I Samuela 28
1 A IA mau la, hoakoakoa ae la na Pilisetia i ko lakou poe koa, no ke kaua e kaua aku ai i ka Iseraela. I aku la o Akisa ia Davida, E ike pono oe, o oe kekahi e hele pu me au i ke kaua, o oe a me kou poe kanaka.
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 I mai la o Davida ia Akisa, E ike pono auanei oe i ka mea a kau kauwa e hana aku ai. I aku la o Akisa ia Davida, No ia mea, e hoolilo au ia oe i mea malama i kuu poo i na la a pau.
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 A ua make o Samuela, a ua kanikau o ka Iseraela a pau ia ia, a ua kanu lakou ia ia ma Rama, ma kona kulanakauhale iho. A ua hookuke aku o Saula i na ninau uhane, a me na kupua mai ka aina aku.
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 Hoakoakoaia ae la ko Pilisetia, a hele mai, a hoomoana ma Sunema; a hoakoakoa ae la o Saula i ka Iseraela a pau, a hoomoana iho la ma Gileboa.
The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
5 A ike aku la o Saula i ka poe kaua o na Pilisetia, makau iho la ia, a haalulu nui kona naau.
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
6 A ia Saula i ninau ai ia Iehova, aole o Iehova i olelo mai ia ia, aole ma na moe uhane, aole ma ka Urima, aole ma na kaula.
He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
7 Alaila olelo aku la o Saula i kana poe kauwa, E imi oukou no'u i wahine ninau uhane, i hele aku ai au e ninau ia ia. I mai la kana mau kauwa ia ia, Aia no ka wahine ninau i na uhane ma Enedora.
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 Hoano e o Saula ia ia iho a hookomo i ka lole e, a hele aku me na kanaka elua me ia, a hiki lakou i ka wahine i ka po: i aku la ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoakaka mai oe ia'u ma ka ninau uhane, a e hoala mai no'u i ka mea a'u e hoohiki aku ai ia oe.
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 I mai la ka wahine ia ia, Aia hoi, ua ike no oe i ka mea a Saula i hana'i i kona luku ana i na mea ninau uhane, a me na kupua mai ka aina aku; no ke aha la oe i punihei mai ai i kuu ola, i lilo ai au i ka make?
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 A hoohiki aku la o Saula ia ia ma Iehova, i aku la, Ma ke ola o Iehova, aole e hiki mai ia oe ke ahewaia no keia mea.
Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
11 Alaila i aku la ka wahine, Owai la ka'u e hoala mai ai nou? I mai la ia, O Samuela kau e hoala mai ai no'u.
“Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 A ike aku la ka wahine ia Samuela, hooho aku la ia me ka leo nui: olelo aku la ka wahine ia Saula, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u? no ka mea, o Saula ka oe.
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 I aku la ke alii ia ia, Mai makau oe: heaha la kau i ike ai? I mai la ka wahine ia Saula, He mea me he akua la ka'u i ike ai e pii mai ana mai ka honua mai.
“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 Ninau aku la oia ia ia, Pehea kona ano? I mai la ia, He kanaka elemakule e pii mai ana; a ua uhiia i ka aahu. A ike iho la o Saula, o Samuela no ia, kulou iho la kona maka i ka honua, a moe iho la.
“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 Olelo mai la o Samuela ia Saula, No ke aha la oe i hoonaue mai ai ia'u, i ka hoala mai ia'u? I aku la o Saula, Ua pilikia loa wau: no ka mea, ke kaua mai nei na Pilisetia ia'u, a ua haalele mai ke Akua ia'u, aole e olelo hou mai ia'u, aole ma ka lima o na kaula, aole ma na moe uhane: no ia mea, i kahea aku ai au ia oe, i hoike mai ai oe ia'u i ka mea a'u e hana aku ai.
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 Olelo aku la o Samuela, No ke aha la oe i ninau mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ua haalele o Iehova ia oe, a ua lilo ia i enemi nou?
“Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
17 A ua hana o Iehova nona iho, e like me ka mea i oleloia e au, a ua kaili aku o Iehova i ke aupuni mai ou aku la, a haawi aku ia mea i kou hoalauna ia Davida;
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 No kou hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova, aole hoi oe i hoopai aku i kona inaina nui maluna o ka Ameleka, no ia mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i keia mea ia oe i keia la.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
19 A e hoolilo hoi o Iehova i ka Iseraela me oe iloko a ka lima o na Pilisetia: a o oe pu me kau mau keiki me au i ka la apopo: a e hoolilo hoi o Iehova i ka poe koa o ka Iseraela iloko o ka lima o ko Pilisetia.
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 Alaila hina koke iho la o Saula, a moe i ka loa ma ka honua, a makau loa iho la, no na olelo a Samuela: aohe ikaika iloko ona; no ka mea, aole ia i ai i ka berena ia, la a po, ia po a ao.
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 A hele mai la ka wahine ia Saula, a ike aku la, ua pilikia loa ia, i aku la oia ia ia, Aia hoi, ua hoolohe kau kauwawahine i kou leo, a ua waiho au i kuu ola iloko o kuu lima, a ua hoolohe aku au i kau mau olelo au i olelo mai ai ia'u:
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 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe mai oe i ka leo o kau kauwawahine, a e waiho aku au i wahi berena imua ou; a e ai iho oe, i ikaika ai oe i kou hele ana ma kou alanui.
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 Hoole mai la ia, i mai la, Aole au e ai. Koi aku la kana mau kauwa me ka wahine ia ia: a hoolohe mai ia i ko lakou leo. Ala mai la ia mai ka honua mai, a noho iho la maluna o kahi moe.
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 Aia no i ka wahine kekahi bipikeiki momona ma kona hale; pepehi koke iho la ia ia, a lawe ae la ia i ka palaoa, a kawili iho la, a pulehu aku la i ka berena hu ole:
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 A lawe mai ia mea imua o Saula, a imua o kana mau kauwa, a ai iho la lakou. Ku ae la lakou a hele aku la ia po.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
