Sie Samuel 28
1 In kutu pacl tok, mwet Philistia elos toeni in mweun lain mwet Israel, ac Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sel David, “Kom kalem kac lah kom ac mwet lom ingan ac fah wiyu lac ke mweun luk?”
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 el topuk, “Aok, nga kalem kac. Nga mwet kulansap lom, ac kom ac fah sifacna liye ma nga ku in oru.” Na Achish el fahk, “Wona! Nga ac fah oru tuh kom in mwet se ma tu siskuk in pacl e nukewa nwe tok.”
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 In pacl se inge Samuel el misa tari, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos arulana asor kacl, ac elos piknilya in acn sel in Ramah. Saul el lusak mwet inutnut ac mwet susfa nukewa liki acn Israel.
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 Mwet mweun Philistia elos toeni ac tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos apkuran nu siti se pangpang Shunem. Ac Saul el eisani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos Fineol Gilboa.
The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
5 Ke Saul el liye un mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia, el arulana sangeng,
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
6 ac el siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea el ac oru. Tuh LEUM GOD El tiana topkol, finne ke mweme, ku ke eot Urim ac Thummim, ku ke pusren mwet palu.
He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
7 Na Saul el sapkin nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Sokak sie mutan inutnut, ac nga fah som nu yorol ac siyuk kasreyuk sel.” Na elos topuk ac fahk, “Oasr sie mwet inutnut in acn Endor.”
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 Na Saul el sifacna ekulla lumahl. El nokomang siena kain nuknuk, ac ke lohsrani tari, el us luo pac mukul in welul som nu yurin mutan inutnut sac. El fahk nu sin mutan sac, “Sramsram nu sin ngunin mwet misa keik, ac fahk nu sik lah mea ac sikyak. Pangonma ngunin mwet se su nga ac fahk inel nu sum.”
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 Ac mutan sac topuk, “Nga mu kom arulana etu ma Tokosra Saul el oru ke el lusak mwet inutnut ac mwet susfa liki Israel. Na efu kom ku srifeyu, pwanang ac ku in anwuki nga?”
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 Na Saul el orala sie wulela na ku ac fahk, “Inen LEUM GOD moul, nga wulela nu sum lah kom ac fah tia kaiyuk ke kom ac oru ma se inge.”
Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
11 Na mutan sac siyuk sel Saul, “Su kom lungse ngan pangonak nguna uh?” Ac Saul el fahk, “Samuel.”
“Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 Ke mutan sac liyalak Samuel, el wowoyak ke pusra lulap ac fahk nu sel Saul, “Efu ku kom kiapweyula? Kom pa Tokosra Saul!”
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 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nikmet sangeng! Mea kom liye?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Nga liye sie ngun utyak liki infohk uh.”
“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 Ac Saul el siyuk, “Fuka luman ngun sacn?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Mukul matu se pa utyak, ac el nukum sie nuknuk loeloes.” Na Saul el etu lah Samuel pa mwet sac, ac Saul el faksufi in akfulatyal.
“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 Na Samuel el fahk nu sel Saul, “Efu kom tukasru nu sik ac oru nga foloko?” Na Saul el topuk ac fahk, “Nga arulana fosrnga! Mwet Philistia elos mweuniyu, ac God El ngetla likiyu. El tia sifil topukyu, finne ke pusren mwet palu ku ke mweme. Na pa nga pangon kom tuh kom in fahk nu sik lah mea nga enenu in oru.”
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 Ac Samuel el fahk, “Efu ku kom pangonyu, ke LEUM GOD El ngetla liki kom ac ekla mwet lokoalok lom?
“Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
17 LEUM GOD El oru nu sum oana ma El tuh sap ngan fahk nu sum ah. El eisla tokosrai uh liki kom, ac sang nu sel David.
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 Kom tuh seakos ma God El sapkin nu sum ke El mu kom in kunausla mwet Amalek nukewa ac ma lalos nukewa. Pa inge sripa se sis LEUM GOD El oru ouinge nu sum.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
19 El ac fah eiskomyang ac mwet Israel nu inpoun mwet Philistia. Lutu, kom ac wen nutum ac fah wiyuyang, ac LEUM GOD El ac fah asang mwet mweun lun Israel nu inpoun mwet Philistia.”
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 In kitin pacl ah na, Saul el putati asrosrelik fin fohk uh, ke sripen el arulana sangeng ke ma Samuel el fahk ah. El munasla ke sripen el tiana mongo ke len fon sac ac fong fon sac.
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 Na mutan sac kalukyang nu yorol ac liye lah el arulana sangeng, ac el fahk nu sel Saul, “Leum luk, nga pilesrala moul luk ke nga oru ma kom siyuk ah.
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 Inge, nga siyuk kom in porongeyu. Lela nga in orala kutu mwe mongo nom. Kom enenu in mongo tuh in kui monum, na kom fah ku in som inkanek lom.”
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 Saul el tia lungse. El fahk mu el ac tiana mongo. Mwet pwapa lal elos kwafel tuh elan eis kutu mwe mongo. Tok kutu, na el tari wi na ma elos fahk. El tukakek liki infohk uh ac muta fin bed se.
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 Ac mutan sac sulaklak na uniya cow fusr soko ma el muta kite in fatelik, ac el use flao ac manman bread wangin mwe pulol kac.
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 Mutan sac takunla mwe mongo inge ye mutal Saul ac mwet pwapa lal, ac elos mongoi. Na elos som liki acn sac in fong sacna.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
