytoy a tinapay nga awan laokna a lebadurana.
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.
Inyegna daytoy iti sangoanan ni Saul ken kadagiti adipenna, ket nanganda. Kalpasanna, nagrubbuatda ket pimmanawda iti dayta a rabii.
