1 Samoela 28
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina dia namory ny miaramilany hanafika ny Isiraely. Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ i Davida: Aoka ho fantatrao tsara fa hiara-mivoaka amiko hanafika ianao sy ny olonao.
It came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for battle to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know for certain that you will go out with me in the host, you and your men.”
2 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Akisy: Amin’ izao dia ho fantatrao tokoa izay hain’ ny mpanomponao hatao. Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ i Davida: Noho izany dia hataoko mpiaro ny lohako mandrakizay ianao.
David said to Achish, “So you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “So I will make you my bodyguard all your days.”
3 (Ary efa maty Samoela, ka ny Isiraely rehetra efa nisaona azy sy nandevina azy tao Rama, dia tao an-tanànany. Ary efa noroahin’ i Saoly hiala amin’ ny tany izay nanao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana.)
Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. Also, Saul had banned from the land those who talked with the dead or with spirits.
4 Ary ny Filistina nivory, dia tonga ka nitoby tao Sonema; fa Saoly namory ny Isiraely rehetra, ka nitoby tao Gilboa kosa ireo.
Then the Philistines gathered themselves together and came and camped at Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped at Gilboa.
5 Ary Saoly, raha nahita ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina, dia raiki-tahotra sady niemponempona ny fony.
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled very much.
6 Ary Saoly dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah, fa Jehovah tsy namaly azy, na tamin’ ny nofy, na tamin’ ny Orima, na tamin’ ny mpaminany.
Saul prayed to Yahweh for help, but Yahweh did not answer him—neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpanompony: Itadiavo vehivavy manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra aho hankanesako any hanontaniako aminy. Ary hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Indro, misy vehivavy manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra eo Andora.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who talks with the dead, so that I may go to her and seek her advice.” His servants said to him, “See, there is a woman in Endor who claims to talk with the dead.”
8 Dia nanova tarehy Saoly ka nitafy fitafiana hafa, dia nandeha izy sy ny olona roa lahy nanaraka azy ka tonga tao amin-dravehivavy nony alina; ary hoy izy: Masìna ianao, manaova fankatovana ho ahy amin’ ny zavatra manindry anao, ka ampiakaro ho etỳ amiko izay hotononiko aminao.
Saul disguised himself, put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him; they went to the woman by night. He said, “Divine for me, I beg you, with a spirit, and bring me up whomever I name to you.”
9 Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Indro, fantatrao izay nataon’ i Saoly, dia ny nandroahany ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana hiala amin’ ny tany, ka nahoana ianao no mamandrika ny aiko hahafaty ahy?
The woman said to him, “See, you know what Saul has done, how he has banned from the land those who talk with the dead or with spirits. So why are you setting a trap for my life, to make me die?”
10 Ary Saoly nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy hisy heloka hahazo anao amin’ izao zavatra izao.
Saul swore to her by Yahweh and said, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Iza ary no hampiakariko ho eto aminao? Ary hoy izy: Samoela no ampiakaro ho etỳ amiko.
Then the woman said, “Whom should I bring up to you?” Saul said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
12 Ary hitan-dravehivavy Samoela, dia nidradradradra tamin’ ny feo mafy izy ka nanao tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Nahoana no namitaka ahy ianao? fa ianao no Saoly.
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice and spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul.”
13 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Aza matahotra; fa inona no hitanao? Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Saoly: Andriamanitra miakatra avy amin’ ny tany no hitako.
The king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
14 Ary hoy izy taminy: Manao ahoana no endriny? Dia hoy izy: Lehilahy antitra no miakatra sady mikapôty izy. Ary fantatr’ i Saoly fa Samoela izay, dia niondrika tamin’ ny tany izy ka niankohoka.
He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man is coming up; he is clothed with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and showed respect.
15 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ i Saoly: Nahoana no korontaninao aho ka ampiakarinao? Dia hoy Saoly: Tery loatra aho, fa miady amiko ny Filistina, ary Andriamanitra efa nahafoy ahy ka tsy mamaly teny ahy intsony, na amin’ ny mpaminany, na amin’ ny nofy; koa izany no nampanalako anao mba hampahalalanao ahy izay hataoko.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me and brought me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has left me and does not answer me any more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I will do.”
16 Ary hoy Samoela: Nahoana no manontany amiko ianao, nefa Jehovah efa mahafoy anao ka tonga fahavalonao.
Samuel said, “What then do you ask me, since Yahweh has left you, and he has become your enemy?
17 Fa Jehovah efa nanao ho Azy araka ny nampilazainy ahy; fa efa nendahany hiala amin’ ny tananao ny fanjakana ka nomeny an’ i Davida namanao.
Yahweh has done to you what he said he would. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand and he has given it to someone else—to David.
18 Satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah ianao ka tsy nahatanteraka ny fahatezerany mirehitra tamin’ ny Amalekita, dia izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah izao zavatra izao taminao androany.
Because you did not obey the voice of Yahweh and did not carry out his fierce wrath on Amalek, he has therefore done this today to you.
19 Ary hiaraka hatolotr’ i Jehovah ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina ny tenanao sy ny Isiraely; ary rahampitso dia ho etỳ amiko ianao sy ny zanakao; ary ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely koa dia hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina.
Yahweh will give Israel along with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will also give the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Dia lavo niampatra tamin’ ny tany niaraka tamin’ izay Saoly ka raiki-tahotra indrindra noho ny tenin’ i Samoela; sady efa tsy nisy hery intsony izy, satria tsy nihinan-kanina indray andro sy indray alina maninjitra.
Then Saul immediately fell his full length on the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all that day, neither that whole night.
21 Ary nankao amin’ i Saoly ravehivavy ka nahita azy ory indrindra, dia nanao taminy hoe: Indro, ny ankizivavinao nihaino ny feonao, dia nanao ny aiko tsy ho zavatra aho ka nihaino ny teninao izay nolazainao tamiko.
The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, She said to him, “See, your woman servant has listened to your voice; I have put my life in my hand and have listened to the words that you said to me.
22 Koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, mba henoy kosa ny tenin’ ny ankizivavinao, ary aoka aho handroso sombin-kanina kely eo anoloanao; dia hano izany mba hahatanjaka anao, raha handeha amin’ ny alehanao ianao.
Now therefore, I beg you, listen also to the voice of your woman servant, and let me set a little food in front of you. Eat so that you may gain strength for when you go on your way.”
23 Fa tsy nety izy, fa hoy izy: Tsy hihinana aho. Fa ny mpanompony sy ravehivavy mbola nanery azy ihany, ka dia nihaino ny feony izy. Dia nitsangana izy ka nipetraka teo am-parafara.
But Saul refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him, and he listened to their voice. So he rose from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Ary ravehivavy nanana zanak’ omby mifahy tao an-trano; dia nandeha haingana izy ka namono izany, ary naka koba izy, dia nofetafetainy ka nendasiny ho mofo tsy misy masirasira.
The woman had a fatted calf in the house; she hurried and killed it; she took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread with it.
25 Ary narosony teo anoloan’ i Saoly sy teo anoloan’ ny mpanompony izany; dia nihinana izy ireo, ary dia niainga ka lasa nandeha tamin’ iny alina iny ihany.
She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and left that night.
