1 Samuel 28
1 And it cometh to pass in those days, that the Philistines gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and Achish saith unto David, 'Thou dost certainly know that with me thou dost go out into the camp, thou and thy men.'
Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio Afilisti makĩũngania mbũtũ ciao makarũe na Isiraeli. Akishi akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũmenye atĩ wee na andũ aku nĩmũgatwarana na niĩ ita-inĩ.”
2 And David saith unto Achish, 'Therefore — thou dost know that which thy servant dost do.' And Achish saith unto David, 'Therefore — keeper of my head I do appoint thee all the days.'
Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ũrĩĩonera ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩngĩhota gwĩka.” Akishi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega, na niĩ nĩngũgũtua mũnangĩri wa hĩndĩ ciothe.”
3 And Samuel hath died, and all Israel mourn for him, and bury him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul hath turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samũeli nĩakuĩte, na Isiraeli othe makamũcakaĩra na makamũthika itũũra-inĩ rĩake rĩa Rama. Saũlũ, nake nĩaingatĩte ago na aragũri makoima bũrũri ũcio.
4 And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathereth all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
Afilisti makĩũngana na magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao kũu Shunemu, nake Saũlũ agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe na akĩamba hema kũu Giliboa.
5 and Saul seeth the camp of the Philistines, and feareth, and his heart trembleth greatly,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Saũlũ, onire mbũtũ ya ita ya Afilisti, agĩĩtigĩra; ngoro yake ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya.
6 and Saul asketh at Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not answered him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
Nake agĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no Jehova ndaigana kũmũcookeria na irooto kana Urimu, o na kana anabii.
7 And Saul saith to his servants, 'Seek for me a woman possessing a familiar spirit, and I go unto her, and inquire of her;' and his servants say unto him, 'Lo, a woman possessing a familiar spirit in En-dor.'
Saũlũ agĩcooka akĩĩra ndungata ciake atĩrĩ, “Njarĩriai mũndũ-wa-nja mũragũri, nĩguo thiĩ ngatuĩrie ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we.” Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũragũri ũmwe kũu Eni-Dori.”
8 And Saul disguiseth himself and putteth on other garments, and goeth, he and two of the men with him, and they come in unto the woman by night, and he saith, 'Divine, I pray thee, to me by the familiar spirit, and cause to come up to me him whom I say unto thee.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ agĩkĩĩgarũra nĩguo ndakamenyeke, akĩĩhumba nguo ingĩ, na we na andũ eerĩ magĩthiĩ ũtukũ kũrĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũrĩra na roho, na ũndehere mũndũ ũrĩa ngũgweta.”
9 And the woman saith unto him, 'Lo, thou hast known that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why art thou laying a snare for my soul — to put me to death?'
No mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Saũlũ ekĩte, nĩaniinĩte ago na aragũri kuuma bũrũri ũyũ. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wambĩre muoyo wakwa mũtego ũndehere gĩkuũ gĩakwa?”
10 And Saul sweareth to her by Jehovah, saying, 'Jehovah liveth, punishment doth not meet thee for this thing.'
Saũlũ akĩĩhĩta harĩ we na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, ndũkũherithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũyũ.”
11 And the woman saith, 'Whom do I bring up to thee?' and he saith, 'Samuel — bring up to me.'
Ningĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ngũkũrehithĩria?” Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehe Samũeli.”
12 And the woman seeth Samuel, and crieth with a loud voice, and the woman speaketh unto Saul, saying, 'Why hast thou deceived me — and thou Saul?'
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio onire Samũeli, agĩkayũrũrũka na mũgambo mũnene, akĩĩra Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Waheenia nĩkĩ? Wee nĩwe Saũlũ!”
13 And the king saith to her, 'Do not fear; for what hast thou seen?' and the woman saith unto Saul, 'Gods I have seen coming up out of the earth.'
Mũthamaki nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga gwĩtigĩra. Nĩ kĩĩ ũroona?” Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona roho uumĩte na thĩ.”
14 And he saith to her, 'What [is] his form?' and she saith, 'An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an upper robe;' and Saul knoweth that he [is] Samuel, and boweth — face to thee earth — and doth obeisance.
Akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ahaana atĩa?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ ũraambata ehumbĩte nguo ndaaya.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩmenya atĩ ũcio aarĩ Samũeli, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩkoma na nda, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
15 And Samuel saith unto Saul, 'Why hast thou troubled me, to bring me up?' And Saul saith, 'I have great distress, and the Philistines are fighting against me, God hath turned aside from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for thee to let me know what I do.'
Samũeli akĩũria Saũlũ atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũũthĩĩnie, ũkandehithia gũkũ?” Saũlũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ mũnyamarĩku mũno. Afilisti nĩmararũa na niĩ, na Ngai nĩanjehereire, akaaga kũnjookeria ũhoro na njĩra ya anabii, kana ya irooto. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndagwĩta ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa ngwĩka.”
16 And Samuel saith, 'And why dost thou ask me, and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee, and is thine enemy?
Samũeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũgũkĩnjũũria nĩkĩ, kuona atĩ rĩu Jehova nĩakwehereire na agatuĩka thũ yaku?
17 And Jehovah doth for Himself as He hath spoken by my hand, and Jehovah rendeth the kingdom out of thy hand, and giveth it to thy neighbour — to David.
Jehova nĩekĩte o ta ũrĩa oigire na kanua gakwa. Jehova nĩagũtunyĩte ũthamaki uume moko-inĩ maku, na akaũnengera mũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku, nĩwe Daudi.
18 Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, nor didst the fierceness of His anger on Amalek — therefore this thing hath Jehovah done to thee this day;
Nĩ ũndũ wee ndwathĩkĩire Jehova, kana ũgĩkinyĩria Amaleki mangʼũrĩ make mahiũ, nĩkĩo Jehova agwĩkĩte ũguo ũmũthĩ.
19 yea, Jehovah giveth also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow thou and thy sons [are] with me; also the camp of Israel doth Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines.'
Jehova nĩegũkũneana, wee hamwe na Isiraeli, kũrĩ Afilisti, na rũciũ wee na ariũ aku mũgaakorwo mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ. Jehova nĩagacooka aneane mbũtũ cia ita cia Isiraeli kũrĩ Afilisti.”
20 And Saul hasteth and falleth — the fulness of his stature — to the earth, and feareth greatly because of the words of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day, and all the night.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ akĩgũa, agĩĩtambũrũkia thĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ guoya nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio wa Samũeli. Hinya wake ũgĩthira, tondũ ndaarĩĩte kĩndũ mũthenya ũcio wothe o na ũtukũ.
21 And the woman cometh in unto Saul, and seeth that he hath been greatly troubled, and saith unto him, 'Lo, thy maid-servant hath hearkened to thy voice, and I put my soul in my hand, and I obey thy words which thou hast spoken unto me;
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio okire kũrĩ Saũlũ na akĩona ũrĩa aamakĩte, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja nĩĩgwathĩkĩire. Ndatwarĩrĩria muoyo wakwa ũgwati-inĩ, ndeeka ũrĩa ũnjĩĩrire njĩke.
22 and now, hearken, I pray thee, also thou, to the voice of thy maid-servant, and I set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and there is in thee power when thou goest in the way.'
Rĩu ndagũthaitha, thikĩrĩria ndungata yaku, ũreke ngũhe tũirio nĩguo ũrĩe ũgĩe na hinya ũhote gũthiĩ rũgendo.”
23 And he refuseth, and saith, 'I do not eat;' and his servants urge on him, and also the woman, and he hearkeneth to their voice, and riseth from the earth, and sitteth on the bed.
Nake akĩrega, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndikũrĩa.” No andũ ake makĩnyiitanĩra hamwe na mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, makĩmũringĩrĩria, nake akĩmaigua. Agĩũkĩra hau thĩ agĩikarĩra ũrĩrĩ.
24 And the woman hath a calf of the stall in the house, and she hasteth and slaughtereth it, and taketh flour, and kneadeth, and baketh it unleavened things,
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩ aarĩ na njaũ noru kũu nyũmba, ĩrĩa aathĩnjire o narua. Akĩoya mũtu, akĩũkanda na akĩruga mĩgate ĩtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia.
25 and bringeth nigh before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on, during that night.
Agĩcooka agĩtwarĩra Saũlũ na andũ ake, nao makĩrĩa. Na ũtukũ o ro ũcio magĩũkĩra magĩthiĩ.
