1 Samuel 28
1 In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị Filistia chịkọtara ndị agha ha jikere ịlụso ndị Izrel agha. Akish eze Gat gwara Devid okwu, “Ghọtakwa na gị na ndị agha gị ga-eso mụ na ndị agha m gaa ibu agha.”
2 David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
Devid zara ya sị, “Ị ga-eji anya gị hụrụ ihe ohu gị ga-eme.” Akish zara sị, “Ọ dị mma aga m eme gị onye nche m ụbọchị ndụ gị niile.”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
Nʼoge a Samuel anwụọla, ndị Izrel niile rukwara ụjụ nʼihi ya, lie ya nʼobodo ya bụ Rema. Sọl achụpụsịakwala ndị niile na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase na ndị dibịa afa site nʼala ahụ.
4 The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
Ndị Filistia zukọtara, bịa maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Shunem, ebe Sọl na ndị Izrel niile zukọtakwara maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilboa.
5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
Mgbe Sọl hụrụ igwe ndị agha ndị Filistia, oke ụjọ jidere ya.
6 When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
Ọ jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase, ma Onyenwe anyị azaghị ya. Ọ zaghị na nrọ, maọbụ site nʼUrim, maọbụ site nʼọnụ ndị amụma.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl sịrị ndị na-ejere ya ozi, “Chọtara m nwanyị onye na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase, ka m gakwuru ya jụta ya ase.” Ha sịrị, “E nwere otu nwanyị dị otu a nʼEndoa.”
8 Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
Ya mere, Sọl nwogharịrị onwe ya, yiri uwe ọzọ, o ruo nʼabalị, ya na ndị ikom abụọ gakwuru nwanyị ahụ. Ọ sịrị, “Jụtara m mmụọ ase, kpọlitekwara m onye m ga-akpọ aha ya.”
9 The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
Ma nwanyị ahụ sịrị ya, “Nʼezie gị onwe gị maara ihe Sọl mere. Ọ kwụsịla ndị niile na-ajụ mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase, na ndị dibịa afa site nʼala a. Nʼihi gịnị ka iji a gbara ndụ m ọnya, ime ka m nwụọ?”
10 Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
Ma Sọl jiri Onyenwe anyị ṅụọra ya iyi, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, agaghị ata gị ahụhụ nʼihi ihe a.”
11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị ahụ jụrụ, “Onye ka ị chọrọ ka m mee ka ọ rịgokwute gị?” Sọl sịrị, “Mee ka Samuel rịgokwute m.”
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
Mgbe nwanyị ahụ hụrụ Samuel, o tiri mkpu sị, “Gịnị mere iji ghọgbuo m? Gị onwe gị bụ Sọl!”
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
Eze sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu! Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Nwanyị ahụ sịrị, “A hụrụ m chi ka o si nʼala na-arịgopụta.”
14 He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
Sọl jụrụ, “Gịnị ka onye ahụ yiri nʼọdịdị?” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ agadi nwoke na-arịgota, e ji uwe mwụda kpuchie ahụ ya.” Mgbe ahụ, Sọl matara na ọ bụ Samuel. O kpuru ihu nʼala, kpọọkwa isiala.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
Samuel sịrị Sọl, “Gịnị mere i ji esogbu m, site na ịkpọlite m?” Sọl zara, “Anọ m nʼoke nsogbu. Ndị Filistia na-ebuso m agha, ma Chineke esitekwala nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya. Ọ naghị azakwa m ọzọ, maọbụ site na ndị amụma, maọbụ site na nrọ. Nʼihi ya ka m ji kpọọ gị, ịjụ gị ihe m ga-eme.”
16 Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?
Samuel sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka i ji na-ajụ m, ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị ewezugala onwe ya site nʼebe ị nọ, ghọọkwara gị onye iro?
17 Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even to David.
Onyenwe anyị emeela ihe ọ sị na ọ ga-eme. Ọ napụla gị alaeze gị were ya nye Devid.
18 Because you didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you today.
Ihe ndị a niile na-aga ịdakwasị gị nʼihi na i geghị ntị na ndụmọdụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe o were iwe dị ọkụ megide ndị Amalek.
19 Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
Onyenwe anyị ga-arara gị na ndị Izrel nyefee nʼaka ndị Filistia, echi gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom ga-abịa nọnyeere m nʼebe a. Onyenwe anyị ga-ararakwa ndị agha Izrel nye nʼaka ndị Filistia.”
20 Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
Ngwangwa, Sọl dara nʼala, gbatịa onwe ya nʼoke egwu, nʼihi okwu ndị a niile Samuel kwuru. Ike adịghịkwa nʼime ya nʼihi agụụ, ebe ọ bụ na o ribeghị nri ọbụla ụbọchị ahụ niile.
21 The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
Mgbe nwanyị a hụrụ ọnọdụ Sọl, ọ gwara ya okwu sị ya, “Onyenwe m, lee, ohu gị rubere isi mee ihe ị sị m mee. Ọ bụkwa ndụ m ka m ji chụọ aja imezu ihe ị rịọrọ m.
22 Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
Ugbu a, biko, gee ntị nʼihe ohu gị na-aga ịgwa gị. Kwere ka m nye gị nri ka i rie, ka i nweta ike ị ga-eji laghachi.”
23 But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
Ma Sọl jụrụ iri nri ọbụla. Ma ndị ikom ya na ha so malitere ịrịọ ya tutu ruo mgbe o kwenyere bilie, nọdụ ala nʼelu ihe ndina.
24 The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
Nwanyị ahụ mere ngwangwa gbuo nwa ehi gbara abụba o nwere nʼụlọ ya. O jikwa ụtụ ọka mee achịcha nke etinyeghị ihe na-eko achịcha nʼime ya,
25 She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
O doziri nri nʼihu Sọl na ndị ikom ya. Ha rikwara ya. Ha biliri laa nʼabalị ahụ.
