1 Samue 28
1 Hagi ana knafina Filistia vahe'mo'za Israeli vahe ha' ome huzamante'naku sondia vahe zamia zamavare atru hu'naze. Hagi Akisi'a Devitina asamino, Kagrane sondia vahekanena nagrane magoka vuta hara ome hugahane.
Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
2 Hagi Deviti'a kenona huno, E'ina'ma hanunka henka eri'za vahekamo'na eri'zana kenka antahinka hugahane. Anage higeno Akisi'a huno, Nagrani'a navufare kva vahe kavrane'na maka kna nagri kegava hunantegahane.
David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
3 Hagi Samueli'a frige'za miko Israeli vahe'mo'za zavi krafa hute'za, Rama agri kumate ome asente'naze. Hagi ana knafina Soli'a fri vahe hankro'enema nanekema nehaza vahe'ene zamavune vahe'enena zamahenatitrege'za anampina omani'naze.
[While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
4 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za eza Sunemu seli nonkumara eme ki'za manizage'za, Soli'ene mika sondia vahe'amo'za Gilboa seli nonkumara eme ki'za mani'naze.
The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
5 Hagi Soli'ma Filistia sondia vahe'ma nezmageno'a tusi koro nehuno ahirahiku hu'ne.
When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
6 Ana nehuno Soli'a Ra Anumzamofo antahige'neanagi Ra Anumzamo'a magore huno ava'nafino, urimi zokago'ma rezagafino, kasnampa vahepina huvazino osamitfa hu'ne.
He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
7 Higeno Soli'a eri'za vahe'aramina huzamanteno, Vuta fri vahe'enema keaga nehania a' ome avreta enke'na, nagra antahige'na ka'neno. Hige'za zamagra kenona anage hu'naze, Magora e'inahu'zama nehia ara Endor kumate mani'ne.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
8 Hagi Soli'a agri'ma keama'ma osania kazigati kini kukena'a hunetreno, amane kukena eri nentanino, tare netrene kenage vu'naze. Hagi Soli'a ana ara antahigeno, Avamura antahigesankeno kenonani'a huno nagrama antahigesua vahera avrenamigahio?
So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
9 Hianagi ana a'mo'a Solina asamino, Kini ne' Soli'ma fri vahe hankro'enema nanekema nehaza vahe'ene zamavune vahe'enena zamahenatitre'neana kagra ko antahi'nane. Hagi kagra havige hunka nahe frinogu renavataga nehane.
But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
10 Higeno anage huno Soli'a asami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo agifi huvempage huankino ama anazama hanantera mago'mo'a onkahegahie.
Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
11 Higeno ana a'mo'a antahigeno, Izanku kea hanugeno otino esiegu nehane, higeno Soli'a kenona huno Samueline.
Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
12 Anage higeno ana a'mo'a Samuelima negeno'a ranke huno, Kagra Soliga mani'nananki nahigenka kagra renavataga nehane?
[So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
13 Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, Korera osunka na'a negane? Huno antahigegeno ana a'mo'a huno, nagra negogeno mago hankro mopafintira atineramige'na negoe.
Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
14 Higeno Soli'a antahigeno, Agra inankna nere? Higeno ana a'mo'a huno, Mago ranafa za'za kukena hu'nea ne' negoe. Anagema higeno'a Soli'a keno antahino'ma hiana Samueli'e nehuno, mopafi renareno ra agi Samuelina ami'ne.
Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
15 Hagi Samueli'a Solina anage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka matipintira nazeri otinkena neoe? Higeno Soli'a kenona huno, Filistia vahe'mo'za ha' hunante'za nehazageno, Anumzamo'a amagena hunamino, ava'nafine kasnampa vahepina huvazino kenona huonamige'na, kagrira ke hanena nagrama ome hanua zana nasamisane hu'na nagra e'noe.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
16 Higeno Samueli'a kenona huno, Hago Ra Anumzamo'a amagena hugamino kagri ha' vahe mani'neanki, na'a higenka nagrira nantahinegane?
Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
17 Hagi nagri'ma nasamige'na kasnampa kema hu'noa kante anteno, Ra Anumzamo'a kagri kazampintira kini trara hanareno tava'onkare'ma nemanimofo Deviti ami'ne.
He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
18 Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamo'ma Ameleki vahe'ma tusi rimpa ahezmanteno, zamahe frio huno'ma hiana kagra ke'amofona rutagrenka anara osankeno, amanahu'zana menina hugante.
You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
19 Hagi kagri'ene Israeli vahe'enena Ra Anumzmo'a oki'na Filistia vahe zamazampi tamavrentegahie. E'ina hanigeno oki'na kagrane kamohe'zanena nagrane emanigahaze. Hagi tamage huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli Sondia vahetamina Filistia vahe zamazampi zamavarentegahie.
Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
20 Hagi Samueli'ma asamia kea Soli'a nentahino tusi kore nehuno, avugosaregati mopafi masegeno hanave'a omane amane hu'ne. Na'ankure agra feru'ene kenage enena ne'zana one'ne.
Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Hagi ana a'mo'ma ome keana, Soli'ma tusi'a kore huno amanogu'ma nehigeno'a amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra kagri eri'za akamo'na kagrama hana eri'za nagra navufagura nagesa ontahi'na, hago ana eri'zana eri'noe.
The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
22 Hagi menina muse hugantoanki eri'za akamo'na ke antahinaminka natrege'na, osi'a bretika'a reraro hanena nenka hanavea eritenka kana vuo.
So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
23 Hianagi Soli'a onegahue huno hu'ne. Hianagi eri'za vahetamima'amo'ene ana a'mo'enena tutu huntazageno, kezmia antahino mopafima mase'nefintira otino tafete mani'ne.
But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Hagi ana a'mo'a afovage bulimakao anenta ome aheno kreno noma'afi eme nenteno, ame huno zisti onte bretia krente'ne.
The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
25 Hagi ana a'mo'a ana ne'zana erino Soline eri'za vahe'anena eme zamige'za nete'za, oti'za ana kenageke ete vu'naze.
She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
