1 Samuel 28
1 Forsothe it was doon in tho daies, Filisteis gaderiden her cumpenyes, that thei schulden be maad redi ayens Israel to batel. And Achis seide to Dauid, Thou witynge `wite now, for thou schalt go out with me in castels, thou and thi men.
那时，非利士人聚集军旅，要与以色列人打仗。亚吉对大卫说：“你当知道，你和跟随你的人都要随我出战。”
2 And Dauid seide to Achis, Now thou schalt wyte what thingis thi seruaunt schal do. And Achis seide to Dauid, And Y schal sette thee kepere of myn heed in alle dayes.
大卫对亚吉说：“仆人所能做的事，王必知道。”亚吉对大卫说：“这样，我立你永远作我的护卫长。”
3 Forsothe Samuel was deed, and al Israel biweilide hym, and thei birieden hym in Ramatha, his citee. And Saul dide awey fro the lond witchis and fals dyuynours, `and he slouy hem that hadden `charmers of deuelis `in her wombe.
那时撒母耳已经死了，以色列众人为他哀哭，葬他在拉玛，就是在他本城里。扫罗曾在国内不容有交鬼的和行巫术的人。
4 And Filisteis weren gaderid, and camen, and settiden tentis in Sunam; sotheli and Saul gaderide al Israel, and cam in to Gelboe.
非利士人聚集，来到书念安营；扫罗聚集以色列众人在基利波安营。
5 And Saul siy the castels of Filisteis, and he dredde, and his herte dredde greetli.
扫罗看见非利士的军旅就惧怕，心中发颤。
6 And he counselide the Lord; and the Lord answeride not to hym, nether bi preestis, nether bi dremes, nether bi profetis.
扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却不借梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。
7 And Saul seide to hise seruauntis, Seke ye to me a womman hauynge a feend spekynge in the wombe; and Y schal go to hir, and Y schal axe bi hir. And hise seruauntis seiden to hym, A womman hauynge a feend spekynge in the wombe is in Endor.
扫罗吩咐臣仆说：“当为我找一个交鬼的妇人，我好去问她。”臣仆说：“在隐·多珥有一个交鬼的妇人。”
8 Therfor Saul chaungide his clothing, and he was clothid with othere clothis; and he yede, and twei men with hym; and thei camen to the womman in the nyyt. And he seyde, Dyuyne thou to me in a fend spekynge in the wombe, and reise thou to me whom Y schal seie to thee.
于是扫罗改了装，穿上别的衣服，带着两个人，夜里去见那妇人。扫罗说：“求你用交鬼的法术，将我所告诉你的死人，为我招上来。”
9 And the womman seide to hym, Lo! thou woost hou grete thingis Saul hath do, and hou he dide awei fro the lond witchis, and fals dyuynours; whi therfor settist thou tresoun to my lijf, that Y be slayn?
妇人对他说：“你知道扫罗从国中剪除交鬼的和行巫术的。你为何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？”
10 And Saul swoor to hir in the Lord, and seide, The Lord lyueth; for no thing of yuel schal come to thee for this thing.
扫罗向妇人指着耶和华起誓说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你必不因这事受刑。”
11 And the womman seide to hym, Whom schal Y reise to thee? And he seide, Reise thou Samuel to me.
妇人说：“我为你招谁上来呢？”回答说：“为我招撒母耳上来。”
12 Sotheli whanne the womman hadde seyn Samuel, sche criede with greet vois, and seide to Saul, Whi hast thou disseyued me? for thou art Saul.
妇人看见撒母耳，就大声呼叫，对扫罗说：“你是扫罗，为什么欺哄我呢？”
13 And the kyng seide to hir, Nyl thou drede; what hast thou seyn? And the womman seide to Saul, Y siy goddis stiynge fro erthe.
王对妇人说：“不要惧怕，你看见了什么呢？”妇人对扫罗说：“我看见有神从地里上来。”
14 And Saul seide to hir, What maner forme is of hym? And sche seide, An eld man stieth, and he is clothid with a mentil. And Saul vndirstood that it was Samuel; and Saul bowide hym silf on his face to the erthe, and worschipide.
扫罗说：“他是怎样的形状？”妇人说：“有一个老人上来，身穿长衣。”扫罗知道是撒母耳，就屈身，脸伏于地下拜。
15 Sotheli Samuel seide to Saul, Whi hast thou disesid me, that Y schulde be reisid? And Saul seide, Y am constreyned greetli; for Filisteis fiyten ayens me, and God yede awei fro me, and he nolde here me, nether bi the hond of profetis, nether bi dremes; therfor Y clepide thee, that thou schuldist schewe to me what Y schal do.
撒母耳对扫罗说：“你为什么搅扰我，招我上来呢？”扫罗回答说：“我甚窘急；因为非利士人攻击我， 神也离开我，不再借先知或梦回答我。因此请你上来，好指示我应当怎样行。”
16 And Samuel seide, What axist thou me, whanne God hath go awei fro thee, and passide to thin enemy?
撒母耳说：“耶和华已经离开你，且与你为敌，你何必问我呢？
17 For the Lord schal do to thee as he spak in myn hond, and he schal kitte awey thi rewme fro thin hond, and he schal yyue it to Dauid, thi neiybore;
耶和华照他借我说的话，已经从你手里夺去国权，赐与别人，就是大卫。
18 for thou obeiedist not to the vois of the Lord, nether didist the `ire of hys strong veniaunce in Amalech. Therfor the Lord hath do to thee to day that that thou suffrist;
因你没有听从耶和华的命令；他恼怒亚玛力人，你没有灭绝他们，所以今日耶和华向你这样行，
19 and the Lord schal yyue also Israel with thee in the hond of Filisteis. Forsothe to morewe thou and thi sones schulen be with me; but also the Lord schal bitake the castels of Israel in the hond of Filistiym.
并且耶和华必将你和以色列人交在非利士人的手里。明日你和你众子必与我在一处了；耶和华必将以色列的军兵交在非利士人手里。”
20 And anoon Saul felde stretchid forth to erthe; for he dredde the wordis of Samuel, and strengthe was not in hym, for he hadde not ete breed in al that dai and al nyyt.
扫罗猛然仆倒，挺身在地，因撒母耳的话甚是惧怕；那一昼一夜，没有吃什么，就毫无气力。
21 Therfor thilke womman entride to Saul, and seide; for he was disturblid greetli; and sche seide to hym, Lo! thin handmayde obeiede to thi vois, and Y haue put my lijf in myn hond, and Y herde thi wordis, whiche thou spakist to me.
妇人到扫罗面前，见他极其惊恐，对他说：“婢女听从你的话，不顾惜自己的性命，遵从你所吩咐的。
22 Now therfor and thou here the vois of thin handmaide, and Y schal sette a mussel of breed bifor thee, and that thou etynge wexe strong, and maist do the iourney.
现在求你听婢女的话，容我在你面前摆上一点食物，你吃了，可以有气力行路。”
23 And he forsook, and seide, Y schal not ete. Sothely hise seruauntis and the womman compelliden hym; and at the laste, whanne the vois of hem was herd, he roos fro the erthe, and sat on the bed.
扫罗不肯，说：“我不吃。”但他的仆人和妇人再三劝他，他才听了他们的话，从地上起来，坐在床上。
24 Sotheli thilke womman hadde a fat calf in the hows, and `sche hastide, and killide hym; and sche took mele, and meddlide it, and made therf breed;
妇人急忙将家里的一只肥牛犊宰了，又拿面抟成无酵饼烤了，
25 and settide bifor Saul and bifor hise seruauntis, and whanne thei hadden ete, thei risiden, and walkiden bi al that nyyt.
摆在扫罗和他仆人面前。他们吃完，当夜就起身走了。
