1 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Filistitɔwo ƒo ƒu woƒe aʋakɔwo be woawɔ aʋa kple Israel. Akis gblɔ na David be, “Nyae be wò kple wò ameawo miakplɔm ɖo anɔ nye aʋakɔwo dome.”
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.
2 David ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ekema wò ŋutɔ àkpɔe na ɖokuiwò, nu si wò dɔla ate ŋu awɔ.” Akis ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo matsɔ wò awɔ ŋunyedzɔlae hena wò agbemeŋkekewo katã.”
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.
3 Azɔ la, Samuel ku eye Israel dukɔ blibo la fae, woɖii ɖe wo de le Rama. Fia Saul ɖe ŋɔliyɔlawo kple afakalawo katã ɖa le Israelnyigba la dzi.
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.
4 Filistitɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sunem, ke Saul ƒo Israel blibo la nu ƒu eye woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Gilead.
And Filisteis weren gaderid, and camen, and settiden tentis in Sunam; sotheli and Saul gaderide al Israel, and cam in to Gelboe.
5 Esi Saul kpɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ la, dzidzi ƒoe eye wòvɔ̃ ŋutɔ.
And Saul siy the castels of Filisteis, and he dredde, and his herte dredde greetli.
6 Ebia nu si wòawɔ la Yehowa, ke Yehowa meɖo nya aɖeke ŋu nɛ to drɔ̃ekuku me, alo to Urim dzi loo alo to nyagblɔɖilawo dzi o.
And he counselide the Lord; and the Lord answeride not to hym, nether bi preestis, nether bi dremes, nether bi profetis.
7 Ale Saul gblɔ na eƒe subɔlawo be, “Midi nyɔnu aɖe si nye ŋɔliyɔla la nam, ale be mayi egbɔ aɖabia nu.” Dɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ŋɔliyɔla aɖe le Endor.”
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.
8 Ale Saul trɔ eƒe nɔnɔme hedo awu dzodzro aɖe le eƒe fiawu teƒe. Eyi ɖe ŋɔliyɔla la ƒe aƒe me le zã me kple eƒe subɔla eve. Saul gblɔ na ŋɔliyɔla la be, “Bia gbe gbɔgbɔ aɖe nam eye nàyɔ ame si ŋkɔ mayɔ na wò la nam.”
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.
9 Gake nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Le nyateƒe me ènya nu si Saul wɔ. Eɖe afakalawo kple ŋɔliyɔlawo ɖa le anyigba la dzi. Nu ka ŋutie nètre mɔ na nye agbe be yeahe ku vɛ nam?”
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?
10 Saul tsɔ Yehowa ka atam nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe be womahe to na wò ɖe nu sia ta o.”
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.
11 Nyɔnu la biae be, “Ame kae nèdi be mayɔ na ye?” Saul do eŋu be, “Yɔ Samuel nam.”
And the womman seide to hym, Whom schal Y reise to thee? And he seide, Reise thou Samuel to me.
12 Esi nyɔnu la kpɔ Samuel la, edo ɣli sesĩe eye wògblɔ na Saul be, “Nu ka ŋutie nèblem ɖo? Wòe nye Saul!”
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.
13 Fia Saul gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègana dzidzi naƒo wò o! Nu ka nèkpɔ?” Ŋɔliyɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Mekpɔ gbɔgbɔ aɖe wòle dodom tso tome gbɔna.”
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.
14 Saul bia be, “Aleke eƒe dzedzeme le?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ame si gbɔna la nye amegãɖeɖi si do awu ʋlaya.” Tete Saul dze sii be Samuel ye eye wodze klo tsyɔ mo anyi.
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.
15 Samuel bia Saul be, “Nu ka ta nèɖe fu nam heyɔm vɛ?” Saul ɖo eŋu be, “Elabena meɖo xaxa gã aɖe me. Filistitɔwo gaho aʋa ɖe mía ŋu, ke Mawu gblẽm ɖi eye meɖo nya aɖeke ŋu to nyagblɔɖilawo dzi loo alo to drɔ̃ekuku me o. Eya ta meva yɔ wò be nàgblɔ nu si mawɔ la nam.”
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.
16 Samuel ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka ta nàbiam esi Yehowa gblẽ wò ɖi eye wòzu wò futɔ?
And Samuel seide, What axist thou me, whanne God hath go awei fro thee, and passide to thin enemy?
17 Yehowa wɔ nya si wògblɔ ɖi to dzinye la dzi. Yehowa vuvu fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò me eye wòtsɔe na hawòviwo dometɔ ɖeka, David.
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;
18 Esiawo katã va dziwò elabena mèwɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi esi wòdo dɔmedzoe kaɖikaɖi ɖe Amalekitɔwo ŋu o.
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;
19 Yehowa atsɔ wò kple Israel blibo la ade asi na Filistitɔwo eye etsɔ la wò kple viwò ŋutsuwo miava nɔ gbɔnye le afii. Yehowa atsɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la hã ade asi na Filistitɔwo.”
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.
20 Saul mlɔ anyigba hedra ɖe anyigba azɔ, ʋaʋã meganɔ eŋu o, le Samuel ƒe nyawo ta. Dɔwuame hã na ŋusẽ vɔ le eŋu elabena meɖu naneke ŋkeke blibo la o.
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.
21 Esi ŋɔliyɔla la kpɔ ale si vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe la egblɔ be, “Amegã, metsɔ nye agbe ke eye mewɔ wò ɖoɖo dzi.
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.
22 Azɔ la, nu si magblɔe nye be nàna mana nane wò nàɖu, ale be ŋusẽ naɖo ŋuwò hena wò mɔzɔzɔ yi wò nɔƒe.”
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.
23 Ke Saul be, “Nyemaɖu o.” Eŋumewo ɖe kuku nɛ kpe ɖe ŋɔliyɔla la ŋu va se ɖe esime wòlɔ̃. Efɔ azɔ eye wònɔ abati dzi.
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.
24 Nyivi dami aɖe nɔ nyɔnu la si, eɖe abla wui, tsɔ amɔ maʋamaʋã wɔ abolo
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;
25 eye wòtsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ na fia la kple eŋumewo woɖu eye wodzo le zã la me.
and settide bifor Saul and bifor hise seruauntis, and whanne thei hadden ete, thei risiden, and walkiden bi al that nyyt.
