1 Samyèl 28
1 Kèk tan apre sa, moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo pou y' al goumen ak pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, Akich di David: -Ou tou konnen se pou ou pati ansanm avè m' ak mesye ou yo pou n' al goumen.
Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
2 David reponn li: -Se moun ou mwen ye. Ou pral wè sa m' ka fè. Akich di li: -Bon! Apre sa, m'ap fè ou gad kò mwen pou tout tan.
David replied, “Then you will come to know what your servant can do.” “Very well,” said Achish. “I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
3 Samyèl te deja mouri lè sa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la te kriye kont kriye yo pou li. Apre sa, yo antere l' lavil Rama kote li te moun. Sayil te mete tout divinò deyò nan peyi a ansanm ak tout moun ki konn rele mò pou pale ak yo.
Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
4 Sòlda moun Filisti yo te sanble, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Chounèm. Sayil menm sanble tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, epi li moute kan l' sou mòn Gilboa.
The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
5 Lè Sayil wè lame moun Filisti yo, li soti pè, kè l' pran bat byen fò.
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
6 Se konsa, li mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Men, Seyè a pa ba li ankenn repons, ni nan rèv, ni avèk ourim yo, ni nan mesaj pwofèt yo.
He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
7 Lè sa a, Sayil rele moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo, li ba yo lòd sa a: -Al chache kote nou ka jwenn yon fanm ki konn rele mò pou l' travay pou mwen. Yo reponn li: -Gen yonn lavil Andò.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” “There is a medium at Endor,” his servants replied.
8 Sayil mete lòt kalite rad sou li, li maske. Li leve, li pati ak de moun pa l'. Yo rive kay fanm lan nan mitan lannwit. Sayil di fanm lan: -M' pral ba ou non yon mò pou ou rele pou mwen. Rele li pou mwen tanpri, pou m' konnen sa ki pral rive m'.
So Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and he set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I name.”
9 Men, fanm lan di l': -Ou konnen sa wa Sayil te fè a pa vre? Li te mete tout divinò ak tout moun k'ap pale ak mò deyò nan peyi a wi. Poukisa atò w'ap seye pran m' nan plan pou fè yo touye m'?
But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a trap to get me killed?”
10 Sayil pran non Bondye fè sèman, li di: -Devan Seyè ki vivan an, mwen fè sèman yo p'ap fè ou anyen pou zafè sa a.
Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
11 Fanm lan di l': -Ki moun pou m' rele pou ou? Li reponn: -Rele Samyèl pou mwen.
“Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 Lè madanm lan wè Samyèl, li pete rele, li di Sayil: -Poukisa ou twonpe m' konsa? Ou se wa Sayil!
But when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”
13 Wa a di l': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Kisa ou wè? Fanm lan di Sayil: -Mwen wè yon lespri k'ap moute soti anba tè a.
“Do not be afraid,” the king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered.
14 Wa a di l': -Kisa ou wè li sanble? Fanm lan reponn: -Se yon vye granmoun gason k'ap moute la a. Li vlope nan yon gwo dra. Lè sa a, Sayil vin konnen se te Samyèl. Li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
“What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “And he is wearing a robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
15 Samyèl di Sayil: -Poukisa ou detounen m' konsa? Poukisa ou fè m' remoute la a en? Sayil di li: -Mwen nan gwo tèt chaje: Moun Filisti yo ap fè m' lagè. Epi Bondye vire do ban mwen. Li pa pale avè m' ankò, ni nan rèv, ni nan mesaj pwofèt yo. Se poutèt sa, mwen fè rele ou pou ou ka fè m' konnen sa pou m' fè.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Samyèl di l': -Koulye a Seyè a vire do ba ou, li tounen lènmi ou, poukisa se mwen menm w'ap mande bagay konsa?
“Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
17 Seyè a annik fè sa li te di m' di ou la: li wete gouvènman an nan men ou, li bay David li pito.
He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
18 Ou pa t' koute sa Seyè a te di ou, ou pa t' detwi moun Amalèk yo nèt ansanm ak tou sa yo te genyen. Se poutèt sa Seyè a fè ou sa li fè ou jòdi a.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
19 Li pral lage ou ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la nan men moun Filisti yo. Denmen lè konsa, ni ou menm ni pitit gason ou yo ap menm kote avè m'. Seyè a pral lage lame pèp Izrayèl la nan men moun Filisti yo.
Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Tande Sayil tande sa, li tonbe tou long atè, li te pè akòz pawòl Samyèl te di l' la a. Li te fèb anpil tou, paske li pa t' manje anyen depi maten.
Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Fanm lan al jwenn Sayil atè a, li wè jan Sayil t'ap tranble tèlman li te pè. Li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, mèt, tande sa m'ap di ou: Mwen te mete lavi m' an danje pou m' te fè sa ou te mande m' fè a.
When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
22 Koulye a, tanpri, tande sa m'ap di ou. Ou pral fè sa m'a pral di ou la a: Kite m' al pare yon ti manje pou ou. W'a manje, w'a pran fòs ankò pou ou ka al fè wout ou.
Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 Sayil refize, li di li p'ap manje anyen. Men mesye ki te avè l' yo ansanm ak fanm lan pale avè l', yo fè l' tande rezon. Bout pou bout, li dakò, li leve sot atè a, li chita sou kabann lan.
Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Fanm lan te gen yon ti bèf li t'ap angrese lakay li. Li prese touye l'. Apre sa, li pran farin, li fè pat avè l', li kwit kèk ti pen san ledven.
The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
25 Li pote tout bagay sa yo devan Sayil ak mesye l' yo. Yo manje. Lèfini, lannwit lan menm yo leve, yo pati.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
