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].”
At nangyari sa mga araw na yaon, na pinisan ng mga Filisteo ang kanilang mga hukbo sa pakikidigma upang lumaban sa Israel. At sinabi ni Achis kay David, Talastasin mong maigi na ikaw ay lalabas na kasama ko sa hukbo, ikaw at ang inyong mga lalake.
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.”
At sinabi ni David kay Achis, Kaya't iyong nalalaman kung anong gagawin ng iyong lingkod. At sinabi ni Achis kay David, Kaya't gagawin kitang bantay sa aking ulo magpakailan man.
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].
Si Samuel nga ay namatay, at pinanaghuyan ng buong Israel at inilibing siya sa Rama, sa makatuwid baga'y sa kaniyang sariling bayan. At pinalayas ni Saul sa lupain, yaong mga nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at ang mga manghuhula.
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].
At nagpipisan ang mga Filisteo, at naparoon at humantong sa Sunam: at pinisan ni Saul ang buong Israel, at sila'y humantong sa Gilboa.
5 When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
At nang makita ni Saul ang hukbo ng mga Filisteo, siya'y natakot, at ang kaniyang puso ay nanginig na mainam.
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.
At nang magusisa si Saul sa Panginoon, ay hindi siya sinagot ng Panginoon, maging sa panaginip man, ni sa Urim man, ni sa pamamagitan man ng mga propeta.
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Ihanap ninyo ako ng isang babae na nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, upang ako'y pumaroon sa kaniya, at magusisa sa kaniya. At sinabi ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa kaniya. Narito, may isang babae na nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu sa Endor.
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].”
At hindi napakilala si Saul, at nagsuot ng ibang kasuutan, at naparoon siya at ang dalawang lalake na kasama niya, at sila'y dumating sa babae nang kinagabihan: at kaniyang sinabi, Hulaan mo ako isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa pamamagitan ng sinasanggunian mong espiritu, at iahon mo sa akin sinomang banggitin ko sa iyo.
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].”
At sinabi ng babae sa kaniya, Narito, iyong nalalaman ang ginawa ni Saul, kung paanong kaniyang inihiwalay yaong mga nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at ang mga manghuhula, sa lupain: bakit nga ipinaglalagay mo ng silo ang aking buhay, upang ipapatay ako?
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.”
At sumumpa si Saul sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, walang parusang mangyayari sa iyo dahil sa bagay na ito.
11 Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng babae, Sinong iaahon ko sa iyo? At kaniyang sinabi, Iahon mo si Samuel sa akin.
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]!”
At nang makita ng babae si Samuel, ay sumigaw ng malakas na tinig at nagsalita ang babae kay Saul, na sinasabi, Bakit mo ako dinaya? sapagka't ikaw ay si 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.”
At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Huwag kang matakot: sapagka't anong iyong nakikita? At sinabi ng babae kay Saul, Aking nakikita'y isang dios na lumilitaw sa lupa.
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.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniya, Ano ang kaniyang anyo? At sinabi niya, Isang matandang lalake ay lumilitaw; at siya'y nabibilot ng isang balabal. At nakilala ni Saul, na si Samuel, at siya'y yumukod sa lupa, at nagbigay galang.
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!”
At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Bakit mo binagabag ako sa aking pagahon? At sumagot si Saul, Ako'y totoong naliligalig; sapagka't ang mga Filisteo ay nangdidigma laban sa akin, at ang Dios ay humiwalay sa akin, at hindi na ako sinasagot, kahit sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta, ni ng panaginip man: kaya tinawag kita, upang maipakilala mo sa akin kung ano ang aking gagawin.
16 Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
At sinabi ni Samuel, Bakit nga nagtatanong ka sa akin, dangang ang Panginoon ay humiwalay sa iyo, at naging iyong kaaway?
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.
At ginawa ng Panginoon ang gaya ng sinalita niya sa pamamagitan ko: at inihiwalay ng Panginoon ang kaharian sa iyong kamay, at ibinigay sa iyong kapuwa, sa makatuwid baga'y kay 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.
Sapagka't hindi mo sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, at hindi mo ginawa ang kaniyang mabagsik na galit sa Amalec, kaya't ginawa ng Panginoon ang bagay na ito sa iyo sa araw na ito.
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].
Bukod dito'y ibibigay ng Panginoon ang Israel naman na kalakip mo sa kamay ng mga Filisteo: at bukas, ikaw at ang iyong mga anak ay masasama sa akin: ibibigay naman ng Panginoon ang hukbo ng Israel sa kamay ng mga 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.
Nang magkagayo'y biglang nabulagta si Saul sa lupa, at siya'y natakot na mainam, dahil sa mga salita ni Samuel; at nawalan siya ng lakas; sapagka't hindi siya kumain ng tinapay buong araw, ni buong gabi man.
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.
At naparoon ang babae kay Saul at nakita na siya'y totoong bagabag, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, narinig ng iyong lingkod ang iyong tinig, at aking inilagay ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at aking dininig ang iyong mga salita na iyong sinalita sa akin.
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].”
Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa iyo, iyong dinggin naman ang tinig ng iyong lingkod, at papaglagyin mo ako ng isang subo na tinapay sa harap mo; at iyong kanin upang ikaw ay lumakas, paglakad mo ng iyong lakad.
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.
Nguni't siya'y tumanggi at nagsabi, Hindi ako kakain. Nguni't ipinilit ng kaniyang mga lingkod na pati ng babae; at dininig niya ang kanilang tinig. Sa gayo'y siya'y bumangon sa lupa, ay umupo sa higaan.
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.
At ang babae ay mayroong isang matabang guyang baka sa bahay; at siya'y nagmadali, at pinatay niya; at siya'y kumuha ng harina at kaniyang minasa, at kaniyang niluto na tinapay na walang lebadura;
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.
At kaniyang dinala sa harap ni Saul, at sa harap ng kaniyang mga lingkod; at sila'y kumain. Nang magkagayo'y sila'y bumangon, at umalis nang gabing yaon.
